I Am Louis XIV

Prince Uriel smiled kindly at the Duke. When he did this, he didn't look evil at all, and even looked a little compassionate. His body was thin, just like his incarnation of the angel long-tailed moth, he had a kind of The beauty seemed to collapse at any moment, but at the next moment, he collided with Prince Theodric.

The Duke of Orleans couldn't help but think of what his brother once described to him, the first time he saw Prince Theodric and Prince Amon fighting together - it was hard for him to imagine it before, but now he can experience it for himself ——He didn’t know how Amon and Theodric fought, but the fighting method of the Makavi parents was not only not as bloody and cruel as people thought, it was even very beautiful and moving.

Yes, wonderful.

His form is not fixed, the outline of his body is almost translucent, and the bright magnetic slender light surrounds him like vines coiled around the statue. At first, the Duke thought it was moonlight, but during the battle, this kind of rays of light surrounded him. The light accompanied Prince Uriel's movements, sometimes bright, sometimes soft - just like...ah, yes, like a light in a thick fog.

The Duke has a mansion on Queen's Road and his own suite in the Louvre. The standard second only to the king allows him to look at half of Paris as he likes. The streets of Paris have been in ruins since the king issued the "Gas Light Order". It is bright day and night, but in the morning and evening of summer and winter, the diffuse fog will still turn the entire city into a chaotic world, with only the diligent gas lamps, which flicker and appear in the flowing fog, like a rushing river. The light refracted by splashing water droplets.

Theodric was able to claw Prince Uriel's descendant to pieces. Before receiving the help of his blood relatives, the young vampire could not even condense into shape. However, this strong beast was unable to carry out his attack on Uriel. The prince's body - whether it is fangs, sharp claws or a powerful body,

The Duke recalled that the wizards told them some knowledge about the Vampire Clan, and he also knew about the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts of the Vampire Clan. He also saw Amon's golem and Theodric's wand. What the Makavi clan should have is a ghost lantern. It is said that this ghost lantern comes from the deepest part of hell. It is burning with the fat of virgins and the souls of saints. It can create hallucinations and control the behavior of others.

And except for Mokawi's parents, no one knows the specific appearance of the ghost lantern, because this ghost lantern will change its shape according to the owner's needs.

The Duke was a master of duels and could capture fleeting opportunities even on the battlefield. Although he couldn't even capture the shadows of the two vampire princes, he could still feel Prince Theodric's frustration. He clung to him. On the side of the ship, holding a musket, he listened to the movements around him, but except for the strange sharp cry of moths, he heard no other sounds. He suspected that he might have been taken to a place that mortals could not touch and intervene.

He set his sights on the Mokavi member again. The strange thing was that the vampire wanted to attack him at first, but now he only cast a vicious look.

The Duke's heart sank slightly. At this time, Prince Theodric fell back to him. Although he was in the form of a cheetah, his fur was colder than ice and snow. Perhaps this was the normal state of the vampires. In such a rapidly changing battle, The prince had no time to control his own temperature, so he naturally turned into his original state - after all, all vampires can be said to be unwilling dead, and the blood of the dead is always cold.

Speaking of which, even if the two princes fought hundreds of times, it would only take a few seconds in human time.

"Theodric," said Uriel, "you cannot defeat me."

In the end, Theodric's power was only a small part, and in and around this ghost ship, there was no telling how many members of the Malkavi were hidden in the thick fog.

"Give up," Uriel said again: "I don't want to kill the head of another clan because of this matter."

"Then have you ever thought," said Theodric, "what will happen to the Macavian people whose ancestral home is Toledo, once Louis XIV is victorious?"

"This is why I came here," Uriel said bluntly: "First of all, I want to congratulate you, Theodric, you have made an impeccable choice. Among humans, your king is more than Defeating his enemies again and again, his light shines on most of Europe, and he also wants to put the crown of Spain on the head of his youngest son. But you also made an irreparable mistake, you indulged a mortal He extended his tentacles of power into areas he shouldn't have touched, and you allowed him to raise wizards and use them as wolf dogs to drive away our kindred."

He smiled when he said this: "Although Nophele is almost not recognized by us, after all, it is still almost - your king has crossed the most important limit..."

"So even though you knew very well that he was under the protection of Vandro and Zmich," Theodric said, "you still took action."

"We took action," Uriel said: "This was a decision made by more than three parents. Dear Theodric, not to mention that Louis XIV's ambition not only covered the day, but also covered the night. Just say that he is about to become a 'Caesar', Theodric, we cannot allow it, we all know that a chaotic, dark, and ignorant Europa is best for us."

"Ah, I understand," Theodric said: "Indeed, humans are moving forward, but the vampires cannot keep up. Louis is already a threat to you."

The Duke of Orleans listened, and his heart could not help but tighten. In fact, in the other world, the die-hards and conservatives among wizards did not have any good impressions of the Sun King, except for the fact that the Sun King intended to include the other world as his own. Outside the territory, that is, this king does not allow the other world to continue their life as lifelessly and calmly as it did for the previous thousand years.

Those young wizards only saw the freedom, light and ideals in the outside world, but they were unable to see the imminent crisis that older people could see - in the era of Merlin, all mortals relied on were only a small number of black iron weapons and leather weapons. Armed with armor and strong bodies, they were afraid of wild beasts, floods, fire and thunder. They were so stupid and ignorant that they could only count on their fingers and could not even write their own names. Wizards who can control knowledge, nature, and possess talents are simply like gods or servants of gods to them (in that era and earlier, wizards were indeed often regarded as priests and servants of gods).

Even if some of the wizards' separatists later turned to the church, whether it was the church or the wizards who stayed where they were, they still stood high above mortals.

But it was these despised humans who eventually drove the wizards into a small inner world, forcing the vampires to escape the world and destroying all the werewolf gathering places.

What now? Since the reign of Louis XIV, humankind's development in science and technology has changed from a slow walk to a rapid run. Although most of this was driven by war, it was also because Louis XIV was a man who was obsessed with almost all gods and extraordinary beings. A person without fear - his "tolerance" is the greatest enemy of all non-human beings.

There are many wizards, werewolves, and even vampires who fully agree and support this king's equal treatment of all people, just like Theodric, but this is because Theodric is the "most human-like" among all vampire parents. He has deep feelings for France, so much so that he will help the royal family in this land - there are also those who can see the future, but due to their peculiar personal hobbies, would rather laugh and stand by, such as Amon.

But more residents of the other world, especially the vampire elders who have gone through years of tempering, are full of fear of Louis XIV.

Louis XIV remade mankind into a sharp weapon, but paralyzed the entire world with his tenderness. He seduced wizards, bribed werewolves, and deceived vampires - using all kinds of sweet methods and words, he could not help but By pointing the sword at the latter, the gullible will think that he is like a saint willing to sleep with the wolves, unaware that this arrogant mortal is putting a noose around their necks.

Whether they are wizards, werewolves or vampires, he must firmly control them so that they can be used by him - Nophele was driven out of France not just because they had attempted to assassinate Louis XIV, but Because they are of no use to Louis XIV, otherwise look at Ammon. He may have offended the king even more than Nophele, but Louis XIV was even willing to trade with the King of Sweden for him, exchanging an important military port. Return to the ancestral homeland of Zmich.

The problem is that in a short period of time, the vampire family may be the most important card in the king's hand, but the life of the vampire family is so long, and the development of mankind is so fast. In the Merlin era, the vampire family will have to escape from the world. , a hundred years later, or a thousand years later?

If the vampires, or even the entire world, can close themselves, the inevitable dusk may come later, but will Louis XIV allow it?

Is there another voice in his territory and country? Another king? Another law?

"But the victory rate of Leopold I and the anti-French coalition is not high." Theodric was silent for a moment and then said: "The ancestral homeland of Makavi will always be only Toledo, Uriel, don't you think Do you think the king will be threatened by you?"

"I know this is impossible, even though this is the king's only brother." Uriel looked at the Duke of Orleans. The Duke was a human being. He was naked and scarred, but he still stood upright and looked very proud. He threw a Appreciative eyes: "So I want Mr. Duke to be my descendant." He said lightly.

The Duke's heart skipped a beat.
