Peggy's teacher's name is Benson Carter, and he is also an ancient language teacher in the Third District, and like Franklin, he is a gray-robed mage. However, unlike Franklin, Mr. Benson has not been trusted for the quality of his teaching because he has not taught students who can be admitted to church schools, which has led to Mr. Benson's tuition being relatively low among the teachers in the Third District, and Mr. Benson's school is mostly the children of small merchants or wealthy craftsmen.

Peggy, for example.

Norman had learned all of this information from Bernie, and these guys liked to discuss their business of "expanding the territory" with their fists when they were idle, and to expand the territory, they naturally had to have some understanding of their enemies, the students of the other teachers in the third district.

Since Mr. Benson is also a gray-robed mage, Peggy is obviously unable to pass the entrance exams to the school, which is probably devastating news for the family.

Norman and Colin's family had been together for a while, and they knew a little bit about the family: Colin was a winemaker, and his wife, Winnie, was a pulp washer, and the two did not earn very much. It is not easy for such a family to provide for Peggy to study in the third district, it can be said that they are tightening their belts in life, and they are giving everything they have in order to fight for a chance that Peggy can enter the church school and change her fate, but now this opportunity is gone......

They are probably more desperate than Norman now, after all, Norman has only recently started to do this, but they have been working on it for several years, and it has ended up in vain. So they must be very unwilling now, like travelers drifting on the sea on a stormy night, desperately trying to grasp a life-saving straw.

Norman looked at Colin and saw that the man in his forties was staring at him, and there was a fire of hope burning in his eyes.

"I'm not. ”

Norman shook his head, ruthlessly extinguishing Colin's glimmer of hope.

"I'm just a gray-robed mage. ”

He moved Franklin's story out - and it worked for a very good reason.

When Colin heard this, he didn't immediately withdraw his gaze, but still stared at Norman stubbornly, as if he thought Norman was joking with him. After looking at it for a long time, the small flame of hope in his eyes gradually extinguished, and finally he took his gaze back, and silently ate the beans on the plate in front of him again.

Winnie and Peggy, too, drooped their ears when they heard this answer.

This dinner can be said to be the quietest Norman has eaten since he came to teach the old language, just after eating, Colin went out, Winnie cleaned up, only Norman and Peggy were left in the living room, and the routine study began again.

Peggy is a little girl who loves to learn, and Norman is afraid of his enthusiasm for learning: not to mention Franklin's students, even he himself does not have such a passion for learning.

This little girl will seize every opportunity to ask difficult questions about learning, and will treat it with the fullest enthusiasm in class, and her eyes will always shine, hungry to absorb all knowledge.

But today it's different.

This little girl, who had always been full of enthusiasm when she was studying, was now wilting, quiet and silent, as if she had become a mute, with no sparkle in her eyes and absent-mindedness.

We have to get her mind back quickly, Norman thought to himself, otherwise, she won't be able to learn well like this, and Colin and his wife are not satisfied, so I wonder if he will continue to teach Peggy......

When this job became the only reliance on Norman's life, Norman couldn't help but think a lot.

Bang bang.

Norman tapped the table twice, drawing Peggy's attention. When he saw Peggy coming over, he asked, "Do you remember what I taught you yesterday?"

Peggy nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's good,"

Norman commanded, "Recite it." ”

He had to give Peggy something to do, to let Peggy's mind have something to think about, so that Peggy wouldn't always think about the fatwa, and she could study hard, get the effect of learning, and keep his job.

Peggy is not only diligent and studious, but also an obedient student, and after hearing Norman's order, she immediately recited: "Uh-huh, Aren't dead......"

"Guyin", the ancient name "pinyin", is another thing that the Knights Templar taught to Norman.

According to the instructions of the Knights Templar, in addition to the ancient language, he also took the initiative to learn some knowledge of the lingua franca from Franklin in the past two days, such as the alphabet: the alphabet of the lingua franca has a total of 32 letters, and these letters constitute thousands of words and are the basis of the lingua franca. After Norman learned the alphabet, he didn't learn a few words, so he first learned another thing - pinyin.

The Knights Templar extracted the first 26 letters of the alphabet and marked a set of sounds that were completely different from the pronunciation of the letters, and the most amazing thing was that these sounds were put together according to certain rules to mark the accurate pronunciation of the ancient language!

The lingua franca and the ancient language, to a certain extent, were actually interconnected, which Norman found interesting and interesting to learn.

For Norman, who has mastered more than 600 ancient languages and mastered the pure pronunciation of ancient languages, and has no stereotypes of letters, learning pinyin is as simple and smooth as eating and drinking.

Norman also taught Pinyin to Peggy by the way.

There were several advantages to this: first, a new knowledge of an ancient language that Peggy had never heard of would undoubtedly make Norman's mage status more solid, and second, he really couldn't stand Peggy for the past two days—this little girl was so stupid that she couldn't learn a simple old language for days, and she couldn't pronounce it accurately. If she had been taught pinyin, she would have been able to pronounce at least a little more accurately, and Norman would not have been so troubled, and in the end, if Colin hadn't picked him up on the street, Norman would have starved to death by now, which made him feel that he owed something to the family. Teaching Peggy Pinyin now makes Norman feel that he has really given himself to the job, and no longer always feels that he owes something to the family.

Based on the above three reasons, Norman taught Pinyin to Peggy.

“...... Sign Cigarette Day. ”

Peggy finished memorizing the pinyin table, but the result made Norman secretly say in his heart: What did she memorize just now? Even if the ancient language can't pronounce the pronunciation, she can't even pronounce the pinyin? Especially the last "west" sound, she can pronounce it as "sign", as well as "zi", and "day", which is so much worse, it is also amazing.

Norman grabbed a piece of paper from the table—he, the teacher, had never brought anything, all in Colin's—and began to teach.

"There are a few sounds that you pronounce well, but you pronounce more sounds incorrectly, let's learn again now......"

However, it seems that Peggy is really in a bad mood today, causing this good girl who has always been a good girl to resist head-on for the first time and express her dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Norman,"

Peggy looked at Norman and said, "I'm just learning from you about ancient languages, not about these strange things." ”

Her eyes flickered, and she seemed to have something to say, but she was struggling.

Norman seems to have returned to the scene when he first came to teach Peggy...... No, it was worse than then, and at that time, Peggy didn't express her displeasure so clearly even if she suspected that he wasn't a mage, and it was a bit unusual today.

What did she want to do? She couldn't take the entrance exam, so it didn't matter if she didn't learn the old language, so she planned to kick herself out?......

Many thoughts flashed through Norman's mind for a moment.

But no matter what Peggy thinks, he won't let her get her wish.

This job, he can't lose.

"Strange stuff?"

Norman looked at Peggy, sneered, and didn't argue with her, just picked up a quill and wrote an old phrase on paper.

The word "Gone with the Wind" is also an old saying that Peggy has been learning recently but always mispronounces.

Peggy just watched, not knowing what Norman was trying to do.

After Norman finished writing this ancient saying, he wrote a few letters on it, and then pointed to those letters, one letter at a time, and each one pointed to the corresponding pinyin in his mouth.

"Poe is a ......"

Norman read it several times: the first time, the pinyin was very separated and clear, the second time, the pinyin began to lean together, and the third time, the pronunciation of the pinyin was more close together, almost together, head to end.

Thus, a tone is naturally formed.

"Float. ”

Peggy's eyes, which had been in a trance, flickering and dodging, suddenly widened at this moment, and her face was full of disbelief.

It's like seeing a miracle.
