Chapter 251: Ask the Sphinx to guess the riddle
"Brother Roland and Sister Mira, good night, welcome to come and play whenever you have time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bella stood on the balcony of the castle and reluctantly waved goodbye to Roland and Lyudmila.
"Good night Bella, listen to your mother." Lyudmila also waved goodbye to the "little lion princess" on the balcony and followed Roland to the castle gate and boarded the open-top carriage.
Sitting on the thick velvet chair, the female ranger stretched her waist comfortably, and said to Roland with a smile: "Bella's little girl is really naughty, I played with her for most of the day, and I was so tired that my back hurt." ”
"You can imagine how difficult it is to be a parent, from the perspective of genetic laws, when you have your own children in the future, I am afraid you will be more naughty than Bella." Roland teased solemnly.
"What are you talking nonsense!" Lyudmila's cheeks flushed, and she reached out and twisted it on his arm.
At this time, a sphinx turned around, and his beautiful face was full of smiles: "Two distinguished guests, where are you going?" ”
"Emma! You—You can still speak human words?! Lyudmila was taken aback.
Ms. Sphinx couldn't help but laugh: "I'm sorry to scare you." ”
The sister next to her complained in a low voice: "I told you not to talk too much, and cause trouble to the guests." ”
Roland patted the female ranger's hand and said with a smile: "Don't look at these two Sphinx ladies are magical beasts, they are different from those outside who only have an intelligence of 3, their intelligence is much higher than that of both of us, and they can count a few foreign languages, and part-time mages are normal." "The female Sphinx is the smartest of all magical beasts, with an average intelligence stat of 18, and any human being with this level of intelligence is considered a genius - in fact, the Sphinx is born with powerful spell-like abilities.
Lyudmila patted her towering chest and said to the cheerful and talkative Sphinx: "I'm sorry, it's my lack of knowledge, it's the fuss, that ...... Please take us back to the big samovar, thank you two ladies. ”
"Wait!" As soon as the flying car was about to start, Roland hurriedly said, "It's still early, let's go to the Martyr's Tower first." ”
Ms. Sphinx nodded and said with emotion: "Tonight is a good night, the moon is bright, how romantic it is for little couples to climb the tower to admire the moon." ”
Her companion couldn't help but break the silence: "That's right, I also want to find a good man to spend the moon and the moon to marry me." ”
"There are no male sphinxes in Kitland, unless you're willing to put on those rude and wicked human lions in the arena."
"Ahh Spare me! I'd rather be single and grow old than accept that kind of flyless idiot! ”
The two Sphynx ladies chatted about their love lives, spreading their wide wings and dragging the convertible car into the air.
A full moon hung in the night sky, Roland looked up and found that the starry sky on the plateau had a clear and transparent texture, and the clouds were clearly visible, which was a night scene unique to the high-latitude mountains with fresh air.
Lyudmila overlooks the night view at her feet. Neat street lamps light up the streets and alleys of the city, and the four commercial streets crisscrossing the city are particularly thriving, and the flow of people on the streets is no less scarce than during the day. Located in the center of the city, the towering Martyrs' Tower is like a majestic giant, gathering countless martyrs and heroes, silently guarding the beloved land under their feet.
Roland knew what his giant girlfriend was remembering, so he didn't disturb her, and turned to the two sphinxes to greet him: "Hey, two smart girls, do you want to play a game with me?" I'll make a riddle, and if you can guess the riddle, I'll give each of you a gold coin. ”
"Okay!" The two ladies were overjoyed, and of course they were happy to show off their ingenuity.
"Listen, the riddle goes like this: what walks on four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three in the evening?"
"Huh-?" The Sphinx sisters pondered.
Five minutes later, the car landed on the square in front of the Martyr's Tower.
Roland left two gold coins, took Lyudmila's men and got out of the car, waving to the Sphinx sisters: "Two smart ladies, there will be a meeting later." ”
"There will be a meeting later, dear Mr. Knight, and we will give you a riddle next time." The sisters dragged the empty cart and flew away laughing.
"How can you even flirt with the Sphinx, it's too much!" The Ranger noticed that the Sphinx sisters' attitude towards Roland was far more cordial than that of herself, and she couldn't help but be a little jealous.
"Where do you want to go, it's just a normal chat."
Lyudmila sighed: "Charm can really transcend racial boundaries, sometimes you think it's just a normal relationship, and you can't let others be amorous, when you are deliberately seducing ......"
Roland patted his forehead helplessly: "It seems that I have to be more serious in the future, so as not to be misunderstood." ”
There were also several shops next to the Martyr's Tower with lights on, and Roland realized that one of them was actually a flower shop, so he pulled Lyudmila inside. The smell of flowers filled his nose, making him almost suspect that he had traveled to another world, otherwise how could there be a wide variety of flowers on this cold plateau, and even dendrobium orchids, which are native to the tropics.
The owner of the flower shop, a good-looking fat woman, greeted him with a smile and asked him what kind of flowers he wanted to buy for his girlfriend.
Lyudmila is a forest ranger, and has an affinity for plants beyond ordinary people, so she glanced at the flowers in the room and whispered to Roland: "Most of these flowers are cultivated in greenhouses, and they lack natural flavor, and I don't like them." ”
"There are also flowers that grow naturally on the plateau," Roland snapped his fingers at the proprietress "Please give me a bouquet of snow lotus, and a bouquet of white roses." ”
Leaving two gold coins, Roland handed the pink snow lotus to Lyudmila and asked her with a smile: "Is this considered 'flirting'?" ”
The female ranger took the bouquet and patted it on his head, and she couldn't hide her shame: "If you talk nonsense, I'll knock you on the same strap with thorns!" ”
Roland shook the white rose in his hand, "This is a gift for Mr. Igor, who came all the way to visit him, and he didn't talk empty-handed." ”
"Hey, if my father were still alive, he would definitely be coaxed by you to be happy, and I can't wait to treat you as my own son." Lyudmila had a somewhat mixed mood.
The gates of the Martyr's Tower are always open to visitors, and the cleaners come to clean them once a day, morning and evening, but there are no guards in sight.
Walking into the hall on the first floor, there are two elevators, one leading to the top of the tower, which can overlook the whole city through the observation deck, which is a good place for walking; Another elevator leads to the ground, where Kitland's famous "Garden of the Dead" is located, where only heroes and martyrs who have performed great deeds for the city are eligible to be buried in the cemetery, where Lyudmila's father, Igor, is laid to rest.
