Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 165 The Final Test
A house needs popularity. Only when the popularity is high will the house be prosperous.

A house that no one lives in will age very quickly.

In fact, there is no popularity at all, it's just that no one lives there. A small problem due to lack of maintenance will quickly become a big problem. For example, if weeds and vines are not dealt with in time, the roots that grow freely will damage the main body of the house. At the same time, the plants will also attract insects, which will drill holes in the walls and damage the walls, which continues the vicious cycle.

All in all, for an underground city that is so well preserved, there are only some annoying black puddings and green slime on the road, and naturally there are one or more guards.

A giant winged lion carries the head of a female humanoid creature, and a female-faced Sphinx is the guardian of this dungeon. She is responsible for the maintenance of the entire dungeon and protecting it from destruction.

The female-faced Sphinx was squatting in the deepest part of the dungeon at this time. It could see everything that happened in the dungeon... It was definitely impossible to accurately see who entered the dungeon and accurately hear the conversations of those people, but it could indeed feel it vaguely.

There are two people, not necessarily people, it is better to say two targets. Now I don’t know how to open the magic door to the dungeon...

Then, there seemed to be some problem with the magic door, and so far there was no sense of it. It seemed that I had to find a chance to go out and take a look, and repair it if I found any problem. Otherwise, anyone could push open the magic door, and it would be too boring to break into the dungeon.

Although the magic door cannot stop everyone, it can stop most adventurers. Many adventurers who only know how to act recklessly cannot even find the puzzle, let alone open the magic door after completing the puzzle.

"They have entered the underground city, and now in the tunnel..."

If you want to conquer a dungeon, opening the magic door is just the beginning... Those black puddings living in the tunnels are unlikely to cause any trouble to adventurers who have passed the test of the magic door. However, no one expected those black puddings to play any role. The real test lies in the strategy.

That endgame is not so easy to crack. Black has already gained a lot of advantages. It is not easy to use white to defeat black. You have to see more than a dozen moves ahead. The most important thing is that there is only one chance.

If you want to play tricks, you must face the attack of all the chess pieces. One chess piece is a small golem, not very powerful, but the black and white chess pieces add up to more than a dozen pieces...

So, what did those two people do? The chess pieces couldn't be contacted either. It seemed that they heard an alarm beforehand, but who could destroy so many chess pieces at once? So it must not be destroyed, but a similar malfunction as the magic door.

What comes next between strategy? It comes next between logic.

If you want to pass the logic, you must have excellent logical reasoning skills and be knowledgeable enough to know what the monster drawn on the jar is. Otherwise, you must face various traps and even monsters.

The seducer is not a berserker, who has no brains and can only fight and kill. The seducer can deceive people, and when the deception fails, he has many tricks. He is much more powerful than the succubus and nightmare, which can only deceive but not fight.

Wow, I actually found the jar containing the key accurately.

Why were all the other jars smashed as well? Hadn't they found the key?
They are two trouble-making people.

Even if you have passed all the previous levels, the last level will not be so easy to pass. Cheating and playing tricks will not work, because the last level is presided over by me. Thinking of this, the female-faced Sphinx could not help but smile.

What riddle is she going to prepare?

Be sure to prepare a difficult riddle.

She is round and flat. She is the altar of the wolf king, a jewel on black velvet, a pearl in the sea. She is eternal and unchanging, yet she is always changing... How about this riddle? Without a little wisdom, you will never guess that it is the moon.

There is a creature that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night. When it has the most legs, it is at its weakest. When it has the fewest legs, it is at its strongest... This riddle is so famous that anyone who has read a book knows it.

The more you move forward with something, the more you leave behind.

What has six faces but no mouth, and twenty-one eyes but cannot see?
The female-faced Sphinx thought for a long time but still couldn't make up her mind.

……

……

The seducer was just a minor episode, and it seemed that Leon and Tassela didn't care about the fact that they were being watched.

They passed through a maze made up of countless glass and mirrors, some of which were made entirely of ice. Otherwise, Leon wanted to pack up all the glass and mirrors and take them away. He would sell them as much as he could, even a gold coin would count as money.

The room full of illusions was no problem for Leon, who possessed the power of clairvoyance, and Tassela, who was a blue dragon and proficient in the spells of the school of illusion.

Tassera has brains, Leon has strength... Of course he has brains too, but he doesn't like solving puzzles. He prefers simple and rough fighting. Nothing in the huge dungeon can be difficult for them.

"Finally arrived... at the treasure chest room." There were few monsters along the way, and most of the time it was a puzzle. Tassera had a lot of fun, but Leon was not very interested. Now he finally found something that interested him.

Even so, Leon did not forget to be vigilant and said, "I am sure there are Mimics hidden in so many boxes."

Sometimes a treasure chest is a treasure chest, but don't be so sure. Mimics are shapeshifting predators that can take the form of inanimate objects to lure prey. In dungeons, these cunning predators will take the form of doors or chests, attacking prey that mistakenly enter their hunting range, completely unaware of their presence.

"So?" Tassela said, "If you don't get close to them, they won't jump out... and you can't burn this place down."

"This is easy." Leon chanted the soul-calling Sanskrit sound for the first time in a long time. The mental attack was not afraid of damaging the treasure.

It was just a mimicry monster, whose challenge level was not even as high as that of the black pudding. It could not pass the immunity at all. Under the influence of the soul-seeking mantra, they jumped out one after another to attack and devour each other. Finally, there was only one left, and Leon drew out the Blade of Cataclysm and chopped it down.

"There's still a treasure room... There's only a few things." Leon searched the treasure room and found a hidden compartment, but all the gains added up were only worth a few thousand gold coins... It seemed like a lot. Under normal circumstances, it's not easy to get so much money, and you have to do some murder and robbery.

The two of them went to the treasure chest room through a three-way intersection. The treasure chest room was the end. On the way back, Leon couldn't help but say, "We haven't reached the end yet. If we wait until the end, the reward will be so small. I won't do it... I don't know how long it will take to reach the end?"

"The road in the middle of the three-way intersection, go to the end... the final test should be there." Tassela said, "I have a feeling."

"I hope your feeling is right." Leon yawned, "I'm a little sleepy."

"Don't be sleepy." Tassela said, "The end is just ahead. The last level."

"It's the last level, we need to take a good rest." Lyon said, "Take a break and face the last level in the best condition."

Tassela said thoughtfully: "What you said seems to make sense."

"Forget about the long rest, let's take a short rest. Eat something and take a nap." Leon took out food from the small space in his sleeve, including wine, meat and bread, and gave some to Tassela. Even if the other party was not her woman, she couldn't be so stingy.

……

……

The two people were clearly at the door. As long as they pushed the door open, they could see her. Why did they suddenly stop moving? This was a question that the female-faced Sphinx could never figure out.

Even if they need to rest, it's understandable. There's no reason not to move for hours. The female-faced Sphinx wanted to go out and take a look, but after hesitating for a moment, she held back. After waiting for most of the day, she made up her mind to increase the difficulty a little when the two people were tested.

Is that footsteps?
Finally moved.

The female-faced Sphinx shook her head and stood majestically, watching a man and a woman walk out of the door. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty...

The female-faced Sphinx looked at it carefully and licked her lips subconsciously.

The eyes of the female-faced Sphinx can see through the current time and place, and can also see through the veil of invisibility and magic.

The seductress couldn't see through the identities of Leon and Tassera, but that didn't stop the female-faced Sphinx from seeing clearly that there were no people there, but clearly a red dragon and a blue dragon.

The female-faced Sphinx blinked and said calmly, "Traveler from afar, why did you come here?"

Without waiting for Leon and Tassela to speak, the female-faced Sphinx continued, "As long as you pass my test, I can help you change your fate."

"Now I ask you," said the female-faced Sphinx, "what human organs are there? Five brothers, living together, with different names and different heights."

Leon wasn't good at guessing riddles, but there was no reason why he couldn't guess such a simple riddle.

He looked at the female-faced Sphinx and remembered that he had seen a male-faced Sphinx before. The latter was stronger than the former. The specifications of the mausoleum of the ancient fallen empire were higher than this underground city. He raised his hand and said, "Hand, am I right?"

"The answer is normal." The female-faced Sphinx nodded.

"Go on," Leon said.

"It's over," said the Sphinx. "Are you ready to change your fate?"

God knows where the female-faced Sphinx took out a deck of ivory cards and said, "You can choose to draw a card, or several cards..."

Leon didn't react for a moment. Tassela opened her eyes wide in shock and said, "The Vientiane Card?"
