My sister is Luna
Chapter 4 Exploring the truth
In the evening, the people of the clan returned, chatting and laughing, clearly very satisfied with the martial arts tournament.
They leisurely entered the village and soon discovered the five corpses of bandits lying there. They were immediately shocked. The village was very remote and hidden, with a maze-like layout. They never thought that outsiders would find the village. The joyful atmosphere was swept away. They hurriedly searched each room and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Luna and Cain were safe and sound in the room.
"I was so scared, my children, thank goodness you're all alright." Mother Catherine said, hugging Cain and Luna tightly, still shaken. She hadn't fully recovered from the fear of almost losing her children. Father Kate was also by their side, stroking the two children's heads, expressing his unspoken love.
"Children, thankfully you're all alright. Every child is a treasure to our tribe, and losing any one of them would be a great loss to our tribe. But seeing that you're all safe and sound puts my mind at ease. It's truly a blessing from heaven." The chieftain, smiling kindly, walked over and reached out to touch Cain and Luna's heads. Cain endured the touch with disgust, because although the chieftain was middle-aged, he always had a faint aura of decay about him, which made Cain feel inexplicably nauseous and disgusted, as if something was rotting and spoiled, but upon closer inspection, it would disappear.
You would only care so much about us, the sacrifices in the inheritance ceremony.
Cain dismissed such concern with disdain.
As a time traveler who had studied the background of the King of Glory world, he naturally knew what the so-called succession ceremony for electing the head of the family was, and he also knew what kind of monstrous distortion the so-called "head of the family" of each generation was.
But what puzzled him most was that the seven people participating in the inheritance ceremony would merge into a new "person," but didn't the parents of those participants know this? Wouldn't they be confused? Wouldn't they feel pain? Didn't they resist? Could they really be so heartless as to watch their children die and merge into a completely unfamiliar "person"? For Luna's future, it was necessary for Cain to delve deeper into this inheritance ceremony for all these questions to be answered. The answer might lie within it.
Oh, and there's also a hidden crisis lurking throughout the entire continent of Kings. The Fallen God, Di Jun, is still lurking in the Land of Warriors (the Western World), waiting for his chance to make a comeback and control everyone. He is the greatest enemy of the entire continent. Fortunately, he can only use his followers to plot things now. Some of the Twelve Wonders are unknown even to Cain, because the official story of Kings of Glory was not finished before he transmigrated. There are still many unknowns waiting for him, but he should deal with the immediate issues first and then focus on the long-term matters.
After resolving Luna's matter, he might take a long trip after he comes of age to see the different scenery of the King's Continent. He might even meet and fight alongside the heroes in the game.
"Luna, Cain, can you tell me who killed those five thieves?" the chieftain asked. The thieves broke into the house, only to find them all lying neatly together, while the two children left at home were unharmed. It was clearly the work of a skilled killer, and everyone was curious about who had done it.
"A handsome older brother knocked them down! He suddenly appeared, drew his longsword, and with a few swift strokes, those bad guys were dead," Luna excitedly recounted, echoing Cain's words. She even improvised a few exaggerated actions on the spot.
Well done, little sister!
Cain gave Luna an approving look.
The chieftain then looked at Cain, who silently nodded, confirming that what Luna said was true.
"It seems a passing hero did indeed save you," the clan chief speculated, glancing at Cain before adding regretfully, "It's a pity we didn't see him in person to properly thank him."
"It's alright, Grandpa Chief, I'll become as powerful as my big brother and bring him back!" Little Luna comforted him, acting like a little adult.
"Hahaha... Alright, alright, then little Luna, do your best in the inheritance ceremony 11 years from now." The clan chief couldn't help but laugh.
Upon hearing this, Cain's disgust for the clan chief intensified.
Luna is just acting; I will never let Luna become this so-called sacrifice!
"Yes!" Luna nodded emphatically. I will definitely become a strong person like my brother!
Knowing it was all a false alarm and there was no loss, the clansmen offered a few words of comfort, expressed their gratitude to their "big brother hero," and then went home.
……
The incident of "burglary" was gradually forgotten by people a few months later. During this time, Luna showed interest and love for the moon hanging high in the night sky, which made Cain happy but also a little worried.
That day, the clan chief summoned several prominent figures from the village, and then left the village amidst the farewells of the clan members. It was said that they were going to attend some very important meeting.
this is a good chance!
It was only then that Cain finally remembered the so-called succession ceremony.
There was a chance when the thieves broke in last time, but the younger sister was afraid and didn't want Cain to leave. However, when Cain saw those pitiful eyes, he softened and decided to stay with Luna, thus missing the opportunity.
My sister is currently cultivating, and the clan leader has also left, so we can put our plan into action.
The clan chief's room is located in the center of the village, and it has been the room of all the clan chiefs for many years without change.
There was no one around now. I carefully observed my surroundings and found that everyone had gone out to work or to the market. There would be no witnesses.
Two hours after the clan chief and the others had left, Cain figured they must have traveled quite a distance by now. He quickly slipped inside with his sword, closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The patriarch's room was simple and clean, with only a bed, a large rectangular table, six stools, and a large bookshelf against the wall, filled with many books, including the patriarch's own collection and the family's history and secrets, which could only be viewed with the patriarch's permission.
Cain glanced at the bookshelves, row by row. Books like "The Book of Higher Magic," "The Great Compendium of Martial Arts," "The General Theory of Mechanical Arts," and "The Great Age of the Gods"—books of knowledge that other scholars craved—flashed past his eyes. Oh, right, there were also books on basic skills like "Flash," "Execute," "Purify," and "Weaken," which consumed a lot of resources but could be surprisingly useful in crucial moments. He might be interested in learning those at other times, but definitely not now.
