Offer blocks to the end times

Hashirama then spoke with Eris, who was delighted to hear that a large number of people were going there, as her world was in dire need of manpower for development.

Of course, Hashirama also received a kickback—half of the Hexin Merchant Guild's assets. However, she also needed to transport more people and supplies. She planned to use this time to collect local specialties and then go to that world for their first transaction.

Hashirama also gave the two of them a communicator so they could find him at any time. He also helped Al with his injuries and arm repairs, but he never took off the helmet.

Watching the two groups leave, Hashirama looked at Emilia and Subaru Natsuki, "What are you planning to do next?"

“Hoo,” Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath, then looked at Emilia, “Hashirama, take Emilia with you too. This world is not suitable for her.”

"Subaru, what are you talking about?" Emilia didn't quite understand. Hashirama nodded. "Okay, but you just..."

"Hahaha, I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle that. I'll need you to come pick me up then," Natsuki Subaru forced a laugh, then looked at Hashirama. "But I'm really counting on you for Emilia. But you can't lay a hand on her, or anyone else! I'll catch up with you as soon as I've dealt with things here!"

"Yes, yes, I understand," Hashirama nodded helplessly, while Emilia shouted from the side, "What are you talking about? Leaving this world or something? I didn't agree to that!"

"That's right, where are you two going to take your lovely daughter?" Parker floated out of Emilia's hair, glaring angrily at the two of them. "If Emilia isn't here, I'll destroy this world!"

“Puck!” Natsuki Subaru shouted excitedly, then shook his head excitedly, “No, it’s just that this world is too malicious towards Emilia-tan. I think she deserves a better life, and Puck can go with her!”

“That makes sense,” Puck seemed to be swayed by Subaru’s persuasion. He looked at Emilia and said, “Eria, let’s break the contract for now. Once my original body has severed its connection with this world, I will come and go with you.”

"No, I don't want Parker to leave."

"I," Emilia said, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were about to cry. She seemed to have Parker as her most important support.

"Haha, my daughter really can't live without me," Parker said happily, but also a little embarrassed. "Lia, it's okay, I'll be there soon."

But Emilia was still shaking her head, and Subaru Natsuki stepped forward to persuade her. Hashirama watched from the side, thinking, "This is a free service, I hope the other two get a generous reward."

While they were talking, the palace began to bustle with activity. It seemed that the king was preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate, and many people were busy preparing. Of course, Hashirama and his group were also invited.

Similarly, they also gave Emilia an invitation, which should be given to all five royal electors. It also stated that she could bring two companions. Of course, the invitation for Hashirama did not have this restriction. However, it was only then that Hashirama realized that Liliana seemed to be missing.

"Hmm," Hashirama paused for a moment, then immediately began to sense Liliana's location. He discovered that she had been placed in a small palace, surrounded by many people who were fawning over her. However, Liliana was quite stiff.

Hashirama listened for a while and then realized that those people were royal bards. Because of the disappearance of the royal family, they had been having a hard time lately. Now that the royal family had been resurrected, they had become smug again and were discussing with Liliana, the 'dragon's bard, about writing a song praising dragons.

Ignoring the nonsense of those people, Hashirama looked at the three who were still discussing it. Emilia had already agreed, but she was still worried about leaving Subaru Natsuki alone here.

“It’s alright, there’s always a way, Emilia Tan, just wait for me there,” Natsuki Subaru said with a thumbs-up, but he had no confidence in leaving the area.

Next, everyone prepared to go back, since it was still early for the banquet and Rem and the others were still waiting there.

After gathering his men, Hashirama greeted Crusch and prepared to return. The king there was surprised to hear that Hashirama was leaving, but he was relieved when he learned that he was going to a temporary residence in the capital.

He sent Crusch to accompany him back. In addition to Felix, the king also hoped that a prince would accompany him. After thinking for a moment, Hashirama chose the fourth prince, Frieza.

As for Reinhard, he decided to protect Felt for the time being, and then follow Hashirama when he left. Hashirama thought about it and agreed, telling him to handle things here.

Unlike when they arrived, when they left, there was an extra person named Frieza in Hashirama's car. He seemed unsure how to start a conversation with Hashirama, while the two people next to him were just staring blankly.

Hashirama looked at him with amazement. After all, it's normal to fall for a strong-willed girl, but it's quite difficult to be liked by a cross-dressing man.

"You're Frieza, right?" Hashirama asked from the side. The other hurriedly nodded. "Yes, I'm Frieza Lugnica. Greetings, Lord White Dragon."

"Yes, just call me Hashirama," Hashirama said casually. The other person took a deep breath and calmed down. "Thank you, Lord Hashirama, for reviving me and allowing me to reunite with Crusch and Ferris."

"Don't worry too much about it; someone paid the price," Hashirama said casually, then looked at the prince opposite him. "Do you think the alliance between the kingdom and the dragon was right or wrong?"

“This,” Freya seemed to sense some pressure, then gritted his teeth and said, “I think it’s incorrect. It’s true that dragons are more powerful than lions, and all the kingdom’s crises can be avoided under the protection of dragons, but over-reliance on the alliance and dragons will make the country too fragile to survive independently.”

“Hmm, that’s right. We can’t rely on others for everything,” Hashirama clapped lightly. “To be honest, seeing the extinction of your royal family, the alliance between the dragon and the royal family might have already disappeared.”

"Really?" Frieza asked excitedly after a moment of stunned silence, but then he calmed down when he saw Hashirama. "Does Lord White Dragon wish to sign a new alliance with the kingdom?"

Chapter 740 Troublesome Matters

“No, I won’t,” Hashirama shook his head. “This world isn’t mine, and I have no interest in the kingdoms here. But other people probably don’t think that way. With this resurrection, the worship of dragons has become even more profound.”

Hashirama can now see the lines of faith connecting to him. Originally, he was afraid that these lines would turn him into a god of faith, but with the knowledge he has gained through various methods, Hashirama can now transmit the power of faith into the dream world, making it more colorful.

"Is that so? Does that mean our resurrection was a mistake?" Frieza stood there, stunned. Hashirama shook his head helplessly. "No, it wasn't a mistake. Do you know about the King's Selection?"

"Those five Dragon Maidens, Father was furious when he found out," Frieza said with a wry smile. "Even when something serious happened before, I've never seen him this angry."

"No wonder," Hashirama nodded to himself. It seemed that Priscilla and Anastasia had enough people in the palace. "Well, I can understand his feelings. By the way, if you had to choose someone to serve from those five, who would you choose?"

“Loyalty?” A pale green figure floated before Frieza’s eyes. “I still hope to be the king she desires, rather than forcing her to take the stage herself. Of course, if I were just an ordinary knight, I would choose…”

Select the treasury for repair.

“Cursh, she certainly has the most regal bearing,” Hashirama thought for a moment and nodded. But that’s about it for now. She still lacks a bit of opportunity. However, among the five former kings, she should be the safest, after all, she is also a duke, the highest-ranking noble in the kingdom.

"Does Lord White Dragon think so too? That's wonderful," Frie said happily. Hashirama shook his head. "However, with the return of the royal family, she will never have another chance."

“Is that so?” Frieza fell silent for a moment. Hashirama glanced at Subaru Natsuki, who looked completely absorbed, and thought to himself, “Besides, even if the royal family doesn’t return, she might not necessarily ascend the throne.”

The four of them remained silent and soon arrived at Crusch's castle. When Hashirama saw Felix getting out of another car, he realized that Felix was a man!

Hashirama still had a strong desire to collect this rare item, but he didn't want to force himself to get it. Besides, its gender was a big problem; he always unconsciously thought of it as a cat-eared girl.

On the grass outside the castle, Beatrice was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, while Rem stood behind her. Surprisingly, neither of them was playing on the computer. When Rem saw Hashirama return, she came over to greet him.

Hashirama told them about what happened that day. Rem was very surprised by the changes after her resurrection, because when she resurrected the demons, nothing appeared.

Beatrice remained calm. "It's a pity I didn't see the resurrection. But resurrection magic isn't within the scope of Yin magic. However, the hole in the sky is quite interesting. What's in that world?"

“That’s a subsidiary world of this world,” Hashirama said, directly transmitting his observations of that world to Beatrice. Beatrice rubbed her head. “So that’s how it is. So that place really does exist. But where did the black snake go?”

“Well, I do have an idea,” Hashirama pondered the question, “It’s very likely that the black serpent’s ability to corrupt was the reason it wasn’t used.”

“Hmm, that’s one reason,” Beatrice nodded. After all, if the black snake touches the source of magic over there, the entire source of magic will be corrupted!

“Hey, Betty,” Parker flew over from the side, with no one else following him. Beatrice excitedly hugged Parker and rubbed against him. “Wow, brother’s fur is so smooth, Betty loves it the most.”

"Hahaha, it tickles!" Puck teased her for a while before flying up, his expression turning serious. "Hashirama, I have something I'd like you to help me with."

"About Emilia?" Hashirama thought for a moment and understood. Puck nodded and then said worriedly, "After the contract was broken, Emilia might be affected and her mind might become unstable."

"Mental state?" Hashirama seemed to have done something similar. Puck nodded. "Back then, something happened that greatly affected Ria, so I used the contract to seal that part of her memory. But after I unsealed it, I was afraid Ria wouldn't be able to handle the shock."

"Break the contract? Does that mean brother is going with her too?" Beatrice asked in surprise. Puck nodded. "Of course, if Lydia goes, I'll definitely go with her."

“Hmm, I’ve got a solution,” Hashirama said, looking up. “One is to seal her memories again, but that would only buy time. The other is to use the power of the holy sword Labyrinth to let her face her past memories directly and overcome them.”

"The Holy Sword Lapiden Hibiscus?" Parker asked疑惑地, "What's its purpose?"

"Yes, this is a sword that maintains the best state of mind and body. Holding it can help you maintain a clear will," Hashirama explained the function of the holy sword.

“Is that so? I’ll have to think about it,” Parker paused for a moment, then flew away.

After a while, Subaru Natsuki ran over with a bitter face. He looked at Beatrice and Rem to the side, then waved to Hashirama, "Hashirama, let's go over there and talk about 'that matter'."

"Hmph, all this secrecy is infuriating," Beatrice said unhappily, while Rem was very understanding. "They probably have some kind of secret they're hiding."

"You two," Hashirama shook his head speechlessly, "I'm going to discuss something important with him. I'll talk to you later."

Hashirama and Subaru huddled together. After observing their surroundings and finding no one around, they felt relieved. Hashirama then set up several layers of the World Wall on one side to prevent any accidents.

"Hashirama, is there any way to resolve my situation?" Natsuki Subaru asked anxiously. Hashirama pondered for a moment. Natsuki Subaru's ability had always been a problem that Hashirama had been researching. He discovered that the origin of this ability came from the Witch of Envy. Natsuki Subaru's death was just the switch, and the time of rewinding wouldn't be too long, probably due to the limitation of the power.

However, it is still difficult for him to leave this world with Emilia. Although Natsuki Subaru is now protected by Hashirama, the Witch of Envy has long been targeting him. The complex connection between them is something that even Hashirama cannot untangle. Of course, Natsuki Subaru does not want to be protected in a sealed manner and never see outsiders again.

“There’s only one thing I can think of: defeat the Witch of Envy,” Hashirama said, gesturing with his hand. Natsuki Subaru’s face fell. “That won’t be easy.”

Chapter 741 Casual Chat

"It's possible, as long as you rely on your reincarnation ability," Hashirama shook his head slightly, not...

Subaru's expression turned even more grim. "Death? It's too painful."

"Is it painful?" Hashirama looked Natsuki Subaru up and down. "I have a good idea. I'll modify your body so you can freely adjust your pain sensation."

"Can this be done too?" Natsuki Subaru was very surprised. Hashirama nodded. This was the most basic knowledge for modified soldiers. However, usually it was to eliminate their sense of pain. Hashirama had slightly modified their nerves so that he could control the degree to which they could receive pain.

"This feels a bit like a game," Natsuki Subaru complained with a wry smile, then shook his head. "Let's forget about it. It feels like cheating."

"Is that so? Whatever," Hashirama shook his head, since he wasn't the one in pain. "But it would be great if I could finish the game in one life."

"I hope so," Natsuki Subaru said with a wry smile, clutching his heart. Hashirama released the surrounding barrier. "Now let's enjoy this world."

“That makes sense,” Natsuki Subaru stood up and stretched. “Anyway, let’s look forward, there will be a way.”

The two walked side by side and then started talking about the dinner party. "I wonder what kind of lavish feast they'll be preparing here?"

"Well, who knows?" Hashirama shook his head. "I didn't have much hope."

“Hmm, maybe the royal banquet will be surprisingly delicious,” Natsuki Subaru said casually, his hands behind his back. Hashirama shook his head. “No way. Putting aside the ingredients, just the fact that we know what the banquet will be like in such a short time.”

“That’s true, but this is my first time attending a banquet, so I absolutely can’t be impolite,” Natsuki Subaru said with a grin.

"I hope so, but I'm not very good at etiquette either," Hashirama nodded and then shook his head. He had only attended one large banquet, and that was when he was stealing food with Hestia.

The two novices at the banquet looked at each other and then sighed and shook their heads, but they didn't really care.

After chatting for a while, the two parted ways. Subaru went to find Emilia, while Hashirama sat next to Beatrice eating snacks to pass the time. Rem stood to the side, and Hashirama was a little curious as to why they weren't playing on the computer.

I asked them and found out that they had also realized they were too addicted to computers and were now 'reflecting' on it, preparing to restrain their desires and only play for eight hours a day.

Hashirama was speechless. Was this what they called restraint? It was more like work time, and they both looked like they were really struggling to hold back.

"By the way, what were you talking about with him just now?" Beatrice changed the subject to divert attention. Hashirama nodded. "Well, it was about the witch and his body."

“A witch?” Beatrice shook her head. “He does have the scent of a witch on him. Where did he get that from?”

"The scent of a witch?" Hashirama asked in confusion, looking at Rem beside him. "By the way, Rem, you said the same thing, didn't you? What exactly is that?"

“Hmm,” Rem suddenly came to her senses and answered after hearing Hashirama’s words, “It’s a kind of smell, you can smell it.”

"?" Hashirama didn't quite understand, but Beatrice explained, "It's an aura, a unique aura of the Witch Cult, but very few people can sense it."

"A specific pheromone? Or some kind of faith power?" Hashirama shook his head and guessed. Although he could see various emotions, he couldn't detect any of the 'scent' the two were talking about. However, "The Witch Cult, huh? What was its purpose in being founded?"

“Well, who knows?” Beatrice shook her head and said calmly, while Rem’s voice turned cold. “Those are just a group of fools who create chaos. Nobody knows their purpose, but they are definitely the enemy.”

"Is that so?" Hashirama said, but in his heart he began to speculate. The Witch Cult must be under the Witch's command, but he didn't know whose command it was. He was troubled by these complicated questions. If only he had Riku's wisdom, but Hashirama had no intention of dragging other people into this world.

However, Hashirama had a better method. He directly began to divine information about the Witch Cult and learned about several Archbishops of Sin. Hashirama was able to find out what they had done in the past.

They've committed many atrocities, often carrying out massacres of villages without provocation. The most active among them is 'Sloth' Petelgeus—is that a misnomer, really? And the resurrected Great Rabbit was also one of their doings.

He then took out a crystal disc and began to divine their location. However, the red dot on it was moving slowly. Hashirama observed that their convergence point was the royal capital. "Hmm? Are they moving towards the royal capital?"

"What?" Beatrice asked curiously. Hashirama pointed to the crystal plate and explained to her, "I just discovered that the Witch Cult might attack the capital."

"Really?" Rem asked excitedly. Hashirama nodded. "Yes, that's the outcome of the prophecy. Should we try to stop them beforehand?"

"Of course I'm going!" Rem said excitedly. "I'm going to wipe out all those witch cult members!"
