Chapter 143: Master

The second question!!

Hua Yin next to her was stunned, but Ye Kong was even more frightened than her!

"How is that possible?"

Ye Kong's face was full of horror, according to the original historical situation, there was only one puzzle in the Sphinx, as long as the puzzle was answered correctly, he would get the help of his doppelganger - from beginning to end, there was only one puzzle!

However, the Sphinx said the second problem that he had never had before!

What's going on?

Wait a minute......... By the way, the projection map!!

Ye Kong's heart moved, and he thought of the real key place.

In the previous life, the players of the entire Aoki City stepped into a projection map, not a real Bloodsource Castle, in short, it was a fake!

Fakes and genuine products, naturally, have some differences.

Thinking of this, Ye Kong looked at Hua Yin.

In the previous life, Hua Yin and the Heng Sect Sword Regiment stepped into the Blood Source Castle together, but whether they triggered the Sphinx and answered its question correctly, did they also encounter the second question..........

These questions, then, are unknown.

Although Ye Kong is a reborn, he is not omniscient and omnipotent, and the person who knows the details is only the flower sound of his previous life.

Today's Huayin is just his little follower, and he doesn't know the answer at all.

"Kong-kun, you...... What are you staring at me? ”

Hua Yin's body was soft from Ye Kong's staring, from childhood to adulthood, this kind of sight was very common, but for some reason, for the first time, there was a strange appearance in her heart - numb and sour, which was difficult to describe.

"Uh, I'm sorry."

Ye Kong retracted his gaze, and at the same time, the Sphinx released 'kindness' again: "Young man, you still have 3 minutes to think. ”

Three minutes!

Ye Kong's heart sank, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, but his thoughts became a mess.

Two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, and three legs in the evening...........

The difficulty of this puzzle is far beyond his imagination!

"Empty Monarch ......."

Hua Yin also sensed the difficulty and wanted to say a word, but closed her mouth again, for fear of interfering with Ye Kong's train of thought.

Obviously, Huayin can't count on it, it's okay to ask her to fight, as for the things that use her brain.......... Forget it, although Huayin's chest is not big, it doesn't mean that her brain is very good!

At this moment, the only thing Ye Kong could rely on was himself.

"What the hell is the answer?"

Ye Kong's breathing was a little short, and the time left for him was not long, if it dragged on like this, this task would fail!

fail

It's death!

Bloodborne Castle is not a regular dungeon, it is essentially a field map, so dying once in a castle will also drop 1 level and bring a long state of weakness.

This failure is absolutely unacceptable to Ye Kong.

"Young man, you have 2 minutes left in your time."

The Sphinx's smile was still 'kind', but its tone had a hint of coldness - there was no doubt that as long as Ye Kong exceeded the time limit, its butcher's knife would fall immediately, without a trace of muddy water.

"What should I do?"

Ye Kong glanced around, and suddenly, his eyes met the mural, the content on which was related to the Sphinx, at this moment, Ye Kong couldn't help but remember, about the Sphinx-

"The Sphinx is a legendary creature of the Age of the New Gods, and even though it is sealed in the painting, it retains incredible strength, and at the same time, it is also the pet of Oedipus."

This information comes from books, in the last life, Ye Kong had read a lot of ancient books, and the excuse he used to fool Huayin was not empty words, but real facts.

"The Sphinx's Mural ........"

Ye Kong's gaze was fixed on the mural behind the Sphinx, which depicted a cliff, and on the edge of the cliff was a sturdy young man in addition to the Sphinx.

Earlier, Ye Kong had been paying attention to the Sphinx, but he ignored the other party's murals, until this moment, he repaid attention to the murals and immediately recognized the identity of the young man-

"Oedipus."

Historically, there are also some records of the Sphinx.

But more importantly, it was his master, Oedipus, who left a lot of historical records, but anyone who knows a little bit of the history of the Demon Realm can call out Oedipus's name.

Oedipus, a famous hero/ruler active in the "Age of the New Gods".

The ancient period of the Demon World is mainly divided into the "Age of the Dragon Emperor" (the first year of the new century - 780 years) and the "New God Age" (780 years - 1609 years), when the "Dragon Emperor Era" is over, the entire main world has entered the "New God Age", and a large number of heroes and demigods have emerged.

Oedipus was one of them, he was born in the southwest region of the Sixth Realm, the Thousand Circles Tree, at that time, the Thousand Circles Tree was divided into different countries than in modern times, and the most powerful countries were the Thebai Empire and the Athenian Empire. Later, after a series of efforts, Oedipus became the monarch of the Thebais Empire and overthrew the original monarchy.

Next, Oedipus marries the wife of the previous monarch, and tragedy occurs -

No one could have imagined that Oedipus was the son of the previous monarch, because the previous monarch offended a powerful sect and was cursed by the other party and did not want to implicate his son.

So, he sent his son to another country, but on the way, he encountered an assassin, and as a result, his whereabouts were unknown.............

In this way, Oedipus became the sin of killing his father and marrying his mother, and when he learned the truth, he took the initiative to blind himself in the eyes, and resigned from the position of monarch, and since then he has been relegated to the mountains and forests, and no one can find any trace of him.

The above is Oedipus's life experience.

The scene depicted on the fresco of the Sphinx is the first meeting between him and Oedipus, who is said to have answered his question and made him his pet.

"Young man, you have a minute left in your time."

The Sphinx's eyes began to turn cold, and even its right paw began to rise, as if it was preparing.

At this moment, Ye Kong calmed down instead, and a large number of conditions flashed through his mind-

"Sphinx, Oedipus, Second Puzzle ........."

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Ye Kong stopped thinking, and the corners of his mouth gradually drew up, outlining a hideous smile.

"Young man, you have 30 seconds left...........

"That creature is Oedipus !!"

Ye Kong raised his head suddenly, his eyes looked directly at the other party-

"Oedipus' life is like daytime: in the morning of life, when he was young, Oedipus was still a human being, so he walked on two legs.

At noon of his life, it was his middle-aged moment, at this time Oedipus killed his father and married his mother, so his behavior can be called a 'beast', so Oedipus became a four-legged walker, which means that he is a beast that is inferior to a person!

In the evening of his life, in his old age, Oedipus understood the truth and chose to blind himself in both eyes, and because of the loss of his eyes, he, like other blind people, had to walk on crutches - that is, on three legs! ”

Ye Kong raised his finger, pointed behind the Sphinx, and said word by word:

"The real answer is that your former masterβ€”"

"Oedipus !!"
