Offer blocks to the end times

"Wake up, Sasuke!" Senju gave Aisha a hard knock to bring her back to her senses. She wiped her drool and carefully examined the contract, hoping...

I'll work there until one day I get to meet that LV8.

Chapter 420 Meeting

After signing the contract, Freya left. Then, several members of Freya's Familia appeared and discussed the next steps with Senju. Senju condensed his knowledge about internet cafes into a memory crystal and gave it to Aisha, asking her to discuss the subsequent matters with them. He then transferred part of the control of the internet cafe robot to Aisha (Sasuke) to facilitate her work.

After leaving the matter to others, Senju went home, deciding to go to Loki's place after resolving the issue with Landoruko.

When I got home, it was already noon. Landoruko was still there, but she had fallen asleep with her book in her arms. Noft, on the other hand, was full of energy and was eating food he had found in the kitchen.

"Hey, isn't this Senju?" Novut greeted Senju with his mouth full of food. Senju shook his head helplessly and sat down to eat as well. "Novut, what have you been up to these past few days?"

“I mainly read comics; they’re so interesting,” Noft said happily. “And I also go to the dungeons, but they’re too cramped, and flying there is difficult.”

"Well, it's an underground city after all, I'm afraid it will collapse," Senju agreed. Even though he could fly, he walked more often inside.

“Yeah, right,” Noft said indignantly. “Before, when we were in the sky, we were afraid the floating islands would fall off. Now we have to go underground, which feels even more dangerous. But humans are really amazing; they’ve locked up so many monsters.”

“I’ve heard that dungeons are monster lairs,” Senju thought about the information he had heard, then shook his head. “But there are also monsters in the wild. There’s a black dragon at the edge of the world. I heard that when it awakens, the world will be destroyed.”

"Oh no, is this place going to be finished too? I finally got a break," Noft lamented as he lay on the sofa, but Thousand Hands waved his hand, "Don't worry, I heard it hasn't appeared for more than ten years."

"Phew, that's good," Noft said, losing interest after hearing the story. He took a big bite of food on the sofa. "Otherwise, we would have had to fight again. I just don't know what the outcome will be this time."

"Noft!" A slightly angry voice came from beneath her. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Noft was indeed leaning against Landoruko. Noft quickly apologized after noticing, "I'm sorry, Landoruko."

"Sigh, Noft, you need to be more composed," Landoruko said with a hint of exasperation as she looked at Noft. She sat up from the sofa, straightened her clothes, and bowed to Senju. "Lord Senju, have Miss Chito and Miss Yuri arrived yet?"

"Yes, soon," Senju nodded. After a while, the entrance to the space next to them opened, and Chito, Yuri, and Haruhime came out, but Haruhime was disguised as Naruko.

Afterwards, Chito explained the situation, and the two sides began to communicate. After a while, Chito was still talking to Landoruko about the things in the book. Yuri and Noft, who were next to her, had become comic book comrades. Seeing how good their relationship was, the two next to her were a little jealous.

Haruhime then came to Senju and asked him to update her attributes. After Senju updated them, he looked at the sorcery 'Ninefold (Fivefold)' below and asked, "Haruhime, what is the purpose of this Ninefold sorcery?"

“My lord, Ninefold is a blessing magic. It can add a fox tail to other people, and then I can fill it with magic and bless multiple people at the same time,” Chunjie explained. Then, seeing that Qianshou didn’t quite understand, she was anxious for a while before she thought of a better way to explain, “I can use the properties of Ninefold to use the Magic Hammer on multiple people at the same time.”

"Oh, so the Magic Hammer can upgrade multiple people now," Thousand Hands exclaimed for a moment, then realized the other person was more important. "By the way, does this 'five levels' mean it can upgrade the levels of five people at the same time?"

“Yes,” Haruhime nodded happily, then said somewhat dejectedly, “However, I can only support one upgrade like Lord William’s, and I can only support two upgrades like Miss Asya’s.”

"Don't worry, this is already impressive enough. It will be even better after we level up," Senju thought to himself, as he was looking for time to take Haruhime to level up.

“Oh, right, Senju, Hestia left a note, saying it was something very important,” Noft, who was playing with Yuri, suddenly remembered something and took a note from under the book on the table.

"What? It's a 'lock'," Senju opened it and immediately understood. The method written on it was very simple: all the gods needed to do was to consciously seal it.

After figuring it out, Thousand Hands went to the Twilight Mansion, but when he was taken inside, Loki and the others were discussing something.

“Oh, it’s Lord Senju,” Finn greeted Senju. “We’re discussing those snake-like monsters right now, so you might want to take a look.”

"Hmm? What happened to those monsters?" Senju asked curiously. Loki, who was sitting at the table next to him, opened his eyes and looked Senju up and down. "I didn't expect you to dare go to the dungeon. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

It seems Loki also received the message from his subordinates. Thousand Hands shook his head, "I'm not afraid of that, after all, our family has leveled up again recently."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Our Ais has also reached LV6," Loki said with a grin. "So, which one of yours leveled up?"

ah?"

"Congratulations," Thousand Hands congratulated Ais, ignoring Loki. He felt he would give himself away if he continued.

Loki, standing nearby, persisted, "Hey, hey, who is it? Is it Level 8?"

"Loki, look what this is!" Senju pulled out a bottle of invisibility potion, and Loki immediately shut up. Senju had originally wanted to create a photo of Loki and Gin Ichimaru together, but seeing that she gave up, he gave up as well.

Afterwards, Senju listened to their discussion and learned that they had encountered similar monsters on the 50th floor before, such as the Monster Festival and the monsters that appeared on the 18th floor. According to them, those monsters were newly appeared and were being controlled by a mastermind.

In the end, they concluded that there were two possible sources of the culprit: the Guild and Dionysus, both of which were highly suspicious. Thousand Hands, who was listening from the side, didn't quite understand; he didn't even know who this god was.

Bored, Senju became interested in the large bookshelf next to him, picked up a book and started reading. After a while, Loki woke Senju up.

"Your familia was involved in the monsters of the eighteenth floor, wasn't it? Do you know the identity of that red-haired trainer?" Loki stared at the Thousand Hands. "Speaking of which, your familia also appeared suddenly, which is quite suspicious."

“Don’t worry, we don’t know her, and we don’t know anything about those ‘new species’,” Thousand Hands shook his head, then looked at Loki’s disbelieving gaze. “If we wanted to do it, Orario would have been destroyed long ago.”

"Hmph, you just love to brag," Loki said speechlessly, looking at Senju without knowing how to comment. Then he turned to the others and said, "Alright, take out your weapons and let Senju help you enchant them. By the way, where's Ais?"

“Let me do it,” Finn said, taking out a decorative bell and shaking it. The others around him were dumbfounded. “What’s this?”

Chapter 421 Prelude to the Expedition

Then they heard a series of hurried footsteps outside, and the door was suddenly flung open. Tione stood there excitedly, "Did you call me, Commander?"

"Could you call Ais over for me?" Finn asked Dione softly as he sat there gracefully. Dione immediately replied excitedly, "Leave it to me!"

Then she dashed out, leaving the others in the room speechless for a moment. Finally, Grace, on behalf of everyone, complained, "It's so convenient."

After a moment of silence, Loki handed Senju a piece of paper with the attributes to be enchanted marked on it, and then they took out a bunch of magic swords and handed them to Senju.

Seemingly noticing Senju's confusion, Finn explained, "This is to deal with those new types of demonic swords; the more times, the better."

“Really? But I don’t think we need the magic sword to deal with those monster vines,” Thousand Hands said as he worked on the side. Finn smiled and shook his head. “Although the individual ones are easy to deal with, there are too many of them deep inside. Their body fluids will also corrode the weapon. The best way is to burn them all with the magic sword.”

“Is that so?” Senju nodded, then asked, “There are many monsters in the deeper levels, right? Are there any boss-like monsters?”

“Of course,” Riveria nodded beside her. “Last night, Ais single-handedly killed the floor master of the 37th floor, the Lone King of the Labyrinth, a boss-level monster, Udeos. Because of this achievement, Ais successfully advanced to LV6.”

“I see, Goliath on the 17th floor, Udeus on the 37th floor,” Senju asked after thinking for a moment, “Then what similar monsters are there on the 7th and 27th floors?”

“There’s no floor master on the upper floors. If I had to name one, it would be the baby dragon on the tenth floor. The floor master on the 27th floor is a two-headed dragon,” Riveria said after thinking for a moment.

“Hey, since you’re interested too, why don’t you send some people to join the expedition?” Loki chimed in. “There are also members of the Hephaestus Familia this time, it’s a rare opportunity.”

"Hmm, it would be great to get familiar with the environment by following you guys," Qian Shou said, somewhat tempted that someone was willing to take him into the dungeon. "I'll go back and discuss it with them; there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Oh, another asset!" Loki exclaimed happily. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then Tione's voice came through, "Captain, it's Tione."

“Come in,” Finn said, and Tiony entered, but she was no longer as excited as before; her expression was somewhat uneasy, and there was no one else behind her.

"Hmm, where's Ais?" Loki asked curiously as he saw her coming alone. Tione hesitated and said, "Well, it seems Ais went to the dungeon by herself."

Then Thousand Hands took his leave. He had to go back and talk about the dungeon, no, the expedition. But before that, Thousand Hands went to the guild to check out some information related to the expedition.

Upon arriving at the guild, Senju was disappointed to find that the NPC, Miss Eina, was not there, so he had no choice but to go find the secondary NPC, Misha.

When Misha saw Senju, she recognized him as Eina's major client. After chatting for a while, Senju learned that Eina had gone to patrol the skyscraper, and Misha also learned that she had come on another mission.

After handing over the task of collecting the intelligence to Misha, Senju left and headed towards the Sky Tower.

However, after circling the entrance several times without seeing Eina, he shook his head and entered the dungeon to check.

Is there any chance of meeting Eina?

Along the way, Thousand Hands kept moving forward with the help of the summoned White. Adventurers passing by avoided him when they saw the 'necromancer'.

When all the newbies were lost, Senju still couldn't find Eina. He scratched his head, feeling like he was looking in the wrong direction. Eina should be up there.

However, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the seventh floor to see if there were any special monsters there. After walking for a while, he noticed some strange noises ahead, so he went over.

"Haha, what a great haul today!" Three adventurers ran up from the front, carrying huge packages and blood-soaked equipment. Their eyes lit up when they saw Thousand Hands. "Looks like we'll have even more to gain today."

"Huh?" Senju was speechless as he looked at the ill-intentioned adventurer in front of him. He had actually encountered the legendary scenario of adventurers killing and robbing for treasure.

"Hey kid, are you going to hand over your valuables yourself, or are we going to help you?" The leading orc pulled out a dagger and looked at Thousand Hands with a sly smile.

"Is what you're carrying some adventurer's relics?" Senju stood there lamenting for the adventurer who had met with misfortune, but then a thought struck him. "But you're lucky to have met me."

Seeing the hand that had grown out from behind Thousand Hands, the group exclaimed in surprise. The orc in front had actually unleashed a flame with his hand, almost blackening Thousand Hands with smoke.

"Damn it," Senju muttered, looking at the wooden shield in front of him, and then used Wood Release to bind the three of them. "Tell me, where is that adventurer? Otherwise, you might as well die here."

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Over there, the one who died was our captain. He was killed by killer ants. It has nothing to do with us!" Senju frowned as he listened to the adventurers' shouts. Were the dead adventurers the same kind of people as them? Was it a waste to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique? But whatever, he might as well give it a try.

Senju dragged them in that direction, and after walking around a few times, Senju arrived at the intersection of a passage, where she saw a girl hugging someone and crying.

Senju looked at the figure and found it very familiar. "Bell? What are you doing here?"

The three people tied up nearby also shouted, "Erd, you're still alive! Come and save us!"

“Hmph, I’m not the same Lily anymore,” Lily hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and shouted.

"Lord Star God? What are you doing here?!" Bell exclaimed upon seeing the Thousand Hands, then looked at the bound adventurers, "Who are they?"

"Erd, hurry up and tell your friends to put us down!" the trapped adventurer shouted, regaining his composure.

But Lily remained unmoved. "Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about? You pushed me into the killer ants, how could I possibly save you? And give back what you stole."

“Erd, you did the same thing, didn’t you? Why can you be saved but we can’t?” the orc shouted. But his two companions started fighting amongst themselves. “It was all Ganu’s fault. He threw you into the killer ants. We did nothing wrong. We deserve to be saved!”

"So, these are your things now?" Senju watched the group's performance and dragged another large bundle along a wooden vine, placing it in front of him.

“Yes,” Lily stepped forward to check, then looked at the orc Ganu, “Mr. Ganu, please return the vault key to me.”

Chapter 422 The Temptation of Divine Wine

“What nonsense are you talking about? What vault key? I have no idea,” Ganu, who was tied up there, was still struggling desperately. “Hey, Erd, let us go. We’ll agree to any conditions.”

“I’m sorry, but I no longer trust any of you,” Lily said, checking her belongings before finally finding her cloak and putting it on. “To be precise, I don’t want to see any of you anymore. Can you all just die?”

"Lily!" Bell called out from the side. Lily's body trembled, and she turned to Bell with a smile. "I'm sorry, Lord Bell, I accidentally blurted out my true feelings. But there are still important assets of Lily and Lord Bell in the vault."

"Um, it seems the situation is quite complicated," Senju hesitated. Although these people were despicable, he didn't want to get his hands dirty with blood, and Bell next to him wouldn't agree to kill anyone.

"Shut up!" Seeing the three guys still making a racket, Senju was a little annoyed and shut them up. He really didn't know what to do with such trash.

“Bell, what do you suggest we do?” Senju tossed the question to Bell, who exclaimed in surprise, “Ugh, you want me to make the decision?!”

“Lord Bell, don’t forget, it was these guys who pushed Lily into this desperate situation,” Lily said softly from the side, as the three people struggled incessantly.

“And if these guys don’t die, everyone will know that Lily is still alive, and people will keep coming to our door,” Lily continued, as they struggled even more fiercely.

"Maybe Lily will really die next time," Lily desperately added fuel to the fire. The three had stopped struggling, but their faces were covered in snot and tears, which disgusted Thousand Hands. In his mind, he had already sentenced them to death.

"And they weren't girls, Lord Bell didn't save them."

"The reason is..." Lily looked at Bell earnestly, and Bell wavered.

Senju watched the little devil tempting Xiaobaihua with some speechlessness. Seeing Bell's expression gradually harden, Bell finally spoke, "Please spare their lives, but on the condition that they swear to the gods that they will never reveal what happened here or hide the fact that Lily is still alive."

"Do you really want to let them go?" Senju looked at Bell seriously, while Bell smiled gently. "After all, life is precious, and there won't be a second chance."

“No, Lord Bell,” Lily cried out anxiously from the side, “These guys are different. They’ve all been bewitched by the divine wine and are very likely to break their promises. I’ve done it many times myself.”

"Divine Wine?" Senju and Bell were puzzled for a moment, then listened to Lily say, "The people in the Soma Familia are all the same. They are only controlled by the Divine Wine. They will do anything to get money to exchange for the Divine Wine. That's the kind of people they are."

“I see. Let’s hear what they have to say,” Senju released their mouths, wanting to see what they would do.

However, after Senju released the wooden vine, the three of them immediately smiled obsequiously, "We swear to Soma that we will never reveal what is happening here, or we will be abandoned by Soma."
