Othua's War Banner

Chapter 201 0200: It has nothing to do with luck
Wu Senbu looked embarrassed, turned his head and pulled Ken into the corner, hinting at the simple shack behind the boiler with his eyes.

"See what's hanging on it?"

he whispered.

Ken looked in this direction, and there were indeed a few scattered animal bones floating on the hook, and there was also a very weird-looking mask.

[Item: Witch Mask]

[Description: The symbol of the members of the assembly, one of the most mysterious organizations in the North, mixed with good and evil, acting eccentrically, likes to use luck and fate to determine the good or bad of things. 】

A note appeared in front of Ken.

【Temporary Mission: Witch Soup】

【Progress: 10min】

[Description: You met a special person by chance. This is a joke-like gamble for others, but for you, it is rare luck. 】

Then a task popped up.

Ken frowned.

Remarks have always been to help oneself grow, this urgent feeling seems to be a pity if you miss it.

He didn't know at this time that this encounter was the beginning of [Ken Bouvier] becoming the number one public enemy of [Witch Coven].

"Listen, after a while, she will ask you if you want soup for the last time. If you refuse, you may encounter some bad luck." Wusenbu said.

"for example?"

"Bird poop, dog poop, falling into beast poop...whatever."

The old man of the Fern Tribe raised his eyebrows and spoke teasingly, as if he had seen many unlucky cases.

"What's her purpose?" Ken asked.

"Don't get me wrong, the Witches' Coven is a very mysterious organization in the North. No one knows their code of conduct, where they appear, or how they are recruited."

Usenbu continued to introduce.

Whether you are a native of the north or a mercenary adventurer from outside, you will often see a huge pot of thick soup on the roadside. people stop.

The fees are so low that you can trade at a loss.

But each person can only drink once, and must drink after buying, no return.

After saying hello to the other party, if you refuse or leave, you will encounter bad luck.

After listening to the story, Ken turned to look at the shopkeeper.

【Woman with a strange smile】

[Identity: Witch]

[Description: You taste her soup, she tastes your luck. 】

Her head was always hidden in the thick hood, and the few strands of hair exposed were all slippery and curled like tentacles.

The skin is occasionally exposed to the sun, with yellow spots all over it, and you even feel that her organs are patched together, not harmonious enough.

Ken couldn't bear that cold and strange sight.

He asked Wusenbu again: "We are in a hurry, you shouldn't have answered the phone with him in the first place, wouldn't it be good to let us leave, how should we solve it now?"

Wu Senbu said indifferently: "Drink it!"

It turns out that [Witch Soup] is not a curse, on the contrary, it is a very interesting encounter during the journey to the north.

Someone got lucky after drinking it.

After someone drinks it, the strength is doubled.

Someone drank it and got rich.

……

Not to mention that the aborigines in the north are not afraid of challenges by nature. Those foreign mercenaries and adventurers are not dangerous people who lick blood with knives.

In the face of such random and strange events, everyone hopes that they will be lucky.

"It's a gambler's mentality, and I don't believe it's all good."

Ken is very sensible.

"That's right," Wu Senbu showed a surprised expression, "It's also possible that you will have diarrhea for several days, or make an embarrassment in public, or even lose your male stamina... Haha, don't worry, it's temporary!"

Wu Senbu did not lower his volume when explaining these things.

Thornton Kaya soldiers have heard this, some have known the story before, and some have even experienced it themselves.

Ken didn't want to cause extra problems, but now he can only force it.

Quema offered to be the first to test the waters, saying:

"Zhan Jing, you and I both understand that this is the most cost-effective way. The witch's joke is of no importance to me, but you will affect the next thing to do."

Boom, boom, boom.

The innkeeper slammed a branch against the stone, then shook his head, an inhuman arc of laughter opening from his mouth under the hood.

She continued to bewitch with her hoarse voice:
"Hey hey, he has to go first, any of you can have another bowl, but he has to go first, I've never seen this pretty kid before."

She has an inexplicable persistence.

Ken is the kind of character who doesn't take hard and soft, and faces difficulties. Seeing that he can't avoid it, he walks up to pay the money gracefully.

The shopkeeper threw the coins on the snow behind him.

She moved her contorted body up the creaking escalator, and began stirring the soup.

Ken stared at it for a while, then suddenly called out: "Wait!"

Everyone was stunned.

But Ken let [Bolton] bring the wagon over, and climbed up to the top, staring at the thick, hot liquid inside the pot.

The witch had an ominous premonition, but she hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.

Ken watched intently:

The other party stirred the long spoon, tumbling and boiling, foreign objects kept floating and sinking, and various seasonings were spit in from the nearby opening.

[Item: Witch Soup]

Notes will flash and change every time.

[Effect: Diarrhea status +150% (delayed effect)]

[Effect: Strength surge +40% (delayed effect)]

……

"Hahahaha, I, I, haha."

Ken clutched his chest and rolled over with laughter in the carriage. He finally understood why, the task given in the notes would say that this was pure good luck for him.

The secret to witch soup is the ingredients and cooking time.

Its efficacy will change every once in a while, and at that time, the guy serving the soup will be [lucky] or [unlucky] accordingly.

Ken has notes and can parse item properties.

"Don't worry, kid, we'll have something good to eat right away."

The shop owner didn't realize that his secret had been exposed, and was still stirring the spoon, but when the good effect was about to end, he heard Ken call to stop.

"I want this bowl, can I?"

Ken sat on the frame, looking at each other expectantly.

The shopkeeper didn't even close his mouth under the hood, so he could only reply in a daze: "Um, well, let me try it for you, good boy."

Ken brought it over without any hesitation or apprehension, and drank it down on the spot.

[Effect: Stamina increase +65% (delayed effect)]

Moments later, the owner climbed down the ladder.

She felt that the business she did today was very strange, and before she could figure it out, she was surrounded by a dark crowd.

Ken approached again and handed him a bag of belongings.

"Please give us all a bowl of soup. It tastes so good that I can't keep it to myself."

"Everyone? Child, you..."

The shopkeeper's expression turned serious.

Her business today is exceptionally good, but it's also exceptionally awkward, especially with a tall carriage next to her.

Ken was sitting on it, yelling tirelessly...

"Stop, just this bowl."
