Wizard: I can extract identities
Chapter 33: Transaction (Please read on, please read on!)
As the ten magic stones were bought, the auction came to an end, and people kept getting up and leaving.
Viscount Noas also bought what he wanted, and left with Ximan contentedly.
But as soon as they walked out of the private room, they ran into the Hollar family who were also about to leave.
"Viscount Noas, how about we go back together? I just have something to talk to you about!" Hollar invited with a smile.
"This... of course no problem! Mr. Hollar, I actually have the idea of talking to you too!" Viscount Noas originally intended to refuse Hollar, but when he saw Hollar take out a cloth bag from his waist, he immediately changed his attitude and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Viscount Noas knew Hollar's purpose very well. The other party just wanted to trade with him using magic stones, so he readily agreed.
After the two looked at each other, they both smiled knowingly and walked towards the door, exchanging polite greetings with each other.
When they reached the square outside the auction house, the two stopped talking, got on their respective carriages, and drove away one after the other.
In the carriage behind, Horal looked at his daughter and asked with a smile: "Susan, what do you think of Ximan?"
Susan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what her father meant. She lowered her head with a slightly red face and said softly: "Very good..."
Arranged marriages are a very common phenomenon in this world, especially for women. Most daughters of nobles will be arranged to marry to consolidate the status of the family. Moreover, because both men and women can benefit from the marriage, marriage is very common among nobles, and even forms a certain habit and tacit understanding.
Viscount Noas and Elena are typical examples.
Not to mention that the Horal family is not aristocratic in the strict sense, so they need to marry with nobles to improve their status. Ximan is undoubtedly a good choice.
From the perspective of age and appearance, the age difference between Ximan and Susan is not big, and Ximan is quite handsome, so the Hollar couple thinks that Ximan and Susan are very suitable, and Susan is also satisfied with Ximan's appearance.
As for status, Ximan, as the heir of the viscount, has a much higher status than them. Normally, Ximan's marriage partners should be those viscount families, or even earl families. Lord families like them are not qualified at all.
Now it is not a question of whether they want to marry or whether Susan is satisfied, but whether Viscount Noas is willing.
Hearing his daughter's words, Horal nodded with satisfaction, and then he said earnestly: "Susan, this opportunity is a rare opportunity for both you and our family. You must seize it, understand?"
Susan nodded: "I know, I will work hard."
…………
Both carriages stopped in front of a white three-story building. An old man in a tuxedo, with gray hair and dressed like a butler came forward and greeted Ximan and the others eagerly.
The Horal family then got off the carriage and followed into the house.
Everyone entered a spacious and gorgeous hall, which was decorated magnificently and luxuriously. The magnificent crystal chandelier flickered with a hazy light. There were exquisite oil paintings on the walls. A huge round table was placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by a circle of backrest chairs.
Several people sat down on the soft backrest chairs, and the maids on the side hurriedly served drinks.
Horal took the drink brought by the maid and took a sip, put down the cup, and told the old man standing next to him: "Al, we have something to talk about, let them all go down!"
"Yes!" The old man nodded respectfully, turned around and took all the maids away.
After all the servants had left, Horal looked at Viscount Noas and asked: "Viscount Noas, is Ximan engaged?"
Hearing Horal's question, Viscount Noas shook his head: "I have this idea, but I haven't put it into action yet, and Ximan doesn't seem to have any plans to get married for the time being."
"Oh?" Horal raised his eyebrows: "What does Viscount Noas think of my daughter Susan? It just so happens that Susan has a good impression of Ximan."
Horal was secretly happy when he heard that Ximan was not engaged. As for Viscount Noas's words that Ximan didn't want to get engaged, in Horal's view, it was completely an excuse.
Susan, who was sitting on the side and had been secretly looking at Ximan with her peripheral vision, smiled and nodded shyly when she saw Viscount Noyas looking at her.
Seeing this, Viscount Noyas narrowed his eyes. Susan's appearance was indeed beautiful, and under the training of the Horal couple, she also had the temperament of a noble lady. Except for her poor status, there was nothing wrong with her.
"I believe Mr. Horal also knows the purpose of our auction of magic stones. Ximan wants to participate in the wizard qualification test in the near future and wants to embark on the path of wizards, so he may not be engaged for the time being." Viscount Noyas took a sip of the drink in front of him and said slowly.
The matter of the wizard qualification test is not a secret in Silas. Almost everyone except the civilians knows about it. Horal is also a well-known businessman in Silas, so he naturally knows about it.
"This is even better! Our Susan will also take the wizard qualification test. If both of them have the qualifications, wouldn't it be more suitable? They can just accompany each other!" Horar said with a smile.
Hearing Horar's words, Noah frowned immediately: "Yes, if this is true, it is indeed a pleasant thing, but if Susan does not have the wizard qualifications at that time, what should we do?"
Horar was silent for a moment, suddenly raised his head, looked at Viscount Noas and said: "Then you can only blame Susan herself. How about this, whether Susan has wizard qualifications or not, the bag of magic stones belongs to Ximan, but if Susan and Ximan both have wizard qualifications, then Ximan and Susan will be engaged. What do you think, Viscount Noas?"
Hearing this, Viscount Noas immediately fell into hesitation.
Horar did not urge him, and drank coffee leisurely.
In fact, Horal had not mentioned two situations. One was that if Susan had wizard qualifications and Heman did not, then the marriage would naturally be out of the question. The other was that if neither of them had wizard qualifications, then the marriage would still be established as agreed.
Both Horal and Viscount Noyers were smart people, so they naturally did not need to reveal all the situations.
