"No, no, how could we dislike Miss Bai Xia? You are our only hope!" The uncle looked at the adorable Ellie and comforted her with a smile.
"Indeed, Miss Bai Xia, the only one among us who can use healing magic, is quite an important presence. It's okay if you're a beginner; we'll protect you." Arute finished speaking, revealing that same toothy grin that could blind Ellie.
"Speaking of which, is this a coincidence?" Livia-san looked at each of them in turn, then showed a very puzzled expression. Regarding the coincidence she mentioned, Ellie had also noticed it, but just hadn't brought it up.
"What coincidence?" the uncle asked, confused. The others didn't seem to have noticed and looked equally puzzled.
"Arute represents fire, I represent water, Uncle you represent earth, and Lan naturally represents wind. Is this a coincidence?" Livia-san explained with deep meaning.
"Indeed… Most of the magic swords I use are primarily fire-attributed. But what about Sierxia Na and Bai Xia?" Arute asked, looking at Ellie and Sierxia Na.
"My hidden profession is Death God…" Sierxia Na said.
"Oh! I get it." Livia-san clapped her hands, as if she had understood something.
"If Sierxia Na is a Death God, then she should represent death. Then Bai Xia, as a Healer, should represent life. That completes it… It seems our Crossing wasn't just a random group of people brought over!" Livia-san continued.
"Are they treating us like heroes? After all, the only opponents we've encountered since arriving have been evil dragons," the uncle said jokingly.
The uncle wasn't wrong. The Six Great Gods' main opponents were indeed evil dragons, and very powerful ones at that.
This point was quite strange. According to the original work's description of the Six Great Gods, they rescued humanity from the Dragon race and liberated humans from their status as livestock.
But in this era, any Dragon with some power could use Original Magic. Ellie, who had experienced the power of Original Magic, knew that these six people alone couldn't fight those Dragon Kings. So, this point was indeed very strange.
"Everyone, it's best to organize your backpacks and see if there are any usable equipment or items… Let's share them. Maybe someone can use them," Arute suggested.
Sharing equipment? If this were a game, this suggestion would, of course, be very unreasonable. They had only known each other for a short time and were already sharing equipment. But in their current situation, it wasn't the time to be stingy with equipment, so no one objected, and they all began to sort through their spatial bags.
After a long time of sorting, everyone pulled out their unneeded equipment and items, though most of them were basically useless.
After all, everyone had a unique profession, and not everyone had Ainz's infinite-slot spatial bag. So, what they usually carried in their backpacks were spare equipment and items needed for their adventures. Therefore, even if they took them out to share, others would hardly be able to use them.
On Ellie's side, she took out many, many alchemy potions. Of course, these alchemy potions were Nfirea's experimental products. Although their quality was not as good as the original potions from the World Tree, they were extremely important for this team, which lacked items.
So, after obtaining Ellie's consent, everyone divided up the alchemy potions she had brought out. Of course… no one questioned why the alchemy potions were purple (the original World Tree potions were red).
"Uh… Seeing Bai Xia being so generous, sharing such precious potions with us, if I keep hiding this thing, then…" Livia-san said, looking very guilty. Then she opened her spatial bag again and took out an item that made Ellie's eyes light up.
So that's how it is! The Six Great Gods' possibility of rescuing humanity, no… it must have been because of this equipment! With this equipment, they could indeed achieve their goal very easily!
Ellie, of course, recognized the equipment Livia-san took out. She would recognize it even if it turned to ash. After all, Ellie had once suffered a loss because of this equipment. If it weren't for Shalltear's 1UP amulet and her quick thinking, she really would have fallen at the hands of this equipment.
That's right, the equipment Livia-san took out was that cheongsam, primarily white with golden dragon patterns carved into it: the World Item—Downfall of Castle and Country.
"What kind of equipment is this?" Arute asked. The others also showed very subtle expressions; it seemed no one recognized this equipment. Ellie also pretended to be clueless and asked for an explanation.
"It's a World Item, Downfall of Castle and Country, this one." Livia-san held up the cheongsam and proudly explained.
"A World Item??? How do you have such equipment that only large Adventurer's Guilds possess?!" The uncle expressed great surprise.
"I was originally a core Magic Caster in a large Adventurer's Guild, so when this equipment dropped, the Guild Master gave it to me to use," Livia-san said proudly, with a hint of smugness.
"To give such precious equipment to a guild member to use… that Guild Master is truly broad-minded," the uncle teased again.
"What can I do? This equipment can only be equipped by female characters, and I was the only strong female player in that Adventurer's Guild, so it could only be given to me," Livia-san glanced at the uncle and retorted indignantly.
"Indeed… This is a cheongsam, so male characters certainly can't equip it. But since it's something you can use, Miss Livia-san, you can just use it, right? There's no need to take it out. Such valuable equipment, and! What's special about this equipment? The World Items I know are all very powerful equipment," Arute said strangely.
"Uh… this, the effect of this equipment is that it can indiscriminately charm any target, regardless of race, as long as it can move and has a will, it's just like that. As for why I took it out… this… this…" Livia-san explained, then started to fidget.
Does that mean it can even charm and control Undead? No wonder the Slane Theocracy brought out Downfall of Castle and Country back then, wanting to subdue the Destruction Dragon King. Fortunately, Shalltear ran into them halfway.
Everyone looked at Livia-san's fidgeting with very strange expressions.
"Actually… this equipment can only be equipped by pure females… which means… it can only be given to… that… uh, I… got married in the game, and was judged to be… not… not pure, so I couldn't equip this item," Livia-san said, slightly embarrassed and very quietly.
