Chapter 51 The Door That Won't Open
The black-robed mage Lambert that Colin was talking about lived in the second district. Norman rushed to this district not long after the 2 clock struck. After searching for the place according to Colin's description, he successfully found the black-robed mage. Mage's home.

It was a small three-story building, the whole body was made of neatly piled stones, but the front door was very ordinary, just a simple door. If no one pointed it out, they would have no idea that this was the residence of the black-robed mage... Peggy said that all mages will be canonized as nobles, so Norman has been looking for small castles like Lord Barton before, and has never paid attention to such inconspicuous houses, so it is no wonder that he has not found them, indeed. I didn't expect the black-robed mage to live in such a low-key and inconspicuous place.

Compared with other districts, there are obviously many pedestrians in the second district. The flow of people on the street is very thin, and there are only two or three people sporadically at the end of this street.

Norman subconsciously looked around, adjusted his clothes, stroked his hair, and after making sure that everything was as Gawain ordered, he went to the door and knocked lightly.

He kept Gao Wen's instructions in mind, and was afraid that knocking too many times would arouse the mage's dislike, so he knocked twice before stopping, and then stood in front of the door and waited quietly.

For a long time, there was no response.

did not hear?
Norman went up to knock on the door again, knocking a few more times this time, and then stood at the door to wait, but after half a day, no one came to answer the door.

Then Norman heard a voice behind him.

"Don't knock, it's a magic portal, if you keep knocking, the people inside won't hear it."

Norman turned his head and saw a fat man standing a few steps behind him, his eyes were smiling, he looked very kind, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The fat man was wearing black and white clothes, the style was very good, and it didn't look cheap.And on the left hand side of the fat man stood a guy in his 20s, wearing gray clothes, who looked like a servant.

"Hello,"

The fat man greeted Norman first, "I'm Gotha Brown."

Norman also said his name, "Norman." Then asked him: "You just said the magic portal? What is that?"

Fatty Gotha explained: "This door is a magic portal with spells cast on it. Only guests allowed by the owner of this magic portal can enter, and no matter how loud you knock, no one inside will hear you. Some Mages who like to study spells quietly like to use this kind of door, so sales have always been good..."

It turned out that there was a spell cast on this door!This also made Norman more sure that the black-robed mage Lambert was indeed living here, and he did not find the wrong place.

"You are also here to find Master Lambert?"

This fat, smiling Gotha is very talkative. Even though he met Norman just now, he chatted like a familiar friend, "You don't look like a nobleman, do you?" (Norman shook his head) Indeed, Cadena With so many black-robed mages, probably only mage Lambert can accept commoners like us as students..."

It's not long after 2 o'clock in the morning, and it's still early in the morning, but even in the early morning, the summer sun is very poisonous. Fatty Gotha couldn't stand it after standing under the sun for a while, and sweat dripped from his forehead. Come out and hang on your face.After he wiped it off, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Let's stop standing here, let's talk under the shadow over there."

Probably because fat people are naturally afraid of the heat, but Norman didn't feel how hot it was, but he nodded and went to the opposite side with Gotha - the house there just blocked the sun, cast a shadow, and looked very cool .And just opposite Lambert's house, you can see the door of Lambert's house, so if Lambert opens the door suddenly, you won't miss it.

Norman sat down straight away when he got here, but that fat Gotha was particular about it, and asked his servant to spread a piece of cloth on the ground before sitting down.

"Which gentleman did you study with?"

"Franklin."

"Mr. Franklin? I know, he is a very good gentleman in the third district. I heard that his ability in ancient language is not inferior to that of many black-robed mages, but unfortunately, he is just a mage apprentice..."

"Mage apprentice?"

"The so-called 'grey-robed mage' is actually a mage apprentice, and the black-robed mage is the real mage. You don't even know this? Then let me tell you..."

Gotha knew quite a lot, more than the students of Franklin. Under Gotha's explanation, Norman finally had a general understanding of the profession of "mage".

Only those who can cast spells are real mages. There are also grades in mages. According to the level of ability, from low to high, they are divided into black robe mages, red robe mages, blue robe mages, and white robe mages.And under the black-robed mage, there is another default category, that is, mage apprentice, which refers to a person who knows all kinds of knowledge of mages but cannot use their own power to cast spells, between ordinary people and mages Between, Franklin is such a person.

The two chatted and chatted, and the morning passed. Gotha went to have lunch and left first, while Norman continued to wait here for the door to open.In the afternoon, Gotha came again and waited here like Norman, but waiting was really boring, so the two chatted for another afternoon, and they didn't leave until the 7 clock struck.

In this way, three days passed.

Norman and Gotha, the pair of brothers who have nothing to do, just sit opposite Lambert's house every day, waiting for the door to be opened, but the door has never been opened.

"Among the black-robed mages in Cardenas, Mr. Lambert is also an outlier. He doesn't care about receptions and socializing at all. He is only interested in spells. It is common for him not to go out for more than ten days. There is a black-robed The mage once said a joke, saying that if possible, he could stay in this small building for the rest of his life..."

"Being his student is harder than being a student of other black-robed mages. I often follow him to do magic experiments, but I can't come out for more than ten days. Although there is food and drink inside, and you can take a bath, everything Don't worry, but if you are always locked in the house and can't come out, people will be suffocated, not everyone is like him..."

This kind of person is the guy most feared by the Knights Templar.

The Knights Templar are not afraid of powerful guys, cunning guys, or wise guys, but they are afraid of this kind of faceless guy!Because as long as the other party doesn't show up and don't give Norman the opportunity to contact them, then they won't be able to collect relevant data about the other party. Without the data, there is no way to analyze it, and there is no way to formulate countermeasures. They can only wait for Norman to open their eyes and wait.

But waiting is not an option, after all, time is running out.

After waiting in vain for three days without any results, the entrance exam is less than half a month away, and the most desperate thing is that this kind of waiting does not know when it will be the end, after all, according to what Gotha said Well, this Lambert can not go out for more than ten days, and it is possible that he will not come out until the day of the entrance examination.

But there was nowhere else to go but Lambert.

According to Fatty Gotha, he has already visited several black-robed mages in Cardenas, but because of his status as a commoner, those black-robed mages are unwilling to accept him as a student, and they don't even want to listen to him. In the end, he could only come to Lambert to try his luck.So this is why Gotha continued to be willing to wait even after waiting for three days in vain.

Because for civilians like them, this is the last hope.

So although waiting is not an option, they can only continue to wait-of course, the Knights Templar will not be hanged on a tree, they have already prepared for not being able to take the entrance exam, and even started to do it. The second set of development route plans.

And on the fourth night, just as Norman and Gotha chatted for another day and were about to part ways and go back to sleep in the evening, the door they thought would never be opened finally opened.
