Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Chapter 215 Cyrus: Why wasn’t I the one to ask you questions? (page 12)

"Oh my God, that's a sphinx!"

Ron saw in the picture that Cyrus met a ferocious magical animal as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help but feel nervous for him.

The sphinx is no less dangerous than the fire dragon, especially since this thing can play tricks on wizards, but it looks even worse.

Although Ron had seen the scene of Cyrus subduing the fire dragon, he couldn't help but feel worried at this moment, because what he brought in was from his own perspective. If he were standing there at this moment, he would probably escape death.

"I wonder what question the Sphinx asked?" Ron couldn't hear the voice on the screen, but he still frowned. He thought that instead of being unable to answer the Sphinx's question and dying like a cat playing with a mouse, he might as well face the fire dragon!

He glanced at Hagrid and wanted to complain to Hagrid about the dangers of the Sphinx, but the big man bit his handkerchief tightly, looked delicate, and said with tears in his eyes:

"How cute it is!"

"I really hope Cyrus doesn't hurt it!"

Ron knew immediately that Hagrid was not a good person to talk to.

"Forget it, I should have some confidence in Cyrus." Ron shook his head, and then continued to look at the screen. He found that the Sphinx in the screen had moved out of the way, but before he could help Cyrus. Si was happy, but found that Cyrus had no intention of leaving.

"What happened?"

Time goes back a few minutes.

As soon as the Sphinx smelled the problem, it immediately opened its thick claws and spoke hoarsely.

"You have three chances to tell the answer."

It clearly looked like it was eager to kill Cyrus.

But Cyrus's mind was not on the puzzle itself, but on its claws.

These are obviously a pair of feline claws. The flesh balls are like fruit, but the claws are as sharp as daggers. As long as Cyrus gives the wrong answer three times, the Sphinx will immediately tear his body into pieces!

The Sphinx likes to guess riddles and then kill stupid people, but in fact, the riddle itself is part of its "magic", just like some black magic books can make a person only speak limericks in his life, unable to The person who answers the Sphinx's riddle will also be affected by the magic and become weaker.

Of course, refusing to answer has the same consequences.

Otherwise, why would such a creature tirelessly ask questions?

"The answer is fish."

Cyrus said the answer while thinking about which of the sphinx's balls was softer than the cat's balls.

This kind of brainteaser-like question couldn't stump him. To be honest, in terms of these questions, Ravenclaw's doorknob was more valuable. In comparison, Cyrus felt that that thing was much more "intelligent". .

The Sphinx was stunned. It didn't expect that Cyrus would tell the answer so easily.

Fish are alive, but they breathe through their gills, which is consistent with the fact that they have no breath, and their body temperature is also very low. They are cold when alive and dead. They are not thirsty, but they drink non-stop.

The Sphinx looked a little regretful. It seemed to think that Cyrus had a smart brain. If it ate Cyrus, maybe it could become a little smarter. But magic is a contract. Since Cyrus answered the question correctly, it can no longer attack Cyrus.

So it straightened its legs, and its huge body stood up like a mountain boulder, exposing the black floor under its belly, making way for Cyrus.

"You got the answer right, please move on!"

Its almond-like eyes looked at Cyrus, and at the same time, Cyrus also raised his head, and his red-gold eyes stared at the beast in front of him like a king.

Cyrus raised the corners of his lips coldly, but his steps remained motionless.

"When did I say you could leave?" He sneered, "I'm the only one who can answer your questions. That's so unfair."

"what?"

"Why don't you answer my question?"

The sphinx was stunned. Its almond-shaped eyes were as huge as copper bells. It never thought that one day it would become the subject of questions.

This is simply rebellion against Tiangang!

However, it quickly realized there was an opportunity.

If I answered the question raised by the wizard in front of me, would I break the previous magical contract, tear him into pieces, and eat his brain?

"Very well, you can ask." The Sphinx immediately agreed to Cyrus's request. It was very confident in itself and full of expectations at this moment.

Its eyes were full of murderous intent, but its human-like face still smiled, looking harmless. The Sphinx's body was lowered, and it only waited for Cyrus to ask questions, and then immediately gave the answer - this is indeed not difficult for it. The Sphinx's mind has been full of thoughts since he was born. Puzzles and answers - and then, it will kill the wise wizard!

"My problem is a difficult one," Sellers said with a smile. "What can fly but never walk, has a mouth but never speaks, has a head but never sheds tears, has a bed but never sleeps."

"A very good question." Sphinx, who originally wanted to answer immediately, paused, but the answer did not immediately come to his mind.

But after thinking for a short time, it immediately knew the answer to the mystery.

"It is a river," it said. "The river is rushing, but it cannot walk; it has an mouth that flows into the sea, but it never speaks; it has a source, but it never sheds tears; there is a river bed, but it flows continuously."

"It seems that this problem is not difficult for you." Although Cyrus said this, he was not surprised.

Riddles and answers seem to be the innate power of the Sphinx, especially these far-fetched puzzles, which they like even more.

Hearing this, the facial features of the smiling face of the Sphinx changed slightly. It looked very cruel at the moment. The gentle smile like a spring breeze bathing now looks like a ferocious beast!

In other words, it is a beast.

"If I win, then you can die here!"

It went crazy without warning!

The bent body flew out like a spring, and the huge wings spread out, making it look like a yellow lightning!

The thick and sharp claws pierced Cyrus's chest like a thrown spear!

Ron was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, but his fright was as fleeting as a spark, because in the picture, Cyrus didn't even pick up the wand, and directly used his wand. The sphinx's overly slender hands grabbed the opponent's claws!

next moment,

Boom! ! !

Ron couldn't hear the sound, but it seemed like even the picture was shaking!

Cyrus made a sliding tackle... no, an over-the-shoulder throw, which directly threw the Sphinx to the ground!

Then another punch hit the Sphinx in the head.

Ron's mind automatically matched the sound of bones breaking...

He shuddered, thinking that Cyrus without the wand might be more dangerous than Cyrus with the wand, at least the latter would make your death more pleasant...
