Chapter 20
Bernie, Baker, and Pino were stunned, and Norman, the person involved, didn't know much better than them, and he didn't know what was going on now.

In his original idea, Franklin came to teach him because he beat his students, but Franklin didn't do anything, just kept talking to him, and the weird thing is that Franklin kept talking to him in ancient Chinese .

To be honest, Norman has been speaking in the common language since he was a child, and he is not used to talking in the ancient language all of a sudden. Especially, at least two of the three sentences Franklin said will be mixed with the ancient language that he has not learned, which makes him even more He didn't understand, so he could only answer what he understood. As for what he didn't understand, he could only make guesses, or just shake his head to show that he didn't understand.Fortunately, Franklin didn't feel annoyed when he saw something he didn't understand. He just passed it by and changed a sentence, so the two of them could barely communicate in the ancient language.

After Bernie and the others arrived at the scene, Franklin ignored them. He just pressed his hands back to signal them not to speak, while he continued to have a conversation with Norman in ancient Chinese.After chatting for a few more words, this strange conversation finally stopped.

Norman saw Franklin standing there motionless, his eyes fixed on him, silent, as if he was thinking about something.

What was he thinking about?Thinking about how to deal with yourself?Probably not, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped those sheriffs from doing it just now.Moreover, what was he talking to himself in the ancient language just now?By the way, although Master Franklin's knowledge of ancient Chinese is much richer than him, his pronunciation is really awkward, similar to those of his students, making it difficult for Norman to listen...

Norman guessed what Franklin was thinking, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so he didn't think about it at all, and turned his eyes to the three boys behind Franklin, and gave them a vicious look, the meaning of the eyes was very clear : Good boy, dare to deal with me?It will be good for you to meet again next time!
The three innocent little brothers were not very smart, and they misunderstood Norman's meaning. Seeing Norman's staring eyes, they thought it was telling them to find a way to help him quickly, so Bernie nodded vigorously and gave Norman A firm look in his eyes reassured him, and he clenched his fist in front of his chest, making a cheering gesture.

Norman's eyes widened all of a sudden: Good guy, it's great to have the backing of a mage?How dare you say in front of his face that you are going to beat him!

So he stared at the three boys even harder...

Norman was flirting with Bernie when Franklin finally spoke.

"I have one last question for you."

The person with the most powerful mysterious power on the scene spoke, and Norman quickly retracted his staring eyes at Bernie and listened carefully.

"Do you have a teacher? Just like Bernie and the others, have a teacher who teaches you the ancient language, do you have one?"

Franklin now spoke the Common Tongue again.

"I……"

Norman wanted to say "yes" at first, and to create a teacher who is a mage for himself, maybe it can deter Franklin and make him dare not touch him casually!But he immediately thought again, what would he do if Franklin kept asking who his teacher was and where he lived?And in the four questions not long ago, he also said that he had never learned ancient Chinese before, so where could a teacher suddenly appear?
No way, Norman could only shake his head and said, "No."

But although he didn't have a teacher, he did have one student.

Of course, there is no need to tell Franklin about this.

This answer obviously did not meet Franklin's expectations. He nodded and finally asked, "Then are you willing to be my student?"

Norman looked at Franklin and blinked twice.

What is Franklin talking about?
If he heard correctly, the mage was asking if he would like to be his student?
Didn't he come to teach himself a lesson?But to recruit students? ...

This question obviously exceeded the expectations of Bernie and the three of them.

Their expressions were much more surprised than Norman's, and their eyes were as big as copper bells: Whether it was them, their friends, or even every ancient language learner in Cardenas, they had always been The students come to ask the teachers who are mages to accept them as students and teach them relevant knowledge.After all, there are so few masters of the ancient language, and there are so many people who want to learn the ancient language. Where has it ever been heard that Mr. Mage personally came to ask someone if he would like to be their student?

Even a baker would not drag a person in the street like this and ask him if he wants to learn how to bake bread, let alone a noble mage!
This really shocked them.

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

After hearing Franklin's words, Norman was not overjoyed. Instead, he stared at Franklin vigilantly, as if he wanted to refuse but didn't dare to speak. After struggling for a while, he said, "I don't have money."

When he was talking, he was still staring at Franklin with a look of anti-thief, and unconsciously covered the small bag with silver on his waist with his hand, as if he was afraid that Franklin would rush over and snatch his money from him Walk.

Bernie staggered and almost fell to the ground out of thin air.

What is the boss talking about!Mr. Franklin offered to accept him as a student. This should be the only one in the entire Cardenas. It is a great honor, a capital to show off, and the best material to brag to others!And he responded with "I have no money"? !
But at the same time, Bernie's mind was faintly excited: even in the whole of Cardenas, who would stand in Norman's current position and face Mr. Franklin's willingness to ask for apprentices and say " I don't have money" to refuse?I'm afraid no one but Norman can!Only their friend Norman can do it! ...

Bernie was damn proud of it.

Facing Norman's answer, Franklin was also taken aback, apparently not expecting such an answer from him.However, this thin, triangular-eyed Mr. mage is also well-informed. After he took a closer look at Norman, he immediately smiled again and said, "I won't take your money. On the contrary, I will provide you with daily food. If you need it, I can even provide you with a place to live temporarily, what do you think?"

No charge, but also room and board? ...

Bernie's physical fitness is really not good, and he began to feel dizzy again.

When did the noble knowledge of the mage be reduced to the point where no charge and room and board were included in order for people to learn it! ?
Bernie clearly remembered that when he came to Mr. Franklin's place as a student, his family paid 3 Jintarams for it!And that's just the cost of apprenticeship, not including the annual tuition fee of 2 gold tarams.

Why didn't Mr. Franklin tell him "No money, room and board included"?

At this moment, Bernie wanted to scream up to the sky, lamenting the injustice of fate, and at the same time, he did not forget to focus on Norman with his dizzy eyes, wanting to see his answer.

If Norman refuses again, will Mr. Franklin kneel on the ground and beg him to be his student?
A ridiculous idea flashed in Bernie's mind.

Before today, he absolutely scoffed at this idea, thinking it was absolutely impossible to happen, but now Mr. Franklin even said that he doesn't want to pay for tuition, board and lodging...

Kneeling to accept disciples, this kind of idea does not seem to be completely impossible.
