Accidentally reincarnated into a magic book

Chapter 41 Quick Questions Quick Answers
"Wait a mininute."

Su Le interrupted the Sphinx, even though the huge monster looked eager to speak, he spoke impassionedly.

But even if he was embarrassed, Su Le still had to interrupt him.

"What do you want to say?"

"The normal puzzles are too easy for me, how about we do something a little harder this time?"

"Well... then how do you compare?"

"How about quick questions and quick answers?"

"Quick question, quick answer? What do you mean?"

"The puzzles you mentioned are too simple. As the patron saint of wisdom, you are too unchallenging. The so-called wisdom is not only necessary to solve puzzles, but knowledge is also a necessary ability. This time we will increase knowledge. How about the competition?"

"You...you mean to count ordinary questions into the puzzle?"

The sphinx lowered its head and met its paws.

"what?"

This reaction was somewhat beyond Su Le's expectations. I thought that guy would readily agree, but I didn't expect to say so reluctantly.

"What's the matter? It looks like it's very difficult."

"I... I have been living in the maze, and I don't know what's going on outside."

The Sphinx looked aggrieved, but it quickly puffed up its chest, and said, "If it's just a matter in this maze, I won't lose to anyone!"

What a jackpot!

Su Le was delighted in his heart. Originally, he planned to put forward additional conditions after proposing the rules of the competition, narrowing the scope of questions to this abyss maze. After all, he came here from another world and was not familiar with the outside world. Even with the help of the gods, I'm afraid there will be times when I fall into the ditch.

He had already figured out how to trick the Sphinx into agreeing in his mind before, but he didn't expect this guy to offer help in a timely manner, and offered to narrow the scope. There is no reason to refuse the delicious meal delivered to the door, so Su Le naturally had to agree.

"Since this is the case, I will reluctantly agree. How about narrowing the scope to something related to this abyss labyrinth?"

"Hoohoo, then prepare yourself to be eaten."

"Well, even if the difficulty is lowered, I have no intention of admitting defeat. Let me tell you first, ordinary puzzles are also acceptable, and encyclopedic questions about this abyss maze are also acceptable. After asking the question, you must answer it within ten seconds. Whoever can't answer it first will count." lose."

"No problem at all."

"Then, these four adventurers will serve as referees and witnesses to prevent some people from cheating."

"I...I won't cheat!"

"Oh, then why do I remember that someone lost once before and didn't admit it?"

"That's because you are too cunning!"

"Anyway, if you cheat again this time, I will make your viciousness public. From now on, no one will accompany you to guess riddles, and you will spend the rest of your life alone in this maze."

"I know, I know, I swear in the name of Lord Celestine, I won't cheat, are you satisfied now?"

"Very well, now you guys stand aside."

Su Le winked at the four people beside him, and the four people nodded blankly, it seemed that they hadn't recovered from the shock.

"Master Magic Book, could it be that you knew Sphinx before?"

"Well, I've been blocked by him before, but I answered his questions correctly and he let me go."

"Are you sure this time?" Pell squeezed the bow and arrow in his hand. After all, if you lose, you will be eaten. No matter how you say it, it is a matter of life and death, and nervousness is inevitable.

"Don't worry, there's no problem." Su Le smiled easily and drove the adventurers aside.

Can't let these four adventurers get in the way here, this is also to prevent the Sphinx from suddenly turning his face and denying them, and they can escape the scene in time.

Of course, these are all backup measures. This time Su Le is not just about winning.

"Hey, magic book, are you ready?"

"You can do it at any time. Since you lost to me last time, let me give you the opportunity to ask questions first, or you will say that I am a bully."

"You...you remember it for me." Sphinx opened his bloody mouth and roared. Although he looked very angry, he finally accepted the right to ask questions first.

"Listen, what can't you eat?"

"Things are directions, so they can't be eaten." Su Le gave the answer almost at the same time as the question was asked.

Sphinx's face was livid, and it seemed that he was full of confidence in his own question.

"Uh...you are amazing." Sphinx spewed out a burst of hot air from his nose, and he waved his paw, "It's you instead."

"Okay, something has four legs in the morning and two legs at noon..."

"The answer is people!"

"Oh, not bad, I'll rush to answer."

"Hmph, listen well, I am a Sphinx, the guardian of wisdom in the abyss labyrinth, so is my gender male or female?"

[Appearance certified as male. 】

It seems that there is no need for Su Le to hide and think, Lord God knows the answer immediately.

But there is a trap in it, probably God knows the adults did not find it.

"You are a monster, so you can't be called male and female. If you have to say it, you should be male."

"Damn it, it was discovered by you."

"It's my turn, what's in between good and bad?"

"Hahaha, this doesn't bother me, the middle of good and bad is and!"

"Not bad, not bad, getting smarter."

"Then, I continue to ask questions. Since you want to test your knowledge, I ask you, who is the wisest and most knowledgeable in this abyss labyrinth?"

"..."

"What's the matter, don't you dare to answer?"

"No, I just think you are too shameless."

"Hmph, why do you say that?"

"Because... because, everyone knows that the most knowledgeable and wisest person in this abyss maze, besides Celestine in the maze, is you, the Sphinx."

"Oh, yes, yes, I like your answer very much."

The Sphinx laughed heartily.

In other words, this is simply using power for personal gain. Do you want people to praise him that much?This guy must be very lonely in the dungeon.

But now that he is so happy, it's almost time. Su Le asked him a very simple question just now, just to prepare for the next step.

"It's time for me to ask a question, and this time I will also ask a question related to the maze."

Su Le took a deep breath, and said loudly. "There is a secret room at the bottom of the abyss maze where treasures are stored, but no matter how many people enter, only one person can come out according to the regulations. Now one person has come out of the secret room with the treasure, and two people are trapped in the secret room. May I ask how to open the gate and let those two people out."

"Hmm..." Sphinx didn't expect such a question, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Hey, you only have ten seconds to think, so don't think too long."

"It's a secret, and you are not allowed to tell it." Sphinx asked why.

"Is that so? Then you mean to admit defeat. If that's the case, please step aside from the door."

"Wait...wait." The Sphinx shouted hastily, "Who, who surrendered!"

He rolled his eyes and suddenly grinned, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, anyway, you are the one who loses in the end. As long as I eat you, no one will spread this secret."

"Why so much nonsense, tell me the answer quickly, or it will be too late."

"The sword of dead bones is the key to that door, and it can only be opened with the sword of dead bones."
