Chapter 2 The Mage

"Is this really a mage?"

"You know, I'm just a brewer, how do I know if he is... If Mr. Benson is right, he must be a mage."

"Mr. Benson shouldn't be wrong... But he is so scary, even a beggar on the street is not so ugly..."

"Yeah, 3 loaves of white bread, 10 coconut rings, 6 granulated sugar, 12 almond cakes... I just prepared some according to the custom of hospitality, but I didn't expect him to eat them all! I ate as much as I wanted, These are snacks, not dinner... I've never seen anyone who can eat so much, even Bazel, the strongest boy in the tavern, can't eat as much as he does."

"And what are those things on him? Yellow, red lumps."

"If I'm not mistaken...it should be dried urine and a woman's menstrual blood."

"How can a mage have these things!"

"Maybe he passed through a slum...Maybe this is a mage from another place, and I don't know which places in Cardenas you can't go to."

"Poor foreign mage..."

"Maybe it's a trend among mages. You know, the lives of these nobles are always different from people like us. Maybe it's popular for them to paint these things on their bodies. Is this a fashion in the upper class?"

"Strange high society... you are here, but if you sit next to him, will he think we are very rude?"

"That makes sense...then I'll go."

……

With a creak, the door opened and the man walked in.

This is not a spacious living room. After placing a table and four chairs, there is only half of the space left. However, having a living room in Cardenas already shows that this family is doing well. , It is far from comparable to those shabby households in the slums - the people there often have kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms connected together, and they cannot be distinguished separately.

The walls around the living room are all made of wood, which has been peeled flat. The wood grains are glued together and look very delicate. The floor is flat gray-black slate. The tables and chairs in the living room are all made of white birch , the wood is delicate and tough, and it is easy to paint. Like this set of tables and chairs in this living room, it is painted red and green, very bright.

These are the most popular and cost-effective room layouts in Cardenas in recent years. For people like Norman who escaped from a small country place where there is not enough to eat, it is absolutely enviable under normal circumstances. I can't stop, I can't turn my eyes, but at this moment Norman doesn't even look at it, and his thoughts are all attracted by the food in his hand.

"wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

In just three big mouthfuls, Norman swallowed the small cake in his hand, and then hiccupped with a "hiccup".

There were two small white and tender cakes on the table. Norman wanted to reach out to get them, but when he saw the man came out, he went to sit next to him and looked at him with a smile. After all, he felt a little embarrassed. In the end, he still didn't stretch out his hand, and just as he raised it, he turned a corner and landed on his stomach.

His belly was visibly bulging—could it not?This meal was considered to have eaten all the food he had been hungry for for three days. If he didn't hold it to death, he had a big stomach.

"Mr. Mage..."

While saying hello, the man secretly glanced at the mess on the table. Thinking of the ones that had been taken away, he couldn't help trembling and feeling a little painful.

In order to greet this mage well and be worthy of his honorable status, the food he prepared just now is the best food in the house, and there are some exquisite snacks that he temporarily asked his wife to run to the old Todd at the end of the street It's expensive there.After a rough calculation, this Mr. Mage ate at least 3 Silver Gnars!

Good Lord, 3 Silver Gnars, that's almost a normal month's food expenses for their family...

But when he thought about his daughter's future, the man hardened his heart.

3 Silver Gnars are nothing, as long as the daughter can become a mage...

"I'm very sorry, I haven't had a chance to introduce myself just now. My name is Colin Ducourt, may I know your name?"

"Norman,"

Norman spat out his name, looked at the middle-aged man named Colin in front of him, paused, and added, "Norman? Octavian."

Fortunately, Colin didn't know his details. If the villagers in Ashley Village were sitting opposite Norman, they would probably have jumped up at this moment: "Damn it, when did little Norman have a surname?" !In the entire Ashley Village, only Lord Barton's family has a surname, and Lord Barton's surname is Octavian.

Norman borrowed Master Patton's surname. After all, he is now a "Mr. Mage". As a "Mr. Mage" who seems to have a lot of status, how could he not have a surname?

"Mr. Norman,"

Knowing Norman's name, Colin continued: "How much do you think the tuition fee is suitable? How about 50 silvers per month?"

He couldn't wait to settle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if this strange Mr. Mage ate any more... According to the appearance of this Mr. Mage who hasn't eaten for three days, the money that needs to be spent on food is only It hurts to think about it, these are completely avoidable.

"belch!?……"

After Norman heard this number, his eyes widened and he was very surprised. Because he was too surprised and excited, he couldn't hold back for a moment and even hiccupped loudly.

50 silver nars? !

This is enough to buy a healthy adult cattle in their village!And a farm ox is the biggest property of a family.

You can get so much money for a month's work, it's great to be a mage!No matter how hard the work of a magician is, Norman thinks it is worth it.

If things go on like this, maybe he can take root in the city without going to Aunt Emma's house, and even buy his own house, and become a real urbanite who eats bread every day and can't eat wild vegetables. People here!
Thinking of this, Norman trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

Colin didn't know that Norman was thinking so many things in his head. Seeing Norman's expression, he thought he was very dissatisfied with the price, so he hurriedly said, "55, how about 55 silver Gnars?!"

In his heart, he had a little more trust in Norman's identity.

Although this Norman mage looks a bit ugly, he is obviously a mage, so he is not satisfied even with a huge salary of 50 silver gnars a month.

It went up again?
Norman didn't expect him to hiccup, and Colin promised to give him 5 more silvers, which made him want to hiccup again.But looking at Colin's nervous look on the opposite side, these 55 silver Gnars should not be a small amount of money to him, and the possibility of going up further should not be great, and he just ate so many exquisite dishes from the other party. food……

"Ok."

Norman agreed, "Just fifty-five silver gnars."

Although I don't know what Colin wants his "mage" to do, but for the sake of 55 silver Gnars, let him do whatever!Even killing... is not unthinkable.

Norman's eyes were firm.

When people are really driven to a desperate situation, all ethics and morality can be left behind, not to mention that the illiterate Norman has no morals at all. When he was in the village, he dared to fight people for a cow. ruthless role.
