Offer blocks to the end times

“Level 10,000,” Thousand Hands held up one finger, then looked at Myne and shook his head. “Your magical aptitude is good, but your body is too weak. Who knows what the future holds?”

"Ten thousand levels~ That's so many books?!" Myne didn't even hear what came after that, she was shaking excitedly, while Lutz next to her shouted, "Myne only has six months to live? What does that mean?"

“She contracted a disease called Body Devouring. If she doesn’t become a mage, she only has six months to live. But it doesn’t matter now, as long as she becomes a mage within six months.” Senju glanced at Lutz to the side. Is this what they call childhood sweethearts? But Myne’s original soul was that of a twenty-year-old girl. What’s going on now?

He mentally scoffed for a moment, then glanced at Myne. She was constantly summoning and disappearing books, then putting things into them. He couldn't help but remind her, "Myne, magical items are very precious in this world. If you just take them out like that, you might get murdered."

“How could that be!” Myne said nonchalantly, and Thousand Hands flicked her forehead. “Why is it impossible? The land that Master wanted to acquire last time was captured by nobles and made into female slaves. If your talent is discovered by nobles, Myne, you will inevitably become a slave as well.”

"How is this possible?!" Myne exclaimed, seemingly not believing it at all. Well, that's understandable. In her previous life, she was a bookworm, and after coming here, she has the protection of her family. Myne has never experienced any setbacks. Senju shrugged, "Why is it impossible? Why would nobles care about the lives of commoners? Oh, right, Master forgot to mention, a few days ago, I killed a few nobles. If you are found to be my disciple, they probably won't let you go either."

"..." Myne was stunned for a moment. Had she accidentally become a terrorist?! After a moment of resentment, she looked at Senju, "Master, how many books do you have?"

"How many books? There are probably this many," Senju smiled slightly at the resentful little girl, and opened his portable library. Instantly, the two of them were surrounded by a world of books. Myne saw countless rows of bookshelves thousands of meters high, densely packed with books, and countless elves maintaining them. "Heaven!"

Myne was so happy she almost fainted, but Senju snapped his fingers and they returned to reality. Myne froze instantly, then rolled around on the floor, crying, "Books! Books! Books! Ahhh, my paradise! Give me books, give me books!"

"..." Looking at the unruly child Myne rolling around on the ground, Senju turned to Lucci. Whenever the unruly child appeared, the well-behaved child was particularly pleasing to the eye. She unleashed her magic and used the Mind-Asking Technique. "Lucci, you heard what was just said, right? Will you betray Myne?"

"Absolutely not, I will protect Myne!" Lutz said earnestly. Senju couldn't help but shake her head. As expected of a simple-minded child. Then she nodded. What he said was true. He had entrusted everything to Myne. "Is that so? Then, do you like swords?"

As he spoke, Thousand Hands raised his hand and pulled a small short sword from the ground. Looking at the sword, Lutz shook his head. "I want to go to other towns. I also want to try to see all kinds of scenery. I want to know many stories. I want to become a traveling merchant or a bard."

"Uh, is that so?" Senju shook his head, and the small sword turned into countless dust particles that fell to the ground. Then Senju started rummaging in his pocket. Myne, who was rolling around, also stopped and looked over. "Idiot Lucci, why did you refuse? Even if you want to be a traveling merchant, you have to be able to fight. If you choose the sword, your teacher will give you some amazing abilities!"

“It’s a personal choice,” Senju said casually, then took out a musical instrument that looked like a morin khuur from his pouch. “I can’t teach you how to be a traveling merchant, but a bard can’t be ignorant of music.”

Chapter 1965 Disappointment

As fingers brushed across the strings, melodious music began to play, with a few notes floating around. This was the weapon of the bard profession in the City of Harmony, and it was no less powerful than a staff.

"The music is wonderful~" Myne was somewhat mesmerized. She had come here, but there were no books or music at all.

She said there are many other things that don't exist yet, but now she is deeply moved just by hearing the sound of the strings being plucked.

"The sea breeze gently caresses the road ahead, and in an instant, we cross mountains and gaze into the distance at the city streets, the journey still long..." Thousand Hands sang slowly as he played the zither. Several decorative conch shells behind the zither slowly glowed and floated up. The two listened, mesmerized. However, strangely, the zither music only echoed within a five-meter radius. Beyond that, there was no sound at all. Thousand Hands had instinctively controlled the range of the music.

"Wow, Master is amazing!" As the song ended, Myne clapped her hands, and Lucci next to her clapped along. Senju rolled her eyes. At home, her singing was considered terrible. After all, the maids in her house aspired to be musicians. Often, after Senju conquered a world, they would go in to find songs to learn. Moreover, with Reinhard as their instructor, their singing was superb.

At most, Qian Shou listens to their performances and learns a little bit from them, but it's obvious that these two children haven't heard any decent music here.

“Oh, right,” Senju suddenly remembered something, slapping his forehead. He looked at the two cheering children beside him and said, “I just killed the lord’s uncle a few days ago. Although I’m not afraid of them, you two should be careful not to run into the library.”

The applause and cheers abruptly stopped. The two children stared blankly at Senju. "Couldn't you have stopped messing with us?!" Myne asked cautiously, "Master, does anyone know about this? Surely no one does?"

“No,” Senju shook his head, smiling at Myne. “The lord knows, but I’m stronger, so he wouldn’t dare to make a move.”

"Um, is it okay if I drop out of school now?" Myne was on the verge of tears. At first, she thought he was a golden goose, then he turned into a terrorist with lots of books, and now he's a terrorist with lots of books but exposed? Can't you be a little more careful with your words and actions? Her father is a guard!

“No way~” Senju said with a smile, then looked at the two nervous people, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble. Those nobles who were killed were all those who provoked me. If they didn’t know what they were doing, then let them die. As long as they don’t run towards me, no one will notice the problem.”

"What about my books?" Myne was still unwilling to give up, pointing to the clay magic book floating to the side with her thousand fingers. "If you add other materials, it will change, and new content will appear on it. It will be quite a lot of books."

"Really?!" Myne excitedly gathered a bunch of grass from the side and slapped it on, but it had no effect. Senju rolled her eyes. "Not everything can be put in there. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

Then, Senju looked at Lutz and handed him the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), "Now, do you still want it?"

"I..." After all, he was still a child, and Lutz hesitated subconsciously. Then he looked at Myne and said, "Myne, what do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say."

“Well, Lutz,” Myne hesitated, after all, her teacher seemed to be in extreme danger, and it wouldn’t be good to involve Lutz, so she said, “Um, teacher, let’s not involve Lutz.”

"What a pity, what a pity," Senju shook her head as she looked at Myne. Despite reading so many books, she was still too naive. This abandonment was a major blow to Lutz's fate. Yes, she hadn't seen the cruelty of the world. But Senju still disliked people who lacked awareness.

Shaking her head, Thousand Hands patted the morin khuur, which transformed into a small pendant, and then tossed it to Lutz. "This is a seed of power. You can keep it or throw it away as you please. Myne, you can train slowly from now on, but don't call me master anymore."

With a light snap of his fingers, the listless Senju waved and left, leaving two children staring at each other in bewilderment. Their memories of Senju had been sealed away, and would only be unlocked when they came to their senses.

"Hmm? What's this?" Lutz scratched his head, holding the strange pendant. Myne looked at the clay board in her hand. "Huh? When did you make a clay board? Lutz, what are you holding? Oh right, I dug it up while I was digging. It looks pretty nice. Lutz, you can wear it."

“Okay,” Lutz obediently put them on, then his ears twitched, “Music…”

"Luz, come dig! I want to make more clay boards!" Myne, holding a clay board, attacked the ground with a wooden shovel again, and then Luz ran over to help.

Meanwhile, Senju walked forward casually, slightly disappointed. Myne had a strong obsession with books; she was willing to do anything else as long as she had books. This was not what Senju wanted. What Senju wanted was a will that would not be swayed by external things.

After thinking it over, he decided to take a trip. Thousand Hands slowly walked south for about a few miles until he saw a village where a group of priests were casting spells. In reality, they were pouring magic into a large golden goblet inlaid with magic stones. Then, High Priest Ferdinand raised the goblet to perform the spell.

The magic power absorbed by the magic stone was released all at once, and then formed shining light powder that flew to the fields around the village. In Thousand Hands' perception, the originally barren soil became very fertile. A group of villagers did not come forward to thank him, after all, they were not allowed to be approached, and could only pose from a distance.

"What the hell is this?!" Watching the villagers and priests' actions—they raised their hands, stood on one foot, seemingly cheering and running forward, then suddenly prostrated themselves in a full-body dogeza (lower abdomen) position.

This made even the somewhat depressed Senju roll his eyes.

Then the blue-robed priests returned to the carriage with restraint. After that, the village chief or lord or something similar presented a lot of valuables, but these matters were handled by the gray-robed priests on the side.

"Could this be the ritual for praying for a bountiful harvest?" Senju nodded involuntarily. Although nobles and commoners were severely separated, magic could still be applied to agriculture, which could be considered a kind of progress. Although this ritual was a way for the temple to promote itself, maintain its prestige, and incidentally amass wealth, he should have a share in it, right? He sensed the item he had given.

Thinking it over, Senju followed the group of priests and watched as they conducted rituals in various villages. Everyone treated them with utmost respect, and Senju simply watched without interfering with the important agricultural matters.

Chapter 1966 System Creation

"Is this the result of mastering productivity?" After following the temple's procession for a few days, Senju finally understood. Due to the lack of agricultural technology, the temple here monopolized the most important productive force in this world—agriculture. Without the temple, the grain yield could only be 30% of the original. In other words, without the temple's fertile soil-building rituals, the grain yield here would plummet.

Although this wouldn't affect the diet of the nobles, it would cause suffering for the common people. Of course, the nobles didn't care whether the common people suffered or not; what they cared about was whether their wealth would decrease. If too many common people died, they wouldn't have as many people to exploit, just like shepherds who take good care of their flocks to make it easier to shear them and eat them.

Unfortunately, the common people here don't have any power yet, not even a bit of magic. Unless they invent guns and cannons, they can barely fight against the nobles, but that's a thing of the distant future. Besides, the nobles with magic will eventually occupy an important position.

Although Senju can help them, he is currently cultivating his mind. It would be better to send someone over in a few days. Hmm, it seems that interfering with the development of world civilization is not a good idea. But never mind, there is still Myne, right? We'll wait until she comes to her senses and see if she wants to become a hero who overthrows injustice or a new noble.

Although she might only care about books, guiding her is incredibly easy. Thinking this, Senju went back to the shop. Everything was still calm here, but Bailey asked Senju a question: should the steamed buns, meat, vegetables, and other things that had been sitting for several days be replaced with new ingredients? Oh, and the firewood should also be replaced, even though not much has been burned.

"..." Senju was speechless for a moment. He had just been criticizing the nobles, but it turned out that he was even more extravagant than them. The only difference was that Senju obtained all of this through his own power. Well, it didn't seem like there was any difference.

After a moment of internal struggle, Senju looked at Bailey and asked, "Any big events happening in town lately?"

“Yes, in a few days it will be the baptism ceremony for seven-year-olds, which is a big event for the whole city,” Bailey answered calmly. Thousand Hands nodded. “Is that so? Then you can distribute these things to all the children in the city.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Belle bowed and withdrew. Senju trusted her to handle it, but a baptism ceremony, a seven-year-old child starting to work, was really a bit much. But let’s wait and see before making a decision. After all, even if people are poor, they don’t want war and chaos.

While idling here, Senju is writing a book, mainly about various agricultural techniques. Of course, this book is actually an illustration book, since most common people can't read. However, it's very difficult to make people understand the meaning just by looking at the pictures. It took him more than a day to create a picture book that even an illiterate person could understand.

With a snap of his fingers, Qian Zhe summoned a nightmare demon, then handed him the book, saying, "Go and spread the knowledge in this book to your heart's content. Afterward, I will make you the agricultural god of this world."

"Yes," the dream demon bowed respectfully, then disappeared without a trace with the book in her hand. Senju looked outside again. Although some of her memories were blocked, Myne peered into the room through the door. Senju smiled and nodded at her, then picked up a book and started reading, swaying her head as she did so. She smiled and nodded at Myne, who was furious!

"Boss! I've made something that can be written on!" Myne wanted to shout that and rush in to grab the book, but reason and Dolly held her back. After standing angrily at the door for a while, Myne decided to find a new way to write the book.

Senju looked outside helplessly. With Lucci's help, she had made quite a few clay boards, but they were all trampled flat by some ignorant children while they were drying. At that time, she was so angry that she unleashed her magic. Luckily, she wasn't familiar with them yet, otherwise the children would have been scared to death.

Now, Myne is planning to make bamboo slips again, still feeling smug about her 'worldly knowledge'. But Senju is speechless. Girl, look up and see all the shop signs and price tags in the market. Aren't they all using the same technical principle?

However, the people who came to Maine today weren't going to the forest. Tomorrow is the children's baptism ceremony, and she and her sister came out to play for a day. It's their only free time before they start working. However, there are many people cleaning the streets now. After all, tomorrow is an important ceremony, and everyone wants to give the children a good environment.

"Dolly, she's a good girl," Qian said, watching the older sister run off with her younger sister.

Senju suddenly remembered Chtholly. Perfect timing! He wanted to do something, so he decided to teach this little girl. Of course, this was in a dream. However, Senju knew he wasn't good at teaching. After thinking for a moment, he took out a piece of high-grade magic paper and began designing a system.

Recalling Dolly's usual behavior, Senju chose to design something, drawing inspiration from professions such as druids and tailors in the mythology of the fantasy world.

Recalling the skills and methods of gaining experience in those professions, Thousand Hands quickly wrote on the paper. This was essentially programming a system. Once obtained, Dolly could acquire powerful abilities through her daily work. Of course, this would come with guidance, allowing her to silently conceal this power before a crisis struck. By the way, the tailoring profession could also bring new products to the shop, which hadn't been open for business for several months!

"Phew, finally finished," Senju breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the skill tree that filled the paper. Then he started throwing in a bunch of random items. The paper quickly turned into a piece of gold foil, then began to twist and deform rapidly, finally forming a small cube. "Guardian Heart Prototype Number One at your service."

"Not bad," Senju nodded, looking at his creation. A system, and he had created the shell with his current power. He was really amazing. With a wave of his hand, it disappeared into the void. It had been temporarily hidden by Senju.

Looking outside, they're still doing a big clean-up. If only the whole city were this clean. Baron Bain has started his experiment on fertilizing the fields, but unfortunately, it will take some time before he sees any results.

In reality, the fertilizer in the field wasn't just excrement, but also silt and the like. However, Senju's original purpose was to eliminate the stench of the city, which is why he wrote it that way. Unfortunately, this made it even harder for people to accept.

Looking at the people diligently cleaning outside, Senju thought for a moment, then raised his hand, "Wind, come!"

A gust of wind rose up from the central avenue and then swept towards the four city gates, blowing all the garbage and dust along the way outside the gates. Unfortunately, this only cleaned up the main street.

Chapter 1967 The Rescued

In no time, the streets were cleaned up. Of course, there was one city gate that was extremely unhappy about, which was the north gate guarded by the temple. After the strong wind, a pile of garbage and dust was blown into the temple.

Thousand Hands watched with a smile as the priests inside were humiliated, but his smile quickly faded, and his face darkened. The priests who had been choked reacted differently; the blue-robed priests shouted and cursed, while the gray-robed priests quickly knelt down to apologize and then began cleaning.

"This is really annoying," Senju said with a slightly gloomy expression as he looked at the scene. Although they were all priests, it was obvious that those gray-robed priests were completely servants. He suddenly remembered something: what happened to the women behind the high priest last time?

After scanning the area, Senju found no trace of them. With a gloomy expression, Senju snapped his fingers, and a hummingbird appeared beside him. "Go, gather information about the temple."

With a flap of its wings, the hummingbird tore through space and entered the temple. Then, the reflection of time appeared in its eyes. The events of several months ago were seen again by the Thousand Hands. After that incident, those gray-robed priestesses were stripped of their priesthood and sold to slave traders along with some other gray-robed priests.

"Tsk, what kind of priests are they? They're just the lowest-ranking servants." Senju shook his head slightly at the result. The hummingbird over there followed the traces of time to search for those people. Although those priests who were sold might not be good people, Senju felt that he had some responsibility and should free them from their slave status.

Thinking about it, he took out a few pieces of paper, cut them slightly, and started writing. This is a spell to break a magic contract. In addition, there is a teleportation spell. Hmm, I need to find another city.

He took out a scroll from his bag and opened it. It was an extremely valuable map. After looking at it, he chose a city more than 300 kilometers away from here as their base. However, if people stayed together, they might betray each other. It would be better to stay separate.

The hummingbird flew swiftly and soon found the first woman who had been sold. She was now a concubine in a nobleman's mansion. After all, someone chosen to be by the temple chief's side must be very beautiful.

"Are you willing to break all magical contracts and become a commoner?" Thousand Hands remotely controlled the hummingbird to cast a small illusion spell. After all, although the other party was a priest, he was still an ordinary person without any magic power. However, the other party's answer left Thousand Hands speechless. "I don't want to become a lowly commoner! Damn it, how much effort did I put in to become the temple master's handmaiden? That damned fat pig! But just wait, once I leave the temple, I can become someone of high status!"

"Uh..." Hearing the other person's reply, Senju was speechless for a moment. He realized he'd been presumptuous—no, presumptuous. He shook his head. The next one was still a maid, unwilling to become a commoner; the next one was a man, but he believed it was a test from the gods and dared not disobey; the next one...

There were more than a dozen people in total, but only one agreed to Senju's request. That woman was someone who had been bought from a brothel. When Hummingbird arrived, she was already being tortured to death. Senju shook his head and switched places with Hummingbird.

"Healing spell, spell breaker," in reality, it was necessary to use it; the opponent was about to die, but there was an inescapable curse on them.

Senju doesn't care about opening the magic contract here, but if he leaves directly, the other party will be the one to die.

Seeing that their lives had been saved, Qian Shou grabbed the woman and lit a teleportation talisman. The two of them disappeared instantly. However, a huge fireball suddenly appeared and exploded, setting the surrounding area ablaze. Anyway, it wasn't a good place, so burning it would be healthier.

When the two reappeared, they were near a small town near a city. Looking at each other's tattered clothes, Qian Shou waved his hand, and the tattered clothes turned into light powder, which then transformed into an ordinary piece of clothing.

However, the other party was still being controlled by the illusion. Senju was worried that the other party would say something that would make her roll her eyes, so he made a humanoid figure of light appear in the other party's illusion. This was a god. The 'god' said that he would save her from her suffering and start a new life. In short, it was a majestic deception.

With a wave of his hand, the two disappeared. Then, Thousand Hands started walking around the town. First, he went to find the mayor and got the town's identity document. The woman's original name could not be used, so she would be called Luna. Next was the property certificate and a donation of one hundred large copper coins. Of course, Thousand Hands gave the mayor one large silver coin.

After that, he went out to find a house. The houses in the town were just ordinary single-story wooden houses. Soon, Senju found an inconspicuous wasteland. After investigating, he found that no one cared about this place, so he used creation magic to make a small house. Then, various furniture, bowls, stoves, grains, vegetables, clothes, water tanks and the like appeared inside.

"You are now Luna, a member of this town. Live well here," the 'god' in the illusion said to the woman below. Then, a stream of memories entered her mind, including information about her neighbors. The neighbors were not surprised at all by the houses and people that had appeared here.

“Tsk, illusions are really useful,” he shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, a rock giant appeared. “Save her once when she is in dire straits.”

After saying that, a beam of light enveloped the rock giant and merged into the ground. This was a gift from Senju to her. She shook her head and switched places with the hummingbird again, but the hummingbird then turned into light and disappeared.

"It's a pity there's only one," Senju said calmly, sitting in his chair. With a flick of his wrist, a glass of juice appeared in his hand. He then looked out the window at the people outside. They all had their own lives, and he was not their god, his authority was not commensurate with theirs. However, some people say that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, and the strong should bear more responsibility.

After thinking for a moment, Senju realized he didn't like either of the two principles. Looking at the cup, he chuckled softly, "What kind of alignment am I? Chaotic Neutral? Or Chaotic Good? It's not good to always make excuses for my actions. Isn't doing whatever I want what I'm after?"

“No,” then Senju realized, “What is the heart? It is the intertwining of the yearning for freedom and the understanding of the world. No one can do whatever they want, because one’s own heart will restrain itself. Original sin and chains are intertwined. Being locked in a cage means no freedom, but excessive indulgence is also a sin. It’s really troublesome to figure this out.”

Standing there lost in thought, Senju was completely stunned. Only someone with such a weak will would think like that; other powerful individuals had long since established firm mental compass points for themselves.

Chapter 1968 Baptism
