Talent Store - Chapter 4

Cloud’s Dungeon (1)

People say,

‘The cloud’s star will regain the glory of the past.’

It’s been a year since Astin left for the Knights Class in the Valencian Empire.

He was also highly regarded in the Empire. Not only did he possess great talent, but he also said that many nobles coveted him within the Valencian Empire because of his excellent character.

The news of Astin’s victory spread to the kingdom of Rhodes and eventually managed to build their reputation.

It was said that the royal family supported the costs of entering the knights class. They even accepted them as a member of the Royal Knights of Rhodes after finishing the four-year course for knights.

If you are a knight of the royal family, that’s the most honorable position that the Knights of the Lord Rhodes want!

For this reason, the Cloud family has

not changed due to the walk of the fall.

Astin’s share price has been increasing day by day, as noble families have already started interacting with the Cloud family.

However, bright light is accompanied by a dark shadow.

People praised Austin but added this later.

‘But what’s clear is that the Cloud’s bluntness is a bit of Austin’s honor.’

People pointed their fingers at Evan.

In a year, people called him the cloud of the Clouds.

What happened a year ago changed Evan’s life. What Evan tried to do for the sword was that he loved the sword, but others’ eyes also influenced it.

Because Evan’s older brother was a genius, people wanted Evan to be like him.

Evan tried to meet their expectations, and he tried not to become a disappointment.

However, a year ago, Evan realized that he shouldn’t care about other people, and he didn’t need to please them.

Since then, it has begun to take what others call qi-heung.

First, Evan worked extremely hard at sword fighting. He Significantly reduced the rest time that was allowed to himself and focused only on the sword. Then he went outside to be taught.

Among the general public, there were many rumored to be good at handling swords, and Evan visited them.

They thought that their rich experience would help them, even if they were lower than the family of knights.

Despite being a nobleman, Evan bowed his head to the common people for teaching him. The noble’s request could not be rejected by the commoners, so he accepted it, and thus, Evan’s journey began.

At first, many praised Evan’s will for the sword. It would be worthy of applause to try to increase his talent.

However, as time passed, his reputation changed.

The fact that there wasn’t a lot of work compared to trying made Evan question himself.

It seems to be trying on the outside, but it may be that he has no achievement because the reality is different. How could a genius Astin’s brother be so talented?

As Evan, who had been veiled, came out of the world, people thought that Evan would be a genius like Astin. So he was praised at first, but it soon turned into a pessimistic gaze because of their unmet expectations.

People pointed to Evan because his brother was so brilliant.

Astin’s younger brother did not think of elevating his brother’s honor. Instead, he blamed him for being the cause of defamation.

His effort, which lacked in talent, was so inefficient and stupid.

“Thank you.”

Martin smiled nicely as he bowed and said hello.

“No. I am sorry that my teaching did not help.”

“It was good enough. The experiences I experienced on the battlefield you told me will be a great foundation for my sword fighting.”

Martin was a mercenary based in Valencia, but he returned to his hometown a while ago.

When he was using swords well, he was famous enough to be called the wolf of the cloud, but it was all in vain now.

However, Evan came to ask about the news he heard.

At first, he tried to reject Evan’s request to pass on his experience in swordsmanship and his experiences as a mercenary.

It was because it was the first time he heard that a nobleman bowed to the common people and asked for teaching.

So he thought that he was playing with her, but Evan’s eyes proved his words true. Eventually, Martin agreed and passed on the teaching for a month.

Later, Martin was sincerely treating Evan as he listened and tried.

“I’m really sorry. If only you have talent, you would have been a great swordfighter.”

Martin murmured as he looked at Evan’s back.

People say.

Evan is a dune who crushes his family’s reputation.

However, Martin’s thoughts of experiencing Evan were different. Of course, you can say that by looking only at the talents of Aura, but mixed with his hands, his black experience was different.

More than 10,000 hours of effort.

Evan’s black martin, which contained so much effort, lived and drew a beautiful line that counted in his hand.

* * *

“Hah, it was a failure to show aura’s talent again this time.”

Martin’s teachings were very helpful. Apparently, the various experiences experienced on the battlefield and the lessons that could be applied in practice would become blood and flesh.

However, he couldn’t find a way to cause Aura, which is a fundamental problem, as he progressed toward swordsmanship. He was disappointed, but Evan was all over that.

No matter how harsh the reality was, Evan was not willing to give up his sword.

His realizations a year ago was a reminder of his will for the sword.

Since he really loved the sword, he did not intend to throw it away, no matter what adversity he faced.

No matter how much others point their finger at him as having no talent.

‘People’s eyes don’t help me.’

When he first started traveling, he listened to people. However, he realized that such an act only raised mental anxiety, and he closed his ears.

The bitter sound that helped him was sweet, but the words he simply criticized shed.

No matter how others criticize him, he controls his life.

Evan wasn’t willing to do what he was really trying to do because of his words.

On the contrary, if you are a person with a swordsmanship experience as you see them, whether they are ordinary people or whatever, they go and bow their heads.

Of course, there was a significant backlash over Evan’s journey within the family. It was controversial that it was a loss of honor for the family. Still, Robert did not directly condemn Evan’s actions.

Perhaps Robert is vaguely guessing why Evan is doing this.

He couldn’t help Evan to find a way with his situation, and he couldn’t support what his son was trying to do.

“I have to go see the poet for a minute.”

After the incident a year ago, Evan’s changed his routine once more.

Evan had a hobby other than sword fighting. HE didn’t invest much time on it because he had to focus on the sword, but he took some time to learn other hobbies.

A year ago, he learned to draw a picture from a famous street painter, and he was praised for drawing well.

Now he was learning Lira (a string instrument, a harp-like form) from a poet in Valencia. Still, he was able to quickly discover that he had talent as an artist.

In fact, the reason people criticized Evan included this hobby.

When the characters acted as if they were trying so hard to learn pictures and learn to play musical instruments, people were convinced that he wasn’t doing the right thing.

If he has tried sincerely, shouldn’t the results already come out? Even though he had mastered the sword for more than 7 years, they couldn’t see any talent.

Of course, there will be no swordfighter who will learn the sword for 7 years with such a terrible talent. Anyway, people thought Evan was just trying to show others.

Whatever the truth, Evan’s presence was perfect prey for people. His brother was too great and had no corner to blame, while Evan, who had many flaws, was the target of the people and was bitterly bitten.

If you know the truth, people will make excuses like this.

He wouldn’t have been accused like that if he hadn’t had a hobby that encouraged their criticism.

However, for Evan, his hobby was never simple.

“I think playing Lira will relieve me of your current feelings.”

The stuffiness that comes from the vague wielding of an unskilled sword, and sometimes its breathlessness.

Hobbies were the elements that made him breathe freely. The painter on the street that Evan met by chance handed over the brush to Evan.

Evan, who thoughtlessly painted, was amazed at the words of the painter.

‘You are talented in painting. If you learn, your skills will increase soon. ‘

It was the first time he heard it. The words became a cool breeze and relieved the frustrating feelings in his heart.

So there was a time when he was crazy about painting. He wasn’t afraid of homelessness following a street painter. He returned to his sane spirit and focused himself on the sword, but since that day, his hobby has never stopped.

He could hear compliments that he could not hear if he didn’t have his hobbies.

Even though everyone criticized Evan, it served as a support for his journey.
