Chapter 17 attempts
60 meters to the left at 53 Pound Street in the third district.
This lane is sandwiched by the walls of two houses, and no one else opens the door. Usually, there are few people walking in the lane, and in the past two days, it has almost become Norman’s temporary office in the third district
Now he’s sitting inside, leaning against the wall, carrying his back and putting the package aside.
"… what a stingy guy"
There was a man in the alley who complained to himself that "he drank more than half of a whole ale, so I couldn’t sleep in it for two nights …"
He struggled with Thomas for a long time yesterday until both of them drank up the barrel of ale. Thomas still refused to let him sleep at Thomas’s house, but Thomas himself didn’t sleep inside, so he slept that night. What a freak outside.
After complaining about the old drunkard, Norman remembered the people who fell from the sky.
"That is a spell …"
Unlike Norman’s so-called "life-changing spell" that tricked Peggy, what those people did last night was obviously a real spell, so that they could fly from the sky in violation of common sense and not fall to death.
Former Peggy said that magic power can "make the storm blow on a clear day and make the silent volcano erupt instantly". Norman thought it was this little girl’s exaggeration, or her other teacher, Mr. Sen, also fooled her. Norman didn’t believe that he could do such an incredible thing by himself.
Yesterday, however, things made Norman face up to the power of magic again, even making people fly like birds, something that Norman couldn’t even think of before. What else can’t be done with magic? More than Norman, he deeply suspected that he often did that dream, and the scene was caused by magic.
"I really want to experience the power of a mage …"
Norman muttered unconsciously, his hands stretched out in front of him.
He looked at his hands and an idea sprang up involuntarily. Then he got up and looked around as carefully as a thief. After making sure that there was no one in front of or behind the lane, he looked back with solemn expression and solemnly sang, "Great Dan Tai is long. You faithful believers pray for four glimmers …"
Norman has read the paper with spells written on it more than once in Peggy’s private teaching these days. The wizards in his body have helped him to memorize this spell, and now he can say it immediately, and often after a few days of "learning", his ancient language level has improved. A small part of this spell can actually be understood, which also gives him the urge to try again.
Norman was so absorbed in this spell that he noticed something different!
He still remembers that when Peggy read this spell at home, nothing happened and he spoke just like usual, but this time he just started reading this spell and something seemed to move in his body!
It’s hard to talk. It’s like there’s a small pool of things in his head flowing with him chanting spells!
At the same time, there seems to be one thing in his mind, this small pool of things flows into such things … It’s really hard to understand. For example, it’s like Norman has a barrel in his head, and there is also a pool of ale that consciously flows into this barrel as Norman sings a spell, but there is too little ale, and before Norman finishes singing, it flows into the barrel.
"… request arrival!"
shout
A breeze twisted around Norman’s hand in front of him, and the alley was silent.
Norman kept his posture just now, and his eyes wandered around for half a day.
Nothing happened
"Alas …"
Norman sighed and put his hands back in front of him just now.
Just now, after he was keenly aware of the different shapes in front of his body, he was able to successfully launch the spell this time. Unexpectedly, he still failed to launch anything, which made him frown and think hard about how the spell was launched. Didn’t he read the spell completely? What is missing? ……
Norman just sat in the alley thinking hard and didn’t want to walk at the corner of the white alley, which made Norman temporarily focus on the past-today "learning" is about to start again
In the past few days, Norman has gone from the low-end pattern of public robbery on the first day to the high-end pattern of the so-called younger brother, Bernie Baker and Pi Nuo. These guys who were robbed by him on the first day are now his younger brothers. They volunteered to find "broilers" to rob Norman of the old saying knowledge. Norman needs to sit here and wait every day. Everything is wonderful and incredible.
What’s even more incredible is that none of the students who were dragged by them to let Norman rob the knowledge of the old saying were dissatisfied and swearing, but they were more embarrassed by their hands and feet. On the contrary, those guys were all smiling and smiling.
All these city people have a hobby of being robbed?
Norman is a little puzzled, but it’s nothing else. He just needs to be able to rob knowledge. Of course, after each robbery, he will "help" these robbed poor people to look at their ancient saying industry-the ancient saying group has at most a word meaning explanation. Of course, all these are not necessary for Norman. The scope of ancient saying he has studied can be easily solved.
Everything is going well.
At this rate, there should be no problem in passing the entrance examination for that church school after one month, right? ……
Norman thought about seeing people coming in at the corner as usual, but unlike usual, there was something wrong with the people.
Seeing the bearer, Norman was distracted just now, his eyes were sharp, his waist was bent and he was lifted, and he quickly grabbed his parcel from the ground and started to run in the opposite direction, but he just turned around and stopped before his left leg took a step.
Lane this head also drilled two people.
Norman turned his body back and looked at the two faces smiling at the corner, but his heart was already swearing. Bernie Baker Pi Nuo, don’t let Lao run into you again, or you will be beaten until you don’t even know your mother!
See the alley to the two men, one is quite fat and the other is very thin.
Norman, the fat man in a red and white jacket, has also known each other these two days. He knows that this is Cardenas’ public security system, and the thin one is wearing a loose gray robe with a small moustache and triangular eyes. At first glance, he doesn’t look like a good man, and he looks a little awkward with a solemn look.
Franklin? Wood has got to know this noble mage with the eye of the triangle, that is, the owner of the red house, through wandering around the third district these days.
He robbed his students himself, and he finally found the door.
Chapter 10 Trapped beast
"Will Mr. Franklin arrest him?"
Pi Nuo squatted and looked up at Bernie and asked anxiously.
Bernie is the tallest young man among those who were robbed by Norman on the first day. Now he is constantly sticking his head into the lane to see the scene inside, but the structure of the lane is very curved, and he can’t see what is inside, and he doesn’t know what is going on inside.
Finally, he could shrink his head back, shake it and sigh, "I think so, or Mr. Franklin wouldn’t have brought red and white stripes."
The "red and white stripes" in his mouth are the guards of the city of Cardenas, also known as security soldiers. Because they are made of red and white striped mandarin jackets, they are also directly called red and white stripes by some people. These red and white stripes are the most basic violent institutions in Cardenas, which are generally under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. However, for many citizens who do not understand the organizational system of urban security institutions, many people will treat red and white stripes as sheriff, such as Norman.
Pi Nuo asked again, "Then he can’t help us finish our studies?"
Bernie replied "Yes"
Pi Nuo asked again, "Can we see him again?"
Bernie didn’t answer again but was silent.
He really wants to answer "yes", but his reason and experience tell him that the answer is "no"
Mr. Franklin specially invited red and white stripes to do things according to these people’s style. They are likely to arrest Norman and then throw him in prison for several years, more than ten years or even a generation.
Civilians beating nobles is a big crime.
Thought of here, Bernie glanced at Beck, who had been silent for a long time.
Although he didn’t fall into Mr. Franklin’s class with these wealthy children, Baker is still a noble child and will only inherit the baron title of his father in the future. Even now, he has a transition title from baron, which is considered noble. Norman beat him black and blue, which is a violation of the law of Augustus United Kingdom. It is reasonable to throw him in prison.
Baker noticed Bernie’s eyes, which made his face twitch. He turned away and stared at the street with his back against the wall. The crowd was stubborn in silence.
Pi Nuo is very clever. Although Bernie didn’t answer him, he knew that Bernie’s silence was an answer.
"I will miss him …"
Pi Nuo dialect also represents Bernie and Baker’s heart.
Young people’s minds are much simpler than those of adults. Although Norman beat them hard and scared them, Norman also had something that surprised them-his ancient sayings were as proficient as their teacher, Mr. Franklin! Moreover, he is so young and about their age, which makes them worship consciously. In addition, Norman has told them a lot of wonderful experiences that they have never heard of, such as farm work, forest hunting, fierce wild boar, terrible spotted tiger and so on. These are things that they have never experienced before, and just listening to them makes them admire Norman more.
In the end, Norman and others have made a splash in the third district mage student group in the past two days. Now many children in the third district know that they are "big shots who can help them solve the annoying old saying industry", which makes them enjoy something that they have never been sought after before. Even their old rival Charlie has taken the initiative to be nice to them, but they dare not think about it before …
All this makes them unconsciously regard Norman as "the big brother next door" and "the king of children". If he is missing, life will really lack a lot of fun.
Looking at the pedestrian in the street silently, Baker suddenly bounced back from the wall, took his legs and walked to one side of the lane.
Bernie said, "What are you doing!"
Before Norman arrived, Bernie was the head of their group. His words still carried some weight. Baker temporarily stopped his steps and explained, "I’m going to go in and make it clear to Mr. Franklin that I fought with Charlie and them two days ago voluntarily. I was beaten. Aren’t Charlie and them still okay?" Add myself this time, I believe he will be fine. "
Bernie Bibeek is more aware of the hidden rules in these things.
"Without him, it’s a violation of the laws of the kingdom. It’s not that you don’t want to pursue it."
He shook his head and explained in detail, "unlike Norman, Charlie and his children are rich businessmen. We can all see that he is the lowest class even among civilians, and he is not a mage student, which doomed him to be treated like Charlie and his children."
Although there are two classes in Augustus United Kingdom, there are many subtle classes, especially in recent hundreds of years. For example, the class of urban wealthy businessmen has become a class that cares about civilians and nobles. Even if Charlie and his gang beat Baker black and blue in their daily fights, it will be attributed to the normal play of children, and no one will care about the laws of the real kingdom. Even if Norman beats a noble master, he will be seriously investigated, let alone make Baker look like this.
Baker knew Bernie should be right, but he was still unwilling. "But we have to do something!"
Something has to be done …
Bernie touched Pi Nuo’s head and looked at Baker’s impatience for a long time. "You’re right, we have to do something! Go! "
Even if you go in to persuade and explain, you may not get anything, but it’s better than waiting here! ……
Norman didn’t know that his fists and words had been levied on these guys in just a few days. He knew that he was likely to face the greatest danger after coming to Cardenas.
Those sheriffs are tough with big arms and a round waist, not to mention they all have weapons in their hands-Norman once saw their swords drawn in the street, and the sharp sword awn can even reflect light, which is obviously much more dangerous than the rusty knife of the agricultural officer. He doesn’t want to try it himself.
