Chapter 24: The Fear of the Unknown

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.

"Whew~~~Fright~~Whew~~~~Fow~~" Twilight's face flushed, and he gasped a little as he poured the water from the bucket into the sink, and after glancing at the water level in the sink that was gradually rising but still not being able to fill half of the sink, Twilight picked up the bucket again and ran down the waterfall.

Counting the previous one, this is the fifth round trip of Twilightstar, this round trip is really not easy to run, after all, this dam is too high, although the side of the hill can be climbed, but it is also very steep, and this is the farthest place from the waterfall around this reservoir, the middle route is quite far, and Twilight Star has to carry two buckets of water back and forth, the difficulty can be imagined.

At first, it was fine, with E-class physical fitness, it was nothing, but after many back and forth, Twilight would inevitably feel tired.

"It seems that I still had too little training before, otherwise how could such a journey make me tired like this so quickly." On the way downhill, Twilight thought to herself.

As mentioned before, the training that Granus arranged for Twilight Star was basically based on the core idea of laying the foundation, although Granus was very dissatisfied with the conventional soft rule that the child who suddenly appeared at some time in the clan was not allowed to undergo some high-intensity and dangerous training under a certain age, and he did not pay attention to it.

But in his opinion, Twilight's age is too young, and all kinds of training at this age are very early in their race, so they will unconsciously reduce the intensity of all kinds of training, after all, in his unaware, Twilight Star has no need to be anxious, because the time is still very long, if there is really any dangerous enemy, naturally there are him Granus, there are their elves, and even the goddess to protect Twilight from the wind and rain.

This can be seen from Twilight's usual training, although Twilight looks tired every day, but from the fact that he still has the energy to meditate every night, although Dawn uses the power of light to relieve Twilight's fatigue, but that is only physical, Dawn has never cast a high-level light spell that can restore the spirit, usually only releases a weak light power on Twilight's body, and then Twilight involuntarily absorbs it without knowing it.

Because of these reasons, Twilight's usual training is some physical exercise, as well as basic training in swords and shields and magic training, and the magic training is because of Twilight's own reasons and that powerful talent to have the current E+ level strength, if Twilight really puts his heart into training, it will never be only the spirit and spirit of the current E-level, at least it should reach the E+ level.

But then again, Twilight Star feels that the physical fitness of the E-class is not much better than that of the F-class, is this the junior warrior in Granus's mouth? Is this why both E-Class and F-Class are junior fighters?

It's not that there is no difference between E-class and F-class, on the contrary, E-class is much stronger than F-class, and Twilight can feel that his current E-class physical fitness is at least ten times that of the former F-class, but this is only an increase in physical fitness, if it is just that, it can be said that this is 120% of the F-class, 150% instead of becoming an E-class after crossing 100%.

There must be something different, otherwise how would the Lord God define the level of power of an apostle in this way.

Twilight shook his head, and continued to run as the silver hair danced in the breeze to the back of his mind, how could such a complex and inexplicable question be his concern, and doing what was in front of him was the right thing to do.

However, no matter how hard Twilight tried, he had to rest at the altar after carrying the water twice again, as the sun was about to set completely.

In that kind of dark night, he didn't dare to act at will, it was safest to find a place to rest, and when he was in the forest, there were glowing plants at night to provide a little bit of faint light, but there was nothing on the reservoir, except for the huge reservoir that seemed so vast that he couldn't see the edge, there was only bare land around, and Twilight even suspected that the mountain had been hollowed out, except for some places on the edge where he was staying now, The rest has been dug up and expanded into part of the reservoir.

So it seems that now the mountain is like a cup full of water on the ground? And it is also a cup that can produce its own water, and the dam outside is a small crack at the top of this cup, which keeps the water in the cup flowing outward, just maintaining a strange balance with the amount of water produced by itself in the cup.

Twilight sat on the thirty-meter-high altar, silently watching the last rays of sunset disappear in the sky, and darkness reigned between heaven and earth...... Dark... Dark?

"What? Wasn't it all dark every time before, why is there still a light source here? Twilight in front of him looked at the dark sky with a disgruntled expression.

Twilight lowered her head, searching for a light source. Soon, he noticed that it was the water bottle in the center of the reservoir that was constantly spewing water, and from where Twilight was now, it was a dark green point of light, because it was so far away that if it wasn't for standing on the high altar, Twilight might have to look for it for a while.

At this time, the bottle was constantly emitting a faint green halo, which would not only shine on Twilight's face, but also shroud the entire reservoir in a dark green, and the original dark blue lake water had turned green, and the vicinity was already like a ghost domain.

"What's going on? That bottle still has this function? Twilight stared nervously at the glowing bottle.

Originally, a light in the darkness should have been a feeling of hope and dawn, or like a fairyland, but now the scene is like filming a horror drama, the faint green halo does not bring even the slightest joy to Twilight, but only brings all kinds of negative emotions, tension, anxiety, doubts, and worries.

Worry about whether there will be any monsters or the like at night here, the unknown is the greatest horror, and fear also comes from the unknown, why even if people who are indifferent to death will inevitably have fear in the face of death? Because he doesn't know what the world after death is, because he doesn't know, so he is afraid.

So why do those who look forward to death, who desire suicide, do this? Aren't they afraid? That's because they already have in their minds the world after their death, and they are convinced of it, whether the imagination of the world has been instilled into them or they have made up for it, but they undoubtedly know it.

Twilight would rather there be no light here, and if it was dark, he would be better off than he is now, and the light would make this place like a ghost.

Twilight Star was nervous, looking around with a guarded face, and at the slightest movement, he would immediately summon his weapon into combat mode. But after a long time, nothing happened here, only the water bottle was still emitting a faint green halo, but he still couldn't let go, and he didn't dare to leave the altar.

After a long time, Twilight still didn't have any thoughts of letting his guard down, and he even felt that he was a little too nervous, was it called nervousness or mental hypersensitivity? Even though he felt very tired from carrying water back and forth before, even if he was even more exhausted from concentrating on the surroundings for so long, even if he was a little drowsy now, Twilight still forced himself to cheer up.

"Hmm~~" Twilight Star frowned and covered his thighs with a small face, tears in his watery eyes were about to hurt out, in order to cheer up, pain was the most effective method, but he used too much force at once, he didn't dare to use a knife, first, he was afraid that if there was an accident, he would probably have to reduce his combat effectiveness if he was injured, and second, blood, if he used a knife, there would definitely be a wound.

Even if he was healed by casting light magic as fast as he could, bleeding was inevitable.

What if nothing else happened, but what monsters were attracted because of the smell of blood? Twilight has never forgotten the shadows that once appeared in the reservoir.

Twilight has been staying up like this, after all, he used to be a sniper, and he still has experience in this area, but it's the first time to stay up like this when he's so tired now, but Capricorn is so willful, and even he's afraid of himself when he's serious, and he won't sleep if he says he doesn't sleep!

Finally, the dawn broke, a morning light gradually lit up from afar, everything began to revive, a new day came, the water bottle that had been emitting a dark green halo began to converge after being illuminated by the morning light, and the green water of the lake also changed back to the dark blue color.

"It's finally dawn." Twilight's dark eyes were bloodshot, and he stood up tiredly, stumbling and nearly falling when he got up, swearing that he would never spend the night next to the reservoir again, and now he needed to find a place to rest.

Twilight slowly ran down the hill, first took out the Diplodocus meat that he had stored before, then made a fire to roast the meat, and then had a good meal, the once difficult to swallow pieces of meat seemed to have become delicious, after eating and drinking, Twilight found a tall tree and climbed up, covered his mouth and yawned after fixing himself, he was finally able to take a good rest.

Twilight slept soundly, only to wake up when the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, shining the warm sunlight on his face through the gaps in the dense foliage.
