Tides: Years of Dawn

After returning to the Cracked Rock Islands, Crewe quickly returned home, and then went straight to Gawain's house.He anxiously waited for Gao Wen to come back, and then the two shut themselves in the study and put the two handwritten books together.

Gawain understood Gu Haiwen better than Crewe, so he was more shocked than Crewe.

Based on the numbers and symbols marked on it, he pieced together the ancient sea text.The incomplete words and sentences before are no longer just fragmented words, but complete sentences sentence by sentence.

Crewe really wanted Gao Wen to read it to him, but Gao Wen was holding two manuscripts, reading and taking notes while reading. From time to time, he asked Crewe to carry a dictionary for himself from the study room, or sharpen a charcoal pencil and change the manuscript paper.

Gawain saw the early morning of the next day at a glance. He didn't ask his servant to change a candle for himself until all the candles were burned out. He closed the handwritten book and sighed deeply.

Gawain handed his record to Crewe, which was translated by him with all his efforts.

Debbie's handwritten book is not thick, but it tells three truths that Gao Wen could never have imagined.

First, about the two spells.The effects of the two spells are the same, but because the location—or world—of the spell is released is different, different activation methods are required.

The wind, rain, thunder, and lightning spells they use have the modern Haiwen way of reciting in their own world. If they want to cast spells in another world, they can only use the ancient Haiwen's way of reciting.

That's why Debbie drew down a line vertically and wrote different spells on the left and right.Their effect is the same, but the method of release varies greatly depending on the world in which they are located.

Second, about the other world, which is the other side of the world that Debbie said.

This is what Gao Wen does not understand the most, and it is also the most unacceptable reality.

According to Debbie's understanding, besides the world that Lu Wu and Hai Wu lived in, there was another world superimposed beside them.Because the two worlds are on different planes, they cannot discover each other.

The energies of the two worlds are connected, just like a connected vessel or an hourglass, the liquid or grains of sand inside them are certain.If one plane gets too much energy, the other plane will suffer natural and man-made disasters, so as to maintain the total amount of energy unchanged.

If a new life is born on one plane, there must be death on the other plane.The prosperity of their plane at this moment must mean the decline of the reverse world.

And Debbie said that if you want to travel from one plane to another, you must go through "crossing the border", that is, you need to go through the weird door they saw before and depicted in the picture.

And third, about that door—Debbie calls it the Yin and Yang door.

The Yin-Yang Gate is a transgressive gate. Its opening and closing are not subject to human control, but there are rules to follow.It connects the two worlds, and Debbie discovers where the three doors are.

A door is located in the extreme north of the Cracked Rock Islands, almost close to the holy island where the Frost Witch lives.

One is in the southeast, adjacent to Lu Wu's territory, which is called the Devil's Triangle by the wizards.

There is another place in the desert, deep in Lu Wu's territory, and very close to Behemoth's heart.

All three were documented by Debbie, who documented four of the most notable transgressions of which she was aware.

One happened 400 years ago.

At that time, a land witch team entered the depths of the desert, eager to find traces of Behemoth.When the results came out, only one survived, and the survivor went crazy.He said that he saw the other side, and there was another universe on the other side, and there were also people who looked exactly like him, but they were by no means the same soul.

No one knows what happened to him, as he disappeared from historical records not long after.The last record is that he entered the desert again and disappeared from sight.

One happened 200 years ago.

Back then, a ship was accidentally discovered by sea people.

Gao Wen had an impression of this matter. He heard from Hua De that the ancestors destroyed the ship, but they did not find treasure on it, but found some strange things.

They captured a living person, but found that the living person was neither an ordinary human being nor a Lu Wu. Their spirits seemed to have been strongly stimulated, so that they kept asking the sea people who arrested them, what year is it now, what is the current time? What is the location.

A map was found from their ship, but the map was completely different from what Haimin and Lu Wu knew. None of the countries marked on it had ever existed, and even the arrangement of land plates was completely different from the normal map. Same.

Later, the sea people killed them and sank to the bottom of the sea together with the ship.I heard that some gadgets were brought up, but they were discarded by the sea people because they were worthless.

The last two transgressions occurred very close together, one 23 years ago and the other 20 years ago.

According to the records, there were traitors who fled across the border in Lu Wu's spider house, and there were other hired wizards who used cross-border pursuits afterwards, but there were very few records of these two incidents, and there was no word on whether they were successful or not, and there was no further tracking material.

These four incidents are the most conclusive cross-border incidents.

But Gawain felt that there were at least five successful transgressions—because according to Debbie's description, he was very sure that Debbie had seen the other side of the world, and had dabbled in foreign territories more than once.

Debbie has a very general description of the Otherworld.

At the end of her handwritten book, she said that it was not hell, because there was no fire burning from the ground.It wasn't heaven, because meteorites fell from the sky.Those huge ships were made of steel, and they erected their masts, and where the masts pointed, the sky and the earth would shatter, and the mountains and rivers would capsize.

They are people, but not just people.They wore strange costumes, but the weapons in their hands were not scepters or magic stones, but bent triangles, stones holding steel, and the steel was melted into the fire, but flames spewed out.

She saw strange lights flickering in people's chests, and heard strange voices shouting in boxes, speaking strange languages, setting fire to seas and flattening forests.

The asphalt was laid out on the sea, and the corpses were washed away by the waves.The birds and beasts disappeared, but the undead were everywhere.

But they turned a blind eye and killed each other with gusto.There is no end to the battlefield, and the flames of war never stop.

It was an endless nightmare.

At the end of the record, Debbie asked herself, I don't know whether I will enter the palace of the devil or come to the other side after death.I don't know whether I will fall into a deep sleep at the bottom of the sea, enter the palace for pleasure, or wander in a nightmare until I am burned by the sulfur pitch and completely wiped out.

"I saw something that I shouldn't have seen. It was a purgatory that the three sages had never set foot in."

"I heard a language that I shouldn't understand. It was more bleak and cruel than Leviathan's wailing."

"I thought I could know more than others, and I spent my whole life looking for traces of the River of Tears in order to gain more knowledge."

"But now that I finally drink the water of the lake, I don't know anything about it."

Debbie recorded the Gate of Yin and Yang, recorded the operation method of spells in another world, recorded how to cross the boundary, and even the scene after crossing the boundary—but after everything had a preliminary outline, she wanted to forget everything she knew. Say it was just a nightmare.

Crewe didn't know if it was because of their blood relationship. He always felt that he could understand the depression and loneliness in Debbie's heart, but more of it was doubts about his own existence and the beliefs he had always held.

After Crewe finished the translation, he and Gao Wen were speechless.

Crewe didn't tell Gao Wen about the metal thing, he still had some reservations.Since the book belonged to Debbie, and the research was obtained by her lifelong dedication, Nacre believed that he had the right to keep the most information, and he also had the right to choose who to share the information with.

Yes, additional information, he decided to get it from Tristan and Gareth.

Even though Debbie deeply expressed his fear of the alien world in his words, Crewe's curiosity still did not stop.

Crewe has no faith, or rather his faith is very shaky.He felt that all beliefs must be convinced and firm with facts, but now the facts did not give him enough evidence, so he wanted to know more.

Gao Wen said, maybe Debbie had the same idea as you at first, that's why she stepped into the nightmare.

Gawain's worry was not unreasonable, but even if it was a nightmare, he had to see it with his own eyes before he could admit it - besides, even if it was a nightmare, Crewe had experienced quite a few nightmares, and he didn't care about adding another one.Even if he doesn't have the ability to set foot in other worlds like Debbie, at least he needs to know more.

Only when you know, will you have the position and power to choose whether to go or not.

He wants to be Gao Wen's assistant, and he also wants to support the famous octopus family with his own strength.If he doesn't even have the courage and guts to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, then Crewe can't convince himself to take the position of master.
