“A mission? Well, that works just in case,” Senju and Finn discussed for a while and set a time for their return trip.

Afterwards, everyone trained for a while longer. Around noon, Senju went to find Welf, Nigolan went home, Lila and William were free to do as they pleased, and Naveltri also had Senju escort them back to town.

Just as Senju had expected, Welf wasn't home. However, he quietly dug through the wooden wall and went inside to take a look. There were far more tools than Senju had imagined, with all kinds of tools available. Several weapons and armor were also hanging on one side, but he couldn't find the magic sword or anything like that.

"What a pity," Senju said with some disappointment as he looked at the weapons and armor. Although he couldn't tell the quality of the works at all, they were probably far inferior to first-grade weapons.

With nothing else to do, Thousand Hands teleported to the dungeon. This time, he came to plunder the dungeon's original plants to provide various fresh materials for the witch's medicine-making base.

After arriving at the nineteenth floor of the 'Great Tree Maze', seeing that there were no adventurers around, Thousand Hands began scraping 'tree bark' here. However, every time he dug into the surrounding wooden walls, a monster would jump out. Thousand Hands would choose the pretty ones and put them in his space, intending to build a zoo.

They continuously send surrounding plants and monsters into the space. The plants serve as raw materials, while the less impressive monsters become the witches' practice subjects to see the effects of their poisons. Incidentally, the dropped items become new materials.

However, just as Senju was happily scraping the ground, he noticed a strange monster emerging from the pit in front of him. Unlike other monsters that ignored Senju, she stared at him from the moment she was born, but did not attack him.

Senju looked at the newborn girl with some surprise. Her silver hair was loose, her shoulders and waist were covered with fine white scales, and there was a red gem on her forehead. Her ears were also pointed, but their overall length exceeded that of an elf's long ears. Of course, she was not wearing any clothes.

"A reptile?" Thousand Hands was somewhat surprised, then shook his head, looking at the other's face, "No, although some features are still there, the head is no longer that of a lizard."

"A lizard?" the girl said slowly, then walked closer to Senju, tilting her head to look at him curiously.

Feeling the pure gaze of the other party, Thousand Hands regained his senses and realized that the other party was a rational monster born from the dungeon.

Senju took out some clothes and prepared to dress her. She sat there letting Senju do as he pleased, curiously watching everything. However, Senju then noticed that she had also prepared a pair of folded pterosaur wings.

"It's uncomfortable," she said, writhing around after putting on her clothes. Then she tore the clothes open with her hands, and only then did Thousand Hands notice that her nails were still curved claws and she had not completely transformed into human form, looking just like the songbird.

Seeing Senju's gaze and her tattered clothes, she looked like a child who had done something wrong, hiding her hands behind her back and looking at Senju with fear.

"Sigh," Thousand Hands sighed, made two fluffy gloves for her to wear, then changed her into an elven protective garment, and finally helped her put on a hooded cloak.

After getting dressed again, she seemed very excited, looking at her clothes and then trying to smell them.

"Sigh," Senju could only sigh again, looking at the child in front of her. She seemed to be a normal girl at first glance, with her wings close to her body, showing no abnormalities. However, her behavior would easily give her away.

Moreover, as soon as she takes off her hat, all people know is that she's abnormal: her amber vertical pupils and excessively long ears. Even Senju wants to fix her up.

Senju pondered her fate. Sending her to the 'Heretics' seemed like a waste; his relationship with them wasn't that good yet. It was rare to encounter a monster with reason. Perhaps he could try bringing her into his familia, or even training her as a maid.

As Senju pondered, he slowly spun around, and the Dragon Girl followed suit. After Senju finished thinking, he clapped his hands, and the Dragon Girl followed suit, but only a low thud came from the furry gloves on his hands. She clapped curiously.

The most suitable place for her is Nigolana. Having seen so many strange races, a dragon girl with only slight pterosaur features can't cause any trouble at all.

After making up his mind, Senju opened the entrance to the Fairy House. His clone tried to bring the Dragon Girl inside, but she kept shaking her head and hid behind Senju, saying, "No..."

“It’s alright, he’s me too,” Senju patted her head, then gestured for a while before the Dragon Girl felt relieved and followed Hashirama into the space. Senju then used Wood Release to protect himself.

When the pillar entered, it saw Noft on the lawn, proudly telling everyone a story, while the children around him listened very attentively.

Aesya, bored, sat to the side. When she saw Hashirama, she greeted him, "Yo, Senju, you're here."

"Thousand Hands?" the dragon girl repeated, and then Athena noticed her. "And who is this?"

“Yes, I found her on the road,” Hashirama said, taking off her hood. Asya looked at her with some confusion, “A beastman? Where did you find Senju?”

“No, I found her in the dungeon,” Hashirama shook his head, then recounted the story of the ‘heretic’ and comforted the somewhat frightened dragon girl beside him, “It’s alright, these are all friends.”

“Friends?” the dragon girl repeated, while Athena nodded. “So there are such beings here.”

The children nearby seemed to notice the commotion and slowly approached. "Hey, who's that? Their hair is so pretty."

"Hmm, the jewel in her hair is beautiful, and her hair color looks like the heroine in 'The Lizard Bride,' it's all white."

Surrounded by children, the dragon girl dared not move, afraid of hurting them. The children tugged at her clothes, asking all sorts of random questions, "Hey, who are you? Where are you from? What movies have you been in? Are you a lizard too?"

"???" The dragon girl looked puzzled, then turned to the two people beside her for help.

Aisya, who was standing to the side, also learned the details from Senju. She rubbed her aching head and said, "Alright, stop bothering others. I have something to tell her."

"Yes~" the children replied and dispersed. Then, Asya led Hashirama and the Dragon Girl into the house.

Chapter 504 Naming

After taking off her cloak, Asya saw the bat-like wings behind the dragon girl, then took off her gloves and tested the sharpness of the dragon girl's claws.

“Well, she’s still a bit dangerous to the children,” Athena thought for a moment and then raised her hands. “Especially her fingernails, they can easily cut people when they touch them. They need to be treated, at least so that she can’t get hurt whenever she touches someone.”

The dragon girl opposite also raised her hands to look, and then realized that her hands were completely different from everyone else's. When she put them on the table, several holes appeared there. She looked at her hands in fear.

"What should we do then?" Hashirama asked from the side, but he remembered that Gray Rock Skin's hands were also claw-shaped. "There are a lot of reptilian people over there, right? How did they deal with them?"

“Oh, there’s another way,” Asya seemed to suddenly realize, then grabbed the dragon girl’s hand, “Don’t move, let me cut it for you.”

Then Asya took out a dagger and started trimming her nails. The dragon girl was a little scared, but she didn't dare to move, afraid of hurting someone.

However, after a while, Athena stared blankly at the dagger that had become pitted and dented. "It seems I need a stronger weapon. Right, let's try the dagger I just got."

As Aesya spoke, she ran out, leaving the dragon girl standing there bewildered. She then prepared to put on the gloves beside her. Thousand Hands, watching from the side, took out a pastry and showed her how to eat it. The fragrant and sweet pastry immediately won her heart, and she became very happy.

A moment later, Athena ran back, carrying a short sword that seemed to be a high-end item that Senju had bought before. The trimming went smoothly this time. After cutting off the dragon girl's claws, Athena carefully polished them before finishing.

"Hmm, perfect!" Asya was very happy looking at her work, and the dragon girl was also very happy to see that her hands had become the same as everyone else's, so she tried them out everywhere.

Hashirama, on the other hand, was collecting the clipped claws. Judging from their sharp gleam, they should be good materials. Speaking of which, should I prepare a nail clipper with the 'indestructible' attribute for her in the future? That way, she could collect even more.

As Hashirama was pondering this, Asya was teaching the dragon girl to speak. Just then, the door to the house was pushed open, and Yuri walked in from outside.

"Oh, a beastman," Yuri seemed to have learned a lot recently, immediately noticing the dragon girl's difference from the others. "What's your name? What race are you?"

"Name?" the dragon girl asked疑惑地, then Yuri pointed to the people and said, "I am Yuri, this is Aeseya, this is..."

“This is Hashirama,” Hashirama pointed to himself. Yuri stuck out her tongue; she didn’t know how to address the Senju clone.

"Yuri, Asya, Hashirama?" The dragon girl mimicked him, her learning ability seemingly quick; she immediately understood the meaning of the words, then looked expectantly at Hashirama, "Names..."

“Why don’t you name her something? You’re the one who brought her here,” Asya said from the side. Hashirama immediately thought of Gray Rock Skin. “Hmm, how about ‘White Rock Skin’? That doesn’t seem quite right.”

“Then let’s call it ‘Nuko’,” Yuri suggested, then immediately rejected the idea. “But ‘Nuko’ is a cat, so that won’t work.”

After a while, Hashirama suddenly looked up and said, "I've got it! Let's call him Shiraiwa!"

"What kind of name is that? No way," Asya complained from the side. It should definitely be a girl's name. What was Senju thinking? It makes her think of a certain giant lizard.

A while later, Chtholly and the others arrived after hearing the news. They looked the dragon girl over in the house and then noticed her scales. "Hey, are you a reptile? What's your name?"

After everyone learned that the Dragon Girl had no name, they racked their brains for a name. Chun Ji suggested, "Why not call her Yi Ji? In our land, women associated with dragons in legends are all called Yi Ji."

"Hmm, that's fine," the group who had been racking their brains breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid the names they had thought of. Hashirama made the decision, "Then the child's name will be Shiraiwa Otohime."

"Huh?!" A group of people nearby exclaimed, not understanding what Senju was thinking, but Haruhime, who was standing next to him, probably understood, "Lord Hashirama must be referring to someone whose surname is Shiroiwa and given name is Otohime."

"I see," everyone finally understood. Hashirama waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll leave Otohime to you. Teach her some common sense. I'm going back now."

After Hashirama finished speaking, he turned into a wooden statue, and his attention returned to his own body. The people in the room stared blankly at the wooden statue sitting in the chair. Then, a few people carried it out and placed it outside as a decoration. Otohime was also very interested in the wooden statue and touched it for a while.

When Senju's attention returned, he discovered something outside attacking his defenses, but his LV4 Wood Release defense was still very strong.

Senju manipulated her Wood Release technique to slowly lift her defensive sphere. A voice came from outside, "Everyone, be careful!"

"This thing moved; there must be something good inside."

"Who's disturbing my sleep?!" Senju shouted at the people outside as the defensive sphere rose higher and slowly opened the wooden wall.

"Huh?!" The adventurers outside, who had been eagerly anticipating their attack, were somewhat embarrassed to discover that the strange ball was actually someone else's defensive magic. Most importantly, they hadn't been able to break through the opponent's defense after attacking for a while, meaning the opponent's level must be higher than theirs. "Um, this is all a misunderstanding! We thought a monster had been born! Let's go!"

Before Senju could say anything, a group of adventurers tried to run away. Senju wasn't about to let them go so easily. "You can leave, but you'll have to leave something in return. Herbs, loot, magic stones, anything is fine, otherwise..."

As he spoke, Senju used Wood Release to create a giant behind him, saying, "You know the consequences."

Seeing the giant that seemed to be able to support both his and her, the group of adventurers clearly chickened out. They haphazardly dropped some things off their bodies and ran away, and Thousand Hands didn't stop them.

After tidying up, Senju found that the place was mostly filled with herbs, along with some ores and other things, which he put into his spatial storage.

After putting away the wooden statue, Senju collected some more plants. However, looking at the vast nineteenth floor, Senju felt a little regretful. There were many useful plants here. He wished he could devour all the trees on this floor.

After sighing for a while, Senju returned home. He realized that his power was still too weak, but when he was strong enough in the future, he could devour the entire dungeon.

Chapter 505 Modernization

When Senju returned home, it was already evening. William and Nigolan didn't seem to be back yet. She hadn't seen them in the space either, and she didn't know where they had gone.

However, Senju wasn't too worried. These two weren't so easily harmed. He found some food and leisurely ate it, while also examining the claw he had just obtained. The identification result was 'Pterodactyl claw,' and the quality seemed quite good.

Thousand Hands took out the high-grade materials he had, preparing to make some suitable equipment: Goliath leather, Goliath teeth, a two-headed dragon skull, a unicorn horn, and a pterosaur claws. However, after some calculations, Number Six found that these materials were not suitable for crafting items. After thinking for a moment, Thousand Hands decided to go to the blacksmiths here and ask them to see what they could make.

As Senju was pondering, a commotion arose outside. When Senju went out to see what was happening, he discovered that Nigolan and William had arrived with a convoy.

After paying the deliverymen and sending them away, Nigolan explained to Senju, "We're going on an expedition tomorrow, so we need to stockpile supplies for the children now. By the way, could you give me one of those 'refrigerators' I saw in a book?"

“Hmm, okay, I’ll go look for it,” Senju thought Nigolan’s words made a lot of sense. If they were going on an expedition these days, they needed to prepare all kinds of supplies for the children. He opened a door to the space and then asked the robot to look for appliances such as refrigerators.

Soon the robots reported that they had found several units. Although there were some problems, Senju didn't care. After getting them, he started repairing them.

William and Nigolan kept pushing the car inside, and the children who were playing at home came over to help, saying, "Nigolan, someone brought someone today."

"Yes, she is very beautiful, with long ears, and she wears jewels in her hair."

"Hmm? Are there guests?" Nigolan asked, puzzled. Then, noticing the wooden carving between the pillars, she turned to Senju outside. "Senju, did you bring anyone in today?"

“Yes, I found a child in the dungeon. I felt she would have a hard time surviving outside, so I brought her back,” Senju nodded, then told her about Otohime’s situation. “To be honest, sending such an innocent child to the heretics would be risky. I don’t know what the outcome would be. Why don’t you educate her? You can also help out here.”

“Is that so?” Nigolan thought to herself. Chtholly and the others also noticed the situation outside and came out to help. Shiraiwa Otohime was also mixed in with them, and Nigolan spotted her at a glance.

The silver hair and pure eyes pleased Nigolan greatly. This child was innocent and pure, as if she were a newborn.

Especially since her appearance was very different from that of ordinary humans, beastmen, and elves, Nigolan knew that the outside world was dangerous for her, so she decided to take the child in for the time being. "Are you Shiraiwa Otohime?"

"Hello," Shiraiwa Otohime nodded, looking at the woman smiling gently across from her. She felt a mixture of longing and fear. She knew in her heart that the other woman was showing kindness and that she could approach her, but her biological instincts warned her as if the other woman were a higher-level monster.

“Oh, you’ve already learned to talk, that’s good,” Nigoran went over and patted her head. Shiraiwa Otohime immediately abandoned her biological instincts and was very happy.

A group of little girls nearby were trembling in fear. "Oh no, she's going to be eaten by Nigolan. Hmm, so pitiful."

William, who was moving things, watched them speechlessly, then clapped his hands and said, "Alright, hurry up and help. We bought a lot of delicious food this time."

"Yes," the little girls resumed their activities, and Shiraiwa Otohime, who had been easily subdued by Nigoran, also began to help.

“感

"How did you feel?" Senju asked, watching Nigolan approach. Nigolan nodded. "That child is very naive, but kind-hearted. She's just like me. I like her very much."

"That's good. From now on, I'll rely on your guidance." Senju nodded, then took out several refrigerators. "This is the refrigerator. I'll help you install it. By the way, do you know how to use it?"

As Senju spoke, he used his clones, then used Wood Release to lift the refrigerator, and also had several levers in his hands.

“Yes, I read a little about it in the book. The temperature inside is very low, so it can preserve food,” Nigoran said as she led Hashirama into the facility and placed refrigerators everywhere.

After Qian Shou gave a brief explanation, Nigolan understood the use of each floor better. She led everyone to put away the fish, meat, vegetables, and snacks they had bought.
