Chapter 175 The old witch’s deception

According to the location given by the queen, Locke walked all the way east and came to a new country. He rested temporarily in a tavern in the city and listened to the people in the tavern chatting.

The country had just ended a war, and many soldiers had been sent home.

Locke had no interest in such things. He drank the wine in the glass and was about to continue on his way when the chat between the tavern owner and a man attracted Locke's attention.

It turns out that an old witch came to the tavern a few days ago, claiming that she could help people see their future destiny. Many people tried it with the idea of ​​​​trying it, and found that it was quite effective.

So now many people come here to seek divination, and the tavern owner also spreads the word intentionally or unintentionally, because this has made his tavern business much better than before.

Locke became interested in the conversation he overheard. He also heard from the boss that the old witch would appear in a while, so he simply decided to stay for a while to see where this old witch who could do divination came from.

Sure enough, within a short while, Locke saw an old witch coming to the tavern. Locke sensed the presence of the magic power from her body for a while.

Obviously, according to the fairy tale world, this is indeed an old witch, but her strength is not very strong, much worse than the current Locke, let alone compared with the queen.

However, Locke was still surprised that this old witch would be so public. Although this kingdom is not completely controlled by the Holy See, the Holy See still has a strong influence here.

When he came here, Locke had to change his clothes and name a little to avoid attracting the attention of the Holy See. But this old witch showed her divination ability so easily. I don't know where she got such courage.

After the old witch arrived, she was surrounded by a group of people. Locke looked around and saw that she was wearing a dusty robe and a blue plaid apron around her waist. She had deep wrinkles on her face. He must be very old.

She took out a crystal ball and began to prepare for divination. At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a man dressed as a soldier walked in.

"Have a glass of wheat wine." The soldier came to the bar and said.

Others in the tavern looked at the soldier with a somewhat wary look in their eyes.

Many of the soldiers who were sent home from the battlefield were ruthless characters. They had seen blood on the battlefield, and if they had weapons with them, there was no telling when they would commit murder and arson.

After seeing the soldier, the old witch was slightly stunned for a moment, then her eyes showed a hint of joy and she said to the soldier: "Soldier, I see outstanding courage and a strong heart in you!"

Locke's brows raised, and then he began to look at the soldier. The old witch's words just now contained a sense of excitement and impatientness, which made Locke curious.

In Locke's perception, this soldier was just an ordinary person without any magical powers.

"Thank you." Faced with the old witch's compliment, the soldier nodded, and then looked curiously at the old witch surrounded by a group of people in the center: "What are you doing?"

"Hehehe..." Seeing that the soldier's attention had been attracted, the old witch smiled happily: "It's just a small game. I'm just helping people find the trajectory of their destiny through divination."

"Divination?!" The soldier looked at the old witch and said, "It's really interesting."

"If you are interested, I can help you do some divination to see your future." The old witch's words were somewhat bewitching.

"Is it really possible?" The soldier was a little eager to try and came to the old witch.

"Of course, sit down first. What's your name, soldier?" the old witch asked after asking the soldier to sit down.

"Philip, my name is Philip," said the soldier.

"Philip the soldier?!"

After hearing the name and looking at the old witch, Locke thought of a fairy tale - the tinder box!

"What should I do next?" the soldier asked, looking at the old witch.

"It's very simple, you just need to put your hand on this crystal ball." The old witch said with a smile.

As soon as the soldier Philip put his hand on it, the crystal ball lit up. He felt in a trance and recovered quickly.

"How is it?" asked the soldier Philip.

"Very good!" The old witch had a look of ecstasy in her eyes. She stared at the soldier Philip for a long time, until he felt a little frightened in his heart, and then slowly said:

"I saw in your destiny that you will have countless wealth in the future. As long as you follow my guidance, you can..." the old witch said slowly.

"You want me to give you the money I have, right?" The soldier Philip interrupted the old witch: "I have seen a lot of scams like yours, and I will not be fooled!"

After saying this, the soldier Philip ignored the stunned old witch, stood up and returned to the bar to drink.

The old witch was stunned for a while, seeming to be thinking, and after a while, she took the crystal ball and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave, you haven't given us a divination yet!" The people in the tavern said when they saw this.

The old witch ignored these people and left the tavern.

Watching the old witch leave, Locke was thoughtful, but did not follow him. Instead, he looked at the soldier Philip. He knew that as long as he stared at him, he would definitely see the old witch again.

To be honest, Locke didn't see anything special about the soldier Philip until now, but from the old witch's reaction, Locke knew that it was definitely not an accident that she chose the soldier Philip in the fairy tale.

After the old witch left, everyone else in the tavern felt sorry that the old witch didn't give them divination, because the old witch's divination is still very effective these days.

This made the soldier Philip hesitate a little more about his judgment, but he still did not change his original itinerary. After drinking, he left the tavern and continued on his way.

He left the city and walked on the road. As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened. He didn't pay much attention to it. His career on the battlefield had taught him how to deal with danger.

Until a familiar figure appeared in front of him, it was the old witch he met in the tavern not long ago.

After seeing her, the soldier Philip said: "I am just an ordinary soldier and I have no money, so you don't have to think of ways to deceive me."

"If you think so, you have misunderstood me." The old witch said: "Your sword is so good and your marching bag is so big. I can see that you are a very good soldier. How much can I make you like?" Money is as much money as it is worth.”

"Thank you for your compliment, but how could such a good thing happen?" Soldier Philip still didn't believe the old witch.

"This is the instruction of fate." The old witch said: "Have you seen the big tree next to it? It is empty inside. If you climb to the top of the tree, you will see a hole. You can slip down and You can get into tree holes.”

"That's just an ordinary tree. How could there be a tree hole? I wouldn't do that either." Soldier Philip shook his head.

"Of course this cannot be seen from the appearance." The old witch said: "It is protected by magic. Only by unlocking the magic can you see its true face. There is countless money inside waiting for you to get it."

"Really?" The soldier Philip was finally tempted. After fighting for several years, although he gained a lot of skills, he did not gain much wealth. The king sent him away with very little money.

"Of course, I won't lie to a brave soldier. This won't delay you much. Soon you will have countless money."

The old witch said in a bewitching tone: "But don't forget to tie a rope around your waist so that I can pull you up."

"If you cheat on me, I will make you pay for it," said the soldier Philip, staring at the old witch.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you," the old witch said slowly: "But you must remember clearly what I told you, otherwise you will be attacked by the treasure's mechanism..."

At the same time, Locke watched from a distance as the old witch tricked the soldier into helping her get the tinder box, and kept thinking in his mind, why the old witch had to let the soldier Philip go to the tree hole? Couldn't she go in by herself?

Could it be that this soldier was the only one who could go in? So what was so special about him?
