Offer blocks to the end times

Before Loki could answer, Rafia had already brought Bert over. "Loki, I've brought Mr. Bert over."

"Is there something wrong?" Bert asked, then looked at William beside him, his expression changing. "Where did this guy come from?"

"Never mind that. Ais's in trouble. Go to the 18th floor and help her," Loki said, looking at the Thousand Hands. "But the Familia's funds are running low. Could you lower the price?"

“No, although I have a better way,” Thousand Hands shook his head, “sending people there will also consume crystals, and lowering the price will result in even greater losses.”

"Tch, then give me two sets of crystals for the eighteenth floor, no need for the return trip," Loki shouted unhappily. Dionysus, standing beside him, smiled and said, "I only need one too."

"Tch, you guys are so stingy. Wait a minute, I'll go over there and get ready," Senju said, walking to the corner and transforming himself into Gin Ichimaru. He then came out with the five teleportation crystals he had prepared.

"Hello everyone, I am Gin Ichimaru. Senju has already returned due to important matters," Gin Ichimaru distributed the crystals to everyone. The people next to him looked at him, then at Loki, as if they had just realized something.

Gin Ichimaru bowed to the crowd, and Lefia returned the bow, saying, "Hello, I am Lefia."

“Alright, I need to go back and get my things ready,” Bert called out impatiently. Loki glanced at Philwis beside him. “This operation also involves this child.”

“Hello,” Rafia greeted her, but the other woman did not respond. Bert, who was standing next to her, seemed to mutter, “Stinky face.”

"Haha," Lefia didn't know what to say, her expression extremely awkward.

“Then we’ll go find the Sword Maiden first, and you can come over later,” Senju said, glancing at William before the two of them crushed the crystal and disappeared.

Rafia and Bert, who were standing nearby, were startled. Loki urged them, "Hurry up and get ready. We're leaving in five minutes."

“Then I’ll go ahead as well,” Philwis nodded and left using the crystal.

Thousand Hands and William, who arrived first, explained their identities. Then, the elf Philwis appeared beside them. She frowned at Thousand Hands and William, who were very close to her, and took a few steps back.

“I wonder if Fiora is still here,” Gin Ichimaru said. Philwis replied indifferently, “I don’t know, but Fiora was here just now. She should have gone to the tavern over there by now.”

She said

She started walking forward alone, and the two behind her had no choice but to follow. However, after walking for a while, they saw the Sword Maiden leading the two of them towards them.

“Hello, Miss Sword Maiden. We meet again. I’m here to help you this time,” Philwis said, stopping Ais.

Thousand Hands chimed in, “That’s right, the reinforcements will be here soon. Miss Lefia and Mr. Bert will be arriving shortly.”

“Loki?” Ais stared at Gin Ichimaru for a while before asking cautiously. Gin Ichimaru shook his head. “I am Gin Ichimaru of the Senju Familia. I’ve come here to support Miss Sword Princess.”

Thousand Hands was internally complaining. Although he had slightly referenced Loki's image when making this, the hair was completely different!

“I understand,” Ais nodded blankly, while a female adventurer in a crimson cloak beside her frowned. “Sword Maiden, do you know these people? And Philwis…”

“I only know one,” Ais shook her head, looking at William beside her, “but we’ll know once Rafia and Bert arrive.”

“But it’s strange, how did the support arrive so quickly?” another adventurer next to him said in confusion. 'Gin Ichimaru' explained from the side, “That’s thanks to the items developed by our clan. As a ‘gacha item,’ its performance surpasses all current items.”

"Oh, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said," the red adventurer seemed to feel provoked, his glasses reflecting light. "To be honest, I've never even heard of pay-to-win items."

"Oh dear, Asphie's angry," an adventurer nearby exclaimed softly. Philwis's eyes lit up. "An omnipotent being?!"

"Huh, does Miss Philwiss know her?" Senju asked curiously. The adventurer next to him chimed in, "No way, you've never even heard of the Omnipotent One? How can you make gadgets? Asphie made all sorts of gadgets that allow invisibility and flight, and..."

“Lulune! You’ve said too much,” Asphie shouted from there. Senju watched as the person opposite slowly took flight. “What should we do? It seems like we can make invisibility and flight gadgets too.”

"What?! Is another 'omnipotent being' going to appear?" Lulune exclaimed, her mouth agape. The others around her were also stunned. Asphie glared at them, feeling her territory had been invaded.

Just as the two were about to fight, Bert's voice came from not far away, "Ais, where are you?"

“Miss Ais,” Lefia’s voice came from over there, and Ais immediately walked over to meet her.

"Hmph," the two glared at each other before separating and following Ais forward.

A while later, they met up with Bert and Rafia. Bert looked around unhappily, "I can't believe it's true. We arrived at the eighteenth floor in an instant. There's a limit to jokes."

“Ah, Miss Ais, here’s your pen,” Lefia, carrying a backpack and holding a staff, handed a pen to Ais. Lulune, who was standing next to her, spoke up again, “This ‘Blood Tide Pen’ is also a work of Aisfi. It can use blood instead of ink, and can be used to write at any time. Moreover, it will not dissolve in water.”

"Ha, was the person who developed this an idiot?" Senju looked at Lulune speechlessly. "If you want to write anytime, just use this. One Fali is enough to last for dozens of days."

As she spoke, Senju made a large pile of ballpoint pens and distributed them to everyone. "Come on, these are super cheap props. You don't need any blood at all."

“Uh,” Lulune awkwardly shut her mouth, while Asphie picked it up and studied it for a while. “This isn’t a magical artifact, it’s just ink sealed inside. The principle is so simple.”

“It’s that simple. Writing with a quill pen dipped in ink is too troublesome,” Senju shook his head. “Then let the ink flow directly to the tip of the pen.”

Chapter 426 The Banshee Who Brings Death

“However, this material and process are a bit complicated for you,” Senju shook his head as he looked at Asif, who was studying it, and then made a pen and handed it to her. “This one is simpler; you’ll understand once you take a look.”

“This is…” Asifi’s attention was drawn away from the ballpoint pen. Although the ballpoint pen looked simple, the level of technology involved was very high, and Asifi could not possibly reach the level of Yifali.

"Ais, what happened? What is the purpose of this mission?" Bert, who was running around, still had no idea what was going on.

"The large-scale monster outbreak on the 24th floor is most likely caused by the food depot," Ais explained from the side. Only then did the people around them realize that the mission objective was to investigate the possible anomalies that might have occurred in the food depot on the 24th floor.

“Then let’s go meet up with the team,” Asif said after looking at the pen for a while and understanding its structure. However, Bert was not impressed. “Tch, no need for any other small fry, I can handle it all by myself.”

“Mr. Bert,” Rafia called out timidly from the side, but Bert ignored her. However, Asifi explained, “There are several food depots on the 24th floor. If there are enough people, we can quickly find the source of the problem.”

"Hmm," Ais nodded, and Bert then had no further objections. The others around him also agreed.

After discussing things with another group of cloaked adventurers, Asphie and the other group of adventurers dispersed.

“I’ve already sent people to buy medicines in the surrounding area, and I’ve also sent an advance team to the 24th floor,” Asif explained to the people around her. Suddenly, Thousand Hands next to her remembered something, “Oh right, I still have a lot of spiritual herbs here. I can sell them to you for double the price.”

"Did you make those too?" Asphie asked from the side. Senju shook his head. "No, they were just a batch of potions I acquired before."

As he spoke, he took out a box. "Ten high-grade recovery potions, each costing 30,000 falies; and ten high-grade mental recovery potions, also costing 30,000 falies each."

"I'll take it," Asif agreed immediately before Senju could say anything more. The people next to him looked at Senju like they knew the market, thinking that he could have increased tenfold, but he only increased it by twofold. Was he an idiot?

Asphie was in a good mood after getting a good deal, and Senju was also feeling good counting the money. Then everyone started cooperating in the investigation. Lefia kept trying to talk to Philwiss, but he didn't respond.

After a while, the members who had been searching for the medicine returned. They handed the medicine to Asifi and then dispersed. Asifi distributed the medicine to the team members, and then everyone set off.

A group of people headed towards the large tree in the middle of the eighteenth floor. Only then did Senju realize that it was the passage to the nineteenth floor, the 'Great Tree Maze'. There was a maze made of trees, with caves and walls made of wood. It was filled with various trees and flowers, and there was a lot of glowing moss around, which looked very beautiful.

Senju was very happy to see this place. He felt that his Wood Release was much more effective here. He secretly made some memory crystals to mark the location. Senju planned to come here in the future to collect various flower and herb materials.

However, there were quite a few monsters here, including insect and plant-based monsters, but they were all easily eliminated. Thousand Hands also collected quite a few new types of monsters along the way.

Everyone moved around easily and soon found the huge tree hole leading to the lower level. However, after reaching the twentieth level, Senju was slightly disappointed because it looked almost the same as the nineteenth level.

However, the monsters William encountered made him slightly concerned. Those lizardmen wielding petal-like shields looked exactly like Gray Rock Skin, although the colors were slightly different. After subduing a few of them, he realized that they were irrational, so he casually threw them away.

William then seemed to sense trouble and spread his aura outwards. The monsters around him let out a low growl and then fell completely silent.

Everyone seemed to sense William's emotions and pressure, and continued on their way in silence. However, in a secret space on the twentieth floor, the many monsters mixed together inside also dared not make a sound until they sensed that the owner of this power had disappeared, at which point they slowly began to move.

After leaving that floor, William apologized with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, seeing them just now felt like going back to the past. Those comrades who used to fight alongside me have suddenly turned into monsters. It's really hard to accept."

"?" Everyone was wondering what William meant, but only Thousand Hands understood. "Perhaps in the near future, they will become like Gray Rock Skin and Grik."

“I hope so,” William sighed softly. The next few floors had fewer trees, but there were still many flowers, though the swarms of bee monsters were quite annoying.

Upon reaching the 24th floor, they discovered that the monsters had disappeared. Following the advance team's markers, they began their search.

Lulune and Asphie also took off their cloaks, and Senju realized that Lulune was an orc and Asphie was a human with short blue hair.

Lulune was talking to Ais and Lefia there, "It's incredible. They're not even family, yet they're involved with Sword Princess and Lefia. It's unbelievable."

“Yes, I didn’t expect to run into Miss Lulune either,” Lefia replied happily from the side, finally someone in the group noticed her.

"By the way, why are you all wearing cloaks all the time?" Ais asked from the side. Lulune replied casually, "Ah, that's because there are many things that are inconvenient to show, otherwise everyone's true level and the floor they have reached will be exposed."

"Lulune!" Asphie, who was discussing various item-making methods with Senju, was also unhappy. She glanced at her companion who was leaking information everywhere. "Honestly, can't you learn from your mistakes? You've already learned so many lessons."

"Haha, I forgot by accident just now," Lulune laughed awkwardly, then said to the two people next to her, "Sword Maiden, Lefia, just forget what I said just now."

Asphie then turned to Senju to discuss the production methods of various items. Senju didn't quite understand what she was talking about as magical items, so she started rambling about various communication and transportation tools, eventually even bringing up airships.

After chatting for a while, she glanced at the three silent people behind her and cautiously asked Senju, "By the way, Mr. Ichimaru Gin, have you heard about that elf lady?"

"Philwis? Is there something wrong with her?" Senju asked curiously. Asif whispered, "Although it's reassuring to team up with Miss Sword Princess, teams that team up with 'Banshee' always end up getting wiped out."

Chapter 427 The Worst Hypothesis

"The Banshee of Death? I thought she had some special magic, but it turns out to be a wipeout aura," Senju thought with amusement, but the people next to him didn't find the word 'wipeout' so funny.

“She is the sole survivor of the twenty-seventh level of nightmare time, and anyone who teams up with her dies, so she is known as the ‘Cursed Adventurer’,” Asif explained there, and Philwis twitched his ears behind her, his expression becoming even colder.

"A curse? We happen to have medicine here to dispel all kinds of curses," Thousand Hands chuckled, then pointed at William. "Although the power of the annihilation aura is strong, it's just a joke compared to things like racial annihilation or world destruction."

"Um, don't make it sound so scary. Aren't you worried about your teammates this time?" Asifi asked, looking at the smiling 'Ichimaru Gin'. 'Ichimaru Gin' shook his head. "Of course I'm not afraid. After all, there are real and fake curses."

He looked at Asphie with a smile, "I'm saying, what if someone had their eye on your talent and every time you team up, they would send someone to kill all your teammates, leaving only you alone? What would you think after that happened a few times?"

“This,” Asif shuddered, and Lulune next to her exclaimed, “Sir, don’t make it sound so scary. I’m one of your teammates too.”

"What are you saying?!" Philwis suddenly stopped, glaring at 'Gin Ichimaru' with hatred. "Did you orchestrate all of this?"

"Just kidding, I was just saying hypothetically. As long as you have the strength, you have nothing to fear," 'Gin Ichimaru' waved his hand, but his smiling expression made him seem insincere.

Philwiss seemed to have identified 'Gin Ichimaru' as an enemy and raised his dagger to attack. Bert, standing next to him, scoffed but didn't react because William had already grabbed her arm. "It's not a good habit to act recklessly."

"Let me go!" Philwis's hatred immediately shifted to William, and a staff instantly appeared in his other hand. "Sweep away the enemy..."

However, William grabbed her hand and restrained her. Lefia shouted from the side, "No, that won't do! It's our elven custom that strangers aren't allowed to touch you."

“Oh dear, William, you’ve made the same mistake as Miss Phil again. I’ll tell Miss Chtholly about this,” ’Gin Ichimaru’ said with a grin, taking out his camera to take a picture.

“Qian… don’t talk nonsense. The magic in her body was circulating very fast just now. I only dispersed her magic,” William explained, but he still held tightly to Philwiss, whose arms were behind her back, as she struggled violently.

“Mr. William, please let her go!” Lefia shouted from the side, and Lulune chimed in, “Yes, let her go!”

Seeing the women's reactions, William reluctantly released Philwiss. "Don't be impulsive, we are not enemies."

After being released, Philwiss seemed much more sober, silently putting away his weapon, though he still glared at William with bloodshot eyes.

"Are you alright, Miss Philwiss?" Lefia and Lulune rushed over to comfort her. Asphie, standing nearby, seemed curious about the 'Miss Phil' that Senju mentioned. "Miss Phil, are you talking about her? Have they met before?"

“No,” 'Gin Ichimaru' shook his head. “Phiel is a werewolf we used to know. They have a custom that if someone touches your abdomen, you have to marry that person. William accidentally touched her.”

"Sigh, do werewolves have such a custom?" Those who heard this looked at Bert's exposed belly. Bert seemed to sense the gazes and said unhappily, "What are you bastards talking about! We werewolves don't have such a custom."

"It's probably just a difference in local customs. Miss Phil used to pester William for a long time," 'Gin Ichimaru' spread rumors from the side, while William shook his head and remained silent.

“But elves shouldn’t have a similar custom,” ’Gin Ichimaru’ turned to Lefia and asked, looking at her seriously. “Loki, no, Mr. Gin Ichimaru, our tribe doesn’t have such a rule that allows us to retaliate against those who touch us without permission.”

“Well, that’s more like it,” ’Ichimaru Gin’ smiled at Lefia, then looked at Phil Wiss beside him. “I’m sorry, Miss Phil, I apologize on behalf of William. Please don’t take the past to heart. Maybe there really was a mastermind behind it all.”

However, Philweis didn't speak and continued to stare at 'Gin Ichimaru'. This time, however, he didn't make a move. At this moment, Asifi's words alerted everyone, "Alright, the 24th floor is just ahead. Lulune, take out the map."

“Yes,” Lulune replied, taking out a map. Senju glanced at it and asked, “Is this a maze game map?”

"No, this is a map of the twenty-fourth floor," Lulune complained to the squinty-eyed man beside her. Senju shook his head helplessly, but everyone around them gathered around to look at it.
