Fashen live room

Chapter 45 Where is the Black Robe Mage

Norman didn't know what "old iron" meant, but he could probably guess what it meant.

He was also really heartbroken.

Not only was the heart pierced, but it was even pierced through, bleeding continuously.

"Gawain!"

After Norman was in a daze on the street for a while, he squeezed out the name through clenched teeth.

What are those Templar mages doing!Are they helping him or hurting him!He did what they said, only to be kicked out by Franklin?Would it be too late to go back and tell Franklin he didn't want to go? ...

Gawain was very active in the past, even if everyone else in the Knights Templar was not there, he would definitely be there.But now under Norman's call, the sharp man's voice did not appear.

Norman clearly remembered that Gawain was clearly still there just now, and among the Templars who advised him, his voice was the most recognizable.

"Gawain!"

Norman squeezed the name out of his teeth again, but Gawain still remained silent.

Not only Gawain, but the rest of the Knights Templar also remained silent, as if they realized that they had caused trouble, and Norman could only hear the other mages' neat "heart piercing, old iron".

Norman touched his back: on his back was his package, which contained a few things he had brought with him when he first arrived in Cardenas, a broken pot, an iron head of a plow, two Clothes--one old Norman's, one he'd bought new for himself, and a book.

Then Norman looked ahead.

The glare of the sun at noon, the constant crowds in the big city, the indifferent faces...

Everything was like when he first came to Cardenas, he seemed to have a dream.

If it weren't for the heavy weight of the 42 silver gnars and a handful of copper aspers he hid in his crotch, and if it wasn't for the extra copy of Adrian's notes in the package, he would have thought he had done it. It was a dream.

The Knights Templar remained silent, and Norman had nothing to do with them, so he could only turn around, with one thought in his mind: If he went back now and told Mr. Franklin that he didn't really want to leave, would Franklin agree with him to stay here? ? ...

"Don't think about it, he won't let you continue to live."

In addition to "I'm heartbroken, old iron", he finally heard a different voice from the bottom of his heart.

This voice was very special, it was Gao Wen who he had been looking for for a long time without saying a word.

"Finally, you have shown up?!"

Norman said to him sternly.

It's all this guy's fault!
With the appearance of Gawain, the rest of the Knights Templar finally came forward. They used the familiar sound array to communicate with Norman, but they did not respond to Norman's words, but said to themselves: " Why did he accept you as a student? It is because you are talented in ancient Chinese. He accepts you as a student. If you do well in the entrance examination, he will be famous and get a lot of benefits. Now that this decree appears, you have Can't do him any favors..."

The Knights Templar told Norman everything they had speculated, and it was only at this time that Norman finally knew why Franklin accepted him as a student.

"...This method didn't work because we made a mistake in our work, but we didn't have a choice. Even if you didn't speak at that time, he would take the initiative to let you go. And we did that, at least we made an effort, and the effect is not without— —Didn’t he give you that notebook as a souvenir? It can only be said that we made a mistake in our assessment of him.”

After listening to their analysis, Norman recalled Franklin's actions just now, and vaguely felt that this was indeed the case.

His brain is not stupid, and his observation ability is even more outstanding. He just lacks social experience and understanding of human forms.Now, after listening to the Knights Templar talk about the cause and effect, combined with what he himself observed, he immediately figured it out.

Indeed, as the Knights Templar said, Franklin would let him go even if he didn't ask, so no matter what, it was impossible for him to live in Franklin's house.

After figuring this out, Norman turned his body back again, facing the street.

"But we still have hope."

It seems that in order to make up for the mistakes, the Knights Templar are coming up with ideas again.

"He said that only the students of the black-robed mage can take the entrance exam, then we will go to the black-robed mage and become their student-with your 'talent', it is not difficult to do this. When the time comes, you You can get back on track with your life.”

When Norman heard it, he suddenly realized.

Yes, why did he have to hang himself from a tree like Franklin?Since Franklin's students are not eligible to take the exam, wouldn't it be good for him to find those who can take the entrance exam and be their students?

After the battle of Franklin, Norman still has some understanding of his "old language talent" and is quite confident. I believe it is not difficult for other mages to accept him as a student.

"The black-robed mage should be a real mage. That's fine, if you find a real mage as your teacher again, then what you learn will be more useful..."

The Templars were still talking non-stop in his heart, but Norman couldn't wait.

Although the Knights Templar had a big oolong just now, the idea this time is still possible. Norman happened to think so, and the ideas of the two sides coincided with each other.

So he tightened the package tied to his body, and walked out with big strides...

……

When Norman arrived at the door of Colin's house, seven clocks rang on time.

Norman stood at the door of Colin's house, his expression was not good.

He had been looking for the black-robed mage all afternoon, but the result was not satisfactory: he first swept through the familiar third district, and asked people cheekily, especially some guys like students. Let it go, but the result is depressing.

The ancient language teachers in the entire third district, like Franklin, are not black-robed mages.

He also asked many people if they knew where there was a black-robed mage in Cardenas, but no one knew.

"It's normal, this is in line with the noble status of true mages."

This is how the Knights Templar summed it up.

Indeed, mages are noble, but where can he find these teachers!
In order to find traces of the black-robed mage, Norman even went to the second district to search, but there were fewer people there, more red and white bars on the street, and more indifferent pedestrians. Several people were willing to stop and listen to him, and no one answered his question about where the black-robed mage was.

In the end, Norman even wanted to go to the first district to look for it. Unfortunately, there were city guards stationed at several entrances of the first district-the city guards who actually wore armor and held sharp weapons, not the city guards in the other districts. Red and white stripes on patrol.With these city guards stationed, Norman didn't even have the qualifications to enter the first district, let alone ask where there is a black-robed mage inside.

After searching for an afternoon without any results, Norman could only think of returning to the sixth district.

I don't know what to do with the entrance exam for the time being, and the place to live is gone. At this time, the job of Colin's family can no longer be lost. This is his only stable source of income in Cardenas now.

After thinking about it, Norman knocked on Colin's door.

It was Colin who opened the door, which surprised Norman: At this time in the past, Colin was no longer at home to work in the tavern, why is he at home today?

"Mr. Norman."

Colin greeted him with a very respectful attitude, but there was some weird expression in the respect, as if he wanted to say something.

"?"

Norman looked at Colin, not understanding what this guy was trying to say.

Colin blinked, looked at him twice, and mustered up his courage! ...But still didn't say anything, just threw out a nonsense: "Please come in." Saying that, he moved out of the way into the living room, signaling Norman to go first.

As usual, dinner was ready for Colin's family: browned toast in a bread basket, a small plate of beans in black sauce in front of each person, and a large plate of kale in the center of the table... what?

Norman, who entered the living room and dining room, found that the large plate of kale salad that he used to have for every dinner was gone, and the center of the dining table was empty.

Not only did the dinner on the table change, but the expressions of Winnie and Peggy were also a little off, and they were both a little distracted.

But Norman said nothing.

It would be nice if he could continue to have a meal here, how could he take care of other people's affairs?
So, like in the past, he greeted them and sat down in his seat. Everyone took their seats and began to eat.

During the meal, Norman noticed several times that Colin seemed to want to say something to himself, but each time it ended in vain: he either pretended to get the jam, or muttered some more from the clay pot on the table. He took a spoonful of beans by himself, but never said what he wanted to say to Norman.

Norman also noticed that Colin's wife, Winnie, gestured to Colin several times with her eyes, and even elbowed Colin twice quietly, as if to urge him.

Finally, after Winnie elbowed Colin again, Colin finally made up his mind, put down the spoon in his hand, glanced at Norman, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Is it a black robe mage?"

When Colin asked this question, Winnie and Peggy were eating, but they all pricked up their ears at the same time.

Sure enough, Norman thought in his heart.

He guessed it would be this.
