After helping out in the village, he didn't go back to the mansion but went to sleep in the village directly.
There are two reasons. First, he doesn't want to face Roswaal. After all, he had tricked Yuexing before he left. The second point, and the most important point, is that he is too lazy to leave...
Lying on a hard wooden board, covered with a not-so-thick quilt, there were unknown mosquitoes flying above.
"This...I suddenly miss the room in the mansion."
When Yuexing was in a coma, she couldn't feel the outside environment, but now it feels like she's back in an old house in the countryside. Even so, she can still accept it, and she falls asleep deeply with her body's exhaustion.
[system space]
[Long time no see, user]
A white cat in front of me put down the gun in his hand
At this time, Yuexing noticed that the system space was different from the endless white space in the past. The current space was filled with battlefield elements.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, bullet marks streaked through the air, and explosions came from time to time, making Yuexing wonder if she had arrived in a new world.
"What's happening here……"
Yuexing looked at the soldiers running past him and asked
[I have to find something to do here...]
The system's round fleshy hand waved in the air, and the space began to change. After a while, it returned to the original white color.
"I didn't expect that you still have this interest. Aren't you cultivating?" Yuexing asked
[Cultivation is going on all the time, otherwise I would have gone out to chat with you long ago]
The white cat sat on the ground, tilted his head and looked at his wagging tail, sighing slightly.
"Then what's going on now?"
[Rem's past - are you interested, user?] The white cat smiled, although he didn't know how he could see the expression on the cat's face.
"In the past? Did you mean the ghost tribe?" Yuexing recalled, because he was really not familiar with the ghost tribe.
[Yes, also wrong] The white cat stretched out its paws and shook its head
[This time it is mainly centered on Rem, not the entire ghost race]
The white cat drew a circle in the air to represent the ghosts; then he drew a small circle in the circle to represent Rem; and finally marked a dot inside the small circle to represent the moon and stars.
"Oh, you mean the whole story revolves around Rem, so there won't be much about other people." Yuexing thought as she held her chin with her right hand.
[However, I am not telling stories to the user, but sending the user in in a participating way. This is the only thing I can do after recovering for so long] The white cat sighed.
[Of course, whether you go or not depends on the user] The white cat shook his head and stood up
"Will it affect the time in the current world if I go there?" Yuexing's biggest concern is the time difference after entering.
[There must be one, otherwise why do you think I would ask the user to go now?] The white cat said disdainfully
"That means I can still enjoy my vacation when I come back." Yuexing nodded with satisfaction.
[So, are you ready? Let’s discuss the specific matters over there] The white cat waved its paw, and a formation composed of strange words appeared.
Yuexing walked to the center of the formation and nodded.
The white cat squeezed out a small part of its body to form a new white cat. The little white cat flew towards Yuexing and at the same time the system activated the formation.
[This little thing is made up of part of my will. If you have any questions, just ask it. Remember to return it to me...]
Yuexing's eyes were filled with white light, and he vaguely saw a white shadow flying towards him. After listening to what the system said, he lost consciousness.
————Boundary line————
For Rem, being compared to her "sister" is very uncomfortable, but it is part of daily life.
Among the demihumans, the strength and code possessed by the Oni are classified as an outstanding race.
The only weakness of the ghost clan is that there are too few people
Most races that can give birth to powerful individuals are unable to reproduce in large numbers, just like the dragon race.
Contrary to the huge power they hold, the Oni tribe lives a tribal life in a small and remote mountain. To protect their few compatriots and live far away from human settlements, the Oni tribe has set several strict rules.
——For the ghost tribe, twins are "taboo children"
This is also one of the strict regulations established by the ghost clan.
The ghosts are born with two horns on their heads, which are usually hidden in the skull. When the disorder evolves into a situation that shakes the ghost instinct, the horns will stick out of the head, absorbing the surrounding maya, and forcibly extinguish the maya in the atmosphere.
Submission greatly improves one's combat effectiveness. The horn is the organ that exists for this purpose. It is also the pride of the race for the ghost tribe.
But twins are different because they were born sharing two horns
In the ghost tribe, individuals who lose their horns are called "hornless persons" and lose their identity as ghost tribesmen.
A normal ghost tribe would inevitably be slandered and criticized if they lost one of their horns, let alone twins who were born without an important horn. That was something that had to be taboo. Therefore, twins were regarded as taboo children, and after birth
It has always been customary to be punished immediately
The fate of these twins was originally to come to an end at the beginning of their birth. This is why
That day, two families in the village gave birth to children. This was supposed to be a happy event.
When people arrived, they found that one of the families had twins. According to the traditional rules of the ghost clan, the children should be executed immediately.
However, the clan leader gathered the two families and all the clan members in the center of the village to discuss the life and death of the twins. Perhaps the ghost clan is really short of people now.
The final result was unsatisfactory. The result of everyone's discussion was to follow the rules.
The patriarch, who had made a bitter decision, was about to deal with the baby with his own hands. Two places released huge magic power, saving the twins from death.
One place is one of the twins, the other place is another newborn in the crowd
…
When Yuexing opened her eyes, she found that her field of vision had been enlarged a lot, and what she was holding up was a pair of fleshy hands.
"Baby?! Do you think I have to live until the Witch Cult invades?" Yuexing thought in her mind
[Yes, user, this is also a holiday for the user] The system responded
[Of course, it is a holiday with rewards...can be understood as something like a copy]
"Reward? I care more about this thing." Yuexing's subconscious projected in his mind, making a greedy expression
[Simply put, anything the user gets here is valid, and the user's race has changed at this moment] White Cat Road
"Change of race? In other words, I am now a ghost. Then if I learn how to transform into a ghost and go back..." Yuexing thought for a while and asked
[Still valid, including wounds——]
"That's no problem, it's all for nothing -" Yuexing said happily
[...Forget it, do what you like] The white cat lay on the ground and closed his eyes
Yuexing withdrew her consciousness from her mind and found herself lying in the arms of a woman
At this time, a man opened the door and walked in. After confirming that it was correct, he said
"The clan leader asked everyone to go to the village center. He said there was something important."
"But what about my child?" the woman in front of me asked.
"Take them with you too. This is what the clan leader wants." The man exited the door and walked towards the next house.
Yuexing was very curious and wanted to ask what was going on. Unexpectedly, the sound coming out of his throat was "beep, bab, bab", so he gave up.
"Hey, I'm so tired. I can't do anything and it's no fun at all."
Yuexing complained in his mind, and the white cat gave a helpless expression.
The woman hugged Yuexing and walked out of the room. Only now did Yuexing see what the village looked like.
Earth houses occupy most of the area, and there are cultivated lands on the periphery. This is nothing more than a farming civilization.
Think about it, stay away from the fireworks of the world and rely entirely on your own development. The slow progress of civilization is normal.
A lot of people gathered in the center of the village, making a lot of noise. In the center of the crowd was an altar-like thing, with two babies like Yuexing lying on it.
There were people arguing in front of the altar, a guy who looked like the patriarch, several men and a woman, it seemed... the look on the face of the woman next to him was very depressed?
The louder the discussion, the more the women's colors lose their luster, as if they have lost something vital.
After a while, a trace of bitterness and sorrow flashed across the face of the guy who looked like the patriarch, and he walked towards the two children in the center of the altar. A green light appeared on his hands?
Could it be that?! He is planning to take action?
No, no, no, that's not okay. If I remember correctly, they are Rem and Ram. If they both burp, what's the point of me coming here?
Codeye... Codeye can still be used, but the reserve is a little less, but it's still not enough... Wait a minute, what comes to mind is...corner?! With this, it must be enough to attract attention.
The patriarch's hand was about to fall when suddenly a strong magic burst out from the crowd, followed by the same magic burst out from the altar.
People looked sideways, first at the child in the crowd, and then at the two children on the altar, and started a heated discussion.
It is rare for two gifted children to appear at the same time. Moreover, they appeared under the crisis of those two children, which shows that these two children are very important.
After people discussed it, it was decided to keep the two children
Such a small opening can be considered a thing of the past.
…
The twin sister is named Ram and the younger sister is named Rem. Their status is at the bottom of the ghost clan.
In contrast, Yuexing, who was born in the same period and was named Tim, has shown powerful magic power from the beginning. The biggest difference from the twins is that he has a complete pair of horns, which makes him the highest among the ghost clan.
status
The life of the twins is definitely not smooth sailing. Although they saved their lives, they cannot get rid of the fact that they are twins.
From the beginning, he was labeled as a "hornless person" and grew up in the neglect of his family.
Even the parents who are related by blood are extremely indifferent, and the people of the same clan also make no secret of their contempt and hatred for the two uncles.
However, such a harsh environment did not last long until they all became sensible - including Yuexing.
In terms of Ram's performance as a child, the most appropriate description is "prodigy". Of course, there is another guy who also has such a title.
The two of them possess intellects that no one in the ghost clan can match in the past. Although they are young, the amount of maya that Ram can use exceeds all expectations. More importantly, the horns on his head are so beautiful that all the ghost clan are fascinated by them.
But Tim is better than Ram. He is born with strange white hair, a delicate face, and horns that exude strong magic power.
hope
Ram uses her pure white horn to show off her posture, and anyone in the same group will naturally lower their heads.
For a girl who is not yet ten years old, that is an unusual treatment
The parents who were as cold as ice, the fellow tribesmen who directly mocked and ridiculed, and even the patriarch who planned to kill the newborn sister with his own hands had nothing to say in front of Ram's majesty.
Of course, another point is that Tim always likes to play with twins, which makes other people helpless against twins.
When the three of them come together, the brilliance of Ram and Tim is enough to offset Rem's shortcomings
Because we respect powerful individuals, we are respectful when facing powerful beings.
Precisely because the ghosts have such habits, there is no reason to respect Ram
Walking on clumsy steps, following the superior "sister" in front of him, with the equally superior "brother" beside him, walking on this road of glory is Rem's daily life
He doesn't have any outstanding talents, and the amount of maya he can use is very average. As a ghost, his abilities are the same as those of a ghost with only one horn.
Completely different from the other two, without any self-confidence. He always hides behind them and shrinks, imitating every move of his sister like a shadow.
That was young Rem's way of life, and it was her way of protecting her immature soul. Even though Tim was by Rem's side to enlighten her every day, the situation still didn't get better.
