Tides: Years of Dawn

When Tristan was still at the spider's house, he heard a story.

It is said that a long time ago, when the spider family was just taking shape, in order to bind these bloodless people together, a magic thread was buried in their bodies.

This kind of thread allows members to sense and communicate with each other, just like a spider web, as long as one end is pulled, the whole web is under control.

But in all those years Tristan had never felt the presence of the magic thread in himself, nor the connection between his companions or his beasts and him.Of course, the spider family didn't use such a thread to bring him and Gareth back from another world, and they couldn't even catch the cloudy and sunny days that never escaped from the wizarding world.

So, Tristan believes it's just a rumor.The purpose of the rumors was to dissuade them from leaving the spider's house.

But now, he hopes that the rumor is true.Then he can close his eyes and shake the prehistoric power in his body, and then a compass will be born in his body, pointing to the direction Gareth left, pointing to the direction he should track.

When Tristan fell asleep in a daze the night before, and woke up in a daze the next day, but he never saw Gareth, he faintly felt something was wrong.

And when he learned about Gareth's decision from Qingtian, he sat at the dining table and closed his eyes quietly. After calming down for two seconds, he suddenly swept the table and broke all the tableware.

He stood up from the chair in a snap, grabbed the woman by the neck and pushed her against the wall.

The woman exclaimed, and in the next second she was hit hard on the head.

"I tried to calm down, but unfortunately I couldn't." Tristan tightened his fingers, and his knuckles dug deeply into the woman's throat, "You said how hateful you are, seeing you like this, I even I don't want to rape///jian you, I just want to kill you."

Tristan's voice was steady, but his arms trembled from the force.

After the redemption treatment, the woman can no longer be turned into a beast.She kept tugging at Tristan's arm, her eyeballs and cheeks quickly congested due to lack of oxygen.

Tristan watched her calmly, feeling her life go by in his hands.

Tristan has killed many men, and of course he has also killed women. Occasionally, if a client has a special request, he will also kill some old people and children by the way.Not much, but it does.Look at the needs of customers and the amount of rewards.

So let him have a little pity for the woman in front of him who saved their lives the day before, but now she is out of breath, her veins are bulging, her eyes are about to pop out, it is a pity that he can't do it.

All he could sense now was the anger inside him, the kind of rage that had left Gareth with him and left him alone in a place where life and death were in doubt.

Of course Tristan knew that Gareth was going to the pier, boarded the boat, and searched for a needle in a haystack like a mirage-like island.The island is full of ferocious and bloodthirsty sea beasts. Perhaps before Gareth reaches the destination, he has fallen into a deep sleep with the singing of the sea beasts and cannot wake up again.

So if the fool's master hadn't woken up, rushed out to stop him, physically grabbed Tristan's arm and knocked him back with a spell, there would now be a quiet corpse in this little room.

Tristan doesn't like loud people, so he always moves quickly and quietly.The woman couldn't even call for help, and everything she could see was wrapped little by little by black eyelids.

Tristan was pretty sure that if he had still had the dagger by his thigh, he would have plunged into the woman's stomach without hesitation, opening a hole and letting the entrails fall to the ground.

That's what happens when Gareth is taken away from him, no matter what the good-sounding reasons are, all the explanations don't matter, they don't matter.

Tristan can't afford to lose Gareth.

It was pretty ridiculous, but Tristan knew it was the truth.Even though he was the owner, Gareth was just a dog, but this dog could change to another owner, but the owner couldn't change to another animal after losing the other.

So when the woman told Tristan that the reason for doing this was to let Gareth unlock the genetic lock in his body, so that he could become a complete and independent man, and she thought that if he loved Gareth, he should give the beast a real freedom. , Tristan said nothing.

He doesn't care what is complete or incomplete, he is a rough man, a killer, he doesn't have such delicate and complicated things in his mind, he only knows that he needs to protect Gareth, from the moment he escaped from the spider's house, to Wrinkles and scars crept across his body and cheeks unwaveringly.

Tristan was human from an early age, and he knew what feelings he had developed for Gareth.It's just that he didn't want to study it carefully, and he didn't want to figure it out.He doesn't do mediocre things, and Gareth is there for him, happy to be a bounty hunter, more than anything else.

At that moment, the woman broke the inherent bond between him and Gareth with two or three sentences.

Before the woman died, a figure staggered out of the room.

He yelled "Stop" in vain, and tried to shake the right arm that was about to kill the other party, but after finding no effect, the man had no choice but to pick up a magic wand that was not taken away on the table. Tristan fired a faint spell light.

Tristan's right hand seemed to be struck by lightning, his whole arm went numb, and the woman slipped limply to the ground.

Hearing the other party read a name and convey a vague order, the idiot rushed towards Tristan like an arrow off the string.

Tristan didn't have time to dodge, and was pressed by this fierce force, the back of his head hit the ground, buzzed, and he became dizzy for a moment.

And when his consciousness gathered again and he opened his eyes, the fool's master had straddled him, grabbed his collar, and pointed his wand right at his head.

"Calm down, I'll let you go when you calm down."

The man's voice came from a dry throat, like someone playing a violin that was out of tune and loose.

Tristan stared at those eyes for a long time, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to silently put down the fist he had just clenched.

When Gareth came to the pier according to the directions on the map, there was indeed a simple and dilapidated boat beside the pier as the woman had described.

There is no one on board, but there are some dry goods in the warehouse.She said that it was their usual hunting boat, and Gareth could take it and sail northward, and he would see another pier in a short time.

Board the pier and find a slightly formed road nearby, go all the way to the end, and you will find the official cargo ship.The cargo ship will sail deep into the sea for about five days, and there will be a thick fog around it.

At that time, both the crew and the captain became particularly vigilant.At this time, Gareth had to find a piece of driftwood or a small boat, get off the freighter, and continue to go deep into the fog.

If he is lucky enough to pass through the mist, he will see traces of the island.Gareth was on the right track as long as he could see a towering, fractured rock wall rising in a very strange way from the shore.

The small island with a huge cliff is one of the islands where a large number of sea people gather, and the place where the cliff island is the center and the surrounding three large islands and countless broken islands is the place where her husband once in a while I'm going to go to the Cracked Rock Islands.

Leaving the women's cabin and heading for the pier, Gareth encountered no obstacles along the way, and of course there was no one around.This is a good place, not far from the populated towns, but relatively secluded.

On the other side of the world, he and Tristan had chosen similar places to settle.It seems that whether it is the positive side or the negative side of the world, the selection criteria for the location of the wanted criminals are similar.

The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was leaving Tristan without saying goodbye.

After entering the room last night, Tristan had fallen asleep, a deep sleep, and snored.Gareth sat next to Tristan watching him for a while, trying to wake him up several times.

But he refrained from doing so, after all, as long as Tristan woke up, he would never allow himself to do so.

Gareth knew that his decision to go out alone was reckless and hasty, but inexplicably, it seemed that there was a hand behind him pushing him to move faster.

Looking back, Gareth had never left Tristan's side for so many years.Sometimes the bounty task will make them have a small difference, but the difference must be limited to three days.

Once two and a half days passed, Gareth became anxious.Tristan could see his anxiety, too, and made it back before the three days were up no matter how hard it was.

I remember a time long ago, long before Gareth was working with Tristan, he was placed in a safe house, and Tristan hadn't returned that time until the third night.

Gareth still has some impressions of his own mood at that time. He watched the sun slowly set outside the window, watched the sky change from orange to light blue, and then watched the light blue become deep again, and the stars and moon slowly became more and more beautiful. The clearer it is, and the hustle and bustle of the day is replaced by the silence of the night, the anxiety increases little by little.

Gareth waited on the bed, then on the table, then by the window.He tossed and turned, fidgeted, and felt agitated, but Tristan never came back.

He knew that Tristan was very powerful, and ordinary dangers could not embarrass him.And the safe house I live in is indeed very safe, not to mention people, birds don't seldom shit on their roof.

But those noisy bugs under the sky were chirping, louder and louder, and Gareth was also upset, getting more and more anxious every minute.

Until the end, Gareth couldn't wait any longer and decided to go out to find it.

Although Tristan repeatedly told him that he could only wait in the room, Gareth didn't remember any instructions at that moment, and he knew that he had to see Tristan.Even if Tristan yelled at him and beat him up, he still had to see him.

So he opened the door and saw Tristan stumbling back from a distance.

Yes, Tristan came back as promised.Even though he was injured all over his body, one foot seemed to be broken, he was limping, and he couldn't stand at all.

But seeing Tristan, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

That night, Gareth curled himself into a ball, wrapping his arms around Tristan's waist.He banged his head against Tristan's chest, and Tristan was stroking his matted hair and back.

Since then, Tristan has been back in about two days.No matter how long the delay is, it will definitely not wait until the third day gets dark.

Of course, in the future, Gareth also went out with Tristan to make a living.So the two of them rarely parted, whether it was day or night, whether they were caught and thrown into the basement, or sitting in a tavern and getting drunk.

Tristan must be going nuts by now.Gareth thought silently, and glanced back at the small pier, which was becoming less and less visible.

But Tristan had protected him for so many years, and he had to think about Tristan once in the end.Besides, this is indeed Gareth's own business.

Even if Gareth's simple mind doesn't understand at all, Tristan will never give up just because Gareth has gone away for one night and has gone too far to catch up.

The connection between the master and the beast cannot be broken even through the labyrinth of corridors and the thick door panels cast with spells, although the two of them can't feel it yet.
