Chapter 85

"Everyone... things don't seem as simple as we imagined."

August furrowed his brows tightly and looked at Irene.

"What do you mean, Irene?"

"Haven't you noticed? Everything broadcast on the screen is completely incompatible with the world we know," Irene said in a deep voice.

August: "It is precisely because of this that we are so confused."

"Dragon swarm? In my impression, there is no such thing on the Western Continent at all, right?"

Irene took a deep breath: "I have a bold guess, but I need more information to refine it."

【"At first, because of our geographical location, our kingdom was considered peaceful."】

【"Furthermore, under the leadership of our wise Queen, we even took the initiative to support other countries, repelling wave after wave of invasions by the evil dragon swarm."】

【"However, for some unknown reason, gradually, we began to be outmatched and started retreating to defend the kingdom."】

【"The strength of the evil dragons also grew stronger and stronger, even reaching the borders of our kingdom."】

【"Not long ago, news came from the capital that we were defeated in the frontal battle, and even the Guardian Beast was seriously injured. Thus, the evil dragon swarm easily entered the kingdom."】

【"According to estimates, they will arrive here around today, so the kingdom arranged transportation to help us relocate, just as you saw earlier."】

【Guardian Beast?】

【Natsu, who was very unfamiliar with this term, couldn't help but ask.】

【"Uh... it's said to be a pure white giant dragon, but I haven't seen it specifically, so I don't know."】

"Giant dragon... Guardian Beast?"

Within the Alvarez Empire, Irene's expression kept changing.

This series of familiar terms brought the incredible idea in Irene's mind closer and closer.

【"Is it like Igneel, a dragon that loves peace and humans?"】

【Natsu murmured softly.】

【Seeming to have thought of something, Natsu raised his head again and asked.】

【"By the way, I keep hearing you talk about the kingdom and such. I'd like to ask, which kingdom does this place belong to?"】

Here it comes!

Countless people pricked up their ears the moment they heard Natsu's question.

All the unreasonable factors on the Sky Screen,

if the specific place name were known,

perhaps it could be completely resolved.

It might even be possible to go for a field investigation to find the existence of dragons.

【Upon hearing that Natsu didn't even know the name of the place, the woman looked at Natsu suspiciously.】

【However, thinking that Natsu had just helped her, she still spoke up.】

【"We are in the 'Dragnof' Kingdom, located in the east of the Ishgar continent, and the great Queen's name is Irene."】

【Irene Belserion!】

Inside the Alvarez Empire conference room.

Countless Spriggan 12 members stood up in unison.

Their shocked gazes looked toward Irene, who was sitting in the front.

At this moment, even Irene widened her eyes in confusion.

She murmured in disbelief:

"Eh??"

"The one just mentioned... was me???" ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
