Chapter 492: The Disappearing Candy House
The Voidhound gallops all the way, and although it is often necessary to take a detour to avoid the crowds, it is much faster to simply ride a horse.
After the middle of the night, William, the giant dog knight, took the frog prince Heru to the outside of the Grey Mist Forest.
Most of the forest was shrouded in gray mist, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in the moonlight of the night.
Next to the Great Forest, William also found several low, dilapidated huts with several families.
It should be a nearby woodcutter or hunter.
However, looking at their living conditions, life should not be very good.
The story of the witch in the candy hut told by Heru, the frog prince, actually reminded William of a certain story in Grimm's fairy tales - "Hansel and Gretel"!
And William was more than ninety percent sure that in the candy hut, from under the nose of the witch, the one who secretly let go of the frog prince Heru was that Gretel.
William remembered that Hansel and Gretel's father, a woodcutter who lived on the edge of the forest, had to leave the two young men in the forest at the strong suggestion of his remarried wife because of the difficult times.
Gretel overheard the conversation between his father and stepmother, so he was on guard and ran home the first two times.
The third time, they were unable to find their way home because the crumbs of bread used to mark their return home were eaten up by the birds, and they ended up getting lost in the Grey Mist Forest and falling into the trap of the half-blind witch in the candy hut.
The witch in the candy hut was indeed good at magic like Transfiguration.
William still remembers that this witch in the fairy tale had several amazing treasures in her hands.
One of them was the Transfiguration Wand, which Glitter used to evade the witch's pursuit and escape.
Transfiguration is a kind of witchcraft that William has not been exposed to in the Black Realm.
In the Great Library of the Tower of Wisdom and Curiosity, William found no such witchcraft.
Although this type of sorcery does not directly increase William's combat power, in terms of support, the effect is first-class - if this type of sorcery can meet William's requirements.
William, in particular, is now being pursued in black and white!
He is wanted by both the Dark Witch Queen and the Holy See of Light, causing him to disguise himself a lot of times and not dare to act in the light.
Some important places, such as the base camp of the Holy Light Bishop, the country where the Black Witch Queen is located, that is, the country where William first crossed over, William did not dare to enter again, for fear of capsizing in the gutter.
However, this also caused William to lose a lot of adventure opportunities.
Hopefully, this transfiguration will change one of his current predicaments. William thought to himself, and said to Heru, the frog prince, "Let's go, let's go and see this legendary candy house." ”
"I've brought you here...... Then I won't enter......" The frog prince Heru hesitated a little, hesitated for a while, and then said cautiously to William.
It seems that he has a lot of shadows here.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid of the dark ...... alone" William smiled softly and cruelly rejected the request of the frog prince Heru.
A black line suddenly appeared in the ears of the frog prince Heru - a dark creature is actually afraid of the dark? It's not a joke, it's a mockery of him.
"Let's go, Frog Prince." William waved his hand and smiled.
"My name is Heru!" With the suppressed and helpless voice of the frog prince Heru in his ears, William smiled faintly and walked into the gray mist forest under the night.
The frog prince looked at William's figure as he walked farther and farther away, with a tangled and helpless look on his face, and finally walked quickly towards William.
Two hours later.
William and Heru, the Frog Prince, traverse the Grey Mist Forest, but they do not find the candy hut he was talking about.
Heru, the prince of the frogs, stood by with trepidation and explained, "Maybe we are walking, or the forest is too dark to see clearly, or we will go in and look for it when it is dawn." ”
The frog prince Heru is just an ordinary person, and his physical strength may be better than that of ordinary people because of the exercise and sufficient nutrition among the young nobles, but he can't bear to trek for such a long time without stopping.
His back was already sweating profusely, and his two long legs were crispy and numb, but he didn't dare to refuse any of William's "proposals".
After the witch's tea poison, he now does not dare to offend any wizard, and his devotion to the Lord of Light has also reached a higher level.
Unfortunately, the Lord of Light did not answer his prayers and did not send someone to free him from William's clutches, which made him inevitably disappointed.
Listening to the words of the frog prince Heru, William kept his face calm and silent.
It's not that the night is too dark, it's not a problem for a second-level wizard.
What's more, William still has a magic mirror.
When he didn't enter the Grey Mist Forest, William asked the Magic Mirror to investigate the entire forest, but to William's great surprise, the Magic Mirror did not find the so-called Candy House.
It's not right.
However, the Candy House may be guarded by an enchantment, shielding it from the detection of the Magic Mirror.
So William chose to go into the investigation himself.
However, after walking through most of the Gray Mist Forest, William and the Magic Mirror found nothing unusual.
"Carefully inspect every inch of the entire Gray Mist Forest, and tell me if there is anything abnormal!" William ordered the magic mirror with his mental power.
"Yes, master." The Magic Mirror was in full swing, and with William's support, it consumed more energy and began to comprehensively and meticulously detect the situation in the Grey Mist Forest.
Ten minutes later.
The frog prince Heru waited anxiously for ten minutes.
The magic mirror replied to William, "Master, nothing unusual has been found in the forest. ”
"What about the Grey Mist? Where did it come from? Is it magical? William asked, unrelentingly.
"It's not. The gray mist is generated under natural conditions, related to the land of the forest, the climate, and one of the corrosive swamps, and there is no trace of magic in it. The Magic Mirror replied.
William thought about it too.
If there is a trace of magic, and the clergy of the Holy See are not blind, why won't they come to investigate, why won't they go over and exterminate them?
"In other words, there are no candy huts in the Grey Mist Forest?" William said again.
"Yes, master, there isn't even a single piece of unnaturally produced candy in the Grey Mist Forest." Magic Mirror Road.
Generally speaking, if the magic mirror says no, it is no.
But for some reason, William always had a hunch that the candy hut was here.
It's in this damn gray fog 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 hint from the River of Destiny?
This thought flashed silently through William's heart, and he suddenly turned his head and said to Heru, the frog prince, "In that case, let's stay here for a while until we find this candy hut!" ”
"Huh?"
