章節 288: Gone

Before long, Oech's room went dark. Although the torches had gone out, he was still awake. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

With a wave of his hand, Himmel Soan put out his torches as well. Instead of going to bed, he sat quietly on a wooden chair.

The night soon passed. The villagers got up when the sun was about to rise, and the sky was a lighter shade of gray.

It was the ideal time to start hunting. All kinds of animals would come out at this hour to look for food, and the villagers also got up as early as the animals.

They would return before the sunset. Staying outside at night was too dangerous. Powerful magical beasts would roam the woods at night, and it was impossible for the villagers to fend off the beasts. That was why they went out and came back early.

Oech woke up at the usual hour. He didn't sleep well the night before, but it was time to get up. He had to go out and hunt.
