Chapter 175 The Old Witch's Fudge
According to the location given by the queen, Locke went all the way to the east and came to a new country. He temporarily took a rest in a tavern in the city, listening to the people in the tavern chatting there.

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

Locke had no interest in such things, and was about to continue on his way after drinking the wine in the glass. The chat between the tavern owner and a person attracted Locke's attention.

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

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

This overheard conversation aroused Locke's interest, and he heard from the boss that the old witch would appear in a while, so he simply decided to stay for a while to see what the old witch who knew divination was about.

Sure enough, within a short while, Locke saw an old witch coming to the tavern. After a little sensing, Locke sensed the existence of magic power from the other party.

Obviously, according to the name of 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 very surprised that the old witch would be so flamboyant. 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 also had to change his attire and name a little, so as not to attract the attention of the Holy See, but this old hag showed her divination ability so easily, I really 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 gray robe and a blue plaid apron around her waist. The wrinkles on her face were deep. 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 front of the bar and said.

The others in the tavern looked at the soldier with a look of vigilance in their eyes.

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

When the old witch saw the soldier, she was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a gleam of joy in her eyes, and she said to the soldier, "Soldier, I have seen extraordinary courage and a strong heart from you!"

Locke frowned, and then began to look at the soldier. The old witch's words just now had a faint sense of excitement and impatience, which made Locke curious.

In Locke's induction, this soldier is an ordinary person without any magical power.

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

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

"Divination?!" The soldier sized up the old witch, "It's really interesting."

"If you're interested, I can do a divination for you 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 is your name, soldier?" the old witch asked the soldier to sit down.

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

"Soldier Philip?!"

After hearing the name, Locke looked at the old witch again, and Locke thought of a fairy tale—a tinderbox!

"What shall 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 soldier Philip put his hand on it, the crystal ball lit up. He felt a trance for a while, but he recovered quickly.

"How is it?" asked the soldier Philip.

"Very good!" The old witch's eyes showed ecstasy, and she stared at the soldier Philip for a long time, until he felt a little hairy 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 you have on me, right?" Philip the soldier interrupted the old witch, "I've seen a lot of scams like yours, and I won't fall for it!"

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

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

"Don't go, you haven't divination for us yet!" The person in the tavern said upon seeing this.

The old hag didn't pay any attention to these people, and left the tavern straight away.

Looking at the back of the old witch leaving, Locke was thoughtful, but he didn't follow. Instead, he looked at the soldier Philip. He knew that as long as he stared at him, he would definitely be able to see the old witch again.

To be honest, Locke hasn't seen anything special about that soldier Philip yet, but from the old witch's reaction, Locke knows that it is definitely not accidental that she picked Philip the soldier in the fairy tale.

And after the old witch left, the other people in the tavern felt sorry, saying 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 own judgment, but he still did not change the original itinerary, left the tavern after drinking, and continued on his way.

He left the city and walked on the road. As the evening approached, the sky gradually darkened. He didn't care much about 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'm just an ordinary soldier and I don't have any money with me, so you don't have to think of ways to lie to me."

"If you think so, you've misunderstood me." The old witch said, "Your sword is really good, your knapsack is so big, I can see that you are a very good soldier, how much I can make you like me There is as much money as there is.”

"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: "Did you see the big tree next to it? It is empty inside. If you climb to the top of the tree, you will see a hole. If you slip down, you will see a hole." You can get into tree holes."

"It's just an ordinary tree. How could there be a hole in it? I wouldn't do that either." The soldier Philip shook his head.

"Of course it can't be seen from the outside." The old witch said, "It is protected by magic. Only by unlocking the magic can you see its true face. There are countless money 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 didn't get any wealth. The king sent him away with very little money.

"Of course, I won't lie to a brave soldier. It won't take you long, and soon you'll have untold 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 deceive me, I will make you pay the price." The soldier Philip stared at the old witch and said.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you," the old witch said slowly, "but you have to remember what I told you, otherwise you will be attacked by the treasure trove..."

At the same time, Locke was watching from a distance where the old witch was fooling the soldiers to help her get the tinder box, and kept thinking in his heart why the old witch insisted on letting the soldier Philip go to the tree hole, couldn't she go in by herself?

Could it be that only this soldier can go in, so what's so special about him?
