Chapter 191 Guessing Time
When Harry was still thinking about what happened just now—ah no, I mean, the moment of lingering fear, happened to be the moment when Maca met the Sphinx.
However, what Maca hates the most now is guessing riddles...
"What thing only goes up but not down? Go with me?" He thought for a while, and couldn't help saying, "...is it 'age'?"
The eyes of the sphinx were still closed, it was motionless, waiting in silence.
"What never lies, tells me the illusion of reality... Is it a 'mirror'?"
"So, the last sentence 'When you move forward with them, you will understand the gaps in life, and the ages of time' should say, 'As you grow older, the mirror will let you see the time that time has left on your face. The ravine, that is the vicissitudes of time'..."
According to this view, the answer is "wrinkles".
"No... there seems to be something wrong..." Maca didn't rush to say the answer, but thought carefully for a moment.
Then, suddenly, he shook his head as if remembering something.
"Tell me 'real illusion'?" He thought to himself, "If the answer to the second sentence is 'mirror', then the riddle should be 'false reality' to be more reasonable... From this point of view, the second sentence The words are obviously misleading..."
"A real illusion...a real...illusion?" He murmured several times in a low voice, and then suddenly said, "Could it be 'memory'?"
"It should be right... For an individual, memory will never 'lie' to oneself, it is a kind of 'truth' that 'only belongs to oneself'; but on the other hand, memory will always be An 'illusion' that 'only belongs to me'."
"Since it is 'memory', combined with the last sentence, 'life gap' undoubtedly refers to the trough of life such as mistakes made in life; There was no time to recover—"
"I see," Maca called to the sphinx, "the answer is 'sorry.'"
The Sphinx opened his eyes, took a deep look at Maca, and then nodded slightly.
"Dumbledore asked me to prepare a profound problem. I figured it out, but I didn't think anyone would answer it right." It said in a deep voice, "But I didn't expect that the wizard's wisdom shocked me—"
"Young wizard,
You are not misled by appearances, you have found out the real answer! I believe that you are worthy of my reward - tell me the clue of your 'treasure', and you will get the map fragment of the area where it is located! "
I have to say that this is indeed a very big reward—at least, for a normal contestant, there is no doubt about it.
The Sphinx stood up, a piece of parchment floated up from under it, lightly passed through the air, and fell into Maca's hand.
When he touched the piece of parchment, some fine ink lines gradually appeared on it, and there was a striking red dot in the middle—that should be where Luna was.
The classification level of Sphinx is "XXXX", but don't think that their combat power only reaches this level!
You know, the reason why they are classified in this level is that all sphinxes have similar or even surpass the wisdom of wizards, so they will not hurt people at will.
Even Maca would not be willing to fight an angry sphinx. Not to mention whether he can beat it, even if Maca can defeat it, it will consume a lot of time and energy-this is undoubtedly an act that is not worth the candle right now.
Maca compared the route map he drew, and after carefully checking the three existing map fragments, he finally found some clues.
"It's no wonder that the map fragments are all square, but there are only eight of them... These fragments are not just a simple puzzle, they can be partially overlapped?"
When Maca discovered that the corner of the fragment of the first map he got from the box was exactly the same as the corner of the fragment of Luna's area, he came to this conclusion.
But it is a pity that the routes he has traveled now do not match any of the map fragments. That is to say, he must continue to explore the way forward...
Maca gave a slight nod to the sphinx who was hiding aside, then passed by it and walked towards the intersection ahead.
Exploring the map is boring, but it wouldn't be so bad if there were always some interesting gadgets popping up on the road. Not long after, when Maca turned a corner again, a group of creatures that looked like elves appeared in front of him chirping.
These little creatures were about three feet tall, with pointed faces, and were wrapped in some dirty cloth strips to cover certain vital parts. They kept calling, noisy and piercing, but with an inexplicable attraction.
Especially for little ones!
Maca quickly identified that this was a small group of "evil spirits".
They are very repulsive little creatures that will often dazzle small children with a sort of "clack" cry, before luring them away from their guardians and eating them brutally.
They also use some natural talent spells, but they are not as strong as elves - that is not what they are good at.
Maca just waved his wand a few more times, releasing several beams of red magic light, scaring these evil but cowardly Evil Spirits into fleeing.
Of course, he didn't wave his magic wand in vain. The four dwarfs on the ground who fell into a deep coma at the moment are the best proof.
But just as Maca was about to step over them and continue forward, he saw a girl rushing out of a corner ahead.
"Miss Delacour?" Maca just said, but immediately pointed the wand in her hand at the other party, "No, you are not Delacour, who are you?"
The other party's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
When Maca first saw her, he immediately felt a strange feeling rising from his heart. It is not, however, the veela-specific attraction to the opposite sex, but something rather similar, yet quite different.
That feeling, like...
"...This is, **?" Maca frowned slightly, with some judgment in his heart, "Are you a succubus?"
"I didn't expect that besides Dumbledore, there are people in this world who can recognize our succubus..." The other party looked at Malcador curiously, and then said, "Young man, although he is not very handsome, he looks It's cold...do you have a good temperament?"
"I didn't expect that there are still succubi in this world," Maca said thoughtfully, "I thought you were completely extinct?"
"It's not polite to speak, little guy, don't you have no manners?"
"Of course you can ask me to be polite..." Maka raised her eyebrows suddenly as she said, a very thin red light shot out from the tip of the staff, and landed precisely on the opponent's foot that just moved, "Don't move... …how about I ask you a question and you go your way and I go mine?"
"Can I ask you a question first?" The other party rolled his eyes and said depressedly, "Why does my charm talent have no effect on you at all? How did you do it?"
Maca shook his head and said, "It's not completely ineffective, it's just that the effect is very weak."
Succubus's charm talent can indeed arouse men's physical desires, but if Maca's emotions are not affected, then the charm effect will naturally be weakened by half.
"As for how to do it... This is the second question, so I don't think I need to answer it." He continued, "It's my turn to ask, the question is very simple - what is the reason for the talent of your succubus to change appearance?"
"Principle?" The other party thought for a while, then spread his hands and said, "I don't understand the principle, I can only tell you that what you see of me is just a 'shell'."
The "shell" in her mouth certainly did not refer to the real shell, Maca figured it out soon.
"In other words, is this actually an illusion talent?" He couldn't help muttering to himself.
It is rumored that the "Disguise Magus talent" who can change his appearance by birth, the source of his talent blood is Succubus (female) and Nightmare (male) - Maca has seen it in several magic books.
He was quite curious about this talent, but he was still unable to start researching it.
Whether it is the rare Disguise Magus talent, or the even rarer, even extinct Succubus and Nightmare, they cannot be found easily.
But now, he encountered a genuine succubus in the maze of the three-final match, so why don't he hurry up and ask why?
But looking at it now, this rumor is probably just a rumor——Disguise Magus is a talent spell that is closer to Transfiguration, while Succubus' Disguise talent is illusion. It doesn't matter at all.
"Can I go?" The succubus who turned into a lotus asked again, spreading her hands.
"Of course, please!" Maca pointed to the road he came from, passed by her, and left first.
The succubus looked back at Maca's back, but felt a little apprehensive.
Succubus' frontal combat ability is extremely low. Although the magic resistance of their bodies is not low, their physical strength and magic power are very bad. Once a direct conflict occurs, it is even difficult for them to fight back.
But fortunately, there are still very few people like Maca who are almost immune to charm, so the classification level of succubus has always been ranked high. Even though they are almost extinct now, they are still famous in the "XXXXX" category!
"Old man like Dumbledore is fine, at least he has strength and age... But what's the matter with this little guy?" A child is crushed to death... How can I play this? My old lady quit!"
After all, she simply squatted down on the spot—the ruffian appearance combined with Fu Rong's elegant appearance, there was an indescribable weirdness.
