Reborn Harry Potter

Chapter 394 The Sphinx Who Likes to Guess Riddles!

All Harry could recognize was a man's voice, but Harry didn't know who it was.

He didn't care, and continued to move forward. In the middle of a road, there was a strange golden mist floating.

Nagini walked carefully ahead, pointing at it with his wand.

She used two spells to attack the golden mist, and the spell went straight through the golden mist without affecting it.

Nagini glanced back at Harry, and said slowly, "Master...man, I...go in first..."

She stuttered, unable to form words, like a babbling baby trying to speak for the first time.

Nagini took a deep breath and rushed into the enchanted mist.

The world suddenly turned upside down.

Nagini hangs upside down, his long hair hanging down.

The earth became the sky, and the sky became the abyss.

Her feet are anchored in the ground.

Nagini's eyes looked down to the endless, star-studded black night sky below.

Nagini dared not pull her feet off the grass, she was afraid that once her feet left the ground, she would fall into the bottomless night sky.

"This is the "Reversal Curse" invented by Professor Flitwick. It's not surprising that you don't know how to break it." Harry walked in, and he walked on the grass like a normal person.

Harry picked up Nagini's clothes and pulled Nagini out like a carrot.

Nagini felt only top-heavy feeling upside down again.

The world returned to normal, and Nagini fell to his knees on the solid ground.

There is a strong dizzy feeling of wanting to vomit.

After a while, the two walked out of the golden mist.

……

when crossing a line.

The surface of Harry's body suddenly lit up and made a clanging sound.

This is a spell that wants to attack Harry, but is blocked by Harry's magic.

The unsuspecting Nagini disappeared with a "poof", and a little white rabbit appeared on the ground.

The Transfiguration Charm set by Professor McGonagall.

Nagini spun a few times around Harry's feet, then magically returned to human form.

The darkness is getting thicker.

Then, walking down a long, straight path, Harry noticed movement again.

An extremely strange monster appeared in front of her. Her body exuded a light yellow light, illuminating the surrounding darkness, which was very strange.

There is information about her in Hagrid's "Monster Book of Monsters": Sphinx.

This is the god in ancient Egyptian mythology, the sphinx, which in legends represents wisdom and knowledge.

Her body was that of a terrifyingly large lion, with huge paws, and a long golden tail with a tuft of hair at the tip.

But she had the head of a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance.

When Harry came around the corner, she turned her head and looked at him with long almond eyes.

Sphinx lay quietly on the ground, not ready to pounce.

Without further ado, Nagini raised his wand and was about to chant a spell: "To pieces..."

But Harry reached out and took Nagini's wand, smiling, "Don't worry."

Sphinx looked at Nagini strangely, his voice was a little hoarse: "Bold monster, I can tell you are not human at a glance, Dawei Tianlong..."

Harry: "..."

"Where did you hear that?" Harry asked.

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 use it."

"I see."

Nagini looked at Sphinx hostilely, bah, you are not human.

"Come to me," said the Sphinx, "you are very close to your goal."

"But you can only pass if you answer my question correctly."

"Then can't I make a detour?" Harry said unhurriedly.

"Of course not. Since you saw me, you have fallen into my domain. Only by passing my test can I let you pass."

"Are you Sphinxes stopping others from doing this every day?"

"It has nothing to do with you. You 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 stepped closer to the Sphinx.

The Sphinx moved its paws back, and said anxiously: "You, what are you going to do. Let me tell you, you are not allowed to use force in this level. Don't come here. If you come here again, I will call someone..."

Harry laughed and said, "Yell, even if you yell out your throat, no one will come."

Harry walked up to the Sphinx and studied her carefully.

"I think you have cat blood, are you a feline?" Harry asked.

"What kind of cat?" Sphinx said angrily, "I am a noble Sphinx, and you compare me with a cat."

"Then let me verify."

Harry stretched out his palm, covering the Sphinx's soft golden hair, and then rubbed her head.

The Sphinx couldn't help closing his eyes, with a face of enjoyment and comfort, and a "huh-huh" sound from his nose.

But the comfortable feeling disappeared instantly, and it turned out that Harry had moved his hand away.

Sphinx opened his eyes and said nervously: "What did you do to me, did you control me with a spell?"

Harry asked back, "Do you like this feeling? If you let me pass, I'll let you feel it again."

Sphinx said: "Huh, you still threaten me, so I won't touch my head?"

The Sphinx raised its thick, furry paws and pressed them on the top of his head, but his hair was all messed up, and he didn't feel like Harry did just now.

Harry waved his hand with a smile: "If you miss this village, you won't have this store."

The Sphinx said in confusion: "No, this is my passive talent. Anyone who sees me must answer the riddle."

"Then you can ask a simple question." Harry suggested.

The Sphinx, unable to resist the temptation, said, "All right."

She blinked and said, "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? When it has the most legs..."

Before the Sphinx finished speaking, Harry said, "Man."

"You're right." Sphinx smiled.

Then he looked up and looked at Harry.

Not letting her down, Harry put his hand on top of her head.

The Sphinx enjoyed it with peace of mind, and kept rubbing his head against Harry's palm, making a "meow..." sound from his mouth.

Harry said, "Be my pet."

"Okay meow... no..." Sphinx suddenly woke up: "How can we Sphinx recognize human beings as masters, my companions will definitely laugh at me."

"Then if your master's wisdom surpasses yours, isn't that all right?" Harry didn't give up, the sphinx was so interesting.

"Do you think you're smarter than me?" Sphinx's eyes widened.

Harry said, "I'll ask you a question. If you can't answer it, then accept me as master. If you can answer it correctly, I'll be your pet. Fair enough?"

Sphinx said confidently: "Then you are finished, you can be my pet and rub my head every day."

"Okay." Harry said with a smile on his face, "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, so I just asked 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 thoughtfully carved a diagram on the ground with his wand.

Sphinx: "???"

"You cheated, it's impossible to calculate!" Sphinx said angrily.

"Who says it's impossible, you only need a little knowledge of calculus..." A piece of manuscript paper appeared in Harry's hand, and he wrote and drew on it: "Look, it's calculated. You won't play tricks, will you?"

The paws of the Sphinx holding the draft paper trembled slightly. Although she couldn't understand the calculation process, she just knew that this was the correct answer.

"I lost." Sphinx said disappointedly.

"Don't be sad, losing to your master is nothing to be ashamed of." Harry rubbed the Sphinx's head vigorously.

Sphinx said: "I can't go with you now, I have to go back to Egypt and tell my parents about my bet with you."

"Of course, but let the master come and listen first..." Harry smiled.

The beautiful face of the Sphinx turned red, and she shyly shouted: "Master meow..."

Harry laughed and walked over with Nagini.

Nagini felt admiration for Harry in his heart: he is worthy of being the master, nothing can stop him.

……

It wasn't long before Harry walked by.

A boy also barged in. He was Poliako Brown of Durmstrang School.

It seems that he was very lucky, and encountered few obstacles along the way.

Sphinx said: "Answer my riddle, guess once - I will let you pass, if you don't guess or don't answer - you can only stay here honestly."

Polyarco Brown recognized her as a sphinx with confidence.

Because he knew that the Sphinx was a dead-brained race. They liked to ask the riddle about "people" 1000 years ago. Now when they meet wizards, they still ask this question, and it doesn't work at all.

So Polyarco Brown said, "Ask."

The Sphinx showed a friendly smile: "There are two intersecting circles on the ground, and their radius is one centimeter. What is the overlapping area?"

Poliaco Brown: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
