"I didn't see anyone enter."
The Black Headscarf looked angry.
"Are you helping him cheat?"
The Sphinx's eyes turned sharp.
" Cheating is a serious accusation against the Sphinx. Are you sure you want to stick to your words?
"Are you sure you want to incur the wrath of the Sphinx?"
The black headscarf wanted to say sothing.
In the next second.
His head was quickly pressed down.
The Red Headscarf grabbed the young man's shoulder and dragged him into the distance.
"Idiot!
" Soone who can make the Sphinx go easy on him must be an expert who can make him feel fear!
"If you want to beco a zombie, I won't stop you. Don't drag others down!
"Let's go quickly. Don't delay Miss Bai's important matter!"
Under the orders of the Red Headscarf.
The group of people jogged away.
What made them heave a sigh of relief was…
The necromancer didn't seem to want to cause them any trouble.
They passed through two long corridors in a row.
They arrived in front of a cliff.
There were two suspension bridges on the cliff.
The suspension bridge andered downwards.
In the endless darkness on the other side was the third level of the Eternal Underground Palace, which was also the resting place of the legendary Prince Philip.
"Let's go!"
The group quickly crossed the suspension bridge.
Soon, they disappeared into the darkness.
However, half a minute later.
The Black Headscarf appeared again. He snorted coldly and cut off the ropes of the two suspension bridges.
Puff! Puff!
The suspension bridge broke at one end, and most of the bridge fell into the cliff at the foot of the mountain.
It was accompanied by a creaking sound of shaking and falling.
A faint fire slowly lit up under the dark cliff.
It was as if countless candles were floating below.
..
"This is the treasure chest that I obtained with great difficulty."
At the door of the room.
Matthew introduced them to Lorraine and Cala, who had arrived late.
The Sphinx's mouth twitched.
However, he did not say a word.
"Whose treasure chest is this?" Matthew pointed at the shining treasure chest, which was the size of a person, and asked.
The Sphinx said coldly,
"My professional ethics do not allow to reveal the origin of the client."
Matthew did not mind his cold attitude.
Anyway, his body was quite honest just now.
"Shouldn't you be performing your duties in my cetery now?"
Matthew asked curiously.
The Sphinx snorted coldly again. He raised his chin slightly and said in a high and reserved manner,
" There are many people who entrusted to guard treasure chests and secret treasures. I can't work for you alone.
" Although I will follow the agreent and spend most of my ti in the cetery.
" However, if there are signs of human activity near other Guarded Grounds, I will imdiately appear elsewhere."
Matthew nodded thoughtfully.
However, Lorraine interrupted,
"He's lying."
Matthew was interested.
"Which part?"
Lorraine said without hesitation,
"He said he had a lot of clients. That part was a lie."
The Sphinx's expression changed.
Matthew chuckled.
"So only a few people actually entrusted you with the task of guarding the treasure?"
The Sphinx stubbornly turned his head away.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Lorraine was holding a piccolo in his mouth as he scribbled on the Book of Hebrews. He mumbled,
"He's very nervous now.
"And this sentence is also a lie."
The Sphinx was shocked.
"Oh?"
Matthew was also a little surprised.
Could it be that the content of his question involved a very important field?
"The Sphinx's client?
" Last ti in Rheagar's ancestral grave, he said that Queen Lutishia wasn't his client. The real client was most likely the Necromancer who took linda away…"
Matthew's thoughts raced.
In that case...
It was very likely that the necromancer entrusted the Sphinx to guard the treasure of the Suki Family and left this glittering treasure chest here.
But why did he do that?
Matthew was suddenly curious about the necromancer's identity.
After all, in the history of the Alliance.
There weren't many famous necromancers, and most of those who made a na for themselves were notorious.
" It could be an outsider, related to linda, and has a friendship with Lutishia. It's most likely soone from Storluk Industries, which is a space necromancer!"
Matthew speculated.
It was highly likely that he was one of the two big shots in the Storluk industry who ranked above the Prince of Undead.
Hence, he tried asking,
"Is it that necromancer?"
The Sphinx's expression changed drastically.
"Wow!"
He actually started vomiting black blood!
"Stop asking!"
The Sphinx's voice was filled with fear.
"I'm already suffering the backlash of the contract!
"It's not good for you to force to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
A white divine light lit up on his body.
Imdiately after.
A majestic life force surged from the Sphinx's body.
His spirit was suddenly shaken!
"Don't worry.
"With here, you won't die."
Cala said lightly.
The Sphinx held his breath and said,
"It's not about dying!
"I'm not afraid of death.
"I'm just afraid of death for no reason!"
The Sphinx emphasized the last sentence in exasperation.
Cala raised her eyes and calmly pointed at Matthew.
"Don't worry.
"With him around, you'll still be useful even if you die."
