Chapter 87: 086 Knowing the Future 1

“What, don’t recognize me after a night’s sleep?”
The mature, queen-like, silver-haired elf chuckled as she slowly approached Otto.
As she got closer, Otto began to scrutinize her carefully.
This elf had silver hair and red pupils similar to Sofia’s, and wore an exquisitely tailored, dark red, off-the-shoulder dress, which accentuated her enchanting figure beyond words.
Atop her head was an exquisite black jade crown adorned with several top-quality red magic gems.
It seemed that magical power had been infused into it, making it twinkle faintly with starlight in the night.
On her delicate and tender white neck hung a beautiful necklace.
A few slender silver threads were piled on top of one another, making a red crystal diamond float above a large alluring and mysterious area, which was eye-catching.
In the silver-haired elf’s hand was a wand Otto was familiar with, but the mysterious and gloomy design of the Soul Eater Wand added a dangerous sense of mystery to her.
Though her appearance and voice might have changed significantly, Otto was absolutely certain about this familiar feeling.
“Sofia!”
With a touch of surprise, Otto asked, “How did you turn into this?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, it suddenly occurred to Otto that he might have slept for decades this time?
Had the little girl, who was originally in a lengthy preservation period, turned directly into an older sister character?
For a moment, Otto felt somewhat unable to accept it, as if the entire dragon had turned to stone.
Yet at the same time, he also felt it was rather nice…
Strangely, a phrase Otto had once heard surfaced in his mind: men do love darkness!
And another: cuteness is worth nothing in front of sexiness…
But thinking about how Sofia had survived in the monster-filled Nolan Forest for so many years and developed the Land of the Soaring Dragon to this extent…
Just thinking about it made his soul tremble with guilt.
“You don’t seem to be completely muddleheaded from your sleep…”
Sofia, who had changed drastically from Otto’s memory, had already walked up to him.
With a resentful expression, she tenderly stroked the scales on Otto’s chin and murmured, “You’ve been asleep for twenty years. Do you know how I’ve made it through these years?”
“T…twenty years?”
Otto’s massive body shuddered and he promptly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know…”
But before he could finish apologizing, he noticed Sofia was covering her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.
“Could it be that…”
Sensing something wrong, Otto looked around and quickly dragged a familiar face over.
Mega Fatty, who had just arrived and was watching the lively scene, showed an innocent face.
Having retired from his position as a riding ogre after Sofia learned the Flight Skill just two years ago, he was the reason why he didn’t come along with Sofia and showed un late.
With a ferocious expression, Otto confronted the innocently framed two-headed ogre and menacingly spoke in a low voice, “Tell me, how many years have I been asleep!”
This frightened Mega Fatty half to death, but he didn’t dare say anything, so he looked to his brother, who shared the same shoulder, for help.
Reluctantly accepting his new name was Second Fatty…
Yet Second Fatty turned his head, looking at their mistress Sofia with a hopeful gaze.
He couldn’t help it, for he was just an ordinary ogre…
“Pfft…”Sofia patted Otto’s scales with a smile, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, and laughed, “Stop teasing Mega Fatty and Second Fatty, you just slept for three years!”
“Just three years?”
Otto threw the relieved Two-headed Ogre aside, lowering his head, lost in thought.
Three years…
Although not as exaggerated as twenty years, it was still quite a long time.
For a dragon, three years might mean nothing, just a fleeting moment.
But for most creatures, it’s quite a long time indeed.
Normally, a half-elf’s lifespan is almost the same as that of their father, although Sofia’s father’s race is still a mystery to this day.
However, looking at Sofia’s changes over three years, she doesn’t seem to belong to a long-lived race.
“I’m sorry…”
Unskilled at speaking, Otto could only express his guilt this way.
“No big deal!”
Sofia shook her head and said, “You just fell asleep, and whenever I missed you, I would come in to see you. Weren’t you always by my side?”
This touched Otto deeply, but he looked puzzled, “Then what about your current appearance…?”
“Haha, you finally noticed it?”
The Soul Eater Wand suddenly flew in front of Otto, and an evil-looking face appeared on the fist-size red gem that Otto was familiar with.
Moray pretended to cough a few times, then spoke quickly, “Allow the great Legendary Witch Demon Moray to honorably introduce to you a new spell jointly developed by Princess Sofia and me: Know Your Future, Temporary Growth Skill (name tentative) Version 3!”
“Temporary Growth Skill?”
Otto looked confused, and what was the deal with the name in brackets…
Soon, he understood what was happening.
Moray was circling around Sofia, who was silently reciting an incantation.
Immediately after, with a wave of magical fluctuations, a shrunken Sofia appeared before Otto’s eyes.
This was Sofia’s true appearance right now, and of course, after three years of growth, there were many changes.
First of all, Sofia’s stature had grown quite a bit, and judging by her height, she could no longer be called a little girl; “young lady” would be more appropriate.
Otto estimated that if her height were measured like a human’s, Sofia should be around 14 or 15 years old now.
The changes were quite significant, it seemed that the Sofia of three years ago might have been so small due to poor nutrition.
The way she dressed hadn’t changed much, as well as her figure and appearance, which were just a younger version of her previous “mature lady” form.
It seemed that they had temporarily turned Sofia into her future appearance through a newly developed spell.
So, was the purpose of developing this spell just to wait for him to wake up from his slumber and then give him a big scare?
Although Otto found it hard to believe, that seemed to be the case.
This young girl in front of him had grown up quite a bit and looked much more mature, but she was still so childish at times.
As Otto was thinking, Sofia covered her nose and said with disgust, “Ew, you stink! You haven’t taken a bath in three years…”
Otto nonchalantly tossed a whole roasted pig into his mouth.
It wasn’t his fault; he didn’t know he would sleep for so long.
But the next moment, Sofia grabbed the Soul Eater Wand and quickly chanted a spell at Otto..
