Harry Potter Reborn

Chapter 394 The Sphinx who likes to guess!

Harry only recognized that it was a man's voice, but he didn't know who it was.

He didn't pay attention and continued to move forward. In the middle of the road, a strange golden mist floated.

Nagini walked carefully ahead, pointing her wand at it.

She used two magic spells to attack the golden mist, and the spell passed right through the golden mist and had no effect on it.

Nagini looked back at Harry and said slowly: "Master, I'll go in first..."

She stammered and couldn't form words yet, 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 hung there upside down, her long hair hanging down.

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

Her feet are anchored in the earth.

Nagini looked down, and below was the boundless black night sky with brilliant stars.

Nagini didn't dare to pull her feet out from the grass. She was worried that once her feet left the ground, she would fall into the bottomless night sky.

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

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

Nagini only felt her top-heavy feeling turned upside down again.

The world returned to normal again, and Nagini knelt down on the solid ground.

I have a strong dizzy feeling of wanting to vomit.

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

When a line is crossed.

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

This is because there is a curse that wants to attack Harry, but it is blocked by Harry's magic.

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

The transformation spell set by Professor McGonagall.

Nagini spun around at Harry's feet a few times, and then used magic to return to her human form.

The darkness is getting thicker and thicker.

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

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

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

This is the mythical creature in ancient Egyptian mythology, the Sphinx, which is said to represent wisdom and knowledge.

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

But she has the head of a beautiful woman and a gentle appearance.

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

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

Without saying a word, Nagini raised her wand and began to chant: "Shatter into pieces..."

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

The Sphinx looked at Nagini strangely, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Bold monster, I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being, the mighty Tianlong..."

Harry: "..."

"Where did you hear that?" Harry asked.

The Sphinx raised her head and said proudly: "My wisdom can know the past and the future. This is a very popular saying in the future. I think it is very applicable, so I put it to use."

"I see."

Nagini looked at the Sphinx with hostility, Bah, you are not a human being.

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

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

"Then can't I take a detour?" Harry said calmly.

"Of course not. From the moment you see me, you have fallen into my realm. Only by passing my test can I let you pass."

"Do you sphinxes stop 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 claws back and said uneasily: "You, what are you going to do? I tell you, you are not allowed to use force in this level. Don't come over. If you come over again, I will call someone..."

Harry smiled and said: "You shout, no one will come even if your throat is broken."

Harry walked up to the Sphinx and looked at her carefully.

"I think you have Meowth blood. Are you a cat?" Harry asked.

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

"Then let me verify it."

Harry stretched out his magic hand, covered the Sphinx's soft golden hair, and then rubbed her head.

The Sphinx couldn't help but close her eyes, with a look of enjoyment and comfort on her face, and made a "hmm" sound from her nose.

But the comfortable feeling suddenly disappeared. It turned out that Harry moved his hand away.

Sphinx opened her 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 go, I will let you feel it again."

The Sphinx said: "Humph, if you still threaten me, won't I know how to touch my head myself?"

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

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

The Sphinx said tangledly: "No, this is my passive talent. Everyone who sees me must answer riddles."

"Then just ask a simple question." Harry suggested.

The Sphinx couldn't resist the temptation, she said: "Okay."

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

Before the Sphinx could finish speaking, Harry said: "Human."

"You answered it right." Sphinx smiled slightly.

Then he raised his head and looked at Harry.

Harry did not disappoint her and put his hand on the top of her head.

The Sphinx enjoyed it peacefully, and kept nudging Harry's palm with its head, making "meow, ow, ow..." sounds from its mouth.

Harry said: "Be my pet."

"Okay, meow... no..." The Sphinx suddenly woke up: "How can we, the Sphinx, accept humans as our masters? My companions will definitely laugh at me."

"Then if your master is smarter than you, is that okay?" Harry did not give up. The Sphinx was so interesting.

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

Harry said: "I'm asking you a question. If you can't answer it, then accept me as your master. If you can answer it correctly, I will be your pet. Is that fair?"

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

"Okay." Harry said with a smile on his face, "I don't mean to embarrass you, so I'm just going to ask you a basic question."

"There are two circles with a radius of one centimeter. Their centers are one centimeter apart. What is the area of ​​their overlapping parts?" Harry also thoughtfully used his wand to carve a diagram on the ground.

Sphinx: "???"

"You cheated. It's impossible to calculate this!" Sphinx said angrily.

"Who says it can't be done? It only requires 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 been calculated. You won't be cheating, will you?"

Sphinx's paws holding the scratch paper trembled slightly. Although she couldn't understand the calculation process, she knew that this was the correct answer.

"I lost." Sphinx said disappointedly.

"Don't be sad. It's not a shame to lose to your master." Harry rubbed the Sphinx's head vigorously.

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

"Of course, but let's call the master first..." Harry smiled.

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

Harry laughed and walked over with Nagini.

Nagini felt full of respect for Harry in her heart: He was indeed his master, nothing could be difficult for him.

Harry walked over not long after.

A boy also broke in. He was Polyarko Brown from Durmstrang School.

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

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

Polyarco Brown recognized her as the Sphinx with great confidence.

Because he knows that Sphinxes are a brainless race. A thousand years ago, they liked to ask the riddle about "people". Now when they meet wizards, they still ask this question, and it doesn't make sense at all.

So Polyarco Brown said, "Ask."

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

Polyarco Brown: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
