Chapter 46: The Knight's Crest
Mimeographer, a profession that specializes in helping knights print coats of arms on their shields, if you want to engage in this profession, you need to have the ability to draw equivalent to a painter, after all, it is not something that ordinary people can accomplish to express their coats of arms vividly.
It didn't take long for Jace to lead him to a very ordinary red room, the only difference between this room and the room next to it was that there were two small flower beds in front of the door, and some green plants were planted on them.
"Bang bang!" Jace told Ma Shen to wait for a moment, and then he stepped forward and slammed the door hard, the sound was so loud that Ma Shen was a little afraid that the wooden door was going to be smashed: "Is anyone there?
"It's coming, it's coming, don't knock it. A hurried sound came from inside the room, followed by the sound of running.
Hearing the reaction in the house, Jace finally stopped, turned to Ma Shen and smiled: "This mimeographer's name is Suo Jielie, and he can't hear anything once he works, so the knock on the door must be loud." ”
"Don't listen to him. The door opened, and a man came out, with his hair disheveled, gray eyes, black hair, and a black stubble on his face, and a sloppy look, only to see him angrily yelling at Jace, "Did you knock on the door like that! I have smashed the door several times here, and if it breaks again, you will pay double the money!"
"Didn't I bring you a guest?" Jace had a nonchalant expression.
"Hmph!" Sojielie snorted coldly at Jace, no longer entangled with this old fritter, and turned to Ma Shen with a humble smile: "Are you here to print the coat of arms? ”
"Excuse me. Ma Shen replied politely, inexplicably feeling that the people he had met recently were very distinctive.
Completely ignoring the reckless sweat who didn't know how to be polite, Suo Jielie walked towards the house with Ma Shen and asked, "If you want to seal the coat of arms, I don't know what price the guest is going to have?"
Quite business-minded, and there are different prices, Ma Shen asked curiously: "Is there any difference between these different prices?"
"The price is mainly the difference between the pigments, good pigments will make your coat of arms more vivid and impressive, and it is not easy to fade, and it will last like new for several years, the honorable captain of the Royal Guard, the fearless Sir Barristan is also the coat of arms printed by me. Suojielie said.
"In that case, let's choose the best. After Ma Shen finished speaking, Yu Guang found that Jace walking behind him twitched his mouth, it seems that the price of this mimeographer is not cheap, but it is cool to spend other people's money to do your own thing, it is much better than spending future money to do the current thing, Ma Shen thought complacently.
"Great, only the most expensive paints are worthy of your identity. Hearing that Ma Shen had chosen the most expensive pigment, Suo Jielie became more enthusiastic, as if he regarded Ma Shen as a reborn parent, "I don't know, what is your coat of arms?
"It's not yet decided, I was canonized as a knight by the king not long ago. Ma Shen explained.
"It turns out that the Lord is a knight canonized by the king.,But... "But if you don't have a model, the price may be a little more expensive." ”
"No problem. Ma Shen waved his hand boldly, and Jace's mouth twitched behind him again.
Since money is not a problem, then Suo Jielie quickly prepared everything, but when Suo Jielie asked Ma Shen's opinion, there was a problem, because Ma Shen didn't really want to use any bears, black dogs, leaves, flowers, etc., how could his knight coat of arms be these things, there was no momentum at all, in the noble coat of arms of the Westeros continent, Ma Shen felt that the only one with momentum was the coat of arms of the Western Dragon, but this Western Dragon has appeared in the family coats of arms of many families, including the Targaryen family, the Black Fire family, the Tolan family, and the Vance family of Aran City, the Vances of the City of Rest, and the Williams.
In addition, there is also the problem that although knights who do not have a family coat of arms or do not want to use them can create their own coats of arms, personal coats of arms are usually patterns of great significance to knights, so it would be a bit strange to get a Western dragon on it, and you can't say that you have killed a Western dragon.
According to the opinion of the mimeographer Suo Jielie, since Ma Shen had the title of wolf slayer and was canonized by the king for this, he could use the wolf as a knight's coat of arms to declare Ma Shen's extraordinary achievements.
Listening to Suo Jielie's opinion, Ma Shen was also a little hesitant, in fact, Suo Jielie's opinion is quite good, because according to the rules of Westeros, this is the rule, and the wolf's words are much better than any leaves, fathead fish and the like.
It's just that Ma Shen is a little weird in his heart, and he always feels that this is not what he wants.
So in the end, Ma Shen thought about it for a long time, and finally in Suo Jielie's helpless expression, he decided to add some Chinese colors on the knight's coat of arms, and draw an oriental dragon.
The dragon has horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow.
What the hell, after listening to Ma Shen's words, Suo Jielie looked confused, what kind of animal is this?
But after all, the customer is God, even if there is no God in this world, but there is still a god, so Suo Jielie can only draw on the paper according to Ma Shen's request with a tangled face, because he must first make a sketch before he can officially paint on the shield.
It's okay to have horns like a deer, and eyes like rabbits, but the problem is that the belly is like a mirage, what is a mirage, Suo Jielie felt that he couldn't understand it at all, so he could only ask Ma Shen.
Listening to Suo Jielie's question, Ma Shen was also dumbfounded, in fact, Ma Shen himself didn't know what a mirage was, only the general appearance.
After thinking about it, Ma Shen asked Suo Jielie to let go first, and prepared to draw an oriental dragon by himself.
Holding a paintbrush in front of the drawing paper to make a pose, Ma Shen closed his eyes and recalled the appearance of the Oriental Divine Dragon, the dragon he painted must not be like the Qing Dynasty emperor's languid divine dragon, but must have a domineering feeling.
After thinking about it carefully, it felt almost over, Ma Shen's eyes opened, and with a big stroke of the pen, he drew it after a while.
Suo Jielie, who was standing next to him, came over curiously to take a look, and said suspiciously, "This is a snake?"
"This is our dragon there. Ma Shen explained.
"Dragon?" Sojielie still didn't understand when the dragon turned into a snake.
Well, Dongfang Long's painting was a complete failure, and the painting didn't look like a divine dragon at all, and Ma Shen, who had no artistic talent, couldn't make this difficult thing.
Of course, the persevering Ma Shen still did not give up, did not listen to Suo Jielie's request to draw a handsome wolf, but insisted on his own point of view, anyway, for himself, it is not necessary for the Oriental Dragon as his knight coat of arms, since the dragon is not good, then draw a black bird.
According to historical records, the soldiers of Qin State beat their chests as soon as they received the order to fight, and they couldn't wait, wearing thin black armor and black armor, wearing thin black armor and even taking off their armor and shirtless shirtless, regardless of life and death, they held the head in their left hand and held the captives under their right arm, chasing and killing their opponents.
The Qin Emperor swept the Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai.
The flying sword broke through the clouds, and the princes came to the west.
Ma Shen imagined the scene of himself leading a group of black and oppressive troops to charge at the enemy in the future, and the hormones were secreted rapidly, and the heraldic decided to be a black bird.
Xuanniao is a mythical bird in ancient Chinese mythology and legends, that is, the phoenix known to everyone, the mountains and seas through the clouds: the phoenix, the front of the Hong, the back of the scales, the snake neck and the fish tail, the dragon pattern and the turtle body, the swallow jaw and the chicken beak, that is, the chicken head, the snake neck, the swallow jaw, the turtle back, the fish tail, six feet high, is a collection of many animals in one of the divine birds, symbolizing auspiciousness and eternal life.
Ma Shen concentrated and prepared again, and then drew a black crow, well, Ma Shen had given up struggling, he had no talent for painting at all, and what he thought in his heart was completely different from what he painted.
It seems that there is no choice but to use the last method, Ma Shen sighed in his heart, took a piece of drawing paper, and then took a paintbrush and paint, and greeted Suo Jielie: "I'll go to the toilet first." ”
Leaving Jace and Suo Jielie, who looked at each other, Ma Shen walked to the toilet by himself, looked around, and then directly used his energy.
Under the manipulation of energy, the paint moved on the drawing paper, and after a while, a black bird that Ma Shen had in mind appeared on the drawing paper.
This black bird is alive on the drawing paper, eager to try, as if it is about to fly out, as if it has automatically added a 3D effect.
