Tides: Years of Dawn

Crewe returned to his home three days later.

Gao Wen was very reluctant to let Crewe leave just like that, but he suffered from the fact that he had to go to work in the church the next day, and Crewe had just taken the position of head of the family, and many family affairs had not been sorted out.So even though there were 1 reluctances in my heart, I still watched Crewe disappear into the night.

Lemarlock was arguing that he must go with Crewe, and Gawain had no choice but to agree.

But looking back, in this way, Crewe would be able to send Lemarlock back on the weekend of the second week, so that it would be logical to let him stay at the sea monster's house again - thinking about it this way, Gawain didn't have any complaints.

After all, both of them are the heads of the two families, and the family business should be the most important thing in everything.

After returning to the octopus' house, Crewe placed Lemarlock in the room next door that originally belonged to Elena.However, all the things in the room have been changed, and he specially asked his servants to embellish the totem of the sea monster family.He hoped this would create a sense of familiarity and dependence in Lemarlock, making it more natural for him to consider Crewe as his own blood relative.

This is based on two considerations, one of which is that Crewe must maintain his close relationship with Lemarlock. After all, Lemarlock is the second son of the sea monster family. If there is a crack in his relationship with Gawain in the future, Lamar Locke will serve as a great glue.

The other point is out of his true feelings for Lemarlock.

Crewe has not forgotten the role Lemallock played in his two life nodes. His brother is not a brother and has no future children.And he is willing to give these two types of emotions to this little guy, and he also hopes that one day he will really be able to protect him and watch him grow up.

When July rolled around, Tristan and Gareth set out anyway.The two of them had a tacit understanding, got up to wash up, tidy up, and took advantage of the bright sky to go out.

Scovid woke up before going out, and he muttered asking where they were going.

Tristan said to go for a walk and let him go back to sleep.

Scovid seemed to sense that something was wrong, rubbed his eyes and sat up directly.

Gareth and Tristan looked at each other, the former suddenly smiled, and asked—"What do you want to eat tonight, we will bring it back with you."

These words finally reassured Scoweed, but he lay down, sat up suddenly as if thinking of something, ran over barefoot and grabbed Gareth's cuff, and asked—"I...we... Are we burdening you?"

"What the hell are you talking about," Tristan said this time, annoyed angrily—"You just go back to sleep, and we'll be back when we wake up."

Scoved swallowed tangledly, and slowly moved back to the bed step by step.

After going out of the house and walking to the shore, the old hunter found the boat prepared for them by the octopus family.

The two got on the boat and sailed all the way to the location of the Yin Yang Gate.

The sea witch's boat is fast, even if there is no wind, there is magic power to push them forward.The sky brightened completely, and then slowly darkened.

They sailed through the rays of sunshine, overcast clouds, and a little bit of drizzle, and finally the surrounding fog engulfed them tightly.

The door was not far away, and the door frame seemed to be condensed with thick fog.Soft and white.The blue water flowed from one side to the other, while the otherworldly sky was still thundering and lightning, and heavy clouds weighed heavily on the sea.

Tristan lowered the anchor and stopped beside a rock.

He tossed Gareth a cigarette, and the two lit a small fire, looking out at the world on the other side.

Tristan was hesitating, yes, even though he knew there was a lot involved on this side, he was still hesitating.

He is over 40 years old, and spent the first 20 years in Lu Wu's world, and the next 20 years in the negative world.

He is trying his best to adapt and understand each world, in order to survive and protect Gareth at the same time.

But he is now in the sea witch's world, and he knows nothing about this land.All previous cognitions must be discarded, and then use the rusty brain to explore and learn again.

Rather than saying that he is reluctant to part with the opposite world, it is better to say that he is reluctant to part with the path he has already traveled.So he needed to come here and take one last look at his past.

Someone on the other side of the world is shouting, and the steel ship is heaving in the waves.The artillery fire was more intense than before Tristan left, and the alternating red and yellow lights were as dazzling as the confrontation he had seen in Lu Wu World before.

There was a roar in the sky, and steel monsters hovered in the gloomy sky.They dropped bullet after bullet, and the bullets hit the boats, the water, and the flesh of men.

In an instant, the fleshy body exploded into a flower of blood that was more brilliant than the cannon fire.

The guns with flying bullets were carried on the shoulders, held in the hands, and some were directly clamped on the brackets, lifted up to the sky, and pulled the roaring iron birds into the ocean.

Weapons have become more advanced, but the heart to kill each other has not changed.Whether in another world or in the present, human beings seem to be unable to escape their bloodthirsty nature.

Tristan finished his cigarette and smoked another.

Until the two hunters silently emptied the whole box of sea smoke - Tristan looked at the sky and nodded to Gareth.

They didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but they knew it would be a farewell.

The tide of life pushes them forward, always to strange places.Then after they finally got to know each other, they forced them to part, and forced them to cut off the past.

What a cruel thing this is, but it seems that it is because of this that people can be reminded at the moment of separation how strong feelings they have had.

They took the anchor and floated on their way back.

The fog gradually dissipated and the sky gradually darkened.

When they returned to the hut, they suddenly remembered that they hadn't bought anything.

That's okay, though, because Scoved lit a bonfire.He and the beasts had cast nets and fished.At this moment, a few cooked fish are being placed on the plate, and the aroma can be smelled from a distance.

Scoweed was sitting in front of the bonfire in distress. He waited all day, from dawn to dark, and his mood sank a little bit as time passed.

Until now, he has even concluded that everyone will be abandoned again.

Now that his brain is getting better and better, he can see that the beasts are dragging down the hunter.So he couldn't help consoling himself—even if they abandoned it, it was normal, and even if they abandoned it, they were still their benefactors.

So when he saw the hunter come back, he thought he was hallucinating.

He stood up in a panic, and staggered towards the old hunter.He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, he hesitated for a long time, and in the end he could only say one thing - "I, I thought... you won't be returning."

"Why don't you go back?" Tristan gave Scovid a glance.

Scoved shook his head, then nodded again.

He couldn't tell, but at that moment, he felt very satisfied.

The hunters on the island need to cut off the past, and the same is true for the sea people on the territory of Lu Wu.

When Geraint fled from Yanhu's town to Dusk City, he was exhausted.He avoided the crowded streets, entered Heisheng Street and found a small hotel, where he slept for three days and three nights.

He slept poorly, but was too tired to really wake up.When he was sleeping, he held the gold coin tightly in his arms, and as long as there was the slightest sound, he would immediately wake up.

He always felt that everything around him was unreal, and he was afraid that someone would break into him halfway through his sleep, drag him out of the bed, beat him severely, and tie him back with chains and shackles.

Such a trembling mood accompanied him for half a month, during which he neither saw his pursuer nor heard any news about his escape.

And he inquired about the relationship between Chilang and Yanhu, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the relationship between the two was relatively rigid and that they would not invade each other's territories.

Probably he chose the right place to escape. No matter how long and powerful the casino owner's hand is, it may be difficult to reach the red wolf's land.

In the last week of this month, he walked outside when he had nothing to do.He visited all three wizarding streets, and finally settled on an abandoned shop not far from the street where the hotel was located.

He didn't shop around, because when he first passed the door of the shop, he recognized the emblems of his family and the octopus family on the dilapidated door panels.

At that moment, he had mixed feelings, his eyes turned red, and he quickly covered his face with his hands.

He sniffed hard, trying to hold back his tears.

He thought of the male jellyfish he met on the boat, the store address stuffed in his shoe, the secret about the death of Debbie and his father Barrow, the Crewe, the wand, the potion of redemption, And those power struggles and sacrifices that he can't understand.

He pushed open the door of the shop, walked in, closed the door, and stayed inside with the worms for a day and a night, completely immersed in darkness and memories.

And when the sky brightened up again and the light came through the crack of the door, he pushed the wooden door open and walked back to the hotel.

It took him a fortnight to find the Warden of Wizard Street, who placed a large bag of gold coins on the handsome carved wooden table.

He said - "I'm going to buy that store, I don't know if the money is enough."

The manager said enough, enough, but that store has been abandoned for a long time, are you sure you want to buy it?I can't vouch for your business, and I can't help you with the decor of your store--you know, the way it is, I'm afraid I could knock it down with a hammer.

Geraint didn't care about all of this.The moment he met the store, he knew he was destined to take root here.

It was the revelation Leviathan gave him, and he believed that this would be the ship he must take before reaching the next dock.

The new store opened three months later, and he recreated the plaque on opening day.He didn't print his own family crest, just a big human character - G.

He will sell his own venom inside, and every penny he earns this time will belong to his own pocket.

The plaque went up amid the yelling of the workers, and he instructed the workers to go a little to the left and then a little to the right.But no matter how I looked at the plaque, I was not satisfied, so I called the workers down again.

He looked at the huge letter G in silence, and after a while, he suddenly said to the carpenter next to him—"Add an octopus for me, right next to the letter."

The carpenter was stunned for a moment, and asked back—"Does the pharmacy have anything to do with the octopus?"

"It's okay," Geraint replied, "I just wanted to add it all of a sudden."

Geraint seemed to have told a lie, but he felt it was also the truth.

He really wants a new life, complete freedom, and a clean break with the past, so that he can set sail towards a better shore.

But there was one thing he didn't want to forget.

It was two worn gold coins in his pocket, and it was a small octopus with rolling eyes on the plaque.

The day Juventus officially entered Firestone Castle to join the regular army, Hilna failed to come to see her off.

Juventus expressed his understanding of this, and Shirna soon became a ready master, and she was no longer a partner who could accompany her at any time.And the day Juventus came out of Flintstone Castle, she had to kneel down for Shirna, and she had to call her—my master, my king.

It was Leier who came to meet these jellyfish soldiers. The moment he opened the door, he hardly recognized that the other party was Juventus.

Of course, Juve didn't recognize him either.

The heavy stone door opened, and Rael got a glimpse of the outside world.Then the stone door closed rumblingly, but he didn't look back for a long time.

Juventus waited quietly beside him, and other soldiers also waited quietly.No one made a sound, as if they were lifelike stone statues.

After a while, Leyle came back to his senses, gave a speech to the soldiers, and then allocated dormitories to them, introducing the training platform, cafeteria, arena and assessment room of Fort Firestone.

When everything was settled, Juwen suddenly asked him—"Are you... Are you a friend of the former student council vice president, Gawain Leviathan?"

When these words were said, Rael was obviously taken aback.

Then he laughed and nodded.

"Yes," he said, "it's been a long time since anyone said that, and I haven't realized it yet."

After that, the two didn't talk much until Rael was about to leave and let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the environment, then suddenly stopped and turned back to Juventus.

He asked, "How is Gao Wen recently?"

Juventus replied calmly - "He is fine, he has successfully combined with the assistant, and is about to usher in the second trial."

"Auxiliary is—"

"Cru Opus, the youngest son of the octopus family." Juventus said in a very light tone, but Rael could hear every word clearly.

"Okay, okay..." Rael nodded, smiled again, and added - "He will definitely pass the second trial."

"I hope so." Juventus also reluctantly responded with a smile, ending the conversation between the two.

That day, the sky outside Firestone Castle was red.Red like fire, red like blood.Even the waves were dyed the color of the sky, churning and beating like a lake of fire burning in hell.

Crewe stood by the sea, with little Lemarlock sitting beside him.

Lemarlock liked to hear Crewe tell stories, stories of sea monsters, of hell, of elves, and of imps.

Crewe said that those stories were hidden in the River of Tears, and then the River of Tears entered the sea and melted into the bottom of the sea.

"Where's the River of Tears?" Lemarlock asked, patting the surf so that the webs between his fingers were wet with the warmth of the waves.

"Under the Sinner's Drawbridge," Crewe said, "where every imp must pass."

"Why do you have to pass by?" Lemarlock asked again, his hair was also dyed red, and the color looked the same as Crewe's tentacles.

"You can only grow up after you have passed." Crewe said, touching Lemarlock's head with his tentacles.

"How...is it called growing up?" Lemarlock asked again, he grabbed Crewe's tentacles, pinched them, rolled them together again, and buried them in sand.

Crewe turned his eyes and looked towards the blood-colored world.Instead of answering Lemarlock's question, he asked him—"Do you want to marry the Swordwhale girl?"

Lemarlock gave a long "uh—" and looked up at Crewe, and replied innocently—"I don't know. It depends on whether I like her or not, whether she looks good..."

Crewe said, "That proves that you haven't grown up yet."

"Will I want to marry her when I grow up?" Lemarlock shook his head and buried Crewe's tentacles deeper with sand.

"No," Crewe said in a low voice, handing the other tentacle to Lemarlock—"When you grow up, you will know what your brother's decision really means."

Yes, Lemarlock made a marriage contract. Before he understood what love and marriage are, he had already planned his emotional route.

Crewe objected to this, but Gawain did not listen.

Gawain believed that the sword whale began to show favor to the sea monster because of remorse, but Crewe believed that the nature of human beings is not so easy to change.

"Then have you walked over? Have you grown up?" Lemarlock's sudden question interrupted Crewe's thoughts.

Crewe shook his head and replied - "No, I'm in the middle of the drawbridge."
