Chapter 2679

"Crap."

In the brief silence, a slight noise caught everyone's attention, and everyone looked around, trying to find the place where the sound came from.

"What's that sound?" Dominique asked.

Georgiana wondered if she should say it, because it sounded like an egg hatching.

Then there was another sound.

"over there!"

A guard pointed to a sphinx sculpture, and all eyes were on it.

This sphinx is very well carved and looks like a prostrate lion with a male face, but unfortunately there is a crack from the right face to the chest, which spoils the overall beauty.

"How could there be a crack?" St. Tyrrell said.

"Not before?" asked Georgiana.

Before St. Tyrrell could reply, there was another crisp sound, the crack widened, and a spiderweb-like crack spread all over the Sphinx's right face, and then a small stone fell down, and everyone saw it One closed eye.

She felt that everyone present was holding their breath.

After two seconds of silence, the closed eye opened, the color of which reminded Georgiana of the blue flames of the Goblet of Fire.

Immediately afterwards, the prostrate Sphinx "stands up", as if it has been covered with mud and dried to form a "rock". After it wakes up, as the lion shakes its mane, these "Stones" and dust were flying everywhere.

Then, it was already strong and twice the size of an ordinary sphinx. It stood on the booth, looking down at the humans on the ground, and its blue eyes swept over everyone as if they were searching for something.

"Don't worry!" St. Tyrell exclaimed. "It won't eat people."

"What?" Aston Martin asked.

"If you can't answer the question of the female sphinx, you will be eaten, which is the male." Saint-Tirrell said "The female sphinx represents the punishment of the gods, and the male sphinx represents... ..."

"Roar~~~~~"

The newly awakened male sphinx let out a roar.

"Represents kindness and justice." St. Tirell said without confidence.

"Really?" Figo asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, the male sphinx jumped off the platform and fell to the ground.

Because it has a human face, it can speak human words, but unfortunately no one can understand what he said.

It may be that it sensed the blankness of human expressions, so it changed a language.

"...who... defiled..." Georgiana said.

"What?" Dominic asked.

"He's speaking Greek, and who knows Greek?" Georgiana asked.

Everyone looked at her.

"I've just started to learn, only a little bit!" She said in frustration.

Then the Sphinx noticed this little commotion, and it came up to Georgiana.

When it got closer, Georgiana saw how huge it was, said the sphinx, sniffing at her.

"I smell a snake, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" said Georgiana at once.

"Lie!" said the Sphinx angrily.

Georgiana took a step back in fright, and Figo immediately rushed in front of her, blocking the Sphinx.

Serpent and snake both refer to snakes. The difference is that serpent often refers to the snake that tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Bible, as well as a monster-like giant snake, or a cunning person.

"You mean the basilisk?" Georgiana asked immediately.

"No!" Sphinx roared, "It's something else, you fouled!"

Then it looked at Brick.

"And you, carry unclean things."

Georgiana thought for a moment and stroked the back of her neck.

"You mean I've violated a taboo?" Georgiana asked.

"Creation must not violate the precepts," said the Sphinx. "I can smell it, but not you."

"What's it saying?" Brick asked.

"It's talking to us about the law of magic," Georgiana said. "Someone violated it, left a trail on me, and it smelled it."

"Wow." Brick sighed, "I can't see that you are such a person."

"I said so, not me!" argued Georgiana.

"Who else could it be?" Brick asked.

She remembered someone.

"Tom Riddle," she whispered, looking at the Sphinx. "He made a Horcrux and once possessed me."

The Sphinx looked into her eyes as if he could see into her soul.

"Where is he?" asked the Sphinx.

"Another world," Georgiana replied.

"Do you know which taboo he violated?" asked the Sphinx.

"Our understanding may be different from that of Egypt. He violated the first article of Wofulin's law and tampered with the deepest mysteries at will, the source of living things and the essence of self." Georgiana replied.

"Has he been punished?" asked the Sphinx.

"I don't know, I only know that most of his horcruxes were destroyed by the poison of the basilisk, which was first created by Hypor."

"That is to say, the Creator devoured the Lord?" Sphinx said.

Georgiana never thought of that.

After all, the Horcrux is also Hypor's creation, although it carries Hypor's soul.

"It's not the basilisk's own will." She said somewhat inarticulately, "The basilisk died, its fangs were pulled out, and it destroyed the Horcrux with its fangs."

"What are you talking about?" asked the Sphinx, confused.

Georgiana didn't know whether the Greek word order she just said was correct, but she tried her best.

"You can communicate with me directly," Sphinx said.

"You mean...with psychic magic?" Georgiana asked.

The Sphinx remained silent, as if acquiescing.

"Well, I'll give you the memory so you can read it yourself," said Georgiana, taking her wand from the sleeve of her lady's gauntlet.

"Can anyone explain what's going on?" Leon Cavallo asked.

"Yes, can you explain your origin, sir?" Georgiana asked the Sphinx.

"That's why I ask you to communicate directly with me," Sphinx said.

"Can you find someone who speaks Greek...Wait, where's Ferri?" Georgiana asked aloud.

No one spoke.

"I think she might be in the castle," Figor said.
