Chapter 175 The Old Witch's Fraud

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

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

Locke was not interested in such a thing. He finished drinking the wine in the cup and was about to continue his journey. 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 to help people see their future destiny. Many people tried it with the idea of ​​trying it, but found that it was quite effective.

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

This conversation I heard by chance made Locke interested, and the boss said that the old witch would appear in a while, so he decided to stay for a while to see where this old witch who could divine was.

Sure enough, within a while, Locke saw an old witch coming to the tavern. Locke sensed it a little and noticed the existence of magic from the other party.

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

However, Locke was still very surprised that this old witch was so arrogant. Although this kingdom was not completely controlled by the Holy See, the Holy See still had a strong influence here.

When he came here, Locke had to change his outfit and change his name to avoid attracting the attention of the Holy See. But this old witch showed his ability to divine so easily, and I really don’t know where he got such a courage.

After the old witch arrived, she was surrounded by a group of people. Locke looked around the outside and saw that she was wearing a gray robe and a blue plaid apron around her waist. The wrinkles on her face were very deep, so she 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 soldier dressed in came in.

"Give me a glass of wheat wine." The soldier said to the front of the bar.

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

Many of the soldiers sent home on the battlefield were ruthless characters. If they saw blood on the battlefield and had weapons, they might not be sure to do something like killing and setting fire.

After seeing the soldier, the old witch was stunned at first, then she showed a hint of joy in her eyes, and said to the soldier: "This soldier, I see the extraordinary courage and strong heart from you!"

Locke raised his brows and began to look at the soldier. The old witch's words just now were faintly excited and impatient, which made Locke curious.

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

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

"Hahaha..." The old witch saw that she attracted the attention of the soldiers and smiled happily: "It's just a small game. I'm just helping people find the trajectory of their destiny through divination."

"Divine?!" The soldier looked at the old witch: "It's really interesting."

"If you are interested, I can help you divine and see your future." The old witch's words were a bit seductive.

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

"Of course, sit down first, what is your soldier?" the old witch asked after he greeted the soldier and sat down.

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

"Soldier Philip?!"

After hearing this name, he looked at the old witch again. Locke thought of a fairy tale - a tinderbox!

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

"It's very simple. You just need to put your hands on this crystal ball." The old witch said with a chuckle.

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

"How is it?" asked the soldier Philip.

"Very good!" The old witch's eyes showed an expression of ecstasy. She stared at the soldier Philip for a long time, and she said slowly until he felt a little scared in his heart:

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

"You want me to give you the money you have, right?" Soldier Philip interrupted the old witch: "I have seen a lot of experience in your scam, and I will not be fooled!"

After saying that, soldier Philip ignored the old witch who was stunned, 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 moment she took the crystal ball and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave, you haven't taught us a fortune yet!" said the person in the tavern.

The old witch ignored these people at all and left the tavern.

Looking at the old witch's back as he left, Locke thoughtfully, but did not follow him, but 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 has not seen anything special about that soldier Philip, but from the old witch's reaction, Locke knows that she has chosen the soldier Philip in the fairy tale.

After the old witch left, it was a pity for everyone else in the tavern, saying that the old witch did not divine them, because the old witch's divination was still very effective these days.

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

He left the city and walked on the road. As the evening approached, it became darker and he didn't care much. His career on the battlefield had learned how to deal with danger.

A familiar figure appeared in front of him, 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 on it, so you don't have to find a way to deceive me."

"If you think so, you will misunderstand me." The old witch said: "Your sword is so good, your marching bag is so big, I can see that you are a very good soldier, and I can make you like as much as you have."

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

"This is the instruction of fate." The old witch said: "Did you see the big tree next to you? It's empty. If you climb to the top of the tree, you can see a hole. If you slip down, you can drill into the hole in the tree."

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

"Of course this can't be seen from the appearance." The old witch said: "It has magic protection on it. Only by untiing the magic can you see its true face. There are countless money waiting for you to get it."

"Really?" Soldier Philip was finally moved. After fighting for several years, although he gained all his skills, he did not gain any wealth. The king sent him away with very little money.

"Of course, I won't lie to a brave soldier. It won't delay you much time, and you will soon 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 deceive me, I will make you pay the price." Soldier Philip said, staring at the old witch.

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

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

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