Offer blocks to the end times

Regardless, the three decided to promote their food in the usual way. Although a stall can't be very big in an image, their superb cooking skills attracted a lot of people to watch. After just a little taste, they couldn't resist the delightful flavor.

Many locals were curious about why this tasted so good. As he sold his wares, Senju casually explained that he learned it from the adventurers in Akihabara, where there were many novel things to discover.

Upon hearing this, the local man's heart stirred. Akihabara, indeed. He seemed to have heard rumors of delicious food appearing there these days. Perhaps he could go and check it out. The three of them set up a stall here for three days and sold more than 10,000 servings of food. Only their superhuman strength could keep up with the demand; an ordinary chef would have been exhausted long ago.

On their last night, the three of them held an open-air barbecue, teaching the locals how to barbecue. Many adults...

Everyone participated, but very few people successfully grilled meat. Most of the skewers turned into purple wriggling creatures and then disappeared. It's such a pity! It's something that would never happen in the normal world, but everyone here thinks it's normal. Damn it, instead of using the skills given to them by the gods to make food, they just put these ingredients on a fire to roast. Isn't that a waste?!

Of course, after tasting the successful grilled skewers, their mood immediately reversed. Does food taste better when burned on a fire? Hmm, grill this apple.

Watching everyone grilling various ingredients over the fire, Senju felt that 'Ikeda' might have to be renamed 'Fire Field' in the future. But starting from grilling, it's a step forward in cooking. I believe that those who learn to grill will soon open a yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant and become popular with everyone.

Of course, everyone learned to make simple things like juice very quickly. The crowd was having a lively time, but Senju and her two maids had already retreated into the shadows. "Alright, let's find that library and then go check out the other places."

Finding the forbidden library was super easy; the three of them knew where it was as soon as they entered the city, and they quickly found the library maze.

"This world is really novel. It's not isolated from the outside world, but it has its own rules. It's like an incomplete little world," Ram said with slight surprise as she walked through the forbidden library. The two people next to her also sensed the slight difference between the rules here and the outside world. "It must be the effect of the magic circle. But there are quite a lot of books here."

“Hmm,” Ram nodded, then shook his head. “I sensed an ominous aura in these books. What do you want these books for, Master?”

"Hmm, give them to a magic academy as a library," Senju muttered, looking around. "Books with such an aura... if I give them to those mages, I might have to clean house later." Ram shook his head slightly. "Of course... hmm, who's there?!"

"Waaaaah~" A ratman rushed out from behind a bookshelf, yelling as it was swatted to death by a thousand hands. The rat then dropped a few gold coins and a page. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an evil spell that summoned ratmen through blood sacrifice.

"So this is how monster fighting works," Ram watched from the side, understanding the workings of this place. This could indeed be used in her own illusion space. However, after casually picking up a book from the shelf and looking at it, Ram shook her head. "Master, these books are not good. If we use them as teaching materials, they will definitely produce a lot of villains. It's better to destroy them completely."

Chapter 1916 Traveling

"Hmm," Senju nodded, flipping through another book. The content of this book was quite ordinary; it simply taught people how to slaughter a village to summon uncontrollable monsters. After glancing at it briefly, Senju crushed the book. Upon closer inspection, he found various dangerous books, some of which involved endangering oneself to gain powerful strength, while others relied on sacrificing others to obtain all sorts of random powers.

After a little sorting, the thousands of large bookshelves were reduced to just one large bookshelf containing a 'rational version of forbidden techniques'. With a wave of her hand, she put it away. Senju looked at Ram and Rem, "The rest are all rubbish. Let's destroy this place together."

The three clasped hands together and raised them. A beam of white light spread out, obliterating all the books, monsters, and special law barriers. In the end, only a huge, empty space remained. Looking at the empty surroundings, Rem remembered something. "Master, let's leave them some useful books. That would be better."

“That makes sense,” he nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he copied and translated a book from a large library and left it there. He also left some small robots to manage the books, and, incidentally, put up a sign outside that read “Modern Library.”

After burning all the books here, the remaining ones couldn't be considered ordinary books either. After thinking for a moment, Senju took the two of them to the magical city of Tsukuba. However, this time they didn't cross space, but instead traveled slowly in a dragon carriage. After all, the books weren't in a hurry.

Following the map, the three of them weren't in a hurry at all, treating it as a trip. They often encountered villages of earth people along the way, where they would teach each other cooking skills, buy some ingredients, and occasionally help the villagers drive away monsters. Well, no matter what level of monster they encountered, they were no match for them. However, the most common monsters they encountered were goblins. Sure enough, they were the most common little monsters.

The leisurely journey lasted for more than twenty days until one day, they discovered that real food had appeared in several towns, and it seemed that they no longer needed to spread it. So the three of them hurried to the magical city of Tsukuba. Everything on the streets here was well-organized and comfortable. Walking here was a pleasure. Moreover, there were many magical shops here. The three of them strolled around and bought some nice items to make gifts for their families.

It's basically just some pretty flowers and plants, beautiful accessories, clothes and toys, and a bunch of magical musical instruments. The instruments here are amazing; they can continuously emit magical orbs shaped like musical notes, which looks really fun.

After wandering around for two or three days, the three of them saw the Griffin Guard. Senju remembered that this kind of mount was extremely rare among players. Only Shiroe and others had a few. Now there were dozens of them together. Of course, Senju was not envious. Not to mention that she had thousands of dragons in her space, even Rem could show a huge dragon form.

amount

Speaking of Rem, she was originally a demon, but she was later modified by herself and given the power of a dragon. What should her race be called now? Demon Dragon King? Dragon Demon King? Something doesn't feel right.

While Senju was pondering this, he received a call from Shiroe, who said that they would set off the next day and spend two hours to reach the Ancient Ice Fortress. Senju also said that he would arrive there by then.

"Rum-chan~ Please take these gifts home. Rem and I are going to a banquet afterward," Senju asked Ram. Ram shook her head helplessly. "Master, you're so boring. You can solve this so easily, but you're still dawdling here. But you have to take good care of Rem, or I won't allow it."

“Of course, I will take good care of Rem,” Senju assured her, then Ram tugged at Senju’s clothes, “However, Master, your current clothes don’t match the atmosphere of the banquet, please wear this one.”

As she spoke, she took out a set of white clothing, feeling the texture. This was the highest grade of elven cloth, which contained extremely powerful divine power. It could isolate all magic, and after it was formed, it was further enhanced with many special magical spells.

Senju felt incredibly refreshed after changing into the outfit, and looked a hundred times more handsome. "Thank you, Ram, this outfit is absolutely amazing and super cool."

"Uh," Ram slapped his forehead helplessly, "Master, this is for the banquet, not for now. Oh well, Rem will take care of you anyway."

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment, then gave the gift to Ram to give to everyone. After sending her back, Senju looked at Rem to the side and said, "Let's go to Akihabara later."

Before heading to Akihabara, Senju spent some time searching for magic books and built a library, which he then placed in the magic academy. However, he ignored the magicians' other requests, letting them fend for themselves.

After doing all that, the two set off. Senju tore open a space and returned to Akihabara. After wandering around for a while, they went to the inn to rest.

The next day, after contacting Shimoshiro Megumi, they met up at the entrance of Akihabara. There were seven of them in total, with four horses and a carriage, although the carriage looked rather ordinary.

Shaking his head, he watched the others riding horses. Senju wasn't riding a dragon carriage this time either, but a pure white fantasy pegasus with dazzling light effects. The gentle white light was almost blinding to everyone. Rem, on the other hand, was riding a light blue earth dragon, which looked very beautiful. This made the surrounding players very curious about what kind of mount it was, but when they looked at the mount's information, they were greatly shocked. It was a level 100 mount!

As they walked and chatted, they gradually became familiar with each other. Shiroe took the opportunity to briefly explain the cylindrical weapon in the department store in the lobby, confirming that he was right about his lack of skill; it was a world-class weapon capable of having an effect on this world.

Hearing Thousand Hands say that the weapon could cleave the world in two, the surrounding players had rather subtle expressions. Some even touched their own weapons, thinking that their weapons had impressive backstories, related to gods and the world, but they weren't that expensive—three hundred million gold coins! Why not just rob someone?!

However, Shiroe continued to ask questions, and then learned the true name of the sword, "Ea, the supreme artifact in Mesopotamian mythology, I see."

Afterwards, Shiroe talked about the differences between the current Earthlings and the game, and Senju also talked about what she had seen and heard these past few days. They chatted slowly, and soon the group arrived at the so-called Ancient Ice Castle. Looking at the huge castle there, the players seemed a little stunned. "Such a building is really amazing."

Chapter 1917 The Eternal Ice Pit Fortress

"Uh, it's not a floating crystal castle after all, what a disappointment," Senju shook his head in disappointment as everyone praised it. In Senju's eyes, the surroundings were a wasteland, with grass and trees growing on various abandoned modern buildings. In this ruin, there was a huge pit several kilometers wide, filled with countless ice blocks. A castle was built on top of this ice, and the castle itself was also covered with huge blocks of ice.

This should be a magical remnant crater formed by an ice meteorite striking the earth. Countless ice elements gathered here to form this ice, and then someone built a castle here, mainly to utilize these ice elements. However, it is clear that the current owner is a later person who does not know how to utilize these ice elements, which is why huge blocks of ice have formed on the castle.

Thousand Hands stood there watching, while the others nearby were speechless. The scene was already fantastical enough, but thinking about what Thousand Hands had said—the crystal castle floating in the air was indeed incredibly dazzling—and then looking at the ice castle now, they felt like they had been hit by a giant block of ice, and the sense of grandeur immediately diminished.

Although everyone was grumbling to themselves, no one said it aloud like Senju. Shiroe shook her head helplessly, "Senju-sama, this isn't your fantasy game. We haven't actually seen the kind of breathtaking scenery you described. As it is now, it's enough to excite everyone."

"Ah, I forgot you guys are playing computer games, not virtual games, hahaha," Thousand Hands burst into laughter, causing black lines to appear on the foreheads of the people around him. Was this done on purpose?! Well, Thousand Hands was doing it on purpose. Looking at the ice fortress in the distance, he snapped his fingers, and a road made of starlight extended from the overpass where they were.

Upon reaching the outer entrance of the Ice Castle, we said, "Let's go this way; we can't let our momentum falter."

"Wait, let us change our clothes," Shiroe called out. Then, the players put away their carriages and changed into blue robes that resembled magic robes. Just by looking at them, it was clear that these seven people were from the same organization. "Lord Senju, would you like to change your clothes?"

"Well," after looking at their clothes for a while and then at the clothes Ram had made for her, Senju shook her head in the end, "Never mind, I'll just wear what I'm wearing now."

“Is that so? Then let’s go together,” Shiroe invited. Then the group stepped onto the starlight. The castle also noticed the change. They saw people walking on the starlight and quickly recognized the person. They immediately prepared a welcoming ceremony.

Perhaps because it was the time of the Lords' Meeting, the ceremonial team was already skilled at receiving people. In no time, a group of ceremonial teams stood on both sides of the long stone bridge outside the castle entrance.

Moreover, a group of nobles were standing at the castle entrance to greet them, probably because they had discovered Senju, since Senju's current attire was too flashy.

They slowly let the horses walk, and after more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of the stone bridge. Looking at the honor guards on both sides carrying large axes, they were actually axe warriors in cloth robes. Thousand Hands was slightly disappointed. There was no one blowing a horn, and it wasn't lively at all.

Senju was disappointed, but the others beside him dismounted. Senju, still on horseback, wondered, "We're still a long way from the entrance, why did you all dismount?"

“Master, it’s a matter of etiquette. Dismounting shows respect to the host here,” Rem whispered a reminder. Senju nodded and dismounted, though he didn’t feel any respect for the people here. “Is that so? Alright.”

After dismounting, Senju continued walking side by side with Shiroe. He hadn't been paying attention to his positioning, but Shiroe reminded him to proceed in this manner. After a moment's thought, Senju rolled his eyes. Shiroe was really good at using the tactic of borrowing the tiger's power. Walking side by side with him would give the people here the impression that the player had already established a cooperative relationship with the Aizo Empire, and that Senju was here to lend his support.

However, Senju didn't pay attention to any of that. He casually looked around at the buildings and then listened to Shiroe's ramblings. He then learned that the buildings were built by the ancient ancestral race, and that the race Shiroe had chosen was the semi-ancestral race. The true ancestral race was the origin of magic, but it had now become extinct.

“What a pity,” Thousand Hands shook his head, a thought suddenly popping into his mind: what kind of creature could be created by combining the bloodlines of players? That’s quite an intriguing project.

However, as they continued, the group arrived at the castle entrance, where stood an elderly man with white hair and a white robe, wearing a crown. He looked to be about fifty years old and was quite robust. He bowed slightly to Thousand Hands and said, "Welcome, Your Excellency Grand Duke Aizor, to the Ancient Ice Castle. I am the head of the lords of the Free City Alliance of Ishtar, Duke Serziad Koven of Maihama."

Although Serziad was very unhappy about Senju calling himself Grand Duke, he appeared very solemn on the surface and showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever. The other nobles also selectively forgot that Senju's title was 'illegitimate' and stood respectfully to the side.

“I am merely accompanying a few friends on a sightseeing trip. I hope Duke Koven will not mind my uninvited arrival,” Thousand Hands returned the greeting slightly, his expression much more casual. In fact, he didn’t know how to say anything polite. Duke Koven, on the other hand, remained solemn. “Of course not. Your presence here is an honor for Ishtar. This way, please.”

Seeing him turn to the side and reach out, Senju wanted to take a step, but Rem pulled her back, and her voice echoed in her mind, "Master, there are other people here. If you just leave now, it will be very impolite to Mr. Shiroe and the others."

“Uh,” Senju was speechless for a moment. Did a few simple words and actions really warrant so much thought? She stopped, and following Rem's instructions, turned and gestured to introduce the people around her, “Duke Koven, these are my friends, and the real invitees to this banquet. Let me introduce you. This is the initiator of the Akihabara self-governing organization, the 'Round Table Conference'…”

Thousand Hands was making introductions, and the others awkwardly returned the greetings. However, one player, Klasti, the guild leader of DDD, was quite adept at it. He spoke politely to Thousand Hands and Duke Koven, clearly a diplomatic talent whose talents were wasted on combat. The other players breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They were fine with fighting monsters, but getting them to interact with nobles was far too much trouble.

After chatting for a while, everyone finally entered the castle together. They sat together and chatted, as the banquet wouldn't start until the evening. However, there were already quite a few nobles here, pointing and whispering from a high platform. Some of them even had strange opinions about Senju. Rem had secretly intervened and made these people look bad. After that, no one dared to speak ill of Senju anymore.

Chapter 1918 Deterrence and Intimidation

Seeing that Shiroe and the others were somewhat reserved, Duke Koven was still talking to Senju, trying to find out the specific purpose of Senju's visit. After a while of feigning politeness, Senju lost interest, shook the sword-shaped wine cup in his hand. He had just gotten it from a waiter and it wasn't just plain water anymore. "Duke Koven, there are many other nobles here. You don't need to keep entertaining me."

“No, only I can entertain His Excellency the Grand Duke here,” Duke Cowen said with a serious expression.

Thousand Hands rolled his eyes, somewhat impatient with this fake enthusiasm. "I said, go find someone else!"

His calm gaze contained a pressure that made Duke Cowen want to scream in madness. In an instant, Duke Cowen knew what to do. "Then, Your Excellency, please forgive my rudeness for now. You can directly instruct the steward on anything."

"Okay, go ahead," Senju waved casually, then stood calmly by the fence, looking into the distance. This place was truly desolate. He thought of the castle he had left outside; that place was a beautiful and serene place. He decided to summon that castle over there.

Senju thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand towards the distance. The nobles who were secretly observing around him were puzzled, and then felt the earth shake violently. In their panic, they saw a magnificent and dazzling castle rising in the distance, which looked thousands of times more magnificent than the one they were looking at. "What is that? Is it a relic from the Age of Gods?!"

The crowd was talking in panic when Thousand Hands turned around, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said, "Don't worry, that's just my mobile palace, there's nothing to be surprised about."

"..." The crowd, who had been panicking and making wild guesses, were stunned. What was the Grand Duke saying? That was his mobile palace? How could it be moved here? They couldn't understand it! But from this incomprehensible change, they glimpsed a glimpse of Senju's power. Perhaps those miraculous rumors from before were true. The crowd bowed deeply to Senju, impressed by this power. The position of Grand Duke was truly well-deserved!

Thousand Hands raised his wine glass to the crowd, and the nobles who had risen again became extremely polite, but no one dared to approach. However, the guards here had no idea what had happened and were somewhat panicked when they saw the huge castle that had suddenly appeared outside. They then sent people to investigate.

Duke Koven quickly received the news and learned the cause of the matter. He felt a strong sense of worry. In the current situation where he could not contact the Izumo Knights, it was not a good thing for Ishtar that the Aizor Empire had this powerful figure. On his side, he had to win over the players in Akihabara.

He didn't want to antagonize the Grand Duke, but if he didn't react in this situation, it would be seen as cowardice. As the head of the lords, if he backed down, he would be looked down upon by many. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and sent someone to call a few players.

The players were also surprised to see the castle that suddenly appeared. Of course, they were surprised by the castle's magnificent and fantastical appearance; the castle over there was far more dazzling than this one.

Senju ignored the panic of the people on this side and looked at the castle over there. The people inside knew the reason for this change and were not flustered at all. They continued their work and even sent out a team of guards to 'welcome' the scouts.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?" Although he had been subdued earlier, Duke Koven still came over with a fierce but inwardly defiant question. Sure enough, the pursuit of gain outweighed his life instincts. "Don't forget, this is Ishtar's territory. Are you trying to start a war?!"

"War?" Thousand Hands looked at Duke Koven, who seemed quite guilty. The player standing next to him immediately felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing this, and looked at Thousand Hands seriously, waiting for his answer. Thousand Hands shrugged slightly, "I have no intention of starting a war. I'm just moving here to a palace that's convenient for me to stay in. Duke Koven, you don't need to think too much about it."

“But this is Ishtar territory. Before taking any action, Your Excellency should at least have informed them,” Duke Covin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Thousand Hands’s stance, and his tone softened considerably. Thousand Hands casually waved his hand, “Next time, I’ll do it.”

"There will be a next time?!" This was what Duke Cowen was thinking. He seemed to be choked half to death by these words, but having achieved this much, it was already a very good result. "That's good, we can prepare in advance."

“Hmm,” Thousand Hands nodded, then looked outside. “The scenery inside the Ancient Ice Castle is quite nice, but the scenery outside is a bit lacking. As an apology, let me help everyone repair it.”

As he spoke, he threw a black orb of light outwards. Before everyone's eyes, it flew outside, and then the debris on the ground was frantically absorbed into it. Several players were dumbfounded, "A black hole?!"

"It's just a gravitational singularity, used to clean up the ruins outside the castle," Thousand Hands waved his hand. Duke Koven next to him didn't quite understand, but the other players just chuckled. Damn, a gravitational singularity isn't much different from a black hole! But can it even control a black hole? Although the black hole outside is absorbing objects, it's not producing any more anomalies.

After clearing the area outside, a huge sphere appeared in the air, then rapidly compressed into an unstable ball of light, radiating outwards in waves. The people around took a step back. "Is that really okay?! It looks like it's going to explode!"

"Don't worry, it's just a pre-arranged procedure. Please enjoy the miracle of the flowers." With a clap of his hands, the ball of light in the sky exploded, forming countless colorful petals that fell to the ground outside. After landing, they immediately and rapidly grew into various flowering trees. From the air, it looked like a sea of ​​flowering trees appeared around the castle. However, the group of people next to them were stunned, shocked by the changes outside.

The scenery outside was breathtaking, but this felt more like a threat! Then, Thousand Hands snapped his fingers, and stone paths, magical streetlights, fountains, and flowing water appeared inside the flower sea, transforming it into a scenic area.

They're the same now.

“What a beautiful view! Thank you for your help, Grand Duke. This place will surely be remembered for eternity.” Duke Cowen looked at the changes outside with a delighted expression, but inwardly he was shocked. Thousand Hands glanced at him but didn’t say anything. “Well, you’re welcome. It’s all wilderness around us. It’s really disrespectful to the wonders of the Ancient Ice Castle.”

"That's true, hehehe," the people around him chuckled dryly. Thousand Hands felt a wave of disgust. It was all so fake, so incredibly fake. The other players looked curiously at the sea of ​​flowers outside. "What a magnificent sight! It would never happen in reality. How did they do it?"

Chapter 1919 A ​​Dream of the Dragon God

"Well, it's just a little decorative trick," Thousand Hands waved his hand dismissively. The other players rolled their eyes, as if they thought they didn't understand. Although the Druid class could temporarily use the power of nature to create trees, the creation of flowering trees on such a large scale was beyond their imagination.

"If you're interested, you can go and take a look. The scenery is just right now," Senju said with a smile. The people who were initially panicked have now regained their composure. "Of course, there's no reason not to appreciate such beautiful scenery. Please excuse us for being impolite."

Most people left, and no one knew whether they went to see the flower field. Anyway, after Thousand Hands apologized slightly to Duke Koven, he took Rem to stroll through the flower field. Seeing flowers was much more interesting than killing people, no, it was more interesting than seeing people.

However, after circling around for a while, many nobles came to admire the flowers, and many servants appeared around them. Senju read their minds and knew their thoughts and Duke Koven's words.

Duke Coven explained that this sea of ​​flowers was created by Grand Duke Ezo using powerful magic to celebrate the banquet, and everyone is welcome to visit and admire it.

Senju remained silent on the matter. He watched as groups of nobles occasionally raised their glasses to greet him, and Senju responded with a slight toast in return. These were unaware of the situation. It was fine if they casually raised their glasses, but when someone came over to chat, Senju felt exhausted. It wasn't that he was bad at socializing, but these nobles' conversations were utterly pointless.
