Does the Butterfly Effect Really Exist? (2)

"Everyone, I have something to say to Irene alone. I hope you can leave for a moment."

"Dude, you're not planning to get us out of here, and then..."

At this point, Diphiya suddenly stopped, then raised her right fist and swung it forcefully downwards twice. Seeing Diphiya's action, everyone stared at Sordil with strange looks, as if questioning, or perhaps looking at him with disdain, or perhaps with astonishment. Sordil, who had been betrayed by his younger sister, stood there dumbfounded, his face covered in black lines (a waterfall of dark lines resembling a waterfall), unsure how to defend himself.

After a few minutes of emergency repairs, Old Suo's central nervous system finally recovered from the information overload. After re-analyzing the current situation, Old Suo's language center prepared a reasonably reasonable explanation for him, and so the young master's voice system activated.

"Diphiya, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever think that? I really just..."

Before Sordil could finish speaking, the quick-witted Divine Constable Di instantly spotted his flaw and decisively interrupted him.

"Brother, you keep your thoughts to yourself. How would I know if you've thought about it? Besides, even if you have, you can just say you haven't!"

After being framed, he was followed by a series of humiliating blows. This combination of attacks made Sordil feel that he might be utterly disgraced and even die at the hands of his own people. Fortunately, there's always a way out. Just as Old Suo was about to be convicted, the Yelibell stepped forward and spoke a word of justice, helping Old Suo successfully weather this storm.

"Diphiya, stop fooling around! Sordil really has something to tell Irene, it's not what you think."

"Sister Yelibell, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to us?"

"Little girl, you don't even believe what I say anymore?"

"Tch! Who doesn't know you... Waaah!"

Having intercepted the intelligence in advance, Yelibell rushed to Diphiya's side with lightning speed and covered her mouth to prevent her from saying the embarrassing things that followed.

"Sordil and his brother still have something to discuss, let's hurry up and go out!"

After saying this in a hurried tone, Yelibell dragged Diphiya outside. Although the others still had some doubts, they didn't want to stay any longer, so they followed her out of the hall.

Once the hall doors closed, leaving only the two of them, Sordil used Transformation Magic to revert to human form and quickly walked to stand before Irene. Looking at the Crimson before him, the thousand words Sordil had prepared instantly died in his throat, leaving only a sigh squeezed out between his teeth.

"Why?"

"I want to fight alongside you, not stay in the rear and watch you risk your life!"

"There are many ways to fight alongside me, so why did you choose the path of Dragon Slayer Magic? You should know that it will..."

Before Sordil could finish speaking, Irene interrupted, saying, "It will turn me into a dragon, a dragon just like you!"

Looking at Her Majesty the Queen's resolute gaze, Sordil didn't know how to refute her. Finally, he said weakly, "Once that happens, you will never be able to turn back into a human, and you will never be able to become a queen again!"

Irene stretched out two jade-like fingers and covered Sordil's mouth, then wrapped her other arm around Old Suo waist and rested her head on his broad chest.

"I don't care about any of that, all I need is you! (Irene)"

With a soft, beautiful woman in his arms and sweet words in his ears, Sordil's nerves gradually relaxed. Just then, an unexpected figure entered his mind, pulling him out of his reverie and back into the harsh reality.

"Irene, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Hearing Old Suo's cryptic question, Irene was completely bewildered, wondering what he was up to now. However, when she noticed Sordil staring intently at her stomach, she immediately realized what he was talking about. Her Majesty the Queen's face instantly turned bright red, and then she shoved the big pig's trotter in front of her away, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"

"Oh, what's there to be shy about? Do you have it or not?"

Faced with Sordil's relentless questioning, Her Majesty the Queen longed to turn and run away, but knowing Old Suo as she did, she knew he would relentlessly repeat the question 24/7 if she refused to answer. To avoid being pestered by this persistent question, Her Majesty the Queen forced herself to answer, suppressing her embarrassment.

"My body has been perfectly healthy lately, and I haven't stopped having sex, so I'm probably not pregnant."

Hearing the word "no," Sordil felt both disappointed and relieved. Disappointed because he had destroyed the vibrant Fairy Queen, but relieved because he, this rainbow butterfly, had changed the course of the world, and he and his friends had successfully avoided that dreadful future.

Nevertheless, there were some things Sordil still needed to tell Irene, since it concerned Her Majesty the Queen's safety.

"Irene, the dragonification brought about by Dragon Slayer Magic is not as simple or perfect as you think. It will steal your sense of taste and cause you unbearable pain and itching all over your body. Most importantly, the difference between a dragon's vision and the human semicircular canal's perception will cause severe dizziness, making you unable to use any means of transportation. Once others discover this fatal weakness, your life will be threatened. This is the fundamental reason why I am preventing you from learning Dragon Slayer Magic."

Looking into Sordil's eager eyes, Her Majesty the Queen felt a warmth in her heart. After all, not every woman can find a man who truly cares for and loves her.

Seeing that his wife didn't answer him but stared at him blankly, the helpless Old Suo could only plead, "Irene, even though you have now obtained the Dragon Slayer Magic, promise me you won't use it, at least not now."

Irene reached out and cupped Sordil's cheeks, asking softly, "Honey, would you let anyone hurt me?"

Of course not!

"That's enough. I trust you will protect me!"

With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for? Since his wife had placed her safety and trust before him, what reason did he have to refuse? So Old Suo embraced Her Majesty the Queen, enjoying the only moment of tenderness in this chaotic world.

"Thump!"

Just then, a banging sound suddenly came from the direction of the gate, followed by whispers that drifted into their ears.

"Yesveta, why did you push me? I bumped into the doorframe, it hurts so much!"

"Little sister Diphiya, it's not my fault. It was Uncle Sage Dragon who was moving around behind me, which is why I rushed forward and bumped into you."

"Hey, you two, keep your voices down, or they'll hear you." (Kaldiz)

"Yes, yes, everyone, keep your voices down!" (Lindel)

"Why is it so quiet inside? Could they have discovered us?" (Mevajena)

"Hiss! That's possible. I think we'd better retreat quickly!" (Sacred Dragon)

Realizing they might have been exposed, the dragons clinging to the door began to slowly retreat, preparing to escape the battlefield before the enemy arrived. However, due to the narrow corridor, they could not retreat simultaneously and could only retreat linearly.

After walking for a while, a reddish-brown figure appeared ahead, blocking their retreat. To ensure they wouldn't be trapped in the corridor by the two inside, Sage Dragon, who was clearing the way, whispered, "Brother, please make way. We have important business to attend to and are in a hurry!"

"Really?"

"Really! Really! We really have..."

Sage Dragon's words came to an abrupt halt, as he suddenly realized that the voice ahead seemed somewhat similar to that of the brat.

"Gulp!"

After swallowing hard, Sage Dragon slowly raised his head to check the situation. A touch of crimson appeared first, followed by a face so striking it would be unrecognizable even if the face were reduced to ashes.

"Uncle Sage Dragon, is there something important you need to take care of? Can you tell us about it?"

Upon hearing Sordil's question and seeing the awkward yet polite smile on the other's face, Sage Dragon suddenly fainted, and then a row of dominoes made of dragons lay down.

On a mountain peak north of Dragunov

"Uncle Igneel, we can't keep searching blindly like this!"

"Anna is right, we need to try a different approach, otherwise we might never find this Zeref! (Vyseria)"

"I know that searching like this isn't a solution, but if we don't search this way, how else can we search?" (Igneel)

"Anna, have you thought of a way yet? (Grandiere)"

"Hehe! Nothing can be hidden from your teacher's wife. That's right, I already have a plan. Although the chances of success are slim, it's still much better than searching around aimlessly like this. (Anna)"

"Haha! No wonder he's the student Sordil chose; he's just as intelligent as Igneel."

"Your Majesty, Lord Fire Dragon King, could you please let Anna finish explaining her plan?" (Metalicana)

Faced with his old rival's attempt to ostracize him, Igneel snorted coldly and then turned his head in another direction. Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Anna quickly spoke up to defuse the tension.

"Actually, my plan is very simple. Since the teacher said that Uncle Zeref entered Ishgar from a port town in the Principality of Babaronza, let's go there first and search to see if there are any clues. (Anna)"

"Hmm... this method is a bit troublesome, but it's currently the most effective one. (Grandiere)"

"In that case, let's set off for the port town now!" (Skiadrum)

"Good! (Metalicana, Igneel, Vyseria)"
