Offer blocks to the end times

After gazing at the scenery for a while, everyone gradually calmed down. Some people, like Subaru Natsuki and Emilia, admired the view from the window; others carefully sensed the magical fluctuations around them, like the group of magicians; and a few sat calmly at the table, like Anastasia and Crusch.

"The performance seems very stable," Anastasia nodded calmly, looking at her wine glass. Hashirama couldn't help but think, "Is this guy showing off in front of me?" So Hashirama started talking, "This is actually the smallest one. The larger airships can carry thousands of people at a time!"

"Oh, could you explain in detail, Lord White Dragon?" Crusch became very interested, so Hashirama demonstrated it to them using illusions. Of course, in addition to the 'whale-class' airship that was several hundred meters long, Hashirama also took out an illusion of a goblin-type airship, which was several thousand meters long, although Senju didn't have a physical one.

Watching Hashirama ramble on (bragging), Anastasia's eyes lit up. "Lord White Dragon, how much does this largest airship you mentioned cost?"

“Unfortunately, that’s not for sale,” Hashirama shook his head and said seriously, “Besides, I don’t think you have the ability to buy such an airship.”

“That makes sense,” Anastasia thought for a moment and then shook her head. Her merchant guild’s funds were indeed insufficient for such a behemoth.

Crusch, on the other hand, became interested in the mid-sized airship, which was already large enough for her. "Lord White Dragon, what is the value of this? I wonder if a hundred earth dragons and high-purity magic crystals equal in weight to the airship would be enough?"

"Well," Hashirama shook his head slightly. Neither side knew whether the price offered by the other party was reasonable. After thinking for a moment, Hashirama said, "Let's talk about it after you've seen that airship."

As Hashirama spoke, he made the airship hover. He then crossed space and came outside to see the magicians circling there. After flying a little distance away, he took out a large airship. Although it started to fall as soon as he took it out, Hashirama used levitation magic to support it and then started the airship.

The people in the small airship were startled, because they saw a huge black ship, several hundred meters long, suddenly appear beside them. "This is a bit too big, isn't it!"

Then Hashirama piloted the small airship to land on the platform above. Everyone stopped there, feeling the strong wind on the platform and looking at the surrounding clouds. Everyone was watching with curiosity, especially Felt, who, relying on the wind's protection, was not afraid of the gale. She ran to the side to watch and then shouted excitedly.

Rom and Reinhard were more worried. Hashirama thought for a moment and, mimicking the magical structure of the earth dragon, set up a windproof barrier on the deck. Only then did the others feel at ease and look at the surrounding scenery.

Hashirama stood at the bow of the ship, looking relaxed, with Rem standing behind him. The airship flew through the clouds, but after a while, Hashirama noticed something was wrong ahead. A small grove of trees had appeared in the sky!

"Huh?!" Hashirama looked more closely and saw that it was actually a huge tree that had grown to four or five hundred meters tall. "Wow, it's so tall! There are trees that tall."

“Yes, this should be the Flügel Tree on Rifaus Avenue, the tallest and most famous tree in the world,” Rem explained excitedly, while Subaru Natsuki exclaimed in amazement, “It’s so big! How did such a big tree grow?”

“I heard it was planted by Friger, a tree planter from hundreds of years ago,” Emilia explained excitedly, while Hashirama frowned slightly. “Fruger, why did he leave this tree behind?”

After all, Friguel kept everything else well hidden, but he left this tree as the only thing that was known to the public.

There must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Just as Hashirama was deep in thought, Anastasia approached with Julius. "Lord White Dragon, may I rent one temporarily? Many of our members' families are still in other places, and it's troublesome to transport them by dragon carriage. With this, we can bring everyone over at once."

"Mimi wants a flying ship like that too, it's so cool!" A short cat-eared girl (?) next to Anastasia said lively. She looked orange with blue eyes and was waving a staff in her hand. She looked very excited and was probably a magician.

“Such an aircraft is extremely expensive,” Natsuki Subaru said proudly, holding up his finger. “In my experience, such a huge aircraft would cost at least a billion dollars!”

"That's totally made up," Hashirama thought to himself, while Anastasia looked at Subaru with a smile. "Wow, you're amazing. You know so much about aircraft. What are you talking about, US dollars?"

Chapter 754 Unreliable Deal

"Tch!" But Natsuki Subaru was too busy glaring at Julius beside her. Anastasia glanced at the short orc next to her and immediately grabbed Natsuki Subaru's clothes. "Hey, little brother, can you tell me what you mean by 'dollars'?"

"Oh, how cute!" Natsuki Subaru greeted Mimi with a smile, then explained briefly, "That's money from another world; we don't have that here."

“Is that so?” Anastasia spoke up from the side, “Then, young man, do you know how to convert it into the local currency?”

"Ahem," Hashirama interrupted their pointless conversation, "Alright, the Holy Gold Coins here are fine too, and of course, all kinds of supplies and knowledge are also acceptable."

"Earth dragons and stuff?" Anastasia's eyes lit up, and she continued, "And ores, wood, ironware, and things like that, are those all okay?"

"Forget about ironware. Special life forms, plants, ores, items with special uses, potions, and other such items can all be used as payment," Zhuji said. "I will use magic to assess the value of this airship and then give a suitable price!"

"Magic?" Anastasia looked at Hashirama curiously. "Does Lord White Dragon have magic to assess the value of items?"

"Well, I know a little bit," Hashirama nodded, took out a Holy Gold Coin, and estimated that one Holy Gold Coin was worth about 100,000 yen. Hashirama chose a suitable place to stand and placed his palm on the deck. "Estimate the price!"

Hashirama then learned how much the airship was worth: 500,000 Saint Gold Coins. However, to round it up, Hashirama said, "The price of this is one million Saint Gold Coins."

“One million? That’s a bit expensive,” Anastasia looked at the airship with envy, then shook her head. Although she could mobilize so much money, the entire guild would collapse because of it.

"It's already very cheap. It comes with various puppets that can operate on their own and can be controlled by anyone. It also comes with various weapons and is very fast," Hashirama said, suddenly feeling a little guilty. After all, if this were to encounter a flying mage, it would be easily destroyed. However, if it were equipped with a mage, it would be extremely powerful.

“I understand. One million? I’ll discuss it with the Sages’ Association,” Crusch nodded, mentally calculating the value of the various items. “By the way, how much would the airship information cost?”

"Hmm," Hashirama shook his head, wondering if they could gather enough materials here. "I'll take your 500,000."

“Okay,” Crusch nodded, her heart bleeding. This time, the kingdom’s treasury had been completely emptied. She hoped that this trade fair would serve as a wake-up call for the kingdom.

"That's good," Hashirama nodded, and seeing that they had flown quite a distance, he hovered the airship. "But now, let's go back!"

As he spoke, Hashirama opened a portal to the side, while the people next to him were somewhat disappointed, "Sigh, we haven't seen enough yet."

However, everyone still walked through the portal on one side. Hashirama carefully checked that no one was there, then put away the airship and stepped into the portal.

After Crusch apologized to Hashirama, she left with Felix and a group of magicians. Hashirama looked at Anastasia, who was still standing to the side, and then remembered that she seemed to have come for something else today.

“Oh right, you’re here today to send the advance team over,” Hashirama said, looking at Anastasia with a sudden realization. “But I haven’t been to many places over there. I know there are quite a few commercial countries, but I’ve never been to any of them.”

“That’s no problem,” Anastasia nodded, looking as if she were praying. “The High Goddess Eris has given me a revelation. You just need to send them to the city called Axel.”

"You've already joined the Cult of Eris?" Hashirama looked at her curiously. Eris's influence is really far-reaching, even though she was the one who provided these coordinates. "What else did Eris say?"

"The goddess also said that you have a treasure called the 'Gate of Interdimensional Transcendence,' and I hope you can lend it to me," Anastasia said devoutly from the side.

"A portal, huh?" Hashirama shook his head speechlessly. "Alright, but the agreed-upon reward can't be changed."

“I understand,” Anastasia said, then pulled out a ledger.

"The total assets of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce are now two million Saint Gold Coins, and half of the assets are one million Saint Gold Coins. We can sign a contract."

As he spoke, Julius took out a piece of paper imbued with magic, and Anastasia began to write on it.

A moment later, she handed the contract to Hashirama. Hashirama glanced at it and understood that the contract was roughly as follows: Hashirama would help relocate the Hexin Merchant Guild's supplies and personnel, and provide a 'Gateway to Another World'; after the Hexin Merchant Guild completed its relocation, the Hexin Merchant Guild would need to pay Hashirama supplies worth one million Holy Gold Coins and return the Gateway to Another World.

"Hmm, there are a few loopholes," Hashirama shook his head and modified the content. The time limit was thirty days, and the service Hashirama provided was only to open and rent the portal. There were no other services, and the payment method was also limited.

"Lord White Dragon is really strict," Anastasia shook her head as she looked at the newly revised contract. "But thirty days is a bit tight. Many supplies won't sell for a good price. Lord Hashirama, how about extending the time to one hundred days? Also, transporting the family members of the merchant guild takes a lot of time."

"One hundred days," Hashirama calculated, "that's only five days over there. Okay, so where do you want to install the Transcending World Gate?"

“Yes, please follow me, my lord,” Anastasia said, as the orcs pulled out a dragon carriage. “It’s in the manor not far from the capital.”

"That's good," Hashirama nodded, then looked at Rem and Beatrice beside him. "Rem, take good care of Beatrice here."

“Understood, Lord Hashirama,” Rem nodded, watching Hashirama and Anastasia leave with Beatrice.

Sitting in the dragon chariot, the two chatted idly. Julius was on one side, while the other orcs rode strange beasts. Anastasia inquired about more specific information about the world of Eris from Hashirama, as well as the range of valuable items in Hashirama's mind.

Hashirama answered all their questions, and Anastasia learned a lot as a result. Soon, the group arrived at a huge manor where many orcs lived. Each of them looked powerful and experienced in battle.

Anastasia introduced the group, saying it was her personal mercenary group, the "Iron Fang," and that everyone in it was a master. Hashirama remained noncommittal.

Chapter 755 Transcending Worlds

The mercenary group's leader, Ricardo Wilkin, is a werewolf two or three meters tall. However, he is not a werewolf like Bert who has become human-like, but rather a werewolf like Miss Phil from the floating island, covered in fur and looking like a wild wolf standing up.

However, Philco Rubia looks like a noble lady among werewolves, while Ricardo is a wild bodybuilder among them. "Werewolves? I really miss them."

"Oh, Lord White Dragon, have you ever seen a race like mine?" Ricardo seemed quite forthright, and after hearing Hashirama's words, he asked loudly.

Hashirama nodded; "On the floating continent, there is a race similar to you called the Wolf Clan, which looks like this."

As Hashirama spoke, he projected an image of Phil, and Ricardo's eyes lit up. "Oh, she's a good girl. But do they have their own kind in other worlds? That's wonderful, hahaha."

“Well, there are other kinds of werewolves,” Hashirama shook his head and didn’t say much. The group walked inside for a while, and Anastasia stopped in a grove of trees. “Lord White Dragon, the portal can be installed here.”

“Here,” Hashirama nodded, then sat down to the side and closed his eyes. “Wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon.”

After closing his eyes, Hashirama thought about what they needed. Besides the Transcending World Gate, they would also like the Amulet of Verbal Understanding. After he had decided, Senju woke up on the other side and then created a Transcending World Gate and threw it over.

"Is this the portal?" Anastasia asked in confusion, looking at the normal-sized 'door' next to her after waiting for a few minutes. Hashirama nodded, "Yes, but this one can be adjusted in size."

As Hashirama channeled his magical energy into it, the Transcending Gate gradually grew larger, eventually adjusting to a size of ten meters square. "Is this big enough?"

“Yes, thank you so much, Lord White Dragon,” Anastasia nodded, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the portal. “I really want one.”

Then Hashirama began adjusting the frequency of the portal, connecting to the world of Eris. A new scene appeared inside the portal: a snow-covered landscape with a giant flowering tree in the center.

"Uh, Lord White Dragon, did you open the wrong door?" Anastasia asked, somewhat surprised. Hashirama nodded. "Of course you did. This is where I used to stay over there."

Hashirama walked over there, but it was really cold here. He slapped the ground and exclaimed, "A wooden castle!"

He built an even larger wooden castle around the huge gate, though its actual shape was just a huge square box with the trunk of a huge flowering tree in the middle. This kept the wind and snow out, and he also created some 'light moss' for illumination.

"Is this the other world?" Anastasia arrived with several of her subordinates. "It's really cold though. I wonder how far it is from town?"

“It’s very close,” Hashirama drew on a wooden wall, which immediately turned into a door, but outside, the snow was still falling heavily. “Dispel it!”

Blizzard

Hashirama quickly dispersed them, then he carefully sensed their surroundings and pointed in a direction, "It's over there."

“Over there,” Anastasia looked in the direction Hashirama was pointing, but she didn’t see anything. “By the way, what are these?”

Anastasia curiously touched the snow sprites floating in the air, but Hashirama shook his head. "Hmm, it's a natural phenomenon here. Just think of it as a micro-sprite."

“Micro-sprites, how adorable,” Anastasia chuckled, then shouted across the snowfield, “I, Anastasia Hessin, have arrived in this world!!!”

Hearing her shout, Hashirama leaned closer. "By the way, are you worried about language barriers in another world? I have something good here, a talisman for understanding language, only ten holy coins each."

“Um, Lord White Dragon, this ruins the atmosphere,” Anastasia sighed, then said, “I want a hundred of these convenient magical tools.”

“Okay, payment is due upon receipt of payment,” Hashirama said, looking around with a sigh. “This area is undergoing post-war reconstruction, and your trading company will surely thrive here.”

"Thank you for your kind words, Lord White Dragon, but we must go back now," Anastasia said, regaining her senses after playing in the snow for a while. She waved to the surroundings, and the orcs guarding the area surged back.

A group of people returned to this side, while she left a few orcs to guard the other side. "Lord White Dragon, what about the amulet?"

"It'll be ready soon," Hashirama casually crafted a precious wooden board, one meter long, fifty centimeters wide, and five centimeters thick, imbued with affinity magic.

He casually divided it into one hundred parts, and Hashirama crafted them into amulets. These amulets spun around him with his magic. "Alright, these are the amulets for understanding speech."

“Is this it?” Anastasia’s smile seemed to falter. Hashirama nodded. “Indeed, this is quite precious.”

“Hoo,” Anastasia took a deep breath, then smiled again. “Lord White Dragon, please come this way. We will pay the corresponding amount immediately.”

After Anastasia received the money, Hashirama left immediately. The group stared silently at the table full of wooden pieces. After a while, Anastasia finally spoke, "Anyway, let's give it a try. Maybe Lord White Dragon's power has already been added to them."

They then tested it and found that it really worked, which relieved them. Anastasia nodded, "Then, Tibi, Mimi, this exploration mission is in your hands. Make sure you gather enough intelligence and establish a foothold over there."

"Understood!" The two cat-eared creatures, who looked almost identical, replied simultaneously. Then, things got busy, and several dragon-shaped vehicles carrying supplies rushed into the interdimensional gate.

Hashirama returned to Crusch's residence, but Crusch didn't seem to be back yet. Beatrice was teasing Puck, while Subaru Natsuki was seriously using the computer to teach Emilia what she should pay attention to on the other side. Felt and Liliana were watching with great curiosity.

Rem and Reinhard stood to the side, though their auras were quite different.
