The Void Hound was galloping along the way. Although it often had to take detours to avoid people, it was much faster to simply ride a horse.
After most of the night passed, the giant dog knight William took the frog prince Helu to the outside of the gray mist forest.
Most of the forest was shrouded in gray fog, and under the moonlight of the dark night, there was a faint ominous omen.
Next to the big forest, William also discovered several low and dilapidated small huts, in which several families lived.
It should be a woodcutter or hunter nearby.
But looking at their living conditions, it seems that their lives are not very good.
The story of the witch in the candy house told by Helu, the Frog Prince, actually reminded William of a certain story in the Grimm's Fairy Tales - "Hansel and Gretel"!
And William is more than 90% sure that it was Gretel who secretly released the frog prince Helu from under the nose of the witch in the candy house.
William still remembered that Hansel and Gretel's father was a woodcutter who lived on the edge of the forest. Because life was difficult, under the strong advice of his remarried wife, he had to leave the two young children in the big forest.
inside.
Gretel overheard the conversation between her biological father and stepmother, so she was on guard and ran home successfully the first two times.
The third time, because the bread crumbs used as a mark for returning home were eaten by birds, they were unable to find their way home. Finally, they got lost in the gray fog forest and fell into the half-hearted man in the candy house.
Blind witch in the trap.
The witch in the candy house is indeed good at witchcraft such as transfiguration.
William still remembered that the witch in the fairy tale had some incredible treasures in her hands.
One of them is the transformation wand. Gretel used this transformation wand to escape the witch's pursuit and finally escaped.
Witchcraft such as transfiguration is a witchcraft that William has never been exposed to in the dark realm.
In the great library inside the Tower of Wisdom and Knowledge, William found no such witchcraft.
Although this type of witchcraft cannot directly increase William's combat effectiveness, in terms of assistance, the effect is first-rate - if this type of witchcraft can meet William's requirements.
Especially William, who is now being hunted by both black and white!
Both the Dark Witch Queen and the Holy Light's Holy Court wanted him, so he often had to disguise himself and did not dare to act openly.
Some important locations, such as the headquarters of the Holy Light Bishop's Court, the country where the Black Witch Queen is located, and the country where William traveled to for the first time, William did not dare to enter again, for fear of capsizing in the gutter.
However, this also caused William to lose many adventure opportunities.
I hope this transformation technique can change one of his current predicaments. William thought to himself, and said to the frog prince Helu, "Let's go, let's go see this legendary candy house."
"I have brought you here... Then I won't enter..." The frog prince Helu hesitated for a while, and then said to William cautiously.
It seems that he has quite a shadow over this place.
"Sorry, I'm afraid of the dark alone..." William smiled gently and cruelly rejected the request of Frog Prince Helu.
A black line suddenly appeared in the ear of the frog prince Helu - a dark creature is actually afraid of the dark? This is not a joke, this is mocking him.
"Let's go, Frog Prince." William waved his hand and said with a smile.
"My name is Helu!" The suppressed and helpless voice of the frog prince Helu came to his ears. William smiled faintly and walked into the gray mist forest under the dark night.
The Frog Prince looked at William's figure walking further and further away, with a tangled and helpless look on his face, and finally walked towards William quickly.
Two hours later.
William took the frog prince Helu across the entire gray fog forest, but did not find the candy house he mentioned.
The frog prince Helu stood aside uneasily and explained, "Maybe we are walking, or it is too dark in the forest to see clearly. Maybe we can go in and look for it again at dawn."
Heru, the frog prince, was just an ordinary person. His physical strength may be better than that of ordinary people due to the exercise and adequate nutrition he received from the nobles since childhood, but he could not bear to trek for such a long time without stopping.
His back was covered with sweat, and his long legs were numb and numb, but he did not dare to refuse any of William's "proposals".
After being poisoned by the witch's tea, he no longer dares to offend any witch, and his piety towards the Lord of Holy Light has also reached a higher level.
Unfortunately, from beginning to end, the Lord of Holy Light did not answer his prayers or send anyone to rescue him from William's clutches, which inevitably made him disappointed.
Listening to the words of the frog prince Helu, William remained calm and silent.
It's not because the night is too dark. For a level two wizard, this is not a problem.
Besides, William also has a magic mirror.
Before entering the gray fog forest, William asked the magic mirror to check the situation in the entire forest. However, to William's great surprise, the magic mirror did not find the so-called candy house.
This isn't right.
However, the Candy House may be protected by a barrier, blocking the detection of the magic mirror.
So William chose to go in and investigate in person.
However, after traveling through most of the gray fog forest, William and Magic Mirror found nothing unusual.
"Carefully examine every inch of the entire Gray Mist Forest. If there is any abnormality, tell me!" William ordered the magic mirror with his mental power.
"Yes, Master." The magic mirror was on full fire. With William's support, it consumed more energy and began to comprehensively and precisely detect the situation in the gray fog forest.
Ten minutes later.
The frog prince Helu waited uneasily for ten minutes.
The magic mirror replied to William, "Master, nothing unusual was found in the forest."
"Where's the gray mist? Where did it come from? Is it made by magic?" William asked relentlessly.
"No. The gray fog is generated under natural conditions, related to the forest land, climate, and one of the corrosive swamps. There are no traces of magic in it," the magic mirror replied.
William thought so too.
If there were traces of magic, and the clergy of the Holy Light's Holy Court were not blind, why wouldn't they come over to investigate, and why wouldn't they go over to eliminate it?
"In other words, there is no candy hut in the Gray Mist Forest?" William asked again.
"Yes, Master, there is not even a piece of unnatural candy in the Gray Mist Forest." Magic Mirror said.
Generally speaking, if the magic mirror says it is gone, it means it is gone.
But for some reason, William always had a hunch that the candy house was here.
Right in this damn gray mist forest.
It’s just that William hasn’t found the key to enter yet.
This premonition became even stronger after William practiced the "Curse of Fate" technique.
Is this a cue from River of Destiny?
This thought silently flashed through William's mind, and he suddenly turned his head and said to the frog prince Helu, "In this case, let's stay here for a while until we find this candy shack!"
