Tides: Years of Dawn

The first-instance system was held at the end of the first month after the start of the new school year, and Klutt asked for leave to watch Gao Wen's performance on the spot.

Most of the people present were members of the sea monster family, the elders of the family, blood relatives from different families, and some people from other families mixed in, and the entire arena was surrounded by water.

Hua De also brought his wife Clement back from the gravel island the day before. At the moment, she is dressed in solemn and luxurious clothes and is sitting on the two chairs closest to the ring.

Ward's wife is also a sea monster and is Ward's cousin.She participated in the revision of the history of the Split Rock Islands for a period of three years, and it has just been two years today. She presumably asked for leave to rush back to see her son's performance.

Crewe heard from Gawain that Clement was a scholar.She is not a powerful sea witch, but a wise and kind mother, who is the enlightening star in the ocean of Gao Wen's life and the purest and most holy light in his heart.

When Crewe was involved in disputes over the wand incident, Gawain heard a case against him making Crewe an assistant, so he also wrote to Clement to hear her opinion.

And his mother's reply told him that if his love was deep enough, all the difficulties in front of him would be nothing to worry about.If his love is just a momentary impulse, then any trivial matter is an opportunity to break their relationship.

Gao Wen's mother respects her son's decision, but still believes that love comes first.She doesn't mind Crewe's identity, and she doesn't think others should use it to judge whether Crewe is worthy of love.

She also gave up the chance to marry Sea Crocodile because of her deep love for Hua De - even though everyone around her said at that time that Sea Crocodile might become the next lord, and she only needed to make a little sacrifice to get her Can be placed in the ranks of the lord's assistant.

She refused, she didn't know him, didn't understand him, so she couldn't talk about love.

But she grew up with Hua De, and she could see that it was not weakness behind Hua De's ambition to become a lord, but prudence and prudence.

With so many voices lingering in her ears over the years, it seems that troublemakers always hope to see a little bit of regret on their faces.

Regret that she chose a useless man, regret that she never got the glory that should belong to her after marrying Hua De, regret that the high-ranking assistant sitting next to Haicrocodile was not herself, and regret that even now, she has not been remembered by history.

But she doesn't seem to mind either, and her love for Ward never dwindles.

Even Gao Wen couldn't understand why his parents insisted on writing letters to each other every time they separated. After all, they had been married for decades. He didn't know what supported them. He thought that no matter how deep the love was, Will wear away over time.

But his parents are the best counterexamples.

In addition to becoming part of the family relationship between them, it seems that there will always be a passionate love between them.

When talking about his mother, Gao Wen's demeanor was different.And when he finished talking about his mother's attitude, Crewe only felt a little heat on his neck.

From the beginning to the end, he wasn't sure whether Gao Wen felt pity or love for him. He didn't dare to look at Gao Wen, and only looked at the handwritten book in his hand.

He seemed to like Gao Wen, but he was not sure if this liking had anything to do with Geraint's departure.He only knew that ever since he and Gao Wen studied handwritten books together, the throbbing became more and more vivid day by day.

He trusted and relied on Geraint very much, but he didn't feel hot because of a word from the other party.

But when Gawain finished speaking and looked at him, Crewe knew that his back and palms were sweating.

He was very nervous and frightened, and he was burdened with guilt towards Geraint for that ready-to-move feeling, so he couldn't come out.

Of course, Gao Wen would not make his words too obvious.

Crewe will not turn 16 until this year, and he will have two years to graduate from Haicheng School.They have a lot of time to cultivate emotions that have not been watered before, and they also have enough space to test whether the other party is suitable for them.

Clement saw Crewe from a distance and recognized him.

Crewe squeezed his satchel nervously, and the blood rushed to his brain instantly.

He felt so insignificant, beside the glamorous sea monster elder, his appearance was not even as good as an attendant.He was wearing a student robe that had been torn and sewn up by himself, and his hair was tied casually behind his head.

But she smiled at him.

Crewe could see that the smile was pure, without contempt or dislike, just as warm as the mother who watched him grow up.

There were two complicated emotions in Crewe's heart, one was envy and the other was jealousy.

Gao Wen followed his mother's gaze and found Crewe.He waved to Crewe among the separated children of the right age, and smiled.

Startled, Crewe smiled at him too.

In fact, Gao Wen was very handsome, but because he always had a serious expression on weekdays, when discussing appearance, everyone would only mention Leier and others.

But Crewe liked the way Gawain made him feel.That feeling is different from the stiff smile on Leyle's face from time to time, and because it is rare, it is extraordinarily precious.

Gao Wen's eyes were as deep as the ocean, just like Hua De's.Lemarlock's eyes were much lighter, more like his mother's.

Now Lemarlock was sitting on his father's lap, grinning at Gawain.

Lemarlock seemed to have always been unfriendly to Gawain, but was very close to Crewe.He had been the bridge between Krewe and Gawain from the beginning, and it seemed he would continue.

Crewe tried to move a little further, but someone tugged at him, pushing him back.

He looked up and saw a familiar blue robe—yes, that was Saru.

In fact, for the past few months, Saru has been thinking about how to push Elena to Gawain again, but Gawain and Crewe didn't give him a chance.

Fortunately, Gao Wen's first trial has come, not only failed to turn the situation back, but went further and further sideways.

He knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he came directly to the scene.

Crewe didn't know why, but subconsciously wanted to look behind the ring.

There is an attendant holding a wine glass at the back of the ring. Before the formal assessment begins, all contestants will drink a glass of wine.Spirits make the blood flow faster and make the contestants more courageous.

Gao Wen was the first to appear, so the glass of wine was also prepared for him.

Sure enough, the moment Crewe looked over, he found that Elena was talking to the guard.

A strange feeling flashed in his heart, he immediately grabbed Saru's wrist, and asked nervously - "You... what are you going to do?"

At this moment, so many elders of the sea monster family were present, he never thought that his brother was so brave enough to prescribe medicine to Gawain, nor was he sure of the effect of the medicine.

But he still felt a chill, and wanted to run to the back of the ring.

Of course he couldn't run, Saru was already prepared, two guards quickly pressed Crewe's shoulders, and wrapped their arms around Crewe's arms with their tentacles.

Crewe shook his arms vigorously, trying to break free from their tentacles. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he growled at Saru in fear and anger—"How dare you do this! You...how dare you Poison—”

"I'm not as bad as you think," Saru winked, and another attendant covered Crewe's mouth. Saru glanced around privately, making sure that no one had noticed the conversation between him and his brother, and then Turning his gaze back to Crewe, "I don't have poison///medicine, if you don't believe me, you can report me afterwards. But—"

Saru turned his gaze, turned to the ring again, and said with a smile, "But I'm not sure if that kid is willing to talk to you after the exam."

At this moment Elena had already turned back, and she glanced at Saru quickly.

Saru could tell from her expression that everything was going well.

Yes, that's not a poison///drug.Even if Gao Wen drank it, he wouldn't feel anything. Even if he checked his body on the spot, he couldn't find anything unusual.

It's just a hallucinogenic concoction, it's harmless to the body itself, but it can produce hallucinogenic effects.

Saru is very good at preparing hallucinogens. He is the first person in the octopus family to know how to incorporate spells into hallucinogens and control the hallucinatory effects.

He also relied on this to make Clough reluctantly consider him a candidate for the leadership.

And Crewe knew what he would let Gawain see—he would let Gawain see that it was Crewe who ruined the assessment when he was in the most danger.

The effect of hallucinations is long-lasting, although for some sea dwellers with high mana, even in a hallucinogenic state, they can quickly recognize what is reality and what is hallucination.But the hallucination process can still bring a huge psychological shadow to people. After all, the trigger point of hallucinations is the source of fear.

Everyone's fears are different, and the scenes that are imagined in their minds are also different.Once a certain person is combined with the fear in my heart, even if I understand that all this has nothing to do with that person, it will not be able to erase the psychological rift it brings.

Crewe was taken away by the attendants, only Saru and Elena stayed on the scene.

Three sea monster guards brought up a giant monster, which was a beast guarding the sea monster's vault.It waved its claws and wore a muzzle over its mouth.It rattled the chain, and its scales were like steel.

This kind of giant is extremely difficult to tame, and never recognizes its master.Back then, when the sea monster family captured it from the bottom of the sea, they not only used their own small group of soldiers, but also relied on the assistance of the sea turtle family to succeed.

It is the best creature to guard the vault, and it is difficult for the prey it targets to escape its hunting.It runs and swims extremely fast, often before the prey reacts, it bites with its incredible explosive power.

At this moment, Gawain needs to apply the aroma of satisfaction on his body to stimulate it to go crazy, and survive before the sand in the hourglass runs out.

There is only one criterion for judging whether it is intact—that is, whether it can enter the next theoretical assessment with normal thinking and physiological functions after being hunted by it.

Gawain took a deep breath and signaled to the attendant to untie the chain.

He didn't think it would be a problem for him to deal with this monster, after all, he was also the one who had to deal with and get away from the unanimous attack of several beasts.

It's just that he didn't know that he would soon lose sight of the giant monster, and that giant monster would appear in front of him in another form.

Before Crewe was completely pulled away, the last image that stayed in his eyes was the troll rising into the air.

Its roar shook the sky, and it rushed towards the only hope that could save Crewe.
