Chapter 0002 Middle Name
Aldington, who was about to go out, suddenly swelled up with anger in his heart, this is the anger that belongs to the original owner, because the probationary knight who said strange things has always been at odds with the original owner.
"Cliff!"
Aldington turned his head and gritted his teeth and called out the other party's name, but he didn't continue to speak harshly, the anger belonging to the original owner had been quickly suppressed by him, and he showed a meaningful smile at Cliff.
Then he did not hesitate and left the castle directly.
Cliff, who was left in the dining room, and the other knights and squires, were confused, wondering why Aldington was laughing.
According to the usual routine, although it will not be a fight, it is essential to scold each other and speak harshly.
The Iris family in Aldington is the Baron of the Empire, and the Spear of the Spiked Spear family of Cliff is also the Baron of the Empire, so it is normal for young people to compete with each other. Cliff was promoted to Cadet Knight at the age of fifteen, and had reason to look down on Aldington, who was promoted at the age of sixteen, and was especially jealous of Aldington's middle name.
Aldington Lun Iris.
The Naming Form of the Rafah Continent, where the first name and the last name are separated.
The name is chosen casually, but it will be the same as the name of the rest of the family in a certain "letter", usually the first letter. For example, Durotan and Dulick, father and son, both have the initials "D", and Dulick also has a younger brother Dunster, who also has the initials "D".
Surnames, on the other hand, belong to the nobility and are usually named after fiefdoms, weapons, flowers, and other beautiful things. The Rock family name is derived from the Limestone Mountains of the Territory, Aldington's surname Iris is a flower, and Cliff's surname Spike Spear is a weapon, all chosen by their ancestors when they became nobles.
In addition, the continent of Rafa also has a very rare middle name, which represents the bloodline inheritance.
This is a magical magical world, with magic and fighting spirit, human knights have been cultivated, and the bloodline of phantom beasts is blended, and in the end, the strong will leave a strong bloodline. If one of the descendants awakens the bloodline, they will get a middle name that represents the bloodline, and if they fail to awaken for three generations, the middle name must be deleted.
Aldington's great-grandfather awakened his bloodline and got the middle name "Lun".
Lun, derived from a former dragon knight Lungat Thunderstorm Running Wolf. The life of this dragon knight is no longer available, but his bloodline contains the "power of thunder", which will greatly increase the impact and speed of the fighting qi after fusing with the fighting qi, and also carry a trace of thunder.
Aldington's great-grandfather, relying on the power of thunder, followed the king of the Plantagenet dynasty to fight in the north and south, and finally rose from an ordinary imperial knight to a supreme imperial baron.
But.
After that, Aldington's grandfather did not awaken the bloodline, and Aldington's father, Orenor Lun Iris, even if he cultivated into a phantom beast knight, he was not able to awaken the bloodline.
If Aldington can't awaken the bloodline, he belongs to the third generation of unawakened, and when he has a son, he can't add the middle name of Lun to his name.
In fact, there is not much substantive interest in whether there is a middle name or not.
But the middle name represents the dignity of the ancestors, and such a nobleman is the real nobleman in the eyes of the public - the blood noble. No matter how powerful other aristocratic families are, they are just nouveau riche. Therefore, Aldington was promoted to a midshipman, and even Duron Tambomber personally congratulated him and presented him with a swallow-tailed flag.
This also became one of the reasons why Cliff was jealous of him and targeted him, and when Cliff was promoted, Durontan Bomber did not even say a word of congratulations.
Count Bang, the full title of the title is "Count of the Feudal State".
The name of the Bang is the earl, but the title is actually at the level of the marquis, and the territory is called the countdom, which is a semi-independent state rather than a fief. And the real earl title only has a fief, there will be no state, and no matter how highly autonomous the fief is, it is also fundamentally different from the state.
Moreover, Bonber can be canonized as a Count within his own realm - only a few Bonber will be canonized, and most of them are baronials.
Male, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male.
Strictly speaking, in the various empires and kingdoms of the Rafah continent, there are only two types of true titles - earls and barons. Dukes and marquis are semi-independent states, and viscount is a temporary title of nobility canonized by the heirs of marquis and earls before their father died.
Knights also belong to the nobility, but knights cannot be hereditary, and knights are more of a recognition of strength.
"If you want to awaken the power of thunder, it feels a little difficult...... In the memory of the original owner, he had heard that his great-grandfather had visions when he was young, and electric sparks appeared from his body from time to time, which led to the later awakening of the bloodline. My grandfather and father, and myself, didn't have the slightest spark. ”
Aldington, who walked out of the castle, thought in a trance.
His soul is no longer a young man, so naturally there is no need to worry about Cliff, on the contrary, he cares about his future future.
and the apprehension of facing the biological father of this body.
"Young Master!" The long-awaited captain of the guard, One-Eyed Parker, greeted with an urn in a loud voice, this is a strong man who looks like an iron tower.
He is wearing a pair of fine chain mail, with a shield and a sword, and he is mighty and domineering.
"Young Master!" Behind One-Eyed Parker, three young men in leather armor bowed together, all of whom were Aldington's guards.
However, the Captain of the Guard, One-Eyed Parker, is an elite warrior, and the three of them are just ordinary warriors.
Warriors do not practice fighting qi and have their own ways of cultivation, but these four guards, also known as the knights of the servants, are the servants of Aldington. When they wait for Aldington to go to battle, they will also accompany them, providing Aldington with all services, guarding, unarmouring, carrying guns, feeding horses, laundry, cooking, etc.
"Where you come, you ...... safe"
Aldington put aside a trace of nostalgia for his previous life and patted the horse "Red Bean", which was a little resistant to him.
This is a ten-year-old maroon stallion with the blood of a demonic beast, which was given to him by his father when he went to the Grey Iron Castle as a squire and began his knightly cultivation, and he lived with him in the Grey Iron Castle for seven years.
It was about the sensitivity of the animal, and the red bean felt that Aldington was a little strange, but after being touched by Aldington's familiar horseman, it quieted down.
Turning over to get on the horse, Aldington said indifferently: "Parker, let's go, let's go home!" ”
"Yes, young master!" One-Eyed Parker mounted his horse.
Three other warriors also mounted their horses, one of whom was carrying a swallowtail flag belonging to Aldington. A group of five horsemen, like a meteor, roared and galloped towards the gate of the outer fort.
……
"Aldington, say hello to Baron Momiji on my behalf." Viscount Duric rode the tall Thorn Beast and performed a chivalric salute with Aldington on the back of the beast.
"Thank you for your teaching, sir, and I will bring your greetings to my father."
"Go, young man, enjoy this vacation, and when you return to the Grey Iron Castle, the battle will be all the time. Limestone mountains and golden Danube plains await our horses' hooves. ”
Aldington stroked his left chest with his right hand and replied, "Always ready!" ”
With that, the knight's boots smacked the horse's belly, and the red beans neighed, and they ran quickly. The flag of red maple leaves on a black background in Phnom Penh was fierce and windy, and disappeared into the dust in a flash.
