Chapter 1087: Finding the Secret in the Sand Sea (9)

Arriving on the outskirts of Zvar, Bedivel looked lost.

"What's the deal with that expression?" King Arthur was not blind, he had already seen the deep frown on the werewolf's face.

"I'm sorry, Arthur...... Bediwell found his hidden iron knight from behind the sandstone, lifted the covering cloth, and raised a puff of dust: "I was just here to see the situation, but I didn't expect this to happen, and swept your Yaqing." "It's okay. The Knight King said magnanimously, "Thanks to this, I have found out a lot of useful information. This trip is a great reward. He took out his phone from his bosom and dialed it: "Tristan, where are you now? We're done with us, we'll meet you right away." "We're in the middle of the desert, Your Majesty!" came the sullen voice of the fish-man prince on the other end of the phone: "The water vein has been found, and the next step is to investigate along the upstream of the water vein, and we will definitely find the oasis." We're sending signals as we move, so you can follow the signals, right?" Arthur glanced at Bediwell's Iron Rider again, but the navigator on the Iron Rider had been dismantled the night before, and it had not yet been put back on.

Just as the king was about to start worrying, the knight of the round table, Kador hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty, why are you running so fast!" "Kador?" King Arthur looked at his men, and Cador was holding an instrument in his hand, which was the most needed part of the Knight King at the moment: "Well done! Have you brought back the navigator!" "The sword master Ark's record has been investigated?" Bediwell took the navigator from Kador and quickly installed it on the iron horse.

"In short, all the records are copied and stored in the library, and this navigator is not used for the time being. Cador looked at King Arthur and Bediwell, and said reproachfully, "What the hell do you think......!" Bediwell used a screwdriver to install the navigator back little by little, and busily connected the wires, with great skill.

Kador continued to scold: "You can't be foolish like this if you know the road! Your Majesty, too, how can you take such a car that doesn't even have a navigation system! What if something goes wrong!" King Arthur scratched his head and remained silent. He knew that continuing to theorize would only lead to more nagging from the verbose guy of Kadol.

"Alright!" Bediwell set up the navigator, and the radar of the instrument immediately showed the signal of a companion, presumably the dragoon piloted by Tristan and Evan. It's only about a dozen kilometers from Zval and you can catch up in no time.

"So," Arthur jumped into the back seat of the Iron Knight, "let's go." I'll be in touch with you if I have something important, Kador. The Knight of the Round Table knew that it was useless for him to continue nagging, so he had to sigh: "I wish your majesty a smooth journey—you kid must protect your majesty! If you let your majesty bump into it, I won't spare you!" "Haha...... The werewolf smiled wryly, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away on the iron horse.

At the same time, the Grand Casino in Cairo.

Palamides led Zhalfir and Albert into the casino. They were still wearing brand new [Horus] suits and swaggering around the casino, like a bunch of rich people.

And the leopard man Philios is also waiting for the arrival of Palamides and sons (and Albert) at the main entrance of the casino. Like yesterday, he looked like a bodyguard in a casino, wearing a refreshing tight-fitting martial arts outfit, fully reflecting the perfect lines on his body. Ordinary people will be in awe when they see this toned and tall leopard.

"Oh, Palamit!" However, the big blue cat, who was scary, gave Palamides a warm hug as soon as they met: "I've been waiting for you all day." "Ahem...... After embracing his brother, Palamides whispered, "How do you go to see that Sphinx Daddy?" Come with me. Feleos smiled, with an inexplicable warmth on his smile: "Daddy will be very happy to see you." It was a family reunion. Palamides was silent. Philios completely treats that underworld boss as a relative. Such fanatical devotion is sometimes terrifying.

And when Philios led Palamides and his party towards the VIP room of the casino, Albert used his ice-blue cat eyes, restlessly observing his surroundings.

Only a day has passed, and yesterday's gamblers in this casino are still haunted, many of whom have witnessed the "deeds" of Palamedis and his party. At this time, they couldn't help but look at the Leopard people with respect, thinking that Palamides and his son (and Albert) were the ones who had been blessed by the goddess of luck and had been able to make a huge fortune from this large casino.

Of course, these people don't know that the jackpot won by Albert and Zhalfir yesterday was actually the casino's secret manipulation. The purpose is to let the tigers win money and face, and enjoy the scenery on the surface.

No, actually, now they are more glamorous. Philaeos led Palamides and his party into the VIP room, and before they could fully step inside, the edge of the red carpet on the floor glowed luxuriously golden red. The light on the edge flickered for a moment before becoming steady, focused, shining upwards from the bottom of the carpet, oozing through the cleverly hidden crevices of the red carpet, revealing the beautiful patterns of the carpet that were not normally visible.

Putting aside the splendid buildings on both sides of the VIP hall, the neat and neat uniforms of the guards who greeted Palamides and his party along the way are enough to show how big the pomp and circumstance of this meeting were-

It's like going to meet His Majesty the King.

Albert couldn't help but wonder even more. The other party went around in such a big circle to invite them over, stuffed enough bribe money before they met, and made the pomp and circumstance before the meeting so exaggerated, what was it for?

They were just a bunch of penniless orcs from humble origins. They weren't particularly famous, nor were they particularly heroic (at least not that would be known to the outside world).

So, what is it for?

Across the hall, straight down the backlit patterned red carpet, through the countless pillars of the hall, and past thousands of guards, they finally came to a room.

On the door frame, cast from real solid gold, are two doors carved from rubies, each large enough for a strong man to pass the guò. An elegant golden-red backlight creeps through the carved crevices of the ruby, adding to the delicate beauty of these two magnificent doors.

With great respect, Celeos cautiously pushed the door open. He waited in front of the door, making a [please enter] gesture for Palamides and his son (and Albert) to enter the room.

It was a dark room, and it didn't seem to have a window open. However, the exhaust system in the room is excellent, and the air in the room is not stuffy at all, but there is a soothing incense faintly coming from the inside of the room, which makes people feel relaxed.

Palamides glanced at his son, Zhalfir, and then at Albert. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and with two young men, trembling into the VIP room where the mysterious underworld boss was.

In the distance of the dark room, at the end of the twelve ruby steps, sitting on his throne, the tall figure was none other than the legendary Sphinx Daddy, the boss of the gang. The faint glow of the incense burner and the ruby glow between the carved gaps in the throne shone faintly on the great man, depicting his silhouette in a subtle way.

Daddy Sphinx stood up from his throne.

So tall. Can a human being be that tall? This guy is like a little giant. And what's the deal with that fluffy hair?

"I walk on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night—what am I?" asked the old man in a low, flat tone. Is this a puzzle? I think I've heard it somewhere before......

"It's a human meow. Zhalfir couldn't wait to answer: "When I was a baby, I crawled on four legs, and when I grew up, I stood on two legs, and when I was old, I walked on crutches and on three legs." "Correct solution. The Sphinx father smiled and took another step closer to the group: "I am the king, but I never wear a crown, instead, I have the beard of the king, and I maintain my majesty by my countenance, I am the overlord, but I never hunt and kill, instead, I sit on my throne, waiting for the tribute of my servants—what am I?" Palamedis frowned again. What the hell is going on? Guessing convention?

"It's a lion," Albert replied, "the lion of Africa, the undoubted king of the steppe." "Correct solution. The Sphinx Daddy smiled again, and took a step closer to the group: "I am formless and colorless, but I blind, I am neither poisonous nor harmless, but the people fear me and disperse me with fire, and people turn away from me, but they have to rely on me in order to find peace—what am I?"

Zhalfir thought for a moment, "It's darkness, meow." "Huhuhu...... Correct solution. Daddy Sphinx smiled with satisfaction and walked closer to the crowd: "I come and go without a trace, never stop anywhere in the world, too fast to catch, but when people open a certain window, they always catch me, I am neither qualitative nor immeasurable, always neglected, but I can be blessed with all things, so that the weak can grow—what am I?" Albert wagged his tail, the puzzle was probably the simplest, and he could answer it even with his eyes closed: "It's light." "Correct solution. Daddy Sphinx applauded softly and walked ten yards in front of the group.

As he approaches, his true colors will soon be revealed.
