Tides: Years of Dawn

Crewe has been recuperating in the sea monster's house for almost a month, and the wound has begun to heal, but it is not so easy to grow tentacles again - after all, it was bitten off by Leviathan's teeth, and there is no precedent before. All of Crewe's treatment was an attempt.

Crewe refused to go to the general hospital under the sea for help.For some reason, he didn't want to accept the favor from the Hai Turtle family.

In fact, he was wavering at the beginning. After all, he was used to being manipulated by others. Now that the sea monster family is willing to take care of him, he naturally has no reason to refuse their kindness.

But an incident that happened on the weekend of the fourth week made him firm in his mind and decided to return to the Octopus's house.

He didn't know what was waiting at his home, and Saru and Elena were always full of hostility towards him, but he was not a member of the sea monster family, if he continued to accept the help of Gawain or Ward, he might Always a liability.

The report card came in the second week and was sent to Octopus's family, but Saru didn't reply.

Crewe knew that it was mostly because he did well in the exam, and his brother didn't want to pass the good news to the sea monster's house.The report card is probably lost, and Saru will not leave anything worth showing off to Crewe.

But Crewe also has something to worry about. His handwritten books are left in the school dormitory.

The only thing he asked Gao Wen to do this month was to hope that Gao Wen could help him go to the dormitory and bring the handwritten book to him.He couldn't rest assured that the book wasn't by his side, he always felt that Saru would search for it at any time.

Gao Wen did it for him, even though it was just a little effort, but when he saw Crewe finally showing a little relaxed expression, he still felt that he had done a great thing.

This month, Crewe hardly laughed at all. He seldom laughed at first, but after being hit hard this time, he became even more reticent.

Every day, when only Lemarlock was with him, he could say a few words to Lemallock.As for Gao Wen, it was always those few words—thank you, ok, sorry, I see.

Gao Wen was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

Leviathan has been raining heavily for a month, and the sea monster's waterways and shipyards have to make corresponding adjustments.They were very busy in those few days, raising the embankment, strengthening the pier, and relocating all the fishermen near the sea. They were afraid that one day Leviathan was not going well, and a big wave would destroy all the fishermen's houses.

The jellyfish family unanimously demanded that Crewe be responsible, but the voice was discussed by the nine-member council, but the finger turned to another direction—that is, the weak governance of the sea turtle family.

Yes, the Turtle Family is mainly in charge of internal security.

It was unprecedented for the sea people to interfere with the sacrifice, and this time the turtle's negligence was unbearable.

Of course, this is what he said, and Pei Di is very clear about the reason behind it.

It has been a year since the end of the half-blood monster incident, and there hasn't been a day when he hasn't tried his best to maintain the power in his hands.And the outside world and the parliament did not have a day without putting pressure on him.

When the matter of Crewe was used as an opportunity, Crewe could use his youth as an excuse to escape from accountability, but the Sea Turtle family was different. Pei Di understood that no amount of effort would be of use.

Rael was not spared either.

As soon as Pei Di was dismissed, a member of the Shark family immediately took over his position temporarily.It was said that Leyle's uncle had just returned from Broken Island and needed a period of adaptation and familiarization, so he temporarily let the Shark family take care of it, and also spent half a year bringing newcomers along.

But after half a year, no one knows whether the power will really be returned to the Sea Turtle family.

Pei Di told Rael, either to join the army, or to come out and work in the church.After all, he had offended too many people before, and he could still protect Leier when he was there, but when he left, most of them would be aimed at those who excluded him.

Pei Di also said, if Rael should ask Gawain, he and Gawain have a good relationship, maybe the sea monster family can find other ways and ways out.

But Rael didn't do that.Although he didn't make up his mind to enter Firestone Castle - after all, once he entered the army, he wouldn't be able to get out for five or ten years - but he didn't want to speak to Gawain either.

He felt that with his relationship with Gao Wen, if his friends could help, they would have already taken the initiative to come to him.And Gao Wen hasn't moved until now, it's just that the other party is helpless, so he doesn't need to embarrass Gao Wen.

What's more, Gao Wen has just come out for a year or two. In fact, asking Gao Wen is nothing more than asking Hua De behind Gao Wen.

How could Raelhe De owe such a favor? In addition, the Turtle family may not be able to repay this favor in the future.

This whole year, Rael has not had a good time.It's just that Gao Wen had too many things to worry about, and he blamed himself for not putting his mind on Rael.

But looking back, there is nothing wrong with it. When they were still in school, the environment was pure, and people from all families mixed together to study and live.If you are nicer to whomever you are with, you can help them a little bit, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter.

But it was different now, after Gao Wen passed the first trial, he was a candidate for head.After Leyle entered the garrison island to follow the warden, he was originally trained as the next guard or warden, representing the entire Turtle family.

They are already thinking about the interests of their own family, and it is impossible to use their loyalty to casually attack both sides.

The heavy rain from Leviathan continued, and before the rain stopped, Rael's resignation report had already been approved.Originally, resignation required layers of approvals, and it didn't take a week or two to pass.But they probably had been waiting for his and Pei Di's resignation letters, and sent back the stamped documents in two days.

Rael has also filled out the application to enter Flintstone Castle, but the application has not been submitted for a long time.He always feels that there are still some things that he can't let go of. According to Pei Di's words, he has not finished playing, so he can't make up his mind to stay in an isolated place for a few years.

Pei Di repeatedly advised that after entering Flintstone Castle, the identity and resume will be different when they come out.Even if he is still a member of the Turtle family, it will be much easier to take back power from the Shark family who only produce killers like Ruoqiang.

"Hurry up, the number of places is limited, it's a good thing to get in, and it will pass after a while." After resigning, Pei Di always said so, but at this time, Leier didn't say anything.

In fact, Leier was not afraid of those hard training, and he never thought about regaining any power.He is only 20 years old, he can't think so far, and he doesn't have that much ambition.

He just thinks that this is a one-way street. It is his own choice whether to enter or not, but it will be decided by others whether to exit or not.

Who can guarantee him that the governor of Firestone Castle will still be a member of the Sea Turtle family after five years, and who can guarantee that he will really come out properly at that time and add a good touch to his resume?

do not know.

Especially after seeing his own stone statues tied with iron chains, he felt that freedom was even more precious.

Such entanglements made his addiction to smoking bigger and his addiction to alcohol bigger.

He had nothing to do during those hours, and the house was a mess again.He is the fourth son, with Pei Di and the second brother who just came out of Firestone Fort, and the third sister who is about to become a sea woman candidate and reserve power for the future lord. It is not his turn to speak at home, so he can only listen to the arrangements.

Rael saw Saru in the afternoon when his family urged him to hand in the application form again, and he came out of the house as usual, avoiding the noisy quarrels.When he came to the tavern, the boss had customarily prepared three bottles of sea urchin wine for him.

This alcohol has a high alcohol content, and a little bit of fugu toxin is added to it.It can give sea people a very strong stimulus, but after the turbulent, burning pain, the body will feel extremely comfortable.

Pei Di has always liked this kind of wine, and now he has passed this hobby on to Rael.

When he was in school, Rael didn't understand why his family were all smokers and alcoholics.But only now did he discover that alcohol can really bring a sense of relief sometimes.

This kind of relief is like self-anesthesia after escaping. Although it is short-lived, it can get a moment of relief.

Saru sat down when he finished drinking the second bottle, and he looked at him with a smile, making Rael think for a moment that he saw the grown-up Crewe.

But a closer look reveals the difference. Although the octopuses are recognized as good-looking, Saru's appearance is sharp and sharp.Crewe's is much softer and doesn't look dangerous.

Saru said that he just happened to pass by, and when he saw Leier, he wanted to come and have a chat.

He also knocked down Rael's bottle and told him not to drink so much.He knows the ingredients added to the sea urchin wine, and he understands how badly this kind of pleasure can damage the brains of sea people.

Rael didn't know whether Saru said that out of good intentions or on purpose.But the sea urchin wine was fast, and he was a little confused.

Saru talked a lot on the opposite side, whining and complaining about the recent incidents that happened on the island one after another.

He talked about his father's abdication, Gao Wen's performance in the first trial, his brother who failed to live up to expectations, and the poor young hero Andre.

Of course, it also talked about the grievances of the turtle family.

He said he spoke out for the Turtles -- he was impassioned, outraged.Why did Leil feel that Saru's voice was so low, as if he was afraid that the people around him would hear him.But it's also possible that the tinnitus caused by drunkenness made him lower everything by a lot of decibels.

After finishing speaking, Saru said again, you said Gao Wen didn't help you anyway, didn't you and him always get on good terms?

Leier didn't speak, he was afraid that what he said would be misinterpreted.This is his good habit, even if he is drunk, he will not talk nonsense.

But he doesn't speak, Saru will.

He would say that it was probably because of Crewe, alas, it must be because of Crewe.I don't know how that useless younger brother learned to pretend to be pitiful in front of others, so that Gao Wen felt pity and love for him.

He also doesn't know what conflict between Crewe and Rael, is there?how can that be possible?Rael was such a good boy, at least Saru felt that Rael was impeccable, just like Gawain.

But he felt sad that he had a younger brother like Crewe. If Gawain could really become the lord, he only hoped that he would not have the opportunity to see Crewe as an assistant to destroy the Split Rock Islands one day.

He spoke so emotionally that he even finished the remaining bottle of sea urchin wine with Leyle in the end.Then he ordered a few more bottles and, by the way, paid for them in advance.

Rael didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, sometimes he smiled when he heard it, and sometimes shook his head.This is already someone else's business, even if he has an opinion in his heart, he will not reveal it to Saru.He couldn't figure out Saru's purpose, not to mention that he became more and more drunk, and he couldn't believe his own brain's judgment.

But Saru knew that although Leier didn't express his opinion, Leier was still very young after all, and it was impossible for these words to have no effect on him.Especially when the sea urchin wine is used, the hormones in the body are exuberantly secreted, and they will always be unable to suppress their temper.

Saru shook Rael's shoulder firmly as he left, and he told Rael - if you need help, you know how to get to our house.I am willing to help you, and I have always placed unlimited expectations on you and Gao Wen.

Then Rael's shoulder lightened, and Saru disappeared at the door of the bar.

He walked into the heavy rain, and that blue robe was as beautiful as a clear sky that he hadn't seen for a long time.

After that, Saru turned a corner and came to Gao Wen's only way today.He hurried past with Elena, and stopped Gawain across the road.

Saru told Gawain that he met Rael in the bar.Of course, they just met by chance, they happened to pass by Leier's side, and they also happened to pass by the way Gawain was going out.

He shook his head again and again, "He drank so much... Oh, why did he drink so much."

He didn't ask Gawain to go to Rael, he just told Gawain what he saw.As he said to Crewe, he's not that bad, he's an honest guy who doesn't like to tell lies.

He confessed his dislike for Crewe, and he had no reservations about Leier and Gao Wen's worries.He was really worried about these young people, but he didn't say anything.

When Gawain put the drunken Leier on his shoulder, Leier didn't remember what he said.He never cared about his own affairs, but he could hear Gao Wen's answer.

Gao Wen said, alas, don't do this, you...don't do this?

Gao Wen also said, Crewe is already my assistant, and this is not a matter of abolishing or abolishing immediately.

Gao Wen also said, don't ask me that, I don't want to answer.

But when Gawain carried Leyle into the car, he still answered. He said, maybe he likes him... maybe... he likes him a little bit...

What to say later, Rael didn't know.

He fell asleep and had a dream.

In the dream, he handed over the application form to Firestone Castle, then put on a uniform, and finally entered behind the heavy gate of Firestone Castle together with all the young men who were drafted into the army.

But he felt that this was not a dream, it was something he would do when he woke up.

But what triggered him to make this decision, he couldn't remember.

Yes, on the day when Crewe was able to get out of bed and walk, he also made a decision the moment he saw Gawain bring back the drunk Leier.

He felt that many people were just as confused as he was, being pushed around by life and making various decisions.In the consequences of these decisions, perhaps they themselves are not clear about the right and wrong and the pros and cons of them, but they just reason that they have no choice and are helpless.

But Crewe didn't want that.

He watched Gawain wipe Lei's face and change his clothes with concern, watched him take Lei into the bathroom, and then put him on the bed.He watched Rael grab Gawain's arm, whispering indistinctly in his ear.He also saw Gawain's furrowed brows, and the complicated expression on Crewe's face when he found that Crewe was standing at the door of the bedroom.

So there are many confused people, and Crewe is definitely not a special case.That feeling of confusion is the normal state of most people, and Crewe felt that if he could break out of this normal state, he might be able to get a different ending.

Both Hua De and Gao Wen asked him to rest for a few more days, but Crewe insisted on leaving.He thanked the sea monster family for their help, and let little Lemallock follow him to the door.

Lemarlock was reluctant to part with him and wanted to go back with him.

But Crewe would not do this, he would not put another pawn in front of Saru and Elena.

Because, "My house is very dangerous, you can't go there yet."

So, "When I make my home safe, I'll invite you to eat seaweed rolls."

Crewe touched Lemarlock's head with his tentacles, and Lemarlock looked up at him with his neck up.Then he picked up his satchel and walked away, wriggling on the sand with his surviving tentacles.

The rain intensified, and soon Lemarlock was out of sight of Crewe.

He looked up at the sky, and the rain hit his head and eyes.
