Chapter 1345 Lorraine 33
Lorraine yawned: "They're here because of their status as a chosen one of the gods. I've already decided not to communicate with the gods. I'm just an ordinary magician, so there's no need for us to cross paths."
“Their ambition is written all over their eyes, and I don’t want to be someone else’s stepping stone.” Lorraine said lazily, “Why don’t you help me choose, elder sister? You’re so good at judging people, you’ll definitely choose a very good one.”
Tan You placed a piece, and Tartarus, on the opposite side, dejectedly threw the piece back onto the board: "You won again. How can you, little girl, have such a deep mind?"
Tan You began to gather the chess pieces: "Practice makes perfect."
"Lorraine Houston, are you really going to let me choose a husband for you?"
Lorraine didn't hesitate this time: "Let my eldest sister choose for me. I'm not good at judging people, but the person my eldest sister chooses will definitely be good."
After pondering for a moment, Tan You snapped her fingers, and soon images and information of the many young men who came to participate in the son-in-law selection event appeared in the attic.
These images floated in space like cards. Tan You flicked her fingers, and the cards spun rapidly until only one image of a silver-haired man remained.
Lorraine gave him a critical look: "He looks... very ordinary."
His appearance could only be described as decent, but he had a pair of smiling eyes that gave him a gentle look. Even so, Lorraine, who was somewhat attracted to good looks, couldn't quite accept it at first.
Tan You opened the other person's profile: "Antonio, 39 years old, nine-star greatsword master, three years older than you."
"He is your destined partner. Once you miss him, your marriage prospects in this life will be over."
Lorraine pouted: "It has to be him? He's really... not handsome."
"Can good looks put food on the table?" Tan You directly used Tartarus as an example: "Look at him, and you'll know that a man's character is not reflected in his appearance, but in his strength."
"A nine-star swordsman under 40 years old is extremely rare on the continent. More importantly, he is chaste and upright. In my opinion, he has no marriage line and is even still a virgin."
"And you..." Tan You didn't finish her sentence, and she didn't need to; those who understood, understood. Compared to Antonio, Lorraine's experiences were anything but simple, especially her past with Williams...
And yet they still complain about Antonio.
Compared to Antonio, Lorraine is undoubtedly less pure.
Lorraine looked somewhat flustered: "I understand, I'll go and find out about him."
She went to observe Antonio more closely, leaving only Tan You and Tartarus in the attic. This time, Tartarus refused to play chess, instead pouring himself a cup of tea: "This young man is not good enough for Lorraine; Lorraine is out of her league."
Tan You poured herself some tea: "That day in the forest, I saw his love star move."
"Some people just like this kind of affectation. Of course, part of the reason is that Lorraine is indeed very beautiful."
“Back then, I calculated that he and Lorraine were a rare and perfect match. If Lorraine missed him, she could still live a good life, but it would not be as fulfilling as being with him.”
"Life can't be the same no matter who you live it with."
Tartarus asked with great interest, "What is the Red Phoenix Star? Tell me in detail?"
Tan You glanced at him helplessly: "Are you curious about our local constellations?" Tartarus nodded: "Yes."
Tan You explained it to him for a while, but the cultivation systems of the East and West are completely different, and Tartarus soon became dizzy and confused. He sighed, "This is really difficult. When Antonio comes to me, I must take a closer look and see what this Red Phoenix Star is."
"So you guessed he would come to Silent Hill even though you didn't erase his memory that day?"
Tan You nodded: "More or less. I did not erase his memory, but he can't spread Lorraine's privacy around. Although he doesn't like Lorraine, she is my client, so he still has to protect her."
Tartarus shook his head: "You really predicted everything."
Since meeting Lorraine Houston in the forest that day, Antonio had been following her. With his strength as a nine-star greatswordsman, following Lorraine, this great mage, was naturally a breeze.
Why is it that Lorraine is not yet able to fully control her own power?
He followed Lorraine all the way to Silent Hill, and the longer he followed her, the more he felt that Lorraine Houston was a good person.
In Tan You's eyes, Lorraine was a hopeless romantic, a sinner who betrayed her family for a man. But Antonio believed that Lorraine was simply too young and inexperienced at the time; she hadn't met many people and had simply been deceived by a bad man.
Regardless, her feelings were pure. And now, he wanted that same pure feeling too.
Therefore, after arriving in Silent Hill with Lorraine, Antonio went to register for what was actually a job fair—a search for a son-in-law. Once his identity as a nine-star greatswordsman was revealed, Antonio even met Louis, the current head of the Houston family.
To be honest, the first time Antonio saw Louis, he felt as if he were seeing his elder sister who had suddenly appeared in the dense forest that day.
The two women didn't resemble each other physically, but their spirit was very similar. The elder sister looked particularly gentle, always wearing a smile. Louis was the same, except that his cultivation wasn't quite there yet, giving off a more like a smiling tiger vibe.
Louis was also somewhat surprised when he met Antonio. A 39-year-old greatswordsman, his talent was not just good, but extremely good.
Even Tan You only reached the level of a nine-star Grand Mage at the age of 30, and advanced to the level of a God of Law at the age of 32. In Louis's eyes, Tan You was the epitome of a prodigy.
Later, when Lorraine awoke, Tan You relinquished control of her body, causing Lorraine's cultivation level to drop from God of Magic to a Nine-Star Grand Mage. As for God of Magic, she would need to cultivate diligently on her own to reach that level.
But Antonio had genuinely mastered the skills to become a nine-star greatswordsman. Louis was extremely envious of that talent.
If the Houston family had a child with such talent, their glory would surely be even greater.
After these thoughts crossed his mind, Louis was particularly polite to Antonio: "Good day, Mr. Antonio, you can just call me Louis."
Antonio smiled particularly gently: "Good day, Your Excellency Louis, just call me by my first name. What would you like to ask?"
Both were intelligent men. A glance exchanged, and after a couple of cups of tea in the inner room, they both understood each other's thoughts. Louis wanted Antonio to become a son-in-law of the Houston family, hoping to secure a talented heir.
Coincidentally, Antonio came specifically for Lorraine Houston.
The two hit it off immediately, and when they went out together, they were as close as brothers, almost as if they were walking arm in arm.
