Super Template System In Marvel and Beyond-Chapter 180: Recruiting Knights

Flash!

Dave opened his eyes to the sound of birds chirping and raised his body. The first thing he did was look for Irene.

"It was totally real" he mumbled as he stood up without disturbing her.

He walked out of the door dressed,

Two maids were waiting for him in front of the door.

"Have you woken up, Sir Dave?"

"I want to wash up, so please guide me to the bathroom."

"Um..."

One maid remained calm, while the other had a more lively nature.

They led him to the washing area, where they quickly began removing his clothes. Their movements were swift and efficient. Dave didn't say anything—it was normal from his perspective. Soon, he was thoroughly cleansed by the hands of the maids.

After finishing, they carefully wiped away all the moisture from his body. Dave then left the bathroom with a calm expression, dressed in freshly prepared clothes—the finest garments worn by nobles.

The maids admired his appearance, their eyes sparkling.

"Sir Dave, you look so cool!"

"That's right! The clothes fit you perfectly, so stand tall with confidence!"

"Lord Steim is waiting for you," one maid said as Dave joined his father-in-law for breakfast. Irene arrived shortly after.

"You two are here," Lord Steim said as they entered.

As they sat down, the Earl suddenly blurted out, "So... did the first night go well?"

Dave looked at him and smirked. "It was great. You can expect a grandson soon."

Lord Steim nodded in satisfaction, while Irene blushed heavily, her face turning bright red.

"Hahahaha!" Earl Steim laughed heartily as he nodded in approval.

"Father, you will be able to see your grandchildren sooner or later. Dave... he is amazing," Irene said with a dreamy smile.

"Ohh! I see! My son-in-law is so great?"

"Yes, he is really amazing. I experienced more than I imagined last night. Perhaps there will be at least five boys in the future. I will give birth to children until I run out of strength and will make Father happy in his old age."

"Yes! I'm looking forward to it! Really looking forward to it! Dave, please use your strength. I want at least ten grandchildren!"

Dave's lips twitched as he looked at his father-in-law. Do you want me to kill your daughter? he thought, shaking his head.

"I will do my best," he said with a forced smile.

Earl Steim nodded in satisfaction.

***

As breakfast ended, Dave left, entrusting the territory to Irene. He was now heading out to hunt and make full use of the 50% experience increase.

"But first, let's recruit the greatest potential talents under me," he mumbled, gripping the new sword he had received from Earl Steim.

Dave smirked as he examined the sword. "With this, finding and nurturing strong subordinates will be much easier."

Winston, being a vast territory, had over 10,000 soldiers organized into ten units, each containing more than 1,000 men under the command of a captain.

In the Winston Parade Ground, which could easily accommodate over 50,000 men, these ten units stood assembled.

The soldiers were bewildered, uncertain about the sudden gathering.

"Lord Dave has called us here, but for what purpose?" one captain asked, standing at the front.

"I wonder what this is about," another captain muttered.

Since Dave's appointment as lord, he had only tasked them with patrolling the streets and maintaining order. This was the first time they would be meeting him directly.

Leo stood at the forefront, his presence commanding respect. As Dave's knight, his status was higher than all the captains.

"I'm ashamed," Leo thought to himself, scanning the gathered soldiers.

Many of them were students, young and inexperienced. However, among the captains, a few stood out—seasoned warriors with potential.

Despite being called the Northern Nova, he has yet to reach his peak. He could recognize talent when he saw it, and these experienced knights were brimming with potential.

"Lord Dave is now a viscount, which means he can appoint two more knights," Leo mused.

"Is that why he has called them here?" He pondered, watching the soldiers closely.

As they were talking, Dave entered and ascended the elevated platform, holding the Ruler's Sword. His gaze swept over all the soldiers before him.

At that moment, a series of system notifications appeared before his eyes:

[Due to your King's Insight, the Talent Search skill has increased to Level 5.]

[Character Observation has increased to Level 10.]

The Ruler's Sword didn't solely rely on its own abilities—it adapted based on the insight of its wielder. And Dave, being of the Undefeated King class, possessed King's Insight, which was ten times more powerful than normal insight.

This was evident in how the skills under the Ruler's Sword had leveled up so quickly.

Dave smirked, gripping the sword tightly. "With this, I can now see their true worth."

He stood there, looking at them. "As you all know, I am an viscount," he said, and everyone focused on him. "I am here to recruit two personal knights."

As soon as he spoke those words, the soldiers and captains' eyes lit up. Becoming a territory knight was one thing, but serving as a lord's personal knight was an entirely different honor. It meant rising in status and gaining prestige. Hearing this, many of them eagerly awaited his next words.

"I am not going to choose anyone based solely on their current power, but on their potential," Dave continued as he scanned the crowd with sharp eyes.

— "Hmm, recruiting knights based on potential rather than immediate strength?" Madra mused. "It's a good way to uncover hidden talents, just like Leo." he nodded in approval.

Dave nodded, Leo is not powerful now, but he has potential to be stronger than he is now, and him being Magic knight is another great thing.

Dave took the Ruler Sword as he focused on Leo first.
