Offer blocks to the end times

Lily, meanwhile, chimed in, "Don't overthink it. Lord Star God has always been like this, calling people by their first names. And he seems completely unaware of Crozo's reputation."

"Heh, it's not exactly a good reputation, so it's normal that people don't know," Welf said, though a little sour inside. Then he shouted, "I will definitely forge a weapon that surpasses both of them!"

When Senju got home, she saw that the lights across the hall were on, so it seemed that Hestia had already come home. But when she looked at her own house, Senju rolled her eyes. Those people who came home early didn't even bother to tidy up their homes.

After pushing open the door, Senju turned on the light, took a quick shower, and then went to rest. However, there was a loud knocking on the door next to her.

"Who is it?" Senju called out irritably, and then Hestia's voice came from outside, "Senju, have you run into Bell? He hasn't come home yet."

"Oh, it's Hestia. Just a moment," Senju said, opening the door after finishing her work. She saw Hestia looking anxious outside. "Usually, Bell would be back by now. Could it be...?!"

Hestia suddenly realized a possibility: "Could he have gone to live with that philandering cat?!"

“No, how could that be?” Thousand Hands shook his head repeatedly. “Bell recruited a new player today, and they’re having a party right now.”

“Is that so?” Hestia pondered for a moment, then looked at Senju. “What will Bell’s new teammate be like? Is she a woman?”

“No,” Senju shook his head and invited Hestia in. “Alright, come in and sit down for a while. I’ll tell you about his new teammate.”

“Hmm,” Hestia came in and sat on the sofa, then looked back and forth between Senju and the table several times. Senju couldn’t stand it anymore. “Wait a moment, the snacks and tea will be here soon.”

Senju got up and went to the kitchen next door to get some food, and Hestia nodded in satisfaction.

After rummaging through the kitchen, Senju found the snacks and tea that Nigoran and the others had prepared. After brewing the tea with hot water, Senju brought it out.

"Oh, it smells so good," Hestia said, her mouth watering. After watching Senju set out the snacks, she started eating them herself.

Senju looked at Hestia helplessly, "Let's talk about Bell's new teammate instead. His name is Welf Crozo, he's a blacksmith, with short red hair, a young man, and he looks like this... Hestia, what's wrong with you?"

As Senju was speaking, he noticed that Hestia across from him seemed to have choked on her snack. He quickly offered her a cup of tea, which she drank in one gulp before recovering. "Crozo?! You mean Bel's new teammate is Crozo?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with him?" Senju was puzzled. She quickly showed Hestia a photo, thinking that he and Nigoran both had red hair. "Could he be a cannibal?!"

"What's that?" Hestia was speechless for a moment, then returned to normal, staring at Welf in the photo. "The Crozo family is a family that can forge magic swords. I've heard that they forge..."

The magic sword is incredibly powerful; many have been made in the past. But, Wilf Crozo, you can ask the people at my workplace for advice.”

"Hmm, but the Demon Sword is a good opportunity for Nils to get to know it. Maybe he can even make one," Senju thought for a moment and nodded, muttering to himself.

However, Hestia, standing nearby, was pouring cold water on the situation, saying, "It's a pity that the Crozo clan has been cursed by elves and fairies, so they probably can't make magic swords anymore."

“Ah, that’s a real pity,” Senju sighed. Hestia, standing beside him, explained to Senju, “In the past, the Crozo family was a renowned blacksmithing family in the Kingdom of Ares, and they forged many magic swords for use in war.”

"But Crozo's magic sword burned down the natural environment around the battlefield, burned down the fairy forest, and incidentally burned down the elven forest as well. Enraged, they shattered all the magic swords and cursed the families of those blacksmiths, making them unable to forge magic swords."

“I see,” Senju nodded. “What a pity. I was hoping Niels could learn from this.”

“Hmm, if Bell had the Demon Sword, he would be safer in the dungeon,” Hestia thought to herself. “He’s going to operate in the middle level recently, and I feel like it’s a bit dangerous without a powerful weapon.”

Chapter 501 Lefia's Cultivation

After chatting for a while, Hestia went back. However, Senju looked at the empty desserts and questioned his life. When did she eat all the desserts?

However, after Hestia's reminder, Senju wanted to find a high-level blacksmith, preferably one who could forge magic swords. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Hephaestus's place after the expedition to see if there was a suitable blacksmith.

In the morning, Senju heard Niels shouting for help to install equipment, so Senju sent a bunch of robots to the orphanage to install the equipment and had the robots select some programs suitable for children to watch.

After letting the robot install itself there, Senju went outside. The sounds of real battle were coming from the training room. Senju went in to take a look and found that Ais was still there. She was practicing with Bell, and Lefia was also waiting in line.

"Oh, Lefia, you're here too," Thousand Hands greeted her. "How's the parallel chanting practice going?"

“I’ve already finished training and prepared quite a few curse marks,” Lefia nodded, looking at Ais with eager anticipation. “I originally wanted to show Miss Ais them, but that human has been keeping them all to himself. It’s enviable, no, it’s just too shameless!”

“I see,” Senju chuckled, then suggested, “By the way, how about I summon some monsters for you to practice on?”

"Okay, please," Lefia agreed after thinking for a moment. Senju opened a spatial portal and summoned a unicorn rabbit. "Let's try this first."

"Hmm," after Lefia went in, the rabbit attacked her. She dodged the monster's attacks by dodging left and right, without stopping her spells. After a while, a ray flew out from her staff and killed the rabbit.

“Great, there’s more to come,” Senju increased the number of rabbits. Lefia was a little flustered, but she still managed to eliminate them.

However, once the number of rabbits increased to five, Lefia had no time to chant spells and was soon attacked by the rabbits. Fortunately, her level was already LV3, so she was not afraid of the rabbits' attacks, but she looked quite disheveled.

"It seems you can't let too many monsters get close during the battle," Thousand Hands said, summoning a witch to throw out a healing potion.

"If it weren't for practice, I would have used the curse card I prepared," Lefia said defiantly, then felt her wounds healing. "What is this? It feels like a person, but it's so strange! It's not a normal human."

"Yes, this is a witch from the 'Cube World,' skilled in medicine making, using various medicine bottles as weapons," Thousand Hands explained briefly. This was a method he had just thought of to utilize her. The witch was a good helper, capable of producing large quantities of medicine under Number Six's command.

"A witch, huh? But a blocky world, is that what you're referring to?" Lefia pondered for a moment, then looked thoughtfully at the square sun above her head.

“That’s right, Reality Marbles are born from fantasy, and they are very different from reality,” Senju rambled on for a bit, then looked at Lefia, “Shall we continue?”

"I'm counting on you," Lefia said earnestly, looking at Senju outside. Senju nodded and summoned a demonic wolf with a wave of his hand. Lefia watched as the fireball was about to be spat out by the wolf, raised her staff, and shouted, "Raise the cup as a shield, the cup to ward off evil, the Holy Grail of the Gods!"

A white magic circle blocked the wolf's fireball, and then Lefia took the opportunity to cast the spell 'Arc Ray' to knock down the target.

Then Thousand Hands changed to many more monsters, and Lefia fought continuously there. Thousand Hands placed a witch on the side, and whenever Lefia was injured, the witch would throw out healing potions.

By the time Ais noticed them, Lefia had already mastered the art of parallel chanting. Although she was covered in dirt, her fighting spirit remained undiminished, and she worked even harder after seeing Ais appear beside her.

"Lefia, you worked really hard," Ais praised Lefia as she watched her defeat a monster.

There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, "Miss Ais~"

Then Lefia saw Bell standing next to Ais and her tone changed, "Miss Ais, let me try with this human. I also want to test the results of my training."

“But Bell is already very tired,” Ais hesitated, glancing at Bell who she had beaten up several times. However, Bell didn’t want to lose face in front of his dream goddess, so he nodded in agreement. “It’s alright, Miss Ais, I can still fight.”

The ensuing battle took place indoors, with Bell facing Lefia, referee Ais, and audience member Senju.

"Begin!" With Ais's voice, both of them unleashed a fighting power beyond their usual levels. Lefia watched as her opponent charged towards her with a short sword in her left hand. "So fast! Raise the cup as a shield, the cup of slaying evil, the Holy Grail of Gods and Saviors!"

The magic shield blocked Bell's thrust, but in that instant, Bell suddenly darted to the side, attempting to get behind Lefia.

Lefia was startled, but she didn't stop chanting. The magic shield moved behind her, where Bell held up his short sword, chanting, "Fire Lightning, Fire Lightning, Fire Lightning!"

Several spells shattered the shield, and Bell charged forward, but Lefia's spell was also complete: "Arc Ray!"

However, Bell's right hand suddenly extended the holy sword forward, colliding with the white light. The holy sword shattered the light, and Bell also placed the short sword in his left hand against Lefia's neck.

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment. The battle was quite exciting, but it ended in the blink of an eye!

"The winner is Bell," Ais announced mercilessly from the sidelines. Lefia slumped to the ground in disappointment. "How could this be?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Bell said, feeling apologetic after the battle. He reached out to help Lefia up, but then hesitated, remembering that she was an elf and shouldn't be touched by others.

Lefia, however, didn't care. She pulled him up by the hand, then glared at him angrily, "I will never lose to you again!"

“Hahaha,” Bell chuckled dryly, while Ais congratulated him, “Bell, you’ve made great progress lately.”

"It's all thanks to Miss Ais's help," Bell said, feeling quite embarrassed. "And I'm not strong enough yet. By the way, I heard that Miss Ais is going on an expedition. The monsters in the deep must be very strong."

“Hmm, it’s very strong, with lots of tricky monsters,” Ais said to him, and Bell listened with longing. “I really want to go there and see it. I wonder when I’ll be able to keep up with Miss Ais. I wish it were soon.”

Chapter 502 The One-Eyed Master

Lefia, who was losing, went to Senju and asked him to help her with special training. Senju was bored, so he summoned monsters to accompany Lefia during her training.

After several training sessions, Lefia's magic power reached its limit. While she rested, Senju switched with Bell to challenge the giant beetle. Lefia wanted to see his fighting style, while Ais wanted to discover the secret behind Bell's rapid increase in strength.

Although the battle was long, it ended quickly. While the beetle was in a defensive stance, Bell kept harassing it from all sides. When it spread its wings and accelerated, Bell used magic to burn away the inner wings and then pounced on it to kill the monster.

He then tried his hand at sniping dragonflies. These dragonflies were over a meter long and looked quite formidable. They attacked with long-range light projectiles at a very fast speed.

Bell was hit by the light bullets several times when he first entered the arena, but he blocked them with his arm guards and holy sword. However, his magic could not catch up with the dragonfly, and in the end, Bell found a chance to win.

"Swift as the Wind and Thunder!" With Bell's magic, his speed increased several times over. With a speed that surpassed that of dragonflies, he concentrated all his magic power into the holy sword, then leaped up suddenly. With several flashes of sword light in the air, the dragonflies had their heads cut off. However, Bell also exhausted his magic power and fell from the sky, where he was caught by Ais.

Thousand Hands gave him a bottle of mental recovery potion and told him to rest well. Today's trial was over. If he continued fighting, he wouldn't be able to go to the dungeon today.

Ais took good care of him, while Lefia sulked on the side, and Senju kept summoning witches, attempting to build his own alchemy base.

While everyone was busy, William, Lila, and Nigolan arrived. They were going to take Thousand Hands to Finn's side to familiarize themselves with the formation.

Senju actually wanted to slack off, but she had to take on the job even with tears in her eyes. However, everyone was waiting for Ais, who was waiting for Bell to recover. Fortunately, Lily walked in from outside and took over Ais's duties, and then everyone left.

After buying some food along the way, the group arrived at the Twilight Mansion. The expedition was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but the place was eerily quiet, as if the Loki Familia was fully prepared.

However, after Senju entered, he found that there was another woman in the group dressed in Japanese-style shrine maiden attire, with black hair and red eyes, wearing an eyepatch over her left eye, and carrying a long samurai sword at her waist.

“This is Tsubaki, a member of the Hephaestus Familia, Orario’s most skilled blacksmith, and an Adventurer Level 5 with the title ‘One-Eyed Master,’” Finn introduced the woman. “We’ve invited her here to discuss the immortal weapons you’re using.”

The problem.

"An indestructible weapon?" Senju looked at it. Tsubaki was clearly a straightforward person with dark skin, a tall and voluptuous figure, and she was looking at Senju with great interest.

“Yo, I’m Tsubaki Kobrand,” she said, then casually inquired about the Senju’s weapons. “So the Senju Familia all use greatswords? That’s a bit of a problem.”

"What's wrong? Is there not enough time?" Finn asked from the side. Chun nodded, "That's right, the weapons you ordered can be barely finished, but the new weapons are difficult to make due to the materials, and these people already have immortal weapons."

"Oh?" Finn looked at Senju and the others with great interest, while Senju looked on in confusion. Tsubaki looked at Senju's sword sheaths and said, "These are the sword sheaths. I remember Hephaestus mentioned a deal, exchanging dream materials for sword sheaths with the attribute of immortality. It turns out it was with the god Senju."

Tsubaki circled around Senju, "But I didn't expect the Senju clan to develop so quickly, they're already able to develop all sorts of gadgets. By the way, I wonder if you could sell me some of those materials?"

"Tsubaki, have you two known each other before?" Finn asked from the side. Tsubaki turned around and said, "The main god collected some dreamlike materials from the thousand-armed god. These are items that have never existed in this world before. I've always wanted some."

"Haha, back then I had just arrived in Orario and didn't have much money, so I used precious materials to pay off my debts," Senju chuckled dryly. "But recently I have plenty of funds, so I haven't been selling any materials."

“I see,” Finn nodded. He also knew that the source of funds that Thousand Hands mentioned was from the sale of various items. The Loki Familia alone had spent over two billion, not to mention the other Familias.

"Hey, how about transferring some materials to me? We can discuss the price," Chun said, leaning closer to Senju. Senju thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure, but I'd like to recruit some blacksmiths with superb forging skills, preferably those who can forge magic swords."

“I’m highly skilled, but I’ve already signed a contract with someone else. And magic swords are a bit difficult to make; they’re very busy,” Chun said, looking a little troubled. But then her eyes lit up. “By the way, I know a magic sword blacksmith who’s in a lot of free time. He’s the best magic swords he can forge. He’s a descendant of a famous blacksmithing family. All I need are a few pieces of material, and I can introduce you to him.”

“Okay,” Thousand Hands nodded, and then the two discussed it on the side. In the end, Thousand Hands exchanged a diamond, a redstone, ten pieces of hellrock, and three pieces of lava for the other party’s introduction.

"Ah, thank you so much," Chun said happily, touching the blocks. "The blacksmith I was talking about is named Welf Crozzo. He's the only one in the Crozzo family who can forge magic swords. The magic swords he forges are incredibly powerful. I'll take you to meet him in a bit."

“Wait a minute,” Senju felt this deal was a bit of a rip-off, “You mean Welf? The red-haired young man, right?”

“Oh, you two know each other? Then I don’t need to say anything more,” Chun said happily as she put the cube into the box, seemingly with no intention of returning it. “This is the address of his amplifier. You can recruit him with my letter of introduction.”

“Well, I think he’s probably not home. Besides, a friend of mine recently signed a contract with him, so they should be in the dungeon right now,” Senju said helplessly. Tsubaki, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. “It’s okay, it’s okay. You’ll definitely succeed. Good luck.”

"Wait!" Senju, who was standing to the side, felt speechless. Tsubaki, on the other hand, secretly slipped away with her box on her back. Seeing her skillful running away, Senju decided that if she couldn't find a suitable blacksmith, she would use Tsubaki as payment.

Next, everyone started training here. After a while, Naveltri arrived with Xia Lei and Aisha. Only then did Senju realize that he had forgotten to invite these three into the space when he went home yesterday.

Bert glared at Naveltri with displeasure, and then the two began 'training' on the side, looking like they were really fighting.

Chapter 503 The Newborn Heretic

While they were practicing, Finn approached them. "Lord Thousand Hands, I heard that you will also be participating in the Assembly of the Gods?"

Senju nodded. "That's good. I think the conference is quite interesting. I've agreed to participate since I have a way to get there and back. But I'll need your cooperation. We'll need to stop for a while on the way."

“No problem,” Finn nodded. “With William and the others’ help, we can reach the 50th floor’s safe zone in three days without any problem. At that time, we can have the team set up a base there and complete the missions on the nearby floors.”
