After the small interlude, the two of them continued to move forward.
The Undead Guards were at the forefront of the group.
After activating the graveyard domain.
Matthew could clearly feel that the tense atmosphere from before had disappeared a lot.
Perhaps the nervousness came from the unknown.
After all, his previous perception had been weakened too much. It was equivalent to a blind man exploring an unfamiliar place. The invisible pressure would be multiplied.
Fifteen minutes later.
They silently passed through the corridor and the underground hall that was used for unknown purposes.
According to the map.
He was only one step away from the sacrifice room.
This was much smoother than they had expected.
There were very few undead guards in the underground tomb. There were traps, but they were relatively easy to detect.
Margaret didn’t try to remove the trap, and the two chose to avoid it.
However, the reason why the two of them had snuck here so smoothly was due to Rheagar’s map.
Without the cooperation of this filial son and grandson.
It was absolutely impossible for Matthew and Margaret to be so relaxed.
In front of them was the door to the sacrifice room.
It was an extremely magnificent stone door that was seven to eight meters tall.
Its thickness could not be seen, but it was definitely very solid.
Margaret took a step forward.
She silently read the words on the door:
“This is the place where the Suki is sacrificed, and the treasures are covered in dust.
“If you want to enter, just Imock on the door three times.” There seemed to be no trap.
The two of them used spells to repeatedly investigate.
Margaret gestured for Matthew to take a few steps back.
Then, she gently knocked on the stone door.
There was no movement from the stone door.
However, the space in front of them suddenly distorted.
A sphinx with a human face suddenly appeared in front of them.
When the monster saw them, it asked coldly, “Which one of you will answer my question?”
Margaret’s eyes lit up.
“Sphinx?”
Matthew had heard of the legendary treasure keepers who often appeared in underground cities, tombs, or mazes.
Every Sphinx had at least the strength of a Half-Legend. They were a strange race that controlled a little power of time.
The Sphinx kept a promise that no one knew about with the timeline.
Only a few powerful beings could form a contract with the Sphinx and let them guard their treasures.
And those who wanted to covet these treasures only had two choices when facing the Sphinx.
Either answer the Sphinx’s question and if you answer correctly, you’ll pass; If the answer were wrong, the Sphinx would kill them.
Of course, you can also choose not to answer the question and leave it on the spot.
Most Sphinxes were easy to talk to and were usually willing to forgive those who accidentally encountered them.
However, if they were unlucky enough to run into a few hot-tempered sphinxes.
They could only bite the bullet and answer the question.
Of course, there was another option, which was to beat the Sphinx up.
Matthew glanced at Margaret.
Good heavens.
She looked restless.
Was 4.6 million so much to boost one’s confidence?
He gently pulled Margaret.
“Why don’t I try answering first?”
Margaret thought about it and agreed.
So Matthew went to the Sphinx. “I’ll answer. You ask.”
The Sphinx stared at Matthew silently. He thought for about three minutes, then suddenly said,
If you are a devout believer and an unbeliever asks you this question”Do you believe that the God you believe in is omnipotent?
“If it was omnipotent, can God create an existence that can defeat himself?
“May I ask how you should respond to this unbeliever?”
This was a philosophical question that would put one in a circular argument.
Margaret immediately frowned.
The Sphinx said gently,
“I know this question is a little too difficult, so I can give you 30 minutes. In these 30 minutes, you can use all your resources or connections to find the answer to the question.
“I will kill you in thirty minutes.” Matthew rolled his eyes.
“I don’t need as long as thirty minutes.”
The Sphinx looked at him calmly.
“Oh, tell me.”
He didn’t seem to be optimistic about Matthew’s answer, and there was a hint of carelessness in his eyes. However, in the next second.
Matthew replied,
“I will kill the non-believer immediately!”
The Sphinx looked at him in surprise.
“You, you…However, your behaviour is not rational or wise. This will not solve the problem. ”
Matthew shrugged innocently.
‘ You’re already assuming that I’m a devout believer. Will I be rational when I face someone who blasphemes my beliefs?
‘ When you can’t solve the problem, solving the person who raised the problem is also a potential way of thinking.”
The Sphinx looked like he was struggling.
‘ Although I’m very reluctant, your answer is logically clear.
“Damn it, if I had known there was such a method, I would have been able to perfectly counterattack that human when he asked me this question!”
Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.
“So, can we go in now?
The Sphinx looked at him deeply.
” You necromancers always open my eyes. Go in, but you two can only take one item at most and leave immediately. If I find out that you took one more item, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth..”
