Tides: Years of Dawn

Jellyfish Andre feels that something is wrong with Crewe these days.Not only the bruises on the corners of the little octopus' mouth, but also his mental state, which seemed more dazed than usual.

"What happened?" After school that day, Andre couldn't hold back his curiosity and sympathy, and stopped Crewe, "Geraint didn't come back, and you took two days off, something must have happened, you Never take a day off."

Crewe stared at Andre blankly, then shook his head.

He was worried that before Geraint came back, the sea crocodile brothers would come to trouble him again, but now the sea crocodile seems to be unable to shock him so much.He was worried about Geraint, but there was nothing he could do.

When he came back from prison that day, Gao Wen took him to sit in his dormitory for a while, told him a few words, and reassured him that everything would be fine.Such words could not reassure Crewe, so he asked Gawain to think of another way.Crewe had been in the waiting room himself, and he knew how scary it was.He didn't want Geraint to suffer the same way, and he didn't want to lose his only friend.

But before he could say a word, he was glared at by Leier who came back, and warned him - "You are now Gao Wen's assistant, you better be a little self-aware."

Crewe didn't quite understand what this meant, but hearing Rael's tone of voice, it was roughly telling Crewe not to make trouble.So Crewe didn't dare to say any more, played silently with the little sea monster Lemarlock who was about to transform into a half-length human, and then went back to his small room resentfully.

The two sea crocodile brothers were discharged from the hospital three days later.On the day they were discharged from the hospital, they beat up a moray eel.

Crewe didn't know what had happened between them and the moray eel, but he vaguely felt that the moray eel was innocent, and their poisoning seemed to be related to Geraint.

But now Crewe didn't dare to think about it, he felt that everything was out of control.

He spent four years in Haicheng School peacefully, just as cautious as when he was at home.He thought that after another four years, Geraint would be able to take him out to see the world as he had promised him, but now Geraint can't even get out of prison, let alone go back to school, as if nothing happened Continue the same calm as before.

Crewe hated wands a little at that moment, and at the same time began to feel that there was a truth in what the mentors said that "wizards on land are evil".

In the final analysis, if Geraint hadn't brought back that thing, things wouldn't have become what they are now.

"I heard from my sister...you became Gao Wen's assistant?" Seeing that Crewe didn't speak, Andre asked again.He moved a little closer to Crewe, almost touching the natural spell theory book on the table.

Crewe bit the flesh in his lip.

"Is this related to the injury on your face?" Andre pointed to the corner of Crewe's mouth and asked with concern.

Andre heard that Gao Wen's temper was very bad, which was very different from that of Vice Chairman Leyle, who was always smiling and polite.This also led to doubts and difficulties among the contemporaries, and they were more willing to ask Rael for help than to contact the chairman.

Crewe shook his head, "No..."

"If he hits you, just tell me, I'll go find my sister!" Andre patted his chest, full of righteous indignation, "Although Geraint is not here, I can still try my best to help you, if... if you need .”

Crewe wanted to smile back, but he couldn't.

Now his mouth is a little wider, and the bruises around his mouth are painful.So he could only nod his head and look at Andre gratefully.

But in fact, no one can help Crewe.

When Geraint was by his side, Geraint would protect him unreasonably.Although naive and reckless, at least it can give Crewe a sense of security that someone will always be with him.

Now that Geraint is in prison and Crewe has become Gawain's assistant, Crewe feels lonely like never before.

The seniors who are about to graduate are very busy, busy with various exams, busy going to the corresponding institutions to participate in the primary election, busy preparing materials, submitting materials, busy looking through those spell books again and again Chaotian, going through all kinds of spells and formations over and over again, for fear of missing a fatal test point.

Of course, there are also seniors and seniors who are not going to work or participate in the competition for the lord candidate. At this time, they will not be seen at school, because they have to run home every now and then to start preparing for the marriage project, and those who participate in the lord competition—— For example, Gao Wen - not to mention, he almost didn't see each other all day.

Gao Wen is aloof, there are various things around him waiting for him to deal with, and various people occupy his time.

It is impossible for him to focus on Crewe, and he will never know that a person who is always bullied needs the protection and company of others too much.

A week after Geraint was imprisoned, rumors had spread.It's just that no one knows the reason for his detention. After all, the court has not yet been held, and a lot of information is still kept confidential.

Some people said that he stole something that shouldn't be stolen, some said that he poisoned fellow seamen, some said that he followed the clues left by his father, found the land, and found the wizard on the land, and some said He harbored a secret that would do the Shattered Rocks more harm than good.

There are all kinds of magical claims, except that there is no mention of magic wands.

Gawain and Rael's words were strict, and they did not reveal any information about the wand.

But it was detrimental to Crewe, for there were speculations about his crimes in poisoning his fellow seafolk, and the most recent poisoned—yes, only the Crocodile Brothers.

Needless to say, when the Sea Crocodile Brothers couldn't vent their hatred on Geraint, they quickly found Crewe.

That day happened to be the night before Geraint's trial.

The next day, Gawain, Rael, and Crewe had to go to the garrison island to appear in court as witnesses.But on this critical day, the Sea Crocodile Brothers blocked the door of Crewe's dormitory.

When Crewe turned a corner, he saw Brother Crocodile and wanted to run away.But the elder brother rushed forward, grabbed Krulu's tentacles outside the robe, and dragged him back.

"Open the door." Dale lifted Crewe up and ordered by the back of his shirt.

Crewe held his small package and shook his head in a panic.

He came back late, and Crewe had to spend a lot of time in the library every time to complete his history homework.Before, he would worry about checking the time because Geraint yawned and urged him, but today he was busy until eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were no companions in the hallway.

"Open the door, brat!" Brother Geros grabbed Crewe's hair and slammed on the door.

He didn't dare to hit too loudly, after all, it would be difficult for them to explain if he woke up the others, so he grabbed Crewe's hair, bumped it, then pulled Crewe's head back, and whispered a warning in his ear— —"You can escape tonight, then next time you will end up worse... Open the door!"

Crewe was still holding the small schoolbag tightly, trembling all over, not daring to move. He was lifted off the ground by a strong sea crocodile like a small broken bag.His tentacles were spread out of his robe, and the few that were not stepped on were curled up and bent nervously.

Elder brother Dale winked, and Geros abruptly grabbed the schoolbag from Crewe's arms.He opened the schoolbag, turned it over, and the textbooks, charcoal pencils and other small stationery clattered to the floor.

Geros used his tail to sweep away the messy things on the floor, but he didn't find the key to the bedroom.So Dale grabbed Crewe's hair again, slammed on the door a second time, then turned Crewe over and began digging in his robes.

Crewe quickly put his hands in his pocket, holding the small, cold key tightly.

He was anxious and afraid, and murmured intermittently—"I...I am Gao Wen's assistant, you, you can't do this—I...I will tell Gao Wen, I will, I will..."

Hearing this, Dale and Geros paused for a moment, then looked at each other, and the younger brother imitated it strangely—"'I am Gawain's assistant, you can't do this—'"

As he spoke, he punched Crewe in the face.

One of Crewe's ears burst open, and the severe tinnitus made him dizzy.The bruise at the corner of his mouth was just right, and this hit happened to hit his old wound, and the pain made him unconscious.

"If you want to be Gao Wen's assistant... then we have to see if he has the guts to be a candidate for the lord! What kind of bullshit assistant...you are prepared for the two of us!..." Sea Crocodile scolded and squeezed Crewe Fisted hands were pulled out of pockets.

Geros used his claws to forcefully break off Crewe's fingers, causing scratches on the back of Crewe's fingers.Dale reached out to take it, and the key landed firmly in his palm.

The bedroom door opened, and Geros threw Crewe forward, swiped his tail, and closed the door firmly.

Crewe's head hit the corner of the desk again, but this time he didn't dare to delay, and wanted to hide under the bed as soon as he turned over.

How could the sea crocodile let him hide in it? Even if he hid in, it would be easy to drag the octopus full of long tentacles out again.Dale grabbed the hem of Crewe's robe and with all his might, not only pulled Crewe out, but even lifted him upside down.

"Poison us? Huh? You're really tired..." Dale chuckled and winked at his younger brother.

Geros pulled along the robe, wrapped Crewe's head with the robe, and quickly tied the hem of the robe tightly, exposing only the eight tentacles on the lower body of the octopus.

Crewe kept arguing in the robe, but through the thick robe, the two brothers couldn't hear anything clearly and were not interested in hearing clearly. They threw Crewe, who was covered with human hands, on the bed, picked up Two constantly waving tentacles are tied to the foot of the bed.

Crewe's eyes were dark, he wanted to get out of the robe, but the mouth of the robe was turned over and tied tightly.

He struggled desperately, but felt more and more suffocated in the struggle.

"Give you some lessons you deserve, so that you know how to be a support." After the two tentacles were tied up, Geros walked up to Crewe's head and held his head vigorously to prevent him from Stirring, said viciously.

Dale took out the prepared dagger and gestured beside one of the stretched tentacles, thinking about how much to cut off.

"Half," Geros reminded, "cut two pieces, half."

Hearing this, Crewe struggled even more fiercely.

He was going to die, he was going to die soon.

He couldn't imagine breaking off two tentacles. He would die alone in this dormitory. When others found him the next day, he had lost too much blood and turned into an octopus with six tentacles.

He was so scared, he was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.But his cries were tightly isolated in the thick robe, so that the cold blade of the dagger had touched his sucker, and there was nothing he could do.

The sea crocodile brothers are indeed hurting their compatriots, but will they be convicted?No, because the crimes are all for abandoned children like Crewe, and for people like Geraint who have no family protection.

No one will believe Crewe's testimony, nor will anyone believe the testimony of a man who is still in prison.

Crewe's assistant, Gao Wen, seemed to have a different opinion, and he also had a different opinion about the little hippocampus incident before, but no one supported him.

Because he is not yet the lord.Because he is not yet a child of the lord's family.

The crocodile brothers just stayed in their dormitory tonight, they didn't go anywhere.Their roommates are each other, and they're sure—there's no one else in the hallway.

At this moment, Geros also drew out his dagger, and each of them stood beside the two tentacles tied to the edge of the bed.

Geros always wanted to follow his brother's example, so his brother wiped the dagger, and Geros wiped the dagger too.The elder brother put the dagger close to the tentacle, and Geros put the dagger close to the tentacle.

The elder brother raised his arm slightly, and cut off fiercely towards the middle of the tentacles.And the younger brother will follow suit, and the younger brother will also cut the knife at the exact position.

But have they succeeded?No.

Because the door of the dormitory was blasted open, the daggers of the two were also swept away by a precise and powerful wind curse, they came out of their hands, and ruthlessly plunged into the bedside table.

The crocodile brothers were blinded by the wind curse, and when they saw clearly again, Leyle had already walked in front of his brother Dale, and standing beside him was Gawain who wanted to tear the crocodile into pieces.

Leyle had a cold face, but when Dale came back to his senses, he bent down, showed his usual smile, and said softly—"Go out, go out now, we won't see anything."

"Do you know what this kid did? We were all fucking poisoned by him—"

"Shut up!" Gawain growled, interrupting Dale's sophistry.

He stepped forward in three steps at a time, grabbed Geros with one hand, and Dale with the other, and cursed fiercely—"Either you get out of here now, or I'll make it impossible for you to crawl out!"

Rael straightened his body, shrugged, and said, "Oh, if it's the latter, it's too foul, I can't watch it, I'll wait for you outside, Gawain."

As he spoke, he lifted his legs and walked outside the dormitory.

And Dale also kept silent, just looked at Gao Wen fiercely, and didn't make any more provocations.

After the two crocodiles left angrily, Leyle turned back to the dormitory, locked the door of the dormitory, and pressed the iron nail beside the door.

Gawain also untied Crewe's tentacles, and loosened his robe.

Crewe was crying so badly that Gawain had to hug him and pat him on the back to comfort him.

They originally only came to see Crewe for tomorrow's trial, but unexpectedly, no one was there after they came twice.When Gao Wen insisted on coming back again, he found the stationery scattered all over the place, so he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he blasted open the door of the dormitory together with Leyle.

"I wish I could kill them!" Gawain gritted his teeth.

"Then you don't want to be a lord anymore." Leyle sat on Geraint's bed, looking at the dormmate and the octopus who was still in shock. "Don't say this in front of me in the future, or I will report you."

"You report it! You report it now!" Gao Wen was still indignant, and he didn't even realize that his arms around Crewe hurt a little.

Rael stopped talking, and whenever Gawain's bad temper came up, it was useless for others to say anything.

He was silent, looked around the messy environment, finally sighed, and said - "You let someone like Crewe who has no self-defense ability as an assistant, and you will have more similar troubles in the future."

"I know, so what?" Gao Wen asked back.

"It will drag you down, it will hurt you," Leighton paused, helplessly, "You...you should think about it yourself."
