Chapter 129 The New Crest of the Family

This spring, the rain continued continuously. It rained for four or five days, and just after seeing the sun for a day, it rained again in the thick clouds. It seemed that it could not stop for two or three days.

On the fifth day after Richard Nall left, a team disembarked at the pier and entered the city of Wessenburg with brightly colored flags.
When they walked to the square, the flag was drooping wet on the flagpole, the leader's magician's robe was covered with water, the knights behind could only endure the cold rain seeping into their armor, and the horses snorted from time to time, and they were not at all. When the king was in high spirits.

Frederick, dressed in traditional clothes, stood quietly under the gate of the castle, watching the procession slowly move over like a turtle crawling.

Behind him, all the civil and military officials gathered, and the expressions on their faces were either indifferent, angry, or gloomy.

Especially Judge Otto and Police Officer Dominique, who looked like they were gnashing their teeth and their eyes were burning.

The decree team from the royal capital finally moved to the front of the castle. Heinrich, the deputy head of the leading royal mage group, got off his horse, took a golden post from the servant, and walked in front of Frederick.

"Alas..." He took a breath, covered his face with one hand, handed the letter box to Frederick with the other, and said, "You can read it yourself, I'm too embarrassed to read it."

Behind him, the knights were studying the dark clouds in the sky or the surrounding flowers and plants, not daring to look directly at Wesson and the others.

Frederick took the letterbox quietly, and said calmly: "Your Excellency and everyone have worked hard, please go to the castle to change and rest, and invite you to attend the banquet later."

"Oh..." Heinrich sighed again, "Then I'll bother you."

Afu immediately stepped forward and asked Heinrich and the knights to enter the castle to take a bath and change clothes.

Frederick looked at the coat of arms on the letter box in his hand, it belonged to the Academy of Arms.

The Heraldry is the institution under the king to manage the vassals. The king's decrees on the canonization of nobles, rewards and punishments, etc. are issued from there. The last time Frederick received the decree from the king through them was that the Wesson family was cut from earl to baron.

The content of this decree had been transmitted through other channels the day before yesterday. Frederick opened it and took a look. The content was exactly the same as the information, and then passed it to everyone behind him.

Everyone was extremely indignant after seeing the king's latest decree, and couldn't help cursing.

Frederick just sneered and didn't say much.

King William first talked about the matter of Frederick's father. The original fine of 5000 florins was changed to 8000 florins, and Heinrich asked to bring half of it back.

Next came the highlight. William announced that Frederick would kill the nobles without permission, and announced that the original coat of arms of the Wesson family would be deprived. The new coat of arms could only use two colors, and the patterns could not use things seen in the world.

The first item is to steal money, and the second item is to slap your face.

The coat of arms of a family represents the facade of the family, and it shows the identity, honor and territorial characteristics of the family. The longer the history and the higher the status of the family, the more complicated and gorgeous their coat of arms is.

Now that the king has deprived the original coat of arms of the Wesson family, and restricted the color and content of the new coat of arms, it is short of saying that the status of a baron is deprived and demoted to a knight.

"Master!" Otto looked at Frederick, his hands holding the parchment trembled a little, and his eyes were a little red.

The reason why the Wesson family was deprived of their coat of arms was that in Chaiper's case last year, Frederick directly executed Chaiper, a nobleman, in the same way as a civilian.

Although there are a lot of black box operations in this case, the whole process can be said to be flawless on the bright side, and the defenses of the lawyers on both sides are impeccable.

Otto has always been proud of this case, and specially organized a book to tell the whole story of the case and analyze the defenses one by one.

Now the things that he is proud of have become the basis for attacking the master, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Frederick saw what he was thinking and asked earnestly, "If this trial could be repeated, would you still uphold the original sentence?"

Otto replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

"I will too." Frederick said, "There is no reason for wolves to eat sheep. Without this reason, they will find other reasons."

"However, the fruits of our labor cannot be taken away with a piece of parchment!"

"What we have to do now is to unite and let those wolves know that we are not lambs to be slaughtered!"

Heinrich did not go to rest, but quietly watched the reactions of Frederick and the crowd behind the gate of the main castle building, and listened to their conversations with audiology.

He didn't hide it from others, Ah Fu stood quietly beside him.

"Ah Fu," Heinrich asked, "How old is your master?"

Ah Fu replied calmly: "As many as your fingers."

Heinrich sighed, looked up at Chun Lei's rolling dark clouds, and said in a low voice: "In a blink of an eye, we are all old."

"Do you still remember that day, we talked about our ideals by the campfire, that was how many years ago."

"It's been many years." Ah Fu replied, "At that time, you were still a virgin who didn't even touch a girl's hand. Now you are the grandfather of two grandchildren."

Heinrich smiled and sighed: "I have achieved nothing for so many years, and now the deputy head is only given for today's matter."

"It's time for young people in the future, and it's time for me to find a place to retire."

A Fu said: "We have said long ago that you are not suitable for the royal mage group who are intriguing, but are more suitable for studying knowledge like Diesel."

"You can come to the master's university to teach. With your knowledge, you may be able to decide how much bonus to give to Diesel in a few years."

"That's right, Diesel is here too!" Heinrich narrowed his eyes slightly, "Back then we hadn't even avenged our revenge by cooking the leather shoe belts for three days when the food was blown up."

He changed the subject and asked, "Can Baron Wesson win this battle?"

Ah Fu sneered, and replied confidently: "If all of you royal mages come here, you can lose better."

"Go and have a rest, do you think you are old enough to walk in the rain for three days and three nights?"

Heinrich turned around and followed Ah Fu to the bathroom, and said helplessly, "We are different from Your Majesty, we still need face."

That night, Frederick hosted a banquet in honor of Heinrich and his party.

The dining room of the castle was brightly lit, and the original Wesson family coat of arms flag on the wall behind the main seat was taken down, and replaced with a new coat of arms flag that was urgently produced the day before yesterday.

Frederick was quite open about changing the family coat of arms, so let's change it. The coat of arms carries the family history, and the new history of the Wesson family has to be created by himself.

Even if the new coat of arms has only two colors and a simple pattern, as long as the Wesson family is strong, everyone will think it is heroic and extraordinary.

"This is the new coat of arms of the Wesson family." Frederick pointed to the coat of arms flag and said to Heinrich and the others, "It meets the king's requirements."

Heinrich and the others saw the corners of their mouths twitching. At first they thought that Baron Wesson would be furious, cry, and be at a loss, but they didn't expect him to slap the king legally and reasonably.

The original coat of arms of the Wesson family had three patterns: a white castle, a blue river, and an eagle representing the royal inheritance of the Second Puran Empire.

The current new coat of arms still has a red background, and the main body is a golden eagle representing the royal inheritance. The wings of this eagle are composed of eight radial thick lines of different lengths on the left and right, and four lines on the chest. There are twelve feathers in three rows, with three tail feathers and five claws at the bottom. In order to better meet the standard of "patterns cannot use things seen in the world", this eagle has two heads that look left and right respectively. , with two feathers on each crest behind the head.

Everyone didn't know what each part of the new coat of arms represented. They only knew that the eagle in the coat of arms of the Rhine Union region represented the ancient royal inheritance.

The royal inheritance of the Wesson family was recognized by the previous king. Frederick’s great-grandfather was kicked out of his homeland and went to join the previous king with the cheek. At the beginning, there was an eagle in the family’s coat of arms. Later, the previous king added it, which is also a good match. received the title of Earl.

Therefore, the first Earl Wesson worked very hard when he came to the south to be a nail. After several generations of hard work, Wesson led the development from one town to five cities now.

According to seniority, King William and Frederick are still of the same generation.

Now Frederick uses the eagle alone as the new coat of arms of the Wesson family. From the perspective of everyone, it firmly grasps the recognition and grace of the former king, and also reflects the Wesson family's loyalty to the royal family and what the current king has done. The comparison between what you do and what you do is a great irony.

Heinrich replied: "The new coat of arms fully meets the requirements."

Others also thought the new coat of arms was fine.

After everyone was seated, before the food was served, Frederick said, "I don't have that much money, but I can use other treasures instead."

Ah Fu came over with a gold-plated plate and gently placed it in front of Heinrich.

Heinrich looked at the golden beans in front of him, reached out to pick up one, and found that it was the seed of a plant.

Frederick started talking nonsense with his eyes open: "This is a precious bean bought from Peach Blossom Stone, do you think it can be used to pay off the debt?"

After the skin of the gourd is boiled, the water will turn golden. If it is concentrated, it can be used for dyeing, but it will fade after a long time. Now the two catties of soybeans on the plate have been dyed, and they look golden.

As for whether William wants to grow it or grind pumpkin-flavored soy milk, it’s up to him. If he can’t grow golden beans, he can just insist that it’s their technical problem.

Besides, when the soybeans are ripe, Frederick will either lose a golden light and run away, or swallow the surrounding neighbors' territory and his strength will soar. No one dares to underestimate him.

Heinrich immediately replied: "This is certainly possible, I think His Majesty will be very happy."

His intuition told himself that there was something wrong with it, but he didn't bother to take care of it. He just took the things back and dealt with the errands.

The corner of Frederick's mouth curled up slightly, and he asked the maids to bring up the roasted whole lamb sprinkled with cumin powder, and the restaurant immediately smelled delicious.
