"Frankly," Theodric said bluntly: "I didn't intend to intervene so deeply at the beginning-if Amon of Tsmith suddenly went crazy..."

"You must thank Uncle Theodric, I said," Louis said happily. "If it weren't for him, I might not have a child as cute as you."

"Bissar Mazaran made only one mistake, and he almost died that time. Since then, your father has always followed the priests - it can only be said that His Majesty the King or the Monsieur of the Bishop had other ideas at that time." Theodric said, and then he paused: "No, it should be all the thoughts of our Majesty. I don't think Bissar Mazaran is so crazy that he ignores his beliefs with the French." Next he glanced at Louis: "Do you think I should continue?"

"I don't think there is anything unspeakable between us," Louis joked, and then nodded slightly: "Tell me, little Louis is fourteen years old, Mr. Theodric, I was almost this age at that time."

"Your father is so bold." Theodric said unmovedly: "Your Highness, before him, there were no people without faith. They were either too stupid, too smart, or too shameless. Your father might have both of these three. In short, after Merlin and King Arthur's era, the church's attack on the wizards was the most severe and widest, far better than the so-called Inquisition - of course, you can understand that it was just two political forces strangling each other because their origins were one."

Little Louis pinched his hand nervously, and Maozi screamed in dissatisfaction. He took it out crampedly and placed it on his knees, instead of entangling his fingers.

"In the five hundred years between 700 and 1200 years, the church did succeed in doing what Merlin did not do. They replaced them - the little gentleman, and the wizards could do what the priests could do, only a few wizards, because of blood and marriage, of course, the former is the most important. They were protected by the king and survived - this situation was not relieved until after the Crusader Holy War." When Theodric said this, Louis raised his hand and signaled a pause.

"Tell me, my child, you have finished your history class for this period. You can speculate on what consequences it will end up with."

Faced with the king's problem, Louis Xiao thought for a moment, of course, as the heir of a country: "The church originally wanted to use jihad to consolidate its power, but they failed."

"A very serious failure," said Theodric. "The priests of the church were constantly losing their losses in the continual wars that they had to recruit new blood from the inner world, which were the judges and presiding judges of the Inquisition."

"You can see," Louis said: "The Inquisition was constrained by the church at the beginning, but in just a hundred years, their partners turned to secular forces."

"It's like the two kings of Spain." Theodric said: "At that time, Queen Castilla and King Ferdinand of Aragon used the Inquisition to clear different voices in the court and plunder the wealth of their subjects. They used this weapon properly and saved a lot of effort for the rulers later. But," he emphasized, "But even they were not as much as your father did...excessive," he obviously chose a gentle word as possible: "Although the church came from wizards, or from the older polytheistic beliefs, they did make themselves a virgin. Even if there were no stupid crazy believers among the king and the queen, but for hundreds of years, continuous education and guidance, it also set up a tight line of defense, which made many people dare not step beyond the line."

"I know," said Little Louis, pursed his lips, "I have taken philosophy class." This is why the more educated people, the less religious faith is, the king lets the witches do things in the army, and in his new army, if it were the former army? Ha, they would either flee around or rush up, send the witches to the stolen rack, and imprison the "crazy" king.

For example, the kings and queens in the past were also systematically educated since childhood. Although these courses must include theology, there will also be content from ancient philosophy (mainly Greece and Rome). These philosophical courses that flourished in the era of polytheistic beliefs can make people clear-headed and quick-thinking, and will not be limited to one place that is difficult to extricate themselves.

Some people may ask, wasn’t the initial university founded by the church? Yes, church people, especially senior teachers who have not yet taken away the last trace of reason by alcohol and women, know very well how important education is. They are not that they cannot fool the people, but that they cannot continue to fool the people. When those who hold power and money realize that knowledge cannot be monopolized in the hands of the church, they will start learning (when they do not have such awareness, the church is the nest of forgers and fraudsters) - the church can only take the lead and take this power in their own hands.

"So now most people still believe in purgatory." Louis said thoughtfully.

"Everyone, except you," said Theodric.

"Even I may not be able to deny it. After all, no dead man came back to tell us whether there was purgatory, hell and devil." The king said: "But this idea, you can also say faith, has become an intangible asset of the church. That is to say, they can use it to bargain with people. Gentlemen, such as indulgences, extortions, sacraments at the end of their lives. They have carefully created a palace and prison of nothingness, and before everyone wants to do anything, he must consider it, so as not to go to hell, or lose the qualification to ascend to heaven. The priests, they have no need to pay anything, except their spit."

Little Louis took a deep breath, and he could vaguely feel it before - but today his father obviously lifted the last layer of fig leaf.

"Maybe you are wondering why we chose this time," said Theodric. "Because you have seen the impermanence and bloody cruelty in the mundane world, then you have to see with your own eyes the strangeness and unpredictability in the extraordinary, and as I said before, the culprit is your father."

"Your father is rare and does not care about those chips at all - those who are held by the priests, who are more ambitious than any king I have ever seen. He is like another Caesar, who is about to plunder when he sees it. He cannot tolerate another voice appearing in his court and even in the church. He has a bad head, worse than King Arthur, who has only one Merlin, and he is by his side - you know, he doesn't mind accepting anyone with power."

"Then the problem came," Louis continued, "I knew everyone was staring at me, watching when I went to hell, but they waited and waited, not only did I not go to hell, but I also got the Netherlands and Flanders - that barrier, no, it should be said to be yarn, which was finally exposed by me."

Speaking of this, even Theodric showed a sarcastic look. The former handsome man Philip IV (King) completely broke the church's fantasy in military terms, while Louis XIV made the last bit of majesty of the church disappear in faith. Speaking of which, France was really the good daughter of the Roman church - one Gornell and the other Reagan (Note 1).

"So after the Battle of the Netherlands, the kings of all countries began to use the wizards of the world for their own use," said Theodric. "There are not many wizards with long-term vision and wise minds, but they also have parts that cannot be replaced by ordinary people. The sudden recovery of Charles II of England and Carlos II of Spain may not be related to them. Moreover, in this war, if you see the existence of those kings and generals who are not like knights or priests, those may be wizards."

"And I heard that the Ottoman Turks also brought their Grand Priest and Priest," said Theodric. "I'm a little unfamiliar with them, so next, you'd better take the cat with you, and it's better not to leave the Priests around you."

Little Louis nodded obediently, Theodric couldn't help but glance at Louis. Although Little Louis was the son of Louis XIV and was taken by him for many years, he had no similarity to his father in terms of temper and personality: "Then I will say goodbye first, two of you." He said, and then turned into a gray-black mist and crawled out of the gap in the window.

Theodric could also walk out, but the corridor outside the room was full of priests. Although he had a tacit understanding with the priests around the king, it would be better if they could not meet without meeting each other.

Little Louis hesitated for a moment as the fog disappeared. Louis grabbed the cat from his knee, put it outside the door, and pushed its butt: "Wait a little later," said His Majesty the King: "Give you salmon for dinner." He walked back and saw his prince's expression complicated - he didn't know it before, for now he knew that the cat was part of Theoderick... He could know what the king did to it...

"Toodric will understand," said Louis: "What do you want to say to me?"

"Father," said Louis, "I thought you would let the Duke of Colonna manage the world of France..."

"How could you have such an idea?" said Louis: "How could I make such a childish mistake that when I finally let France merge into one, I tear it apart?"

"But I'm just a mortal."

"I am just a mortal, too," said Louis XIV.

"It's not like that," said Louis Little: "You're not an ordinary person, I know."

"Hey," Louis showed a subtle smile: "Tell me, son."

Today is just right for the right time, and he doesn't mind giving little Louis a deeper understanding of the other world he will rule, but what did he hear?

—————

"The king is a wizard?" The Duke of Monponcier was on the bed when he heard this. It was an extremely beautiful night. The Duke of Monponcier lost three satisfactory marriages in succession. After Louis XIV, the Duke of Orleans and Prince Conde, he had lost the urge and enthusiasm to find a husband. However, there are still many people who are willing to show their gratitude to the richest heiress in France, including several foreign dukes and princes.

But let the Duchess say that if France was still as weak as she was thirty years ago, she might have considered marrying abroad, especially when her father could not become the king of France, nor could she become the queen of France. But now France is strong and prosperous, prosperous and fashionable. Her status among noble girls is second only to the queen mother, queen and princess, and she will leave France when she is crazy.

With such considerations, the Dukewoman would never accept courtship from foreigners. The only ones who could surround her were the French. Yes, although the Dukewoman was in his forties, the king also praised her as a blooming rose. It was the time when the color was the most intense and the fragrance was the most vivid. Because Louis XIV developed cosmetics that did not harm the human body in advance, liberated the wizards, and repeatedly gave honors and rewards to craftsmen and bachelors. The Dukewoman and other noble girls would not have experienced aging and disease in advance for beauty, as women in the past, for beauty. Her body was tall and plump, with smooth and fair skin, and her dark chestnut hair and eyes were like a lioness, with charming spirit in her ferocity. Although her suitors were not all sincere, they were not so embarrassed when speaking compliments.

However, the only guest of the Duke's entry into the mall in the past year was Earl Rozen, the lucky kid from the Komon family, who was once a member of the King's Musketeers' guards, but because he repeatedly violated the king's rules - he was the kind of person who was accustomed to seeking pleasure and doing whatever he wanted, he was driven out of the Musketeers' team long before the Battle of Flanders - after which people often saw him wandering in the woods of Boulogne, and later he didn't know who he passed through, and he walked into the Palace of Versailles and took the opportunity to get on the Duketes.

Earl Rozen was worried about his character, but in terms of appearance, he had nothing to be picky about, and had a strong body. He was often wearing a loose linen dress in the duchess' room and on her bed, a long-sleeved robe that was roughly up to his knees, with nothing underneath, and the knot at the collar was completely opened to reveal Chiluo's chest.
