Chapter 68: Reappearance After Ten Thousand Years

  "Hey, hey, I'm telling you, how can you treat the old man like that? Just drink your wine." The old man immediately stopped and wanted to grab it back.

  "You old rascal, I asked you to come and help me with my troubles, but now you're drinking with my arch-nemesis!" Ophelia was furious, her eyebrows inverted in anger, and she felt like giving the old man a good thrashing.

  The old man, however, seemed to have no awareness at all, and chuckled: "My little Ophelia, am I not helping you solve the problem now? These things can't be done with force. I've lived for so many years, and my experience is still richer than yours. I know how to handle it. Hey, I'm telling you, young man, you actually dared to pour out the wine? Just wait and see what happens to you."

  The old man looked at Xiao Yuning and saw that he would rather pour out the wine than give it to him, so he immediately became anxious.

  Xiao Yu glared fiercely at Ophelia, saying: "What did you call me? Dare to call me arch-nemesis? I'm your master, don't you know? Believe it or not, I'll kill you with a needle."

  Xiao Yu made a gesture and pressed it on his wrist again.

  Ou Xilia heard this and got furious, she was being intimidated by Xiao Yu at that time, and immediately shouted: "You dare to, if you have the ability, kill me."

  Seeing Ossilia so fearless, Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that this old man was with Ossilia.

  The old man knew what this thing was, and naturally he knew that his previous words were just bluffing. Now he definitely couldn't bluff the other party anymore. He really didn't know how to use this slave circle after all.

  Ou Xilia suddenly blew up, Xiao Yu really didn't know what to do.

  At this time, the old man spoke up and said: "I say to you two, sit down and have a good talk, I've already thought of a solution for your problem."

  "What's going on?"

  The old man smiled and drank Xiao Yu's wine, saying: "What method? Of course it's a good method. Come on, sit down first."

  Looking at this old man's deceitful appearance, Xiao Yu and Ophelia cursed in unison, saying: "Damn old man."

  The old man suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I meant well, but you don't appreciate it. Never mind, you can deal with this circle yourselves."

  Upon hearing the old man say this, Xiao Yu and Ophelia sat down, with Xiao Yu asking: "Don't you also have no way to remove this circle?"

  The old man curled his lips and said, "I have no way to get rid of this circle, but I can find a way for you two to get along peacefully. As long as your relationship is good, whether the circle exists or not is not a big problem."

  "That scoundrel of an old man, he dares to enslave me like this, and you still want me to get along with him?" Ophelia suddenly became anxious again.

  The old man motioned to Ophelia not to be agitated, and chuckled: "My little Ophelia, actually, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for you."

  Oscillia furrowed her brow and said, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

  The old man smiled and looked at Xiao Yu, saying: "Of course it's a good opportunity. Haven't you always liked adventure since you were young? Want to go after those ancient legends? Now there is an opportunity, as long as you follow him, you can pursue all these legends and learn the true secrets of the ancients."

  Oscillia heard the old man say this and suddenly became furious, saying: "You're talking nonsense, you want me to be his servant?"

  Xiao Yu listened to the old man's words, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, thinking: "This old man is not simple, how did he know I would go after the ancient legend? Because of Tailande and Sa'er's relationship, I must investigate what kind of world this is, how many elves and beasts are left, and I must save them. Moreover, with Tailande and Sa'er by my side, it will be easier to pursue, does this old man know something?"

  The old man looked at Ophelia and comforted her with a smile: "My little Ophelia, following him doesn't necessarily mean you have to be his servant. I came this time to discuss this matter with him and find a win-win solution."

  "What's so good about it? He puts this slave collar on me, what's the good of that?" Ophelia glared at Xiao Yu.

  The old man chuckled and said: "My little Ophelia, I'll persuade him for you. I'm sure he won't use the slave circle on you again."

  The old man looked at Xiao Yu and smiled, saying: "Young man, I can see that you are not a bad person by nature, nor do you really want to enslave Ophelia. However, things have already reached this point, and the two of your fates are now tied together. I am currently unable to break this slave circle, and there is no one else in this world who can remove it either. But I know that in the future, there will be someone who can break it. The question is, when that time comes, will you be willing to give Ophelia her freedom back?"

  Xiao Yu looked at Ophelia and curled her lips, saying: "In three years she'll be an old hag, what do I want with her? Taking her out would be embarrassing."

  "What did you say?" Osilia burst into anger suddenly.

  The old man comforted Ophelia and Xiao Yu, saying: "Do you still want to unlock this slave circle?"

  Ou Xier and Xiao Yu said together: "Think."

  Oscillia naturally wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, and Xiao Yu didn't want to carry this thing for his whole life either. Although having a female slave was quite enjoyable, at the same time it was also a kind of restraint on himself. He didn't like things that were not under his control.

  The old man smiled and said: "That's right, so you two agree with me on one thing, I guarantee that when the time comes, you will definitely be able to untie this knot."

  Oscillia frowned and said: "You old rascal, what do you want me to agree to?"

  The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Ophelia, saying: "My little Ophelia, I want you to promise that in the next three years, you will be with him and help him fight together. This is my request. Three years later, you can definitely get the freedom you want."

  "What? Three years with him? And help him fight?" Ossilia was instantly unwilling.

  The old man comforted Ophelia, his expression serious: "Ophelia, you've grown up so much, I've done so many things for you, have I ever harmed you? You're like my own granddaughter, everything I do is for your sake. This matter is no exception, if you don't stay with him and refuse to fight alongside him, this collar will never be removed. Being with him might not be a bad thing."

  Oscillia fell silent as soon as the old man said that, she also knew that the old man wouldn't harm her, but letting her and Xiao Yu be together for three years, and then helping Xiao Yu for another three years, really made her grit her teeth in hatred.

  The old man looked at Ophelia without speaking, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yu and said: "Young man, I can let Ophelia help you for three years. At the same time, I can promise you that in my lifetime, I will do one thing for you as a reward. However, you also have to agree to one condition."

  Xiao Yu listened to the old man saying this and felt that he was not simple, so she immediately asked: "What is it?"

  The old man looked at Ophelia again, then turned back to Xiao Yu and said: "You are not allowed to use the power of the slave circle to do things that Ophelia is unwilling to do. You can use it to restrain her at certain moments, but you must not go too far. I believe you can do it."

  Xiao Yu listened to the old man's words, thought for a moment, and felt that this matter didn't seem to have any disadvantages for himself. He could have an assassin as a bodyguard, and also have a slave contract binding Osilia, which meant that as long as he didn't take liberties with Osilia, everything would be fine.

  "Right away," said Xiao Yu Dao, "No problem, I am a noble aristocrat, a duke, how could I possibly do anything excessive?"

  Oscillia suddenly felt a wave of anger, who was it that was lying there gazing at her with a dazed expression, and even more so, a noble aristocrat?

  The old man nodded in satisfaction, saying: "That's good, as far as I know, in the ancient era, the greatest magician was the leader of the ancient magic organization 'Kenreito', Antonidas. As long as you can find him, you can lift this collar restriction."

  Xiao Yu heard this sentence, and the mouthful of red wine she had just swallowed sprayed directly out.

  "What the, Anthony Das, now Old An is right next to me, can he really remove the collar?" Xiao Yu felt that what this old man said was a bit nonsensical, but at the same time, he was also shocked. How did this old man know that Anthony Das was with him? Did this old man really have some special ability?

  Oscillia heard this and said in a bad tone: "Old man, what nonsense are you talking about? A figure from 10,000 years ago is long dead, not even ashes remain, how can he be found?"

  The old man put away his usual playful and irreverent attitude, speaking with a serious tone: "In ten thousand years, the cycle of time will repeat itself, the universe will change, everything will reenact. Little Ophelia, you've always wanted to find the secrets of the ancient times, haven't you? This is a great opportunity for you to directly face the greatest magician of all time, Antonidas."

  Orcilia looked at the old man who didn't seem to be joking and frowned: "The legends you told me, will they really reappear?"

  The old man looked at Ophelia seriously and said slowly: "Not only can you, but you will also participate in it personally. This is your destiny, Ophelia."
