After nearly thirty minutes of effort, Sordil finally helped everyone recover from their injuries. At that moment, he said to everyone, "Brothers, you've all worked so hard for me these past few days, and I feel a little guilty. So, I'd like to invite you all to my home so I can treat you all to a proper meal as a token of my gratitude!"

Upon hearing Sordil's words, Igneel and the others readily agreed, except for Yesveta hesitated somewhat.

"Brother Yesveta, don't worry, I won't forget the jewels I promised you! I invited you to my house today for three reasons: first, to apologize to you on behalf of Brother Igneel and the others; second, to show you around so you can easily find me in the future; and third, to thank you for helping me complete my magic experiment."

"Brother Sordil, it's not that I don't trust your character, but I'm worried that if I'm away for too long, there will be no one to look after the house, and it will be troublesome if a thief breaks in!"

"Oh! So that's what you're worried about, brother! How about this, I'll go home with you first, and after you've packed up all your valuables, we can go to my house together, okay?"

"If that's the case, that would be wonderful! But..."

"Don't worry about me, brother. It's no big deal if I come home a few days later!"

"So, your gathering with Igneel and the others..."

"It's just a few days' delay, I don't think Brother Igneel and the others will blame me!"

At this moment, Igneel and the others hurriedly chimed in, saying that it wouldn't matter if the celebration was delayed by a few days. And so, the eight of them, having reached a consensus, embarked on their Yesveta. However, before leaving the main peak of the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range, Sordil spent some time leaving a Teleportation Array on the summit.

The outer edge of the Sand Mountain Range

After five days of travel, Sordil and his eight companions finally arrived near Yesveta's home. Upon seeing the familiar scenery, Yesveta excitedly introduced the place to everyone, "Brother Sordil, do you see that yellow mountain not far away? That's my home!"

"Brother Yesveta, your house is really high up!"

"Brother, I have no choice! If I didn't live this high up, I wouldn't be able to receive so much lightning. Without lightning, I feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Oh, I see!"

"Yes! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have stayed here all this time without going out."

Sordil looked at the mountain peaks flashing with lightning in the distance, then said to Yesveta, "Brother Yesveta, if I could move this mountain, could you move to another place to live?"

Yesveta stared in shock at Sordil, who had just uttered such outrageous words. He exclaimed in astonishment, "Move... move this mountain, Brother Sordil, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"Of course I wasn't joking with you, bro!"

"Alright! As long as you can move the Sand Mountain Range away, I, Yesveta, will settle down in the place you've chosen for me!"

"It's a deal!"

Having obtained Yesveta's consent, Sordil flew straight towards the Sand Mountain Range, preparing to complete his monumental task of moving the mountains. Just as Sordil was preparing to move the mountains, Igneel walked up to Yesveta and said gleefully, "Yesveta, you're definitely moving this house!"

Glancing at Igneel's mischievous grin, Yesveta retorted defiantly, "Igneel, aren't you being a bit too absolute? Brother Sordil hasn't even moved the Sand Mountain Range yet, how do you know I'm definitely moving?"

"Haha! Yesveta, I forgot to tell you, Brother Sordil moved to Ishgar from the Western Continent back then!"

"So what!"

"So what? Yesveta, it seems you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was that Brother Sordil moved the mountain where they lived to Ishgar!"

"This... this can't be, right?"

"Impossible? If you don't believe me, you can ask Metalicana and the others to see if I'm lying."

Yesveta looked at Metalicana and the others with skepticism, only to see them silently nod in agreement with Igneel's statement. Just then, a loud shout came from a nearby mountain peak, drawing Yesveta and the others' attention.

"Quality Magic: Compression"

A massive Magic Array enveloped the entire Sand Mountain Range, then the mountain began to shrink until it became a miniature sculpture the size of a palm, held in Sordil's hand. The seven stone statues on the ground, their eyes fixed at a 360-degree angle, silently watched the return of the Mountain Dragon.

Looking at the seven motionless stone statues, Sordil waved his hands in front of them, hoping to awaken them. With his efforts, Igneel was the first to transform into light and regain his mobility. Glancing at the miniature sculpture in Sordil's hand, Igneel asked curiously, "Brother Sordil, where are you planning to move your Yesveta?"

"Of course I'll move to the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range and live with you. That way it will be easier for me to find you in the future."

"That's perfect! With Yesveta guarding the entrance, we no longer need to worry about anyone taking over the cave while we're away!"

After Igneel uttered these words, he immediately received fierce support from Metalicana and the other two.

"Igneel is absolutely right! I've always been worried that someone would take over our cave while we're away."

"Who says otherwise! Your caves have nothing, so leaving for a while won't be a problem. But my cave is full of rare minerals. Every time I leave, I'm conflicted about what to do with them. Now it's all right, Yesveta watching over them for me!"

"Yes, yes, you're right. We can go out without worry from now on."

Listening to the heated discussion among the four, Yesveta roared, "I'm moving in, not going to watch over the place for you!"

"Tch! What's the difference between you staying home all day and helping us guard the house?"

Faced with the four people's strong rebuttal, Yesveta felt a surge of desolation and helplessness. At this moment, all he wanted to do was shout, "What's wrong with being a shut-in? Did I eat your rice? Why is everyone targeting me?"

Sordil ignored the five people who were exchanging insults and walked up to Yelibell, asking softly, "Sister Yelibell, why don't you move your home to the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range as well?"

The usually unrestrained Yelibell, however, blushed like a young girl experiencing her first love, her back to Sordil, saying nothing but nodding slightly to indicate her agreement. Just as the two finalized the moving arrangements, the long-silent Grandiere Radio suddenly sent a telegram urging Sordil to depart immediately.

"If you still need to help Yelibell move, you'd better set off quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to go home this year!"

"Since Sister Grandiere has spoken, let's set off now!"

After receiving Sordil's reply, Grandiere fell silent again. Seeing Grandiere, Sordil, feeling awkward and unwelcome, dared not linger any longer and silently went to set up the Teleportation Array. A quarter of an hour later, having finished his work, Sordil called out to the five-person group who had been bickering and to Yelibell and the other person, "Brother Igneel, stop arguing. We should go back to the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range and help Brother Yesveta settle down."

Upon hearing Sordil's words, Igneel group of five stopped their bickering and spread their wings, preparing to fly back to the Dil'dixiu Mountain Range. Seeing their actions, Sordil hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Brother Igneel, flying back is too slow. Let's use the Teleportation Array to go back."

Igneel pointed to the Magic Array diagram at Sordil's feet and said, "Teleportation Array? Is that what's under your feet?"

"Right!"

How do I use this?

"Brother Igneel, you guys just need to stand inside the Magic Array, leave the rest to me!"

Trusting Sordil, Igneel and the others stood on the Magic Array, quietly waiting for it to activate. Once everyone was on the Magic Array, Sordil began to channel Space Magic into Magic Array. Immediately, the Magic Array emitted a dazzling silver-white light, so bright that everyone could not open their eyes.
