Verse 40: Heaven
Franklin's students had already worked the ancient language, and it was only because of its complexity that they still had barriers to some ancient languages, and now after being trained in the ancient language cage, this barrier was immediately broken, so they learned it quickly.
And while they were studying, other students were coming.
"Good morning, Norman. ”
"Good morning, Norman. ”
"Good morning, Boss. ”......
The first thing every student did when they came to the living room was to look at where Norman was sitting, and when they saw him, they all smiled and greeted him from afar, with a warm smile on their faces, which was very different from the scene on Norman's first day: on the day Norman first arrived, the students looked at him with either ridicule or disdain or disdain, and except for Bernie, who had been a few or three people, none of them had given the big man in funny clothes a good look.
But now Norman seems to be the most popular and popular person in the living room.
This is not because Norman is Mr. Franklin's nephew: for those lowly servants, it is likely that Norman will deliberately pander to him because he is Mr. Franklin's nephew, but these little masters and young ladies have been raised by others since childhood, and they have their own pride and dignity, and they will not please Norman just because he is Mr. Franklin's nephew.
The reason why they are so enthusiastic about Norman now is entirely because of Norman's "noble and selfless act" of taking out the magic object of the ancient prison and sharing it with them.
It was a cage of old words, a magical object of magical powers, a precious thing that even Mr. Franklin cherished, and never showed to them, but only for his nephew Norman!
This shows even more that Norman genuinely treats them as good friends.
So what reason is there for such a person not to be liked by everyone?
In the whole living room, there is probably only one person who doesn't like Norman so much.
Justin arrived at Franklin's house a little early, as usual, and greeted the old servant Grace with his nostrils in a gentle but dignified manner, and entered the drawing-room.
He subconsciously glanced around the corner and saw a guy standing at Norman's table, it was Stan Barnali.
Hum.
Justin sneered inwardly.
Another copper toe. (An old proverb of the United Kingdom of Augustus, generally referring to those who tend to be inflammatory)
Justin didn't say hello to Norman and went straight to his place and sat down, and he was the only student who came in without saying hello to Norman.
How could he say hello to Norman?
You know, before Norman arrives and takes out the old language cage, he, Justin, is the center of attention in the whole living room! Except for Bernie and the other stupid guys, who doesn't take his lead in the students? But Norman's arrival changed all that.
It only took two days for his "Redstone Light" to be robbed of all his glory by Norman, and he was indeed his fateful enemy of Justin. However, he will not throw in the towel easily, and he will let everyone know that he is the best Justin Combe!
Thinking so, Justin carefully pulled out a piece of parchment from his handy leather satchel.
It's a cage of old sayings.
It can be seen that there are a total of 6 ancient language cages on this paper, 4 of which have been used today, and 2 of which are intact.
This is the old mantra cage of magical items that Norman secretly took from Mr. Franklin.
Although Justin would not bow to Norman and pay him to teach him an ancient language, it did not prevent his other students from buying this ancient language cage.
In Justin's opinion, the battle of fate between himself and Norman was already at a disadvantage: Norman was able to obtain a steady stream of ancient cages from Mr. Franklin, but he could not come up with such magical magical items to please people's hearts, which was a big disadvantage. The solution was to tell Mr. Franklin that Norman had taken out the old language cage that Mr. Franklin had given him for his own personal use and used it for other students, but Justin did not bother to do such a thing, and if he did, it would probably not only not regain his glory, but would be isolated by all the students, so this path would not work.
Then he can only think of other ways.
All Justin had in mind was to overshadow Norman on the next entrance exam.
On the first day, he was in awe of Norman's ancient language skills, thinking how amazing this big man's ancient language talent was, but later he learned that it was all the work of the magic object. Now that this big man is stupid to take out such a magical magic item and share it with everyone, wouldn't he be as stupid as Norman if he didn't use it?And with the help of the ancient language cage, Justin believes that his ancient language level will improve by leaps and bounds, and when the time comes, it is possible to make a splash on the entrance exam, and even shock the whole of Cárdenas, and not regain his glory as a redstone light?
At that time, it was not the light of redstone, but the light of Canna......
Justin thought of that exciting scene, thought of that glorious moment, and his enthusiasm for learning became more and more high.
Norman didn't know that one of his classmates was thinking so long.
He's still wondering how much money he's going to make today.
2 silvernars, then 2 silvernars, 3 silvernars behind, and 2 silvernars at night......
Norman was counting with his fingers, and the classmate had gone back to his seat with the old language cage he had bought, and there was no one behind him, for it was almost three o'clock.
When the clock comes, Franklin will step into the drawing-room, and if they are still entangled with Norman, Mr. Franklin will notice that something is strange, and then he may find that Norman has shared the old language cage with him for them to use.
“...... When the time comes, my uncle will be angry, and he will definitely not use the old language cage for me again. ”
That's what Norman said to everyone.
"It doesn't matter if I don't use it, the important thing is that you don't have to use it in this way, that's the real big thing. So, if you don't want to have an old language cage to use in the future, then you must keep it a secret from my uncle and not let him know about it. Also, don't come back when it's almost 3 o'clock, my uncle will be here soon......"
Norman's thoughtful words for their sake touched everyone very much, and they all patted their chests to promise that they would keep it secret, and would never let Mr. Franklin find out about it, so naturally they were very conscious that they would never pester Norman when the third clock was approaching.
Norman had just counted on his fingers nine silver narls when the clock rang for three.
It was customary for Mr. Franklin to enter the drawing-room punctually at the last bell, but today was a little unusual: the third bell had already been ringing for a long time, and Mr. Franklin had not yet arrived.
There was a little commotion in the drawing-room, and everyone whispered to each other, wondering why Mr. Franklin hadn't come yet, whether he had a bad stomach or something was delaying.
Norman, on the other hand, was still thinking about himself: by now, he had a total of 42 silver narls and dozens of bronze astellations...... God, he had earned tens of silver narls in ten days, something he had never dared to think of before! Now he didn't have to do anything, he went straight to Ashley Village, paid off Lord Barton's rent, and bought another cow, and lived a good life for the rest of his life.
Of course, he wouldn't do that.
After living in Cárdenas for more than ten days, he has been completely conquered by this big city: white bread, cream, delicate pastries, fat and juicy steaks, fragrant wines, refreshing ales, and a large bed that is as clean as a cloud......
With all these things, why did he go back to Ashley Village to live the life of sleeping with fleas and drinking weed, not to mention that in Ashley Village he had to go to work in the fields at dawn every day, and in Cardenas he didn't have to do anything.
And his life in Cárdenas will get better and better, he will have more and more money, he will have a house that belongs to him, he will enter the church school and become a reserve mage, he will even become a nobleman......
Old Norman was right, he should have come to Cárdenas, this is paradise!
Just as Norman was dreaming about his future life, Mr. Franklin finally arrived.
He was as expressionless as ever, but unlike usual, his face seemed to be more serious and solemn today, and his eyes were more cloudy.
Franklin stepped back from the podium, his eyes glancing underneath and, in a low voice, announced a message.
"Just got the news that this year, all of you will not be able to take the entrance exam for the Cárdenas Church School. ”
Norman was still planning his own future for a better life, and Justin was also thinking about the excitement of his overpowering people on the entrance exam, all of which were cut off by this sentence.
"Clams?"
All the students, including Norman, looked at Franklin in unison.
Ten faces are confused.
Franklin repeated that sentence again.
"All of you, you will not be able to take this year's entrance exams for the Cárdenas Mission School. ”
His gaze was even more cloudy.
Can't take the entrance exam?
Norman looked at Franklin in a daze.
He suddenly remembered that one year there was a great harvest in the fields, and old Norman was so happy that he promised to buy him meat to eat for the first time in his life. But Lord Barton increased his taxes that year, so that he could not eat his meat, and at last he could only sit on the ridge and weep over the bare fields.
