Tides: Years of Dawn

Gareth is a little confused.

But he has been quite confused these days.He didn't know why, and he lived a small life as a bounty hunter with Tristan, and when he didn't pay attention, he was in trouble.

Now he and Tristan were sitting at a small round table with their upper body undressed, on which were two wands.In front of one of them was a cup of reddish-brown slurry, which looked like blood and smelled like jam.But the woman said—"Come on, have some tea."

After seeing the coat of arms on the chests of Tristan and Gareth clearly, the woman wanted to kill Tristan for a moment.But when Tristan announced his name, the raised wand was lowered.Then a trace of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and she finally lowered her arms to let the two of them enter the house, and let the fool hiding behind the big rock carry his master into the house.

Not only that, she also briefly helped the fool's master treat the wound, and fed something like muddy water into his chapped mouth.When everything was finally settled, he turned back to the table to face Gareth and Tristan.

It appears that Tristan is indeed a character.

There are two kinds of characters in this world, one is immortal and the other is notorious.Tristan——"The notorious deserter, I didn't expect you to be alive."

Gareth gave Tristan a sad look.

Tristan cleared his throat, glared back at Gareth, and mocked himself somewhat uncomfortably—"That's a loud deserter too, I'm loud—" Tristan stopped the car, and he suddenly felt that he shouldn't reveal so much personal information, and asked instead—"Who are you?"

Unexpectedly, Tristan did not reveal himself, but the woman did not mind.He pulled off the collar boldly, exposing a few inches below the collarbone.

The imprint of a spider flashed into Tristan's eyes—"I'm a beast too."

"Fuck!" Gareth exclaimed, giving Tristan an even more mournful look.

That look seemed to be saying that everyone is a beast, why is she so good at casting spells, and why I only know chug chug.This is obviously a problem with the master, and a problem with the way of education.

The moment the brand was revealed, she quickly pulled up her clothes again, and placed the confiscated wand and Tristan's wand on the table, waiting for Tristan's response.

Tristan was also a little dazed, staring at the wand on the table for a while.

He tried hard to remember, but there was no impression of the woman in front of him in his mind.Guessing that she was about the same age as Gareth, he ventured to guess—"Which group are you from..."

"Yes, I am also one of those animals that will be destroyed, just like the animals you raised." He raised his chin at Gareth as he spoke.

Tristan laughed, and he snorted, "It's different, you know witchcraft. If you say I'm a notorious deserter, then your master must be even more notorious. I haven't heard of any master who dared to teach himself brute witchcraft, let alone in the world of wizards."

Animals are born with a strong ability to transform into beasts. Don't talk about teaching them witchcraft, even if they have a human-like self-awareness, it will be very difficult.Otherwise, relying on their strong physique and human-like brains, they will soon turn their backs on customers and turn slaves into masters.

Tristan had never heard of any spider kid running away like him before him.Existences like them, born as members of the spider family, will die as ghosts of the spider family.Otherwise, the spider family will lay a net and chase them to the ends of the earth.

At the beginning, Tristan also knew that there was no way out in this world, so he crossed the border at a huge risk.

But the imprint of the person in front of me can’t be false, but if the animal in front of me slowly develops a human consciousness, and spends many years making her use mana as freely as an ordinary wizard, without crossing the border or being attacked by spiders from the beginning to the end It is simply a myth that the family captures or hunts them back.

The reason no one dared to try it was that no one who tried it survived.

But the woman shook her head again and said, "It was not my master who taught me witchcraft, but my husband."

As soon as these words came out, Tristan wanted to slap himself in the face.At this moment, he was either listening to a joke or dreaming.

"Marry a beast? You fucking think I'm mentally retarded." Tristan smiled hoarsely, touched his pocket, found no cigarettes, and touched Gareth's pocket.

But unfortunately, neither of them.So the woman took out a few hand-rolled cigarettes from the box, threw them to the two, and lit them herself.

"I'm not lying, and I don't want to talk nonsense to you. I know why you took the risk. Tristan, you also raised a beast that looks like a human. You should know the problem with the beast." The woman took a deep breath Taking a puff of smoke, he looked at Gareth through the smoke.

Tristan thought to himself that you know shit.We just picked up a fool on the street for no reason, and then got to this point somehow.If Gareth hadn't been a hero in Secondary [-], they probably wouldn't have come here for the rest of their lives.

And Gareth's stupidity can just prove that even though animals can become people, there is an upper limit to dual quotient.Tristan has spent so many years, and Gareth's dual quotient is limited to this-of course, the upper limit of a fool seems to be lower-so there is still a gap between animals and humans, and it is absolutely impossible to become like the woman in front of him normal.

But now that the woman has spoken, Tristan might as well follow the trend—"What is my purpose?"

"Medicine." The woman said concisely.

Tristan froze for a few seconds, then laughed even wider.

He laughed dryly twice, squeezed Gareth's bulging arm by the way, then closed his smile, pretending to be serious—"How do you know?"

The woman looked at Gareth, then back to Tristan, "Isn't that obvious?"

Gareth collapsed in an instant, thinking that this is not obvious, he just doesn't know magic, but in another world he is also an ordinary and even a little capable person.The reason why he was found out in the crowd was just because he was a little handsome, he was definitely not what she said——

"Well, yes, he's a bit stupid, and he really couldn't survive throwing him out alone," Tristan said, "so I'm curious how you survived."

"Of course I can't live without my master," the first half of the woman's answer did not surprise Tristan, but the second half made him gasp—"But five years ago, I bit him to death. "

According to the woman's statement, and of course according to the woman's master's report, shortly after Tristan escaped, her master also took her out of the spider's house.

It's just that their experience was not so smooth, because her master, the spider boy code-named "Yin Tian", still couldn't find a way to cross the border.

"I kind of remember 'Cloudy,'" Tristan said. "I remember . . . he was like a skinny guy who couldn't talk."

The woman nodded.

Tristan's vague memory of the cloudy sky only existed before the age of 20, and he vaguely remembered that the other party lived in the dormitory next door to him.The two faced off once in the training ground, and Tristan struggled to win the final victory with a very narrow advantage.

"I slashed his face, didn't I?" Tristan asked.

The woman nodded again, and pressed her left eyebrow with her finger, "From here—" the finger moved, crossed the bridge of the nose, and pulled it to the right cheek, "Here."

That's right.

Cloudy was a very gloomy kid, and Tristan once wondered if it was for this reason that the trainer gave him such a code name.

It is said that he picked it up by the River of Tears, because he drank the water of the River of Tears and knew too many secrets known only to the gods, which damaged his language system and made him unable to speak.

But it seems that because of his loss of language function, he seems more submissive.

He can't complain about the life of the spider's family, and he can't brag about it with his companions.So most of the time he would hide in the training ground, as if he hated something, hacking the wooden stakes for training with his wand one after another.

The reason why Tristan has an impression of him is not only because of his extremely fierce fighting style, but also because Tristan wanted to make a surprise attack for the next day's assessment, so he also sneaked into the training ground after the lights were turned off.And that night, he hit a cloudy day that was also on the training ground.

He heard the sound of chopping wood piles from a long distance away, and the sound echoed in the empty training ground, sharp and piercing, as if cutting the space into pieces.

Tristan's approach also reminded the other party, when the cloudy sky turned his head, Tristan will never forget that moment of gaze.

It was a killing intent that was impossible to see in the eyes of a teenager. It was not simply a complaint about the intensity of training and the living environment, but also a bottomless hatred.

Hatred glowed in the darkness, and the eyes of the cloudy sky flashed a red light for a moment.

Even a guy like Tristan, who was fearless and fearless, stopped in an instant, his knees softened, and he took half a step back.

However, these are the only two times he had alone contact with Yin Tian. After all, Yin Tian is very withdrawn, and it is impossible for Tristan Wan to see that he also has the intention of escaping from the spider's house from his daily relationship.

Yin Tian was about the same age as him, so he was probably assigned to the same batch of beasts.It’s just that Tristan was already overwhelmed by the excitement of getting Gareth. He thought that what he got was the best, and even if it wasn’t the best, he would definitely become the best under his leadership, so there was no Mood cares about what other people's beasts are, and what about their quality.

And now the woman told him that Tristan's behavior made his master think the same way, so he also left from the spider's house afterwards, for the same reason that he didn't want his beast to be executed.

"Of course, I also listened to what he said. At that time, I was still a complete animal. I don't have any memory." The woman said.

"I can see he guided you very well," said Tristan, raising his eyebrows, "or so well that you thought you were human, so one day for so-called love—"

"No," the woman showed a desolate expression, smiled and shook her head, "If I didn't lose control and go crazy, I would certainly marry him. But it's a pity..."

It's a pity, and it's also very strange, since it has already begun to have self-awareness, it is very difficult for such a beast to be provoked and turn into a beast again.But she turned into a beast that day, and attacked everyone in sight indiscriminately.

A woman must be a very strong beast, even a spider child as powerful as Yin Tian can't control her.She had no memory of the killing, and when she regained her senses, she only saw the torn limbs all over the place.

Not one, but all of their faces were bloodied beyond recognition.

Including cloudy days.

"I don't need to see his appearance to know that it is him. I tore off one of his arms, and I bit off his throat." The woman took a sip of the so-called "tea", her eyes averted.Although five years have passed, what happened that night still affects her deeply.

She was in a daze for a few days after Yin Tian's death, she didn't leave the corpses everywhere, she didn't eat, she didn't move.She lay on the master's body, fell asleep when she was tired from crying, and continued to cry when she woke up.

The master is the only meaning of her existence and the whole motivation to live.And now that the master is dead, she wants to die just like that.

However, perhaps fate had other arrangements for her, so she did not die, she was saved by a person.When she woke up again, she was already lying in a wooden house near the sea.

"That was my later husband," said the woman. "He healed me, stabilized me, and put me on that magic potion until I became what I am now."

At this point, Tristan understood it, and he also believed that the woman in front of him was indeed a beast of the spider family.After all, it is difficult for ordinary land wizards to detect Gareth and himself approaching the hut so quickly.

Meanwhile, Tristan focused a second time on the two wands lying on the table.

Land wizards use wands as their only weapon of self-defense, and they habitually pocket them when not in use.But the woman, like Tristan, left her wand on the table, a small but bad habit that proved that she had been taught the spell by a very inexperienced wizard.

But Tristan still has doubts in his heart. The woman doesn't seem to have weak mana. He really can't think of any wizard on land who can't use the wand well, but has high mana.

The woman saw Tristan's question, she paused for a while, organized her words, and then gave an answer that surprised Tristan - "My husband is an orc with ancient jellyfish blood, and is a sea ​​people."
