Henry went back with doubts and reported to Hasmah XI.
In fact, this is the right thing to do.
Because according to the plot of the fairy tale "The Frog Prince" that William had read, Henry never found the prince from beginning to end. It was the prince who took the initiative to contact Henry after breaking the magic.
Without William's reminder, even if Henry went out to look around now, it would only be in vain.
And because of the power struggle, Henry did not dare to make a big splash and could only search secretly and privately, which was even less efficient.
It is already difficult to find a person, let alone a frog, let alone a frog like a headless fly.
William now also wants to find the Frog Prince.
The real purpose is to find the witch who cast the transformation spell on the Frog Prince.
William is very interested in this magic.
If this magic can achieve the effect he wants, maybe it can help William achieve certain goals.
But the prerequisite is to find the Frog Prince, so that William can know who the witch is!
In fact, after recalling the entire fairy tale, William has always had a doubt in his heart: Why does the Frog Prince know how to break the magic?
How can children care about details when reading fairy tales?
But when adults are in such a fairy tale world, they have to pay attention to its logic.
William guessed that there were two possibilities.
Either the frog prince has known the witch for a long time, and there is a close relationship between the two, so the frog prince knows how to break the magic.
Either another wizard or some being told the Frog Prince how to crack it!
Knowing how to break this magic means that you also understand this magic.
No matter what the possibility is, William must find the Frog Prince, and it is best to find him as soon as possible to have a chance to follow the clues.
On the road outside the city of Salzburg, the loyal guard Henry endured the pain in his chest and drove his horse back to Hasma Castle. William was watching quietly behind him, his eyes shining with a faint light.

…
The place where the borders of the Kingdom of Desia, the Kingdom of Louis, and the Principality of Salz meet, is a vast, dense forest shaped like an irregular diamond.
In the forest, there are lush plants, flying birds and animals, and abundant products. Therefore, over hundreds of years, several small villages or towns have spontaneously formed in the outer zone of the forest, making a living by hunting, gathering, or selling wood.
But strangely, the inner area of the forest is covered with a gray mist all year round.
The source of the fog has always been a mystery.
Some scholars speculate that there may be a large swamp deep in the forest, and the gas rising from the swamp forms a gray fog that covers most of the forest.
Once many hunters or loggers enter by mistake, they easily lose their way and are eventually devoured by wild beasts inside the forest.
Therefore, this forest is also called the Gray Mist Forest and the Lost Forest.
At night, deep in the gray mist forest, on a tree trunk entangled with thorns, stood an extremely beautiful bird that was all white.
Even the two smart eyes are snow white.
The moonlight shines on it, like a sacred white elf.
Not far behind it, there is a small house with bright candlelight.
A magical house made of candy.
The hut is made of white bread.
The roof is a thick cake.
The windows are bright candy bars.
Milky white milk flows in the gutters.
On the road leading to the hut, the floors are made of sugar cookies.
There is an alluring fragrance everywhere.
But what is strange is that there is not even a bug near this candy house, let alone a ferocious beast.
It's like a quiet place.
Suddenly, an unpleasant sound like a night dove came from the weird candy house, breaking the silence of the night.
"Gretel..."
"Deng, Deng, Deng..." footsteps came from the side yard of the Candy Cottage, followed by an innocent girl with two braids on her head.
The girl was wearing a white maid apron, revealing two long white legs, and a pair of round-toe shoes.
Like a butterfly, she came to the main entrance of the candy house, gently opened the door made of snow cakes, and immediately saw an ugly man in the house, leaning on a weird-shaped crutch, staring with scarlet eyes.
The old woman holding her.
Although the old woman's red eyes were staring at the girl without blinking, a closer look revealed that the old woman's eyes were empty and unfocused, showing that she had poor eyesight.
"Gretel, you went to see your damn brother again!" the old woman said angrily to the girl.
"Mentor, my brother doesn't deserve to die!" the maid girl Gretel retorted quietly but firmly.
The old woman's eyesight was not good, but her hearing was very sharp. She said in a sharp voice, "Anyone who does not have the qualifications of a witch is a damned person! Gretel, you are different from him. You have the qualifications of a witch. Your qualifications,
Even the gods will be jealous when they see it. You should focus your energy on learning witchcraft, not on a damn guy. The only function of this kind of guy is to make delicious food.
Boost your magic!"
At the end of the sentence, the old woman's voice rose a few degrees higher, like a sharp knife cutting through the glass, which made people feel indescribably uncomfortable.
Gretel stubbornly turned her head away and did not respond to the old woman.
But the old woman thought that Gretel had been persuaded by her, and she showed a ferocious smile on her face. She thought for a moment and said, "I'm so glad that you can realize this, Gretel. We should celebrate. Come, let's enjoy a wonderful meal."
Frog dinner.”
"A pampered prince turns into a frog, which can give us psychological satisfaction and can also greatly nourish and enhance our magic power."
"Come on, Gretel, you should try the specialty of Candy House. This is the technology of our Candy House that is comparable to potions, and it doesn't have such big side effects."
"Human beings are our lambs!"
"Gretel, as long as you master the transformation technique of the Candy House, you will eventually surpass me and become... a frog?"
"Gretel, where is the frog that the prince turned into?"
When the old woman discovered that the frog was missing, her face was startled, and she immediately roared and questioned Gretel.
"Teacher, I don't know what you are talking about?" Gretel pretended to be stupid.
That innocent look makes people feel believable at first glance.
It's a pity that the old woman is half-blind and can't see Gretel's expression at all.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This is that guy..." The old woman suddenly stopped talking.
