Lord of the Silver Crow

"this is....."

After telling a pattern of heraldry, the old gentleman's finger moved to another pattern of heraldry. Although the color of the print was not rich, the outline of the heraldry was very clear——

"The long-lasting gale resides in Filek..."

"In the legend, some ancient noble families have some special habits called'greetings'."

"These greetings are usually used as greetings when they are of similar status or when the lower aristocrats meet the upper aristocrats, they also indicate that they know the origin of the other party."

"These greetings can basically find some clues from their coat of arms, and are related to the imagery on the coat of arms."

"Look, this coat of arms has a spiral-shaped line pattern on it. This is the image of'wind'."

"In the heraldry, the spiral green lines, the jumbled lines and some parallel curves like the upper left and the lower right all represent the image related to'wind'."

"It is not accurate and easy to judge based on lines alone. General heraldry will have animal totem graphics, such as images of birds such as eagles, falcons, canaries, nightingales, and griffins. , Eagles and other fantasy creatures."

"For example, the coat of arms of the royal family of Stumonk consists of three parts—"

"The fuchsia giant trees and the arrows that penetrate the giant trees, the three eagles flying around the giant trees, and the crown constructed by messy lines."

"Fuchsia and purple often symbolize sovereignty, and the arrows that run through things, such as bones or shields, symbolize death. The images of eagles are more common, and they have'responsibility','keenness','decisive', ' Quickness and alertness mean decisiveness."

"The crown constructed by messy lines...The crown is naturally a symbol of monarchy, representing the status of the ruler of the Stumonk family, and the messy lines that represent the gale, many researchers believe that there are'storms' and'situations.' Derivative meanings like'chaos'."

"Basically, many families will promote the glorious history of the family as much as possible on the coat of arms. The coat of arms of the Stumonk family also shows that they have won the royal status from the original ruler... "

The old gentleman talked eloquently, taking Stumunk, the coat of arms well-known to the Cartesian royal family as an example—

"The coat of arms of the Filek family also has three parts—"

"The spiral green line represents the gale, represents the storm, and the middle..."

The words spoken by the old gentleman paused slightly:

"Snake, the pattern in the middle should be a variant of the snake pattern. The imagery patterns used by different families are roughly similar, but there are also different."

"Snakes in heraldic designs often represent'knowledge'."

"Knowledge?"

Mr. Gores, who had never had a chance to interject from the beginning to the end, couldn't wait to say:

"How can something like a snake represent knowledge?"

Snakes always remind people of poison and death, how could it be just.

Faced with the action of Mr. Goers eager to show his "common sense", the old gentleman only glanced at him slightly:

"I don't know why. If you object to this explanation, you can publish your papers in some more influential research books or colleges. Scholars who study history will be very willing to communicate with you."

The old gentleman's unsatisfactory refutation made the Mr. Goers embarrassed. At this time, the lady Mary came out to make a round for her husband:

"Mr. Green, are you saying that this Filek family is a family proud of knowledge and knowledge?"

"I don't know." The old gentleman shook his head.

"Huh?" With this response, everyone, including Burdy and Lawris, couldn't help but stunned.

"The coat of arms has a long history, but the coat of arms is not only available to nobles."

"To be more specific, only the nobles will study the image of the pattern depicted on the coat of arms, and only they will pay attention to the image."

"The history of the coat of arms is too long. Perhaps at the beginning, these coats of arms were only used by the nobles. However, the history that can be known now is that the coat of arms was used by the'knight' class, which was not strictly aristocratic. ."

"Although there are studies that the shield coat of arms comes from military aristocrats, in the current history of information, the shield coat of arms was first worn by those knights who were fully armored on the battlefield in order to show that their identities were not accidentally injured... ...."

"After a certain period of time, in addition to nobles, merchants, travelers, wineries, and various groups, all kinds of civilians can use heraldry."

"Nobles and those with a certain amount of knowledge know what the patterns, patterns and colors of the coat of arms represent, and they will be regulated when they are used. However, it is obvious that various people and groups other than these people do not strictly abide by... ...."

"So, in many cases afterwards, the patterns on the coat of arms may not necessarily correspond to the corresponding symbolic interpretations."

"After that, this situation also reversely affected those nobles, and their use of heraldry imagery also appeared a lot of irregularities..."

With emotion, the old gentleman moved his finger away from the gale crest:

"Including'greetings', this kind of greetings from the ancient aristocracy, which seems to come from some complicated rituals, and even appeared in some commercial arenas. Those counterfeit nights who imitate knights' duels will make up one for themselves, at least not unpleasant. "Greetings", oh, they call this a "title"."

"What brave bear hunter, the wind eagle in the east..."

The old gentleman looked at the coat of arms in the book half with emotion and half regret:

"In fact, many of the coats of arms in these books cannot be traced to the source."

The old gentleman's explanation made several people understand what he meant.

The poor imitations of the imitators made things that could have been used as signs no longer be signs, and things that could have been accurately compared to history also lost their accuracy.

Just like the term "jazz" was originally a general term for nobles, and later there were more quasi-nobles, and in the end, as long as there was a little money, some social status was "jazz".

The reason why the imitator imitates may be because of fame, maybe because of money, maybe because of worship, or even just because of fun, because of a whim, but no matter what the reason, the coat of arms is gradually chaotic. Moreover, it has become a fact that it is popular and loses its accuracy.

The history told by the old gentleman made Burdy sigh with emotion.

At this moment, Lauris suddenly said:

"Green... Sir..."

Imitating Burdy's title just now, Lauris's gaze fell on the ring on his slightly wrinkled right hand.

She had been paying attention to Burdi's movements, and she found the ring because of Burdi's sight.

"Your ring is also heraldic jewelry, right?"

She blinked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"My ring?"

The old gentleman touched his fingers, seeming a little confused and a little confused, as if he was reminiscing but he was not sure, and said:

"I can't be sure of its history..."
