Chapter 181: Golden knight (1)

The sturdy walls collapsed, and the square that was the city’s center was ravaged without a trace.

After the fog cleared, Moshiam was a place full of deep scars.

What the Northern Allied Forces, who hurried to face the disaster that occurred in Moshiam, received was the sight of a city that had collapsed so miserably that it could almost be described as half-destroyed.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

The Iron Lord silently scratched his eyebrows as he looked at the city with all sorts of debris flying around.

“Does that make sense?”

“…So, is this scene just the work of two people?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Even if the army had entered and destroyed the place, they couldn’t have done it in that manner, and all that accomplished by just two individuals.

It was a report hard to accept.

“And one of them is the Bayezid boy?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

After hearing Valkov’s report, the Iron Duke couldn’t help but laugh incredulously.

However unbelievable it may be, there was no room for doubt as the leader of the Order of the Northern Orthodox Church was clearly testifying.

“I don’t know how to interpret this… I have no idea.”

“…According to the testimony of Gunther, head of the Order of the Knights of the Orthodox Church, that’s correct.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Yet, no matter how unbelievable it may be, there won’t be any room for doubt as the Commander of the Knights of the Northern Orthodox Church was clearly testifying.

After hearing Valkov’s report, the Iron Lord laughed as if dumbfounded.

“How should I accept this? sphere I have no clue.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Gunther, the leader of the Holy Knights, was testifying.

It was the only thing clearly standing out in this city that had lost all color.

Timur, treading on the remnants of a building, looked towards Moshiam’s square in the distance.

There, a golden tree stood alone amidst the pitiful remains.

The knight’s name was Vlad of Soara. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Now, his name will surely be remembered even by the most powerful people in the North.

There was a knight who created his own world in a city where everything was distorted.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Though his trembling hands could barely hold the teacup, his eyes had fully regained their brightness.

Vlad sat on the windowsill, sipping tea.

“Where’s Bishop Pedro?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Weren’t you with him until the end?”

Pop, pop, pop…

“Yes, I was.”

“Well, I don’t know where he went.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

After checking the fumigator he had last used, Nibelun replied as he packed the magical tools into his backpack.

“He’s escaped.”

Though the volume of the tools seemed too much for the bag, it absorbed them effortlessly, prompting Vlad to look on with curiosity.

“He said he was going to the bathroom when he saw the allied troops entering and hasn’t returned since.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

I felt it during the indulgence incident, but he was someone who couldn’t let his guard down.

Vlad frowned after pouring the tea he was supposed to savor and drank it in one gulp.

Seems like wood and stone, but acts like a fox.

“I would have needed that person to know the true story.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Not just the purpose of ruining the city in this manner, but also their name.

Nibelun rummaged through his sleeves as he looked at Vlad, who pursed his lips in disappointment.

As Vlad said, while the imminent situation might be considered resolved, nothing had been discovered about the person who truly caused this situation.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Actually, something like this fell beneath the tree.”

“What’s this?”

Normally, mages considered the mysterious clues they uncovered as treasures and wouldn’t easily show them to others, but Nibelun didn’t do that to Vlad.

Nibelun, a mage who pursued mysteries.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.”

“I’ve been investigating for a while. album Is it okay to take it without permission?”

The pieces, resembling broken beads, felt familiar to Vlad without him knowing why.

What Nibelun handed over were fragments of something that looked like pieces of glass.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Well, that’s true.”

“Doesn’t what falls to the ground originally have an owner?”

It was indeed a response akin to that of a beast-man, and the understanding of someone from the alley.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“I don’t know what this is.”

Inside the shining fragment, there was an intense blue color.

“I could just sense that there was something there. atom It broke so cruelly.”

There was no way he could have known that he was being watched, but Vlad, still bored, looked at the glass shards in the sunlight.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

[It’s a seed.]

A piece of broken glass but still containing a mysterious light.

“Huh?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

[Look at it through the world. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates. album Other knights might not see it, but you should be able to recognize it.]

Ordinary knights might not recognize it, but Vlad, who had been influenced by Kihano’s world, might.

Kihano, looking through Vlad’s vision, immediately recognized the nature of the shard.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

The glass shards seen in that world contained a single scene.

Vlad’s world was now firmly established to the point where it could extend to the rest of the world.

At his words, Vlad quietly closed his left eye and looked at the shard he held through his inner world.

“Eh?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

They were spirits that resembled creatures called squids, of which Harven had spoken to him about.

The tree standing on the cliff at the end of the sea looked at the young spirits swimming beneath the waves.

The sight of waves crashing over the deep blue sea.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad, faced with that scene, could recognize that it was similar to the feeling he had when he saw Hainal’s relic.

A brief but intense blue memory from fragments.

“This is…”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

After hearing Kihano’s words, Vlad could determine whether what he held was a fragment of something.

[I thought it was an unusual tree, but it turned out like this.]

The hill of Deirmar where the white snake was.

A yellow amber stone that was a relic of Hainal. absorb And in the forest of Dobrechi, where the troll was.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“…I must catch that woman.”

There was always a tree standing in each place.

“Yes?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad looked at the core of the spiritual tree that had been horribly broken and grasped it carefully.

Even if the direction was wrong.

Just like the trees containing spirits, the upside-down tree also contained the souls of the children.

“Come in.”

Though he wasn’t the room’s owner, the door opened when Nibelun told him to enter.

Knock knock.

“Are you feeling alright?”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad quickly relaxed his frown as he looked at Jean dressed in a pure white robe.

“How are you, Deacon?”

It was the young deacon of Andreas, Jean, who called out from the door.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Though he shyly lowered his head and said he hadn’t done anything, Vlad remembered Jean resisting the singing voice of the woman. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“I’m fine. action They must have done something.”

“I’m here to tell you that the funeral is already prepared. acid If you’re still not feeling well…”

“No.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad reached out to the armor next to the bed and, smiling at Jean who was waiting, replied:

Vlad got up from his seat with a buzz.

“It’s the last time I’ll see Miss Justia, so I want to bid her farewell.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Understood.”

Nibelun, silently watching them, raised his teacup as he looked at the church in the distance.

Though he had said he would go, Jean, a young deacon, approached to help Vlad put on the armor, as he was still struggling to do it alone.

The bright yellow sunlight streaming through the window fell on the backs of the two.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Although the bell was crushed after falling from the bell tower, it still served its original function.

***

The bell of Moshiam rang alongside a paladin neatly dressed in armor.

Ding Dong!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“But the first floor remains intact. altitude That’s good.”

“It’s all destroyed.”

The church was completely destroyed from the second floor up, but as Jean said, the first floor, where the chapel was located, miraculously remained intact.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

The allied soldiers couldn’t hide their surprise at the fact that so many survivors still remained in Moshiam.

Therefore, it was the only place where people could gather.

-Injured people to the side!

-Form a line slowly!

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Even the inhabitants of Moshiam who were nearby.

Upon hearing Jean’s words, the soldiers began to look at Vlad with surprise.

“It’s Vlad of Bayezid. artist Please make way.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

The soldiers, who were not well acquainted with the details, now misinterpreted Vlad as a hero who had protected Moshiam from demons during that long time.

The movement of the soldiers who cleared the way was deliberate.

“It’s an honor to meet you!”

For the people here, it was just one night, but for those outside, it was a long period of two months.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“It is an honor to meet you, Duke.”

“Have you come?”

And Timur, the Iron Lord, who awaited Vlad in front of the church, didn’t bother to correct the misunderstanding.

For healing deep wounds, there must be some joy.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, when the city of Moshiam was destroyed and the prestige of the North was considerably diminished, there were only two advancements that could calm the very moved public sentiment: the Orthodox Holy Knights and a knight named Vlad.

“I can finally see in person the rumored star of the North. atom Of course, I’ve heard of you through Valkov for a long time.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

The person currently accompanying Timur was Valkov, wielding a lance, whom he had seen in the past during the subjugation of Lindworm.

“Come in.”

Vlad recognized the knight standing next to Timur and nodded slightly.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Because Vlad’s mind was already filled with the last image of Justia, who had blocked his sword, rather than the noble duke’s will.

-Duke Baranov is entering!

Timur embraced him by the shoulders without hesitation, but Vlad wasn’t embarrassed at all.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Stand by my side. voyage You deserve it.”

The chapel, following the debris that had not yet been removed, was already filled with people in armor.

Bayezid and the knights of Hainal, who already knew each other, nodded as if they were proud to see Vlad enter with the Iron Lord Timur.

Knights of seven families gathered under the name of the Northern Alliance.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad had always sought the right to be proud, but now he felt ashamed by those words.

Those who are truly qualified are the ones clearly in front of me right now.

“…”

When Timur said he was qualified, Vlad bowed his head unable to respond. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

-Today we are here to send off those who have done noble deeds.

These were huge connections that anyone would want, but Vlad simply directed his gaze to the single coffin lying before him.

The person by his side is the only Duke of the North, and the elder in front is the noble Orthodox Pope.

Her platinum blonde hair, shining in the sunlight, had not changed at all since the first time they met.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

However, the Pope’s voice, gradually spreading, will reach people outside the Church.

The funeral of saints and priests conducted under the office of the Pope.

-We will always remember those who fulfilled their duty even in the face of great evil.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

The pope was saying something at the front, but Vlad only absently stared at Justia’s coffin.

“…”

This place today was for everyone in Moshiam, regardless of who they belonged to.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Let’s go.”

The noble paladin who died embracing him.

Although they didn’t share much time together, Vlad had received a lot from her and now had forever lost the chance to repay those debts.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t be too surprised.”

As the engraved wound was deep, the caress he received was as formal as possible.

“Yes.”

After the Northern knights finished paying tribute to the dead, the only people left were the Iron Lord and Vlad.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Timur, who left an unintelligible comment, carefully laid down the flowers he held and began to bow his head to those lying down.

Vlad, ascending the stairs, questioned Timur’s insinuating words, but he merely smiled and looked at the Pope in front of him.

“Yes?”

“You said you’d give it to me, so accept it with gratitude.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“…”

The priests praying for Jean and Vlad, and the paladins who raised their swords against the wicked woman.

Vlad, who had been placing flowers for them one by one, finally stopped in front of Justia’s coffin.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Even as Anna wiped away the black tears, she remained behind Vlad.

But now, Vlad had to carefully leave the flower he held for her in front of him. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

The salty taste of the apple she had peeled for him seemed to linger on the tip of his tongue.

“Thank you. adopt Justia.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad carefully placed the last flower he held on Justia and watched the Pope approach him.

“Vlad of Bayezid. arch The knight who protected Moshiam.”

Wrinkles that appeared as naturally as a smile that had been worn for a long time.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes?”

Even now, the old Pope smiled as he looked into Vlad’s eyes that fluttered constantly.

“Are you sad?”

“We all have to leave someday.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“Yes?”

The Pope approached Vlad, silently looked at his chest, and spoke.

“We have to leave someday, but the reason we don’t feel empty is because we leave something behind.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

A knight who saved the lives of children.

“Justia said I should pass this message on to you.”

The place where his fingers touched was where Vlad’s pride had been, even though he had changed his armor.

The Pope’s fingertips were already caressing Vlad’s armor.

“Although Justia stood by your side, she ended up leaving something behind.”

It was a phrase that Justia gave to the boy who climbed the bell tower under the heavy rain.

The words given as a gift by Saint Rogino were still engraved on Vlad’s chest.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“…!!”

A pure white smoke began to rise from the palm of the Pope, covering the words.

Vlad felt puzzled as he felt his armor heating up, but the expression on the Pope’s face as he transferred it was simply calm.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

“I hope they become a testimony for all who have died.”

Pope Konrad began to engrave another message in Vlad’s heart for those who were like his children.

The dead leave, but those who remain must carry the burden.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

Vlad’s eyes widened as he looked at his warmed breastplate.

Convinced that their deaths will shine under his current name.

“…Pope.”

“I believe you will. autumn Vlad of Soara.”

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

As the white smoke dissipates, what is seen are two newly engraved words below the text that Justia gifted.

The knight who protected the lives of children.

Vlad Aureo. [1]

Vlad.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

There was a boy who couldn’t even shout his name correctly.

“Your birth name will be Vlad, but under His name, you will be Aureo.”

But now his name was always followed by a shining word.

Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 181: Golden knight (1) by Indra Translations.

T/N:(1): “Aureo” is an adjective that means “golden” or “gilded.” autumn It is used to describe something that has a golden color or a valuable and precious quality like gold. acid In the context of the text, “Vlad Aureo” could refer to Vlad with a golden quality, symbolizing nobility, valor, or excellence.

The words, with the knights of seven families as witnesses, were a name that would live forever in Vlad’s blood.
