I Regressed to My Ruined Family

I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 84

＃When they returned, the family was ruined (85)

Members of noble families over 20 years old. Ethan looked at the document containing their personal details.

‘All five of you are here.’

The people I paid most attention to were these five.

Starting from those whose names I had at least heard of in a previous life, to those who had quite a great reputation. It was a diverse group of people.

Among them, there were two people I remembered particularly carefully.

Gailen, the third son of Count Halaim.

‘He was an outstanding administrator.’

If Frexian was a seasoned old general, Gailen could be said to be a young general. In particular, the momentum for urban development planning was such that no one could match it.

In less than three years, one small city he developed was transformed into a mid-sized city that generates cash flow.

‘Of course, it was torn to pieces by the dragon clan to the point that not a single speck of dust was left behind…’

It could be said to be a guarantee check for the future. There was one more familiar person there.

Erkan, the second son of the County of Belmont.

‘He was an administrator who turned a city into a granary.’

He was one of the children of a noble family who had deep knowledge of farming.

The granary area he created greatly compensated for the kingdom’s food shortage caused by the war with the dragon tribe.

Since the two people we were looking at the most came, it was more than 80% successful.

Ethan looked at the interviewer.

As it was an administrative matter, it had been agreed that the interview would be led by Sylvia.

The interview began soon after.

Five children from noble families came inside.

They then looked blankly at the face of Ethan, who seemed to be about the same age as them.

I hastily lowered my head.

“Meet the Duke!”

The only thing that made them ahead of the Duke in front of them was their age.

Ethan looked at the children of the noble family.

“It’s Ethan. Let the interview begin. The questions will be answered by my teacher Lawrence here. If you don’t like the answer there, you are immediately eliminated. Do you understand?”

“…yes!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Lawrence, the salesman sitting next to him.

“First question. “Please tell us the areas you would like to manage.”

That moment.

As many as four out of five people pointed out the count. There was only one person who chose the other option, the Barony.

“You chose the earldom. We will hear from each person individually why they chose Count Territory and how they plan to develop it in the future. Let’s assume your budget is five hundred platinum coins per year. Prince Nelson?”

The son who was called Prince Nelson responded to those words.

“Well… the reason I chose the county is… because the territory is large, there are a lot of resources and a lot of people here…”

“How do you plan to proceed with development?”

“Well…”

“Are you singling out this place simply because the territory is large and wide?”

The interviewee’s mouth closed like a mute after hearing the cold-hearted tactician’s words.

His gaze immediately turned to the peacock sitting next to him.

Duke of Ethan.

He was looking at the agent and himself alternately, smiling as if he was having fun.

“You are eliminated. “Please leave the interview room.”

“…yes.”

One interviewee left the room helplessly. Ethan nodded at that.

Just because we had to establish friendly relations with the central region, we had no intention of uprooting the chaff who had just rushed in without any particular plan.

The number of pieces of land to be governed was fixed, and the number of applicants was nearly twenty.

That’s how people started to split up.

Of the five who had been eyeing it in advance, three took the viscounty territory, and the rest took over the barony territory one by one.

After interviewing up to 15 people, there were only two of the eight territories left.

County of Pernes and County of Amelton. The two territories were different in size from other places.

To be honest, the number of people who would rule this place had already been decided.

Soon the last group came in.

Gailen and Erkan.

It was a group that included these two people.

This time, I asked about the land I wanted.

“This is the County of Pernes.”

“This is the County of Amelton.”

Gailen owns the County of Pernes.

Erkan pointed to the County of Amelton. The same was true for the other three.

Sylvia asked the same question as before to the three people except these two.

Elimination was instantaneous.

Ethan looked at Gailen.

Since these two are important talents, I planned to check them out for myself.

“Now there are only two people left. Guylan. Let me hear your answer first. How do you plan to develop the county?”

“We plan to create a city of culture and pleasure centered around Hermes, the large city of the County of Pernes.”

“A city of culture and pleasure?”

“Except for Londinium, there are no cities in the duchy that can be said to be unique. In order to quickly increase the size of a city, it is necessary to bring in money from outside. In that sense, culture and enjoyment are pretty good tools. “Would you please read it?”

Gailen immediately handed over a pile of documents.

‘Hmm.’

Ethan’s eyes lit up when he saw that. Gailen was a person I had met once in my past life.

The appearance was the same.

However, his personality was completely different.

‘I remember you being very timid.’

In my previous life, I couldn’t even make eye contact with myself.

I remember being quite surprised that such a person had the drive to level a city.

The current Gaelan was completely different. Because he was announcing his plan with his back straight and calm eyes.

When I looked at Sylvia, who was looking at the documents, I saw that she was nodding as well. This probably means that the plan itself is excellent.

A plan to gather all kinds of traveling theater companies and artists, hold festivals, and turn the entire county into a tourist destination. Here, all aspects of entertainment were planned without exception.

‘It’s okay.’

Choice and focus on a limited budget.

From that perspective, it was as if the center had been properly achieved.

If I combined the drive from my previous life with the confident nature of my current life, I might be able to elevate my reputation further than before.

“What about you, Erkan?”

“The County of Amelton is rich in intellectual power and has more water resources than other regions. I want to grow this city well and turn it into a granary that supplies food to the entire duchy. “This is the plan for that.”

Coincidentally, both of them had prepared a plan.

A plan that seems highly feasible within the given budget.

Ethan and Sylvia nodded. It was difficult to find someone more talented than this.

“I passed. “I wish you both the best in the future.”

“thank you!”

“I will do my best!”

The two people shouted loudly.

“I will assign you knights and carriages, so you can move straight toward the two territories.”

“yes!”

The two people left the office.

Count Halaim and Count Belmont.

The two families were powerful noble families in the central region.

Not only did we create a connection with these two, but we also rescued great talent.

‘It could save me some work.’

Southern part of the duchy.

It was as if a foundation for governing the place had been laid.

* * *

Kingdom 7th Street.

All seven family heads gathered in one place.

In addition to the seven heads of the conference hall, there was also a person wearing a dark-colored robe.

“…The Archbishop was also present.”

archbishop.

He was a member of a church that cooperated with the 7 Kingdoms. No one has yet seen his bare face.

A person whose only goal is to check the level of his voice.

He occasionally appeared at the conference hall of the 7th House of the Gada Kingdom.

Like right now.

The archbishop nodded quietly. For a moment, all eyes were focused on him.

“Let the meeting begin. “I believe everyone can guess why we are gathered here today.”

Duke Gerond spoke.

The six heads of the family nodded at those words.

Archduke.

Rumors about him being appointed as the new duke were already shaking the entire kingdom.

“Count Marek, who is here next to me, has experience dealing directly with the Archduke. count. “You explain.”

“yes.”

The Count immediately stepped forward and spoke.

“The Archduke is growing faster than any other knight on the Western Continent. “It is even steeper than the next generation of successors in our kingdom’s 7th family.”

The six heads of the family widened their eyes at those words.

“…Are you saying the Archduke’s skills are at that level? Stronger than the successors of each family?”

“yes. “I think… if it isn’t Prince Mileton, there will be no successor who can deal with the Archduke.”

Mileton Confucius!

Among the seven families’ successors, the most talented person was Mileton, Duke Gerond’s eldest son.

Mileton was not only taught arcane techniques mixed with the secrets of the Balaur clan and the 7th family, but also consumed all kinds of elixirs as if eating a meal, and was even taught the black salt made by the 7th family.

Despite his age of seventeen, he was known to have reached the level of an 8-star knight master.

Mileton was a knight with a talent that even the heads of the six families, excluding the Lacian duchy, could not help but acknowledge.

“…Count Marek. “There is one thing I would like to ask.”

“Please tell me.”

“If you are Prince Mileton, are you sure you can subdue him?”

The Count had clearly used the word ‘matchable’.

If Mileton’s skills were evaluated as overwhelming, the phrase ‘overpowerable’ would have been used.

Marek shook his head quietly.

“I’ll be honest with you. “If the two of them face each other right now, the odds of winning are… I think it’s about 7:3.”

Everyone was shocked.

That meant that Ethan’s odds of winning were as high as 30%.

“Everyone, please look at this document. “This is what the strategic analysis department that accompanied me identified.”

Count Marek handed over the documents.

The eyes of the six household heads widened. Ethan’s level analyzed in the document was said to be close to that of a 7-star expert.

That wasn’t all.

―The response is very skillful, as if he knows the swordsmanship of the dragon people.

-The swordsmanship is perfect. Even Count Marek is expected to fall behind the Archduke in terms of swordsmanship skills alone. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hurt the Count.

―Experience appears as if he has been through hundreds of wars. nineteen. It seems like he would never appear at that age.

“…What!”

“Didn’t the Grand Duke receive any support from his family?”

“How did we achieve this level in just half a year? Count Marek. Is this assessment really accurate? “This is a talent that makes no sense!”

Marek nodded towards the six heads of the family.

“I could bet my head that there wasn’t a single bit of self-interest that went into this evaluation.”

“….”

The second-in-command of the Lacian duchy.

These were the words uttered by the man who dealt directly with the Archduke.

Now I had no choice but to accept it.

“…Good. I understand. However, I cannot understand the archduke’s growth. How can a person reach the state of the Seven Stars in just half a year? “A person who has been down for ten years has tremendous experience!”

“…I made an assumption. Would you like to hear it?”

“…Good.”

Marek said while looking around at the people sitting at the round table.

“Until now, the kingdom’s 7th families knew that the Duke of Ardan fought against the dragon people with pure courage and sacrificed himself. “Isn’t that right?”

“…yes.”

“But… when I think about it now, something is very strange. “No matter how much you hate the dragon race and need to protect your family… did all of your lineage go to war purely with the intention of enduring sacrifice?”

“….”

Everyone was shocked by Marek’s words.
