Offer blocks to the end times

"I see, thank you," Ais said in silence before leaving, while Senju felt somewhat confused.

Back at the castle, Thousand Hands saw William printing cards and explaining the principles to everyone. The people around him listened attentively, and everyone was very interested in the fact that they could learn skills using skill points.

At that moment, Nigolan came out of the kitchen. "Ctholly, go and call the children out. We're having dinner here today."

“I understand,” Chtholly nodded and left. Riveria looked at her card. “The starting points are three hundred. What a strange world. It’s so easy to enhance magic.”

“Hmm, but this is more convenient. I learned five or six spells at once,” Thousand Hands said, glancing at Riveria. “You must have chosen the Great Mage option.”

“Not bad,” Riveria nodded. “It seems the laws of this world are different. But being able to cast magic instantly is really great.”

"Oh right, we were attacked by cabbages here today, so we need a protective barrier," Senju suddenly realized.

“A protective barrier,” Riveria thought to herself, “that seems a bit difficult. I’ve heard it requires a lot of special magical items.”

“Let Tsubaki forge these,” Senju said, looking at Tsubaki who seemed a little uneasy, staring at the card. “Should we add points or not, or wait until she learns the new forging technique?”

“It seems this place is having a big impact on her,” Riveria said with a troubled expression. Senju thought for a moment, “I’ll build her a workshop later, so she won’t just stand there doing nothing.”

“Oh, thank you so much. I was having a bit of a headache, but I can’t do anything about the barrier,” Tsubaki seemed to have overheard their conversation. “Next, I’m going to find the blacksmiths here to learn some techniques and collect some new materials.”

"Whatever," Senju shook his head, used an ability to sever Riveria's dimension, turning it into a permanent barrier, and then began to learn. "I'll do it myself."

"Dimensional Barrier," Senju cast the renamed spell, instantly creating a massive hemispherical barrier around the building. The barrier stood over two hundred meters tall, appearing enormous. Senju then used the Hourai Jade Branch as a source of magical power, surrounded it with a ring of red stones, and finally sealed the center of the formation with bedrock.

“Is this the barrier?” Riveria and Tsubaki leaned in to try it out, then asked, “By the way, how do we get out of here?”

"Um, wait a moment," Senju blushed slightly, then pointed to one side of the barrier, "Activate!"

A large iron gate immediately appeared there, but it looked very strange as it was empty around it. After a dry cough, Senju created a wall around the barrier, which made it look much better. However, one still had to go through the gate to enter and exit; climbing over the wall was not an option.

"Everyone, dinner is ready," Chtholly called out. The three of them then returned to the house, where ten tables were set up with lots of food. Everyone was waiting around the tables for dinner to begin. No one knew when Naveltri had returned.

Nigoran and Chtholly were scattered, taking care of the children. The members of the Hero Squad sat together, while Aisha, Shaley, and the Loki Familia sat on one side. Senju sat down at the table with Chito and the others.

Yuri was there, showing off to Senju, "Hey Senju, you know what? I caught all the cabbages at the beginning, and they were really delicious!"

"Have you tried them?" Senju asked curiously. Yuri nodded. "Of course, they taste amazing, even better than fruit."

"Um, you're not eating it raw, are you?" Senju asked worriedly, then saw Yuri smile smugly at her. "Of course, it's delicious cooked too. You'll see once you try it, Senju."

Ishii nodded in agreement, "That's right, flying vegetables are delicious."

"This tastes so good!" Senju picked up a piece of cabbage and tasted it, her mouth instantly filled with crispness and fragrance. "Is this really cabbage? I've never eaten such a wonderful vegetable before."

“Right, right,” Yuri nodded repeatedly. “All the cabbages we caught have been put in the box, so we don’t have to worry about them spoiling. I even caught a few live ones to keep them alive.”

Chapter 545 A Visitor in the Midnight

"Well, actually, everyone caught a lot of cabbages this time," Chito said from the side. "Although I don't know why the cabbages here can fly, it's great that they turn into whole cabbages after being knocked down."

"Hmm, maybe there are other flying foods too," Yuri thought to herself, drooling as Chito wiped it away for her.

After the meal, Thousand Hands inquired about everyone's professions. Surprisingly, Lila chose the Crusader. According to her, her current weakness is defense, while her attack is somewhat excessive.

Naveltri registered with the guild. He gathered a lot of information at the succubus shop and had a general understanding of the situation here. He chose the 'Sword Master' class.

Amysa chose the Archmage, while Nigoran and Hilgram chose the Boxer.

The golden fairies chose the rune knight, who possesses both swordsmanship and defense.

Aisha and Shalei switched to Berserker, while Haruhime chose the support priest class, dividing her magic into support spells. Shiraiwa Otohime chose...

They chose the Knight of the Cross, and by the way, the two got along very well and became a new maid duo.

Riveria and Lefia are of course great magicians, while Ais hesitated, seemingly wanting to consult with Senju. Tsubaki expressed her desire to become a blacksmith.

"Um, can I learn your resurrection skill?" Ais stared blankly at Senju. Senju had no choice but to nod. However, after teaching her the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Senju realized that Ais's skill required a boss-level magic stone.

Afterwards, Thousand Hands made a set of instruments and hundreds of cards and gave them to the adventurers' guild in the space, so that they could also try using these things.

After hearing about the rules of this world, Naveltri's team also received cards. However, after learning the magic, several swordsmen were happily using it, and it seemed they were going to become magic swordsmen.

After the two members of the original Apollo Familia received their cards, Cassandra showed them to Daphne. Indeed, the card contained the skill of precognitive dreams. She hadn't been lying all along. She invested all twenty of her initial skill points into it and then changed her class to 'Prophet'.

Daphne, seeing the other party's card, had no choice but to believe it. Who would have thought that what the other party was saying was actually true?!

Tiat and the others also received cards, but these were only for tracking their learning progress and did not constitute a job change.

After everything was settled, everyone was about to rest when a knocking sound came from the gate. Thousand Hands realized that there was a missing gatekeeper, and it seemed that everyone would have to take turns on duty.

The noises outside continued, and everyone looked at Senju, who had no choice but to go out on his own.

After flying onto the city wall, Senju looked out, but it was pitch black outside. "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Aqua's voice seemed to come from below. Senju thought for a moment and created two lampstands at the doorway, using fluorite to provide light. Only then did Senju see the four people outside.

Kazuma Sato looked somewhat embarrassed and frightened. After all, Aqua was drunk, sneaking out of the city in the middle of the night and banging on other people's doors. It was really embarrassing.

Darkness, on the other hand, seemed quite excited; perhaps the nighttime stroll had spurred her on.

"It's you guys. Wait a minute, I'll go open the door right away." Senju looked helplessly at the people outside. He hadn't expected Aqua to come looking for him. Did she have some goddess abilities after all?

Upon arriving at the entrance, Senju felt that the iron gate was not easy to open, so he added a lever. As the lever was turned, the gate slowly opened, and the four of them entered the castle.

“Wow, what an amazing castle!” Megumin exclaimed eagerly, while Darkness looked puzzled. “When was this castle built? I’ve never heard of it.”

"Sniff sniff," Aqua sniffed around in a drunken manner, then looked up after a while. "Senju, there's a necromantic smell in your castle. Let me help you get rid of it."

“Hey, this young lady seems very friendly,” Chtholly walked out of the castle, followed by a bunch of little girls, all staring blankly at Aqua.

“What lovely children,” Aqua’s eyes sparkled, then she adopted a compassionate expression, as if holy light emanated from her. “Lost and helpless children, in the name of the water goddess Aqua, I will guide you on your way. May you gain new life and begin your unfinished journey anew. Holy purification of the dead!”

Senju sensed something was off about her appearance, and with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed, "The Holy Grail of Gods, the Salvation Grail!"

A white magic circle surrounded Chtholly and the others, blocking the rain of light emitted by Aqua. Sato Kazuma, standing nearby, slammed his iron sword into Aqua's throat. "What are you doing?! We're here to ask for lodging!"

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Aqua seemed to have regained her senses, but looking at the golden fairies, “these children are beings created by necromancy, and I want to help them find liberation.”

“Thank you, but we are living very well now,” Chtholly seemed to have come to her senses as well, and bowed to Aqua. However, Aqua immediately noticed her. “You are different. You seem to have the aura of a god, but it is not very strong.”

“It’s probably because I know Eloque,” ​​Chtholly said casually, then shielded the children behind her. Asya and the others also ran out to watch Aqua warily.

“Aluco?” After pondering for a while, Aqua reached out her hand to Chtholly. “Blue hair, you are very suitable to join the Axis Cult. I am Aqua, the goddess of water, the goddess worshipped by the Axis Cult. Become my follower.”

“Is she the goddess here?” Riveria and the others looked at Aqua, but after Loki’s baptism, they thought Aqua was quite normal.

“Aqua,” Senju called out in a low voice from the side, “If you keep doing this, I’ll kick you out. Don’t come to my house to recruit followers!”

"Hahaha," Aqua chuckled dryly. The golden fairies beside her woke up, shook their heads, and looked at Aqua again. She no longer had that mysterious attraction; she was clearly just a silly older sister.

Nigoran then cautiously led them back into the space, while Senju reluctantly accompanied Aqua and the others, finding them suitable rooms.

"Remember, Aqua, don't you dare lay a hand on my children, and don't use purification jutsu here," Senju warned. Aqua was there.

He nodded repeatedly.

Kazuma Sato, on the other hand, was more cheerful. "Don't worry, Senju, we're just staying for a few nights. Once we get paid for the mission, we'll find a suitable place to stay."

“You’re the most normal one,” Thousand Hands patted his shoulder solemnly. “You must keep a close eye on them. When you move, I’ll give you a set of armor as a congratulatory gift.”

“Oh, thank you so much,” Kazuma Sato nodded happily, then looked at Megumin beside him, “Listen carefully, no explosion magic is allowed here, understand?”

"I understand," Huihui nodded reluctantly, and then Senju led the four of them to an empty room on the second floor.

Chapter 546 Tax Collector

Although it's an empty house, it feels more like a small home inside, divided into several small rooms, all fully equipped with various facilities.

"I can create anything you need at any time," Senju said, waving his hand to make a set of teacups and then pouring water into them.

"What an amazing skill!" Kazuma Sato exclaimed excitedly. "Can you teach me this skill?"

"Hmm, probably not," Thousand Hands looked up the skill, "Imagination Creation, a cheat-level skill, requires 100 skill points to learn."

“One hundred!” Kazuma Sato shook his head. “Forget it, I only have two skill points now. But this ability is really convenient. I can also make game consoles, ovens and things like that.”

Kazuma Sato presented his ideas, Aqua was drawing with pride, and Senju began to create. Soon, the place became more modern, with various appliances in the living room and kitchen.

Finally, he asked Qian Shou to help make some cell phones, but unfortunately there was no network or anything here, so all he got were empty shells.

Number Six also reminded Thousand Hands that various snacks had already been processed in the city, so he took a bunch and put them here.

Aqua was already drinking cola, eating snacks, and playing games on the side, while Megumin and Darkness watched all of this in great surprise. "Kazuma, that's amazing. He actually thought of all this."

"He's just a shut-in," Aqua, who was more like a complete otaku, said nonchalantly.

In the end, Kazuma Sato even suggested adding a fingerprint unlocking function to the door, and Senju helped him with it. However, only Kazuma Sato's fingerprint could unlock the door, and both of them were afraid that Aqua would run away.

After Senju left, he also rented out a room for himself and installed a recognition system on the portal, preventing Aqua and her group of four from entering.

Afterwards, Senju went to Chito and the others' room to make some changes. The three of them played games until they were tired before resting. And let me tell you, living in a modern place is really comfortable; their sleep quality was better than usual.

When he woke up in the morning, Senju looked at Chito and Yuri, who were still fast asleep and muttering about the game. He covered them with blankets and got up first.

Upon entering, Senju saw that Hilgram was already exercising there, but he hadn't disturbed a single patch of grass. After watching for a while, Senju helped him make a lot of equipment made of super-hard metal, and then he started exercising there.

Looking at the palm print on the super-hard metal, Senju was considering whether he should learn some martial arts techniques, but then a loud knocking came from the other side of the door.

The loud noise immediately attracted everyone's attention. Thousand Hands flew directly to the city gate and saw a fat old man standing outside. Behind him stood another person wearing armor, and another person wearing armor was smashing the gate with a hammer.

"Who are you?" Thousand Hands demanded from above, while those below shouted, "We are tax collectors under Lord Aldap. We suspect you of illegally occupying the lord's land. Open the door now and let us inspect!"

"Heh," Senju found himself amused. Having experienced several worlds and dealt with countless people, he was now being threatened by a lord. "Get lost, or I'll send you on your way?"

"You!" The tax collector below changed his expression. "I wonder which family you belong to, sir? I need to report back to you."

“Hmph, we’re not nobles,” Thousand Hands said nonchalantly. The tax collector outside changed his expression and said viciously, “You’re not nobles, yet you dare to be so arrogant. This castle now belongs to the lord. You’ll have to pay land tax, building tax, fines for building the castle without permission, fines for refusing to be searched, and finally, you’ll have to spend several years in prison before you can be exonerated.”

"Hey, Senju, what's going on outside?" The people inside the castle came out and asked after hearing the commotion. Senju replied from above, "A tax collector has come and is trying to collect money. He's really asking for trouble."

“Tax collector? I remember other kingdoms having this position,” Riveria murmured, though she had never encountered anyone coming to the Loki Familia to collect taxes.

"Tax collectors?" Sato Kazuma, with dark circles under his eyes, asked in confusion, "Is this the Middle Ages? There are still tax collectors here."

“That must be an official under Lord Aldap. I’ve heard they’re extremely greedy,” Darkness said from the side. “If this isn’t handled properly, they could be wanted by the kingdom.”

"Ah!" The three people beside him exclaimed in surprise, but Thousand Hands above paid no attention to them. William and the others also leaped onto the city wall and looked at the people outside. "Thousand Hands, what should we do?"

“take him

"Scare them away," Thousand Hands said after a moment's thought, then raised his staff and shouted outside, "If you don't get out of here, I'll let you taste the magic!"

“You, you are too arrogant! The lord will send an army to punish you,” the tax collector below was still shouting. “At that time, even fines will not save you.”

"Solar Magic - Nuclear Fireball!" Thousand Hands didn't bother with further words. He stretched his staff outside the barrier, and a beam of white light immediately appeared at the tip of the staff, projecting into the sky and creating a small sun. Then it exploded violently, and the strong wind from the explosion knocked the people outside to the ground. They slunk away.

"Huh, it seems much easier to control now," Thousand Hands released it a few more times, and it was much easier to control now, but there were also five or six small suns in the sky.
