On the 15th day, the other party arrived riding a fiery red griffin.
"Level 55 Legendary Monster, Flaming Griffin!"
Linda politely invited the old man to the villa.
In the living room, he was holding Haiby, and on the sofa opposite him sat the ancient historian named Angus.
The man had white hair, wore an elegant scholar's robe and black-rimmed glasses, and exuded a strong scholarly aura.
Angus took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the sarcophagus brought out from the ancient city of Iavis. He glanced at Haibi every now and then, muttering something to himself, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Linda was a little nervous.
"well"
"Sir, could it be that Hai is more beautiful than her?"
"It's nothing, I just feel tightness in my chest."
“.”
Linda felt relieved.
A moment later, Angus sat back on the sofa, took a sip of water, and muttered to himself, "Everything matches up, except for one thing."
"What?"
"Logically speaking, she should have a gold lock around her neck."
You mean this?
Linda took out a crescent-shaped gold lock from her spatial ring.
"Yes, that's it!" Angus slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.
"What do you mean? Stop beating around the bush."
"Hehe, don't rush, Captain Linda, I must congratulate you in advance, you're quite the ladies' man."
Angus laughed heartily, his eyes turning playful as he looked at Haiby.
"Da da!" Haibi puffed out his cheeks, and a golden palm light appeared in the air.
Linda quickly stopped her and gave Haibi a lollipop, which finally calmed her down.
Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Linda asked solemnly, "Sir, what exactly is Haibi's background?"
"Hehehe, Captain Linda, do you know what this golden lock is?" Angus asked instead of answering.
Linda was speechless. If I knew, what would I need you for?
Inviting Angus to White Dove City wasn't free; it cost him a full ten thousand purple gold coins. This also indirectly shows that Anna's status in the family isn't very high.
"Captain Linda, please don't panic. It's just that this old man is terrified because it's the first time I've ever seen Princess Avis in person."
Angus clicked his tongue in amazement: "The Secret Realm is truly a magical place, allowing people from thousands of years ago to appear in the present day."
"Princess Iavis?"
Linda raised an eyebrow.
“That’s right. The gold lock around Miss Haibi’s neck is called the ‘Lock of Destiny’.”
Thousands of years ago in the Avis dynasty, only the bravest snake-woman warriors could obtain the key from her mother and unlock this lock.
The one who unlocks the lock will become Princess Avis's destined lover. This lock is one of the greatest magical creations of the Kingdom of Avis, allowing the strongest warrior to unite with a royal descendant, ensuring the eternal prosperity of the royal family.
Furthermore, the golden lock can suppress the lustful nature of snake people, and it only affects their destined partner.
Angus said with a half-smile, "Captain Linda, if you don't have an Oathbearer, you could consider Miss Haiby."
"this"
Linda was stunned.
He took out the Iavis badge from his pocket.
After the golden lock around Haibi's neck was removed, its magic completely disappeared, turning it into broken stones.
Now it seems that the Yavis emblem is the key to unlocking the lock of destiny!
That's why Haibi is unusually affectionate towards herself, slapping others with her golden palm but not herself.
All of this is because I am a "destined person".
“No, I think that in Haibi’s eyes, I’m more like her mother than her ‘destined person’? It’s a kind of familial dependence.”
Angus chuckled: "That's because Miss Haibi is still young. She will only develop feelings for you after she has molted three times and become a young girl."
You'll be in for a rough time then.
Ordinary people simply cannot withstand the 'death grip' of the snake people; this race is extremely insane in order to produce superior offspring.
According to ancient records, during their mature stage, they spend 20 out of 24 hours a day...
Ahem, you know what I mean.
"Huh? This is just too incredible."
Linda looked down at Haibi, the little guy blinking innocently, snuggling in his arms like a pure little elf.
"I think Haibi will grow up to be a reserved, polite, and well-behaved child."
"No, no, no, that's just because Miss Haibi hasn't shed her skin yet."
Have you ever seen an adventurer who has a treasure chest right in front of them but doesn't want to open it?
Every year, far more adventurers are eaten by mimics than are killed by carriages.
When instinct kicks in, reason cannot suppress it.
Angus observed Haibi with great interest and said, "But your case is rather special. I have never seen a precedent in ancient books of a foreigner opening a golden lock."
Miss Haibi's dependence on you is extraordinary. Theoretically, she is still too young to understand, and the effects of the Destiny Lock will not take effect until she molts once.
The only explanation is that even without the Chains of Fate, you are Miss Haibi's destined one.
"I see."
Linda believed Angus's explanation. Since arriving in this other world, he had always been quite popular with beautiful girls, so it was only natural that he was liked by a young snake-person girl.
At this moment, Angus changed the subject and said seriously, "The Yavis snake people molt three times before reaching adulthood, and each molt is extremely difficult, especially the last one, which can be described as a near-death experience. In Miss Haibi's current state, without anyone to teach her, she will definitely die during the last molt."
"What should we do then?" Linda's heart sank.
