Offer blocks to the end times

Her voice was very reassuring, gentle and clear, but Qian Shou frowned. "A fallen fairy spirit? It actually tracked me here. It's like a persistent ghost. Could it have hatched from some precious jade thrown over by some guys?"

"A Fallen Immortal? What's that?" The other party smiled gently, and Senju relaxed for a moment. "What are you? A monster?"

"I am Princess Anle, the resting place for retired adventurers. Unknown adventurers, leave quickly," the other party said gently. Thousand Hands hesitated, "Are you really not a fallen fairy?"

“Of course not, I am just offering peace to those who suffer from illness,” the other person said gently. “It is my duty to relieve their pain.”

"I see," Senju nodded. No wonder she was called Princess Anle. But Senju didn't care. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the other person called out to him, "Young adventurer, I have a lot of equipment from adventurers who have passed away. I hope it can help you."

"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood you." Senju put away his weapon and pointed to a spot not far away. "I've hidden all those items here. You can go and find the useful ones yourself."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Senju said, taking out his diamond pickaxe to dig for treasure. However, on the way, he accidentally stepped on a branch...

The lower half of the tree attacked the Thousand Hands, and Princess Anle was still shouting in panic, "Be careful, I can't control it, get away quickly!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Senju waved his hand, and more wooden vines surged from his body to bind the branches. The other party's expression changed when he saw the wooden vines surging from Senju's body, and then he said softly, "I didn't expect you to be one of us. That's rare."

"Hmm?" Senju was puzzled. He also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. After a moment of silence, the other party revealed a wicked smile. "I wonder how you got rid of the tree roots? Can you teach me? It's so boring here. Even eating an adventurer is such a hassle."

"Huh?" Senju looked at her in surprise, but she didn't seem to care. "Stop pretending. We're from the same clan, after all. We all know each other. But you're just pretending really well. Hurry up and teach me how to act alone. I'm tired of being here."

"Hmm, is this what it means to reveal one's true nature?" It took Senju a while to react. This persona collapsed way too quickly.

Chapter 602 Overly Active Plants

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're from the same clan," Princess Anle said with an evil smile, but after seeing Qian Shoudian's expression, she slowly turned cold. "This is really troublesome."

With a soft sigh, countless tree roots sprouted from the surroundings and bound Thousand Hands. "This forest is my home turf. I will force you to tell me even if I have to."

"Hmph, courting death!" Senju was furious as he looked at the swirling tree roots around him. He had been tricked again. "Life Drain!"

After amplifying the effect using Wood Release, Senju could completely drain the plant's magic power, stamina, and life force. As the magic was cast, the opponent sensed something was wrong, pleading, "Wait, it was my fault, please let me go!"

Her screams were like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, which was heartbreaking and pitiful. However, with the magic of the Thousand Hands, her life force had been drained, and the branches on her body began to slowly crumble.

"I never imagined I'd die like this," the other seemed to know his fate, glaring fiercely at Senju. "But don't be smug. My roots have spread throughout this forest. Once I'm resurrected, I'll seek revenge on you!"

"Don't worry, you won't have a chance!" Senju nodded, watching her turn into dust and disappear.

"What a nuisance," Senju muttered, closing his eyes in exasperation. The surrounding magical energy transformed back into a light screen. Senju crouched down, pressing his palms to the ground. Countless wood-style tree roots spread out, enveloping the glowing area. "Enhancement: Life Drain!"

With his skill, he absorbed all the life force, magic, moisture, and nutrients in this area. The surrounding trees withered, and the various animals inside were unable to escape, all turning into dried corpses.

In the end, after Senju retrieved all the tree roots, a huge pit sank into the entire forest, and all the surrounding trees turned to ashes. He then saw a clean spot on the map. "What a pity, quite a few people must have been fooled, but now they're completely finished."

After finishing that, Thousand Hands replenished the water and planted the trees again, then flew towards the guild to find out what kind of monster it was.

When he arrived at the guild, there weren't many people there; everyone seemed to be doing quests. Thousand Hands went to the counter to turn in his quest and received his bounty. However, Luna said that it would take some time to sell the gold, and it would take half a month to gather the 1 billion.

"Whatever," Senju said indifferently. He didn't care about the gold anyway. If he hadn't promised Eris, he would have already started making magic silver coins and could have made billions in no time.

"By the way, in the woods west of the city, there's a creature that looks like this. What exactly is she?" Thousand Hands projected a phantom image for Luna to see. After examining it closely, Luna's expression changed. "Lord Thousand Hands, this is Princess Anle. She's been in the west of the city for many years. Although she poses a great threat, adventurers who go to hunt her down consider her a low-threat monster, so she's always been a casual quest that can't be completed."

"Could it be that Lord Senju has already defeated her?" Luna looked at Senju in surprise. Senju nodded. "That guy was very good at pretending, but he still revealed his true nature. I have completely defeated her, leaving not a trace."

"That's great!" she exclaimed with delight after hearing Senju's explanation, looking at him with admiration. "That way, that place won't become a suicide hotspot, and I've solved another problem."

"Really?" Senju asked curiously. Luna said, "Princess Anle is an advanced version of Anle Girl. They often pretend to be pitiful to deceive passersby. Many elderly people also go to them to end their lives, causing a lot of trouble."

"I see," Senju said, listening to Luna's explanation. She realized that they were cunning plant monsters, and the Anle Girl looked like a human, but she couldn't stray too far from the roots. She often pretended to be a pitiful girl by the roadside to deceive passersby.

Moreover, they spread through seeds, and can easily sprout and grow into their own form in a short time, causing one trouble after another.

"These plants are really troublesome, the vegetables can even fly," Senju complained. Luna nodded in agreement. "That's right, the vegetables are quite amazing. You need a permit to start a vegetable garden, but a high-level adventurer like Lord Senju could try."

A small vegetable garden.

"Uh, is there danger in growing vegetables?" Senju asked in surprise. Luna looked at Senju strangely. "Of course. Many vegetables are very violent. You can't grow them without a certain level of combat power. You can easily be killed by them. In addition, there are many pests that interfere with the growing of vegetables. It is very difficult to grow vegetables."

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment, then Luna looked at him enthusiastically, "For the first year, I suggest that Lord Senju try planting vegetables that are very friendly to newcomers, such as bok choy, potatoes, radishes, and saury."

"Friendly?" Senju asked curiously. Luna nodded. "These vegetables are fine after a little watering and a massage, unlike cabbage, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, and the like, which are often damaged by harsh treatment."

“This is really difficult,” Senju shook his head. He thought for a moment and looked at the plants he had bought in his space. However, they had only been growing for a little over ten days and did not look mature yet. So he took out potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots. “I can provide a lot of vegetables, as well as vegetable seeds that won’t attack people.”

“Vegetables are easy to deal with,” Luna picked up three kinds of vegetables and looked at them, then she shook her head, “but the kind of seeds you mentioned, Mr. Sato Kazuma has provided many portions, and they are currently being tested, but the germination rate doesn’t seem to be very good.”

“I see,” Senju nodded. It seemed that the vegetable issue was too prominent, and Sato Kazuma had also noticed it. However, Senju had a lot of vegetable reserves. “Then, I will provide ten tons of potatoes and ten tons of carrots first.”

"Um, there's a bit too much," Luna said hesitantly. "Thanks to Lord Senju's activities this year, the guild has already stockpiled enough vegetables, and the vegetable shops haven't been doing very well lately, so..."

"Oh, I see. Then forget it." Senju shook his head speechlessly. Anyway, he hadn't lost anything. After getting the money to fight Princess Anle, Senju had nothing to do for the time being, so he ordered some dishes and wine and started eating.

Looking at the adventurers laughing and joking around him, Senju was filled with emotion. However, after watching for a while, Senju felt that he could learn something from them. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he could learn various skills from them!

After thinking about this, Senju put up a sign: "100,000 Eris for a skill, first come, first served, duplicates are invalid!"

After he put up the sign, there was a sudden moment of silence, then a bunch of people rushed over, shouting, "Let me go first! I have the most skills!"

Chapter 603 Crazy Skills

The scene was chaotic for a while before the guild members stopped it. The annoyed guild members smiled and asked Senju to leave. Senju rolled her eyes speechlessly, then took the paper and quietly discussed something with the adventurers around her.

Upon hearing the news, the adventurers all rushed over. Even Wiz was summoned by someone. After discussing the matter, they each went out individually with Thousand Hands to teach him skills.

The final result was gratifying. Through peaceful negotiations, everyone fully exchanged opinions and discussed the prices of some skills. In the end, Thousand Hands paid 200 million Eris to acquire more than 200 skills. For some particularly valuable skills, Thousand Hands even offered special items in exchange.

Sword master, skilled in using one- or two-handed swords, and possessing a range of sword techniques including slashing, parrying, and counter-attacking;

Rune Knight: Rune application, energy burst, enchanting, spirit slaying, etc.

The Crusader possesses various resistance skills, super armor, protection, and expulsion abilities.

Priests, responsible for prayer, lighting, bestowing courage, dispelling evil, and creating holy water;

Thieves, stealth, sensing hostility, theft, making/disarming traps, binding, escaping, wire mesh, etc.;

Archers, skilled in sniping, long-range shooting, long-range vision, and multiple arrows;

Hunter, taming, tracking, etc.;

Elementalist: The method of summoning elemental golems of various elements;

The Creator, a series of knowledge about creating chimeras, and the knowledge of creating items using magic;

The remaining skills include necromancy, spells, forging, alchemy, cooking, tailoring, and other miscellaneous skills.

In the end, Senju couldn't even figure out how much he had learned; the skill list was too dense. It wasn't until evening that the surrounding adventurers dispersed to celebrate at the inn, and Senju followed them in.

After ordering the food, Qian Shou looked at his skill bar, which contained all sorts of strange and unusual skills.

Fortunately, these skills didn't consume many points, and Senju learned them all, but they were all at the beginner level. Senju planned to drink more medicine before upgrading them.

Looking around, Senju realized that Sato Kazuma and the others were already eating, while Aisha and Shalei were sitting in front of her, having been there for who knows how long.

"Oh, Lord God, are you awake already?" Aisha asked from the side. Several dishes were laid out in front of her. Senju nodded. "Oh, it's Aisha. How are you feeling here?"

“Well, it’s alright, but there are a lot of strange things,” Aisha shook her head. “I never thought there would be so many strange things.”

“This is another world after all,” Senju shook his head. The three chatted for a while, and Senju learned that the two planned to hone their skills here before heading to a more advanced city.

Since the previous teleportation crystals had all become invalid, Senju gave the two of them twenty teleportation crystals, all destined for the interior of the castle, and then Hashirama.

After giving them a bunch of skill potions, the two thanked them and then treated Thousand Hands to a meal.

After finishing their meal, Senju teleported home, but Aisha and the others said they had something to do and would go back later.

When Thousand Hands returned to the castle, he found it even emptier; apart from robots and puppets, there were hardly any people left.

That makes sense. This is the beginner area after all, and everyone's combat power is so strong. We can't just keep catching frogs, can we? Unlike Orario, there aren't many monster resources here.

But just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a white shadow float past in front of him, and Senju instinctively reached out, "Arc Ray!"

The bluish-white light immediately struck the white figure, tearing it to shreds. However, when Thousand Hands went to check, he found nothing. Upon closer inspection, he also found no unusual fluctuations in the surroundings.

He initially thought he was being paranoid, but then a bunch of white figures suddenly flew out of the stairwell, and Thousand Hands realized that these were probably undead.

"Sunfire!" Endless flames instantly filled the corridor, and the souls inside were burned to death with screams. Thousand Hands breathed a sigh of relief, but the carpet and doors in the corridor were burned to ashes, so Thousand Hands had to put out the fire there.

The commotion alerted Hilgram, who rushed over and discovered that it was Thousand Hands there. After a brief conversation, he understood the situation.

After thinking for a while, Senju upgraded his newly learned skills 'Hostility Sense' and 'Undead Detection'. Following the reaction, the two arrived at the cherry blossom grove outside the castle.

Here, they watched in silence as many ghosts flew about, and in the very center were the headless knight's greatsword and the skeleton of a Hydra, as if these things had attracted the undead from the surrounding area.

After watching speechlessly for a while, Senju used a necromancy cleanse to send the ghosts into the sky, then put the items away. "Looks like this can't be left here."

“Hmm, I didn’t expect there to be so many ghosts here,” Hillgram nodded in agreement. “But there should be some more ghosts hiding in the castle.”

“Leave it to me,” the two returned to the castle, and Senju used the Holy Barrier Technique, causing the undead in the castle to immediately flee.

“It’s my fault for not discovering so many ghosts hiding in the castle,” Hillgram said apologetically. Thousand Hands shook his head. “It’s not your fault. It’s mainly the sword that’s the problem. By the way, I happen to have some skills here that you can learn to help deal with the undead.”

Hilgram nodded and looked at the Thousand Hands card. After standing for a while, the two went to sit in the living room, where the puppets brought out tea and snacks.

After careful selection, Hilgram chose five skills: Prayer, Holy Flame, Wave Impact, Resist Evil, and Spirit Slayer.

After learning all this, Hilgram exerted force on his hand, and pure white 'flames' appeared on it. "Rest assured, God, with this, my battle aura can also harm the soul."

"Yes, it's all up to you," Senju nodded, then went back to rest. He was also a little sleepy after a whole night of tossing and turning.

After waking up in the morning, Thousand Hands thought about how to make the castle more lively. Daphne and Cassandra in the space could be used to fill the number of people, or the Orc Forest could send some beauties to act as a facade.

Then Thousand Hands started contacting people, and Daphne and Cassandra agreed quickly. They felt that the town was too peaceful, and they could team up with Aisha and Shaley.

The situation in the Orc Forest was a bit more complicated. They were obsessed with comics and movies, and spent all their time listening to Rei's stories. They had become a bunch of shut-ins. However, in the end, they still agreed to select some maids for Senju, on the condition that they would pursue music and have the opportunity to hold a concert.

After a moment of silence, several burly orcs emerged. They could provide guard duty, but there would have to be a fight every day.

Look at these degenerate bastards, fighting guards. Thousand Hands has been handed over to Hilgram. Hopefully, they can withstand a couple of blows from him.

The music students were a bit of a problem, but luckily Chunji, who was on duty, stepped forward and said that she had studied some music in her hometown and could teach them.

However, she studied Japanese music, and judging from the instruments she mentioned—shamisen, koto, and biwa—Senju was somewhat worried that Haruhime might teach them incorrectly.

Hearing Chunji's words, the group shook their heads repeatedly. What they wanted was to form a cool band, not to play those strange instruments on the street.

Finally, Senju agreed to find them a suitable teacher and also found some musical instruments in the city for them to practice. Haruhime volunteered to be the teacher.

Chapter 604 The Castle That Reunites Popularity

Seeing that there were more people in the castle again, Senju finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then registered their cards, made them wear black robes and masks to serve as guards.

The maids changed into maid outfits and followed Haruhime to learn how to cook, but they'll probably be quite surprised when they see Otohime.

After settling everything, Senju pondered what to do next. It seemed there was nothing else to worry about here. Thinking about it that way, she could take Chito and the others to the modern world for a while.

However, the different flow of time is really troublesome. If this isn't resolved, everything will be problematic. But now that everyone we could discuss things with has run away, Senju is also in a difficult position.
