Advent of the Archmage Chapter 313

"Your Majesty, may I know what brings you here?" Link asked awkwardly . 　　

Link had not fully repaired Nana, and she was laying on the table completely naked . Although Nana's body was not gender-differentiated, her smooth skin and delicate features were clearly more feminine . Link was already used to this sight . However, this was still slightly awkward in front of a stranger .

Link had still underestimated the Red Dragon Queen . She had already lived for thousands of years . What else had she not seen?

Gretel walked beside the table and observed Nana carefully . After a few minutes, she smiled and said, "It is an impressive magic puppet . Although the durability of her body is too low . "

In fact, it was already strong for a magic puppet . To be able to withstand a blow from a Level-8 Dragon Warrior was already the maximum one could expect from mortal materials . Although Nana was injured in the battle with the Dragon Warrior, she was still able to defeat him, clearly showing her capabilities . 　　

Although in the eyes of a Legendary individual like Gretel, Nana was definitely still too weak .

Link would naturally nor argue against her words at that moment . That would bring him no benefit . He followed Gretel's train of thought and said, "This is indeed Nana's weakness . However, I have already done all I could . "

Link realized that Nana was looking at him all this time . He then smiled back at her apologetically .

Following which, he saw Gretel took out a red glowing light ball around the size of a fist .

This ball of light was peculiar . After Gretel let go of it, it levitated in the air motionlessly . One would almost think that it was a stationary red ball in the air . However, closer inspection would reveal that this ball was a congregation of many small red spots, where each red spot was composed by a cluster of runes . Each rune had a role to play individually and resonated with the other runes in a specific and strange manner . This unimpressive small red ball was actually insanely complicated .

Upon seeing such an object, Link subconsciously exclaimed, "The Origin Substance?"

The Origin was where all life began . Conversely, it could also turn into anything and breathe life to objects . From another perspective, the Origin could also be described as the Principle .

The Origin Substance was basically the power of principles in a solid form, made from high-level alchemic techniques . It gave a form to the power of principles, making it tangible . This form subsequently became known as the Origin Substance .

This was slightly similar to the Breakpoint dagger which had fixed a point of singularity . The only difference was that the principles governing the dagger came from a broader and more complex Sea of Void, while the Origin Substance was merely a form of the principles governing the World of Firuman . There was a difference in the quality of these two objects .

This time, Link could identify this substance, not because of his in-game memory, but because he had read about it in a book named Law of Alchemy .

That magic book was part of the treasured collection of Master Grenci . It described the Origin Substance in great detail . Neither the humans nor the Yabbas and the High Elves had possession of this object . The only masters who knew how to create this substance came from the dragon race .

Link could not help but harbor the intention to research into this treasure .

On the other hand, Gretel stared at Link's glimmering eyes and laughed . "This is indeed termed as the Origin Substance in the human race . However, the dragon race calls it by a different name . We call it the Essence of Life . "

"Oh, the dragon race sure is particular . " Link no longer thought of this person as the Red Dragon Queen, but his mentor .

Gretel had also recognized Link's wisdom and replied to him seriously in kind . She pointed to Nana and explained, "Look at her . Is she really not strong enough?"　

"Truth to be told, I think she is already pretty darn strong," Link said .

"Yes, for a mortal object, reaching around Level-8 in strength is probably the limit . But that is not true for living things . For us, even Level-9 is not the limit . We still have the revered Legendary status and after which, the Sacred Realm and finally, the ultimate Realm of Gods . Why is that so?"

This was something Link had never thought about . His eyes brightened up and continued along that line of thought, "This is because every part of their body is alive . Their bodies can be damaged, but at the same time, they can heal . They can heal even faster than they are damaged, which explains why they can exist indefinitely . "

Gretel nodded her head in satisfaction . She had taken a liking to this human's mind . He was well-read and reacted fast to new knowledge . He also had a flair for understanding the most complicated of theories . From what she knew, he was merely 19 years old . It was unimaginable how a person could reach this level of wisdom in such a short time . 　

She applauded and said, "Yes, that is the case . Living things have almost absolute control over every part of their bodies . We will attempt to repair whatever is broken and even try to improve on it! I created the Essence of Life based on this very principle . "

As she said those words, she waved to the floating ball of red light . This light ball immediately turned into a long thread of light, returning back to her hands .

Link's vision was brought along by this thread of light to Queen Gretel's hands . He stared at it for a few seconds before the impulse to bring this smooth and silky hand home to caress almost overwhelmed him .

What am I thinking about! Link forcibly retracted his gaze .

"This Essence of Life cannot increase the durability of your magic puppet immediately . However, it will bestow upon her the properties of life . Not only can her wounds heal, but she can also absorb energy . After absorbing enough energy, she might even be able to defend herself against the attack of a person who has reached the Sacred Realm .

Gretel played with the Essence of Life on her fingers flexibly . In her hands, that Origin Substance simply looked like a dark red ribbon, encircling her ever so gracefully .

Link naturally knew what to do after hearing her words . He asked, "What do I have to do to get it?"　

There is no such thing as free lunch in this world . If he wanted to obtain this Essence of Life, he had to give something in return . This was a principle Link held dear .

The moment he said those words, Gretel squinted her eyes as she teased, "You exposed Osiris' plot . That alone is a huge favor I have to repay . I was planning to give this to you . However, seeing that you have taken extra rewards without my permission, I cannot give you this for free anymore . "

She then put the Essence of Life away .

Link reacted fast to those words . He understood exactly what Gretel meant by "extra rewards . " She was referring to the two drops of tears he had taken from the Dragon Temple!

Even Link who had cultivated a thick skin could not withstand the embarrassment . His face turned red as he said awkwardly, "I simply felt that it would be a waste if I just left it on the ground . Many of them were crushed by the feet of other dragons . If you want it, I can always return it to you . Is that okay?"

Gretel was just about to poke fun at Link when she was reminded of Osiris . Her mood immediately sunk and lost all interest in making jokes . She sighed, "Forget it . Those were simply painful memories . Take what you want . You may also have this Origin Substance . However, it is the treasure of the dragon race . You cannot research into it . "

She then placed her hands on Nana's heart, causing the Essence of Life to flow into her body as though it was alive . 　

Following which, Nana's body started showing minor changes .

Originally, although her skin was flawless and white, it did not possess the texture of real skin . If one were to inspect closely, one would realize that Nana was not so human after all . However, clear skin texture could be felt and even seen after the integration of the Essence of Life . That was not all . Her eyes were originally of a uniform color . However, her pupils seemed to be slightly darker than the surrounding parts now, giving her gaze a sort of warmth previously not present .

Nana's body also underwent other changes that made her more life-like . Her mouth was originally just a sound box . However, it had now turned into a real mouth with teeth and a tongue . Something even appeared in between her pristine white legs…Link averted his gaze after taking a glance at it . 　

"This is beyond my imagination," Link smiled awkwardly . He would not have to help Nana with the healing of her wounds from now on, nor could he request for her to undress as conveniently as he did .

Gretel, on the other hand, did not feel that anything was inappropriate . She smiled as she said, "Life is the greatest miracle in the world . Each of the body parts is perfect . The Essence of Life my race had created is borne from our respect for these miracles . They are not merely aesthetic, but also useful . It can help the magic puppet obtain energy from the outside world, replenishing whatever that is lacking within its own . "

Link imagined the scene in his head . If Nana were to see a rare mineral, she could simply gobble it down to replenish the loss of any body parts…This would be convenient . It would also present Nana with infinite evolutionary possibilities . The transformation process would take some time .

The Red Dragon Queen then made use of this time to get to the main topic, "I came to discuss the Dark Serpent . "　　

Link's face immediately turned serious as he said, "Please continue . "

Red Dragon Gretel started taking care of Nana's transformation by hand as she said, "Our race had defended against the Dark Serpent for a total of three times in history . Although the Dark Serpent would change form every time it enters the World of Firuman, there is a being in this world that could accurately determine the principles governing the Dark Serpent and offer countermeasures to it . Apart from my race, no one knows about his existence . "　

This was something new to Link . In the game, the Dark Serpent was rejected from the World of Firuman after running out of energy . No one could stand up to it while it was present . Naturally, he would not know about the presence of such a being .

However, if this being was as strong as the Red Dragon Queen made him out to be, he would definitely be the bane of the Dark Serpent . Link was slightly agitated as he asked, "This being is . . . ?"

"You might have heard about his alias in the human world," Gretel stuck out her finger and wrote a name in the air, "Elodim Fen Sendac . "

Link was reminded of something when he saw that name . He exclaimed, "Isn't this the name of a renowned Spatial Magician 800 years ago? I even read a book that he wrote . It was called…um…Son of A Gun and Son of a Bitch…"

"Son of a Gun" was how he termed space, while "son of a bitch" was what he referred to as time…This Magician was truly a peculiar one, though his thoughts were brilliant and intricate . He had provided Link with much inspiration .

Gretel nodded helplessly and said, "That name sounds like something he would come up with . He is actually a God, though he lost all his powers after losing a bet to the God of Light . He was then exiled to the World of Firuman . "　

"Exiled after losing a bet?" Link felt that this was atrocious .

Gretel waved her hands and said, "Alright, that is not the main point . Most importantly, he had a good knowledge of the Divine Gear . If you can find him, and he is willing to help, the Dark Serpent will no longer be a threat . "

Upon hearing these words, Link fell speechless and muttered, "He was exiled by the God of Light . He must be fuming mad! Why would he want to help us?"　

Gretel then chuckled, "To each their own . "

"How do I find him when Firuman is so huge?"

"Felina will accompany you . He had a contract with my race . Although 3000 years have passed, the contract is still valid . People of my race can still sense his existence and location . "

Link could only nod as he said, "I understand . I will find him as fast as possible . "　　

Following which, a message appeared in his field of vision .

Activate Mission: Exile

Content: Search for the god that was exiled to the World of Firuman

Reward: 200 Omni Points

What else could Link do? He accepted it begrudgingly . 　

Red Dragon Queen Gretel had finally completed the transformation as well . She retracted her hand from Nana's body .

Nana then sat up with her new body . Link was extremely satisfied with the transformation except for one part . There were two excess pieces of meat in front of her chest . This was an insult to Nana's speed! It was blasphemy!

This was simply too wicked!

"Your Majesty, this will affect her agility," Link whispered . 　

"Oh no . I have considered this . In fact, this will greatly reduce the impact of any external forces on Nana's body and will not negatively affect her durability at all . It will only affect her speed slightly . However, you have to admit that even if she was slightly slower, it would not affect her battle capabilities . She is already fast enough as it is . "

Link could not rebut against that point . He dressed Nana in her armor before he said, "We will set off after Felina recovers . "

"Three days would be enough . Take this time to rest . Elodim will not be easy to find . "
