Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 293: Noble Registration

"What does this imperial coat of arms do?" On the carriage going to the coat of arms, Lawrence, who was idle, asked the royal attendant sitting opposite. As the name suggests, Lawrence felt that the Heraldry House should be a place similar to an archives, used to record the heraldry of various nobles, flags and inquiries about family genealogy.

But considering that when he visited the Forbidden City in his previous life, he heard a lot of improperly named imperial institutions from the tour guide, so Lawrence had an extra image of the servant in front of him and asked directly about the role of the coat of arms.

Sure enough, his worry was not unreasonable. Under the explanation of the royal attendant, Lawrence discovered that the Heraldry House had other functions besides those he thought. For example, the registration of the nobles, the examination of the nobles' qualifications for obtaining the title or inheriting the title. Assist the royal family in holding the canonization ceremony, and provide the emperor with a series of functions such as consulting the contents of the noble canonization.

According to the attendant, in the past, the Heraldry House was more powerful. It can even rule on disputes between nobles and deal with nobles who violate the law. But later with the emperor's reforms, these ruling powers were transferred to a special court of nobility. The Heraldry Academy has resumed its main duties in the past.

Of course, the Heraldry Academy is an institution dedicated to the nobles. So it's no surprise that Lawrence didn't know anything about this kind of organization before. After all, for ordinary people, they don't need to deal with the coat of arms in their entire lives.

The carriage stopped in front of a small garden, and then Lawrence, accompanied by the royal attendant, came to the shiny bronze gate of a three-story golden and white building in the garden.

After seeing someone walking up the white marble steps, a guard standing in front of the door in a blue dress with gold trim stretched out his hand to beck them to stop. However, after the royal attendant took out a lacquered scroll, he checked it carefully and bowed to Lawrence, then turned and knocked on the door behind him three times.

As soon as the knock on the door fell, the two doors opened inward. Then Lawrence walked into the glorious hall under the guidance of the royal attendant. But just walking in the middle of the hall, a staff member in the same blue uniform with gold trim came forward. Stopped them.

"Hello!" The staff member bowed to Lawrence first, then stood up and looked at him and asked. "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

"This Mr. Auguste is here to go through the formalities for the assault." The royal attendant said again and showed the parchment scroll just now. The staff immediately sent Lawrence to the second floor after seeing it.

"The first floor is for the nobles who cannot be hereditary, as well as the incompetent or inferior nobles like knights." Seeing Lawrence staring at the staff sitting on the table on the first floor, this one was in front. The staff leading the way explained intimately, "Aristocrats like you should handle these things on the second floor."

Sure enough, the first floor of the second floor is completely different. The first floor is just a few small compartments separated by wooden boards. Although the conditions are good, it is still a lot simpler than the tea room on the second floor, which is covered with luxurious wallpaper and top-notch imported carpets on the ground.

After sitting down and offering drinks and snacks, another staff member came in with various documents. He saluted Lawrence first, and then sat opposite him to go through Lawrence's formalities.

After checking the documents carried by the Royal Attendant and those that Mr. Lambert mailed from Sauer, his first question made Lawrence fall into a daze. "Sir, where's your coat of arms?"

"Coat of arms? Isn't it?" Lawrence pointed to a piece of parchment in the pile of documents that looked old, with a blue and white coat of arms painted on it, similar to the color of the car logo in the past. It's just that the four colors are all painted with silver patterns.

Among them, the castle represents the history of the fief and nobility, the sword represents the merits of war, the Luanweihua represents the marriage of the family with a certain royal member of the Frans Empire, and the last unicorn points out that the family has the recognized royal blood.

"This is the coat of arms of your family, sir." The staff member smiled. "You also need a private coat of arms for various occasions. This is a hard and fast rule. For example, you will need this for your canonization ceremony after three days."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you didn't prepare." Maybe because the royal attendant personally accompanied him, this staff member also seemed very kind. "We have professional designers here, and if necessary, they can help you quickly design a coat of arms that suits your identity."

"I don't need this. Please give me paper, pens and paint. I will be able to draw one soon." Lawrence asked the clerk opposite, and then summoned the book charm.

"If it helps, I think there should be no problem." The staff here are quite knowledgeable, so he quickly recognized the book charm and delivered the things Lawrence needed. After everything was prepared, Shumei only took five minutes to draw Lawrence's private coat of arms.

This is not how much Lawrence has design talent, but as a raider he can only design on the family coat of arms, and does not need to start anew. Therefore, he just added a red coat of arms to the center of the coat of arms of the family coat of arms, and then drew a blue and white on top of the white and white image of Baize with a scroll state and white picture suspended above his head.

"How about this?" After the paint dried, Lawrence handed the parchment with his coat of arms to the staff and asked. After all, there are many rules in the design of this kind of coat of arms. He is not fully aware of them, so he is worried about where this kind of coat of arms does not meet the requirements.

"That's okay." After taking a closer look at the heraldic pattern, the clerk nodded to express his approval of the pattern drawn by Lawrence. In his eyes, it is normal for Lawrence as an extraordinary person to add a source of extraordinary power to his private coat of arms. As a scholar, adding a scroll pattern to his personal article is completely in line with the rules of heraldry. .

Except for this matter, everything else went smoothly. After watching this staff member fill out the form with very beautiful squiggles, the registration work is completely over.

Then the royal attendant returned to the palace to report to his work~lightnovelpub.net~ and Lawrence and the staff went up to the third floor to deal with the next things.

"The third floor is where we train the nobles who are about to hold the canonization ceremony." The staff explained to Lawrence while leading the way. "Especially for people like you who have never received similar training before, we must ensure that you, sir, will not have any problems during the canonization ceremony."

"Understood, I really trouble you." Lawrence laughed. After all, he himself had only learned a part of the etiquette for making up numbers from Syfel before, and he really needs to learn this aspect systematically.

After all, unlike the nobles who have been learning these things since childhood, Lawrence has always been an ordinary person, so he really doesn't understand these things. You know, those nobles have all learned these things since childhood, so they can naturally adopt the most appropriate response methods in various situations.

Few of the nobles in this world are complete rice buckets, most of them are well educated and have mastered many skills. After all, as a class of human leaders for a long time, being able to win a place for mankind in this world where mankind does not have all-round superiority always has their commendable side.
