The best way to make someone grateful was to give them what they wanted . However, one must not be too generous else they would be taken as a fool .

Gretel had done an in-depth investigation into Link before she arrived . After thinking for a moment, an idea formed in her mind .

She said, "Link, I heard that you are doing research into Spatial Magic . If I am not mistaken, you are writing a thesis on the principle of s.p.a.ce . Is that so?"

Link looked at Gretel with a perplexed expression . He did not understand her intentions, though this was not a thing he wanted to conceal . He then nodded and said, "Indeed . "

"May I take a look at the draft?"

Link was elated upon hearing those words .

He remembered that Gretel was a Master Spatial Magician herself in game . In fact, the dragon race was known to be particularly talented at Spatial Magic . This was evident from the mist maze covering the Dragon Valley .

Her intention was to guide him along in his thesis!

"That would be my honor," Link said .

Following which, Link took out his thesis . This thesis was slightly thicker than the one he showed Milda . He had obviously made progress .

Link did not give up on the research of s.p.a.ce . He would still delve into it in his free time . There were now 20 new pages to this thesis .

Gretel studied the thesis carefully . At the start, she read with ease, commenting on a few areas casually . Her a.n.a.lysis was specific and valuable, each of them providing Link with new inspiration .

Her reading speed started decreasing after she reached the middle portion . It took her around two minutes per page . However, her a.n.a.lysis also became more in-depth and exquisite . Link could only understand some of them . He then took note of the points that he was confused on for future research .

There were a total of 150 pages in this thesis . At the last 20 pages, Gretel's reading speed slowed significantly . It would take her half an hour to read a page . After the second page of the final portion, she exclaimed, "To think that you have already reached this level . This is an extremely delicate portion of the thesis . I need some time to think before I can offer any suggestions . How about this, you get busy while I read your thesis . I will come back tomorrow with more advice . "

"That would be great . "　

Gretel then walked away with his thesis . On the other hand, Link continued reading the Talisman Magic book . When he was struck by an epiphany, he would then turn to his thesis and continue developing it .

Gretel arrived early the next morning . She was accompanied by Felina . Felina was already completely healed . She would leave the Dragon Valley together with Link and Nana to search for the exiled G.o.d after the Red Dragon Queen discussed the relevant issues with Link .

Felina was a beautiful and attractive lady . She was undoubtedly eye-catching . However, when she stood beside the Red Dragon Queen, her brilliance immediately dulled in comparison . 　　

Gretel was simply like a magnet, drawing all the attention to herself . 　

Naturally, this attraction was merely an instinct . Link's gaze only hovered around Gretel for a moment before he recollected himself . After greeting Gretel, he then looked at Felina with a concerned gaze and asked, "You still look pale . Do you want a few more days of rest?"　

Felina then smiled gratefully and said, "There is no need to . The queen has offered to treat my wounds herself . I feel better than ever . "

"That's great," Link muttered, though, in his mind, he had also decided to rest more frequently along the way to ease Felina's burden .

Gretel merely smiled as she waited for their conversation to end . Following which, she handed the thesis back to Link and commended, "I have to say that your thoughts are extremely intricate and ground-breaking . Many of the theories you have put forward are original and exquisite nonetheless . I have tried my best to complement them . Hope they are of some help . "　

At that moment, all her contempt for this human had dissipated . She had already viewed Link as a being that was able to communicate with her on an equal footing . 　

Link took over the thesis and flipped through it briefly . He realized that the thesis had five full pages added to it . He then glanced through the added content and was shocked to find that he could only understand a portion of what was written . This piqued his curiosity and propelled him to read it carefully on the spot . As he read, his eyes widened and glimmered with excitement . Eventually, he could not help but slam the table in euphoria .

Link the realized that he had lost his cool . He then said, "I'm sorry . your Majesty, these magic equations are simply too exquisite . They s.h.i.+ne as brightly as the stars on the horizon!"

Gretel then smiled and seemed to glow even more radiantly .

She felt nothing when people complimented her looks . She had long grown numb to these superficial compliments after living for 2000 years . If someone were to stare at her face permanently, she would be disgusted and annoyed . However, she felt accomplished and valued when Link commended her intellect and wisdom .

Furthermore, this human knew his boundaries as well . He merely stared at her for a moment before averting his gaze . He had also treated Felina with the utmost respect .

Gretel then replied, "I am honored that you appreciate them . "

Felina was startled at this scene . She looked between Link and Gretel with a curious gaze . She wondered what Link did to make the queen so happy .

The death and betrayal of the three dukes and the destruction of the Balanced Scale should have made her extremely depressed . However, Gretel was acting as if none of that ever happened .

On the other hand, Link knew that they were about to leave and this was his last few chances at getting valuable advice from Gretel . He then took advantage of the opportunity to consult this Master Spatial Magician .

As Gretel was in an exceptionally good mood, she answered him patiently .

There were some areas that were more controversial, and Link would question Gretel's conclusion . He would do this based purely on logic and precise a.n.a.lysis . As usual, his thoughts are extremely sharp and impactful, resulting in acute questions . Gretel had to ponder for a long time before she could answer him .

Most of the time, Link was the one who was wrong . However, there were two areas where Gretel was indeed mistaken .

"How could I be wrong?" Gretel was shocked . She had studied magic for 2000 years and had developed a strong logical mind . To think that this treasured set of wisdom she had trained over the years had made a mistake! Furthermore, she was corrected by a mere mortal! She had really met her match . 　　

The two of them quickly became immersed in their discussion and lost track of time . At times, they would fall silent thinking about the magic equations . When the discussion gets heated, they would then shout at the top of their lungs to prove their point . Felina stared at the peculiar scene in confusion .

One day pa.s.sed quickly . This was the day Link was supposed to set off . 　

Gretel only recollected herself at midnight . However, she was still craving for more intellectual discourse . After some thought, she said, "Felina, why not you rest for a few more days?"

"My Queen… alright then," Felina was about to say they were running out of time when she saw Gretel's glimmering eyes . It was rare that Gretel could find something she was interested in to take her mind off the depressing thoughts . Felina could not bear to rob her of this happiness and nodded begrudgingly .

Following which, Gretel then cast her glance back onto Link and said, "Although your hypothesis on this Folded Spatial Extension theory is intricate, it is definitely flawed . I still cannot point out where exactly the problem lies, but it is definitely wrong . Let's rest for the night . I will definitely prove it to you tomorrow morning!"

Link was a madman when it came to magic . Having immersed himself too deep into the discussion, he had long forgotten that Gretel was the revered Queen of the Red Dragons and reb.u.t.ted, "I don't think there is a problem! I will prove it to you as well!"　　

"Hmph, there is no point in being stubborn . We'll see!" Gretel shot him a glance before she left . 　　

Link then took advantage of the time to rest . The Red Dragon Queen was a Legendary individual and required little to no rest . However, he was still a mortal and was already feeling the fatigue from a full day of mind-boggling discussion . He still pressed on as chances to discuss magic with such powerful figures would not come often . 　　

The next morning, Gretel came knocking on his door extremely early . She shouted, "Link, wake up . My instincts were right! Your equation was wrong!"

Knock! The knocking sound echoed through the room, rudely waking Link up from his sleep .

"Nana, please open the door . "

After giving a long yawn, Link sat up with his eyes still half-closed . He then looked at his watch and realized that it was only four o'clock in the morning . He had only slept for four hours .

He then placed his hands on his head as he sat motionless on his bed . He could feel a throbbing sensation in his head and also the fatigue from yesterday's discussion .

Gretel then arrived in front of him excitedly . She then said, "Link, Link… alright, a mortal's body is still too fragile . "

Link's appearance had doused all her pa.s.sion and excitement . She did not rest even after she left Link's room nor did she need any . She worked through the night and finally found a flaw in the equation . She could not hold in her excitement and rushed down to inform Link immediately . It had never crossed her mind that Link would be resting . This was a downer .

Even if she had won this intellectual discourse, she did not feel accomplished . 　

It would only be fulfilling if both of them were performing at their best, their minds whirling at high speed, sparking intelligent arguments and discussions . Only those engaging discourse would take her mind off the depressing things that happened recently .

However, there was no one in the dragon race who could offer her such fulfillment . Most dragons were talented Warriors with strong battle capabilities . Alas, they were not well-versed in the complicated theories of Spatial Magic . Dabbling in Spatial Magic theories would be suicidal to them .

It was such a waste that a rare prodigy like Link had such a weak physical body .

At that moment, Gretel had completely forgotten about her original intention of getting on Link's good side . She only wished to immerse herself in the research of Spatial Magic so as to distance herself from the pain in her heart .

"I can find someone else… probably not, a Spatial Magician is not easy to find! Furthermore, a prodigy like Link is not such easily obtainable . He is probably the only person in the World of Firuman with such intellect . "

After a moment of thought, an idea sprung into Gretel's mind . She then blurted out, "Link, why don't you undergo the dragonification process?"
