The Sphinx is not human after all. As a Sphinx who has been pursuing riddles and puzzles all his life, death itself is also a puzzle, so no Sphinx will reject death. So they can never understand humans' avoidance of death.
Death should be a riddle that needs to be solved, and the Sphinxes will face death calmly, because the answer to the big riddle of death can only be obtained by themselves.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Sphinxes, those who try to escape death are so-called "madmen", especially those in ancient Egypt who worshiped and feared the madmen among madmen.
Noah hasn't been able to realize this yet, but that doesn't stop him from listening to the Sphinx's words.
Although he has not seen the undead very often, he has also seen descriptions of the undead. The dangerous descriptions without exception allowed him to successfully classify these things as something that requires vigilance.
But it is a pity that the Sphinx does not know much about Shahos. He knows that the other party is a "madman" because he heard the owner of this tomb once said that the two people seemed to have some discord during their lifetime, so it has I have heard such curses. Of course, the main reason is that the Sphinx is not interested in disputes between wizards.
Noah didn't push too hard, and he didn't expect to know much detailed information from a magical creature. After dealing with unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, he already had a preliminary understanding of the temperaments of these magical animals, especially this kind. Their intelligence is not weaker than that of humans. They actually don't care what humans are like, they only care about what they are interested in. For this reason, they are also willing to exchange some "treasures" with other people, which can be called "self" to a certain extent.
So it's actually normal for a sphinx not to care about its "master".
After asking about the conditions of various passages in detail, Noah left the tomb. There was nothing here that he wanted, and the time he could explore was actually quite limited, so it was better to seize the time.
After turning on the detection magic, his exploration speed was undoubtedly the fastest, and he quickly found two tombs with stereotypes hidden in them. However, these two tombs were not well preserved, and the magical creatures stationed inside were also quite bad. Friendly, Noah had to deal with them directly, but the result was that the already dilapidated tomb became even more dilapidated, and even sand fell from above from time to time, making Noah subconsciously doubt whether the place would collapse.
Fortunately, this pyramid is not an ordinary pyramid. Although it seems that the sand occasionally sinks, it will not collapse easily.
When Noah came out of the third tomb, he directly encountered a familiar scarab.
The large golden scarab crawled out of the sand, tapping its two jaws lightly, not moving away or moving, just looking up at Noah with its tentacles.
This is for him.
Noah understood the meaning of the scarab without any knowledge, and walked out towards the scarab.
The scarab turned around and began to lead the way, leading him deeper.
…
Cooper took the hand of an Auror beside him and pulled him out of the small quicksand that suddenly appeared.
"Thank you." Auror was still frightened. Although it was just one foot, the sudden deep sinking feeling under his feet really shocked his tense nerves.
There are too many traps here, and if you are not careful, you may be swallowed by the surrounding sand or something else.
Each of them had been injured more or less along the way, and two Aurors had already been seriously injured and were placed in the first aid kit, which was a small box they carried with them to contain the injured and prisoners.
At this moment, they have only descended to the third floor. Because they are not interested in the so-called "treasures", their speed is relatively fast, but they can't get anywhere. There are too many hidden traps here. , they even encountered a seemingly friendly statue, but they were almost led into a fatal trap.
The statues here all tell lies...
Now that they had been exploring for six hours, the Aurors decided to find a safer place to rest.
The only safe thing here is the corridor between the tombs, but these are very few. Many of these tombs are not isolated individually, and there are not many passages for advancement. This means that if you want to pass through some tombs, you must take a few steps. Some drastic measures.
After advancing for some distance, they finally found a corridor. After placing multiple protective spells, everyone sat down on the reinforced floor.
It was more difficult than they imagined. Although they met some adventurous wizards on the way, most of them refused to go with the Aurors.
The Aurors must admit that the adventure wizards ahead are more professional than them in this regard. After all, the adventure wizards ahead of them have dismantled some traps and left some marks for them, otherwise they will be damaged along the way. It will only become more serious.
It's a bit embarrassing to say that they didn't find any traces of injuries on the adventurous wizards along the way. On the contrary, they who followed behind were even more embarrassed.
In fact, Aurors are more experienced in catching criminals or fighting wizards. This kind of exploration is really not what they are good at.
An Auror handed Cooper a fruit and a bottle of water: "Eat some first."
"Thank you." Cooper took the fruit and took a bite, feeling slightly relieved by the sweet taste in his mouth. "This place is really surprising."
Although it is a little dangerous, it is also unexpectedly charming. Because of the precipitation of time, everything here is filled with an ancient atmosphere, but it is also filled with the unique charm of ancient Egypt. It is ancient, gorgeous, sacred and dangerous. No wonder Madinette It will become a famous tourist city. This is probably the charm of ancient Egypt.
It's a pity that now is not the time to enjoy the scenery. Let's bring Noah over for fun later.
Cooper's thinking went astray, and he couldn't help but miss his wife and son.
I don’t know if Noah followed his wife obediently and left. His son is indeed a smart and well-behaved good boy, but sometimes he is too assertive. It is not impossible to convince his parents in turn.
But...his wife was so worried about Noah that she probably wouldn't let him get close to any danger.
What he needs to worry about most now seems to be himself.
Cooper glanced at the fruit in his hand. In order not to worry his wife, he should be more careful next time.
After resting for more than half an hour, the Aurors regrouped and headed downwards.
Even after searching the next three floors, they couldn't find anything wrong with what they had encountered before, but this was not necessarily good news. It meant that the other party was hiding and they needed to go deeper.
