The fairy tale "Tinderbox" tells the story of a lucky soldier named Philip, who suddenly met an old witch who asked him to go to a tree hole to find treasure.

After entering the tree hole, the soldier brought back a large amount of gold coins and the tinder box that the old witch asked him to get.

Later, he asked the old witch what the tinder box was for. The old witch didn't answer, and was killed by the soldier with a sword. Later, the soldier discovered that the tinder box could summon three magical hounds.

Using these three hounds, he became the princess's husband, became the king, and reached the pinnacle of his life.

This story impressed Locke deeply. When he heard this story as a child, he thought that the old witch was evil and that the soldier Philip was really a good man. After gaining wealth, he distributed it to the poor, saying that he knew the pain of having no money.

But looking at it now, Locke's first feeling is that this soldier Philip is a white-eyed wolf.

It was like a deal. The old witch gave the soldier wealth and asked him to help get the tinder box. However, after the soldier got the wealth, he turned against the old witch and killed the old witch and kept the tinder box for himself.

The wealth he used to show off his generosity to the poor was all brought by the old witch. The tinderbox that helped him become a king and reach the peak of his life was obtained by killing the old witch with a black heart.

The old witch helped him gain wealth and did nothing against him, but she was killed by him, which shows that Philip the soldier was definitely not a good person.

If you think about it more carefully, isn't this a classic Western showmanship? From fairy tales, we can see the classic gangster thinking of Western civilization. Sure enough, many stories cannot stand up to careful consideration.

However, Locke did not act in a hurry. Instead, he watched the old witch perform magic on the big tree. After a while, he tied a rope on the soldier Philip and let him enter the tree hole.

Watching the old witch finish her magic, looking tired, Locke also understood why the old witch, a magician, was killed by an ordinary soldier.

It turned out that when she turned on the magic on the tree, she consumed too much magic power and was no longer able to deal with the soldiers, so she was killed by the soldiers with a sword.

Locke was also curious about the tinder box, but he was more interested in whether the old witch knew any special magic.

There is no meditation method that can be practiced independently in the fairy tale world. It is all inherited by blood, and the method of cultivation is to exercise and purify the blood.

This also means that the knowledge related to magic is only in the hands of these people with blood, just like the queen knows many magical magics that Locke has never seen.

The magic Locke used to control Lorraine Broughton was learned from the Queen.

The queen only taught Locke some ordinary magic, and did not disclose any more advanced mysterious magic, even though the two were already close.

Now Locke feels that he may have a chance to get her magic inheritance from the old witch. Before negotiating with the other party, he may be able to save the other party's life and reduce the difficulty of persuading the other party.

After waiting for a while, Locke saw the old witch pulling up the soldier Philip.

The sound of coins colliding constantly came from Soldier Philip's body. His pockets, leather boots, marching belt, and hat were all filled with gold coins, making him look bloated.

But the soldier Philip was smiling from ear to ear. After all, not long ago he was just an ordinary soldier with no money, but now he suddenly had a lot of money.

The old witch didn't care about these gold coins, she just wanted the tinder box, for which she had been looking for a long time. As soon as Philip came up, she couldn't wait to ask: "Where is the tinder box? Give it to me quickly!"

Seeing the old witch's appearance, the soldier Philip suddenly thought of a problem. The old witch was not interested in the gold coins in the house, but she insisted on the tinder box, must be because the tinder box was more precious.

But he couldn't see anything special about this tinderbox, so he asked, "What do you want this tinderbox for?"

"This has nothing to do with you!" said the old witch: "You have already received the wealth I promised, and now you must fulfill your promise."

"Hmph!" When the soldier Philip saw this, he was even more sure that there must be something special about the tinderbox. He immediately waited for the old witch and said, "Quickly tell me what it is used for, or I will chop off your head!"

"damn it!"

Seeing the soldier Philip staring with an attitude about to draw his sword, the old witch suddenly regretted that she had exhausted her magic power in order to open the magic on the tree hole, and now she had no power at all.

If he hadn't finally found a soul match, someone who wouldn't be rejected by the internal organs of the treasure, and was too excited and eager, he wouldn't have made such an oversight.

"Speak quickly! My patience is limited!" Soldier Philip urged.

"You damn robber, I shouldn't have brought you here!" The old witch couldn't help but cursed. As a wizard, she always had a sense of superiority when facing mortals.

At this time, facing the threat from the soldier Philip, she couldn't help but curse.

The next moment, the angry soldier Philip swung his sword and slashed at her neck.

The old witch was horrified, but after losing her magic power, she was just an ordinary old woman, unable to dodge this sudden attack.

"when!"

At this moment, a crisp sound of metal collision sounded.

Only then did the old witch realize that there was someone suddenly beside her, it was Locke.

He blocked Philip's sword, and then cut off the white-eyed wolf's head with a single stroke of his sword.

Arriving next to the corpse, Locke didn't pay attention to the gold coins, found the tinder box, and said: "You are really careless, and you are unprepared for someone you just met."

"Who are you?!" the old witch looked at Locke and asked.

"Locke Lee." Locke reported his name and said: "Now this tinder box that can summon three Warcraft hounds is in my hand, and your life is also in my hand. Let's make a deal. Bar."

"Locke Lee, you are from the Black Witch Queen!" The old witch stared at Locke closely: "Why do you know the secret of the tinder box?"

"That's not what you need to know." Locke shrugged.

"I have already said that I will not get involved in the fight between her and the Holy See. I am just an old witch with little strength." The old witch said.

"Of course I can tell." Locke also didn't expect that the old witch actually knew the queen, and the previously prepared response strategies also changed.

He released his magic power, made a proud attitude, stretched out his foot and kicked Philip's body:

"Not only are your magic powers inferior to mine, but you are also a fool. You were almost killed by a mortal. If it weren't for me, you would be a corpse right now."

"I was just careless for a moment." The old witch couldn't help but said loudly. Then she realized that Locke's magic power was much higher than hers. Her tone finally lowered and she said, "What do you want?"

"You have to hand over the magic inherited by your family." Locke said slowly, staring at the old witch.

"This is impossible!" the old witch screamed: "It is impossible for me to hand over the magic that has been passed down by my family for generations to you, a robber."

"Don't forget that I saved your life, and now it's easy for me to kill you." Locke said, showing a hint of murderous intent, and then suddenly smiled and said:

"And you just copied a copy of the inherited knowledge and gave it to me. There is no real loss to you, right?"

Faced with the real threat, the old witch fell silent, and after a while she said: "I can promise you, but you must also give me the tinder box."

"Yes, but in order to prevent you from regretting it, I need you to sign this magic contract." Locke said and waved his hand, and a magic contract appeared in front of the two people.

The old witch read the contract carefully and found that Locke was very careful. The contract even stipulated that after she got the tinder box back, she was not allowed to use the tinder box against him.

The plan in her heart failed, and the old witch could only sign her name honestly.

At this time, Locke's face showed a smile: "Isn't this great? Now I wish us a happy cooperation, and the queen will also be grateful for your contribution."

"Hmph!" The old witch snorted in displeasure: "Hurry up and give me the tinder box."

"Isn't it said in the contract? When you hand over all your magic knowledge to me, I will hand over the tinder box to you." Locke said:

"Now let's find a place to start the exchange. As for the body of this soldier, let him lie here."
