Chapter 378.1
Aldrit responded cautiously, his brow furrowing in thought. “Apart from the name, do you have any other details? In our tribe, it’s quite common for multiple individuals to share the same name, as we often pay homage to our ancestors in such a manner.”
“He was a man, and in terms of age… Although he has passed away, if he were alive today, he’d be in his early sixties.”
Aldrit strained his memory, but no one fitting that description came to mind. Being relatively young himself, his recollections of the past were limited, especially concerning older members of the tribe who had since departed. He resolved to consult the elder members back at the hideout.
“He left home at a young age, and I’ve heard he had a younger brother named Mur.”
Aldrit struggled to respond, his words coming out in hesitant fragments as he tried to recall. Yet, when Pered mentioned the name, Aldrit was taken aback.
“Mur?”
The name resonated deeply within Aldrit, akin to hearing the name of his own father or the former chieftain of the tribe. Mur, in his mid-fifties, matched the approximate age, and Aldrit knew he had an older brother who had long passed away. Aldrit often heard Mur speak fondly of his late brother.
“Aldrit, seeing you reminds me of my brother. You share many traits with him. I’m not referring to your appearance, but your character. My brother, much like you, displayed maturity beyond his years from a young age.”
There had to be a reason why Mur held Aldrit in such high regard, appointing him as his successor.
