Tides: Years of Dawn

Just as Crewe thought, he didn't wait to have a few words with Geraint at all, and Geraint disappeared after leaving the classroom of the spell class.

Crewe was a little sad, he moved slowly back to the spell classroom, sat on the steps and didn't want to go back.

The spell classroom has no ceiling. Strictly speaking, it is not even a classroom, but a huge square composed of high and low steps.

The entire square is full of large stone blocks with flat cuts, and only a row of fences are erected on the edge of the square to draw a clear boundary between the classroom and the outside.

Sea people's spells always have a large range. The wider the distance between people, the easier it is for them to cast their power.

Sea people are wizards who use natural power. They don't learn many spells. Unlike the spells on land that have different formulas for each effect, there are only seven types of natural spells: rain spell, dust spell, lightning spell, and frost spell. Curse, hurricane spell, synaesthesia spell, communication spell.

Starting at the age of ten, they will spend a whole year learning a spell every year.This year, what they need to learn is the wind curse.

It is a spell that summons the wind.Depending on the level of mana used by the wizard, wind levels ranging from a breeze to a tornado can be summoned.The wind speed level and total duration are determined by the wizard's power, and wizards who overuse the Hurricane Charm will experience dizziness, delirium, and coma.

It's just that there is still a long way between the wind spell that Crewe has learned and the real hurricane spell. He must not be able to blow up a tornado like his brothers and sisters.

He waved his tentacles, and the pages of the book rattled under his fingertips.Yes, that's the best he can do.And as soon as he tried to concentrate again, he felt drained and dizzy.

Now even the little breeze between his fingers is not strong enough, the pages of the book are turning lazily, as if he can't wake up no matter how much he screams.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the large hardcover book suddenly snapped, and the whole book was blown shut by a precise and sharp wind.

Startled, Crewe looked up to see the translucent boy standing next to him.

That's Andre sitting next to him, and he's a jellyfish.At this moment, he was crossing his hands in front of his chest, looking at Crewe friendly-"I have to clean up, why don't you leave?"

Crewe nodded silently.He forgot that he couldn't stay in the classroom after school, or he would cause trouble for the same period of cleaning today.So he quickly stuffed the book into the satchel, got up and moved it from the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" Andre saw that Crewe was in a bad mood, and ran a few steps around to Crewe.He can't touch any contemporaries easily, and he can't control his own toxins well.Otherwise, even if you touch someone out of good intentions, the other person may have serious symptoms of poisoning.

So he is always used to standing in front of others. After all, he doesn't speak loudly, and when he shouts at people's backs, others always ignore him.

But of course, that's just in the day-to-day relationship, and no one can ignore him in the classroom, because he is the kind of outstanding student that Crewe desperately wants to be.

Crewe had seen the wind spell released by Andre. The small whirlwind was very similar to the one released by Geraint with a magic wand.But Andre doesn't need a magic wand, he can do it with a snap of his fingers.

Andre blinked, looked around to see if there was no one around, moved a little closer, and asked in a low voice—"Did Geraint run out again?"

Crewe sighed.

Andre was kind to Crewe, or rather sympathized with him a little.He felt that Crewe valued Geraint as a friend, but Geraint didn't seem to care.

Andre was a little aggrieved by the ignorance, especially after seeing Crewe foolishly stammering cover for Geraint, he thought—"You should tell Geraint that you don't like this, To be honest, I think the mentor doesn't believe the excuses you made for him at all, not only will you not be able to help Geraint, but it will also lower your evaluation in front of the mentor."

Of course Crewe knew, but what could he do.Geraint said please he thinks highly of him, and Crewe also hopes that he can help Geraint a little bit.

"He may have something very important..."

"What important things can he have!" Andre said angrily, "He's not doing his job all day long, for a guy like him who can live for a long time, he should be properly called—"

"Crue!" Andre didn't finish, another person called him from behind.

Crewe turned his head and saw Gawain waving to him outside the classroom.

Gao Wen's expression was very serious, and even Andre instantly forgot what he wanted to say just now, and asked curiously—"Chairman? You know the chairman?"

Crewe shook his head, "It's not considered acquaintance, it's just that he came to us once a few days ago."

Gawain beckoned to him again, signaling Crewe to come out quickly.

But Crewe was a little hesitant, and he was a little scared every time someone put on an expression of asking questions.But Andre was one step ahead of him, walking towards Gao Wen.

Seeing Andre chatting with Gao Wen, Andre also signaled Crewe to come out.

Crewe had no choice but to pinch the shoulder strap of the small bag, and timidly moved it in front of Gawain.He looked up at Gawain, but couldn't find the little sea monster that climbed onto his shoulder today.

Without the little sea monster as his companion, Gawain looked even more serious and terrifying.So Crewe hurriedly lowered his head again, his gaze fell on the scales of Gawain's right hand.

Gawain held Crewe's shoulders, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

After speaking, he nodded to Andre, and took Crewe away without any explanation.

Gao Wen was tall and walked with big steps.Crewe had to swing a few tentacles quickly to keep up with Gawain's speed.

They walked around the winding corridors, passed through the moss-covered backyard, and then climbed up a winding and rugged stone staircase before arriving at the dormitory of the senior seniors.

The higher the grade, the higher the dormitory floor. Gao Wen is about to graduate, so his dormitory is located on the highest floor.In addition, he is the chairman of the student union, so his dormitory is different from the ordinary dormitory wooden door, replaced by a movable stone slab.

Crewe was pushed into the dormitory by Gawain, and the stone door closed behind him.Before Crewe could speak, he was carried by Gawain and thrown onto a sofa. Then Gawain went around behind the desk and threw something wrapped in a black cloth bag in front of Crewe.

The cloth bag made a slight sound when it fell to the ground. Judging from the sound and the shape of the cloth bag, there seemed to be a box inside.

"What's going on here!" Gao Wen questioned, "What are you and Geraint trying to do? You want to be fired, right?"

After being yelled at by Gao Wen, Crewe panicked even more.He was stunned for a while before he remembered that he should open the cloth bag to have a look, so he quickly picked up the cloth bag from the ground and untied the slipknot to find out.

The moment he saw the contents of the cloth bag, Crewe let out a breath of cool air.

"I...I don't know..." Crewe's eyes burst into tears, he didn't know how this thing was here, it should be on Geraint's body.Geraint loved it so much that he not only wrapped it in layers of isolation cloth, but also stuffed it into the pillow.

That's right, it was the magic wand that Geraint took good care of.

"You don't know?" Gawain snorted coldly, and asked back—"Then it floated across the ocean by itself and landed on our island, didn't it?"

"No, no, no..." Crewe cried.

He didn't want to lie, but he didn't know how to explain it.He really didn't know, but if he told Gao Wen the truth, it would be tantamount to exposing the fact that Geraint had sneaked out.

He didn't know whether it was worse to bring the wand back, or to sneak out.And Gao Wen's voice was very loud, making his mind messed up, but he didn't know what to do.

"Don't cry!" Gawain yelled, he grabbed Crewe's wrist, not allowing him to bury his face in it, and warned sharply—"I don't care whether you or Geraint did these two things, I hope you can hear me clearly—you are no longer breaking the school rules, you are breaking the law!"

Wands are the top three contraband items in the Rift Rocks.Although most seafolk have never seen a wand, they have an innate sense of ore.

Gao Wen inadvertently felt that there were different stones in Geraint's room during his inspection, so he asked the housekeeper to open the door. Unexpectedly, what he saw was so much beyond his imagination that he didn't even dare to I told the dormitory manager about it, but rewrapped it with isolation cloth and brought it back to my dormitory.

The isolation cloth can prevent the ore from being perceived as much as possible, but it must be that Geraint walked too hastily, and inadvertently opened a corner of the cloth, so that the power of the ore contained in the core of the wand was transmitted as if nothing .

Geraint just committed the crime of poisoning sea crocodiles, which made Gawain pay more attention to this kid, and sea monsters are more sensitive to ore than others, so that he didn't let go of this strange thing, and touched Geraint's hiding place. secret.

He could believe that Crewe knew nothing about the poisoning of sea crocodiles, but he could never believe that he knew nothing about wands either.

The existence of the magic wand is the biggest challenge to the sea people. It is the weapon that human wizards used to slaughter the sea people. Its existence is the biggest mockery of the sea people's inability to cast spells as accurately as human wizards.

So it's not just that the sea people are reluctant to talk about wands, even the law expressly prohibits bringing such things into the Rift Rock Islands.

Most of the sea people's laws are not linked to age, that is to say, if Crewe and Geraint are convicted, it will not only be as simple as "expelled" as Gawain said, but they will also be thrown into the north. In the big prison, at least ten or eight years are spent in it, and at most they spend half their lives in it.

Crewe seemed to have realized the seriousness of the problem. His eyes were swollen from crying, and it was impossible to speak properly.

Gao Wen, on the other hand, kept looking at him indifferently, regretting the previous time he had spared the net.

Geraint has never been a well-behaved boy, Gawain should have expected that there will be a second time after the first time.It's just that he didn't expect that these problems followed one after another so closely that even Gao Wen didn't know how to help.

"Where is Geraint?" Gawain asked, the only thing that can reduce Crewe's punishment now is to let Geraint take all the crimes.

He believed that Geraint didn't want to implicate Crewe, after all, the previous crime was also done to help Crewe take revenge.

But Crewe didn't know either, he wanted to find Geraint himself.He cried more fiercely, shaking his head while faltering and saying he didn't understand.

Gao Wen was angry and hated, and he couldn't find any useful information from Crewe after asking for a long time.Seeing that Crewe's tears were endless, he also lost his patience.

"Then you should think about it here, and I'll come back and ask you when you've cried enough and thought it through." Gao Wen packed up his textbooks and pulled off his coat, "otherwise you'll have to wait until the court to cry again." .”

After speaking, Gawain left Crewe alone in the dormitory, reopened the stone door, and walked out quickly.

Before leaving, Gawain did not forget to wrap the wand in layers of isolation cloth, and then stuffed it into a locked drawer.

Before the matter is clarified, Gao Wen would rather keep it a secret.He hopes that those who make mistakes will be punished, but he still does not want to destroy Crewe.
