Tides: Years of Dawn

The shock that the monster incident brought to the Split Rock Islands not only affected the Sea Turtle family, but also had a series of chain effects, making other families feel that this was an opportunity for power change.

Especially for the Sword Whales, their intentions are too obvious.

They voted on the side of the sea monsters and pardoned the monsters.Although it is different from their usual way of doing things, it can be seen that their purpose is not just out of mercy - in fact, they want to change the bad relationship with the sea monster family.

Carole and his father Carl were the home of the sea monster who officially visited a week before the first trial, and Ward entertained them—in a very strange mood.

Yes, sword whales and sea monsters have never been the same.The Sword Whale is ferocious and ruthless. It never hesitates to pursue power and wealth by any means, and it never hesitates to satisfy its innate bloodthirsty desire.

Since the Age of Discovery, they could not even kill for money or defend against the enemy, but just for physical and mental pleasure, they destroyed all human ships that approached the border.They like to torture humans, especially Lu Wu.They are keen on all kinds of torture, and the screams and blood of the enemy can make them excited, as if they were born again.

Although the sea monster family didn't like Sword Whale's actions at the beginning, after all, they were targeting foreigners, and they never directly objected, just pretending that they didn't know.

But later, with the improvement of the law, Sword Whale set off several internal struggles in order to stabilize its own position.

During the war years, they could win countless medals by virtue of their bloodthirsty nature, which was evenly matched with the warriors of Flintstone Castle.But in the era of peace, they still refused to give up the slightest benefit to allow the major families to develop equally.

They are typical not to take the interests of all sea people as the premise, but only value the existence of their own glory.

They once slandered and framed the Moray family in order to obtain the monopoly of Barrow's overseas trade.I don't know where they got the evidence, and reported to the Council of Nine that the Moray family sold the death row prisoners on the island as slaves to Lu Wu.Accused the Moray family of betraying their compatriots, and instead took away business opportunities from the Moray family.

During that time, some death row prisoners did disappear, but for some reason, the Turtle family claimed that they knew nothing about it.

This matter has not been settled in the end, but the bad reputation has been poured on Moray, and it is not easy for Barrow to let Moray continue to control several routes to the world of Lu Wu, so he can only let the Sword Whale family do it for him.

Afterwards, when Barrow became obsessed with his own research, and the people talked more and more about Barrow, the sword whale felt that Barrow was unreliable, so he turned his target to the sea crocodile.

They helped the sea crocodile to search for evidence against Baro, and finally concluded that Baro had been bought by Lu Wu, and used two maps and the body of a dead mixed-breed animal to sue Baro for treason.

Perhaps they had already figured out Peidi's attitude towards Barrow's drug development, or maybe they just hit the jackpot by mistake. At that time, they received great support from Peidi and the Turtle family, and they finally made Barrow abdicate successfully. Suicide at home.

None of the things that the Sword Whale has done has been caught by the world and made public.

Maybe it's the interests of the family that keep them blessed, or maybe everyone knows their unscrupulous and unreasonable methods, so they hide when they can, and shut up when they can.

And all of this is shameless for the sea monster family.

These are the two recent incidents. Counting up, the Sword Whale family has also slandered and framed the people who framed the Sea Monster family many times.They don't care at all whether it is a foreign race or a compatriot blocking their way, as long as they block their way, they will generalize it and try their best to eradicate it to avoid future troubles.

But because the sea monster family has always been friendly with other families, even if they are not friendly, it is not considered an enmity, so even if they are sued, none of them will be convicted in the end.

As for Huade's generation, they have never shown any ambition for power, so that Sword Whale has never set its sights on them in recent years, thinking that sea monsters are not friends, but they don't need to be put on the agenda. enemy.

But now, everyone is looking forward to Gao Wen's performance, and it can be seen that Gao Wen not only has strong support from the turtle and moray family, but also is praised by most of the people.

His strength is outstanding, and he dares to think and do.Especially the heroic performance in one-on-many battles against mixed-blood monsters made the soldiers who witnessed everything curious and appreciative, and naturally spread word of mouth.

It didn't take long for this kind of praise to spread among the people, adding fuel and embellishment, making Gao Wen even more extraordinary.

Gawain is a hope, a hope to become a lord.Even if Hua De did nothing, the glory of his life is to raise a good son with a bright future.

In this way, Sword Whale really needs to improve the relationship between the two families.

After all, although Sword Whale has strong strength, its reputation is not very good after all, and the support of the masses is not high.

You must know that the votes of the people accounted for a large proportion in the third-instance lord assessment.Therefore, it is very important to obtain the approval of the noble and upright sea monster.

In fact, Gawain had sensed their intentions as early as the day Lemarlock transformed into a human form and held a banquet for it.

Carl brought his three children to participate, and he didn't take his eyes off Lemarlock. They didn't start talking in a low voice until Crewe took Lemarlock away from the scene.

Now Carl's visit finally brought out the subject of the discussion at the time-they wanted Lemallock to be engaged to a girl of their own.

The girl was born not long ago, because she was born in a sanatorium under the sea, so there was no banquet.She is not a direct descendant of the head of the family, but the daughter of the head's younger brother.

The younger brother of the Sword Whale family is in charge of the only bank in the Cracked Rock Islands, and his wealth was also taken from the Moray family back then.He is very rich. Although his status is not as high as that of the head of the family, the regime needs money to support it.If Lemarlock is willing to marry his daughter, the future will naturally provide unlimited help to Gawain.

Carl originally meant to let his youngest daughter cultivate a relationship with Lemarlock, but the youngest daughter is already 17 years old, and the age gap is too big.

Afterwards, when Lemarlock became an adult, the youngest daughter had already passed the age of producing eggs of the best quality, which would have a bad influence on the offspring and was afraid that there would be a generation gap between the two children.

The fact is also the same, so taking a step back, it is perfect to let my brother's daughter be engaged.Since then, the two families have become a family. The sword whale can provide wealth, and of course the sea monster has to use power to provide protection for the in-laws.

This is an attractive blueprint for development, and Ward said some high-sounding words, saying that he was really flattered, saying that this is indeed a good proposal, and that the prospect is promising, it is really an honor.

But of course, he also said that Lemarlock is still young, so it's too early to think about these things.At the same time, he didn't forget to add - the sea monster family will definitely make a careful decision, and will definitely work hard in this regard.

Give him some time, let him discuss with his family, and give Lemarlock some room for growth—"Maybe when Lemarlock grows up, he will have his own choices. Our opinions as elders are just for reference. dont you agree?"

"Yes, just relying on the education of the sea monster's family, there will definitely be a second child who is as good as Gawain. It's not certain whether I will like my niece at that time." Carl replied with a smile. Grab the topic and then push it away.

Sword Whale still had a sense of propriety, and they knew very well that with Gao Wen's temper, it was absolutely impossible for their daughter to be an assistant.So it is not impossible to settle for the second best.

After sending Carole and Carl away, Hua De asked Gawain what he thought.

Gao Wen said he had no objection, "If the sword whales want to change the status quo, they really have to attach to us. We can negotiate more conditions with them, can't we?"

"It's just 'now' that needs to be attached to us, and no one can guarantee whether we will become their stumbling block in the future."

Hua De sighed, and asked his servants to serve him some small dried fish and wine, "Since they visited us today, maybe it won't be long before the sea crocodile family will be pushed into the water."

"But it may not be. The sword whales are also changing." Gao Wen remembered what Carole said when he voted, "Maybe they really realized the mistakes in their past attitudes. Me, I can't guarantee that I thought exactly the same way I did last year."

Hua De didn't respond to him, but just took a sip of wine silently.

Gao Wen was a little guilty, and after waiting for a while to find no response from his father, he asked cautiously—"Is... am I wrong? If I'm wrong... then it shouldn't matter if I refuse, right?"

"I don't know," Ward said. "They're choosing, and we're choosing."

"Choose...which way to go?"

"No, there is only one road," Huade said, "We are just choosing who to walk with, so that we can go better and further."
