The canonization ceremony ended in less than an hour, and the five who had completed the canonization of the new knights were taken back to the official room in the lord's hall by Tinets' heraldic herald.

The heraldic officer took out a thick parchment book from the wooden shelf in the office and put it on the wooden table, took out some blank pieces of parchment from the wooden table, took up the quill stained with black ink, and said to the men standing in the office: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can name your requirements for the knight's coat of arms and the swallow-tailed banner, and the craftsmen of the city will design the knight's coat of arms according to your requirements, and make the heraldic ring, the seal, and the swallowtail banner with the heraldic pattern, but you will have to pay two hundred pfenniels for these three thingsAfter all, our craftsmen need to eat. In addition, if you have special requirements for materials, you will have to pay a certain amount of material costs......"

After listening to the introduction of the heraldic officer, several people stood in place and thought for a while.

The son of a wealthy merchant walked up to the heraldic officer's wooden table and sat down, took out five large silver marks from his money bag and threw them in front of the heraldic officer.

The heraldic officer picked them up one by one, and said with a smile: "Young Master Dean, congratulations on your promotion to knight, a generous nobleman like you deserves a noble and special coat of arms. So, what kind of schema do you want? ”

The son of a wealthy merchant named Dean replied with a smile: "I would like a unique coat of arms, but my father has already said that my knight's coat of arms must be in the heraldic pattern of his merchant house, so you should make a heraldic ring and a seal and a swallowtail according to the coat of arms of my firm." But my heraldic ring and seal should be gilded, the tuxedo fabric should be made of fine raw silk, and the edge of the flag should be rusted with golden silk thread......"

The heraldic officer rummaged through the parchment for a while, found the coat of arms of Dean's family firm, and then took a pen and wrote down Dean's request on a blank parchment.

"Okay, Young Master Dean, your ring seal and flag will be delivered to your mansion within three days, please wait."

"Okay, thanks"

Dean stood up, bowed slightly to the remaining people in the room, and said, "Brothers, I have to go first, see you at dinner."

Then the other three new midshipmen stepped forward to tell the heraldic officer their requirements for the heraldic ring and the seal, and they were either the sons of wealthy merchants or the second sons of minor nobles, and they all used their own family coats of arms or made minor changes to the family coat of arms as their own.

Art was the last to go up.

He took out a large silver mark and five small silver shillings from his bosom and handed them to the heraldic officer, saying, "The rest of the pfennig is your wine money." ”

The heraldic officer had already made enough money today, and he didn't care about the copper coins of Art, so he took the coins with a chuckle, and put them directly into the iron box on the table without even looking at them.

"Sir Art, what kind of knight's coat of arms do you want?" The heraldic officer yawned and picked up a quill and asked.

(In response to the majority of book friends, the blood-eyed howling wolf heraldic flag here is too middle two, temporarily deleted, and then added if you think about it.) ）

"Do you have any other special requirements for rings, stamps, and flags?" The heraldic officer asked, putting away Art's parchment blueprint.

"Nope."

"Alright, please come here at noon in three days to pick up your heraldic ring and signet flag."

………………

In the evening, a grand banquet was being held in the town hall of Tignac.

After a simple canonization ceremony during the day, the newly promoted five trainee knights jointly held this dinner, and Arte, as one of the new trainee knights, also paid two hundred pfennigs for this dinner, which was not too high, because the young master Dean, the son of the newly promoted wealthy merchant, contributed one thousand pfennigs to hold a banquet, and on this occasion Art of course would not compare, he only took out the minimum standard stipulated by the banquet organizer, because he wanted to use the money for the next huge war expenses.

While Dean and the nobles in Tinets County exchanged glasses, Art was feasting in the corner of the hall with Ron and several other subordinates, and the two hundred pfennies bought enough food for all the soldiers of the patrol team to eat for a week.

Jason ate a large piece of roasted bacon on his plate, drank another large bowl of broth, wiped his mouth stained with soup, and said, "My lord, should we also go over there and clink glasses with those noble lords?" ”

Ron tossed the honeyed bread onto the plate, glanced at Jason, and said hatefully, "What are you going to do?" Do you know a few nobles or do you know any nobles who know you? You can eat quietly, you can't eat this kind of food tonight in your poor man's life. ”

Seeing that Jason and the two sentinels were eating and no longer talking, Ron asked Arte softly: "Master, you see that Young Master Dean is too good at being in the limelight, and he can't wait for the entire banquet to revolve around him alone." I saw the thirty soldiers he recruited yesterday, and except for a few guys who looked like caravan guards, the rest of the soldiers must have been forcibly recruited serfs and vagabonds. ”

"Ron, if it weren't for this Young Master Dean, we would have to pay a few hundred more pfennigs for this banquet, and the extra money should be the focus of this banquet."

Ron had to shut up, too.

Towards the end of the feast, out of basic etiquette, Art found Dean and the other three midshipmen to toast them one by one, after all, they were "brothers" who had sworn allegiance together.

Several other people have also heard about Art and his patrol team in the past few days, and their contempt for Art at the beginning has slowly disappeared because of Art's achievements in the past year or so, and the other people have not experienced the battle formation, and they are also very apprehensive about the upcoming battle, so they have some admiration for Art who has already fought in the battle, but the guy named Dean has always sneered at Art.

Seeing that several people were gathered together, Viscount Pierre also came to a few people with wine glasses, and of course several people were very grateful to the Viscount who had canonized them, and raised their glasses.

Pierre replied to a few people one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the clerks of your five new cadet knights have departed for Besançon this afternoon, and according to the previous orders of the court, you still have more than a month to prepare, and before the first Sunday of July, you must assemble here in full armor on horses and with a full number of armed soldiers, and then I will personally take you and your soldiers to Besançon for training. Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood!" The crowd replied in unison.

"Well, sir, enjoy this dinner to the fullest, for such feasts are not common in troubled times." Viscount Pierre drank the wine from his glass and left the banquet hall with a slightly drunken step, accompanied by a plump lady-in-waiting......

Art rejected the invitation of a noble lady with a strong smell of perfume to "chat alone", and prepared to leave the banquet with a few subordinates who were well fed and drunk.

"Red, let's go! Also TM look, be careful to fall into the deep groove in the chest of those women and not be able to climb out. Ron dragged Red, who was staring at the lady in the darkness of the hall, out of the way.

Red is already twenty years old, but he has never tasted a woman, let alone a ** lady who is dressed in a bewitching appearance, "Chief Ron, I'll look at it for a while, just for a while." ”

After hearing this, Art stopped, turned to Ron and said, "Ron, you don't have to go back to the inn in the evening, come to the inn for lunch tomorrow." ”

Art knew that the soldiers had accumulated a lot of money on weekdays, and that there were no tavern shops in the valley for the soldiers to enjoy, so Art allowed the soldiers of the Border Patrol to have fun when it was absolutely safe.

Ron let go of Red and said to Art, "Master, just let Red and them go, you can't have no one by your side." ”

Art smiled and nodded.

Ron turned around and told the three of them about Art's plan, telling them not to cause trouble in Tignats.

Nothing to say all night......

Three days later, Art arrived at the heraldic officer's office in the hall of lords.

The heraldic officer took out a crude wooden box from the drawer of the wooden table and handed it to Art, "Sir Art, this contains your heraldic ring, seal and swallow-tailed banner, as well as an identity document issued to you by the county of Tinets, please take a look." ”

Art took the wooden box and opened it, and placed the ring and seal on top of a neatly folded linen swallow-tailed flag, he picked up the bronze ring and seal and looked at it, and a blood-eyed howling wolf was engraved on the ring and seal; He took out the swallowtail flag and unfolded it, and the black-background blood-eyed howling wolf coat of arms was printed on the flag; The identity document was transcribed in cowhide with the signature and seal of the Viscount of Pierre.

The heraldic officer opened the thick parchment on the wooden table and said to Art, "Sir Sir, if you feel that this coat of arms meets your requirements, please affix your seal to this heraldic book, and your coat of arms will be officially effective." ”

Art looked at the parchment book in front of the heraldic officer, and the page that he opened described Arte's knightly coat of arms, and wrote the name, title, family motto, and title of the heraldic user in Juan Latin script at the bottom.

Art took the iron spoon containing the melted fire paint handed over by the heraldic officer, gently dripped it on the parchment, pressed the seal in his hand, and a blood-eyed wolf heraldic seal was sealed.

The heraldic officer dried the fire paint on the parchment and closed the heraldic book, and said to Art: "May God be with you, Sir Art, and I wish you good success on the battlefield and cut off the swallowtail from the heraldic flag as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, God is with you." Art put away the wooden box and turned out of the heraldic officer's office......

"Ron, inform your sentinel, we'll leave Tignets in a moment and return ......"

A group of five horsemen with the heraldic banner of Arte sent a message out of Tinetz and galloped all the way to the south......
