Chameleon Makes Its Entrance (Part 2)

After Yesveta agreed to help Sordil complete his magical experiments, Igneel immediately approached him with a beaming smile.

"Brother Sordil, I guess I've fulfilled my promise from back then!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then you see... hehe!"

Seeing Igneel rubbing his hands together and looking at him with excitement, Sordil instantly understood what he meant.

"Buzz!"

A flash of multicolored light appeared, and Sordil switched to the Time Dragon Channel. Then, he raised his right hand and lightly drew a line in the air before him. The next second, a spatial rift appeared in front of him. Sordil reached into the rift and retrieved several large wooden barrels. He then said to Igneel, "Brother Igneel, take these barrels of wine and drink them first. Come back to me when you run out."

Igneel hugged the large wooden barrels to his arms excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Brother Sordil, I'll come find you when the wine runs out. Oh, and by the way, Brother Sordil, remember to think of me if something like this happens again!"

Watching Igneel leave happily, Sordil laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Igneel, I'll come to you again if something like this happens next time!"

After seeing Igneel, Sordil said to Yesveta, "Brother Yesveta, shall we begin our magical experiments now?"

Seeing that Igneel had received his due reward, Yesveta, who was familiar with Sordil's reputation, nodded after hearing Sordil's question, and then said eagerly, "Brother Sordil, I've been waiting for you to say that. Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you in your magical experiments?"

"Brother Yesveta, you just need to sit on the ground and keep your body still, I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, no problem!"

Everything went smoothly at Sordil's place, but Igneel encountered three roadblocks... oops, a slip of the tongue, I meant roadblock dragons.

"Igneel, the friend you mentioned who made the bet with you, could it be Sordil?"

Igneel looked at Metalicana, whose face was full of black lines, and was somewhat confused as to what he had done wrong to make him so angry. (With fine wine in front of him, who would remember scheming against others before!) However, as a noble dragon living in the new era with extremely high manners, Igneel still politely replied, "Yes! Didn't I tell you before? A friend asked me to find Thunder Dragon. He had something important to discuss with the other party, and you even offered to help me at the time. Have you forgotten?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten! I just thought it was something Grandiere asked you to do, so I offered to help you, but... sob sob!"

After mentally denouncing Igneel's fraudulent behavior, Metalicana silently swallowed the bitter pill in her mouth and walked aside. Igneel and the other two were bewildered by Metalicana's strange actions. After a long while, Vyseria, having guessed something, suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Skiadrum, what's wrong with those two? One looks so worried, while the other keeps laughing?"

Skiadrum first touched the smooth back of his head, then patted Igneel's shoulder forcefully, and finally said sincerely, "It's alright, what you can't understand, I can't understand either!"

Glancing at the unreliable Skiadrum, Igneel decided to ask the person involved what exactly happened.

"Vyseria, what on earth is on your mind that makes you laugh so happily?"

Seeing Igneel and the other person staring at him with wide eyes, Vyseria stopped laughing and whispered in their ears, "The reason I was laughing is because I was thinking about why Metalicana is in a bad mood."

Why?

"Come, come, let me tell you, things should be like this, and then like this..."

"Ha ha!"

After learning the whole story from Vyseria, the three hugged each other, laughing so hard they almost fell over. Yelibell, who had overheard everything the four were thinking, looked at the four puddles of mud not far away and muttered under her breath, "These four guys are so boring, making such a fuss over something so trivial?"

Igneel and his two companions didn't hear Yelibell's comments about them, so they continued laughing. After about fifteen minutes, Igneel, tired of laughing, stood up, clutching the wine in his arms, intending to find a scenic spot to savor it properly.

"Hey, hey, Igneel, don't go!"

Turning to look at Vyseria, who was blocking his way, Igneel asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else?"

Looking at Igneel's bewildered expression, Vyseria said angrily, "Brother Sordil has already kept his promise, shouldn't you also keep the conditions you promised me?"

Thanks to Vyseria's reminder, Igneel finally regained his lost memories. Looking at the wine in his arms and considering his reputation, Igneel reluctantly gave half of it to Vyseria. Just as the three finished their "division" and were about to enjoy the wine, blinding yellow lights pierced their vision.

The light came quickly and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in just a few dozen seconds. Everyone on the platform turned to look at the source of the light, where a golden dragon, its entire body crackling with bright yellow lightning, stood not far away, while Grandiere Two had vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing his owner disappear, Igneel immediately cried out in panic, "Who are you? Where did you take Brother Sordil?"

"Brother Igneel, aren't I standing right here?"

Upon hearing Sordil's reply, Igneel rubbed his eyes and then pinched Vyseria's arm hard.

"Ah! Igneel, what are you doing?"

Igneel looked at the howling Vyseria and asked softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Nonsense! I'll pinch you and see if it hurts!"

"If you feel pain, then it means that what that guy on the other side said is true, and he really is Brother Sordil!"

Seeing the astonished Igneel and the others, Yelibell, a seasoned audience member of the chameleon show, said disdainfully, "Of course he's Sordil's brother! This is just a small change that occurred after he received the power of that Thunder Dragon. There's no need to make such a fuss."

"Receive... receive... the power of the Thunder Dragon?"

"A minor change?"

"That's all?"

"No need to make a fuss?"

Upon hearing the question about how the four of Igneel had completed the assembly together, Yelibell nodded speechlessly and said, "It's alright, you'll get used to Sordil's changes soon enough!"

As the strategist among the four, Metalicana gleaned something else from Yelibell's words, and asked softly, "Will you get used to this change soon? Does that mean Brother Sordil will have to accept someone's power and transform?"

Seeing that one of the four had finally come to their senses, Yelibell nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and nodded back.

"Brother Sordil, whose power do you need to accept?"

Seeing Igneel's bewildered expression, Yeribel didn't answer his question, but instead gave Igneel and the other three a meaningful look. Seeing Yelibell's gaze, the four of them shared a common question, and then they said in unison, "Could it be the four of us?"
