Chapter XVII: Detachment

"What?"

The Sphinx looked dazed when he heard my answer. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But why are the Northeast accents coming out, Lord Sphinx, are you from the Northeast?

Well, didn't you hear clearly? Then I'll say it again, it's Xiao Ming and Da Ming themselves.

Anyone can easily tell the difference between themselves and others, so it's not their parents or gods, it's themselves.

"Damn, where are those Xiao Ming and Da Ming? Let me eat them. ”

Well, the Sphinx-sphinx seems to be serious.

That's just a hypothetical character, not an actual one.

And even if you eat Xiao Ming and Da Ming, it won't change the outcome of your loss.

So, throw in the towel.

"Thou shalt ...... Isn't it too carried away?"

Huh?

"Since you can't eat Da Ming and Xiao Ming, let me eat you! My wisdom will be defeated or something, absolutely impossible! I will never admit it!"

The face of the Sphinx suddenly became hideous, and his originally lazy body slowly stood up, his body was like a small mountain, and when he stood up, he could even block the entire cave.

Does this guy have no intention of fulfilling his promise at all?

My body quickly floated, and I turned and sped towards the cavern I had come from.

"Don't try to run!"

Just as I was about to accelerate forward, a wall stood in front of me.

"Boom!"

I slammed into the wall, dizzy.

When I staggered back to my feet, I realized that it wasn't a wall at all, it was hard muscle, and there was pimpling fluff - yes, the Sphinx was standing right in front of me.

You, you, you, why are you here?!

I turned back in horror, and there was a sphinx chasing after me, and when the sphinx saw that I had stopped, he slowed down and walked slowly to my face.

"Oh, you're pretty fast. ”

I was picked up by the sphinx's claws, and his snort spewed a cloudy breath that made my chest tight.

How, how can there be two Sphinxes?

"Confused? It's just the simplest double doppelganger. ”

[Double doppelganger, a type of magic skill, can split one's body action, but the power will be halved.] 】

Lord Shenzhi is really caring, and he helps me answer my doubts at this time.

But is it useless at all?

And, Lord Sphinx, oh no, Sphynx bastard! You are a scoundrel!

"That's right, I'm just a scoundrel, I just don't keep my promises, what's wrong?

Ahhh

In the face of this kind of Raippi's answer, I can't do anything about it at all.

Yes, as the Sphinx said, I am nothing more than a powerless magic book, and my life has been held in his hands from the beginning.

It's just a pity for my short magic book life, and before I have time to experience the outside world, it's about to end like this.

Haha, don't scratch it, it's so itchy, don't you see people feeling sad?

[Do you have a contract with the living entity?]

Huh, Lord God, what are you talking about?

[Do you have a contract with the living entity?]

No, choose no for me, I can be a magic guide book that would rather be broken than broken, and have a noble character!

[Selected: No.] 】

Haha, so don't scratch it!

I obviously wanted to die with righteousness, but my body couldn't stop laughing, and I looked at it, and it turned out that the Sphinx had lifted me up with one paw, and tried to turn the pages of my book with the other.

But because his claws were so big, he failed several times, and finally accidentally scratched my pages and felt like scratching my feet.

After a while the big guy finally flipped me open, and he carefully flipped through the pages of my book with his huge paws, his face full of disappointment.

"I didn't write anything? I thought there would be a lot of wisdom in the question. ”

Even if there is, I won't tell you!

"Oh, do you really have it? Hand over your secret book, and in that case, I may spare your life. ”

Spare my life? I won't believe it anymore! That's what you said just now, but now?

"In that case, I will have no choice but to eat you. ”

The Sphinx sighed and opened its jaw, ready to take me into its mouth.

Ah, the blood-red mouth, I can even see his almonds, is that the end of it?, I say it fearlessly, but I really don't want to die.

Is there any way to do it...... Is there anything I can do to save my life?

Wait a minute!

I yelled at the Sphinx, who seemed to hear my plea and took me out of his mouth again.

"What else do you want to do?"

I have one more question before eating me!

"What's the problem?"

The Sphinx looked unhappy, but after thinking about it, he decided to listen.

"What's in the middle of the Magic Book?"

"Huh?" the Sphinx looked at me with contempt, "you don't write anything in this book." ”

No, I'm not asking you what I've written above, aren't you the embodiment of self-proclaimed wisdom?

"I ...... How could I not answer. ”

The Sphinx said, hurriedly flipping through me.

He usually flipped through it and muttered to himself, "In the middle...... In the middle, I flip through the pages in front of me and the back pages at the same time, and the rest is in the middle, can it be said that there is any secret?"

Poof, that's a terrible solution.

"What did you say?"

No, nothing, you continue.

Soon, the Sphinx flipped through all the pages of my book and gave the answer.

"There's nothing in the middle of the magic book!"

Wrong.

"I don't believe it, it's clear that there's nothing, you're a strong word, I'm going to eat you. ”

I'm not a fool, and if you want to hear it, it's not impossible to tell you the answer.

“…… I, I want to know the answer to this ultimate question. ”

No, no, no, it's not the ultimate question, it's really just a brain teaser that six-year-olds often play.

"Sharp turns, what's the matter? Tell me the answer. ”

Want to know the answer?

"Hmm. The Sphinx nodded honestly.

If you keep your promise and let me go, I'll tell you the answer.

Otherwise, even if you eat me, I won't tell you the answer, and then you will slowly get entangled in the rest of your life for hundreds of years and thousands of years!

"But, damn it...... It whetted my appetite. ”

So? Lord Sphinx, do you agree?

The Sphinx muttered to himself: "In the middle of the magic guide book, there is obviously nothing, is there really a secret hidden? No, I must know the answer......

I saw that he struggled for a while, and finally gently put me back on the ground.

"I let you go, will you tell me the answer now?"

Hmph, I'm not going to make that mistake.

If you want to know the answer, it's easy, you open that door and I'll tell you when I step over.

"Thou ...... You!" The Sphinx seemed very angry, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't scold, "You won......"

He sighed, picked me up with his mouth, and walked to the fiery red door.

I don't know what kind of magic he used, a spiral formation appeared on the door, the door slowly opened, and the Sphinx placed me on something similar to that on a teleportation table.

"The formation has been activated, and soon you will enter the upper layer, so tell me the answer quickly!"

The Sphinx said in a tone that was half commanding and half pleading, which made me feel a little proud.

You step back ten meters first.

I said to the Sphinx, after all, there was a possibility that he would drag me out immediately after telling him the answer, and I couldn't be wrong again and again.

The Sphinx retreated in distress, and the light of the formation beneath my feet lit up, and it seemed that it was really about to teleport.

Whew, listen up.

I took a deep breath.

In the middle of the three words "Magic Guide Book", it must be the word "guide"!

"The Book of Magic...... Guide?" the Sphinx muttered, and then he woke up with a look of sudden realization.

"I see! There is a guide in the middle of the magic guide book! I didn't even think of it!"

Just as the Sphinx was basking in the joy of being answered, the light around me flashed rapidly, and the scene around me turned into photons.

Goodbye Sphinx, Guardian of Wisdom.

Saying...... You're actually protecting the wisdom of a three-year-old, right?
