Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2)
A tree rooted on a hillside.
A woman with aquamarine hair bit her lip as she stood behind a window with a clear view of the tree.
“Or, to be more precise, he has taken an area where he can establish a strategic passage, as ultimately he will have to pass through us to reach the north.”
“I see that… Count Gaidar has now prepared a strategic move northward.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Piles of papers on one side of her desk blocked the sunlight, casting shadows over her face.
“…I can’t be sure, but you should be prepared.”
“Do you think they’ll come to us?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“I suppose it’s comforting to think they’ll come, though I don’t know when.”
Alicia Heinal.
Baroness of Heinal and Lady of Deirmar.
A map was now spread out before her, and on it were the markings of House Gaidar.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The new losers of the west expanded tirelessly, their influence now reaching into the north and center.
House Gaidar was now right in front of Deirmar’s nose.
“That’s right.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Noble blood must be blue.
The blood of a noble must be blue because they must be capable of making judgments coolly at any moment.
“One minute we were holding off the center… and the next the west was closing in.”
Alicia observed the unpredictable course of events, striving to push away the anxiety that had been building up.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“They will help us. galaxy They have a duty and a reason to do so,” she asserted.
“We should write to Count Bayezid a letter,” she said. timber Alicia looked at the map, biting her lip. apple Fortunately, she had insurance prepared for moments like this.
Alicia was working hard to ensure she could do just that.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
If it were Bayezid, they would help Deirmar.
“That’s right.”
Their location means that if they are attacked, their next target will be Count Bayezid, one of the Pillars of the North.
The Duel of Honor, a war of powers between the Center and the North, was fought here for good reason.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“It seems he has this time established a connection with San Rogino, and being near the church, that’s not bad at all.”
“I’m glad I gave him the handkerchief.”
Alicia unnecessarily shrugged off the praise for Vlad coming from Duncan’s mouth.
“You’re right. shadow Lately, I’ve heard rumors about that boy, and he’s growing up very well.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Everything was rumor in the north these days, that the researchers from Soara had found ominous signs in Baron Utman’s territory.
Duncan heard Alicia’s comment and looked at her with a subtle expression.
But most lords would be alert to signs of witches or subtle inclinations between Baron Utman and the Bayezid.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Since Vlad had left Deirmar, she had been watching his movements, to the point that her spy network in the north had been reinforced.
“Because… I invested in that boy.”
“I understand.”
But Alicia was more interested in Vlad’s behavior than that.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. wizard The higher his name rises, the better for us.”
Taking Lady Alicia’s handkerchief, Vlad had the decency to respond to her call.
“I also think it was a good thing.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Mobilize a wider scouting radius, so we can quickly pick up any suspicious developments. adopt We don’t have many troops, and we need to gain time.”
“…Yes, Lady.”
And when the boy returns to Deirmar claiming the handkerchief, he won’t come alone.
He had promised Joseph he would.

It would be nice to have a breather, if only for a few moments.
Duncan watched as Alicia quickly changed the subject and decided to remain silent.

The world was changing rapidly.
“I hope so too.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The old knight felt sorry for the young ones who had to bear the heavy burdens of this changing world.
More than the old ones who had always ruled it could have predicted.
On the trees of the hillside, white flowers bloomed.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.

They had started to bloom shortly after the boy’s departure, and they were the only comfort that existed now in Deirmar.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Vlad sat, frowning at the hammering sound.
The old blacksmith made a subtle expression as he saw Vlad curse the old man in front of him, but he simply continued hammering in silence.
“That darn old man. alert Part of me wanted to crush him right there.”
“…Really?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“What were you cutting this time?”
“This one was a bit too much for me.”
Youngsters had their own burdens to bear, but sometimes one had to turn a blind eye to the old ones.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“…What more can you expect from a headless knight?”
The sword resting on the forge looked particularly sorry today.
The old blacksmith let out something akin to a sigh at the mention of a being he had never heard of in his life.
It had been a long time since he tended to his sword, and he had good reasons to scold the boy for yet another chipping.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Watching the boy complain about not having a good deal to live comfortably, the old man quietly started hammering the sword.
“Seems to be my fate. amber Whatever.”
“It seems like you’re fighting tougher guys wherever you go.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“What?”
Vlad’s eyes widened in perplexity at the old man’s seemingly casual statement.
“Don’t you think it’s time to change your sword?”
Though he was a swordsman who had put all his effort into it, this sword was not created for such purposes. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“But…”
The old man’s seemingly nonchalant behavior was even more peculiar to Vlad.
“At best, you’ll be lucky if you can go out and slice monsters with it. abstract The material is nothing but ordinary iron, and the man who made it is nothing more than a mediocre blacksmith.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The old blacksmith hoped that the sword he had made would never reach the boy’s ankle.
“If you keep using it like this, someday it will break.”
The boy will face more challenges as he grows, but the sword will forever remain as it is now.
Surely the boy, who now lies wounded, doesn’t want that either.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m not asking you to change it now, but think about it.”
The old blacksmith just laughed at the boy’s question.
He normally behaved like an adult, but at moments like this, he couldn’t help but feel young.
“Do you do customizations?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
For the old and the sympathetic, it was just another day in life.
It’s the privilege of the young and the young at heart to mourn the parting.
“This is my last piece. voyage Look for another blacksmith, not me.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Are you taking it with you today?”
“Sure.”
“I might have to use it later.”
The sword gleamed again as he dipped it into the water bucket to cool off.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The old man gestured for the boy to take it out of the water, eyes stinging from the flames.
“Yes.”
It still seemed like it would stand by the boy.
“Be careful, it’s hot.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
The boy stepped out confidently, unlike before.

The business of the day was done.
The old blacksmith nodded, and with a hearty laugh, he closed the forge door and locked it.
“Of course.”
Now, he could barely step on the mud in front of him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
***
Vlad had been more sensitive than usual lately.
For he had just expended all his strength on the boy’s sword.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
[Someone is following you from behind.]
“…”
It wasn’t just because he had been disciplined by Joseph.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Since yesterday, someone had been following Vlad, as the voice said.
Almost as if he knew whose gaze it was, Vlad quickly moved away from the familiar alley and began to follow a deliberate path.
The old man stopped abruptly when he saw the boy suddenly disappear in front of him into a dark alley.
He hurried past the skewer shop, filled with acrid smoke, to gain some distance, and then skirted the crowded sidewalks to conceal his presence.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
There was a reason he had been given Bayezid’s leather armor.
The old man shook his head, feeling like the boy was behind him as if he hadn’t noticed.
‘You’re quick on your feet.’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“I was on my own way, what do you mean?”
Vlad couldn’t bear the nonchalant response from the old man any longer and started to growl.
“Why are you following me?”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
‘…He has a strong impulse.’
“You’ve been playing with me since yesterday.”
The old man nodded as he saw the boy, despite being angry, not letting it get the better of him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
He’s a good kid.
‘He seems to be someone with a great ability to control himself.’
Then, his challenge from that moment was surely intentional.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Then you shouldn’t have done the stupid thing in the first place. athlete What did I say was wrong?”
Vlad looked at the old man who was provoking him while frowning in front of him.
“…”
The old man was clearly looking for a reaction from him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“If you don’t like something, why don’t you just say it, instead of beating around the bush?”
The old man smiled as the boy growled and slowly grabbed the hilt of his sword.
He must have a purpose, something he wants from him. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“If you feel like fighting, then come and do it. album Idiot.”
There was a rawness in the boy that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
It was something he missed, but it was also something he appreciated.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
If he did it now, it must be with intention.
“…You started it.”
Vlad prepared himself as he saw the old man reaching out his hand to him.
He didn’t know who the old man was, or why he was doing this, but the old man was someone Joseph vouched for.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
But the boy, who had lived in a world where disrespect meant death, was willing to take on anyone at any time.
Clang!
Vlad quickly unsheathed his sword, ready to shatter any intent, if there was any.
An old man who had survived countless battlefields must be stronger than him.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The wrinkles of the old man widened as he saw the sword piercing through the narrow alley with no room to dodge.
Vlad unsheathed his sword at a speed that surpassed his expectations, using the technique of the deadly strike.
‘You’ve got some tricks up your sleeve!’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Perhaps he should teach him something of his own.
He almost felt proud of the boy for being so young and putting so much of himself into a single sword.

It wasn’t because his blow had been blocked in vain.
“…!”
“What are you doing here without taking her with you?”
Vlad was panicking.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Move to the right, move to the right.
He had already anticipated it.
As the old man continued to follow him, strangely pressing the tip of his sword against his, Vlad realized that his movements had already been read.
If you move to the left, to the left.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Vlad quickly closed his left eye as the old man mocked him with his sword.
“Damn it!”
Even though he had expected it, he did not expect the difference to be so great.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Now, tired of being treated this way, Vlad unleashed the anger he had been accumulating and lunged at the unnamed old man.
The big worlds always oppressed the boy, constantly beating him down. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“Why the hell are you doing this!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Even in his time, he had rarely seen someone of his age handle aura as clearly as this boy.
The old man raised the corner of his lips as he felt the boy’s momentum trembling under his sword.
“Magnificent!”
“I’m not that good!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The boy’s and the old man’s swords clashed in the narrow alley.
Clash!
For once, the boy’s momentum, which could not be suppressed with finesse alone, clung to the old man with wild sparks.
“You have a good momentum!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Although he might not be able to match his skill or experience, he could surely overwhelm him with his youthful strength.
As he struggled to keep the boy from using his tricks, the boy was clearly thinking about his next move.
It wasn’t just momentum.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
With a metallic sound, the old man was pushed to the end of the alley.
The boy’s movements, as he analyzed his opponent’s weaknesses and clung to him, were clearly eager for victory.
Clash!
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The relentless flow of time could not stop the young man pushing him.
Vlad, annoyed by the old man’s smile, pushed his sword forward with all his might, aiming at the old man’s throat.
‘Looks promising.’
“Let’s see how long you’ll keep laughing.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
However, at that moment, Vlad felt a chilling premonition as he saw the old man’s calm smile.
“…?”
“That was a good move, but you’ve chosen the wrong opponent.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
He had never seen a knight use his body instead of a weapon to manifest Aura, but this was the first time.
“What?”
The old man’s sword… or rather, his arm, was glowing.
Seeing the old man infusing Aura into his arm instead of the sword, Vlad was left speechless and horrified.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ugh, ugh…”
“It’s quite useful, isn’t it? acoustic It’s for strengthening the body.”
The old man smiled as if presenting a toy, and then, as if it were his turn, he began to push Vlad’s sword away with all his strength.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The old man was pushing the young man back with his strength.

Vlad felt a completely different force this time, and his sword began to retreat more and more.
“If you apply it correctly, this is also possible.”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Although it should have been sharp after being recently repaired, the sword in the old man’s hands had not a drop of blood on it.
He didn’t have time to be surprised by the strange situation unfolding.
“…!”
This time, the old man’s hand glowed, and then he grabbed the boy’s sword without hesitation.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The old man’s palm, harder than steel, made it possible.
Vlad let out a choked scream inside.
‘What is this!’
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Without the voice advising him whether he was doing it on purpose or not, Vlad’s instinct told him to let go of the sword.
[…]
Then, he quickly drew Jorge’s dagger and lunged at the old man.
It was a scream that shattered any ounce of common sense he had.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The boy, without caring about pride or dignity, abandoned his sword and ran towards him as if he didn’t care.
The old man, admiring Vlad’s quick judgment, let out a sigh of admiration.
“…Ha!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Damn you!”
Surprised by the unconventional move that a well-trained knight shouldn’t make, the old man unknowingly threw a punch imbued with Aura towards the boy.
It was a bold move that only a boy with the heart of a beast could make.
Although he had felt it before, this boy truly had exceptional talent.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Although it was a fierce fight, with just one punch from the old man, Vlad staggered backwards with a dull noise.
It was just a punch.
The blow was so strong that it broke a piece of armor from the boy’s shoulder.
“Crack!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“…Ouch!”
The snake’s protection, which had been broken during the last battle, could no longer protect the boy.
But even if it was just a blow, Vlad’s resilience to sincerely provoke the old man was clearly commendable. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Are you okay?”
Probably, if Joseph or Jager were watching the current situation, they would be surprised to the point of disbelief.
Although he was regretting not controlling his strength, the old man who blamed himself headed towards the boy, but the real target he had to respond to was lying far away, apparently unconscious.
Perhaps it was a blow so strong that he lost consciousness.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Finally finding a flaw, the old man was truly satisfied as he approached the fallen boy.
“…He’s weakened a bit.”
Somehow, there was a reason for Jager’s smile.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
But when the old man took a step forward to help the boy up, he was stunned to see a pair of flashing blue eyes rushing towards him rapidly.
Gregory had said it.
No matter what happens, the flame must not be extinguished.
“…!”
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
“Damn you!”
“This is…”
And the boy has not given up yet.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
Crunch!
Immobilized and with no space to dodge, the old man had no choice but to accept the attack.
Vlad punched the old man, grabbing him with his whole body as he tried to get up.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
It was clear that Vlad’s intentions had succeeded.
“Curse you…!”
The sound of something breaking echoed in the silent alley.
Translation of Star-Embracing Swordmaster - Chapter 66: Today’s youth (2) by Indra Translations.
The last scene Vlad saw before passing out was the old man’s wrinkled forehead glowing with Aura.
Amidst his confused mind, Vlad muttered a curse with a choked voice.
