Chapter 554: Finger of Death and the Mother of Slaves
Translator: Lonelytree
Other than the cemetery of the Suki Family, are you guarding any other treasuries?”
Sphinx sizhed.
‘ The Sphinx is the guardian of the treasure vault. We must not reveal the location of the treasure vault…
Bang!
Argus’ long-prepared Shield Bash smashed down again.
The Sphinx’s eyes went white, and he fainted.
When he woke up with a bucket of water on his head and saw the bright glow of the alloy shield, he said everything.
Stop, stop. There’s still a treasure vault. In the Helen Mountains of the prime material plane, there’s another tomb. I was entrusted by the owner of the tomb to protect the most important treasure. The owner of the tomb was a great hero when he was alive.”
In the tomb of Mount Helen.
Tomb of Heroes.
What the Sphinx said instantly matched the coordinates that Matthew had obtained from the knowledge of the tomb.
He knew that the Sphinx was not lying.
However, this guy had threatened to kill him previously. Matthew would definitely not let him off so easily now.
Therefore, he deliberately asked a few tricky questions to try to get him to violate his contract.
The Sphinx frowned and did not dare to answer.
During Matthew’s questioning.
He was still peering at Argus’ movements in fear as if he was afraid of another Shield Bash.
Matthew was not fooled by his appearance. He knew that this guy had been looking for an opportunity to escape, but the power of the ritual field was too strong.
Therefore, he could not help but say,
“You can’t answer this or that. What’s the use of having you?
“Why don’t I turn you into an undead? At the very least, you can be used as a meat shield.”
The Sphinx hurriedly said,
” You can’t kill me. If you kill me, the Sphinx will come after you again from another time. They will also have my memories.
” To be honest, I was too careless and rushed into your territory. If I had known the situation here in advance, I would definitely have chosen to lie in ambush outside. At that time, you would also have a headache.
” You can’t kill all the Sphinxes. If you want to use violence to solve all problems, then the outcome is destined to be futile.”
Matthew looked at him expressionlessly.
” Very good. If I really can’t kill all the Sphinxes, then will I soon have an undead army made up of Sphinxes?
“You better be able to provide me with some other reason and not threaten me.”
The Sphinx hurriedly said,
“I have no intention of threatening you. I am just fulfilling my duty.
“No matter what, you stole the treasure I was guarding, so I must chase you to the ends of the earth.
“But this is the effect of the contract, not my own will.
“In this case, we can actually form a new contract to avoid the effect of the old contract on me.
“The Sphinx knew the secrets of many treasures.
“We can sign a consulting contract.
“After the contract was signed.
“You have three chances to summon me every month, and I will answer your questions for free.
“We can form a very friendly relationship.
“This will prevent the misunderstanding and conflict from escalating, and it will also ensure that I won’t chase after you anymore. How about it?” Matthew looked at the Sphinx mockingly.
“Are you really one of the world’s most powerful treasure keepers? The so-called chase to the ends of the earth is only a lie for weak treasure thieves.”
The Sphinx said calmly,
“Although what you said is unpleasant to hear, it’s the truth.
” The strong should have special privileges. The Sphinx is just a smart race that serves the strong.”
He had already said so.
Matthew was too lazy to continue being sarcastic.
He thought for a while.
The benefits of killing the Sphinx were not that high, mainly because Matthew was a kind necromancer. It would be very troublesome if Sphinxes from other timelines kept coming to find him.
He didn’t want a Tier 5 monster to be lurking around Rolling Stone Town and the Oak Forest.
So Matthew said,
I accept your proposal, but the contents of the contract have to be changed. I’m afraid that the consulting contract can’t reflect the love between you and me. I suggest changing it to a follower contract.
‘ As you can see, my cemetery is still short of a scholar. How about this: after I release you, you must spend half of your time in the cemetery to provide me with services. No matter how many questions I ask you, as long as it doesn’t violate your agreement with the other contestants, you have to answer them.”
The Sphinx suppressed his anger and said,
“You are humiliating me!
“I won’t sign that kind of contract. You might as well kill me!”
Matthew snorted coldly.
“No, you’ll sign it.”
As he spoke.
He took out a piece of parchment and quickly wrote a consultant contract according to the knowledge in his mind. The Contract Domain had already been activated.
After he finished writing.
Matthew slammed the contract in front of the Sphinx.
The Sphinx looked around in despair.
The dark warrior silently raised his alloy shield again.
The few ghosts on his head were like mosquitoes sucking away his life and energy.
Not far away, a Tauren skeleton was pointing at him. She was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and there was blood on her fingers. She looked terrifying.
At that moment.
The Sphinx finally lowered its proud head.
