"The Tower of Sages?!" Hashirama's eyes lit up. He'd heard Reinhard mention it before. "There must be a lot of good stuff there, right? Where is it?"

“It’s in the Ouglia Dunes, or more precisely, the tower where the sage Shaula lived, though it’s called the Preaitis Watchtower,” Roswaal said from the side. “The sage Shaula built a tall tower near the ‘Witch’s Shrine,’ which sealed the Witch of Envy, to stop those who wanted to resurrect her. For four hundred years now, the sage has been fighting.”

"Is the witch's seal also over there?" Hashirama asked in surprise. Felix nodded. "That's right. After the three heroes sealed the Witch of Envy away, they guarded that place towards Shaula. Anyone who gets close will be mercilessly killed."

He then added, "A year ago, because of the royal family's strange illness, Reinhard also wanted to go to the Sage's Tower to ask for guidance, but he was stopped by the attack from there."

“I know that,” Hashirama nodded, then began to divine, before frowning. “Shaura? Isn’t the sage among the Three Heroes, Frugel?”

“Who is that? He sounds familiar,” Felix thought for a moment before realizing, “Ah, isn’t that the planter of the big tree on Rifaus Avenue?”

"So that's how it is. She's Flügel's apprentice," Hashirama continued calculating and came to a conclusion. However, after further calculations, Subaru Natsuki's figure appeared in the clues. "Hmm? Did I miscalculate again? Oh well, after reviving the royal family, I'll have Reinhard investigate again."

“In that case, we’ll head back now. Once the royal family is resurrected, we will also accompany Lord White Dragon to the Tower of Sages in order to defeat the rampant Witch Cult,” Crusch stood up, bowed, and then left with Felix.

“I feel like I’m seeing my younger self,” Riveria shook her head as she watched Crusch leave, then pondered in her mind, “But the Tower of Sages, it must contain a lot of knowledge, and the time flow here is so fast, it’s perfect for research.”

Afterwards, everyone dispersed. Roswaal went to prepare for tomorrow's schedule, Subaru Natsuki encouraged Emilia to go to the village to comfort the villagers, and Hashirama prepared to recruit Liliana.

However, when they found her, Liliana was enjoying the snacks Rem had brought her, asking Rem all sorts of questions as she ate, "So, the Sword Demon was restored to his youth by Lord Hashirama, and the other protagonist, Theresa, was also resurrected by Lord Hashirama?"

“Not bad, I made it,” Hashirama sat down to the side, then looked at Liliana, whose mouth was covered in pastry crumbs. “Are you interested in becoming my subordinate? The pay is very good.”

"Do you have delicious food and a soft bed?" Liliana seemed very interested. Hashirama found that she was easier to tame than he had imagined. "Of course, and there's a large salary every month too."

"Really?" Liliana drooled with delight. Hashirama nodded. "Not only that, you can also be the lead singer of my band, perform with more than a dozen people, and have many new instruments and songs."

"Really?" Liliana looked incredulous. Hashirama nodded. "Of course it's true! We can sign a contract."

"Wonderful! I can live my dreamlike life again!" Liliana exclaimed, completely captivated. Rem, standing beside her, stood up and bowed, then hesitated, "Lord Hashirama..."

"What's wrong, Rem?" Hashirama looked at her curiously. Rem's hesitation turned into determination. "Lord Hashirama, could you please revive my village?"

"It's possible, but what are you willing to give up?" Hashirama looked at her seriously, wanting to see how much resolve she had. Rem nodded gently, "Unlike my sister, I didn't sign a contract with Lord Roswaal, so I entrust everything to you, hoping you can revive my family."

“Yes,” Hashirama nodded, “but we must have the remains or belongings of the resurrected person. If we don’t have those, then I’m sorry.”

“Of course there are. Everyone’s remains are buried in the village,” Rem breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Hashirama gratefully. Then her expression turned cold. “By the way, sir, that person named Subaru Natsuki has the scent of a witch on him. He’s likely a member of the Witch Cult. Should we…”

As she spoke, she even made a chop to her neck with her hand. Hashirama looked at her speechlessly, "Girls shouldn't be fighting and killing. Besides, Subaru is a good person. He was just dragged into this. You must remember to protect him at all times."

“Yes, Lord Hashirama. Since it is your order, Rem will obey.” Rem bowed to the side. Hashirama stretched and said, “Alright, let’s revive your village now. We can let them move to my place.”

Chapter 721 The Resurrection of the Ghost Clan

Hashirama, who was clearly aiming to gain both money and life, was naturally happy to help with the resurrection. His own space was short of people, and although they were demons, they could still fill the gap, especially with the addition of a top-tier maid like Rem, who was far superior to his own useless maid.

Much better.

"What's on Lord Hashirama's side?" Liliana asked, looking very curious, while Rem listened attentively.

Hashirama then began to speak, "It's super peaceful over there, there are no witch cults or anything like that. Lily, a singer like you would be adored by millions of people there."

"Billions of people? Hehe, really?" Liliana began to fantasize, and Rem was also very fascinated. "Does such a world really exist?"

“Of course there is. It’s much better than you can imagine,” Hashirama then performed a divination on Rem’s hometown before opening a portal. “Let’s go there.”

“Yes, Lord Hashirama,” Rem immediately followed, and Liliana also ran over. “Wait, what about me?”

The three appeared in a ruin, overgrown with various plants, but charred marks could still be seen on the ground and building remains, as if they had been burned.

“Something terrible must have happened here,” Liliana murmured, looking around. Rem led the way. “Lord Hashirama, please follow me.”

The two behind followed, and the three of them arrived at a huge graveyard. Rem's face was hidden in the shadows. "This is where everyone in the village is. They were all killed by the Witch Cult that night."

"I see," Hashirama patted Rem's head. "Don't worry, your skills will be back soon."

“Yes,” Rem replied softly. Hashirama cast a spell, and a bunch of small earth elementals slowly appeared on the ground. They burrowed into the earth and quickly brought back a pile of bones. Hashirama then sorted them out, and many earth elementals sank into the ground with the bones. Each of the remaining earth elementals held a small piece of bone.

Then, corresponding earthen platforms rose from the ground, which then transformed into diamonds under Hashirama's magic power, followed by pieces of wood-elemental material flying onto them.

"Then, let's begin," Hashirama cast a spell, and all the surrounding objects twisted and turned into white spheres, which then shattered one by one, revealing bewildered figures standing inside.

"What on earth is going on?" People in the crowd were puzzled. Rem, on the other hand, rushed to a woman in a kimono, crying, "Mom!"

The woman looked blank, then, as if sensing something, slowly touched her head. "You are... Rem?"

“It’s me, Mom,” Rem cried, while the people around her looked blank. “Rem? I remember she was only this tall.”

"Is that Rem? It's Daddy!"

"Wait, weren't we killed by the Witch Cult?" Someone quickly realized, then looked around. "This is our village! How did it become like this?"

"Has a long time passed? Have we been resurrected? What exactly happened?"

"Alright," Hashirama used his aura to suppress the surrounding noise. He held a small wooden seal in his hand, which he had just made, with two attributes attached to it: loyalty to the Senju clan and resurrection of the Edo Tensei.

“You have been dead for a long time. It was Rem’s request that gave you the chance to be resurrected,” Hashirama slowly flew up. “However, you are not fully resurrected yet. You still need the final magic to be truly resurrected.”

"Who is he?" The same question appeared in the eyes of those around him. Liliana ran out from the side, "This lord is none other than the holy White Dragon God!"

"Dragon God? Why has the Dragon God descended upon our small place? And where did Ram go?"

"But Rem is amazing, she actually found the Dragon God."

"Huh, I feel like I've been resurrected. My magic and senses are perfectly fine."

Rem explained the situation to everyone, and they finally understood what had happened over the years.

Hashirama contacted Riku there, asking him to help arrange these people. Riku was somewhat speechless, even though it had only been a few hours, but he still agreed to help arrange them. Fortunately, these demons were dressed similarly to Japanese kimonos, and the town was short of people, so after some training, they could be used as street vendors or something.

After a while of commotion, the group of ghosts calmed down, and then an old man stepped forward. “Thank you for your help, Lord Dragon God. The ghosts are willing to obey your commands.”

“That’s the clan leader,” Rem whispered, having somehow retreated behind Hashirama. Hashirama nodded. “Is that so?”

Hashirama directly relayed the information to the clan leader, "After you are truly resurrected, you will go to live in a new world. Rem and I will be there soon too."

"We are extremely grateful," the clan chief was overjoyed after receiving the message from Hashirama, and then shouted to the people behind him, "Today, with the help of the Dragon God, we can return to our homeland!"

“Hometown? Yes, Lord Dragon God,” the group said, though they had some doubts. They bowed and Hashirama stamped their seals one by one before opening the door.

Then a group of people went inside, where a young couple waved, "Rem, we're waiting for you and Ram over there."

"Don't worry, Father, Mother, my sister and I will be there soon," Rem said, her eyes filled with joyful tears, waving goodbye to the two of them.

.

After watching everyone pass by, Hashirama closed the portal, glanced at Rem with tears welling up in her eyes and Liliana muttering to herself, and said, "Let's go back."

After returning to the living room, Rem bowed deeply to Hashirama, saying, "Thank you, Lord Hashirama. From now on, Rem belongs to you."

“Hmm,” Hashirama nodded, tapping her forehead where a diamond-shaped mark immediately appeared. “I’m looking forward to it, my head maid.”

"Phew, that's amazing! This is a legendary event!" Liliana, who had finally come to her senses, seemed to have created a masterpiece. "Listen to my newly composed song."

"In the desolate land slumbering in darkness, a white god descends; strange beasts born from the earth bring back the bones of the dead; an altar of flowing light rises, and the white light of life falls, awakening the dead..."

"Bang!" The door was suddenly flung open, and Ram rushed in, relieved to see Rem. "Rem, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere, it was so worrying."

“It’s alright, sister,” Rem said with a bright smile. “I’m already Lord Hashirama’s woman.”

Chapter 722 The Poet's Ideal

"Rem?" Ram looked at her sister in confusion, then her expression gradually turned ugly. She stretched out her hand towards Hashirama, a whirlwind forming on it. "Lord Hashirama, what exactly did you do to Rem!"

"Ah, I'm innocent!" Hashirama hurriedly raised his hands and shouted.

Liliana, who had originally intended to make a scene, immediately backed down and hid under the table after seeing Ram's magic, too scared to come out.

"I'm fine, I'm just so happy," Rem hurriedly wiped away her tears, "I just asked Lord Hashirama to revive the village, and I've agreed to be Lord Hashirama's maid."

"Oh, I thought Lord Hashirama had done something bad to Rem," Ram breathed a sigh of relief, then realized, "Huh? The village's revival? Could it be that Father and Mother..."

“Yes, they’ve all been resurrected,” Rem replied happily, while Ram looked incredulous. “Really resurrected? I need to go back and see.”

“Sister, everyone has already gone to the new world where Lord Hashirama is, so you can’t find him in the village,” Rem quickly explained, while Ram looked at Hashirama.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Hashirama projected the scene back then onto her screen. Ram breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Hashirama with genuine emotion. "That's wonderful. I never thought that Father and Mother would meet again. However, Lord Hashirama, I'll leave Rem in your care from now on."

“No problem,” Hashirama gave a thumbs up. “Not only Rem, but Ram will also be coming along. Rose has already sold you to me.”

"Huh?" The two sisters were taken aback, then a pillar of wind erupted from Ram's body, "Roswaal!!!"

Seeing Ram's furious expression, Rem felt a little worried, "Sister..."

"Hoo," after a while, the wind pillars that had been surging around Ram finally stopped, and she looked at Hashirama seriously, "Lord Hashirama, what exactly happened?"

"Well, how should I put it," Hashirama thought for a moment, "Let me put it this way, Roswaal also has people he wants to revive, do you understand?"

"I see," Ram regained her usual composure. "I understand the basics now, and I'll ask Lord Roswaal about it."

“However, we still need Rem’s help at the manor for the time being. Please forgive us, Lord Hashirama,” Ram said, taking Rem’s hand and looking at Hashirama. Hashirama nodded. “Of course, we’ll leave things here in your care.”

"Thank you, Lord Hashirama," Ram said, leading Rem outside. Hashirama then muttered under his breath, "I haven't mentioned that Roswaal also sold this mansion."

"Phew, she's finally gone," Liliana breathed a sigh of relief after watching Ram leave, then crawled out from under the table. Hashirama looked at her speechlessly, "Speaking of which, you're afraid of power and strength, and you're greedy for food and money, so how come you can sing such a beautiful song?"

"How rude of me! I'm just an ordinary girl who also wants to live a wealthy life," Liliana retorted, then stared at Hashirama with sparkling eyes. "Please listen to my new song, awaken the souls of the dead, rebuild their bodies of blood and bone, and with the blessing of the White Dragon, revive them in their eggs!"

"How is it? My new song?" Liliana looked very excited. Hashirama looked at her helplessly. Could he say that his artistic level was not high? "It's alright, but it would be even better with a suitable melody."

“I think so too,” Liliana said, trying to play the Ruri-rei. Hashirama looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Speaking of which, with your singing voice, you could have a better life, so why do you keep running around?”

“That is certainly possible, but I also have my own pursuits. I chose the profession of bard in order to seek the newest legends in the world.” Liliana’s expression became firm.

"A legend?" Hashirama asked, somewhat puzzled.

Liliana nodded, looking like she was praying. "Yes, it is the legend. I embarked on this journey to seek it out and to sing its praises. And I am so lucky to have found the newest 'legend' so quickly. You are undoubtedly the protagonist of the new legend."

"

“Is that so? But I don’t think so,” Hashirama shook his head slightly. “I know many people whose stories are far more legendary than mine.”

“Really? Please tell me,” Liliana’s golden eyes lit up again. Hashirama silently pushed away the girl who was clinging to him. “Alright, if you want a story, go find the Sword Demon. You can use his story to create the sixth and seventh acts of Sword Demon’s Love Song!”

"Ah, you're right, thank you, Lord Hashirama," Liliana suddenly realized, and then hurriedly ran out.

Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, it seems I can have her write a song for everyone in the Familia in the future."

After lying there for a while out of boredom, Hashirama became somewhat interested in the Sage's Tower that Crusch had mentioned. According to them, the Sage's Tower not only housed knowledgeable sages, but it could also unleash countless beam attacks, even blocking Reinhard. Most importantly, it had suppressed the Witch of Envy for four hundred years.

After thinking for a while, Hashirama remembered the 'Mage Tower' mentioned in the novel. This must be it. But why did the sage Frugal, who built the tower, completely hide himself? Was he guarding against something?

After thinking for a while, Hashirama remembered two people: the Witch of Disguise, Pandora, and the Melancholy Demon, Hector. These two were likely the masterminds behind the scenes. They were also hiding. Did they have some grand plan? Or were they afraid of being discovered by 'someone'?

Although I'm hiding well now, once the royal family is resurrected, I'll definitely be thrust into the spotlight, and I wonder if they'll come out then.

"But Pandora is indeed a formidable foe," Hashirama thought for a moment and came up with several ways to completely defeat him. However, she shouldn't have reached the point where her words could become law yet, so Hashirama still had a chance.
