Lord of the Silver Crow

This is.

After talking about a heraldry pattern, the old gentleman moved his fingers to another heraldic pattern. Although the color is not rich in the print, the outline of the heraldry is very clear——

The ancient gale dwells in Felek.

According to legend, some ancient aristocratic families have some special habits called 'greetings'.

These greetings are usually similar in status or when the lower-ranking nobles meet the upper-ranking nobles, they are used as greetings, and they also show 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 line pattern on it, which is the image of 'wind'.

In the coat of arms, the spiral green lines, the messy interlaced lines and some parallel curves like upper left and lower right all represent the imagery related to 'wind'.

Just using lines as the basis for judging is not accurate, and it is not easy to judge. Generally, the coat of arms will have animal totem graphics, such as eagles, falcons, canaries, nightingales and other bird and animal images, as well as griffins. , hawks, and other fantasy creatures.

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

The purple-red giant trees surrounded by arrows piercing through the giant trees, the three eagles flying around the giant trees and the crown made of messy lines.

Purple and purple often symbolize monarchy, and arrows that run through things, such as bones or shields, symbolize death. Images such as eagles are more common, with 'responsibility', 'sensitivity', 'decisiveness', ' Quickly', 'tactful' and other meanings of decisiveness.

The crown made of messy lines is naturally a symbol of monarchy, representing the status of the ruler of the Sturmonk family, and those messy lines that represent gale, many researchers believe that there are derivatives such as 'storm' and 'chaos'. mean.

Basically, many families will try their best to promote the glorious history of the family on the coat of arms. The coat of arms of the Sturmonk family also shows that they have won the royal status from the original ruler

The old gentleman talked eloquently, using Stumonk, the well-known coat of arms of the royal family of Cartesia, as an example to illustrate——

The coat of arms of the Felek family also has three parts—

The spiral green line represents the gale, which represents the storm, and the one in 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 image patterns used by different families are roughly similar, but there are also differences.

Snakes in heraldic patterns often represent 'knowledge'.

Knowledge?

Mr. Gowers, 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.

Facing the actions of this Mr. Gowers who couldn't wait to show his common sense, the old gentleman just glanced at him slightly:

I don't know why. If you object to this explanation, you can publish your paper in some influential research journals or colleges, and those scholars who study history will be very willing to communicate with you.

The old gentleman's neutral refutation made Mr. Gowers feel a little embarrassed. At this time, Mrs. Mary came out to smooth things over for her husband:

Mr. Green, are you saying that the Fellerke family is a family that prides itself on erudition and knowledge?

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

Ah? With this response, everyone, including Berdy and Lauris, couldn't help being 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 imagery of the patterns depicted on the coat of arms, and only they will pay attention to the imagery.

The history of the coat of arms is too long. Perhaps in the beginning, only the nobles could use these coats of arms. However, the history that can be known now is that the 'knight' class, which is not strictly considered noble, has used the coat of arms. .”

Although there are studies that say that the coat of arms comes from military nobles, in the history of today's data, the coat of arms was first worn by knights in full armor on the battlefield in order to show their identity and not be accidentally injured.

After a certain period of time, besides nobles, all kinds of civilians, whether merchants, travelers, wineries, or various groups, can use the coat of arms.

Nobles and those with certain knowledge know what the patterns, lines and colors of the coat of arms represent, and they will regulate them when using them, but it is obvious that various people and groups other than these people do not strictly abide by them.

So, many times later, the patterns on the coat of arms may not necessarily correspond to the corresponding symbolic interpretations.

Afterwards, this situation also negatively affected those nobles, and there were many irregularities in the imagery of their coat of arms.

The old gentleman moved his finger away from the gale coat of arms while feeling emotional:

Including 'greetings', this kind of greetings from the ancient nobles, which seem to come from some complicated rituals, even appear in some commercial arenas, those fake knights who imitate knight duels will make up one for themselves, which sounds at least not bad 'greeting', oh, they call it 'title'.

What a heroic bear hunter, the wind eagle of the east.

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

In fact, many of the coats of arms on these books cannot be traced.

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

The clumsy imitation of imitators has made things that could have been used as signs no longer signs, and things that could have been accurately compared to history have also lost their accuracy.

Just like the term jazz was originally a general term for nobles, and later there were more quasi-nobles. In the end, as long as you have some money and some social status, you are jazz.

And the reason for the imitator to imitate, maybe 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 is, the coat of arms is gradually confused. And popularization, loss of accuracy has become a fact.

The history told by the old gentleman made Burdy feel a lot of emotion.

At this time, Lauris suddenly said:

Sir Greene

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

She, who has been paying attention to Bodie's movements, also discovered the ring because of Body's sight.

Your ring is also a heraldic ornament, right?

She blinked, with curiosity in her eyes.

My ring?

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

I'm also not sure about its history.
