“…!”

To be honest, it was so comfortable and nostalgic that he wanted to go there right away.

The blazing bonfire was as warm as a mother’s embrace, and the surrounding darkness was as comfortable as a soft carpet.

But now Vlad was looking forward, not backward.

The voice of the faceless man was the voice Vlad had been searching for.

Someone shouting at him to get out of there.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad never forgot that promise for a moment.

[Vlad!]

It was a promise to find out the name of the voice.

Now that he had completed his revenge against Godin and the contract with Joseph, all that remained for Vlad was a promise.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Seeing Vlad say it had been a while, the man finally lowered the hand that shook his shoulder as if relieved.

[…Yes.]

“Long time no see.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Although his face was obscured by the backlight, Vlad realized he was smiling happily.

“…Ugh.”

– Vlad, Vlad?”

My whole body ached as if I were suffering from body pains, and the breath I exhaled felt cold enough to make me shiver.

The first thing I felt as soon as I opened my eyes was a chill that froze me to the bone.

I definitely think I was in a warm place in my dream.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Long time no see, Vlad.”

In front of me, finally coming into focus, was a mass of loose platinum blonde hair.

“I guess you were very tired.”

There was warmth in her eyes that took away the chill from earlier.

A woman looking at me through her loose hair.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Justia, the paladin of San Rogino.

This was to wipe away the sweat that Vlad had created while trembling.

She, who had been together in the fog-filled village, now stroked Vlad’s chin with a worried expression.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes?”

Along with concern, a trace of anxiety began to form in her eyes.

“…Did you ever have a dream?”

Justia’s thin eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Vlad, who still hadn’t fully come to his senses.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wake up first.”

At that moment, an unfamiliar voice came from behind Justia.

“Yes.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

I don’t know if it was because of that voice, but the surroundings suddenly began to get noisy.

“You have to come to your senses!”

“Deacon! action Wake up!”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Men’s voices and prayers echoed all around.

It was a noisy commotion that was too much for Vlad, who had finally regained consciousness.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

When I turned my head to look beside me, there was Nibelun, frozen in embarrassment.

Sharp sound vibrations pounded Vlad’s ears.

And even the sight of Jean, still asleep, leaning on his shoulder.

“…What is this now?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Jean’s faint singing voice pierced through the prayers of the paladins and entered Vlad’s ears.

Familiar words that seemed to have heard them somewhere.

“…Spin, around.”

The young deacon, who couldn’t easily wake up even when the Holy Knights shook him roughly, could only weakly repeat the lyrics of a song as if he were speaking in his sleep.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Nice to meet you. ability I’m Gunther, the second commander of the Northern Orthodox Church.”

‘Spin?’ Vlad’s armor and sword were warming up with the sound of Jean’s faint singing.

It was the warmth of the dream moment when the voice grabbed Vlad’s shoulder and lifted him up.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps due to the fog, the sunlight didn’t enter the office even though it was noon.

“I’m Vlad, the knight of Bayezid.”

Maybe that’s why Vlad couldn’t properly recognize the face of the man whose back was now facing the window. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

A man with impressive turquoise hair, oiled and carefully combed back.

The man who introduced himself as Gunther was also the person currently in control of the city of Moshiam.

“Yes. silence Vlad. orbit I already knew your name.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Rather, I feel more honored. sphere Let’s shake hands.”

“It’s an honor for you to recognize me.”

His hands were too smooth and unscathed to be considered a swordsman holding a sword.

Vlad looked at the hand passing over the table.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“What will happen to Jean?”

“Thank you for bringing Deacon Andreas home safely.”

But this wasn’t important for Vlad.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Gunther rubbed his head with a worried expression, pulled out a large cigarette from a drawer, and began to light it.

The outward appearance of the man in front of him or the public comments he made about himself had no significance.

“They say he’s still asleep.” wizard “…He’ll probably be asleep until night. action According to our investigation.”

“What’s the investigation about? august Hasn’t Moshiam been purified yet?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“We’re the ones who came to investigate it.”

“There’s probably someone in the Vatican who can really tell you about that.”

The smoke entered deeply into his lungs and slowly began to come out of his mouth.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

A city where everything is blurry and confusing.

The dark mist floating around reminded Vlad of the letter the priestess had sent him.

“…” The smoke from the cigarette spread through the air, obscuring the light that barely penetrated through the fog.

A ring signifying the rank of Knight Commander, a position of which there are only two in the Northern Orthodox Church.

The ring worn by the leader gleamed on the slightly lowered desk.

Extend-

There was probably no one here now who could oppose that authority. abandon “Thank you again for bringing the deacon here. agent We will take care of all matters related to that child from now on.”

A leader of the Holy Knights who is so noble that it’s difficult for even a single knight to dare to look at him.

“…”

Gunther’s eyes began to turn fierce as he saw Vlad daring to encroach on his authority.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“…The city of Moshiam is also the land of the Northern Union.”

“Retreat.”

But now Vlad stared back at him through the smoke.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

For Vlad, Gunther’s authority was merely secondary.

Bishop Andreas said to take good care of Jean, but the knight Vlad had not yet acknowledged the handover of the young deacon.

There was work to be done, but it couldn’t be completed.

“I am worthy of being a knight of Bayezid in the Northern Alliance.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

A strange look began to appear in Gunther’s eyes as he looked at Vlad.

When I thought about it, this pale blue guy in front of me had never even lowered his head in front of me.

“What qualifications?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“What?” anxiety The duties and responsibilities of a knight are not the only things he has.

“Since you’re not telling me the details of why you’re trying to take Jean away, I have no choice but to do this.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

A dense silence began to reign, accompanied by the cigarette smoke.

Gunther, the owner of the silence, was not particularly angry.

“…This is worse than rumors.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“They said you were a loser.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

He was just looking at Vlad with curious eyes.

In reality, the guy in front of him was the one who broke the indulgence granted by Bishop Pedro.

The cigarette burning between his fingers represented his absurd feelings.

“Justia.”

“Are you going back now?”

Justia approached Vlad and Nibelun, who were leaving the town hall.

“Vlad.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“…That’s not all.”

“No.”

Justia, who perhaps still didn’t know the details of the situation, didn’t hesitate in her attitude towards Vlad.

“Well, I guess I should rest a bit before heading back.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway, why can’t Jean wake up yet? acid As someone who brought him here, I’m worried.”

She was curious to see how Justia’s face would look if she found out he had just fought with Gunther.

Vlad and Nibelun naturally started to follow her.

“Yes.”

Seeing Vlad pondering where to go in the fog, Justia naturally took the lead.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Justia, who turned around in response to Vlad’s question, began to look at Nibelun. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“I can’t explain in detail because it’s still uncertain. silence It wasn’t long before we noticed the anomaly in Moshiam.”

The platinum blond horse, clearly visible even in the dark fog, filled Vlad’s field of vision.

“What’s happening?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

In response to Vlad’s resolute answer, Justia could only gesture for him to come closer.

“…”

“No.”

“Is he someone you can trust?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad shot a warning glance at Nibelun, who blinked from beyond the fog, and focused on the story being told in a whisper.

“When Baron Utman was there, the city was closed off, so I didn’t know much about the situation. arena But as the Vatican stepped forward, we thought only a few traces of evil would remain.”

Nibelun, standing alone in the fog, simply listened intently, confused.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

However, there were still unidentified roots left behind, and the Northern Orthodox Church had just confirmed the reality of those roots.

The war that took place in Baron Utman’s territory was of enormous scale. anchor So much so that even the lord of steel who tried to create the Northern Union was shaken.

“But I feel a weak but sinister energy in this city. galaxy I don’t know where the source is.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Now that everything was darkened by the thick fog, the only clue in front of the Holy Knights was the young deacon who was deeply asleep.

“We need to investigate the deacon you brought.”

“So Jean…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“But when I saw you earlier, I saw you were sweating coldly.”

“Although he’s not in the best condition, the apprentice named Jean is somehow connected to the origin we’re looking for. voyage It’s probably a curse targeting young children…”

Perhaps Gunther was trying to find the root of the evil spreading in Moshiam, using Jean’s existence as a lead.

If there’s an outcome, there’s a beginning, and following the thread that connects them is the basis of the investigation.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

The question was also related to the curse she had just mentioned.

“Did you also have a strange dream, Vlad?”

“A dream?”

Justia, who had conveyed what she needed to say, now hinted at the question she had been harboring before.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“There’s a bonfire, and all the children are singing. action In the dream.”

The children of Moshiam, who fell asleep when the sun went down and opened their eyes when it set, said they had the same dream.

The first thing the Holy Knights did when they arrived in Moshiam was to investigate a strange infectious disease that only happened to children.

“Yes.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

What is the standard that divides children and adults?

“…”

Vlad felt a dizzying sense of despair as he recalled his own dream, which was exactly the same as the dream the children had.

Following Justia’s guidance, Vlad verified that Jean was still asleep in the church they entered. athlete Now, they were heading towards the inn.

It seemed that the child Andreas had asked for was still singing with the children of Moshiam.

“Alright. adapt You don’t need to explain further, I understand the situation.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Isn’t there any clue, mage?”

“Oh, umm.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Despite Vlad’s question, Nibelun continued to stutter as if unable to escape his own thoughts.

Although the fog was dense and visibility was low, the afternoon was turning into evening.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad ran his hand through his hair in frustration and began to grind his teeth.

“No, don’t say such nonsense.”

“It seems that the curse is hidden in something intangible like the fog. orbit Since it has no substance, you can’t see it.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Vlad’s threat seemed to have worked as Nibelun’s amber eyes refocused. anxiety “In fact, I also recommend the method used by the paladins. palette No matter the method of the curse, it’s tied to the entity called Jean.”

“Then, what about Jean?”

“Is there no way? palette If not, you’ll leave here tomorrow.”

“Oh! afford That’s not possible. alpha There’s…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“What about Jean…?”

“It wouldn’t be good to leave him like this.”

In response to Vlad’s question, Nibelun scratched his head with a worried expression.

I thought about lending a hand to the cat to see if it would help, but the cat turned out to be just a cat.

“…There’s no need to wait until tomorrow. zenith Go now.”

In that case, you don’t need to bring it with you…

pop-pop pop-pop-

“What’s that?”

The object Nibelun hastily pulled out of his bag, perhaps in response to the threat, was something Vlad had never seen before in his life.

“It’s a smoker. sphere It’s something beekeepers usually use to drive away bees.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

When Nibelun pulled the handle, the smoker began to move with an alarming sound.

“The fog is something that obscures what originally exists. acoustic The intention is obvious.” pop-pop-pop-

“Why is that?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

“Is it broken?”

However, the strange thing was that, contrary to the explanation, no smoke came out of the smoker’s nozzle.

“I tested it to see if that was the case, and it seemed to work fine.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

Nibelun’s face was turning red, as if pulling the handle was difficult, but Vlad seemed to understand why he was going through so much trouble.

“It’s because it’s a fake fog. advance That’s what this smoker is for.”

“…Is it gone?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 171: There is a voice calling in the dark (2) by Indra Translations.

In the middle of the city’s empty street, Vlad watched with curiosity as Nibelun vigorously waved the smoker.

The cat’s magical object was absorbing the fog and illuminating the surroundings.

As the frivolous sound grew louder, the surrounding landscape became clearer.
