Reborn as the Greatest Talent of the Noble Family Chapter 328

Episode 328

214. Imperial Knights Camp (2)

Marquis of Ceylon.

Although he is a capital noble, his prestige is not very high.

Of course, being a noble living in the capital itself adds a lot to your reputation, but there are always exceptions.

– I think I learned that.

This is the case of the Marquis of Ceylon.

“Have you heard my name?”

“no.”

“okay… … .”

The guy seemed to become sullen, but then he opened his mouth again.

“Well, you will find out soon. I must, must, must achieve excellent results in this camp! “I’m going to join the Knights!”

“okay.”

“… … “Have you really never heard my name?”

“huh.”

All you need to know is the family name. Do you have to memorize everything one by one?

Maybe it’s the day before the prom.

Of course, I remember all the names I learned.

But the fact that I really can’t remember proves that the Marquis of Ceylon had very low status in the capital.

It’s a family that isn’t that ‘important’, or to be exact, isn’t recognized very much even among nobles.

Because I lost out in a power struggle.

Well, that’s their situation and I’m not evaluating it that way.

“I will definitely build a family.”

“okay. Right.”

“I will definitely prove it, and in my generation, I will revive the family and regain its former reputation.”

“I hope it goes well.”

“Yes, I thought you would understand. Dane Sogress, I thought you were very arrogant from the rumors.”

Oh, is that so?

The blonde-haired guy continued talking non-stop after that.

To a certain extent, I, who maintains my composure and calmness, was wondering whether I should request a change of carriage.

“… … At this camp, all kinds of people come from all over the empire. A ruined family like mine… … No, even the children of families who are looked down upon… … .”

Meanwhile, I focused on the sounds coming from outside the carriage.

“Damn it, let’s all ride together? What is this… … .”

“No disturbance will be tolerated. “If you don’t want to get on, you can leave immediately.”

One by one, it seems like other residents besides me and this guy are coming in.

Most people are upset at the fact that they have to squeeze into this carriage.

“Damn, wasn’t it camp? If it’s a camp, it’s okay… … .”

“Using harsh words also includes making a fuss.”

“… … .”

As I listened to the voice coming from outside, I suddenly became suffocated.

It reminds me of my past life.

It was like that when new recruits came in.

As new soldiers came from all over, they were treated several times more roughly than before.

“Why are you laughing?”

Diego Ceylon asked at that time.

“After all, it’s fun talking to me, right? “Thanks to my words, I’ve had a number of ladies chasing me because they like me.”

It seems more convincing that he chased after me to claim compensation because his ears started bleeding while listening.

Anyway, the commotion outside quickly quieted down.

The sound of people getting into the empty carriage one after another was heard –

“What, someone came first? “Is this really all there is?”

People started getting into our carriage too.

“Get on.”

“I can’t help it. This damn capital is really… … .”

The guy who came in was slim but quite tall.

The guy with a fierce look looked around the inside of the carriage and frowned.

“It’s not even a chicken coop. Damn it. If I had known this would happen, I would have come a long time ago. The other carriages were full. Hey, everyone get in!”

And some guys riding next.

The carriage that Diego and I were riding in was full, holding all eight people.

The guy glanced at me and tilted his head.

“I’ve heard a lot about this appearance, but if it’s silver hair… … Sogress? Yes, that’s right. Dane Sogress. “I heard a rumor, but I never thought he would actually come.”

Then, suddenly, he smiles and holds out his hand.

“nice to meet. “I am Milton Dalahan, the second son of the Northern Count Dalahan.”

“This is Dane Sogress. The Count of Sogres… … .”

“He is the eldest son and a genius known throughout the empire. “Well, I’m lucky to be on this carriage.”

The guy kept grinning.

“Looking at this camp, you must be at the top level. In that sense, would you like to join us?”

When I didn’t answer, wondering what he was talking about, he quickly continued.

“The purpose of this camp is to select outstanding players, and in the process, we see team play.”

iced coffee.

I get it roughly.

So, scouting suggestion.

“It’s kind of a scouting offer. how is it?”

I looked at their faces.

Unique clothing style.

They are all from the north.

“By the way, we already formed a team. They’re all from the North. “We in the North usually stick together, but for you, it’s a different story.”

I guessed one possibility.

Considering the unique tendency of the northern people to be hostile towards the capital, the fact that children of northern noble families came together to participate in the ‘Imperial Knights’ camp… … .

“And as you may have noticed, we are not all eldest sons. “Just looking at me, I’m the second son.”

This means that these are people who are far from the center of power.

“A lot of guys are going to make offers to you anyway. Join their ‘team’. “It’s a rule that doesn’t officially exist, of course, but everyone who comes to camp participates in the ‘team.’”

Therefore, I think I will continue to receive numerous scouting offers.

Needless to say, he’s probably the strongest among all the guys gathered here at camp.

but-

“no. be not interested in.”

Paradoxically, I have no interest in forming such a team.

“… … “Why?”

My goal is not to join the Imperial Knights.

And I’m here to have fun, so I’m not really interested in dividing into factions and competing.

Of course, it would be too long to explain everything, so I answered simply.

“I’m not interested.”

“… … .”

The guy looked at me with a puzzled expression, and Diego, who was next to him, suddenly jumped out.

“What about me? “I am Diego Ceylon, the Marquis Diego, who is famous even in the capital!”

“iced coffee. “You mean that family that was pushed out?”

“… … .”

Diego immediately became quiet due to the mockery that followed.

“No matter how much we gathered together as second sons, it’s not enough to break our principles.”

Milton is no longer smirking, but snickering.

The guy turned his head towards me again.

“Dane, did you already get an offer before we came? Be honest. “We can give you more than that.”

I got curious.

I wonder what these guys who ignore Diego Ceylon can do to appeal to me.

“Say anything. “We will do anything we can to help.”

But saying this without suggesting something first means you’re either overconfident or you don’t have much to offer.

These guys are both.

So I didn’t change my answer.

“I’m not really interested.”

“… … “It would be close to impossible for you to carry out this camp program alone.”

“You’ll know that when you see it.”

Clap.

Meanwhile, the carriage departed.

At the same time, there is a chilling tension.

Of course, it only applies to that side.

Because there was absolutely no change in my heartbeat.

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes.

Either Diego or those guys.

I hope you don’t disturb my rest with useless words. * * *

Imperial Knights Camp.

This event, which was held to secure talent in advance and also to understand the current situation of families in various parts of the continent, was celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

‘What kind of guys are coming in this time?’

And the person in charge of this camp is Simon Aldevar, the eldest son of the Aldevar family and a member of the Second Imperial Knights.

Lord Aldevar was hoping that this time everything would end without incident.

“The problem is that there is too much competition, that’s the problem.”

He mutters as if he is fed up.

If it’s a problem, it’s a problem.

People from all over the empire come with the hope of joining the Imperial Knights.

Some come to build connections or purely for training, but there are very few.

Most of them eventually catch the eye of the Imperial Knights, and based on that, they aim to join the Imperial Knights.

So accidents often happen.

It is common for people to fight because they are overly controlling, and the resentment continues even after leaving camp.

For reference, there was even bloodshed at the last jockey camp.

It was somehow resolved well, but if something like that happens again… … .

“No, no. “You have to do well.”

This is a camp watched over by His Majesty the Emperor.

even… … .

This time, the greatest talent of all time is participating in this camp.

“Is this your first time participating in the Count of Sogres?”

Two of the greatest nobles in the empire.

Duke Termion.

and the Counts of Sogres.

Some even consider the Counts of Sogres to be higher than Termion.

Because he reigns as the head of the nobility in the southern part of the country with abundant resources and warm nature.

However, the problem is not this background.

A boy favored by His Majesty the Emperor.

The best talent in the empire.

More specifically, he is a boy with the greatest talent in swordsmanship, magic, spearmanship, and summoning.

“How can a guy like this exist?”

Lord Aldevar guessed that it was an exaggerated rumor.

I heard a story.

But rumors are often exaggerated.

You will find out when you see it for yourself.

“Lord Aldevar, all participants have completed their registration.”

The report I heard at that time.

“Good job. Always keep a close eye on them. “I don’t know when His Majesty the Emperor will come out for inspection.”

His Majesty the Emperor is an unpredictable person.

If they showed any signs of fighting… … .

No, he may suddenly burst into laughter and say that he likes him when he sees that kind of person, but you still have to avoid what you want to avoid.

Didn’t the old saying say to avoid showers?

“How are the participants?”

“As expected, he is not much different from his previous jockey. “Factions were already divided.”

Sir Aldevar chuckled.

“In the end, there are at most one or two people left.”

It’s always been like that.

Each time the camp progressed, each person took sides and cooperated for their own reasons.

However, in the end, only one or two people were selected at the end and recorded the highest score.

rest of it?

If you’re lucky, you’ll be noticed, but most of the time, you’ll actually be ‘eliminated’.

Of course, this camp does not discriminate between ‘eliminated’ and ‘passed’ candidates, but it does not meet the goal of ‘knights’, which is the goal of most participants.

“What caught your eye?”

“This time, it was divided by region, but the northern and eastern regions stand out the most.”

“North and East. “These are places that are not very close to the capital.”

Because the North is a land of extreme cold and their own laws are considered more important.

Because there is still a war going on in the East.

“What about the West?”

“The western side is united, but there doesn’t seem to be any particular organization.”

“hmm. Right. So what about the South?”

Lord Aldevar thought that the guy would naturally belong in the South.

But no.

“The southern part… … “It’s a little ambiguous.”

“It’s ambiguous?”

“yes. It appears that Dane Sogress did not go south.”

“… … what?”

Lord Aldevar narrowed his brows.

“A son of the Count of Sogres, the center of the southern nobility, doesn’t get along with the guys in the south?”

Then the North?

Or the East?

Either that or… … Has a third force been formed?

“It didn’t go either way. “It looks like he intends to be alone.”

Lord Aldevar’s expression was filled with bewilderment.
