Chapter 839

"Riddles?!"

This is really very characteristic of the Sphinx, this kind of monster has the habit of guarding treasures.

Ivan recalled the description of the Sphinx in "The Monster Book of Monsters": For more than a thousand years, they have been used by wizards to protect their precious items and secret places. The sphinx is a very intelligent animal that loves riddles and anagrams.

They are happy to communicate with wizards, and usually only become dangerous when what they guard is threatened.

Don't look at the other party talking to him gently, Ivan has no doubt that if the answer is wrong, the result will become very bad.

Fight against the enraged Sphinx, and face the pursuit of at least a hundred goblins

Under the current circumstances, he has no other choice but to answer, hoping that the other party's riddle will not be too difficult.

"I choose to answer." Ivan said, "What is your riddle?"

Sphinx sat on her hind legs, blocked the middle of the road, and looked at Ivan with a smile, "There is an animal in the world, this animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night. The more legs you have, the more legs you have. , the weaker the strength, what kind of animal is this?"

She blinked and looked at Ivan with a mysterious smile on her face.

This is the famous riddle of Sphinx, also known as the riddle of human life. Anyone who has heard the story of Sphinx has heard of this riddle.

The correct answer is people!

In the morning of life man is a delicate infant crawling on all fours.

At noon, that is, when a person is young and middle-aged, he walks on two feet.

In his later years, he was so old and weak that he had to rely on the support of crutches as a third foot.

The monster on the opposite side of Aiwen gave him water. Many people know the answer to this riddle that has been passed down for thousands of years.

"The answer to the mystery is people!" Ivan paused and continued to ask, "Why?"

He wanted to know why the other party came up with such a simple riddle. Although Aiwen promised the other party to help her unshackle her feet, doing so was not in line with Sphinx's character, and she couldn't let Aiwen pass for no reason.

If that was the case, the goblins would not let the Sphinx guard the vault, it would be too dangerous!

Whenever a wizard comes and promises to help her unshackle, she will let him go. What kind of guard is this, it's better not to have one.

"Because I'm really homesick, and you showed up just in time." Sphinx smiled more kindly, she stood up, stretched her front legs, and stepped aside, "One more thing, I can feel you There is no malice in your heart. And the goblin beside you, I happen to know him too, he has done many evil things and deserves to be punished."

Sphinxes are kind-hearted magical creatures that themselves represent benevolence and nobility. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't appear in so many legends, let alone let the ancient Egyptian spellcasters build a huge sphinx to commemorate this creature and show the pharaoh's benevolence.

"Thank you." Ivan said, tapping the shackles on Sphinx's hind legs lightly with his wand.

With his movement, the shackles shattered and the Sphinx was free!

"It should be me thanking you. I have been here for more than ten years, and I can finally go back to my hometown to have a look."

"Do you need me to help you out?" Ivan continued to ask, he had a good impression of this monster.

"No, I can leave here by myself. There is an underground river below to leave this place." Sphinx said, "I can hear the sound of water flowing, and those goblins can't find me."

"Well, where is your hometown?"

"In the depths of the Sahara Desert, if you are free, you can come there as a guest. Goodbye, human wizard, and thank you for helping me again." After finishing speaking, the Sphinx ran away along the corridor ,Disappearing.

Alvin waved his hand and turned around.

At the end of the corridor, there is a semi-circular hall, where you can see the thick doors of a treasury.

Aiwen controlled Zuo Sai to look at one of the doors, and pressed his hand on it.

The vault door then disappeared, revealing an opening.

Inside the cave are treasures beyond imagination, stuffed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and goblets, silver armor, beautifully crafted scarab amulets, pure gold coffins of pharaohs and statues of various gods. cave.

If Ivan hadn't seen the pure gold cave where Nicole Flamel kept the "Book of Abraham", he might still be surprised.

But now I don't feel much, I just regret that I came late, all the really valuable things were packaged and sold to Malfoy by Zuo Sai, and now there are only a pile of useless gold and non-magical cultural relics left here. I understand why those goblins are so obsessed with these things.

Nevertheless, there are still many ancient Egyptian rare treasures among them, which have extremely high artistic and collection value.

They had all been looted by Djoser, or had been secretly hidden during the official excavation process, and behind each object was a bloody and dark crime. He had no right to own these objects and should be turned over to the Egyptian Ministry of Magic.

These alone are enough to keep this goblin in prison for a lifetime.

"Remove the magic on it, and pack all these things." Ivan said, kicking the box on the ground with his foot.

These boxes have all been expanded by the No Trace Stretch Curse, and can hold a lot of things.

While Zuo Sai was stuffing things inside, Ai Wen was not polite. He walked into the stone room and bumped into his pockets when he saw the things he was interested in. There were many priceless decorations and some fish in hieroglyphs.

After sorting it out carefully, it still brought a lot of surprises to Ivan.

He is going to go back and study the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, and maybe he can learn some secrets from these stone tablets.

Egypt, the ancient country loved by the gods, has too many secrets waiting to be discovered.

It is impossible for Ivan and Hermione to explore all of this trip, they can only feel part of it.

But with these things obtained from Zuo Sai's treasury, it is enough to make Ivan's trip very valuable, and its significance is not weaker than the trip to Sicily, Italy.

After waiting for more than an hour, the two of them sorted out all the treasures.

"Let's go, go back!" Ivan said, waving his wand, "Take these things and go back and surrender."

Not surprisingly, waiting for the ending of Zuo Sai will be ruined.

In front of these things, no matter how much he quibbles, it is useless.

At that time, Ivan will not need to control it at all, what the natural way of Aurors should do, and the goblins of Gringotts will not be able to help him...

Looking at this astonishing treasure, Ivan felt that the Ministry of Magic should award him a first-class Medal of Merlin, in recognition of his contribution to the protection of ancient Egyptian cultural relics and the fight against unknown evil forces. Browse and read the address:
