Offer blocks to the end times

Then, watching as magic and items combine to create incredibly high attack power and super-fast recovery ability, this becomes his core combat capability.

Seeing Hashirama's lazy demeanor, Wilhelm didn't say much and started training. This time, Hashirama was giving him guidance. Although he wasn't very good at it, he could still recall what others had taught him before.

Wilhelm tried practicing the "Oriole's Praise and Swiftness" technique taught by Hashirama, and surprisingly succeeded on the first try. Seeing his swift footwork, Hashirama was very pleased and prepared to continue teaching him.

However, Wilhelm stopped after a while, gave a wry smile, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "It seems this is putting a lot of strain on my body. If it weren't for the protection of the Steel-Cutting Sword, I wouldn't have been able to use it more than a few times!"

Chapter 731 Revisiting the Capital

“Use this as an emergency measure,” Hashirama said, treating Wilhelm’s injuries. Wilhelm nodded. “I understand.”

After practicing for a while longer, Hashirama went back to check on things and found Emilia there, watching a video. He asked her what it was, and she told him it was a video Natsuki Subaru had recommended. Meanwhile, the others went to make breakfast.

After some time, Rem came to call Emilia for breakfast, while Hashirama was tidying up his computer before going to find Beatrice.

Upon entering the Forbidden Library, Hashirama saw Beatrice still playing on the computer. He quietly crept over and discovered that Beatrice was watching anime and excitedly shouting.

"..." Hashirama was speechless for a moment, then silently retreated and knocked on the door again. After a while, Beatrice opened the door. "Is there something you need?"

"Pack your things, we'll be heading to the capital soon," Hashirama reminded her from outside. Beatrice nodded. "Wait, here you go."

Then she took out a gem and handed it to Hashirama. Hashirama could feel the magical energy surging from it. After looking closely, he saw a miniature building inside. "What is this?"

“This is the main body of the Forbidden Library. You can carry it with you, and I will follow you,” Beatrice explained briefly, then shrank back. “I have important things to do now, so you can just take me with you.”

"Okay, I understand," Hashirama nodded, then put the gem away. After breakfast, everyone was preparing things, and soon the dragon carriage was brought out, with Wilhelm leading an earth dragon out as well.

However, looking at the number of people and the dragon carriage, Wilhelm felt that the dragon carriage seemed a bit crowded. He and Theresa could ride the ground dragon, but the dragon carriage required five people to sit, which felt a bit too cramped.

However, Hashirama opened the gate to the capital there, though it was outside the city. The group arrived and checked the assignments. Wilhelm and Theresa were naturally together. As for the other five, Rem and Subaru were supposed to be in the driver's position, Hashirama and Emilia in the carriage, and Liliana in the luggage carriage.

However, both Hashirama and Subaru Natsuki felt a little uncomfortable, so they switched places.

When entering the city, Hashirama saw soldiers guarding the gate, but no one came to ask for an 'entry fee'. He asked Rem and learned that the carriage had the mark of a nobleman, so the soldiers dared not disturb it!

"The royal capital is indeed magnificent," Natsuki Subaru exclaimed excitedly. Rem drove the car for a while before remembering that Hashirama didn't know their destination. "Lord Hashirama, where are we going?"

"Uh," Hashirama paused, realizing he'd forgotten to tell Reinhard, "Hmm, that is a problem. Let me ask..."

"The wondrous Reinhard."

"Ahem," Wilhelm said awkwardly, while Hashirama contacted Reinhard, "Hey, Reinhard, we've arrived in the capital. Have you prepared accommodations?"

"Lord Hashirama, please rest assured, the members of the Sages' Guild have prepared accommodations for you in the palace. I wonder where you are now? I will go and show you the way immediately."

"Hmm, the royal palace... it doesn't feel right. But we'll be there right away," Hashirama nodded, then opened a spatial portal. There stood Reinhard, who seemed to be on patrol.

"Lord Hashirama," Reinhard bowed, then looked at the others, "Lady Emilia, Subaru, and everyone else, greetings."

"Hmph," Wilhelm snorted unhappily, though his youthful appearance was somewhat comical. Hashirama nodded. "Besides the palace, are there any other places to stay?"

“Is that so?” Reinhardt nodded, and after thinking for a moment, said, “Then Duke Karlsten’s castle can also be used as a place to entertain you, sir.”

“Duke Karlsten?” Hashirama asked in confusion. Wilhelm stepped forward and reminded him, “That is my former master, Duke Crusch Karlsten.”

“Ah, it’s Crusch,” Hashirama suddenly realized. Come to think of it, she’s a duke too, so her residence should be even bigger than Roswaal’s. “That’s a good choice.”

“Please follow me, my lord,” Reinhard said to the guard beside him, who immediately went to deliver the message. Then Reinhard led the way, while Liliana looked at him with sparkling eyes. “As expected of the legendary sword saint, the knight among knights, Lord Reinhard, ah, even the way he walks is so handsome.”

Upon hearing this, Reinhard turned around and smiled at her, and Liliana's eyes immediately turned into hearts. "So handsome!"

He shook his head speechlessly, then saw Reinhard mount a ground dragon led by a guard. "Let me lead the way."

The car moved slowly following Reinhard's directions, but the atmosphere between the people on both sides of the car was not very good. Theresa wanted to get closer to her grandson, but Wilhelm disliked Reinhard, making the people in the middle feel a little awkward.

"Ahem," Hashirama coughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere around him. "By the way, Reinhard, can you control your Dragon Sword?"

“Well,” Reinhard shook his head with a wry smile, “I can’t control the Dragon Sword Red. It will only be drawn when it encounters a worthy opponent.”

"Hmph, Dragon Sword," Wilhelm glanced disapprovingly at the sword hanging at Reinhard's waist, "I'll break it one day."

Reinhard simply responded with a smile. Wilhelm gripped the Steel-Cutting Sword, his aura pressing down on the Dragon Sword. Reinhard then sensed the Dragon Sword's intention to be drawn, but he suppressed it. "It seems your strength has increased quite a bit."

"Hmph, this is Lord Hashirama's blessing," Wilhelm said, looking at him with displeasure. "Now Theresa also has a stronger sword, a sword that won't backfire."

“That’s wonderful,” Reinhard replied with a smile, then felt the Dragon Sword tremble before calming down. “Strange, the Dragon Sword is afraid. What’s going on?”

Hashirama quietly withdrew his aura. He had just tried to erase the Dragon Sword's consciousness, but then thought better of it. Although this weapon was not easy to use, it was very rare. "It seems that Reinhard needs to strengthen his control over the Dragon Sword until he can use it without the support of the Sword Saint."

“Well,” Reinhard smiled wryly, “I plan to leave the Dragon Sword with the family here, hoping they can choose a new Sword Saint.”

“Is that so?” Hashirama nodded. “No problem, I’ll prepare a new sword for you over there.”

"Hmph, I wonder how much fighting power you still have after leaving the Dragon Sword," Wilhelm said coldly from the side. Reinhard did not respond. After all, this was his grandfather, but he looked too young, which was embarrassing!

Chapter 732 The Resurrection Plan

At this moment, the dragon carriage stopped in front of a castle, and Reinhard dismounted first, saying, "This is Duke Karlsten's castle."

“Oh, how magnificent,” Hashirama nodded. This place was indeed larger than Roswaal’s. Crusch and Felix were waiting for them there.

"Welcome, Lord White Dragon and Lady Emilia," Crusch and the cat-eared girl said, then led the way. "Please follow me, everyone. Snacks and tea have been prepared in the living room."

“Hmm,” Hashirama nodded, while Reinhard bowed. “Well then, Lord Hashirama, I must continue my patrol.”

"Oh, isn't little Rhine coming along?" Theresa was a little disappointed as she watched her adorable grandson leave. Wilhelm glared at Reinhard from behind, and Reinhard explained with a wry smile, "I'm still a member of the Royal Guard and have to do my job. I'm sorry."

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Theresa nodded. “In a few days, Wilhelm and I will go back to the manor to visit, and we’ll get together with Heinkel and little Rhine again.”

After the group entered the city gate, someone led the earth dragon and the dragon carriage to the side. Rem and Subaru followed. Liliana hesitated for a moment before following Rem's footsteps.

Crusch then introduced the history of this place to Hashirama and the others, explaining the meaning of each sculpture. Wilhelm looked around with some nostalgia, "It's still the same as before."

“But Will looks quite different now,” Felix teased. “I never imagined he was so handsome when he was young. No wonder he won Miss Theresia’s heart.”

Felix was teasing Wilhelm, while Hashirama was observing him. In fact, Hashirama quite liked him, not because he was a cross-dressing cat-eared man, but because of his healing jutsu.

Of course, the healing techniques Hashirama is referring to now are not the kind that heal injuries, but the kind that heal diseases. Wilhelm has mentioned that Felix is ​​also very skilled at treating diseases, and can solve most ailments using water magic.

After the group entered the living room and took their seats, a bunch of maids came forward to serve tea. Hashirama finally felt a bit more aristocratic. However, the conversation that followed was rather pointless. They talked about history and spirit, but Hashirama didn't care about the history and spirit here at all! He didn't care about the Lion King or the Lion Mane King.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the royal family's resurrection going?" Hashirama asked. Crusch nodded. "The royal tombs have been protected, and the outermost seal has been removed. Only the seal on the Dragon's Lair remains, which requires the badge of the chosen king to open."

"Is that so? I wonder how well it's preserved inside," Hashirama said with some concern. After all, it would be fine if it had been there for a long time, and once it had turned into bones, it wouldn't be so frightening. But half a year was something that made Hashirama a little worried.

“It should be fine,” Crusch said, seemingly reassured. “When the royal family was buried, they were sealed with ice magic, so nothing should have changed.”

"That's good," Hashirama breathed a sigh of relief, but he wondered whether he should appear relaxed or exhausted, and whether he should add some special effects to make money.

“However, there are only five direct descendants of the royal family, and more than thirty collateral relatives, wives, daughters and other related people. Does Lord Hashirama intend to resurrect them all?” Wilhelm asked from the side. Hashirama was slightly surprised, then nodded, “So few? I’ll resurrect them all.”

"Is the resurrection technique such a simple thing?" Felix asked curiously from the side. Hashirama nodded and then shook his head. "It's very simple for me, but it's very difficult for you."

"Is that so?" Felix asked curiously. "Ancient books record many forbidden studies about resurrection, but none of them have been successful. Lord White Dragon, are you really confident?"

“Of course,” Hashirama nodded, while Theresa, standing beside him, offered her own explanation. Felix nodded and was about to examine Theresa thoroughly when Wilhelm glared at him.

Hashirama was pondering methods of resurrection. The first method was, of course, a resurrection spell for the newly deceased. This resurrection spell was only mastered by high-ranking priests among professionals because it required divine power to reconnect the broken relationship between the soul and the body. Of course, this magic could also do it, but the chances were very small.

However, Hashirama didn't use that method. After all, the longer someone has been dead, the greater the difference between their body and soul becomes. Hashirama usually forcibly summons their souls and then transforms the false body into a real one.

Of course, he had another method: to create Dragon Balls and summon Shenron to make a wish. However, Shenron seemed to have a special connection with this place, but Hashirama felt that using Shenron here was a bit of a waste, as the Dragon Balls had a much greater purpose.

Theresa, who was standing nearby, finally had to be examined by Felix before the examination was over, while Emilia, who was also very curious, was also present.

After discussing the resurrection of the royal family for a while, everyone started talking about dealing with the Witch Cult.

"It's still about the Witch Cult," Felix said seriously. "The kingdom is simply incapable of eradicating them, and those high-ranking bishops..."

“Let alone those archbishops of the Great Sin, we’re not even sure about those three demonic beasts,” Crusch shook his head gravely. “White whale, great rabbit, black serpent.”

“I’m confident I can take down the white whale,” Theresa said from the side, “but the problem is that we don’t know its location at all.”

“Well, I have received news that the white whale is likely to appear soon,” Crusch said solemnly, “but the exact location and time are uncertain.”

"Is that so?" Hashirama nodded, then looked puzzled. "Can't we determine its exact location and time? How then can we find it?"

“It all comes down to luck,” Crusch shook her head somewhat reluctantly, then asked, “By the way, didn’t Lady Riveria come this time?”

“Rivia, she and her companions went to participate in a trial against a witch,” Hashirama explained casually. Crusch shook her head. “A witch? Could it be that the Witch of Jealousy still has some remnants left behind?”

“No, it’s the grave of Echidna, the Witch of Greed,” Hashirama explained, and the two men’s expressions changed. “The Witch of Greed? The name of another witch?”

“Lord White Dragon, if we spread the names of other witches indiscriminately, it will easily attract the Witch Cult,” Felix said in alarm. “Legend has it that there was a fortified city in the Southern Empire of Vollacia that spread the names of other witches, and was then completely destroyed by the Witch Cult.”

Chapter 133 Study

“Is that so? That’s a good way to lure the Witch Cult,” Hashirama nodded, while Crusch’s expression changed. “Lord White Dragon wouldn’t be using the capital as bait, would he?!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t use this place as bait,” Hashirama shook his head. “However, I can manipulate the concept a little, making everyone in the world think that the other witches’ memorial halls are in another place, and then wipe out the witch cult members who have been lured here in one fell swoop.”

“Is that so?” Crusch nodded. “Then I can gather our forces and go deal with the Witch Cult.”

"Gathering combat power? Are there many experts here? Ordinary people are useless," Hashirama looked at her strangely. "To be honest, I was thinking of having a few super combatants operating there, at least Wilhelm's level, and then I would revive everyone from behind."

“Resurrection? But there are no more than ten Sword Demon level experts in the entire kingdom,” Crusch shook his head, “I’m afraid it will be difficult to gather enough manpower.”

"Well, it's alright. No matter how many grunts there are, it won't make a difference," Hashirama waved his hand. "I was originally planning to take action by myself, since having someone who shares damage is too dangerous."

“Grunts, huh?” Crusch paused for a moment. In Hashirama’s eyes, she was just one of the grunts. Hashirama smiled. “But I know resurrection magic, so they are also worth coming along.”

“I see, I understand. I’ll leave everything to Lord White Dragon,” Crusch shook her head, then sighed. “I didn’t want to rely on the dragon’s power, but this is reality.”

"Haha," Hashirama chuckled, "Just treat me as an extremely expensive mercenary, and you won't have any reservations, right?"

“Lord White Dragon is quite humorous,” Crusch chuckled. “However, the entire kingdom probably couldn’t afford the cost of destroying the Witch Cult.”

"That's not necessarily true," Hashirama chuckled and shook his head. There are valuable items here, whether they are magical knowledge and tools, or knowledge, culture and customs, all of which are worth absorbing.

Although Hashirama offered his desired price, Crusch is currently unable to make a decision and can only wait until the royal family is resurrected before discussing it with the Council of Sages.

Afterwards, the group chatted for a while, and Hashirama told them some random stories about Riveria. After hearing that there were many gods in the other world, they could only sigh, as it was difficult to even see a single god here.

The tea party then ended, and Crusch left with Emilia. Subaru Natsuki wanted to follow, but Crusch stopped him because they were going to the royal cemetery.

When Natsuki Subaru saw that neither of them agreed to let him go, he had no choice but to give up. He then ran out, saying he was going to buy apples. Seeing his habitual recklessness, Hashirama sent Wilhelm to protect him in secret.

Hashirama was led by Rem to a resting room, which was, how should I put it, classically luxurious. Hashirama looked around, while Rem watched him shyly from the side. After a while, she finally expressed that she wanted to 'learn'.

After a moment of silence, Hashirama set up the computer for Rem to study on, while he patiently guided her. However, their learning methods were somewhat flawed. After showing her some electronics, Hashirama found some anime for her to watch, suggesting she learn from the maids in them, since the maids in real-life works weren't quite as alluring.

While she was watching anime, Hashirama suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked out the window and saw Liliana hiding below, calling out Hashirama's name through telepathy, which is how he came to know her.

"Rem, you learn first, I'll go out and take a look," Hashirama said casually. Rem nodded and watched the anime intently. "Hmm, so this is what a maid is like."

Hashirama shook his head and teleported behind Liliana. "What are you doing?"
