Chapter 394: The Sphinx Who Loves Guessing Puzzles!
All Harry could hear was a man's voice, who Harry didn't know.
He didn't care, and continued to walk, and in the middle of a road, a strange golden mist floated.
Nagini walked cautiously ahead and pointed her wand at it.
She used two spells to attack the golden mist, and the spell went straight through it, having no effect on it.
Nagini glanced back at Harry and said slowly, "Lord...... People, I'll ...... first Go in ......."
She stammers and doesn't know how to organize language, like a babbling baby trying to speak for the first time.
Nagini took a deep breath and rushed into the enchanted mist.
The world turned upside down.
Nagini hung there upside down with her long hair hanging down.
The earth became the sky, and the sky became the abyss.
Her feet are fixed in the earth.
Nagini's eyes looked down, and below was the infinite, starry black night sky.
Nagini didn't dare pull her feet out of the grass, fearing that once her feet left the ground, she would fall into the bottomless night sky.
"It's Professor Flitwick's invention of the "Inversion Spell", and it's not surprising that you don't know how to get rid of it. Harry walked in, strolling through the grass like no one else.
Harry lifted Nagini out of his clothes like a carrot.
Nagini only felt the feeling of being top-heavy turned upside down again.
Heaven and earth returned to normal, and Nagini fell to his knees on solid ground.
There was a strong feeling of dizziness that made me want to vomit.
A moment later, the two of them walked out of the golden mist.
......
When crossing a line.
The surface of Harry's body suddenly lit up with a sonorous sound.
There was a spell that wanted to attack Harry, but was shut out by Harry's magic.
The unsuspecting Nagini "poof" disappeared, and a small white rabbit appeared on the ground.
The Transfiguration Charm set by Professor McGonagall.
Nagini circled around Harry's feet a few times before using her magic to revert back to her human form.
The darkness is getting thicker.
Then, as Harry walked down a long, straight path, he noticed movement again.
An extremely strange monster appeared in front of her, and her body exuded a pale yellow light, illuminating the darkness around her, which was very strange.
She has been featured in Hagrid's "The Book of Monsters": the Sphinx.
This is the myth of ancient Egyptian mythology, the Sphinx, which is said to represent wisdom and knowledge.
Her body was a frighteningly large lion, with huge claws, a long golden tail, and a tuft of hair at the tip of the tail.
But she had the head of a beautiful woman, and her appearance was gentle.
Harry turned her head and looked at him with her long almond eyes as she emerged from around the corner.
The Sphinx lay quietly on the ground, unprepared to pounce.
Without saying a word, Nagini raised his wand and was about to recite the incantation: "Broken ......"
But Harry reached out and grabbed Nagini's wand and smiled, "Don't worry. ”
The Sphinx looked at Nagini strangely, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Bold and demonic, I can see at a glance that you are not human, the mighty dragon......"
Harry: "......"
"Where did you hear that?" asked Harry.
The Sphinx raised his head and said proudly: "My wisdom can know the past and the future, this is a very popular sentence in the future, I think it is very applicable, so I used it." ”
"I see. ”
Nagini looked at the Sphinx hostilely, "Phew, you're not human."
The Sphinx said: "Come to me, you are very close to your goal. ”
"But you can only pass by answering the questions that are asked to me. ”
"Can't I take a detour, then?" said Harry, unhurriedly.
"Of course not. Ever since you saw me, you have fallen into my realm, and only through my test can I let you pass. ”
"Do you Sphinx just stop people from doing this every day?"
"It's none of your business, you don't answer or not, anyway, no matter what you choose, unless you answer correctly, you can only stay here and wait for others to come here, or wait for the game to end. ”
Harry approached the Sphinx step by step.
The Sphinx moved his paw back and said uneasily, "You, what are you going to do?" I'm telling you, you are not allowed to use force at this level, don't come here, I'm going to call someone if I come over again......"
Harry laughed, "You shouted, you screamed and no one came to you." ”
Harry walked over to the Sphinx and studied her carefully.
"I think you're of cat blood, are you a feline?" asked Harry.
"What feline?" said the Sphinx angrily, "I am a noble Sphinx, and you have compared me to a cat." ”
"Then I'll verify it. ”
Harry stretched out his clutches over the Sphinx's long, soft blonde hair, and rubbed her head.
The Sphinx couldn't help but close his eyes, looking happy and comfortable, and his nose made a "uh-huh" sound.
But the comfortable feeling disappeared suddenly, and it turned out that Harry had removed his hand.
The Sphinx opened his eyes and said nervously, "What did you do to me, did you use a spell to control me?"
Harry asked rhetorically, "Do you like it, if you let me pass, I'll let you feel it again." ”
The Sphinx said, "Hmph, if you still threaten me, I won't touch my head?"
The Sphinx lifted his heavy furry paws and pressed them on top of his head, but his hair was all messed up, and he didn't feel Harry just now.
Harry smiled and waved his hand, "If you miss this village, you won't have this shop." ”
The Sphinx said in a tangled way: "No, this is my passive talent, everyone who sees me has to answer riddles." ”
"Then you just ask a simple one. Harry suggested.
The Sphinx didn't resist the temptation, and she said, "Okay then. ”
She blinked, and said, "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night......?"
Before the Sphinx could finish, Harry said, "Man." ”
You're right. The Sphinx smiled.
Then he looked up at Harry.
Harry didn't disappoint her, putting his hand on top of her head.
The Sphinx enjoyed it with peace of mind, and kept arching Harry's palm with his head, and his mouth made a "meow ...... sound".
Harry said, "Be my pet." ”
"Okay meow...... No......" The Sphinx suddenly woke up: "How can we Sphinx recognize humans as masters, my companions will definitely laugh at me." ”
"And if your master's wisdom surpasses yours, isn't that fine?" Harry didn't give up, the Sphinx was so funny.
"Do you think you're smarter than me?" the Sphinx's eyes widened.
Harry said, "I'm asking you a question, if you can't answer it, then just take me as the master, and if you can answer correctly, I'll be your pet, fair?"
The Sphinx said confidently: "Then you're done, you can be my pet and rub my hair every day." ”
"Good. Harry smiled brightly, "I don't mean to embarrass you, I'll just ask you a basic question." ”
"There are two circles with a radius of one centimeter, and their centers are one centimeter apart, what is the area of their overlap?" Harry also thoughtfully carved his intentions on the ground with his wand.
Sphinx: "???"
"You cheat, it's impossible to calculate!" said the Sphinx angrily.
"Who said no, just a little calculus knowledge......" Harry appeared in his hand a piece of manuscript paper, on which he wrote and drawn: "Look, the calculation is done." You're not going to cheat, are you?"
The sphinx's paws on the scratch paper trembled slightly, and although she couldn't understand the calculation, she just knew that it was the correct answer.
"I lost. The Sphinx said in frustration.
"Don't be sad, it's not a shame to lose to your master. Harry rubbed the Sphinx's head vigorously.
The Sphinx said: "I can't go with you now, I have to go back to Egypt and tell my parents that I have a bet with you." ”
"Of course, but first call the master to listen...... Harry smiled.
The beautiful face of the Sphinx became ruddy, and he shouted shyly: "Master meow......"
Harry laughed and walked over with Nagini.
Nagini had a sense of reverence for Harry: he was a master, and nothing could delight him.
......
It wasn't long before Harry walked over.
A boy also broke in, and he was Poliaco Brown of Durmstrang School.
It seems that he was lucky, and there were few obstacles along the way.
"Answer my riddle," Sphinx said, "and if you get it right – I'll let you pass, and if you don't guess or don't answer – you're just going to be honestly stuck here." ”
Poliaco Brown recognized her as the Sphinx, and he was confident.
Because he knew that the Sphinx were a brainless race, and a thousand years ago they loved to ask that riddle about "people", and now when they meet wizards, they still ask this, and they are not flexible at all.
So Polyaco Brown said, "Just ask." ”
The Sphinx smiled kindly: "There are two intersecting circles on the ground, they have a radius of one centimeter, what is the overlapping area?"
Poliaco Brown: "Σ(っ°Д°;) っ”
