In the church outside the castle of Mason, a loud bell rang, in the sound of the nobles and important people of the Duchy of Mason walked into this church together, in the Middle Ages because of low productivity so most of the buildings were small and practical, but there is only one kind of building is a special case, that is, there will be a church in the center of every town, medieval Europa with religion as the core, people seem to be willing to worship a qiē to build the church in their town is magnificent and spacious, The county of Mason, the political and economic center of the Principality of Mason, was no exception, and the church, which could accommodate hundreds of people at a time, was built of stone and marble, and inside the church, the master of the Masons' Guild supported the entire roof with two rows of columns with arched tops, and the roof was deliberately built to resemble a heavenly dome, as if God was looking down on the world from the sky.

Directly opposite the door of the church is a huge stained glazed window, through which the sunlight shines into the people who enter, as if to make these devout believers bathe in the illusion of the grace of the Lord, the huge cross and the crucifix, as if telling the people that their happy life is obtained by the sacrifice of the Son, and therefore to consecrate a qiē to the Lord, and the King of Heaven certainly does not have the leisure to pay attention to the lowly mortals, but through the medium of the church can reach the heavens. However, the prerequisite is that you must give your wealth to the Holy Church.

In ancient times, there is nothing more powerful than religion to accumulate wealth, and the Catholic Church in Europa will soon surpass even many of the great nobles in wealth and land, although the power of the Church has not yet reached its peak around the 9th century, but the nobles and townspeople everywhere are willing to build churches to show their piety.

The church outside Mason Castle has been built since the time of the grandfather of the Duke of Ebel. Gradually expanding to the grand scale of another main hall and two auxiliary naves, and three generations of continuous renovations, Duke Abel looked at this ancestral church, and thought with emotion that he should continue to expand this church, and his son should do the same, and so should his son's son, and his son's son will of course make this church the most magnificent building on the continent of Europa.

"Yiyiyi~~~, ahhh As the bishop's long voice reverberated through the hall on the altar, the prelude to the hymn protracted in a long tone made the people in the church feel solemn and mysterious. The deacon of the church wipes back and forth with an incense burner in his hand. The incense burner lit with the most precious spices from the East, the smell of which lifted the spirits of the nobles, and on the left side of the altar fifteen choir children, dressed in white robes. Standing in three rows, under the command of a man in front, he sang hymns in his own crisp and immature voice. The heavenly sound of heaven made the people in the church listen to it with fascination.

"Arrode. Thanks to your idea, look, the nobles simply thought they had entered heaven. "Princess Josie was at the forefront of the line with Arrod. She whispered into Arrod's ear.

"It's my pleasure." Arold only smiled slightly, when the Duke of Abel was about to perform the succession ceremony, he hoped that he would be able to hold a ceremony in the church that would impress the nobles of the entire Duchy of Mason, the church deacon's idea was too old-fashioned, and it was completely contrary to the Duke of Abel's idea that he wanted to usher in a new era, and in a fit of rage, he almost beat up the poor church deacon, but Princess Josie stopped his angry brother by passing by.

"Why don't you look for Arrod, is there anyone wiser than him in this court?" Princess Josie's words woke up Duke Able, and he immediately called Arold to discuss countermeasures.

Arold, who was called by the furious Duke of Abel, didn't have any good ideas at first, and he couldn't let people twist the big Yangge in the church to set off the atmosphere, but Arold's soul came from later generations after all, and he quickly thought of the theological and religious culture that had not yet appeared at this time, the children's choir, don't underestimate this idea, the early rituals of the Catholic religion were simple, and the propaganda methods that used music and various mystical ceremonies in later generations were completely different, and gave birth to the early choral art and theological art of Europa, And Arold gathered a group of children with crisp voices and asked Webster to teach them basic choral skills, and this choral art, which seemed to Arold to be very basic, was enough to dumb and fascinate these hillbilly aristocrats.

"Yes." Duke Abole, who peeked at the side hall secretly, looked at the nobles who had fallen into the obsession with the singing of the children's choir, his face showed a smug smile, sometimes the shock of culture was more effective than the sword, and when the last praise of the children's choir ended, Duke Abel walked out of the side hall with the help of two attendants, almost stepping on the echo of the song.

He wore a towering crown of gold on his head, and he wore a double robe, the inner robe was golden yellow, and the outer square robe was solemn black, both robes were embroidered with gold thread, which shone brilliantly as he walked, and the hanging square robe was embroidered with various flowers, branches, and warrior pictures, and the Duke of Abel's soft and shining blonde hair was draped over his shoulders, and he held in his hands a scepter that had originally belonged to the Duke of Bohemia and was now a glorious trophy and footnote in the succession ceremony of the Duke of Abel.

The end of the hanging robe dragged long on the ground, and the two attendants lifted it with their hands behind them, and followed the Duke of Abel closely, and the selection of the two attendants was also extremely careful, they must be two noble children with innocent family backgrounds, they were wearing blue squire long woolen jackets, woolen velvet leggings showed strong and tight thighs and straight calves, and their feet were also covered with shoes with two-inch long toes, just from the clothes of the attendants around them, the power of Duke Abel could be seen from the outfits of the attendants around them.

When the Duke of Abel walked out and walked towards the altar of the church, the nobles of Mason in the hall saluted him, the men put their hands on their chests and bent deeply, and the women bowed their heads and bowed their knees, and the sun in the sky happened to pass through the stained glazed windows, and several golden rays of sunlight shone in, which happened to shine on the Duke of Abel, making him shine like an angel, so that no one could look directly at this great man.

"Great Lord Abel, wilt thou do the will of the Lord and be kind to thy people, to take care of the lord's nobles, and to do all in your power to protect the property of the Church?" The bishop of the region asked a few symbolic questions.

"I do." Abel knelt on a soft square woolen cushion with gold threads in the corners, which had been used by the noble to kneel down in the church to confess, and now came in handy.

"In the name of God, acknowledge your legal rights, Lord Duke." The bishop of the region took a small glass bottle with holy oil, wiped it on his finger, and then stretched out his hand to make a cross on the forehead of Duke Abel, who knelt before him.

"Brush brush~~." When the anointing ceremony was completed, the deacon of the church standing next to him hurriedly picked up a holy water brush, dipped it in the holy water basin, and sprinkled it on the head of the Duke of El to bless the new Duke.

"Long live Duke Able, long live ~~~." When the bareoting ceremony and the salute of sprinkling holy water were completed, the nobles present shouted in unison, and the Duke of El, with a cross painted in oil on his forehead and clumsy clothes, stood up, with a bright smile on his face, and waved to the nobles who supported him.

"Hmph." Arold looked at Count Lautz, who was led by a column opposite him, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, thinking about how to end Count Lauzitz's life after the ceremony, feeling Arold's gaze, Count Lauzitz turned his head to look at Arold, if the sight of the two could kill people, they would probably die once or twice each.
