Verse 141: Mr. Peacock
"You may not know a lot about it when you first arrived in Mannheim, like the deal you want to make now, it's not fair to you. ”
Corwin looked at Norman and didn't immediately say the contact information of the other party, but said something else: "I won't ask you what kind of god contractor you are, it's your secret, I just want to say that if you are the contractor of the god of winter, then this deal is not fair to you." Because these are only 3 level 1 spells, and what the other party wants is the learning skills of the ancient language ability, if you do have effective ancient language learning skills, then the exchange between the two is very unfair. ”
After saying that, Colwin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I just don't want the skeleton to leave a bad impression on you and put the facts on the table, as for how to choose, it's up to you." ”
Hearing Corwin say this, Norman realized that there were still these claims in it, but after thinking about it, he finally chose to make a deal with this gentleman.
The reward that Norman intends to pay is Mi Zige, in Norman's opinion, the price he needs to pay is not large, he can sell such a skill for a few silver narls before, and now he can exchange it for a spell spell, why not?
And he has his own ideas.
He wanted to take this opportunity to do an experiment to see how valuable Mizige really was in the minds of these elites, which would set a price for his next actions.
And after seeing that Norman still insisted, Colwin shrugged his shoulders again.
"Okay, if you insist on choosing that, you can. I will contact him......"
......
Norman and the person who posted the information agreed to meet in a café on the east side of Mannheim.
This was Norman's first experience of this exotic food from Praia, which tasted strange but cost a lot of money, and if Daniel hadn't made an appointment here, he really didn't want to come. However, the students in Mannheim are basically aristocrats, and this kind of consumption is acceptable to them, so there are quite a lot of people here, and they are almost full.
And after waiting for a while, the gentleman who posted the information finally came.
As soon as the gentleman who posted the transaction information entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention: he was thin and like a bamboo pole, but his clothes were gorgeous.
The silk base fabric is embroidered with strips of gold edges, and there are silver flowers at the branches of the gold edges, and the hem of the clothes is even inlaid with blue diamonds. His trousers are in a similar style, wearing two rings on his right hand and three on his left hand, each ring is inlaid with large gemstones, red, blue, yellow, purple and blue, each color is different, shining brightly.
Norman was almost blinded by his outfit, as did the others, and the gentleman seemed to enjoy the sensation of being in the spotlight, and with a proud look on his face, he walked towards Norman's place with his head held high, and finally sat down opposite Norman.
"Is that you?"
This guy walks with his nose facing the sky, so it wasn't until he sat down and ordered a cup of coffee that he finally saw Norman's appearance, which made him start, "Are you the one who wants to trade with me?"
Norman recognized him, and was indeed one of the members of the Skull and Bones Society who had been present on the day of his initiation, and the gentleman was dressed so flamboyantly that he seemed to be happy to have his whole body covered in gems.
"It's me. ”
Norman ascertained this with him, and then saw a slight hook at the right corner of the gentleman's mouth, and his eyes narrowed a little more than before, and there was a flash of wonder in his eyes.
Together, these micro-expressions are called contempt.
"If I remember correctly, you're a freshman this year, right?"
Norman nodded, "Yes." ”
Then the gentleman, dressed like a peacock, said, "That's a pity, I don't think you have what I need." As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but was stopped by Norman's words.
"Then I regret that you have lost a shortcut to the old saying. ”
Norman said this in an ancient language, which was pronounced pleasantly and pure.
This is the reason why this Mr. Peacock stopped his pace of leaving: a freshman who has passed the qualification assessment of a one-star black-robed mage is indeed very powerful, but it is even more powerful for an admitted freshman to have such a pure ancient language accent!
Even Mr. Peacock himself, the accent is far from being so pure, and the other party is just a freshman from Mannheim, which must have special ancient language learning skills to make this new student's ancient language accent so pure.
So Mr. Peacock took his seat, looked at Norman twice, smiled, and said, "I hope your method and your accent will surprise me." ”
He looked around and said, "Let's talk in another place." ”
It seems that he also has his purpose in meeting here: if the other party makes him dissatisfied, he can just leave without revealing too much of his privacy, and if the other party makes him satisfied, he can also change to the next venue for the next interview.
Norman nodded, "Okay." Then he drank the coffee that was left in the cup in front of him, and resolutely did not waste it, after all, 2 silver narr a cup.
And at this time, Mr. Peacock's coffee was also delivered.
The freshly brewed coffee was still relatively hot, as could be seen from Mr. Peacock's distorted facial expression, but he grinned and grinned and tried to finish the cup of coffee before he stood up.
"Let's go. ”
This person is even more desperate than Norman, and in order not to waste money, he has to finish the coffee even if he is hot, and that expression makes Norman feel very painful when he sees it.
Apparently he could not be expected to pay for it, and Norman and he left the café after paying their respective bills.
The man led the way, and after walking for a while, the two came to the dormitory, during which they exchanged basic information, so Norman learned that the miserly Mr. Peacock's name was Danielle Warren, a third-year student in Mannheim, and that the place they were going to was Daniel's dormitory.
I don't know if it's because of the grade or because of family, Daniel's dormitory is single, which makes the communication between the two much easier.
After entering Danielle's dormitory, the doors and windows were closed, and Danielle cut straight to the point and asked, "Tell me about your method." ”
Norman didn't take out the rice grid immediately, but solemnly asked Danielle to swear first.
"You need to swear to God the Father that what I show you next will not be revealed to a second person. ”
Colwin's words caused Norman to take a fresh look at the Templar Knights' teaching him the rice grid, which he had sold for 1 silver nar at the beginning, and the price seemed to be more than that, and to be honest, the rice grid was relatively easy to copy.
Effective, easy to imitate, and highly valuable, it's no wonder that Norman finally took Mizige seriously, and asked Danielle to swear before showing it to him.
After all, he didn't plan to do this business, the entire Skull Club was his potential customer, and if this leaked from Danielle, what would he do with this business?
After Danielle saw Norman's solemn expression, he was also infected by Norman's emotions and was full of curiosity about Norman's method. After thinking about it for a moment, he swore an oath as Norman asked.
"I, Danielle Warren, now swear to the Great Father......"
On the mainland, taking an oath in the name of the Father is the most serious, which reassures Norman and finally takes a stack of rice squares out of his arms.
He had made it on the fly before he had gone to the café to meet Danielle.
