Creatures like the Sphinx will not harm the wizard as long as they answer the questions correctly. They seem to like "smart" animals, are proficient in multiple animal languages, and can communicate with almost all animals. But the strange thing is that this creature does not They will not take the initiative to disclose this to the wizards. They seem to be smart and disdain to be a translator.
This kind of creature cannot be completely tamed, and it can only be reached with a certain agreement by solving its riddles to make them obey to a certain extent.
As for force... force is useless except to kill them.
Noah also has some experience in dealing with this kind of creature, such as asking a question before the other party can't answer it.
Many wizards will choose this method, especially the sphinxes who have been subdued to guard the tombs here. Most of them are stationed here for this reason.
Noah looked at the sphinx, which was obviously much larger, and wondered what was going on with this sphinx. Could it be that sphinxes were bigger thousands of years ago? Or is this a special breed?
While he was still thinking about it, the Sphinx finally finished moving its body and turned to look at him.
It jumped out of the range of the stone platform with a slight leap and landed in front of Noah. It lowered its head and got closer to Noah. The pair of eyes that were obviously different from humans looked at him, as if they were weighing something.
Keya noticed that the powerful aura was very close. He was already unhappy because he was impatient with the smell here. At this moment, he poked his head out of Noah's collar like a hair, and directly faced Si who came closer. Finks.
Noah raised his hand to hold it to avoid being accidentally hurt by the sphinx. He was about to push Keya back when the sphinx suddenly spoke.
"Snake," the Sphinx buzzed. There was a strange rhythm in its voice, and its inhuman characteristics were quite obvious. "Wizard, what is your name?"
"When did the Sphinx trial also require names to be reported?" Noah narrowed his eyes, but they were covered by illusions. The Sphinx could only vaguely detect the displeasure in his tone.
"The exception is the Beast Whisperer," the Sphinx continued, "You are a snake talker."
Noah didn't say anything, he just pushed Keya back forcefully and tightened his grip on the wand in his hand.
Isn't it just a magic spell that can solve the battle instantly? It's not like there isn't one.
While Noah was sifting through the magic, the Sphinx narrowed his eyes when he got no answer, and took a step back to distance himself as if sensing danger.
"Well, the old snake is still as annoying as ever." Sphinx directly identified Noah's identity, glanced at Keya who was unwilling to poke his head out from under Noah's cloak again, and said nothing more , directly cut to the point, "Wizard, are you here for the treasure here?"
Noah didn't expect that this guy suddenly changed the topic, and he agreed after considering it. He did come here for the contents of this tomb.
The Sphinx lay on the ground with two backs, in the standard posture of the Sphinx before asking a question: "Answer my question. If you answer it correctly, you can take away these things."
Noah still remained silent, but he covered the wand under the black robe again, obviously intending to solve the problem peacefully.
The Sphinx looked at him with a subtle expression, but still asked her own question: "I am the black son of a white father. I am a wingless bird that can fly straight up. The person who touched me when I was born They all cried, and once I am born, I will soon disappear into thin air.”
A very typical Western-style riddle, and quite simple. Noah came up with the answer without even thinking: "Smoke."
"Correct answer," Sphinx nodded, "very smart answer."
"Then, it's my turn next." Noah said unceremoniously, "Antarctica is my home. I'm not afraid of the cold. I waddle on my feet and love to eat small fish and shrimps."
Note that sphinxes are not omniscient, and their puzzles also need to be accumulated. The older the sphinxes, the more difficult the puzzles are, because they have wisdom accumulated over time. But the knowledge that the Sphinx has learned is also limited. To some extent, they are also limited by what they know in their lives, and they will only know what they can know.
It is true that this large sphinx is old enough, but it has also been sleeping for thousands of years, which means that he does not understand the mysteries of these thousands of years, and will not know anything that does not exist in its knowledge. Animals - Penguins in Antarctica.
Sphinx: "..."
"Cunning Snake." This sphinx seemed to have a bad impression of Snake. It opened its mouth and arms in Snake, but it didn't refute the fact that it didn't know the puzzle. .
"Okay, these treasures are yours." It happily gave up the stone steps behind it, indicating that Noah could look through these at will.
Noah nodded and walked around it towards the stone steps.
Sphinx is still very reputable, at least you don’t have to worry about these guys lying or cheating.
Noah tried to pull out a tablet. Due to time, these tablets drawn by sand and stone had become very fragile. He had to strengthen a spell before he could pick one up.
The Sphinx squatted next to him and looked down at his actions: "Do you all like this knowledge? Obviously other wizards prefer those magic items."
Although it has just woken up, it can still vaguely hear the movements in other tombs. It is not that he has not woken up at all over the years, but the times are very few, which shows that there are very few people who come here.
At this moment, it clearly heard the sounds outside, which were the sounds of wizards fighting against traps.
It can confirm that Noah has not touched those magic items, which means that he came straight here and came straight to these priceless knowledge.
So are all She Laoqiang such wizards?
Noah raised his head and glanced at it: "Have you ever seen Snake Laoqiang?"
"Of course," the Sphinx didn't pay attention to the subtle something wrong in his tone. It was probably because he hadn't communicated with living creatures for too long and could only sleep as one. This Sphinx was a bit lonely and finally saw a familiar feature. The wizard couldn't help but rambled, "That was more than a thousand years ago. A young snake-like man broke in directly and said he was looking for a magic spell."
"That is really a powerful guy, but also very unreasonable," the Sphinx said in a subtle tone. After all, it is really rare to throw spells directly at it as soon as it comes in. If the guardian magic here is not still running at that time, it is probably His mission ended immediately.
"That guy looks a lot like you," Sphinx smacked his lips, "I remember it was called, Slytherin?"
