Chapter 1087: Searching for Secrets in the Sea of Sand (9)
After arriving at the outskirts of Zvar, Bediwell looked disappointed.
"What's the matter with that expression on your face?" King Arthur was not blind. He had already seen the deep frown on the werewolf's face.
"I'm sorry, Arthur..." Bedivere found the iron cavalry he had hidden behind the sandstone, lifted off the covering cloth, and raised a burst of dust: "I came here to see the situation, but I didn't expect it to happen.
This kind of thing will ruin your elegance."
"It doesn't matter." The King of Knights said magnanimously: "Thanks to this, I got a lot of useful information. This trip has been very fruitful."
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number: "Tristan, where are you now? We have finished our work and will meet you soon."
"We are in the middle of the desert, Your Majesty!" The depressed voice of the fishman prince came from the other end of the phone: "The water vein has been found. Next, we only need to explore along the upstream of the water vein, and we will definitely find an oasis. We will
Send a signal while moving, can you follow the signal and come here?"
"Okay." Arthur glanced at Bedivere's cavalry for a moment. However, the navigator on the cavalry was removed last night and has not been put back on yet.
Just when the king was about to become extremely worried, Cador, the Knight of the Round Table, hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty! Why are you running so fast!"
"Cador?" King Arthur looked at his men. Cador was holding an instrument in his hand, which was exactly the part that the King of Knights needed most at the moment: "Well done! Did you bring the navigation device back?"
"Have you finished investigating the records of Sword Saint Yake?" Bedivere took the navigation device from Cador and quickly installed the device on the iron horse.
"Anyway, we need to copy all the records and store them in the database first. This navigation device cannot be used for the time being." Cador looked at King Arthur and Bedivere and said reproachfully: "What on earth are you thinking! Even the navigation device
What if you get lost while driving in the desert without even pretending to be one?"
"But I know the way..." Bediwell used a screwdriver to install the navigator back bit by bit, and was busy connecting the wires with a very skillful technique.
Kador continued to scold: "You know the road, but you can't act like this! Your Majesty, you do the same, how can you ride in a car like this that doesn't even have a navigation system! What if something goes wrong!"
King Arthur scratched his head and remained silent. He knew that continuing to argue would only lead to more nagging from Cador.
"Okay!" Bedivere installed the navigator, and the instrument's radar immediately displayed the signal of a companion. It was probably the dragonrider driven by Tristan and Ivan. It was only about ten kilometers away from Zvar, and it would be there soon.
Can catch up.
"Then," Arthur jumped on the back seat of the cavalry: "Let's set off. If I have anything important to do, I'll contact you, Cador."
The Knight of the Round Table knew that it was useless to continue nagging, so he could only sigh: "I wish your Majesty a happy journey. ------You kid must protect your Majesty! If your Majesty bumps into me, I will
I can’t spare you!"
"Haha..." The werewolf smiled bitterly, stepped on the accelerator, and drove the iron cavalry away at high speed.
At the same time, Cairo Grand Casino.
Palamedes led Seifer and Albert into the casino. They were still wearing brand-new [Horus brand] suits and walked struttingly in the casino, like a group of rich people.
The leopard man Phileos is also waiting for the arrival of Palamedes and his son (and Albert) at the main entrance of the casino. Like yesterday, he looks like a casino bodyguard, wearing a crisp and tight-fitting warrior uniform.
, fully embodying the perfect lines on the body. Ordinary people will definitely be in awe when they see this fit and tall leopard.
"Oh, Paramides!" However, this scary big blue cat gave Paramides a warm hug as soon as they met: "I have been waiting for you all day."
"Ahem..." After Palamedes hugged his adopted brother, he asked in a low voice: "How do I get to see that Sphinx daddy? Is he in this casino?"
"Yes, dad is waiting in the VIP room. Come with me." Phileos smiled, with an inexplicable warmth in his smile: "Dad will be very happy to see you. This is a family time
Reunion."
Palamedes remained silent. Philaeos completely regarded the underworld boss as a relative. This kind of fanatical and die-hard behavior was sometimes terrifying.
And when Phileos led Palamedes and his party toward the VIP room of the casino, Albert used his ice-blue eyes to restlessly observe the surrounding environment.
It was only a day later, and the gamblers from yesterday were still present in this casino. Many of these people had witnessed the "deeds" of Palamedes and his party. At this time, they couldn't help but feel suspicious of the Leopard Man and his group.
They looked at each other with respect, thinking that the Palamedes and his son (and Albert) were favored by the goddess of luck and could actually make a huge fortune from this big casino.
Of course, these people would not know that the big prizes won by Albert and Saifer yesterday were actually a secret manipulation by the casino. The purpose was to let Tiger and the others win money and face, and enjoy all the glory on the surface.
No, in fact, they are even more beautiful now. Phileos led Palamedes and his party into the VIP room. Before they could fully step in, the edge of the red carpet on the ground emitted a luxurious golden-red light. The edge
The light on the red carpet only flashed for a moment before becoming stable. They focused, shot upward from the bottom of the carpet, seeped out from the extremely cleverly hidden gaps in the red carpet, and revealed the wonderful patterns in the carpet that are usually invisible.
Leaving aside the splendid buildings on both sides of the VIP hall, the guards who were neatly dressed in clean and crisp uniforms and greeted Palamedes and his party along the way were enough to show how grand the meeting was.
------It's almost like going to see His Majesty the King.
Albert couldn't help but become more confused. The other party went around in such a big circle to invite them over, stuffed enough bribe money before meeting, and made the pomp before the meeting so exaggerated. What was their purpose?
They are just a group of penniless orcs with humble origins. They are not particularly famous, nor are they particularly brave and good at fighting (at least the outside world will not know their achievements).
So, what is it for?
Across the hall, walking straight along the backlit patterned red carpet, passing through countless pillars of the hall, and passing by thousands of guards, they finally came to a room.
On the door frame made of real pure gold, there are two doors carved from rubies. Each side is large enough for a strong man to pass through. The elegant golden-red backlight quietly seeps out from the carved gaps of the rubies, making the two
The extraordinary door looks even more exquisite and magnificent.
With great respect, Philaeos opened the door carefully. He waited in front of the door and made a gesture of "please come in" to let Palamedes and his son (and Albert) enter.
Room.
It was a dark room, and the windows didn't seem to be opened. But the exhaust system in the room was very good, and the air in the room was not stuffy at all. Instead, there was a kind of soothing incense faintly coming from inside the room, making people feel more relaxed.
Palamedes glanced at his son Seifer, then turned to look at Albert. He swallowed his saliva, and together with the two young men, walked tremblingly into the VIP room where the mysterious underworld boss was.
among.
In the far side of the dark room, at the end of the twelve ruby steps, sitting on his throne, the tall figure is none other than the legendary Sphinx Father, the boss of the gang. The faint flame of the incense burner and the carving of the throne
The ruby light between the gaps slightly illuminates this big man, and outlines his silhouette in a low-key manner.
Father Sphinx stood up from his throne.
So tall. Can humans be this tall? This guy is like a little giant. And what’s with that fluffy hair?
Dad asked in a low and gentle tone: "I walk on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening - what am I?"
Palamedes was stunned. Is this a puzzle? I seem to have heard it somewhere before...
"It's a human cat." Saifer couldn't wait to answer: "When he was a baby, he crawled on four legs. When he grew up, he stood on two legs. When he got older, he used crutches and walked on three legs."
"Correct answer." Father Sphinx smiled and took another step closer to the crowd: "I am a king, but I never wear a crown; instead, I grow the king's beard to maintain my majesty with my appearance; I am the overlord,
But I never hunt and kill; instead, I sit on my throne and wait for the tribute from my servants------What am I?"
Palamedes frowned again. What on earth is going on? A guessing contest?
"It's a lion," Albert couldn't help but reply: "The lion of Africa, the undoubted king of the grasslands."
"Correct answer." Father Sphinx smiled again and took a step closer to everyone: "I am invisible and colorless, but I make people blind; I am neither poisonous nor harmless, but people are afraid of me and use fire to set me on fire."
Disperse; people stay away from me, but have to rely on me to find peace. ------What am I?"
Palamedes already had the answer in his mind, but he remained silent, expecting the young people to answer.
Saifei thought for a while: "It's darkness, meow."
"Huhuhu... correct answer." Father Sphinx smiled with satisfaction and walked closer to everyone: "I come without a trace and go without a trace. I will never stay anywhere in the world. I am too fast to be caught;
But when people open a certain window, they can always catch me; I am neither quality nor immeasurable, so I am always ignored by others; but I can bless all things and allow the weak to grow. ------I
What is it?"
Albert shook his tail. This puzzle is probably the simplest one. You can answer it even with your eyes closed: "It's light."
"Correct answer." Father Sphinx applauded gently and walked ten yards away in front of everyone.
As he gets closer, his true face will soon be revealed.
