Section 3: The Ugly Girl
Norman was a very industrious man, so he and Colin decided on the specific content of the work and the pay, and then put into their new job on the same day.
The working hours are after dinner, and the place of work is the living room of the Colin family. After another dinner, the living room of the Colin family was cleaned up, leaving Norman and a little girl. Colin and his wife retreated to their rooms, giving them a quiet space to study.
Colin's wife's name was Winnie Ducourt, a woman in her thirties, who looked very gentle, but at the moment she had a sad face, and she couldn't sit properly in the room, walking back and forth, and finally she couldn't help it, and said to Colin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "Colin...... Do you think that's really a mage?"
"I guess it'......"
Colin's answer was uncertain, and he hesitated, mainly because at dinner just now, they had once again seen Mr. Mage's terrifying appearance, which really detracted from his mage status.
So I discussed with him and finally changed my monthly salary to a daily salary. ”
Colin's eyes lit up, and this was also a decision he secretly pride, "Although according to Mr. Benson, he is most likely a real mage, but we can't ignore other possibilities. If he's really an impostor, I think our daughter will be able to see it, and we'll be able to 'ask' him go when the time comes. But if he was really a mage, 55 silver nar a month...... We've made a lot of money!"
"I've inquired, if you want to get the mage's individual teaching, you need at least 1 gold coin a month, and now you can get it for only half of the money, which is very cost-effective!"
Winnie muttered, "55 silver nar ......"
Her husband Colin was paid 16 silver nar a month, and with her income of 8 silver nar a month as a pulp washer, the two of them combined were only 24 silver nar a month.
55 silver nar was a lot of money for this family, and now she had to spend it in a month, and her heart ached when she thought about it. So even if her husband is earning it, she can't be happy.
Especially the mage, it didn't make her feel like a real mage no matter how she looked at it.
"Maybe we should ask him to take a shower first. ”
Winnie said suddenly.
"The smell on his body is so bad that if he takes a shower, he will be comfortable and Peggy will not be uncomfortable. You know, your daughter has never been like this with someone who smells of pee, and I'm afraid she's going to throw up. ”
Colin still shook his head, "This may be a unique trend of their mage, since he didn't ask for it himself, we shouldn't bring it up, so as not to anger him, although it is not certain whether he is a real mage or not......"
The Colin couple muttered in their room, and Norman was mentally active in the living room.
What an ugly little girl!
Norman looked at the girl in front of her and sighed in his heart.
It was dark outside, the sun was long gone, and candles were lit in the living room for lighting.
Colin is also concerned about his daughter's future, and uses beeswax in the living room, not the paraffin wax used in their bedroom. Compared with paraffin, beeswax does not have smoky black smoke, of course, the price is much higher, generally only nobles and wealthy merchants will use it, and through the light of beeswax, you can clearly see the appearance of Colin's daughter Peggy.
She has fair skin, a thin face, not much flesh, a pointed chin, a straight nose, and a small mouth that you can't eat at first glance.
Her hair was long, and she had a long ponytail tied at the back of her head, which was not at all neat, and it would be inconvenient to shake it around when she got to work. and her figure, her arms are thin, her waist is not thick at all, and her thighs don't seem to be as thick as her own arms. Especially now that she is looking at herself, a pair of big eyes blinking and blinking, looking very weak.
Such a slender and weak girl with a long ponytail is not strong at all, and there is really no beauty at all.
Ugly, ugly!
Norman thought of Yuna, the good girl in the village, and compared with the little girl in front of him, Yuna was much more beautiful: strong arms, thick thighs, waistline as thick as a bucket, and a broad face, a blood-red mouth bigger than a plate when she smiled, and at first glance she was a beautiful woman who could eat and work, which made people fascinated.
"Alas......"
Norman sighed, reached under his clothes, and felt the bag that was tightly tied around his waist, and there were two hard things in it, which were two silver narls, and he was paid for the day.
Forget it, for the sake of money, even in the face of such an ugly girl, he can only admit it.
"Shall we start classes?"
The one across from Norman was the first to speak, breaking the relative silence in the living room.
Norman looked and saw that the other party was looking at him, and his eyes were very cold.
Norman nodded, "Well, yes." "But my heart is tight.
He was thinking about Yinnar just now, and he forgot to think about how to mess up this job!
"The job is very simple, it is to teach the old language, and I am sure you are very good at it, Mr. Norman. The only thing that needs to be explained is that during this month, your teaching object is only my daughter...... She is a smart girl, she studied with Mr. Benson in District 3, she is very talented in ancient languages, and she has learned a lot, but as you know, the quality of group teaching is not very good after all, and the exams in the church school are still a month away...... I hope that you, Mr. Norman, will help her to improve her in the old language even more during this month, and I believe that this is not a problem for a good mage like you......"
Colin's words flashed through Norman's mind.
How did he know what the hell the old sayings meant!
Not to mention teaching this little girl.
Norman didn't know how to start, but the little girl, Peggy, was quite assertive and spoke first.
"Mr. Norman, where do we start?"
This was urging Norman, which made Norman even more nervous, and couldn't help but look at her, seeing that her eyes were a little wrong, and she was staring at herself tightly, and the corner of her mouth was slightly hooked.
This clown girl seems to see his fake identity? Is this teasing him?
Norman was right, Peggy was teasing her - in reality, she didn't think it was a mage, she knew full well that it was a liar.
How could a mage be like this?!
The chicken's nest-like messy hair is knotted, his face is covered with black and yellow dirt, and his clothes are full of patches and many potholes, and he doesn't even wear underwear. And the most outrageous thing is that this guy, who was considered a mage by his father, actually exudes a strong smell of urine on his body, and there are hard lumps of urine on his clothes after drying urine!
This is simply a beggar who ran out of nowhere, how could my father think he was a mage?!
But it doesn't matter, she'll be able to demolish him in no time.
This situation reminded Peggy of some of the stories that Mr. Benson had told them, including the story of a smart and kind little mage who used her wisdom to expose the clown's lies and get the other party punished, and she seemed to be the little mage at the moment......
People are ugly and have bad eyes!
Looking at Peggy's expression, Norman could vaguely guess that the other party was ill-intentioned, so he cursed viciously in his heart.
Then he rolled his eyes, and in a hurry, he thought of a way.
"Let me know the basics of your ancient language. ”
Norman looked left and right, his eyes fixed on the table, on which several blank pieces of parchment were neatly stacked on top of each other, quill pens and inkwell boxes placed in an orderly manner aside, all of which Colin had prepared on purpose.
"You draw all the ancient words you know, read them out again, one by one, and I'll see how your foundation is. ”
Although I don't know what the ancient words in Colin's mouth are, it is not difficult to see from today's events that the voices he heard and the patterns he saw when he was a child are those ancient words.
Norman knew that the structure of those old words was very complicated, and there were so many different old sayings that he didn't know if it would take him a few days to draw them all, so he asked this ugly girl with a bad heart to paint her skills, which would delay a little time, and give him a little more time to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
After listening to Norman's words, Peggy lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment.
She seemed to think that Norman's words had some truth, so she grabbed a piece of parchment, picked up a quill pen, and began to draw the old words on it seriously, while Norman hastened to remember.
Confess to Peggy that he doesn't know anything about this old saying, that he is a fake mage who cheats and cheats money, a liar? No, now he only has 2 silver narls and fifty ...... Norman, who didn't know how to read or count, couldn't do the math at all.
But whatever, there are still a lot of Yinnar who haven't gotten their hands on it anyway, so why do you have to continue to pretend to be a mage.
But if she doesn't admit it, how can she teach Peggy? It doesn't seem impossible to talk nonsense? Anyway, according to what she sees with her left eye, find a random one that Peggy hasn't drawn, and talk nonsense, she doesn't know if what she said is right or wrong, isn't this just a mess? Well, it seems to be feasible......
Before Norman could fully figure it out, Peggy's voice came.
"Alright. ”
