Indeed… Although it was annoying, Ellie really needed this ring and bracelet. After all, the problem that had always plagued her was her level. Although she could use equipment and skills without class restrictions or usage limits, the inability to raise her level was her biggest weakness. As long as she encountered skills or magic that were effective against levels, she would be at a loss.
"The Magic Bracelet can increase your level by three. Although for your pitiful Level One, it should be a great help, right? Plus the one level increase from the Magic Ring, you, Ellie-chan, should now be Level Five. And then! Next, I'm going to tell you something that will make you jump for joy. This set of magic accessories that can directly increase levels is a three-piece set. The last remaining piece is a magic necklace that can directly increase five levels. How about it? Happy? Surprised? If you get the necklace, you can directly soar to Level Ten! And there's an even bigger surprise later: after collecting the three-piece set, there will be an additional effect of increasing ten levels, which means you can reach Level Twenty in one go!"
Looking at Bai Xia's subsequent explanation of the magic bracelet and that magic necklace, Ellie was indeed very tempted. If she could instantly soar to Level Twenty, she would be able to use almost all common magic and would no longer need to rely on magic scrolls.
However, this person proposing the magic necklace definitely had ulterior motives. Since the ring and bracelet were deposits, then the final reward should be the necklace.
"But I also have some bad news to tell you. That magic necklace is hanging around my neck. You, being smart, should understand what I mean, right?"
See? That necklace is clearly something she only intends to give her after she saves her. Of course… this is also her one-sided word. Who knows if this person will keep her promise after being released? It might even turn out that she becomes an enemy, which would be terrible. She definitely couldn't defeat someone who could create such equipment.
"Ellie-chan, you must be very suspicious right now about whether I will go back on my word, right? Well! No matter what, you are the daughter of Lord Ainz, who loves to outwit thin air! I can understand your caution, just like him. Anyway, I'm laying it out here: as long as you can help me, I will give you the necklace directly and will not be hostile towards you or Nazarick. After all, my old home was originally Nazarick, so how could I possibly be detrimental to Nazarick and Lord Ainz?"
This person really saw right through her thoughts, and even knew about her father Ainz's existence and his affairs. This also proved that this person indeed had some connection with Nazarick.
Otherwise, she shouldn't have known Father Ainz's true nature. Of course, it's not ruled out that she foresaw all of this using her precognitive ability? But if that's the case, isn't her precognitive ability too much of a cheat? Can it even foresee a person's inner nature? It feels a bit outrageous, but she feels like she can trust her now.
"So, Ellie-chan, you must have decided to help me, right? I know, you definitely wouldn't leave a senior from Nazarick to such a fate and wouldn't stand by and do nothing, right? I knew Ellie-chan would definitely help!"
Originally, without this letter, she had intended to meet Bai Xia. Now that she had seen this letter, she absolutely could not leave this dangerous individual unchecked. If she was an ally, that would be fine. If she was an enemy, then only Father Ainz could deal with her, as her precognitive ability was truly too much.
"So, let's get to the point. Since I've entrusted you with a mission, it would be too heartless not to tell you the mission clues. Such conscientious employers are rare these days! Ellie-chan, you must cherish me!"
Infuriating… The more Ellie read, the more annoyed she became at this person's arrogant tone.
"When you see this letter from me, if nothing unexpected has happened, my main body should still be with Platinum Dragon Lord, right? So, I'll have to trouble Ellie-chan to find Platinum Dragon Lord and rescue me. With the power of my magic bracelet, you should be strong enough to beat Platinum Dragon Lord. Actually, Platinum Dragon Lord isn't as formidable as you imagine!"
The "Platinum Dragon Lord" she mentioned must be the Platinum Dragon Lord? He was the only one Ellie could think of.
The Eight Greed Kings' Guild Weapon was kept by him, and Ligurit had also mentioned seeing Bai Xia's main body. Ligurit could only have had the opportunity to see Bai Xia through the Platinum Dragon Lord.
However, what Bai Xia said, was her Level Five self really strong enough to beat the Platinum Dragon Lord? One must know that that guy, even in his controlled armor state, could withstand a blow from an unarmed Shalltear.
Moreover, Ligurit also said that if he hadn't put restrictions on himself, he would be the strongest native, and she also knew that the Platinum Dragon Lord could still use Original Magic. Plus, he also had the Eight Greed Kings' Guild Weapon in his hands. Even if she was equipped with the Champion Armor, facing a Guild Weapon of the same level as the Champion Armor, she might not be able to retreat unscathed.
So, could she really snatch Bai Xia's main body directly from his hands? It seems she must use cunning. A direct confrontation with the Platinum Dragon Lord still felt a bit daunting.
"However, if Ellie-chan wants to use some small cleverness or tricks to rescue me from Platinum Dragon Lord, I advise you to just give up on your naive idea, okay? Platinum Dragon Lord won't let me go that easily. After all, he calls me a walking natural disaster. Perhaps on this world, the person Platinum Dragon Lord hates the most is me, so I still recommend you just fight him directly."
Hey, hey! What kind of bad things did you do before? The person the Platinum Dragon Lord hates the most? What unspeakable secret is behind this?
In the original work, it was written that the Platinum Dragon Lord hated the God-kin, those with player blood, as he believed they polluted the magic of this world, which led to the weakening of their dragon race.
So, if that's the case? Could it be that this Bai Xia was the instigator who polluted the magic of this world back then?!
Ugh… If that's really the case, then cunning won't work. It's very likely that he'll harbor malice towards her as soon as he sees her face, since she looks like Bai Xia. So, is fighting directly the only way? But can she really defeat the Platinum Dragon Lord?
Probably not, right? Bai Xia should be very powerful, right? One of the former Six Great Gods, and one of the Eight Greed Kings, and she even had such an amazing precognitive ability, yet she was sealed by the Platinum Dragon Lord. So what could she use to fight the Platinum Dragon Lord head-on?
Is Bai Xia planning to send her to her death? But if she gets herself killed, then Bai Xia will have no one to save her. So, this also seems quite unreasonable.
"You must be doubting now whether I want you to die, right? Lord Bai Xia, who is so powerful, was sealed, so how could I possibly defeat Platinum Dragon Lord! Ahem, however, it wasn't Platinum Dragon Lord who sealed me, you see. With Platinum Dragon Lord's strength, I could kill him with just a glance. So! I guarantee with my name, if you can't defeat Platinum Dragon Lord, my name will be written backward. So, just beat him up with peace of mind! I permit it."
Here, Bai Xia revealed another extremely important piece of information. Indeed… in the descriptions of the original work, after magic was polluted, the Dragon Lords and the Eight Greed Kings went to war, with a nearly ten-to-one exchange rate.
And even if an Eight Greed King was defeated, they would revive at a lower level. Logically speaking, the Platinum Dragon Lord really shouldn't be Bai Xia's opponent, and she herself also revealed that it wasn't the Platinum Dragon Lord who sealed her, which is a very reasonable statement.
If the Platinum Dragon Lord really hated her so much, then why didn't he just kill her directly? And why keep this menace in his hands? This really doesn't fit common sense.
"You must have many questions about me now, right? Although I'd love to explain everything to you in detail, that wouldn't be fun, would it? As a hidden BOSS, I naturally have to maintain the mystery a hidden BOSS should have, don't I? Ahem, finally, see you later, Ellie-chan."
She finished reading the entire content, but at the very end, there was a tiny sentence written.
