Seeing the Nangdu Leopard, Bai Lin was even more sure of his suspicion. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and used the Shenfeng Wuying move. In the narrow corridor, the Nangdu Leopard couldn't dodge in time. Sure enough, after the wind blade passed by, the Nangdu Leopard Before he could spray out the poisonous mist, his head was cut off by the wind blade.
Bai Lin flew past the fallen body of the Nangdu Leopard without looking back. As soon as he passed by, vines stretched out and pulled the Nangdu Leopard's body back into the plant wall, as if nothing happened. .
His steps were as fast as the wind, and he vaguely felt that the Goblet of Fire was not far away from him. However, when he turned into a narrow straight road, a huge Sphinx blocked in front of him.
Bai Lin has seen sphinxes many times, including the two he conquered in King Unas's pyramid, and the one summoned by Qiqi. However, although it is called a sphinx, the one he has seen There are several of them, their faces can only be said to be somewhat human-like, and their bodies are not much larger than African lions. However, the one in front of them is obviously larger in size, with golden hair, long tail tufts, and thick The claws are surprisingly long and look very powerful, and it also has a face that looks very like a woman. This is an adult Sphinx, which is very rare.
This sphinx obviously has a certain degree of intelligence. Bai Lin looked at it very curiously, not sure whether it was an illusion created by the maze or a real magical animal. If it was real, Bai Lin was not very sure. Want to hurt it.
"You are very close to your goal, but you have to answer my riddle!" The Sphinx's voice was low and hoarse, which should be the one Harry met in the original work. "Guess it right the first time, I Just let you pass, and if you don’t guess correctly, I will pounce on you. If you don’t answer, I will let you go away and won’t hurt you!”
Bai Lin immediately laughed, thinking that for a beast like you, labor and management can hold you down on the ground and beat you, but he still respected the "normal part" of the game, nodded and said: "You go ahead!"
The Sphinx sat back and muttered:
First think about who always wears a mask,
His actions are secretive and he lies a lot.
Tell me again what things are always mended,
The middle of the middle, the tail of the tail?
Finally, when you told me that I couldn’t think of words,
Which voice is often blurted out.
Now connect them and answer me.
What's an animal you wouldn't kiss?
Bai Lin thought to himself: It's indeed the same, it's the one Harry met before, but what riddle is Harry facing now? Bai Lin was a little helpless. He could only hope that Harry would have the aura of the protagonist and not encounter any big trouble.

"Have you thought about it? I have a lot of time, but I'm afraid your opponents are already closer to the goal than you!" Sphinx licked his lips, trying to add some psychological pressure to Bai Lin.
This riddle is a typical "English crossword puzzle". The first sentence is about the word SPY (spy), the second sentence is about the letter in the middle of "middle" or the letter at the end of "end", which is d, and the third sentence is When children can't think of the word, they will make the sound "er...", plus the hint of the last sentence, the combination is the answer "spider".
This plot left a deep impression on Bai Lin. Riddles of this level are not difficult for British children. They are similar to Eastern crossword puzzles, but for people from non-English-speaking countries, it is difficult to connect. The logic and difficulty will naturally increase.
But what Bai Lin was thinking about at this moment was not the puzzle itself. Instead, he stretched out his finger, pointed at the Sphinx and said, "If I'm not wrong, you were arranged here by Barty Crouch Jr., right?" It can be said that no matter whether I answer correctly or not, you will attack me when I pass by to ensure that Harry can win the championship in the end, right?"
The Sphinx frowned and stared at Bai Lin fiercely. Suddenly, the aura of his whole body was completely different. It looked like it was ferocious to choose people to eat. It still did not pounce at the first time, but roared: " How did you guess that?"
Bai Lin shrugged and said: "Sphinxes are unique magical animals in Egypt. If they come up with a riddle, it should be an Arabic or Egyptian riddle. How could there be such a low-level British riddle?" What? You should be an illegal Animagus, I guessed it right!"
The Sphinx roared and rushed towards Bai Lin. Its movements were extremely agile, even as good as the cats and leopards encountered in the Beast Arena. It was like a golden blast, and Bai Lin did not dodge. Deciding to fight it to the death, Bai Lin planned to subdue and seal the sphinx in front of him before it transformed into a human form.
The words are divided into two parts. In Diagon Alley in London, Yuxi came to the place agreed with Lulu. She arrived fifteen minutes early, and Lulu also arrived ten minutes early. The two looked at each other and smiled, and they were on the street. Sit down at the ice cream parlor.
Yuxi sat opposite Lulu. Lulu's beautiful face looked dreamlike in the sun. Her long hair, dyed black, swayed in the wind. Paired with her very elegant dress, she looked like she was in a fairy tale world. Like a princess who came out, You Qian couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The girls around Bai Lin came one after another, and each one was prettier than the last, but she didn't have the gentleness, virtuousness and intelligence of Catherine, nor the beauty and beauty of Yan Nishuang, the fairy who descended to earth. She has super magical power, and does not have Qiqi's body-building figure and close combat skills. Today, she exposed herself a lot again, and found that she did not have the aristocratic temperament and comprehensive ability like her. The more Yu Qian thought about it, the more she felt inferior, and she couldn't help but worry that Bai Lin would like her more. They will ignore themselves.
Lulu watched Yuxi's expression change, and she guessed it. She couldn't help but sit next to Yuxi and grabbed her hand.
"I know, you love cousin Kaili very much, right?" Lulu said softly.
Yuxi stared into Lulu's eyes, nodded very firmly and said: "Kairi... is the only man I love in my life... but... I can't compare to you..."
Yuxi almost cried as she spoke. She had been very anxious when she saw Yan Nishuang in the East. Now sitting with Lulu, that feeling suddenly emerged.
Lulu held her hand tightly and whispered: "Love is never a matter of competition...Actually, do you know? I am very envious of you, and I was even jealous of you..."
Yuxi was stunned and said: "How could it be possible? You are so beautiful and capable! Kaili has always valued you very much!"
Lulu looked at the sky and then at the streets with people coming and going. She sighed softly and said, "I envy you for being able to stay with him all the time..."
Yuxi said quietly: "Actually, I have no place to go except with him..."
Lulu patted her hand and said: "Don't think so much. If possible, I would rather exchange with you. I will no longer live for the family, but stay with the person I like..."
Youxi looked at Lulu in surprise. She suddenly became a little happy, but she didn't show it. Maybe to Lulu and Yan Nishuang, these beautiful girls, she was just an "ordinary" girl, but it was because of her Only by being ordinary can you live for yourself, and only then can you stay with Bai Lin, see him every day, hold him, and do shameful things with him... Thinking about it, Yu Qian's face turned red. got up.
Lulu looked meaningfully at Yuxi's reddish cheeks, sighed softly, and said: "It's almost time, we should take action!"
Only then did Yuxi remember that they still had business to do. She stood up suddenly, her whole body filled with fighting spirit, and the bravery hidden in her heart suddenly emerged.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards Gringotts Bank at the end of Diagon Alley. Although they didn't even order any food, the owner of the ice cream shop still nodded and bowed almost obsequiously to send them out, as if Lulu was giving him a huge favor by coming to sit down.
As soon as she walked out of the store, several men in black followed her. Yuxi couldn't help being surprised, but when she saw one of them respectfully stepped forward to help Lulu carry her bag, she realized that it was Lulu. Lu's follower.
Lulu held Yuxi's arm affectionately, and like sisters, the two of them walked gracefully through the flowery and bustling streets and entered the gate of Gringotts.
Three goblin staff members were already standing at the inner door waiting for their arrival. Among them was Christo, the key account manager who had entertained Bai Lin.
"Welcome, dear Miss Rosedelmo, it is a great honor to serve you!" Christo stepped forward and saluted gracefully, his eyes almost curved into a crescent shape. A big customer like the Rose family, Just like his parents who provide him with food and clothing.
Lulu had an indifferent look on her face, as if she had changed from a considerate young lady to a cold-blooded and arrogant queen in the blink of an eye. She said coldly: "My time is precious, just take me to the family treasury!"
Christo looked flattering, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Of course, my dear lady, Christo is at your service, please go this way~"
The group skipped all the queuing and waiting mechanisms and boarded the car directly to the underground vault. By the way, this car was also specially made. It looked like a somewhat retro but more ornate carriage, and it was also very far inside. It is roomier and more comfortable than ordinary mining cars, almost the same difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Santana. It can be seen that Lulu enjoys much higher treatment than ordinary rich people, almost on the same level as the royal families of various countries.
Although he had been here once, Yuxi was still very curious about Gringotts' underground vault. He looked out through the glass window at the intricate underground tracks and countless vault buildings, while Christo kept asking Lu Lu introduced the maintenance status of the Ross family's treasury, how often it needs to be inspected, how many times it is inspected every day, and so on. In general, your treasury is as solid as a rock, and there will be no danger even if the army is used.
Lulu nodded noncommittally. When the car stopped, a follower immediately opened the door. Lulu and Yuxi got out of the car gracefully. When Christo was about to follow, he was stopped by a man in a suit wearing sunglasses.
"Just wait in the car. I will be accompanied by professional staff from the family." Lulu glanced at Christo from the corner of her eyes, then walked towards the magnificent door of the Ross family's treasury. And Christo was stopped in the car by the man in a suit. Christo laughed twice and sat back honestly. He couldn't afford to offend such a top-class rich man. Besides, he was already very "pleasant". .
As Lulu walked, she whispered to Yu Qian: "The Explorer family has several vaults. According to the photos you provided, this one should be the closest one to our target."
Yuxi was once again stunned by the strength of Lulu's family. She was the one who should be said to be rich and incomparable.
There are many gargoyle statues at the door of this vault. When someone approaches, the gargoyle's eyes light up like voice-activated lights, emitting a faint red light. But when Lulu steps forward, the red light turns to white. The owner should have been detected.
Yuxi curiously asked in a low voice: "What will happen if you find that the wrong person is coming?"
Lulu shrugged and said: "A warning will be issued. You can't go forward anymore. If you touch the vault door before passing the first level, the treasure room inside will be transferred directly, and then there will be some unfriendly security measures." .”
Yuqian looked at the dozens of gargoyles on both sides with a vague understanding, and swallowed. This unfriendly security measure should be like the gargoyles cutting the thief into pieces.
Several followers did not follow Lulu to the door of the vault. Instead, they stood guard in front of the door to prevent anyone from approaching. They held wands in their left hands and reached into their arms with their right hands. They should be touching the firearms. You are the wizard. , Muggles, Spellbreakers, or other monsters, they will all be able to fight.
Lulu activated the door of the treasury in a few clicks. Behind the two of them, a square hole appeared on the ground. A statue of an angel holding a sword rose from the ground, forming a screen wall so that the inside of the treasury could not be seen from the outside. , and Lulu pulled Yuxi and quickly got in through the opened door.
Yu Qian originally thought that the vault was filled with mountains of gold coins or other gold and silver treasures, but when she went in and took a look, she was dumbfounded. The inside was so scary that it was almost as big as a basketball court, and the vault was filled with all kinds of gold and silver treasures. Various machines and weapons, with dark gun barrels, looked like very strange equipment. Yuxi was stunned for a moment.
Lulu took out a magic package and explained: "These are all rags left over from the war years. At that time, the evil black wizard research center of the Axis Powers created a lot of very dangerous equipment, most of which were used after the war." It was destroyed by the Allies, but for research purposes, the Ross family has sealed some of the equipment to this day, and they don’t know what its use is, and they have to pay a lot of storage fees every year... Aha, except for you, no outsiders have ever come in."
Yuxi swallowed her saliva and said, "You don't know how to kill people and silence them..."
Lulu laughed and said: "Cousin Kaili is also a member of the Explorer family. If you follow him, you will be one of our own. Maybe I will give these things to him in the future! ...You can change these clothes superior!"
Yuxi took the package handed over by Lulu and opened it. It was a set of very retro witch costumes, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, from headdress to ring.
"They are all 1:1 replicas, absolutely identical!" Lulu took out a few more photos. In the photos, a woman with a killer haircut turned out to be the famous dead black witch--Bellatrix Ley. Strange.
