Tides: Years of Dawn

Klubby Gawain was the first to determine Geros' fate.

He waited for the opportunity at school for two days, but did not see Geros appear.He still didn't try to find Gao Wen. It wasn't until the school announced the news of the disappearance of the two Haicrocod brothers that he was startled and realized what Gao Wen had done.

But Crowe was calmer than Gawain, he always acted as if nothing had happened.Every day's assessment is very busy, and he is also distracted in the busyness.It wasn't until the end of his three main assessments that he arrived at the sea monster's house.

Gao Wen originally thought that Crewe would cry a lot, or bend down on his shoulder in relief.This will give Gao Wen a sense of accomplishment, and it will also greatly dispel his previous guilt.

But actually none of them, on the contrary - Crewe did not agree with Gao Wen's approach.

"You killed him." After closing the door and window, Crewe cut straight to the point, "You can't kill him, you can't kill anyone. You need to be a lord, and you—"

"I didn't kill him." Gawain hurriedly stood up from behind the desk and approached Crewe.He gently took Crewe's shoulders and explained, "I didn't do it, I just let other people do it, I..."

Crewe grabbed Gawain's wrist and pulled it away. He turned cold and shook his head, "No, you really can't kill people, and you can't hire anyone to do it. Your identity must be clean, even if you need it, you can't kill anyone." You can only let me hire you—" Seemingly realizing that his tone was disrespectful, Crewe quickly changed his words—"You...can you understand?"

Gao Wen was stunned. Although he could understand, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't get the thanks that Crewe should have given him, so he dropped his hands resentfully.

Gawain chuckled, lowered his voice and asked back—"So according to what you said, there is nothing wrong with what you did?"

Crewe swallowed, lowered his head slightly, muttered for a while, and whispered, "...I was at fault, I was committing a crime."

"You still know that you are committing a crime?" Gao Wen snorted more strongly, and his tone became very unfriendly, "You never told me your plan at all, and you didn't regard me as your master. You kept saying Said you were my assistant, but for you—if we didn't take the oath, then I have no right to know, do I?"

Crewe opened his mouth to defend, but he held back.

He suddenly felt that the key point of Gao Wen's anger was not only his concealment, but also his inescapable confession.After all, Crewe wasn't the only one who committed the crime, Gawain was the same.

Crewe is too clear about Gao Wen's past character and outlook.He couldn't ask Gao Wen to be free from self-reproach and guilt after doing all this, and those feelings of guilt turned into a ball of suppressed anger, which was about to burst out when he found an outlet.

Crewe is that outlet right now.

Crewe was silent, and he lowered his head submissively again.

In fact, it was not that Crewe did not understand Gawain's painstaking efforts, but Gawain did not understand his proper position.

Gao Wen is working towards the direction of the lord, and only when Gao Wen successfully becomes the head and lord can he cover up and connive at Crewe's crimes, and he can also become the octopus family's reliance.

This kind of thing may have started with Crewe's personal hatred at the beginning, but Crewe knows that there will be more and more in the future.

He had read Debbie's diary and read a lot of history books, so he knew better what kind of existence an assistant should be around the lord, but Gawain himself hadn't figured out the difference between the relationship between the assistant and the master and the relationship between an ordinary husband and wife.

After Gawain finished venting, Crewe said cautiously—"Then please tell me who you hired. I must do the subsequent matchmaking, and you—"

"Hunter." Gawain replied angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Crewe's heart skipped a beat.

Although he also had the idea of ​​letting the hunter do this, he finally gave up.He valued the friendship between Gareth and him more than Gawain had imagined, and Gawain—yes, Gawain was the same, hired Crewe without even saying hello.

Crewe didn't linger, turned his head and walked out of the house after hearing this answer.

Gawain wanted to catch him, but Crewe just kept saying, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just going to make sure." Then he broke free from Gawain, and hurried to the hut.

Crewe's original intention was not to involve the hunter and Gawain, but now that everything he was worried about has come true.

This is not easy to do, he needs to learn from experience.

Too bad Tristan and Gareth weren't there, only Scovid was in charge of a bunch of brutes.

He lit a fire in front of the door and put on a fur coat.Other animals were milling around, some were picking up debris, some were beating small fish for dinner, and some were boiling hot water, mixing hot and cold water, and pouring it over the larger one. In a basin full of dirty laundry.

Seeing Crewe coming in a panic, Skovide also stood up from the fire.

He ran over, stammered and asked Crew what was wrong, stammered that Gareth and Tristan would probably be back later, and stammered that he didn't know where they went , I'm not at home these days.

Crewe was tense and cold, shivering in his beautiful robes.Skoved hurriedly took off the fur cloak and put it on Crewe, and led him to the fire.

Scoweed dug out Tristan's jug from the house and gave Crewe a few sips to warm up his body, and Crewe calmed down a little.

Although Gareth always said that the brains of beasts are not as good as humans, even if they are cured by redemption therapy, they are essentially enlightened, but the starting point is lower than ordinary people.

But Crewe often feels that it is easier and simpler to stay with beasts and hunters. They are innocent and their own good is pure.They don't have so many clear interest entanglements like Haimin, they just hate or love.

As between Gareth and Tristan.This was the most single emotion Crewe had ever seen since growing up.Regardless of the way Gareth existed before, Tristan's care and dedication to him have not changed.

And Crewe?Crewe had to fight desperately to get the slightest favor.

Skwid asked him intermittently where he was from and what he wanted to do with the two hunters.

Crewe sighed and said that he came from the west and would go back to Haicheng School later.He didn't say what happened, and Skoved had no way of understanding it, either.

His eyes were red, and now his mind was in a mess, he didn't know how to bear Gao Wen's questioning and reprimand, so he ran away from Gao Wen's side.

Since he killed the child in Jade's stomach, he didn't dare to let himself stop.He was afraid that as soon as he stopped, he would be taken over by his previous cowardice and hesitation.

He never wanted to go back to the previous state, especially when the crocodile brother had just died, the sea crocodile family was furious and vowed to track it down, and the family Saru and Jade were watching.

Scoweed couldn't say anything good either. He was lacking in language, and even if he wanted to speak, he didn't know how to organize the language.So he could only put his arms around Crewe's shoulders and stroke the back of the little octopus along its fur.

He could see that Crewe was very sad, but he could only use body language to comfort him.

Crewe sighed even more deeply.

He shrank his body even smaller, looking like a fluffy ball from a distance.But even so, he had to wait until Gareth and Tristan came back. He had to completely take this matter out of Gawain's hands and take it into his own hands. The second trial failed.

It's a pity that he hasn't waited for the old hunter to come back, but he has waited for Gao Wen who chased him to this place.

Gawain did not forget the advice Tristan gave him, but he had a conflict with his assistant, and he had no reason not to chase him out and explain.

And when he saw Crewe nestled in the arms of a young beast, his mind went blank for an instant, and the words he had planned to explain before disappeared, only a nameless anger ignited from his heart.

He quickened his pace and strode forward.Facing the direction of the crackling fire, he grabbed Crewe without hesitation.

Crewe was rubbing his face vigorously in his hands at the time, and he was very tired from lack of sleep in the past few days.But he can't doze off, he must stay awake for the next negotiation.So he didn't see Gawain walking towards him at all, he only felt that Skovide beside him moved, and then his collar tightened, pulling him away from the fire with a strong force.

"...Are you teasing me? You...you dare to tease me?" Gawain's voice appeared in front of him, and the hand holding the back of his coat also changed direction, directly grabbing the tie of his coat. Take him to pull him in the direction of the opponent.

Crewe was taken aback, and immediately grabbed Gawain's wrist. He was a little puzzled, and immediately defended—"I...what did I tease you? You, why—"

But before Crewe finished speaking, Scoweed rushed towards Gawain.He wanted to push Gao Wen away, but was unexpectedly pushed back by Gao Wen.

Scovid staggered a bit, turned his head and his eyes were stained red.

Scoweed didn't know Gawain, even though he had met him, he didn't know his relationship with Crewe at all.In his eyes, this person is about to hurt the little octopus, and he can't just sit idly by.

The other beasts also turned their heads and stared at the uninvited guest vigilantly.

Crewe quickly pressed his tentacles against Scovid's chest, and comforted—"It's okay, he...he's my friend."

But these words angered Gawain, he didn't say a word, and dragged Crewe completely away from the beast.Along the way, he ignored Crewe's staggering and stumbling, until he came to a dead tree not far from the cabin, and then firmly pressed Crewe against the tree trunk.

"...I respect your choice in a good manner, thinking that you are indeed as reserved as I thought, but it seems that I was wrong," Gawain sneered, and raised his hand to pinch Crewe's cheek.

Crewe immediately understood Gawain's misunderstanding, and explained—"It's not what you think, I... I'm just waiting for Gareth and Tristan, I..."

"Don't take me for a fool!" But Gawain didn't seem to want to hear Crewe's self-defense, he interrupted the other party, and said viciously—"I tell you Crewe Otepusi, I am your master now, If a sea crocodile can do that to you, so can I!"

Crewe was terrified, Gawain had never been so angry with him before, even in the previous wand incident, Gawain only raised his voice, never to the point of doing it.But at this moment, the strength of Gao Wen's fingers was getting stronger and stronger, so that he didn't even dare to breathe hard.

His tentacles tightly wrapped around Gawain's wrist, struggling vigorously.

"He...he's really just my friend, not what you think!...I-I don't know them well, but, but I know—"

"Yes, you just said that I am also your friend. It seems that you are very lenient in your definition of friends!" Gao Wen did not let go, but tightened his grip.

Crewe's cheek was in pain, and he felt that if Gawain tried harder, his cheekbones would be crushed.

Gao Wen actually didn't think about why he was like this, but the anger became more and more intense with Crewe's struggle and defense.

The strong possessiveness was ignited when Crewe got close to other people, his eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and the scales on his arms shone with the light.

He has hatred for Crewe at the moment, yes, although it's only a little bit, but he can't control his temper.His bestiality was indeed awakened by Crewe, whether it was the extremely strong desire for sex that night, or the bloodthirsty desire to stab the body of the sea crocodile with a trident, and now, he was offended and suffered All kinds of provocations made him tremble with anger.

He has done so much for the little octopus in front of him, from fighting against public opinion at the beginning, to refusing to show favor to himself, and even willing to kill for him at the moment—but what did Crewe do, Crewe pretended in front of him Putting on a pitiful and pitiful look, he blinded his eyes, thinking that the other party was really reserved and inviolable.

Gawain is the eldest son of the sea monster family, whether it is the status of the sea monster in the Cracked Rock Islands, Gawain's status at school and at home, and the status he can obtain after entering the Holy Church due to his authority, all of these matters. It made Gao Wen seldom disobeyed.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from Hilna, there were only things he didn't like, and there was nothing he couldn't get.But now that Crewe had finally separated from Geraint, another beast had appeared—a beast could be as close to Crewe as he was, which dealt a huge blow to Gawain's self-esteem.

That anger at killing himself was intertwined with the anger at this moment, but Krewe retorted hoarsely without knowing it-"If, if you have to define... then, then you and I are indeed just , or just friends—"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Wen was startled for two seconds.

Then he let go of Crewe's cheek, but slapped him hard across the face.

The force was so fierce that it almost knocked Crewe's ears off.

It is different from the slaps given to him by Elena and Saru, at most the corners of his mouth would be torn apart by Elena and Saru, while Gawain's slaps made blood overflow from his nose and corners of his mouth.He threw himself on the sand, and all his thoughts were scattered in an instant.

This is Gawain's anger, and it is also the first time Crewe understands that he can make any mistakes, but he must never challenge Gawain's possessiveness and self-esteem.

Gao Wen looked down at Crewe condescendingly, his expression was so cold that Crewe shuddered.He didn't help Crewe up, but just lowered his eyes and looked at the little octopus on the ground like he was judging a traitor.

"For you, I even killed my compatriots." Gao Wen paused, "Don't think that I dare not be rough on you, Opus."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black figure suddenly rushed towards Gawain beside him - that was Scoweed.He saw what Gawain did to Crewe from a distance, rushed forward quickly and wrestled with Gawain.

There were other beasts following behind him, and it seemed that he was in charge here when the old hunter was away.

Of course, their scuffle didn't last long before a hoarse roar was heard—"What the hell are you doing?! Gareth, pull them away!"

That's right, Gareth and Tristan are back.It's a pity that before they had time to rest, they found such a commotion in front of their house.

Gareth hurriedly whistled to let the other beasts pull Scovid away, and he quickly hugged Gawain's waist to prevent him from jumping on him again.

Tristan also stopped in front of the separated two, while instructing the beast to drag Scovid away, while waiting for Gawain's struggle to weaken, he nodded and asked Gareth to let the sea people go.

Then he pointed to Crew on the ground and said to Gareth, "Bring him in, away from Scoweed."

Gawain tried to stop him again, but Tristan pushed Gawain's chest violently, and said hoarsely, "You're fucking here, it's important that you fight with your little lover now, or let me tell you about the outcome important?"

Tristan's words made Gawain stop his movements. He stared fiercely at the direction Crewe and Scovid left, and finally gritted his teeth and did not catch up.

"Go ahead." Gao Wen's attitude was very bad, his chest was still heaving violently.

As a last resort, Tristan could only wrap his arms around Gawain's shoulders, forcing him to look away, while stuffing a cigarette into his hand.

"Come, come, talk while walking." He polished the match and lit it for Gawain first, then grinned and slapped Gawain on the back.

Gao Wen took several deep puffs of his cigarette, and finally calmed down a little.

He bit the cigarette butt, raised his hands and looked at the palms.

In fact, he didn't know why he became like this, his world seemed to be split in two.
