Tides: Years of Dawn

Chapter 30 (19) You Betrayed Me

When Geraint returned to the island, he was detained without any surprise.Several people who looked like guards seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and the moment they found him, they dragged him ashore and pinned him to the ground.

After making sure that Geraint would not struggle, he dragged him, who had transformed from a sea snake back into a human form, onto another seaman's boat.The ship lifted anchor immediately, and headed for the strip island in the northwest.

Geraint kept asking why he was arrested, but the guards with rough hands and feet didn't say a word, they just led him all the way to the prison.

Geraint had seen the Garrison Island from afar, and knew that all kinds of creepy criminals were imprisoned there.But he has never been there, nor has he heard a word of description from his family members.

The only person who mentions the island is Crewe's brother.

At that time, Geraint had just arrived at Crewe's house, and he was not familiar with the place. He only knew to stay by Crewe's side as he was told, but he didn't know what situations to avoid and what not to avoid.

At that time, it seemed that Crewe made some trivial mistakes clumsily. Geraint didn't know how to cover for Crewe. On Crewe's small body, pushed Crewe two or three meters away, and cursed in a low voice—"Damn...you should be thrown into the guard island, that's where you should be!"

Because of this, Geraint didn't have a good impression of the Garrison Island, and had a deep resistance to those who wore guard uniforms and wore a coat of arms with two iron chains interlocking each other on their arms.

He faintly felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that even if he ran out and was discovered, he should take him back to school first.It doesn't matter if you want to be locked up or punished for a day, the right to speak is still in the hands of those old antiques in the school.

But if you send him to prison, things will be completely different.

As for this, Geraint could only think of one thing—his wand had been found.

Thinking of this, the advice of the male jellyfish that he met on the human ship before sounded in his ears again - they will expel you, they are draining you!

Geraint pulled his legs back a little, and there was still an address written to him by the jellyfish hidden under his shoes.He knew that this thing must not be lost, let alone discovered.Otherwise, the result may be even more dire than hiding a wand.

And just as he was studying how his wand was well hidden, how could it be turned out, he docked, and the moment he was dragged and dragged by the guards into the warden's office again, Geraint found the answer ——That's right, waiting in the warden's office is not only the guard of one case, but also Crewe, and Gawain, whom he least wants to see.

What the jellyfish said rang louder in his ears.

"Crewe, why..." Geraint was about to speak, but was stopped by the warden's order.

Randomly, Geraint's hands and feet were put in spell shackles.The shackles were specially made for the sea people, so that Geraint could not escape in the form of a sea snake.After the handcuffs and shackles were locked, Geraint was thrown into the small iron cage in the office where Crewe had stayed before.

Crewe stood up, but Gawain sat down on his shoulders again.

His eyes were full of worry and fear, and several tentacles kept stirring, looking at the warden for a while, and looking up at Gawain for a while.But most of the time, he still looked at Geraint who was immediately separated from him by a few fences, hesitating to speak.

After all the protection was done, Pei Di winked and told all the guards to go out, and told one of them to inform Geraint's sister Jade—that was Geraint's closest living relative, at least Knowing that meeting her, what a disaster her disappointing brother caused this time.

And when only Pei Di, Gao Wen, Crewe and Geraint were left in the room, Pei Di started to ask—"Where did you go?"

Geraint gritted his teeth, glanced at Crewe, and replied calmly, "I... boarded a human ship. I wanted to sneak out, but there were too many people on board. I was afraid of being discovered, so I came back."

Geraint told half the truth and half the lie.But he thinks that this kind of playful remarks are very reliable from a 14-year-old child, so he admits.

But Pei Di seemed to have grasped a lot of real information. He sneered, crossed his hands, and said, "Really? Go out and find a way to use the wand?"

As soon as these words came out, Geraint's heart skipped a beat.He immediately turned his eyes to Crewe's face again, but he quickly dispelled the speculation in his heart.

It is impossible for Crewe to betray him, he is Crewe's closest friend, he has protected Crewe so many times, including when Crewe was clumsy at home, Geraint also took the blame on himself, let Crewe was spared the scolding.

Geraint is more like a blood relative than Crewe's blood relatives, and Crewe is extremely dependent on Geraint. There is no doubt that Crewe, who can't lie, is willing to cover Geraint in front of his mentor for three days.

Crewe said absolutely nothing.

"What is a magic wand?" Geraint began to play dumb, he tilted his head in doubt, "I...I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You understand, you know very well what a magic wand is. I hope you can explain it clearly, otherwise once you are executed and you confess later, the sentence will be very serious." Pei Di said nonchalantly.

He looked directly into Geraint's eyes, taking in every emotion the child had.

Geraint held an iron fence in one hand, his palm was a little sweaty.This is a very dangerous signal, because once he, who has the blood of the ancient sea snake, becomes extremely frightened, not only his eyes will become vertical pupils, but also snake scales will appear on his wrists.

He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.He now had to believe that he really didn't know about wands, so he frantically cleared his mind of wand information, staring at the armband on Paddy's uniform.

He focused his attention on the armband, and began to think about how the two iron rings were fastened together.

When people are extremely stressed, distraction is the best choice.So while tracing the trajectory formed by the two iron rings in his mind, he replied pretending to be innocent—"I really don't know what you are talking about, I didn't learn anything similar in school, I... "

"Okay, what did you bring back when you sneaked outside last time?" Seeing that Geraint refused to admit it, Pei Di changed the question.

As for this question, Geraint thought he could answer—"I...I brought back a music box." He said and looked at Crewe for the third time.

Pei Di also looked at Crewe, and Crewe nodded hastily, and said timidly—"Yes...he, he brought back a singing box..."

"Other than that?" Pei Di continued to ask, "Apart from that box, what else did you bring back?"

This is a question that Geraint must answer carefully.And for this reason, Gawain rushed to talk—"He already said that he didn't know what he brought back. If he knew it was a wand, he would never bring it to the island. You must—"

"Gao Wen, I didn't ask you now, I know what you're thinking, but don't interrupt me now." Pei Di warned coldly, and gave Gao Wen a hard look.

Gao Wen resentfully fell silent.Although he had asked his father to find a way to prevent Geraint from being charged with too heavy a crime, and he had received his father's tacit response, but Gawain did go beyond his father's intentions and privately let Crewe become his assistant.

He didn't know whether such a move would make his father go back on his word, or whether he would make his father not greet the turtle's family at all because he was angry with his self-assertion.

So at the moment, he is not sure what the meaning of Pei Di's "I know what you're thinking" is.

But Geraint is smart, he immediately read the potential connotation from Gawain's words, and answered correctly - "There is also a stick, I saw that people on land can use it to make tricks, if it is interesting, I will Brought it back, I... I don't know if it's the wand in your mouth."

His answer made Gawain and Crewe both heave a sigh of relief, but made Pei Di raise his eyebrows.He understood that Geraint was not telling the truth, and as long as Gao Wen was present, perhaps Geraint could not tell the truth.

The members of the Sea Snake family are all cunning, Barrow was like that back then, and Geraint is like that now.

Pei Di also interrogated Barrow, but unfortunately he found nothing when he was young.Not only that, but also let Baro pry away the secrets under the prison, and even find the key to unlock the secrets.

This is something that Pei Di and the Sea Turtle family will never forget and will never let it go, so it is Geraint's turn to show his tricks——Pei Di can guarantee that he will not let the Sea Snake family succeed this time.

He stared at Geraint's eyes researchingly, and then looked in Crewe's direction from his flickering eyes.

Then, he raised his chin slightly, and said a sentence of innocence—"Crewe, it's your luck that you were selected by Gao Wen as an assistant. You see, after Gao Wen saved you, he still tried to save Jaylan." Special, this is really... the kind of compassion that a born lord possesses."

As soon as the words fell, Geraint's hands holding the railing were instantly covered with blue-green scales.
