Ellie's hand trembled slightly as she opened the envelope. Just who was this Lord Bai Xia?
Why would she specifically leave a letter for her? And why go through such a roundabout way?
While she did suspect that this person had some treasure that could predict the future, or perhaps it was her own ability, wasn't this a bit too outrageous?!
Anyway, she should read what she said in the letter first, right? After Ellie opened the envelope, she saw that this time it wasn't just a simple note inside, but two proper pages, with quite a lot written on them. She took them out to read.
"Yo, Ellie-chan, you must be very surprised to see this letter, right? How could an old geezer like me, from hundreds of years ago, know of your existence? But I do know, you see. Not only do I know… but I even deliberately arranged for you to be led here, you see? How about that? Aren't you impressed with me?"
What? Her coming here was arranged by this person? That shouldn't be right? It should all be a coincidence, shouldn't it?
Her original goal was to go to the Dwarf Kingdom, but she only ran into Ligurit halfway and hitched a ride. Could it be that Ligurit had schemed against her?
That's even more impossible, right? How could Ligurit know that she would pass through there at that time? This Bai Xia must be playing mind games! Ellie was a little displeased and continued reading.
"Ellie-chan, you probably don't believe it, do you? But it doesn't matter, after all, everything is within my calculations. From the moment you were born, you have been completely within my calculations, you see. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it… Next, you will still have to dance in the palm of my hand, gradually completing my plan for me."
What the hell? Ellie was a bit unsettled when she read this, because Lord Bai Xia's letter mentioned that from the moment she was born, she was completely within her calculations.
Here she used the word "born," not "transmigrated"… One must know that only players from that other world would be able to understand these kinds of words and know about things like keyboards and routers!
However, she used the word "born," which means that she not only knew her superficial identity, Elizabeth, born into this world, but also possibly knew her hidden identity. How was this possible?!
"Ahem! You must be a bit flustered now, aren't you? Although hundreds of years have passed, I can still imagine your expression, with a face so similar to mine. But you can rest assured, I won't harm you. I still need you to save me, so relax!"
This person, although a little flustered, Ellie's mood was more of annoyance now. After all, usually she was the one scheming against others, and occasionally suffering a small loss was nothing. But this Lord Bai Xia claimed that everything was within her calculations, although there was a suspicion of bluffing and playing mind games.
However, Ellie still found a strange detail: that person's description of time was quite vague, saying "hundreds of years apart" without writing a specific number.
This indicates that she probably isn't sure when she will see this letter. This is completely different from the confident attitude that person had at the beginning. If her precognitive ability was really that amazing, why couldn't she foresee the exact time?
Also, she said she wouldn't harm her and needed her to save her? Considering her current situation, it must be that she wants to arrange for her to release her seal, right? Ugh… Let's continue reading to see what this person really wants to do.
"Of course, I won't let you help me unconditionally. But by now, you should have received my first deposit, right? The box contains the second one, you need this, don't you?"
When did she receive any deposit from her? Ellie was completely bewildered, then she took out the bracelet that was placed with the letter. After carefully looking at the design of the bracelet, she immediately removed the gauntlet armor of her Champion Armor and compared it with the magic ring she had taken from Gazef… The design of this bracelet and the magic ring were the same style.
The magic ring was simply silver, with a light blue crystal-like object embedded in it. The base style was somewhat like tentacles wrapped around each other, holding up the crystal. The design was quite unique, which is why Ellie had always worn the gauntlet of the Champion Armor in front of Ligurit.
However, this bracelet was also the same; its main body was silver, and then three crystals, identical to the one on the ring, were embedded in the bracelet. The base near the crystals also had the same tentacle-like swirling patterns as the ring.
Could it be that this magic ring was also something this person created?! No, that's not right! Didn't the original work say that that item was equipment crafted by the Platinum Dragon Lord using his Original Magic? How did it become hers? Isn't she a transmigrator? How could she create such a thing? But then, how does one explain this bracelet?
Ellie, half-believing, half-doubting, directly put the bracelet on her wrist. It was just the right size… This already somewhat explained the problem. She was currently a loli-sized figure, so her wrists were naturally quite slender. However, this bracelet fit her perfectly, and more importantly, after Ellie equipped this bracelet, she clearly felt something different.
"Summon Familiar… Shadow Werewolf!" Ellie directly used a familiar that even her Level Two MP wasn't enough to summon. However, this time it activated smoothly, and not just one, but two Shadow Werewolves burst out from Ellie's shadow.
"Go back!" Ellie, having finished her test, directly dismissed the two Shadow Werewolves. The MP required to summon a Shadow Werewolf needed at least the full MP amount of a Level Three, yet she had summoned two at once. This indicated that after equipping this bracelet, she had at least increased by two levels or more… Ellie was truly unsettled now. Although she was very happy that her level could increase again, this also proved that she was indeed in this person's palm from the very beginning, and she even knew her weakness.
"Happy? You should be happy with the second deposit, right? But I guess what you're thinking, Ellie-chan, is, 'Is this also within your calculations?! JOJO!!' Ahem! Yes, it is. Everything is within my calculations. Having received these two deposits, you should understand how amazing I am, right?"
