Chapter 30: The Ambition of Archduke Otto
Before dawn, there was a knock on the door of the Twilight Cathedral, and several guards came to the door, and they brought the will of the supreme leader of the Duchy of Bavaria, so that the Bishop of Tassen, who had not rested well the previous night, was awakened by the servants, and he had to put on his most solemn robe so early in the morning, and followed the guards to the Grand Duke's palace, and Archduke Otto had been waiting for Bishop Tassen in the garden.

As Bishop Tassen approached, Archduke Otto immediately rose from his seat and gave him a warm hug, and Bishop Tassen's nervousness calmed down considerably.
Bishop Tasen was actually afraid to see the Grand Duke, and because of his status, he could not make a decision, but when he was so warmly welcomed by the Grand Duke, the big stone in his heart finally fell. Bishop Tassen prayed very reverently for the Grand Duke and the Duchy of Bavaria, and then sat down on the side of the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke poured a cup of tea for Bishop Tassen, and the red tea leaves rippled in the cup.
The Grand Duke smiled and said, "I'm really sorry to invite you over so early, so I won't talk nonsense!
Bishop Tasen leaned down slightly, and said slowly: "If I guess correctly, the Grand Duke is here for the next month's ceremony!" The Grand Duke smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, I am here for the celebration of the completion of the Dunnis Cathedral next month! Of course, there is also the matter of my coronation!" Tasen smiled, stood up and bowed slightly, and said: "Thank you for your support, we can build it smoothly, and the church thanks you for your dedication! May the Lord bless you!"
Archduke Otto just smiled slightly, and then said, "Bishop Tasen, let's not beat around the bush!"
Archduke Otto glanced at Tassen and said, "You must have heard rumors that I would like to ask a cardinal of the Cult of God to come and coronate me. ā
Tasen nodded and said, "I did hear such rumors, I don't know what you mean, Grand Duke?"
Grand Duke Otto smiled and replied, "I really have no such intentions!"
Tasen was disappointed after hearing this, but still said with a smile on his face: "Please think again, sooner or later, the light of God will cover the entire continent! Joining the Church of Light as soon as possible is the best choice for you! Similarly, it is also the best choice for the Duchy of Bavaria!"
Grand Duke Otto shook his head and replied: "I am not refusing to be crowned by the Church, but by refusing to have a cardinal come to crown me!"
Tassen frowned and asked, "I don't quite understand what you mean!" Otto smiled and explained, "Actually, what I hope is that a cardinal archbishop can crown me!"
After hearing this, Tasen laughed a few times in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and he replied with a serious expression: "Your Excellency Grand Duke Otto, I think your idea is too unrealistic!"
Archduke Otto asked suspiciously, "Why?" Bishop Tassen smiled and said, "How is this possible?" The Grand Duke asked solemnly again: "Why is it impossible?" Bishop Tasen's smile gradually disappeared, he looked at the clear eyes of the Grand Duke, he pondered for a while and said: "Our church has a rule, cardinal archbishops only crown kings, and your identity should be crowned by a cardinal!"
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the Grand Duke's eyes, and he still smiled at Tasen and said, "What if, instead of being the Grand Duke, but as the King?"
Grand Duke Otto smiled and said, "Is there a problem with this?" Tathan pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Excellency, is your land enough to build a state?
Archduke Otto laughed: "Of course, I'm not here to joke with you, but, the Duchy of Bavaria is about to become the Kingdom of Bavaria! And I will become the first king of the Kingdom of Bavaria! I think this status is worthy of a cardinal archbishop to crown me! If I join the Church, then the Cult of the Illuminati will once again shine in the north of the entire continent!"
Tassen stared at Archduke Otto for a full minute, he found that he seemed to be the first time he really knew the young archduke, Tassen was silent for a long time, and after a while he said: "Your Excellency, in this case, there are some things that I have also said bluntly, tomorrow afternoon, a cardinal of our church will come here, he is the officiant of the first mass of the Dunnis Cathedral, I think this matter is still up to him!"
Archduke Otto nodded, and continued to talk and laugh with Bishop Tassen, both of whom were thinking about their hearts.
After a while, one of the chamberlains went up to the Grand Duke and whispered a few words, and Bishop Tassen hastened to his feet, and when he walked out of the room, he saw several knights in armor sitting on chairs on the side waiting for Archduke Otto to summon him.
Tassen sighed, he understood Archduke Otto's thoughts, but he didn't know whether the current situation was beneficial to the church, and he didn't know how true or false Archduke Otto's words were today.
He shook his head helplessly and continued walking, while there were constantly squires leading some knights through the gardens and corridors, and Tassen carefully observed these knights, except for the knights of the Grand Duke's family, more of them were pioneer knights, and they did not have any family crest, they were preparing to make their own history with blood and steel.
When Bishop Tassen appeared at the Twilight Cathedral, Colin was already sitting on the large sofa and had started to eat breakfast.
Breakfast was barley bread with fresh milk, the piping hot milk was personally brought by Droz in the morning, he sat on the side and smiled and watched Colin eat breakfast one bite at a time, he smiled and said: "I have prepared a lot of breakfast, try to eat as much as possible, milk is very good for your body!"
Colin asked strangely, "Uncle Delo, oh, Deacon Dero, what is your job in the Twilight Church?" Droz replied with a smile after hearing this, "I'm still the deputy deacon, hehe, my job in the church is mainly in charge of logistics, why do you ask this?" "I want to ask, can I leave the church for a while?" Of course, although you live here now, no one can restrain your movements, if you need someone to be a guide, I think I can do it, I've lived here for two years!" "Oh, it turns out that Deacon Dro is not a Dunnie!" "Of course not, my hometown is in a small town in the Duchy of Lawson, Rosen, do you know?Oh, you don't know, Rosen used to be the place of the Elven Empire, and the musical instruments produced there are famous all over the world, and I entered the church when I was very young!" "Then how is your strength?" "What kind of strength, do you mean my fighting spirit? I don't have any fighting talent, I'm only level five now, and I may only be level five in my life, which is one of the reasons why I can't enter the top level in the future!"
After speaking, Dro's face showed a trace of loneliness, he joined the church at a very young age, but his fighting talent is really poor, and even cultivating to the fifth level is an unimaginable effort for many people, but there are hard rules in the church, cardinals must reach the heavenly position, so no matter how much Dero achieves in the future, it is impossible for him to enter the real upper echelons of the church.
Of course, the most critical place is Droz's background, his father is just an ordinary pianist, and his mother is also an ordinary woman, and it is even more impossible for Droz to rise to the top!
Colin glanced at Droz and thought to himself that I had better not tell him what I had been through, or what would he do if he would go to trouble with the lioness.
In fact, Colin's worries were unnecessary, if Droz really ate a fruit, he would immediately return to the warm embrace of the god of light.
Colin comforted Dero and said: "Many people can't cultivate Douqi, don't be discouraged, maybe there will be changes in the future!" Dero shook his head and said: "I don't have any delusions about becoming a cardinal, I am very satisfied to be an adjutant bishop in a cathedral in my life!"
Dro sighed for a while and asked curiously, "Do you want to go out and visit Dusk City, our priests are quite safe in the city, and we don't need to bring guards!" Colin thought for a while and said, "There is an uncle who sent me here who is in some trouble, and it seems that someone is going to bully him today, so I want to go over and help him!"
Droz laughed and said confidently: "Whoever is so blind and dares to offend the people of our church, it's okay, I'll take a few people with you, and the people who provoke our church should be sent to the gallows!"
Droz's self-confidence comes from the establishment of the Twilight Cathedral, and because of the friendly relationship between the Grand Duke of Bavaria and the Church now, if he had changed to before, he would not dare to say this after killing Dro!
When Colin and Droz left the church with several members of the church, Droz thought that Colin's uncle was nothing more than being bullied by the ruffians, but when he came to the earl's shop, Droz's mouth began to feel bitter, and he asked with a hint of anxiety: "Is your uncle being bullied by this shop?"
Colin shook his head, Dro's heart suddenly calmed down, and he just wanted to smile and say, "Fortunately, it's not this shop, otherwise we can't afford to mess with it!"
But before he could say anything, Colin said, "He's the guard of this store, and he's been bullied by others!"
Droz's heart instantly cooled, and he immediately remembered that he heard a message yesterday, and he asked suspiciously: "Are you sure, do you know the name of the uncle who sent you?" "Uncle Tiger!" Dro immediately said to Colin seriously after hearing the name Tiger: "This matter has nothing to do with our church, so I can't let our church get involved in this matter!"
