Hogwarts Summoning Manual

Chapter 217 The Riddle and the Treasury

Seeing the poisonous leopard, Bai Lin was more certain of his guess. Without saying a word, he stepped forward with a slap in the face. In the narrow corridor, the poisonous leopard could not dodge in time. Sure enough, after the wind blade passed, the poisonous leopard Before he could spray out the poisonous mist, he was directly chopped off by the wind blade.

Bai Lin flitted past the fallen corpse of the sac leopard without looking back. As soon as he passed by, vines stretched out and pulled the sac leopard's body back into the plant wall, as if nothing had happened .

His footsteps were as swift as the wind, and he had a vague feeling that the Goblet of Fire was not far away from him, but when he made a turn and entered a narrow straight road, a huge sphinx blocked him.

Bai Lin has seen Sphinx many times, including the two subdued in the Pyramid of King Unas, and the one summoned by Qiqi, but although it is called a sphinx, the one he has seen The faces of a few of them can only be said to be somewhat human-like, and their body size is not much larger than that of an African lion. However, the one in front of them is obviously larger in size, with golden hair, long tail tufts, and a thick body. The claws are surprisingly long, and it looks very powerful, and it also has a very woman-like face. This is an adult Sphinx, very rare.

This sphinx obviously has a certain amount of wisdom. Bai Lin looked at it very curiously, not sure if it was an illusion created by the maze, or a real magical animal. If it was real, Bai Lin was not very sure. want to hurt it.

"You are very close to your goal, but you have to answer my riddle!" The Sphinx's voice was low and hoarse, and it should be the end that Harry met in the original book. Just let you go, if you don't guess correctly, I will pounce on you. If you don't answer, I will let you go away and won't hurt you!"

Bai Lin laughed immediately, thinking that with a beast of your level, labor and management can fight you on the ground, but he still respects the "normal part" of the game, nodded and said: "Go out!"

Sphinx sat back and said:

Consider first what man always wears a mask,

The actions are secretive, and the lies are repeated.

And tell me something is always mended,

The middle of the middle, the tail of the tail?

Finally tell me when I can't think of words,

Which voice is often blurted out.

Now connect them and answer me.

What is the animal you wouldn't kiss?

Bai Lin thought to himself: Sure enough, it is the one that Harry met before, but what kind of riddle is Harry facing right now?Bai Lin felt a little helpless, he could only hope that Harry would have the aura of the protagonist and would not encounter any major troubles.

"Have you thought about it? I have a lot of time, but I'm afraid your opponents are already closer to the goal than you!" Sphinx licked his lips, wanting to add some psychological pressure to Bai Lin.

This riddle is a typical "English anagram", the first sentence says the word SPY (spy), the second sentence says the letter in the middle of "middle" or the letter at the end of "end", which is d, and the third sentence When the child can't think of a word, he will make a sound of "er..." and add the hint of the last sentence, the combination is the answer "spider (spider)".

Bai Lin was very impressed by this episode. Riddles of this level are not difficult for British children. They are similar to oriental crossword puzzles, but it is difficult for people from non-English-speaking countries to get in touch. The logic involved will naturally increase in difficulty.

But what Bai Lin thought of at the moment was not the puzzle itself, but stretched out his finger, pointed at the Sphinx and said, "If I'm not wrong, you were also arranged by Barty Crouch Jr., right? It can be asserted that no matter whether I answered correctly or not, you will sneak up on me when I pass by to ensure that Harry can win the championship in the end, right?"

The Sphinx frowned, and stared at Bai Lin viciously. Suddenly, the aura of his whole body was very different, with a ferocity of choosing and devouring people. It still didn't rush over immediately, but roared: " How did you guess that?"

Bai Lin shrugged and said, "Sphinxes are magical animals unique to Egypt. If they come up with a riddle, it should be an Arabic or a riddle related to Egypt. How could they come up with such a low-level British riddle?" What? You're an illegal Animagus, I guess!"

With a roar, the Sphinx rushed towards Bai Lin. Its movements were extremely agile, not inferior to the cat and leopard encountered in the beast arena. It was like a golden blast, and Bai Lin did not dodge or avoid it. Decided to fight it desperately, there is one less sphinx in the illustrated book to activate the sphinx summoning technique, Bai Lin intends to subdue and seal the sphinx before it changes its human form.

The conversation was divided into two parts. In Diagon Alley in London, Yuxi arrived at the place agreed with Lulu. She arrived 15 minutes early, and Lulu also arrived 10 minutes early. The two looked at each other and smiled. The ice cream shop sat down.

Yuxi sat opposite Lulu, Lulu's beautiful face looked like a dream in the sun, her long dyed black hair swayed in the wind, matched with her very elegant dress, just like in a fairy tale world Walking out like a princess, Yuxi couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. The girls around Bai Lin were one after another, and each one was prettier than the other, but she didn't have the gentleness, virtuousness and intelligence of Catherine, nor the beauty and tenderness of Yan Nishuang's fairy descending to earth. She has super magic power, and she doesn't have Qiqi's bodybuilding figure and melee combat skills. Today, she has a lot of Lulu again, and she also finds that she doesn't have her aristocratic temperament and comprehensive ability. The more Youqian thinks about it, the more she feels a little inferior. They ignore themselves.

Lulu saw Yuqian's expression changing from bright to dark, and guessed nine out of ten, she couldn't help but sat beside Yuqian, and grabbed her hand.

"I know, you love Cousin Carey very much!" Lulu said softly.

Youqian stared into Lulu's eyes, nodded very firmly and said, "Kerry...is the only man I love in my life...it's just...I'm not as good as you..."

Speaking of which, Youqian almost cried. When she saw Yan Nishuang in the East, she was very anxious. Now that she was sitting with Lulu, that feeling came out all of a sudden.

Lulu held her hand tightly, and said softly: "Love is never compared...Actually, do you know? I'm very envious, even jealous of you..."

Youqian was taken aback, and said: "How come, you are so good-looking, and so capable! Kaili has always valued you in his heart!"

Gu Leg</span> Lulu looked at the sky, then at the street with people coming and going, and sighed softly, "I envy you that you can always be by his side..."

Youqian said quietly: "Actually, I have nowhere to go except beside him..."

Lulu patted her hand and said: "Don't think so much, if possible, I would rather exchange with you, no longer live for the family, but stay with the person I like..."

Youqian looked at Lulu in surprise, she was suddenly a little happy, but she didn't show it, maybe for Lulu and Yan Nishuang, she was just an "ordinary" girl, but it was because of her You can live for yourself only if you are ordinary, and you can stay by Bai Lin's side alone, seeing him every day, hugging him, and doing shameful things with him... Thinking about it, Yuqian's face turned red up.

Lulu looked meaningfully at Yuqian's reddish cheeks, sighed softly, and said, "It's almost time, and it's time for us to act!"

It was only then that Youqian remembered that they still had business to do, she stood up abruptly, full of fighting spirit, and the brave aura hidden in her heart suddenly emerged.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the Gringotts Bank at the end of the street in Diagon Alley.Although the two of them didn't even order food, the owner of the ice cream shop still nodded and bowed to send them out almost obsequiously, as if Lulu came to sit for a while, it was giving him a big face.

As soon as she walked out of the store, several men in black followed her. Youqian couldn't help but be surprised, but when she saw one of them respectfully stepped forward to help Lulu carry her bag, she realized that it was Lulu Lou's follower.

Lulu held Yuqian's arm affectionately, and the two of them, like sisters, walked through the bustling streets with flowers and walked into the gate of Gringotts.

Three goblin staff were already standing at the inner door waiting for their arrival, among them was Christo, the key account manager who had entertained Bai Lin.

"Welcome, dear Miss Rose Delmo, it's a great honor to serve you!" Christo stepped forward and saluted gracefully. His eyes were almost crescent-shaped. For a big client like the Rose family, Just like his parents.

Lulu looked indifferent, as if she had changed from a considerate little sister to a cold-blooded and proud queen in an instant, she said coldly: "My time is precious, take me directly to the family treasury!"

With a flattering face, Christo rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Of course, my esteemed lady, Christo is at your service, please go this way~"

A group of people directly skipped all the queuing and waiting mechanisms, and directly boarded the trolley leading to the underground vault. By the way, this trolley was also specially made. It looked like a retro but more gorgeous carriage. It is more spacious and comfortable than ordinary mining cars, almost the difference between Rolls-Royce and Santana. It can be seen that Lulu enjoys treatment much higher than ordinary rich people, almost on the same level as the royal families of various countries.

Although she has been here once, Yuxi is still very curious about the underground vault of Gringotts. He looks out through the glass window at the intricate underground tracks and countless vault buildings, while Christo has been telling Lu Lu introduced the maintenance of the Rose family's vault, how often it is inspected, how many times a day it is inspected, etc. Generally speaking, your vault is as solid as a rock, and there will be no danger even if you use the army.

Lulu nodded noncommittally, and when the car stopped, a follower opened the door immediately, Lulu and Yuxi gracefully got out of the car, but when Christo was about to follow, he was stopped by a man in a suit wearing sunglasses.

"Just wait in the car, I'll be accompanied by professionals from the family." Lulu glanced at Christo from the corner of her eye, and then walked towards the magnificent door of the Ross family's vault.And Christo was stopped in the car by the man in the suit. Christo smiled dryly, and sat back honestly. He couldn't afford to provoke such a top rich man, and besides, he was already very "polite" .

As Lulu walked, she whispered to Yuqian, "The Seeker family has several vaults. According to the photos you provided, this one should be the one closest to our goal."

Youqian was once again astounded by the strength of Lulu's family, she should be the one who is so rich.

There are many statues of gargoyles at the entrance of this vault. When someone approaches, the eyeballs of the gargoyles light up like voice-activated lights, emitting a slight red light, but when Lulu steps forward, the red light turns to white light. The master should be detected.

Yuxi asked curiously in a low voice: "What will happen if you find out that the person who came is wrong?"

Lulu shrugged and said: "Warning will be issued, you can't go forward any more, if you touch the door of the vault before passing the first level, the treasure house inside will be transferred directly, and then there will be some unfriendly security measures .”

Yuqian looked at the dozens of gargoyles on both sides with half understanding, and swallowed. This kind of unfriendly security measure should be the gargoyles chopping up the thief.

Several attendants did not follow Lulu to approach the gate of the vault, but stood guard in front of the gate to prevent anyone from approaching. They held wands in their left hands and stretched their right hands into their arms. They should be touching guns. It is a wizard who cares about you. , Muggles, Spellbreakers, or any other monsters, they will all have the power to fight.

Lulu activated the door of the treasury in twos and threes. Behind the two of them, a square hole appeared on the ground, and a statue of an angel holding a sword rose from the ground, forming a shadow wall, preventing the outside from seeing the inside of the treasury. , and Lulu pulled Yuqian, and quickly got in through the opened door.

Yuqian originally thought that the vault was full of gold coins or other treasures, but when she went in, she was dumbfounded. It was so big that it was almost as big as a basketball court. A variety of machinery and weapons, black gun barrels, very strange-looking equipment, Yuqian was taken aback when she saw it.

Lulu took out a magic package and explained: "These are all the tatters left over from the war years. At that time, the evil black wizard research centers of the Axis countries created a lot of very dangerous equipment, most of which were left behind after the war. It was destroyed by the Allies, but for research purposes, the Ross family has sealed up some of the equipment so far, and they don’t know what it’s for, and they have to pay a lot of storage fees every year... Aha, no outsiders have ever come in except you.”

Youqian swallowed her saliva and said, "You won't kill someone to silence you..."

Lulu laughed and said, "Brother Carey is also a member of the Seeker family. If you follow him, you are on your own. Maybe I will give these things to him in the future!...You change these clothes superior!"

Yuqian took the package that Lulu handed over, opened it, and found a whole set of very retro witch costumes, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, from headwear to rings.

"They are all 1:1 replicas, they are absolutely the same!" Lulu took out a few more photos. In the photos, a woman with a killer haircut was the famous dead black witch, Bellatrix Lai. Strange.
