Tides: Years of Dawn

Yes, 20 years ago, the Sand Leopard family was reduced to ashes in a fire.

Almost all Lu Wu believed that this massacre was the work of the Blood Eagle family.But because there is no solid evidence, no one can accuse them.Not long after, the Blood Eagle's family was also burned, ending the grievances between the two families before the truth came to light.

The Lu witches all thought that this was revenge brought by hatred, but no one thought about it—in fact, the culprit who killed the two families had nothing to do with Lu Wu himself.

Its culprit is Haimin. This is the secret that the surviving young master discovered while hiding in the bushes not far away on the day the Sand Leopard’s house ignited a raging fire.

His animal was beside him at the time, and he pressed hard on the animal's head to keep it from making a sound.

The fire was huge and started in the middle of the night.The reason why he was able to escape was nothing more than that during those days he always liked to wait for the adults to fall asleep and then sneak out to play.

The children of big families have strict prohibitions, whether it is contact with people or schoolwork arrangements, although they are at the age of playing, they are not qualified to play.

The young master couldn't bear his temper, so he could only take advantage of the night to go out to relax.

There are endless secrets in the garden outside and the small forest behind the garden. Especially when he heard that there were land elves wearing leather animal clothes in the forest, he couldn't help his curiosity and always wanted to see its true face.

The wood adjoins Howling Dale, the home of one of the werewolf clans.But that werewolf clan is very friendly. The young master has met their young king several times. The king said that the young master can wander in the forest as much as he wants, and his clan will not hurt him, and those land elves will not drive him away. he.

So he saw the werewolf whose fur was shining with silver, the elf tear lamp that was emerald green like a gem, the dark cave of Wind Howling Valley, and the branches trembling slightly as the land elves passed by.

He dived out after midnight and returned before dawn.His tutor always said that he dozed off in class, but no one knew the real reason for his dozing off, and the colorful dreams in his youth.

Until he saw the fire.

The fire was ferocious, lighting up the sky.

The burning noise, the voiceless howl and the roar of the collapse were deafening, and the young master lost his soul in an instant.

He wept silently behind the bushes in tears.He knew what was going on, but he didn't know what to do when the fire went out.

The little beast was also trembling slightly beside him. This beast had many companions, but they were all reduced to ashes as the hut was set on fire.

As a family that mainly develops hybrid animals on land, the young master himself doesn't know how many people and how many animals are in the house.A huge vault was erected around the burning house. Although he had never seen this kind of spell, the young master understood that it was a kind of isolation spell.

It was erected early and firmly imprisoned, like a glass barrier, preventing the people inside from escaping.

All the wealth and glory disappeared that night, and the burning flame became the only image left in the young master's mind.

At this moment, he saw a few figures swarming not far away.

It was not a person, but a humanoid creature.They all have heavy shells on their backs, but their fingers are as sharp as claws.They hovered in front of the house, making sure the spell was cast and the fire was kept steady.

When they were sure that no one in the mansion could survive, they lined up and walked towards the lake.

There was a big lake next to the house, and they walked into the water one by one.

The sky was still red, and it was unknown whether it was caused by crackling flames or the sun was about to rise from afar.

The young master was so weak that he couldn't get out from behind the bushes.He fell asleep like this in the wilderness, until the werewolves of Howling Dale found him and took him back to his cave.

The tragedy of the Shabao family was a trigger, and those assassins seemed to be very clear about the grievances of the Lu Wu family.So when the fuse was lit, the spearhead was directed at the Ying family.

The Eagle family was crusaded and then secretly wiped out.The young master believes that there are still those humanoids with shells on their backs here, but the result is still as expected-no one suspects that there are aliens invading. His vengeance came swiftly and fiercely, making people staggering.

This inhuman pursuit of vengeance may have been helped by half-breed beasts—ah, those beasts are really out of control, they can't stay, absolutely can't stay.

From then on, the young master became an orphan wandering all over the world. He tried to dig out the hidden gold coins at home secretly, but it was strange that all the cellars hidden in the front and back yards were dug up.

It seems that those humanoids not only took the lives of Sand Leopard's family, but also took away all the priceless ore.

At that time, the young master didn't know what they were, but he couldn't show his face.Because even though he became the victim first, he also became the culprit who destroyed the Eagle family later.

His charges were so tightly held that he couldn't tell how much of them came from secret agreements between the families.But it seems that they are all willing to attribute this to the grievances between the two families, and no one is obsessed with finding the truth behind the grievances.

But the young master couldn't give up.He devoted all his life to find the murderer.

The hard work paid off, and he finally found out that those humanoids were Haimin.But by fate, he spent 20 years searching for Haimin's stronghold in Luwu World.So, he wanted to use the jellyfish he was tracking to find a group of soldiers who lit the flames and carried turtle shells, as well as the mastermind behind the orders to the soldiers.

With a flick of a finger, 20 years have passed, and the young master has grown up, even his temples are turning white.But the hatred in his heart has not diminished at all. He can understand that their family is a victim of the power struggle, but it doesn't mean that he can stop pursuing it.

On the contrary, after 20 years of deliberation, he has no goal other than revenge in his heart.Hatred seemed to be the only motivation for him to breathe and live, and it was the reason why he could give up everything.

What a wonderful feeling hate is, its magic is no less than love.So when he realized that no one could do it for him, and set foot on the land of the sea people himself, his body trembled with excitement at the proximity of his goal.

The reason why he kept the jellyfish alive was that he believed that the jellyfish could lead him to the final shore.But now he no longer has such thoughts, just like he killed the Lobster family, the sea people are all the same in his eyes, no one can survive without guilt.

Even Sunny, including Gareth and Tristan who have not returned for a long time, including the idiot who has been with him for so many years, are all members that he has prepared and is about to sacrifice.

He was blinded by hatred, but if it wasn't like this, how could he have the guts to break into the forbidden area of ​​the sea people and really see the truth clearly.

When Crewe dragged Gareth to the sea snake's house, Gawain had the idea of ​​killing humans for a moment.But what did he see—and what he saw was not a man, but a monster with the head of a snake, and claws and hind legs, and shiny green scales and beautiful fangs.

Crewe shook Gawain's arm, crying and said, "Look...you can see the effect of the potion, you can see the difference between him and our compatriots. If there is, you can kill him, but there is no Well, but he's not human at all..."

Gao Wen bent down to investigate, and when he touched the scales, his palms trembled.The pale blue webs between the fingers slid across Gareth's arm, which was cold.He lifted a scale with his fingertips, dipped the blood from the flesh and put it in his mouth to taste.

Then, he sighed deeply.

Yes, this is Sea People.There is the sound of the tsunami in the blood of the sea people, the melody of the waves crashing on the shore, the whispering blessings of Leviathan, the rumbling ensemble of thunder rolling across the sea.

This is a message that can only be passed on by species blessed by sea beasts, and it is also an indelible imprint in their genes.

The Seaman gene in this human body has stabilized, and he has not tasted the rumored bitterness and stench of human blood.

He lifted Gareth's eyelids to look, and under the eyelids were the beautiful vertical pupils that sea snakes or sea monsters also had.There was still a little warmth in his cheek, which represented the demise of the human part of the flesh.

Gao Wen couldn't do anything.

When he was a child, Hua De told him that the sea people who slaughtered innocent compatriots could not enter the palace of the devil king after death. When he grew up, Hua De told him that mixed-blood bastards could not be kept and could not be redeemed.

Gao Wen was very confused, he didn't know what to do.Ward said that monsters will be the key to Lu Wu's breakthrough to the Cracked Rock Islands-but they have completely become sea people. Will they...will they really be loyal to Lu Wu's beliefs?

Gawain didn't speak, and let Crewe continue to drag Gareth past him bit by bit.He needs time to think clearly, and before that, he can't kill the sea people, but he doesn't want to intervene in the rescue either.

He returned to the sea snake's house with Crewe, and the beasts did not attack.It seems that as long as Gareth is around, the state of the animal is very stable.

They watched Gareth silently and helped Crewe carry Gareth into the room.

Gao Wen stood in the hall, looking at the corpses of sea snakes all over the floor.

In the few short months since he was out of school, it seemed like every day happened to destroy the cognition formed in school.At this moment, he didn't even know whether it was the right decision to expose what the Sword Whale had done.

He was sitting on a leather sofa, which was where Barrow had liked to sit before.

Gao Wen once admired Barrow very much, because of his enlightened and bold measures, he worked hard to connect the new generation of sea people and Lu Wu.Even though such behavior was controversial, Gao Wen still felt that in a few years, the conservatives would recognize Barrow's foresight and wisdom.

So he once felt aggrieved by Barrow's death, and firmly believed that one day he would become a lord, and he would inherit Barrow's mantle and perfect his unfinished business.

But now he couldn't be so sure.

Those so-called "correctness" may just be a kind of groping, and it is Gao Wen's wishful thinking and subjective judgment.Whether it is trading land witches, preparing medicines, transforming monsters, or gambling on the belief of monsters after they are redeemed, it is all a process of exploration.

And before the results of exploration come out, no one can say whether it is right or wrong.
