Offer blocks to the end times

"Whoa!" Liliana jumped up. "Don't kill me! I'm not a civilian who trespassed; I came with my master!"

"Uh," Hashirama was speechless for a moment. Liliana looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Hashirama. "Thank goodness, everyone is gone. I was a little scared. This is the Duke's castle. If I wasn't careful, I would definitely be beheaded."

"..." Hashirama wanted to say something, but Liliana's words were the truth. He sighed, "Well, it seems I need to improve your abilities too, so you won't be afraid everywhere."

Carrying Liliana, Hashirama returned to the room. Rem was still 'studying' on one side, while Hashirama and Liliana sat together, exchanging knowledge through telepathy.

Hashirama taught them the magic of the Mind Master, which generally requires magicians to strengthen their spirit so they can read the other person's information before they can communicate with them.

However, Liliana can be considered a genius of this magic system. She was born with the ability to transmit her consciousness and thoughts, and could even control people's emotions through her singing. It was there that Hashirama began teaching her.

Although their mental communication only lasted a few minutes, they exchanged many things. Hashirama gave her several magical artifacts to provide magical power, and Liliana began to focus all her efforts on training in magic. However, Hashirama discovered that she initially trained two skills: 'Dazzling,' which draws everyone's attention to her; and 'Ignore,' which makes people not notice her.

Seeing the timid songstress's choice, Hashirama ignored her and continued to instruct Rei.

He was studying with Rem and relaxing by watching anime, but then he remembered Beatrice in the secret room, so he dragged her out and made her study with Rem.

However, she then chased Hashirama out, saying that this was a holy place for girls. Shaking his head speechlessly, Hashirama left the house and looked at Crusch's castle from outside. The buildings here were very classical and luxurious, and there were many convenient magical items. The infrastructure was no worse than that of a modern apartment.

However, Hashirama didn't see any familiar faces after wandering around. The maids and guards along the roadside were very polite, bowing to him as soon as they saw him.

Shaking his head, Hashirama went out for a walk. He wandered around, looking at the people around him with different animal heads on their heads. Although there seemed to be no problem on the surface, Hashirama could still detect some barriers. It seemed that the relationship between the two sides was not as harmonious as Hashirama thought.

However, this is the normal situation. Hashirama wandered around for a while, but was disappointed to find that the food here was really mediocre. Although there was magic, it was not used for this purpose. It was the worst of all the worlds that Senju had experienced.

This diminished Hashirama's interest considerably. Although he could go without eating, there was no harm in experiencing it, but unfortunately, he didn't see any food that appealed to him.

Chapter 734 Gathering at the Royal Palace

Of course, there is one thing about this place that other worlds can't compare to: the surroundings are very peaceful, and there are no thugs or similar creatures. Hashirama walked through the alleys and didn't see any people like that either.

However, Hashirama may have forgotten about Felt, and he may have forgotten that he himself was a formidable figure clad in armor. What he didn't know was that those who were 'potentially criminals' were driven to the slums and left to fend for themselves.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, Hashirama bought a bunch of maps and books about the area and returned to Crusch's mansion. While he was slowly reading, Subaru Natsuki also returned, carrying a bag of bright red apples, and casually tossed one to Hashirama.

"Hey, Hashirama, can you read these words?" Natsuki Subaru asked curiously, looking at the book in Hashirama's hand. Hashirama glanced at him curiously. "You can read them too, right? After all, you should be able to communicate normally with them."

“No, no,” Natsuki Subaru shook his head repeatedly. “Although I call this ability the ‘World Translator,’ it can only be used for conversational communication; it can’t handle written communication.”

"Is that so?" Hashirama Shano was surprised, then searched in his ring for a while, took out a charm and handed it to him, "This will do. It will allow you to learn the script used by many people."

"There are such convenient things?" Natsuki Subaru curiously picked it up and hung it on his body, then picked up a book and started reading. "Really? I can even understand it. It's such a convenient gadget."

He read for a while and then waited anxiously for Emilia. Hashirama ignored him. Wilhelm also returned, but seeing Natsuki Subaru there, he didn't report Natsuki Subaru's itinerary to Hashirama.

Natsuki Subaru was fidgeting restlessly. Hashirama frowned slightly. Putting aside William, even compared to Bell and Sato Kazuma, Natsuki Subaru was far inferior in terms of mental strength. He didn't have Bell's efforts, nor Sato Kazuma's intelligence and luck. He was only relying on his ability to start over, and he was already somewhat unable to recognize his own identity.

Crusch and Emilia had already said they were going to the royal tombs, but he looked extremely worried, as if something would happen to Emilia if he wasn't there.

Although Hashirama understood that Subaru Natsuki liked Emilia, he was still too arrogant, as if nothing could succeed without him.

Hashirama originally wanted him to experience a different life in his dream, but then he thought better of it; Hashirama was too lazy to enter a man's dream.

Seeing his restless state, Hashirama suggested that he go practice magic on the side. Natsuki Subaru thought for a moment and then asked, "By the way, Hashirama, since you know the Substitution Jutsu, you must also know the Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and other ninjutsu, right? Can you teach me?"

"Hmm," Hashirama thought for a moment, then took out a slip of paper and handed it to him. It contained the training methods for the Shadow Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique. "Study it yourself."

“Okay, leave it to me,” Natsuki Subaru said, taking the note and running off to practice. Wilhelm then came over to report on Natsuki Subaru’s activities in the city.

He first went to a fruit stand and bought a bunch of apples. Then he encountered three thugs blocking his way in an alley, but Wilhelm secretly dealt with them. On the way, he also chatted with a strangely dressed one-armed man for a while and even went to the slums.

Aside from that, nothing else particularly noteworthy happened. Hashirama nodded, instructing him to secretly protect Subaru Natsuki, and also gave him the magical water bottle, which would be useful for making various emergency potions with different effects.

Crusch and Emilia returned at dusk, and Hashirama learned that the royal corpses had been transported out and were being sorted in a palace in the royal palace, awaiting Hashirama's resurrection the next day.

Crusch then treated everyone to a good meal. However, during the banquet, Crusch asked about Hashirama's attire for the next day, since his silver-white armor looked a bit odd.

Hashirama didn't pay much attention, but asked Crusch to help with the preparations. He could transform his armor later. He also asked her to prepare an outfit for Liliana, as she would be coming along.

After dinner, everyone went back to rest, but after Hashirama returned to his room, he saw...

Beatrice was still happily playing there, engrossed in reading a light novel.

After a while, Rem also pushed the door open and came in. She said she was going to 'study hard', but Hashirama felt that she was a bit addicted to the internet, so Hashirama 'guided her studies' from the side.

It wasn't until midnight that Beatrice stretched and said, "Finally finished watching. Betty needs to get some rest."

After she finished speaking, she greeted Hashirama, then took her laptop and went back to her little apartment. Hashirama glanced at the page and found that she was reading "The Reincarnated Silver Wolf".

Rem stayed awake a little longer than Beatrice, then started dozing off. Hashirama hypnotized her and put her on the bed, then started playing on the computer.

However, when he opened a chat app, he found that it was logged into Riveria's account, named 'Nine Demon Princess'. The chat was flashing, and Hashirama clicked to look at the chat history. He found that she was discussing time travel with people from abroad, but they were talking about ideas about time machines. Hashirama glanced at it and closed the app.

He then browsed other information, and before he knew it, it was already dawn, and the servants were already tidying up everything in the castle.

Hashirama nodded as he looked at the scene. This was the proper way for a noble castle to be built, with both maids and guards. A castle like Roswaal's with only two maids was actually abnormal.

Rem, who was standing to the side, also woke up. Looking at Hashirama standing there, she felt very shy and hurriedly ran out, which made the maid who came in to deliver clothes look at her with surprise.

After breakfast, everyone put on their formal attire and prepared to go to the palace to discuss the ceremony. Although Emilia left Subaru Natsuki here first, Hashirama was not comfortable leaving him outside. In addition to him, there were Liliana, Wilhelm, and Theresa, while Beatrice and Rem stayed in the castle.

The group rode in a dragon carriage toward the palace, which looked extremely luxurious, with gold everywhere and dragon-shaped symbols all around.

However, in front of the palace, the group split into three groups: Crusch and Felix; Emilia and Subaru; and Hashirama and the rest.

After the guard pushed open the door, three groups of people went inside. Inside were knights dressed in white and officials dressed in purple. They split into two groups and were discussing matters.

At the very front was an empty throne, with two rows of empty seats on either side. No one was there yet, so it seemed the meeting hadn't started. Then, two young girls led people into the palace.

Chapter 735 Struggle

Subaru Natsuki stayed with Emilia, while Wilhelm and Theresa went to the Knights' side. However, the two caused a sensation when they arrived, because Reinhard, who was there, bowed to them.

Liliana followed closely behind Hashirama, but judging from her trembling fingers, she was incredibly nervous. Hashirama patted her head. "Alright, calm down, Tranquil!"

With Hashirama's spell, Liliana returned to normal. She also used magic to make everyone ignore her, but this only attracted the attention of several highly skilled knights nearby. So she gave up the magic and obediently stood behind Hashirama.

After a while, the meeting seemed to be about to begin. Both groups lined up neatly, and the elders of the Sages' Society began to take their seats. Hashirama stood there silently watching, and then one of the elders invited Hashirama to sit on the throne in the very center.

Hashirama shook his head. "No need, I have my own seat!"

After saying that, he summoned a white chair in front of the throne and sat leisurely in the middle. When the people around saw Hashirama's actions, they all started to talk about it.

When the members of the Sages' Guild saw Hashirama sit down, they all stood up and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Lord White Dragon!"

“Alright, let’s begin!” Hashirama nodded, with Liliana standing behind him and Max, who was in charge, nodding in front. “Now, please, all of you chosen ones, come forward.”

There were already four girls standing in front of the stage. Hashirama looked at them and saw that although their clothes were different colors, they were all very pretty girls. However, Hashirama felt that one person was missing.

Hashirama turned to look at Reinhard, "Felte didn't come? Today's events are also related to her."

When Hashirama was bored, he did some divination about the Lugnica royal family. It was said that the family had been wiped out, but he found that the royal family was not all dead. The most prominent one was Felt. According to the divination, she seemed to be the king's niece or something similar.

“Yes, Lord White Dragon, Miss Felt is already waiting outside,” Reinhard stepped forward and bowed, then looked at the bewildered crowd around him. “Although it’s not the topic of today, I have found the fifth Dragon Maiden!”

As he spoke, the palace doors opened, and Felt, dressed in formal attire, walked in, followed by two young maids. Judging from her quiet demeanor, Hashirama found it hard to believe that she was a petty thief from the streets.

"This is Miss Felt!" Reinhard introduced her, and the surrounding people began to murmur. Felt took a few steps and then reverted to her true nature, pointing at Hashirama on the stage, "Ah! You're that human trafficker!"

"Hehehe, as expected of the last remaining member of the royal family," Hashirama chuckled softly, waving at Felt. "How have you been these past few days? Are you happy? You'll soon be a princess."

"Lord White Dragon, what are you talking about?" asked the elder from the Sages' Guild. Hashirama nodded. "Felt is the only remaining member of the royal family I've found, and she's very likely the king's niece. I just don't know how she ended up in the outside world."

"Niece? Could she be the one who was kidnapped?" The crowd below began to murmur amongst themselves. Felt glared angrily at Hashirama, but a girl in a blood-red dress spoke up from the front of the stage, "Who is this gentleman? Why is he sitting so grandly up there?"

"Hmm? Jibril, huh?" Hashirama frowned as he looked at her. She was wearing a blood-red dress and looked quite proud. However, what caught Hashirama's attention was that her voice and tone were similar to Jibril's.

However, she was not just a pretty face; she possessed Yang magic power comparable to Crusch's, which made Hashirama, who had initially looked down on 'Crimson Bride' Priscilla, take notice.

“This sir is truly a white dragon, a true dragon that has descended upon our kingdom,” one of the members of the Sages explained. Priscilla, the girl in the blood-red dress, and Anastasia, the girl in the furry clothes, exclaimed in surprise, “A dragon?!”

"It's a dragon?!" The people below were also stirred. It seemed that Hashirama's message hadn't reached many people.

“Dragons, huh? How interesting,” Felt smiled somewhat menacingly, but after being reassured by Reinhard, she stood with the other girls.

"According to the prophecy on the Dragon Stone, Lord White Dragon represents the will of the dragon god and is fully responsible for the affairs of the Kingdom of Lugnica," Max announced loudly.

"I wonder what advice Lord White Dragon has for us? Is it to directly select someone from the royal selection to be the king?" Anastasia stepped forward and asked, though her tone was somewhat strange.

“No, I only resurrected the royal family,” Hashirama said, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at her. “As for what happens after that, that’s your business.”

“I think Lord White Dragon doesn’t need to revive the royal family, he can just make me king,” Priscilla said, stepping forward. Hashirama looked at her and shook his head. “Your tone and manner are really like Jibril’s.”

“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying, Lord White Dragon. My name is Priscilla, and I will eventually become the king,” Priscilla said, waving her blood-red velvet fan.

“No need to understand,” Hashirama shook his head, “and I never intended to ask for your opinion.”

"Strange, are you some kind of god?" Just as Priscilla below was about to explode, a one-armed man wearing an iron helmet shouted from below. Hashirama glanced at him. "Yes, Mr. Al from Japan. Shall I take you back?"

"Huh?!" Natsuki Subaru jumped up in surprise. "You too?!"

“Not bad, fellow countryman, but as you can see, I’ve become like this now, ahaha,” he said, though it sounded like he was lamenting his fate, his tone was cheerful, and then he looked at Hashirama, “Thank you very much, but I have no reason to go back, thank you, Lord Haku.”

“Whatever,” Hashirama shook his head, while Priscilla fell into an eerie silence. At this moment, another king, Anastasia, spoke up, “Although Lord White Dragon has mentioned resurrection, has anyone actually seen it? It’s not the kind of magic that manipulates corpses that appeared during the Demi-human Wars, is it?”

“Hmm, that is a problem,” Hashirama shook his head, looking at the people below. Theresa and Wilhelm stepped forward, and she introduced herself, “I am the previous Sword Saint Theresa van Astrea. Thanks to the White Dragon Lord’s grace, I have now been fully resurrected.”

“Indeed, I, Wilhelm van Astrea, the Sword Demon, can also testify,” Wilhelm stepped forward to state his position, but the younger people below began to whisper among themselves, “Who are they?”

Chapter 736 Resurrection Ceremony

"Idiot, that's the protagonist of Sword Demon Love Song! If it were true, it would cause a huge sensation!"

However, some older people recognized the two, exclaiming, "It really is the former Sword Saint, Lady Lacia van Astrea!"

"And the Sword Demon Wilhelm has also regained his youth! Could it be that what that Dragon God said was true? Our country is saved!"

“This is still hard to believe,” Anastasia shook her head. “But I heard that Felix, the ‘Blue’ Knight under Lord Crusch, is very knowledgeable about this. Let him take a good look at it.”

“No problem, meow. Felix has already checked it,” Felix said cutely from the side. Hashirama shook his head. “Alright, now that everything is clear, let’s proceed with the resurrection ritual. We’ve dragged this out long enough.”

"I have something to say!" Felt shouted, raising her hand. "If you're going to resurrect royalty, what are you doing here? Let me go back now!"

"Heh heh," Hashirama chuckled smugly, then stopped. "I don't know either! It's probably just funny."

"Bang!" Ferut, who was about to yell, suddenly fell to the ground. "What is this?!"

"You'll find out then, let's not talk about this now," Hashirama waved his hand, looking at Reinhard who was smiling to the side, "You won't go back on your promise, will you?"

"Please rest assured, Lord White Dragon, the knight will never break the contract," Reinhard said with a smile and a bow, while Hashirama...

She gave him a suspicious look. "Is that so? But if you want to go back on your word, I can take back my promise."

"Let's start the ceremony quickly," Crusch shouted. "We can talk about other things after the royal family is resurrected!"

“I still can’t believe it,” Anastasia shook her head. “Since Lord White Dragon is so powerful, could you prove it to us?”

"Sigh," Hashirama glanced at her speechlessly. It was the same old routine, but Hashirama's choice was different. "Why should I give you proof? Will you give me money?"
