Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort - Chapter 215

c215 Cyrus: Why don’t I ask you questions?

“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. Just wait for Cyrus to give the wrong answer to the riddle three times, and 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 will have the same consequences.

Otherwise, why would such a creature tirelessly ask questions?

“The answer is fish.”

Cyrus said the answer while thinking about whether the sphinx’s balls were 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 give 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, have a mouth but never speak, have a head but never shed tears, have a bed but never sleep.”

“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 estuary that enters the sea, but it never speaks; it has a source, but it never sheds tears; there is a river bed, but the flow never stops.”

“It seems that this question is not difficult for you.” Although Cyrus said so, he was not surprised.

The answer to the riddle seemed to be a natural power in the Sphinx’s mind, especially these irrelevant riddles, which they liked.

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

Or, it was originally a beast.

“I won, so you can die here!”

It went crazy without any warning!

The bent four bodies flew out like springs, and the huge wings spread out, making it look like a yellow lightning!

The thick and sharp claws pierced Cyrus’ chest like a flying spear!

Ron was so frightened that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, but his shock was as fleeting as a spark, because in the picture, Cyrus didn’t even pick up the wand, and directly grabbed the opponent’s claws with his hands that were too slender compared to the Sphinx!

The next moment,

Boom! ! !

Ron couldn’t hear the sound, but it seemed that even the picture was shaking!

Cyrus slid… no, an over-the-shoulder throw, and directly threw the Sphinx to the ground!

Then another punch hit the Sphinx’s head.

Ron’s mind automatically matched the sound of broken bones…

He shuddered, thinking that Cyrus without the wand might be more dangerous than Cyrus with the wand, at least the latter would make you die more painfully…

“Oh! Poor Sphinx, I knew it would be unlucky to meet Cyrus!” Hagrid cried like a 300-pound child.

Ron patted Hagrid on the shoulder. This was the only time he sincerely comforted Hagrid.

His sight returned to Cyrus again.

“Do you think I will let you go if you tell me the answer? I have no magic constraints.”

He sneered at the Sphinx who had fainted.

Although this magical animal would let the person who gave the answer go by answering the question, Cyrus did not like the monster who self-righteously pulled others into his own rules and self-righteously let the enemy go, leaving a good story.

Isn’t this PUA?

Then, he ignored the Sphinx and threw it down, continuing to walk deeper into the Ministry of Magic.

The most important thing now is to determine the floor he is on and the passage to the other floor. After the Ministry of Magic closed the elevator, Cyrus was not sure where else he could go to the other floor.

Walking alone in the empty black corridor, it was a little darker here than when Cyrus came here a few times before. The fire and lights in the Ministry of Magic were extinguished. If you want a bright environment, you can only create it yourself.

Cyrus didn’t think anything was wrong, as he could see clearly even in the dark, but the other contestants were different.

The third floor of the Ministry of Magic.

Fleur quickly repelled a ghoul, then swung the bright front end of her wand at the devil’s snares that looked like a group of snakes.

The devil’s snares began to retreat under the light, leaving a narrow path.

“Ultimate fluorescent flash!”

Her magic illuminated the dark environment around her, the black marble reflected the light, and the darkness in every corner seemed to be invisible.

Seeing this, Fleur breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in her heart dissipated a lot along with the darkness.

But what she didn’t know was that in a completely unfamiliar environment, the light was as obvious as a torch and a lighthouse, attracting monsters to gather in groups!

Fleur soon heard some strange noises coming from the end of the dark and deep narrow road.

Her fear came again, her body half-bent, her beautiful eyes staring at the dark shadows.

The shadow seemed to swallow her up.

She lowered her breathing, and the “tapping” sound in her ears kept coming, and it became clearer and clearer! Louder and louder!

She felt as if the ground under her feet was shaking, and there seemed to be thousands of troops rushing towards her in the darkness!

Furong was not wrong.

The dark shadow seemed to be stained with a fiery red color in an instant, and then it seemed to move. No, it should be said that something in the shadow was moving in groups!

Furong quickly recognized those things – they looked like turtles, and they had many shell-wrapped feet like crabs –

Those densely packed limbs hit the ground, making a numbing sound.

“Fire crab?”

The fire crab with a danger level of only three Xs did not seem to be a threat, but the premise was that its number could not be too large.

But at this moment –

They were just like a swarm of locusts!

Furong’s heart was suddenly filled with fear. She took a deep breath, and without any thought of breaking through, she turned around and ran back without hesitation!

Thousands of fire crabs swarmed over the sky and the earth, devouring everything in their path.

The Devil’s Nets that had spread again after Furong left were eaten up in an instant, leaving no debris behind!

But these monsters had no intention of stopping.

Sparks spewed from their tails, pushing them forward quickly, constantly closing the distance between themselves and Furong.

All the audience who saw this scene couldn’t help but feel terrified. If they were caught by these things, they would be dead in just a few minutes!

Countless crab-like claws would tear every piece of your skin to pieces and then put it into their mouths to eat!

Except Hagrid, Hagrid didn’t think they were in danger.

“It would be interesting if it was a blasting-tailed skrewt.” He said.

Ron rolled his eyes on the side. If it was really a blasting-tailed skrewt, Fleur Delacour would die even faster.

In fact, he was now thinking about how Fleur could get away?

You know, the warriors have no way out!

Sure enough, Fleur soon reached the end.

She was teleported by the apparition of the door key, but after the door handle took effect, the spell on it disappeared, and now this road is a dead end!

Fleur gritted her teeth tightly, she turned around, holding the wand in her hand, and planned to go all out.

But at this moment, a clear spell came from the depths of the dark passage.

“Petrify all!”

Then, in the deepest darkness at the end of the corridor, it seemed as if a sun rose!

The light of the spell illuminated the darkness, like a meteor passing through the dome, throwing out a beautiful arc, and falling on the large group of fire crabs at the front.

The fire crabs at the front were immediately affected by the spell and turned into hard stones, which disrupted the pace of the fire crabs behind. They immediately collided with each other, triggering a chain reaction, piling up like waves!

Those intertwined limbs were tangled together, making it difficult to separate them for a while.

Furong was stunned for a moment, and another spell flew from the darkness!

“Smash to pieces!”

“Pop!”

With a bang, those fire crabs that gathered into a tower and piled into a mountain immediately exploded under the power of the spell!

The power of the spell brought the debris of the fire crabs and poured onto Fleur’s face like sand!

It was just that simple, and Fleur’s crisis was resolved!

But she was not happy at all.

Because the style of casting the spell had made her guess who was helping her.

Sure enough, Cassandra, wearing a raspberry red robe, walked out of the darkness. She held the wand like a hairpin, and looked at Fleur with green eyes.

“It seems that the warriors of Beauxbatons are a bit unworthy of their reputation? They can’t even deal with a few fire crabs. Why don’t you withdraw now?”

Cassandra stepped on the corpses of the fire crabs with a cat step.

Even if those fire crabs died, their bodies seemed to have some magical properties left.

Every step Cassandra took, sparks popped out from under her feet.

It was like a blazing flower blooming for her!
