Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2)

“Ah. alien I just wish I had 100 gold coins.”

Not long ago, Vlad had a conversation like this with members of Jorge’s organization.

Before.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

And as these conversations unfold, there is a story that naturally emerges.

Common conversations that men usually have when they get together.

A story about alcohol, women, and anything special.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’ve lived here all my life and I guess I’ll make a living by farming.”

“If you have it, instead of doing this, buy some land somewhere and settle down right away.”

“What should I do if I have 100 gold coins?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Look boss. atom After all, it’s about business more than agriculture. adopt Let’s look for a nice building…”

They are stories that can only be imagined because they cannot happen exactly.

A story about money.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

That’s why sometimes trivial stories like this were necessary.

Life is sad when you can clearly see the future.

“And then it collapses completely. absorb I think doing business is easy.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

You have to buy land, you have to buy a building, no, you have to start a business.

“…”

Because you don’t need any qualification to imagine and talk.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Who gave it to me?”

The youngest member of the organization, silently watching as he listened to the useless stories of his elders.

In a conversation that made no sense but was still passionate, Burleigh looked at the boy who was alone in the distance. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“Hey junior. audit What would you do if you had 100 gold coins?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“You can talk about that, right?”

“…If I have 100 gold coins, I must pay off the debt first.”

The blond boy stopped pushing for a moment and silently pondered Burleigh’s question.

What would you do first if you suddenly had money?

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“What? atom Do you owe me 100 gold coins?”

It was unlikely to happen, but he could imagine it, and even in that imagination, Vlad thought he had to pay off his debt first.

“That’s strange. silence Have you been gambling or something?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

There was always a list of people he had to pay in the back of Vlad’s mind.

“It’s not a gambling debt, but I still have some things to pay.”

Most of the list was about people who held grudges, but there were also people who actually owed money and had to be paid, and the same person’s name was always written at the top of the list.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“…328 gold coins.”

Although Burleigh was no longer there to hear his answers, Vlad decided to do what he had always thought of doing.

What would you do if you had money?

And now Vlad, who had to leave Soara, had over 100 gold coins in his hands.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

There is not much time left to leave.

***

So now is the time to repay the money.

“I guess something isn’t right with us.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“When are you leaving?”

Gregory, who had been released on probation again, and Vlad, who had been punished with expulsion, looked at each other helplessly, excluded from their duties.

Two people pouring themselves beer amid the noisy crowd of customers.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Joseph gave Vlad a week.

Although it might seem like a long time, it was also a subtly difficult moment from Vlad’s perspective since he had to leave the city where he had lived his entire life.

“About five days?I’ll leave as soon as I’m ready.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

The intentions were good, but the results were not.

“Soon, the people from the Kannor family will come to Soara.”

“…But everything we planned is over.”

Somehow, Gregory, who was the cause of this incident, wanted to be considered in his own way with Vlad, who had to leave the city because of the job he had proposed.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“This is a business that cannot fail. legend It has already been coordinated to some extent with Mr. atlas Joseph.”

“…”

In any case, Black Bear and his organization disappeared from the alleys, and an area in Soara was created where the Kannor family could occupy.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

As Bordan said, knights are not people who save money through salaries.

The advantage of having a close relationship with powerful people was enough to attract knights to the shining gold coins.

The Kannor family advances toward Soara.

“Invest at least a nominal amount. crystal Then I’ll take care of it so you don’t have to worry.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t know how much I received as a special allowance, but I only contributed what I can afford.”

Other merchants would do their utmost to participate in this business, but Gregory was saying he would open a corner of the door just for Vlad. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

“How much does it cost?”

Because the knight in front of him was someone who fully deserved it.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Mmm.”

At first glance, it sounded like the typical trick of a scammer, but the person sitting across from Vlad was a Bayezid knight whose name alone could prove his reliability.

Originally, the plan was to slowly take root in the alleys with Vlad, who knew the situation well.

Gregory’s eyes looked beyond the beer glass at Vlad.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a ridiculous amount, but it would be enough to make a name for oneself.

And since the Kannor family was already one of the families supporting Vlad, they would definitely take care of it without any regrets.

“That’s enough.”

“Are 50 gold coins enough?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Please take good care of this while I’m away.”

“Please take care.”

Gregory said he was sorry, and Vlad replied that he should take care of it later, please.

“Understood.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Now that we’ve said everything we had to say to each other, all that’s left is to drink.

As Gregory raised his beer glass, Vlad looked indifferently at the snacks in front of him.

“…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Mature red sausage.

Before seeing the world, nothing seemed as delicious to Vlad as this sausage.

“It wasn’t tasty.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

***

“What’s this? autumn I don’t need inn fees.”

But Vlad decided he would no longer be satisfied with the poor sausages produced by the black bear.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

I don’t think she’ll accept me if I don’t do this.

Vlad jokingly handed Marcella 50 gold coins.

“…Our inn doesn’t charge that much, does it?”

“I can’t stay here anymore. crystal There’s also a part the old Ramund didn’t pay for.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I think Rose’s Smile Inn will do well once it overcomes this crisis.”

Vlad tried to convey to Marcella exactly what Gregory had said.

“This is an investment. sphere I’ll return the profits later.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Marcella was investing her money to turn Rose’s Smile into an elegant inn.

“Is that so?”

However, no matter how much money she had saved, most of it was lost due to One-Armed Jack’s interference, and although she didn’t show it, Marcella was currently struggling with financial difficulties.

“…Thank you. action You won’t regret this investment.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

As they looked at each other as equals, not as adults and children, there was no reason for Marcella not to accept.

If it were simply to show sympathy for her young heart, she wouldn’t have accepted. airport However, Vlad was proposing his own business venture and giving gold coins in exchange for an investment.

“Hehe. galaxy If you’re asking for those terms, I’ll accept.”

“In return, from now on, the sausages must always be from the Kannor family. legend If possible, we should promote that too.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Seeing Marcella make a subtle expression, Vlad could only smile bitterly.

After learning that she would be expelled from Soara, Zemina stayed in a corner of her room and didn’t come out. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. anxiety Her sense of loss was something only Vlad could fill.

“Please take care of Zemina while I’m away.”

“I can’t promise that.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad, descending the stairs to do his next job, paused for a moment and turned his head.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m a bit busy.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Huh? admire What for?”

“Thank you.”

There was Marcella holding the bag of gold coins he had given her.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll be right back.”

Before Marcella washed his hair, Vlad’s hair was gray and dusty. action Now her inn would receive high-quality meat from the Kannor family, and she had enough money to not worry about deficits for the time being. silence So Vlad decided to erase Marcella’s name from the list in his head.

Jorge picked it up, but she wiped it.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Thank you.”

He felt like his hands would freeze in the cold weather, but he decided to do it anyway.

Vlad hurriedly left the inn and went to the monastery’s graveyard to clean the tombstone of the old blacksmith.

Now, there are only a few days left for the time Joseph gave him.

Because he wanted to bid farewell to the old blacksmith he wouldn’t see again for a long time.

With his final greetings to him, Vlad crossed off the old blacksmith’s name from the list in his head.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“But I really wanted to thank you.”

Vlad went to the town hall and bowed to the knight who protected Rose’s Smile on his behalf.

“I just paid for my life.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Although he said he had paid his debt, Knight Maxim volunteered to face the bishop’s soldiers.

He brought his favorite snacks to Bordan, who had issued the order in his name.

Vlad bowed to Maxim, who had avenged him, and when he saw the man who had accepted his greeting, he crossed another name off the list.

He bought a nice axe for Otar, who believed in him and followed him.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“…”

Vlad wasn’t in a position to say anything to them yet, so he decided to wait until later.

There were also people I didn’t dare to pay, like Joseph, Jager, and Priest Andreas.

Every time he gave something to someone and bowed in gratitude, the names in Vlad’s head were erased one by one.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

And now there was only one name left, the oldest on the list.

“What debt?”

“Why did you ask me to come here?”

“To settle a debt.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

The harsh northern climate caused vital rivers to freeze for about half the year, but Soara, the southernmost city in the north, managed to escape some of the effects.

Harven, who followed Vlad with a limp, soon saw a large building leaning against the icy riverbank.

“Yes. audit This is the shipyard.”

“This is a shipyard.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m paying my debt.”

This shipyard was proof of that.

A shipyard wasn’t just a place to build ships, but also a place to sell them.

“But why did you bring me here?” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“That was too expensive.”

“Huff… Look at that. altitude It looks like a boat’s leaving. echo Are they stuck by the river? antique The captain’s going to have a hard time.”

Of course, the process would require difficult procedures, but this didn’t apply to Vlad, the knight.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“I always wanted to come here at least once.”

“Huh?”

“…”

Harven entered the shipyard with Vlad’s guidance and started looking around happily, like a child.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Harven had loved ships since he was young.

As if it were a promise they would never forget.

They used to talk about how someday they would buy a boat and sail down the river, escaping the alleys.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

And young Vlad learned to look at the stars by looking at Harven.

“Do you want to leave Soara?”

“Yes.”

“Do you still want to travel by boat?”

Harven said he would definitely go to sea before he died.

“Of course… Why are you asking that?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“That was 200 gold coins.”

However, Harven ended up trapped in a dark alley protecting Vlad and Zemina.

There was a day when he carved a rudimentary cane for Harven, who was sitting thoughtfully by himself.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

So, he engraved his name deeply in his mind.

He would definitely pay his debt to Harven.

That day, while squatting somewhere in an alley, carving wood, Vlad made a decision.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Still, the boat with a horizontally stretched sail, as if to indicate it was a sailboat, was a zipper boat more commonly used by merchants sailing the river.

A small boat trapped in a corner of the shipyard.

“What?”

Where Vlad pointed.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Harven, who didn’t understand what had just happened, made strange noises and responded, but Vlad simply waved his hand and called over the shipyard worker.

“Huh?”

“It’s yours now.”

“It’s a bit cheap. abandon So I bought it.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad said, handing a piece of paper brought by a shipyard worker.

“Sign it. admire With your name.”

“…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Harven felt embarrassed by what had suddenly happened and stammered, but soon felt something cover his head and stopped stuttering.

It was a ship certificate accrediting ownership of the boat.

A piece of white paper in the hands of a shipyard worker.

“No, this is, this is now…” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a captain’s hat that only boat owners could wear.

A triangular-shaped, stiff-feeling hat.

“From today, you’re Captain Harven.”

What the shipyard worker brought wasn’t just a pending signature certificate.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

Limping refuge.

“…Captain Harven.”

But from today, he abandoned his old alley name and received a new one.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

“Captain Harven, Captain…”

What would you do if you had 100 gold coins?

There was no one left to listen to that, but Vlad was now answering the question.

As he looked at the smiling Vlad, a dark moisture spread from his trembling pupils.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

But the one shedding tears now was Harven, and in his hands was a boat with wood for sails.

Every time Harven’s name was carved into the blank, empty space, it disappeared from Vlad’s mental list.

Although Harven limped when walking, he would be braver than anyone on the sea, where it wouldn’t be land but sails that would move him. absorb That was the world where sails moved, not feet.

There was a day when Vlad cried while carving a wooden stick for Harven.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 100: When the snow melts (2) by Indra Translations.

And with this, 100 chapters have been translated. accent Honestly, for it to be the 100th chapter, it was spectacular.
