Hogwarts Crawler

"Pyramids!"

"Mummy!"

Looking at the two people who were clamoring to see the ancestral tombs and corpses of their ancestors, Adam could not help but remain silent.

"Well, since you want to see it so much, let's put the pyramids on the first day."

Adam looked at Uther in shock.

"I've said it doesn't matter. The pyramids that are now open to tourists are not fake, but there are no real things inside."

Uther shrugged:

"It's just right to take you to see the Sphinx."

Because of the species' habits of being smart enough and liking to ask difficult questions and riddles, the biggest employment direction of the Sphinx, whether in Egypt or elsewhere, is to guard treasures and passages. In Egypt, it is naturally to guard pyramids and temples.

So, no matter what the original travel plan Uther arranged for everyone was, at the strong request of Cologne and Bernard, they set out on the road to the pyramids.

The means of transportation to the pyramids is a small bus. It doesn't look big from the outside. There is a traceless stretching spell inside. It is not crowded to accommodate more than ten or twenty people. There are fruits, drinks and ice cubes next to the seats.

On the way, Uther looked at the two people with excited faces and reminded them:

"Although we are going to the pyramids, it is definitely different from what you think. Those pyramids are not open to the public, but they have been dealt with by the Ministry of Magic a long time ago, and it is basically impossible for anything dangerous to happen - of course, the premise is that you don't act recklessly."

Otherwise, Uther's parents would not let Uther take them to play alone.

"Got it!" x2

Unlike the pyramids near Cairo, the car drove all the way to the depths of the desert, and they arrived at their destination after several hours of travel.

"Even if the Muggle-repelling spell is cast, some things in these pyramids still make the ancient pharaohs build them deep in the desert."

Uther said as he got out of the car:

"I will take you to play around Cairo these days, appreciate the Nile River, and then take you to Thebes, where there are many pharaoh tombs in the Valley of the Kings, which is much more interesting than here."

Uther couldn't help but smile:

"And my favorite, Egypt's pride - Ramesseum, I will show you what it really looks like."

Ramesseum Tentyris, a sacrificial temple built during the reign of Ramses II, is second to none in Egyptian history in terms of scale and splendor.

However, in the current cognition of the Muggle world, it is only a ruin.

After briefly mentioning the arrangements for the next few days, Uther took everyone to the closed door of the pyramid and reached out his hand to touch the crack from top to bottom.

"Boom boom--"

Amid the sound of trembling gravel, Uther led them to the other side of the pyramid.

"What was that just now?"

Cologne looked curiously at the door that had no other movement.

"That door is the switch to enter the pyramid, but it is not the entrance to the pyramid."

Uther's smile was a bit sarcastic:

"Even if it is the correct way to open the door, anyone who enters from that door, except the descendants of the pharaoh, will fall into the underworld and never come back-don't tell others."

Bernard came over and said:

"So, have you seen the underworld?"

"No, an ancestor once went into that door out of curiosity. There was a dead end inside. The long corridor prohibited all magic, and at the end was a wall made of a whole stone. Except for a linen curtain hanging at the door and the portraits of Anubis on both sides, there was nothing in the whole corridor."

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the real entrance.

Uther used his magic wand to touch a boulder, and with that boulder as the center, more than a dozen boulders seemed to melt and transformed into a huge stone door. The colorful paintings on the door were as bright as if they were just painted yesterday.

"Please come in~"

He gently stretched out his hand and pushed, and the stone door opened inward. What came into view was nothing else but a giant male Sphinx!

"Please tell me, what is it... um, master?"

The Sphinx originally thought that someone from the Ministry of Magic came to feed him, and was about to say the riddle he had come up with recently. Unexpectedly, he saw Uther, and quickly swallowed the riddle behind him, stood up and walked aside to make way.

"This is a Sphinx I raised. It's called Maotuan. You can take a look at it, but it's best not to do anything rude."

Uther looked at the behemoth called Maotuan:

"These are my friends, don't resist."

"... Maotuan?"

Eugene looked up at the Sphinx and couldn't help saying.

The opponent was at least three meters tall when he was lying on the ground!

Eugene wouldThe reason for the question was obvious, and Uther sighed:

"Believe me, Maotuan was really small when he was young... He grew so big without knowing it."

"I find it hard to believe that he grew to this size without knowing it."

Congratulations, Eugene would complain, and his roommates didn't think it was a big deal, but Eugene's grandmother was happy. She had no interest in the Sphinx, and she was resting with Old Reed and Kelly.

Old Reed didn't have any special hobbies for magical animals, and he just looked at them, and Kelly had seen the Sphinx before, so she naturally had no interest in it.

Adam walked to Maotuan and touched it. The Sphinx was also called the Sphinx. Adam was not interested in the human face, but the body was indeed similar to that of a lion. The coarse hair looked carefully groomed, and it was as soft as satin when touched.

It was almost comparable to Xiaoke's body.

Adam, who had already gained experience in touching Xiaoke, unconsciously used professional techniques, and the hairy ball's tail unconsciously lifted up in the air, leaving an afterimage.

Cologne was not interested in touching the hairy ball, and did not go forward to join him, but looked at Uther expectantly:

"Before, the hairy ball was going to give a riddle, right? Let's guess it!"

"Yes, of course we have to experience the riddle of the Sphinx when we meet the Sphinx!"

Bernard followed.

The hairy ball was immediately alert when he heard this, and looked at Uther expectantly.

"Well, it's okay, but if the Sphinx's riddle is answered incorrectly, the Sphinx will fall into a state of irritability and become more aggressive. Even if the hairy ball is raised by me, I can only guarantee that it will not attack us, and then we won't be able to observe it so closely."

"Then guess it."

Adam let go of his hand and took a few steps back. He was more interested in the riddle of the Sphinx.

If he really wanted to touch the hairy ball, he would have another choice.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Maotuan proudly straightened his upper body:

"Please tell me: what can run but never walk, has a mouth but never speaks, has a head but never sheds tears, has a bed but never sleeps?"

Uther raised his eyebrows. Years of familiarity allowed him to quickly guess Maotuan's riddle. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, which at least ensured that Maotuan would not fall into a frenzy.

Adam thought for a few seconds. Sphinx's riddles are usually not made up casually, and are basically inseparable from the environment in which it lives, so he quickly guessed the answer.

"Those who have guessed it should not tell the answer first, write it down on paper, and then everyone will take it out and check it together."

Eugene suggested, taking out a notebook from his bag, tearing off the paper, and taking out a few pens and distributing them to everyone together with the paper.

"Eh? Have you guessed it?"

Cologne, who was still thinking, looked at him in surprise.

"Not yet."

Eugene shook his head, then looked at Uther and Adam who had already started writing:

"But I think they have guessed it."
