Chapter 1088 Searching for Secrets in Shahai
The act of applause by Sphinx is both a compliment and a way to activate some kind of voice-activated switch.
As his applause fell, the dark room went from top to bottom, and a soft light blew from the ceiling to illuminate the entire VIP room.
It is a very clever design, just like the ruby ​​brilliance on the floor, the dark light hidden in the ceiling shines through the pattern of carved white jade. They are by no means dazzling like ordinary lighting, even if they are spread all over the ceiling, the light is only visible. They make the light in the room very soft and even, so that everything in the room can just show its posture, and like the hospital's shadowless surgical lights, all the shadows in the room are infinitely faded, so that there seems to be no such thing in the room. shadow.
With this gentle lighting system, Paramitis finally saw the mysterious Sphinx dad for the first time. Sphinx is a very burly lion. The figure is very slender and tall in the Leopard, but in front of the Sphinx, he still has two heads, as if the height difference between the adult and the child.
Paramitis could not help but sigh. Although rare, Paramitis had previously seen lion-man fighters in the army. Like other big cats, the lions are not particularly tall. The majestic lion who looks like the Sphinx is definitely one of the best in the lion family.
Moreover, the golden lion's mane of the Sphinx's old lady is mixed with several white hairs, which indicates that the old age is already very high.
Depending on the race, orcs can usually live two or three hundred years old. But in the age of famine, war, and plague, Paramitis has never seen an orc who naturally survived a hundred years. Most orcs have been screaming for various reasons before they are fully adult and begin to age; like the Sphinx, the orcs who grow a few white hairs have never existed - at least Ramidis has never seen it!
Paramitis originally thought that the Sphinx, the boss of the underworld, would be an elderly human. But he never imagined that Sphinx turned out to be a lion, an old monster who was over 100 years old but strong and strong!
At the same time, Albert was dazzled by the scenery in the room. This originally dark VIP room showed its magnificent face after the lights were on. Regardless of the luxurious decoration in the room, it is enough to see the various treasures displayed on both sides of the room.
Valuable jewellery, all kinds of weapons and armor made by Seiko, famous paintings of first-class artists, various statues of pure gold, sterling silver, or marble, reliefs, and even a variety of strange and succinct, washed out in countless years. Antique treasures - these rare treasures in the world are displayed in the glass display cabinets on both sides of the VIP room, shining in soft light, silently telling their amazing value.
Albert began to understand why the room did not open the window and remained dark. Excessive airflow and light will accelerate the oxidation of valuables, which is not a good thing for the preservation of treasures. Only this kind of proper environment, together with the incense of insect repellent and cockroach, can preserve these valuable art works for a long time.
Of course, these are just theories. The darkness of the past and the bright future of the present, perhaps only because of this exquisite Sphinx daddy, deliberately created the atmosphere?
"Oh, huh." The majestic lion walked up to Paramitis and extended his left hand to prepare for a handshake: "It's nice to meet you, my child."
"I am also very happy." Palamidis felt a little unhappy about being called a child, but he did not show his anger, but went up to shake hands with the lion.
It is a huge, neither animal hair nor claws, the palm of a human hand.
it's wired. Isn’t the Sphinx daddy a lion?
Although the lion is dressed in a black and luxurious suit, Paramitis can vaguely feel that the part of the Sphinx's lion's head, that is, from the entire body below the neck, is probably human.
No, it is said that human beings are not quite right. There are so few tall human beings in the world. Is it better to say that this is a giant family similar to human form?
This kind of look is like cutting a lion's head and getting a giant's up. The body of the Sphinx is too weird, and there are too many parts that cannot be explained by science.
"Come on, children." After the hand was finished with Paramitis, the lion used a very gentle tone: "Come and sit down, there are freshly made strawberry cakes and good Ceylon black tea, hope You will like it."

Paramitis looked in the direction of the old man's fingers. There is a coffee table and two rows of large and soft sofas on the huge red carpet in the center of the VIP room. It is very suitable for sitting on the snacks and chatting. The servants have already pushed the cake and black tea over the dining car, one end on the coffee table, waiting for people to take it.
Paramitis and the two young men behind him glanced at the follower, the lion, and the old man walked over and sat down on the sofa.
The cup of Ceylon black tea in front of him is filled with the most exquisite white porcelain embroidered gold cup. The contents of the cup are filled with the golden luster of heaven, slowly rising with the hot water vapor, and the incredible rich tea is floating. Fragrant.
The delicateness of the strawberry cake is not inferior to the black tea. The first-class pastry chef uses the highest-grade skim cream to spread the surface of the cake, revealing only the cake body that is golden like a sponge like a sponge. The white skim cream is dotted with beautiful carved strawberries, like a rose that is dotted on the snow. The slender and crystal-clear red carving makes it almost impossible to tell whether it is flesh or real rose petals.
The edging cream is more refined to the point of being amazed. The pastry chef may not make such a delicate carving without relying on the means of squeezing the cream, but actually use the carving tool to slow down the whipped cream on the block. Slowly sculpted out this three-dimensional, art-like texture of the sacred lily, carefully engraving a piece of engraving on the edge of the cake.
"Is he still hesitating? Eat it, there is no poison in the food." Sphinx dad picked up an embroidered gold-white porcelain plate with a cake, cut a small piece of cake with a dining fork, and gracefully sent it to the import. . A triad boss who should have been wicked and murderous, and now eats sweets so gracefully, what is going on in the picture of a sense of violation?
And Paramitis’s hesitation is far more than that. He is not afraid of being poisonous in food. He looked at the exquisite strawberry cake, and suddenly there was an urge not to be willing to eat, fearing that if he forked it, it would destroy this perfect artwork.
"Oh! This is!" Albert did not study so much, and had already eaten a bite of cake. Just the sweetness and acidity burst in the mouth of the tiger, bringing a huge taste shock like the big bang.
"Too, it's so delicious!" At that time, Saifei also ate nearly half of the cake. He almost ate the cake on his white porcelain plate, and Paramitis looked at it. Feel gratifying!
"You like it." Sphinx continued to drink black tea gracefully, smiling as he looked at the young people like a father.
In this room, surrounded by countless rare and precious, while enjoying the most exquisite refreshments, this kind of royal aristocrat can enjoy, I am afraid this life can only experience one.
Palamidis tried to restrain his impulses as much as possible, eating a cake as elegantly as possible, blending the soft, strawberry and creamy aromas into the throat with hot black tea. He was intoxicated for a moment, only to ask the lion Sphinx in confusion: "Daddy, you have to ask us to come over, it is not to invite us to have tea."
Yes, there is no free lunch in the world. Before Paramitis was invited to come over, he was ready to see what Sphinx daddy wanted.
"The old man is asking for you? Why do you think so?" The old man’s eyes flashed a bit of uneasiness: "I really just ask you to come over and meet. You are the younger brother of Philaeus, the old man." Family. Is there anything wrong with meeting with your family?"
Paramitis took another sip of tea and looked at the Sphinxs with a near-examination. Although it may not be polite to say it, the Leopard warrior cannot believe the other person's words -
Even if the other party is a very wealthy and wealthy, it is impossible to treat such a "family" with only one side and no blood relationship. Unless Paramitis's brain is teasing, the ghost will believe that the Sphinx is not the other figure!
The lion man sighed and his eyes flashed a little disappointment. But his look was barely noticeable under the soft light, and he quickly returned to normal, with a touch of poker face on Paramitis: "Well, the old man does have something. Seeking, I wonder if you are willing to help?"
"Please speak first." Paramitis swallowed.
It is still coming.
The big cat only hopes that the other party's request will not be too much, at least within the tolerance of Paramitis' moral values. If Sphinx asks them to do something illegal, the Leopard Warrior is also ready to turn this face with him. He even thought about returning all the money he had earned from the casino yesterday, even though they could not return it in full.
Just when the Leopard warrior was nervous and thought that the Lions’ old man would ask for any hardships, Sphinx grinned and listed a request like a mischief: "The old man wants you to pretend to be my family. Have dinner with a lady."
