Fairy Tail: Marrying the Dragon Slayer Queen Irene at the Beginning

Chapter 92: Seven years in a flash! Ian's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the 'Shield' level!
A few days later.

"Ah~"

"Finally I've arrived at this place, the place I've always dreamed of, next to the azure sea..."

"But it's a brand new city, and Gildarts won't bother us anymore~"

Cornelia, wearing a white dress, stood under the scorching sun, looking at the sunny and peaceful new city in front of her with a happy expression.

However, this smile was only fleeting!
After leaving Gildarts, the first enemy Cornelia faced was to find a good job and support herself and her unborn child!

"Look! Gildarts..."

"Even if I leave you, I can still live well."

Cornelia gritted her teeth, her eyes determined.

Cornelia didn't believe it...

It is impossible to give birth to a child and raise it well by yourself.

So, in the following week, Cornelia was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, moving around in countless jobs.

"Hey! Can't you even wash the dishes properly?!"

"If you break plates again, get out!"

"Our shop is small and we can't afford to hire a lady like you!!"

The first job Cornelia chose was as a dishwasher in a restaurant.

Unfortunately, Cornelia's pair of fair hands, which had never been touched by water, had never washed dishes. It was the first time she discovered that washing dishes was so troublesome. Eventually, she was fired by the store manager because she broke more than a dozen ceramic bowls in a row.

"Huh?! You're the only one who wants to be a craftsman?!"

"Hahaha! Stop joking..."

"Can a young lady like you hold tools?"

"You should go home to find your parents!"

"By the way, let me ask the master and the lady a question~"

"If you need me, you can always call me to work..."

Cornelia's second choice of job was carpenter, but she was rejected by the head craftsman during the interview and was criticized by the carpenters...

Of course, seeing Cornelia's expensive clothes, the carpenters did not dare to go too far. In such a chaotic world, "eyesight" is an important ability for workers to gain a foothold in this world.

"The courier is full..."

"By the way, apart from express delivery, if you want to find a job like delivering things in this city, the first hard requirement is that you can flexibly use the magic four-wheel drive vehicle."

After the courier team under the Magic Council discovered that Cornelia had no idea how to operate the magic 4WD, they found an excuse and carefully rejected Cornelia. Their attitude was exceptionally good, and they didn't even tease Cornelia.

The couriers under the Council, who were all over Ishgar, had even better eyesight. They could tell that the clothes Cornelia was wearing were not only expensive, but also a magical item that could protect her...

This is not something you can get just by having money.

So, Cornelia was eliminated again.

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny...

After Cornelia really left Gildarts, she found that this world was completely different from what she had imagined. This world was very cruel and no one would give in to her.

At the same time, Cornelia also discovered that she really couldn't do anything well by herself.

“Is it so hard to find a job?!”

"But I will never give up..."

"Gildarts, just watch carefully! I will never admit defeat."

Cornelia sat in the rental house, thinking constantly.

In fact, when Gildarts learned that Cornelia decided to leave him and that it was irreversible, for the sake of Cornelia's future life, he gave Cornelia a large sum of money, which was most of Gildarts' income over the years.

This amount of money was enough for Cornelia to live well in any city in the Kingdom of Fiore. After all, the savings of a Saint Ten-level warrior were still considerable!
Although this 'Saint Ten' level strongman was a little unreliable and had a lot of debts.

But Cornelia had no intention of using the money Gildarts gave her.

Either she was competing with Gildarts, or she had a strong sense of self-esteem, she wanted to establish herself in this small town with her own hands.

As for the money Gildarts gave her, she would give it all to the child after she and Gildarts' child came of age...

And he said to the child, "Look, these are the inheritances left to you by your father, who was always out of tune and died of excessive drinking in his early years."

"It hurts! It hurts!"

Just as Cornelia clenched her fists...

The moment to decide to fight Gildarts to the end.

A certain scumbag king was lying on the hospital bed, howling non-stop.

"Of course! If I had the love of the nurses, I wouldn't feel any pain~"

The scum king had no awareness that he was about to become a father for the first time. He looked at the beautiful and well-built nurses who were constantly walking around in the ward and spoke with a smile.

"Bah! You have comminuted fractures all over your body, and you still don't behave yourself..."

In response, the scumbag king was met with contempt from the nurses.

Gildarts' reputation in the entire Magnolia town was completely ruined. Even if he wanted to be a scumbag, no one would give him any chance...

Now the adults in Magnolia are telling their daughters: "Beware of fire! Beware of theft! Beware of Gildarts!"

"Ugh……"

"I wonder how Cornelia is doing now?!"

"Wow! I missed you so much..."

The scum king Gildarts looked up at the sky, his eyes full of longing for his wife, Cornelia. But Gildarts' eyes kept glancing at the little girl beside him.

Well, this guy is really hopeless...

On the other hand, Cornelia was running around the city, looking for a job.

"Sorry, you're not qualified for this job!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't offer you this job..."

"Beauty! Do you want to be a girl in our shop?"

"Your appearance really suits you!"

"Many bosses like this kind of you!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not capable of doing your job."

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Cornelia went all over the town and visited every job posting, but she couldn't find any job that would allow her to stay.

As for those jobs that came to her on their own initiative, without exception, they all required the use of her beauty, which, in Cornelia's opinion, was something that a lady like her was completely incapable of doing.

Not to mention those jobs that require prostitution, even simply being a hostess is a serious problem for Cornelia...

She was not interested in alcohol at all and couldn't drink it at all!
Besides, she is pregnant now, how can she drink alcohol? !

"A whole month has passed."

"But I am still stuck in the stage of renting a house and can't extricate myself!"

"What should I do?!"

Under the successive blows, Cornelia no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. She seemed a little anxious. In the empty room, she kept grabbing her long brown hair, howling one after another, with a look of despair on her face.

"Woooo..."

Just when Cornelia was anxious and at a loss, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.

This made Cornelia's face change slightly, and she made up her mind again.

"I will never admit defeat."

"Even for my child..."

Cornelia stood up, went to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, then cheered herself up and set off again.

As the saying goes, a mother must be strong!

Cornelia just couldn't believe that she couldn't find a suitable job.

the other side.

After lying in the hospital for a month, Gildarts finally recovered. After his injuries were healed, he immediately embarked on a journey to find Cornelia.

Although it was impossible to find a person in the Fiore Kingdom, which was as big as Australia, Gildarts would never give up...

At the same time, Gildarts was cautious. Cornelia did not have much cash on her. As long as Cornelia used the magic bank card he left behind, he would be able to locate Cornelia from the Council's bank.

"Don't worry, Cornelia. I'm coming to find you~"

Gildarts was in a very good mood, not only because his strength was much better than before, he had finally reached the level of "king"! More importantly, after he was beaten up by Ian, he finally figured it out, he wanted to get his woman back.

After this, three months passed.

Gildarts didn't find any trace of Cornelia. He sat at the deep end of the bar of the Fairy Tail Guild drinking with a look of despair, muttering to himself, "Impossible! I've been to all the cities that Cornelia told me she wanted to travel with me! How is it possible that I didn't find any trace of Cornelia?! Even if I didn't find Cornelia, she should have spent all her money in three months. How could she not use my card? What's going on? This is too abnormal, it shouldn't be like this?!"

"Hey! Gildarts, cheer up!"

Makarov looked at Gildarts who looked desperate and spoke helplessly.

"President! Did I really do something wrong?"

Gildarts looked at Makarov and kept asking.

"I think even if Cornelia was here, she wouldn't want to see you so depressed, right?"

Makarov glared at Gildarts and spoke angrily.

"You are right! I must pull myself together..."

After Gildarts finished drinking the wine in the cup, he accepted a few carefully selected S-level missions and set out again. Well, if he didn't go on missions again, he would not be able to pay off his debts and would not be able to survive in Magnolia.

the other side.

"call……"

"Today's work is finally over."

Cornelia gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and changed out of her work clothes.

With Cornelia's unremitting efforts, perhaps hard work pays off, or perhaps for some other reason, she finally found a job as a flower arranger in the town.

Although the salary is not very high...

But it was enough for her to survive in this town alone.

"Woooo..."

However, as time goes by...

The pain in Cornelia's lower abdomen became more and more obvious. She could feel that a small life was growing in her belly.

"I'm fine being alone now!"

"But after the baby is born, the money needed will increase exponentially. What should I do then?!"

Cornelia fell into deep thought. It seemed to her that this flower arranging job was not a long-term solution. "If it doesn't work out, I can only find another part-time job..."

"But if I want to train this child well, I need more money."

"If one part-time job doesn't work, then find two part-time jobs!"

"I, Cornelia, have never been inferior to anyone in my life."

I have to say, Cornelia is really a very strong woman.

Of course, if Cornelia wasn't strong, she wouldn't have been able to raise Cana in the original novel by herself, until her body was exhausted and she collapsed completely...

Just when Cornelia held her head high with determination in her eyes, and decided to fight to the end for her beliefs, a hoarse voice suddenly came into her ears: "Miss, I have a job here, would you like to consider it?!"

"Sorry! I already found a job..."

Cornelia heard this, with a hint of anger between her eyebrows. She didn't even bother to raise her head and rejected the other party. It seemed that in Cornelia's opinion, any job that would take the initiative to find her was not a good job! In this world, there will never be such a thing as pie in the sky.

"Really? That's really a pity..."

"It seems that my job as a librarian with a monthly salary of 150,000 J will have to be handed over to someone else."

Hearing this, the man sighed helplessly, turned around silently, and pretended to leave.

"Sorry, old man, I was too abrupt just now!"

"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Cornelia Arupelona, ​​and I am 23 years old! My greatest hobby in my life is reading..."

"Please be sure to give me this librarian job."

Cornelia, who was originally planning to leave, quickly came to the hoarse-voiced, old-faced "old man" and spoke excitedly.

“Hehe…” Hearing this, the old man smiled softly, and like an NPC issuing a task, he gave the job to Cornelia, who looked very similar to Cana: “Since you like reading so much, I will give you this librarian job. Report to the largest library in town tomorrow! Do your best, I have high hopes for you!”

"Got it! Just leave it to me!"

Cornelia looked at the old man walking away and bowed deeply.

"Next..."

"That's about right."

The old man slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had finally assigned the work to Cornelia.

Well, this old man who showed up in time was none other than Ian...

In fact, it has been three months since Ian came to the town where Cornelia is. During this period, he has been secretly protecting Cornelia's safety...

At the same time, Ian also checked Cornelia's body. He found that except for some deficiency of qi and blood, Cornelia was in good condition in other aspects.

In the original book, the reason why Cornelia died young was most likely due to her inner depression and fatigue.

After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, it is not easy for a beautiful young woman to raise a child, let alone raise a child well? !
To this end, Ian spent three months building the largest library in the town...

He disguised himself as an old man and, by chance, gave Cornelia an easy job that did not require any energy.

Well, Ian thought that he had done it perfectly and Cornelia couldn't find any loopholes.

"The next days will be the days of seclusion."

Ian left behind a thought body to pay Cornelia's salary on time, and his real body had already arrived in the forest outside the town...

Next, there was only one thing Ian had to do...

That is to go all out to sprint to the realm of the 'Twelve Holy Shields'!

Yes, Ian needs to stabilize his normal state at the level of 'Twelve Shields'.

In this way, when Ian activates the Dragon Power mode, he will gain a powerful force that surpasses the 'Twelve Shields'!

Of course, there is still a huge gap to the realm of "Protector of the Saint".

As we all know, among the so-called twelve shields of the Holy Spirit.

'Scarlet Despair' Irene Belserion and 'Magic King' Auguste were in charge of protecting the Saint, while the remaining ten were in charge of squatting in front as shields.

Well, the other twelve shields are really far behind Irene and Ogust. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the gap between ants and humans.

If I had to give a reference number...

In the Hundred Years Mission, the Dragon Devourer Guild's Black Dragon Slayer Regiment was roughly on the same level as the Twelve Holy Shields in terms of strength and magic power...

Among them, the White Tiger Dragon was defeated by Wendy under the guidance of Irene, and the gap between Wendy and Irene at that time was more than a hundred times.

As for the Dragon Slayer Mage who had already become irreversibly half-dragon and had unleashed his full dragon power, he was killed in seconds by Irene using Wendy's magic.

What Ian needs to do is to narrow the gap between him, Irene and Selene. He wants to regain his status as a husband! He wants to show his masculinity!

Well, I won’t say any more. It will only bring tears if I say too much.

Ever since.

time flies……

Seven years passed in a flash.

The time came to the year X772.

Ian, who is in seclusion, has reached a critical moment...

He has already stepped half a foot into the level of the 'Twelve Holy Shields'.

Just when Ian was about to raise his magic power to the 'shield level' in one go, his thought body suddenly issued a warning.

"Warning! Warning!"

"Cornelia's life signs are detected to be low..."

"Please come and observe immediately."

With one noise after another, Ian became fed up with it and had to come out of his retreat and go to his own library.

"what happened?"

Ian came to the library wearing a clown mask and asked the old book man he created using thought magic and personality magic.

Yes, in order to prevent himself from being distracted when sprinting for the 'Shield Level', Ian cancelled the memory and perspective sharing between himself and the thought body. He completely handed Cornelia over to the care of this thought body, which was at the level of an S-level magician in an ordinary guild.

"The body..."

"See for yourself!"

The old librarian seemed to be a little depressed, and he shared his memories with Ian.

In an instant, countless images flashed before Ian's eyes.

original……

Ian's thought body, after recruiting Cornelia into the library.

In order to justify this high-paying job, Cornelia quit her original job and devoted herself to managing the library for Ian. Not only did she memorize the name of every book in the library, she also numbered and illustrated these books to make it easier for people entering the library to buy and read them.

With Cornelia's hard work, the library was managed better and better and became busier and busier, but eventually Cornelia collapsed.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Ian is about to collapse. Cornelia is indeed worthy of this library, but is she worthy of Ian who traveled through time to save her? !

If Cornelia died again, wouldn't Ian's trip be in vain? You know, the system simulation is irreversible!
"let me see……"

Furious, Ian went straight into Cornelia's recuperation room.

At this moment, in this room full of sunflowers, Cornelia weakly pulled Cana, who was already six or seven years old and dressed like a doll, by her little hand and whispered, "Go to the Fairy Tail Guild, your father is there! His name is Gildarts."

After seven years, Cornelia no longer hated Gildarts. Instead, she began to understand why Gildarts always abandoned her at critical moments!

Things like work and making money are really not easy.

After Cornelia finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was about to return to her hometown.

"Mother!"

Little Kana's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't accept that her mother, who had everything good in the world, died like this.

“Don’t die!”

Before little Kana could think more...

Ian had already turned into a shadow, and in an instant he rushed to Cornelia, who was already in a daze and about to die at any time, and shouted loudly: "Additional energy! Additional physical strength! Additional vitality!"

"Hmm~"

Following Ian's additional three shots, Cornelia, who had fainted, suddenly let out a moan. She felt as if she had a last burst of energy and her body was full of vitality.

"What am I doing?!"

Cornelia looked puzzled. She clearly felt that her time was coming to an end, so how come everything was alright? !
"Let me see what disease you have?!"

"I see. No wonder you collapsed. It's stomach cancer..."

“Although the gastrointestinal tumor has reached the advanced stage, I can still treat it!”

"After all, this is a magical world~"

Ian used the medical knowledge he gained from Polysica to diagnose Cornelia's illness in less than half an hour.

In response, Ian used a high-level separation magic: "Separation Tumor!"

In just a few seconds, Ian killed all the tumor cells in Cornelia's body.

"My mother is dead..."

“…Mother is alive!”

Kana was stunned.

Although little Kana couldn't understand it, she was greatly shocked!

"As you can see, I'm a doctor..."

"So Cornelia, do you want to become a magician?"

"Do you want to become a slag-killing mage?!"

Ian picked up a chair, sat in the ward, and asked Cornelia.

"Eh?!"

Cornelia was also shocked, so what was the connection between Ian saying he was a doctor and asking her if she wanted to become a magician?!
"So, you may not understand..."

"Anyway, do you want to ride Gildarts?!"

Ian looked at Cornelia who was in a daze and asked a different question.

"Please let me become a magician."

Cornelia didn't understand what Ian said.

But when it comes to the method of riding Gildarts, she reacts instantly and speaks seriously.

"I'll help you!"

Ian smiled with relief.
