Chapter 37: Riddles and Stories (350 Monthly Pass Update)

"Let's guess a riddle." The huge Sphinx's eyelids moved slightly, and then he said directly.

For an existence like Liu Zhi, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and at his level, he must be able to play how he wants.

And no matter what this uncle thinks, Liu Zhi can only bear it.

The one didn't wait for Ryuji to answer whether he was willing to participate or not, so he talked about the myth to himself.

"Anything can run but never walk, a mouth but never speak, a head but never tears, a bed but never sleep."

Liu Zhi felt a flock of crows flying over his head, what kind of riddle is this, a children's riddle?

The Sphinx, who was on the agenda, became excited, "Hurry up and guess, hurry up and guess, there will be a prize for guessing, and if you can't guess, you will be punished." ”

Ryuji thought for a moment, "River." ”

"Well, you're a smart kid." Seeing that Ryuji guessed the riddle, the excitement of the Sphinx dissipated, and not only stretched out a rattan-like thing from there, and touched the top of Ryuji's head, "That's it, you are going to the earthly palace of Horus, right, there will be a little lion to take you there at night, I am going to rest." ”

Ryuji was not at all dissatisfied with this, but a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, just now he was lightly touched by something like rattan, and he got the reward that the Sphinx said.

The message in front of me is proof.

【Ding! Complete the riddle of the Sphinx, get the approval of the Sphinx, Spirit +3]

The Sphinx's recognition is nothing, the important thing is the spirit +3 in the back, Liu Zhi never thought that Toth's mission would be earned like this, just running an errand, his mental power has increased by 6 points, for Liu Zhi, this is a rhythm that is almost doubled.

This kind of thing has to happen a few more times, and Liu Zhi can stand up and say that he is a serious mage.

However, Nick didn't know why Ryuji was smiling so happily, and Nick asked with some concern, "Are you sure they will take us to the Upper Ground Palace?" ”

Asked by Nick, Ryuji also hesitated for a moment, and finally he said: "It should be, I suspect that the thing that Toth gave to the Sphinx is going to be sent to the side of the earthly palace, although I don't know what it is, but this thing must be very important, so they will definitely pass it once, and we are hitchhiking." ”

"But there's no reason for them to take us along." Nick was still a little worried, "They can go over on their own." ”

"I think they must be useful to us, or to put it mildly, to me."

Hearing Liu Zhi say this, Nick also nodded, he and his subordinates were relatively honest, anyway, their mission this time was to accompany Liu Zhi over and solve his curse and finish it.

As for how Yanagi talks to the Sphinx, that's Yanoji's own business.

For the next half a day, the Sphinx seemed to have forgotten about Liuzhi and them, and did not control Liuzhi them, nor did they let them do anything, but just did their own thing.

Naturally, Ryuji would not waste such time, and he ran to talk to those little Sphinxes who were only the size of horses, and learn some history about the Sphinx from them.

For this, those big sphinxes didn't come out to stop them, after all, what Liu Zhi asked was only about historical knowledge, not their fundamental magic or anything, these were just equivalent to their bedtime stories, and Liu Zhi could listen to as many as he wanted.

However, Liu Zhi is different, he is a systematic person, and all kinds of knowledge will be of some use to him, because he knows that great wisdom is often hidden in history.

Ryuji listened to the story for half a day, from which he heard about the origin of the Sphinx, the enemies of the Sphinx, the historical battles they participated in, and so on.

Later, Ryuji was surprised to get the news that there was a necromancer who wanted to make an undead similar to the Sphinx, and they used griffins and scorpions to make them, and in the end, the griffin's kind of product did not succeed, but instead used scorpions and humans to combine them into an undead creature.

This creature is called Ramasus, and for a time it was relatively numerous, and it fought a great battle with the Sphinx, and was finally destroyed by the Sphinx.

However, this method of making Ramasu is still preserved, and according to the Sphinx, this method of making Ramasu is quite mature, and if you train it well, it is possible to grow to the level of the Sphinx in the end.

For this, Ryuji just listened to it, after all, the little sphinx bragged there, it wasn't necessarily true, maybe it was a means used by the big sphinx to scare the little guy.

It's just that from the system, it can be determined that after listening to this story, Ryuji's knowledge of the undead has been improved to a certain extent, and at the same time, he has also mastered the preliminary method of making Ramasu.

"It's another method of making a corpse soul naga, the idea is good, but the materials are hard to find."

Ryuji was not too happy about such a gain, he knew very well what he wanted at this stage.

I can only say that I will use it in the future, but now I can only use it for fun and record it as useful information.

By night, all the Sphinxes had vanished into the valley.

Ryuji noticed that outside of this valley, there was an eerie feeling in the air, as if all the nearby valleys had been turned into ghost domains.

As a necromancer, he had the most say in such a situation, and he could feel that there were too many pharaohs buried in the Valley of the Kings nearby, and the power of the pharaohs had affected it for thousands of years.

If it weren't for the Sphinx in the valley in front of you, maybe this valley would have become a part of the ghost realm.

Ryuji had been standing at the exit of the valley at this time, watching the changes outside, and he had a feeling that these would have to be used by him in the future.

Around three o'clock in the second half of the night, the sphinx that had brought Yanagi into the valley appeared in front of him.

"Call your friends, we're leaving."

"Is this the point in time?"

Ryuji asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, only after this point in time has passed, you can enter the earthly palace, otherwise even if I bring you to the location, you will not be able to find there."

Ryuji didn't understand what he meant, but he called Nick and the others up, and with a gust of wind, they flew behind the Sphinx towards the end of the Valley of the Kings.
