Poison Dragon Yelibell

"Anna, think about it carefully again. Has your brother revealed any other problems during his time with the Western Border Army? If so, tell your sister-in-law immediately so she can be on guard and prevent anything from happening to him!"

"Of course! Sister Diphiya, you don't know, when Teacher was in the Western Border Army, he didn't care about the army at all. Instead, he spent all day reading those magic books. Sometimes he would even forget to eat and sleep."

"Oh! You mean this problem?"

"Yes!"

"This is nothing new. My brother had these symptoms before when he was in the Western Continent. But after he read through all the magic books in the Western Continent, the problem disappeared. I didn't expect it to recur now!"

Hearing their conversation, Irene could tell that the guy she was going to marry was probably a magic fanatic. Now, she finally understood why Sordil had refused to marry her and instead demanded that she teach him Augmented Magic as a condition for signing the alliance. The three of them had their own complaints and answers to their questions, their inner needs being met. But Sordil, as the person involved, was finding it hard to stand it.

"Have you two finished complaining?"

"Brother, we don't like hearing you say that. What do you mean by complaining? We're just worried that you and your wife don't understand each other well enough, which could cause some misunderstandings. That's why we told your wife about your situation."

"Yes, teacher! We were worried about you too!"

"If you're so worried about me, wouldn't it be better for you to stay?"

"Can we stay?"

Hearing their simultaneous questions, Sordil realized he'd been tricked by the two girls. But he'd already said "stay" in front of Irene, and couldn't take it back. For a moment, Sordil was at a loss. Just then, Xiao Qi and the captain of the guard approached.

"Miss Diphiya, if we don't set off soon, we'll have to spend the night in the wilderness."

Seeing the way out offered by Xiao Qi and the other person, Sordil immediately took the opportunity and chimed in, "Yes! Diphiya, you should hurry up and set off!"

Faced with Sordil's refusal to admit his mistake, Diphiya and her companion had no choice but to return to the carriage dejectedly, preparing to depart. Just then, Irene, who had lost faith in protecting Sordil for three months, suddenly spoke up, "If you two sisters are truly worried about General Oddek, you may stay here now. As for King Cuiyi'aorshu, I will explain things to him."

Upon hearing this, Diphiya and her companion in the carriage immediately jumped down excitedly and surrounded Irene, praising her incessantly.

"Diphiya, have you forgotten why I left you in Philiers in the first place?"

Upon hearing Sordil's Mind Talk, the initially excited Diphiya immediately calmed down. At this moment, Sordil seized the opportunity to speak, saying, "Since His Majesty the King has ordered the entire delegation to return to Philiers, there must be some arrangements to be made, so Diphiya and the others must return. However, Anna is not on the delegation's list, so she can stay in Dragunov. This way, Diphiya won't have to worry about me getting into trouble, and Her Majesty Irene won't need to explain to His Majesty the King. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

After Sordil finished speaking, Xiao Qi and the captain of the guard, who were standing to the side, both breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried about being punished upon returning to Philiers. Irene also couldn't refute Sordil's plan, so Diphiya could only board the carriage with reluctance towards Sordil and head towards Philiers.

After seeing off Diphiya and the others, Sordil told Anna to return to her residence first, while he himself went to the palace with Irene to intensify his study of Augmented Magic.

Polson Grand Canyon

Looking down at the lush, scenic canyon below, Sordil asked incredulously, "Grandiere, does that Poison Dragon senior really live here?"

"I know what you're thinking. Do you think that poison dragons should live in remote, desolate, and Desolate Poison Domain?"

"Isn't that how it is?"

"Of course not! Apart from its magical attribute being poison, the Poison Dragon is no different from other dragons, so its habitat is no different from that of other dragons."

"I see! Oh, by the way! What's the name of this senior poison dragon Grandiere?"

"Her name is Yelibell!"

Upon hearing the name of the Poison Dragon, and glancing at the beautiful surroundings, Sordil asked hesitantly, "Yelibell? Grandiere, this senior isn't a woman, is she?"

"Of course she's a woman! Alright, enough talk, let's go down and find her!"

After saying that, Grandiere descended into the canyon. Sordil, who was terrible with directions, dared not linger in the sky any longer and immediately gave chase.

A cave in the canyon

A giant, purplish-red dragon lay sprawled in the cave, gazing up at the direction where Sordil and his companion were, muttering to itself.

"Why does Grandiere have the mood to come see me?"

"And who is that little guy next to her? Could he be Grandiere's little boyfriend?"

"Even if he is Grandiere's boyfriend, what are these two doing here together? Showing off?"

Just then, the crimson dragon 'heard' a voice.

"Sister Grandiere, is Senior Yelibell pretty?"

"She's very pretty! Don't worry, you'll definitely like her!"

Upon hearing this, the crimson dragon instantly stood up, its mind filled with countless questions.

"What the heck? What do you mean you'll definitely like it? Am I being forced into a blind date?"

The series of devastating news that followed made Yelibell even more certain that she had been betrayed by Grandiere.

"Sister Grandiere, do you think Yelibell would like me?"

"You're so cute, she'll definitely like you. Even if she doesn't, I'm here for you, right? Don't worry, she won't get away."

"What's going on? This isn't just being forced into a blind date, it's clearly being forced into marriage!"

Upon learning of her 'miserable' situation, Yelibell instantly lost the courage to stay any longer. Listening carefully to her surroundings and confirming the direction of the two who were forcing her into marriage, Yelibell mustered all her strength and flew in the opposite direction. Her inaction was less of a problem than her rapid flight in another direction, which allowed Sordil, a master of Space Magic, to instantly lock onto her location.

"Grandiere, a dragon is flying in the opposite direction from us. Could it be Senior Yelibell?"

"That's possible!"

"Then let's hurry and chase after them!"

Grandiere nodded, agreeing with Sordil's decision. However, neither of them immediately gave chase; instead, they each began casting spells.

"Time Acceleration"

"Gale Force"

Two beams of light, one purple and one blue, shone upon the two. They exchanged a knowing smile and then raced after Yelibell at top speed. Yelibell, frantically running ahead, sensed the two marriage-forcing duo rapidly closing in behind her and felt utterly devastated. "Aren't other beautiful female dragons appealing enough? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?"

Although she knew her chances of escaping this time were slim, Yelibell was unwilling to stop her escape. Thus, a fierce chase ensued in the Grand Canyon, with one dragon in front and two behind.
