Offer blocks to the end times

In this respect, magicians from other worlds are quite envious, after all, they

In other worlds, magic power is acquired through diligent meditation, but in this world, there's no need for meditation at all; magic power automatically replenishes itself. Moreover, one must guard against having too much magic power, much like a wealthy person worrying that their house will burst from overflowing with money. Magicians from other worlds are quite envious!

While strolling around, Senju suddenly looked to the side and saw someone visiting his home. In a flash, he returned to the courtyard and looked outside. He saw a group of elite knights protecting someone who looked like a prince. Belle was inside the barrier, confronting the people outside.

"What happened?" Senju stepped forward and asked. Belle reported that it really was a prince visiting. The prince was an envoy from the capital, requesting an audience with Senju. Of course, his attitude was very arrogant. As Senju appeared, the bearded knight in front of him was still shouting, "Insolent wretch! This is His Highness the Prince..."

Senju glanced at him calmly, and the bearded knight simply stood there 'calmly,' waved his hand, opened the barrier, and looked at the group of people outside, "What do you want with me?"

"Kas?" Seeing the bearded man suddenly fall silent, the people behind him immediately noticed something was wrong. After calling out and receiving no response, they all raised their wands and pointed them at Senju, which lit up with various lights. Senju shook his head helplessly, realizing he really didn't know how to communicate. Fortunately, he knew another way to communicate: "Forbidden."

With just a single word, everyone was horrified. The familiar magic within them vanished completely, and the magic stones on their wands dimmed. They were utterly terrified. "How is this possible? My magic!"

In fact, it's understandable that they were panicked. If they lost their magic, they would be stripped of their noble status, which would be worse than death for them. Moreover, without magic, they wouldn't know how to fight.

It's worth mentioning here that in this world, the way of fighting, whether with a sword or a bow, relies on magic and magic stones for top-tier combat power. Without either of these, even nobles become spineless.

"Silence!" Belle shouted from the side, and the knights immediately fell silent. A force sealed their ability to speak. Thousand Hands beckoned to the prince huddled in the middle, "Tell me, what are you doing here? Never mind, I'll just watch."

With a wave of his hand, the struggling prince flew over, and then a hand pressed down on his head. "So that's how it is. Recruiting, Viscount? Ha, how boring."

"!" Seeing Senju's actions, the surrounding nobles turned pale with fright. How could they not see what Senju had done? Senju had read the prince's memories! This was a major incident. Reading memories was a very serious matter, usually only used on suspects or criminals. They never expected the prince to lose so much face today.

In response, Thousand Hands felt it was irresponsible. The prince clearly knew the situation here; there were royal spies in this territory who knew Thousand Hands' power. Yet he still brazenly came over, seemingly believing that his noble status could solve everything. Unfortunately, noble status was useless against Thousand Hands. And, Viscount? What does Viscount mean?

Of course, in the prince's eyes, he had already been more than courteous to scholars. Unfortunately, he was not a 'scholar'. Thousand Hands shook his head, waved his hand, and the group was teleported back to the capital. Along with the words, "Don't bother me."

"..." Upon seeing the familiar city gates of the capital, everyone fell silent. The prince seemed about to utter a curse, but his attendant quickly covered his mouth. "Your Highness, please be careful. That person might be an avatar of a certain deity!"

“Yes, yes, that’s right. That must be an avatar of the God.” The prince was also extremely clever. He immediately thought of many things. If he returned in a sorry state, he would lose face in front of his father. But if the other party was an avatar of the God, then everything would be fine. “That ability to suppress magic, that one must be an avatar of the God of Darkness. We were too reckless.”

“That’s right, that must be an avatar of the God of Darkness,” the equally embarrassed knights around them nodded in agreement, and then concluded, “The God does not want to be disturbed, we must tell the King this properly.”

Chapter 1983 Stewed Rabbit

Regardless of what the prince reported, Thousand Hands was quite relaxed, even having the tornado wood that made up the small building grow a tender shoot every day to eat as vegetables. Looking at the city on the other side, Baron Bain was being investigated, after all, Thousand Hands obtained his identity through him.

However, it was just an investigation, and Senju didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, he wouldn't die. If he discovered his "book" and learned how to make farmyard manure, the city would become less smelly, which would be a good thing and could reduce the spread of disease.

However, when it comes to new technologies, the Dream School has played a significant role. Unfortunately, some children's suggestions were adopted, while others were scolded after making suggestions. It seems that change will take time.

Of course, Senju didn't care about any of that. He was just looking at Dolly. These days, her tailoring skills had improved rapidly. Well, that's not surprising, since she worked in the tailoring workshop every day, so her proficiency naturally increased by leaps and bounds. The foreman praised her highly, saying that she had inherited her mother's 'beauty'. Of course, the 'beauty' referred to here is a woman with superb tailoring skills.

Dolly works hard during the week and makes magical items in her spare time. However, to avoid being too conspicuous, the system buys them at one percent of the price, which means that for every small gold coin worth of goods, she gets a small silver coin.

Of course, the rope, wood, stone and bone series props that Dolly made usually cost a few small silver coins, but in the end, Dolly only received some medium copper coins. However, Dolly was still very happy. Thinking about it, her ability was also given by the system, so it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with it.

Unfortunately, making these props still consumes energy, and Dolly can only make a few a day. Including the failed attempts and those given to her family, it didn't cause much surprise. Senju looked at Dolly's progress and wondered if he should grant her the permission to make weapons.

Of course, the system originally created by Senju also had weapon crafting options, but the materials were a bit difficult for Dolly to obtain, so she had to adapt to the circumstances. For example, the corrosive bomb made from Lulu Fruit could corrode all creatures within ten meters of its impact point.

"No, that's too dangerous." Looking at her 'masterpiece,' Senju thought for a moment and crossed it out. Such a dangerous thing couldn't be allowed for a child to play with. She decided to make her a Druid-themed staff instead. Lulu Fruit + Paru Branch = Icewood Staff, which can fire ice spikes and thorns; Lulu Fruit + Ordinary Branch = Wooden Staff, which can use Entangling Roots; Three Wooden Staffs can be combined into a Short Staff, which can use thorns; Three Short Staffs can be combined into a Staff, which can use wooden spears. They can continue to combine them several more times, probably nine times in total, to obtain the Divine Wood Staff and summon the Wood God.

After creating a bunch of crafting formulas, Thousand Hands unlocked the permissions and let Dolly play with it at her leisure. By the way, Thousand Hands also went to the forest to find materials and made some toys. A fist-sized Lulu Fruit was refined into a peanut-sized Crimson Wood Divine Thunder, which could flatten the outer city with just one.

However, the crimson lightning was truly beautiful. Thousand Hands found a large pile of Lulu Fruits and made a beaded curtain. Well, if this thing exploded, everything within a ten-mile radius would be destroyed, so Thousand Hands added some restrictions.

After playing all day, Senju rested. The next morning, he went to check on the tree bark that had been soaked. Hmm, none of it had been washed away by the water, and no one had come to steal it. Senju stood by the river, wondering if he should scare Myne. Unfortunately, just as he was having this idea, Myne and Lutz came over.

"Phew~" Seeing that her tree bark was unharmed, Myne breathed a sigh of relief. Then she glanced warily at Senju before heading off to gather mushrooms, wild vegetables, fruit, and firewood. Senju followed behind, bored. "Myne-chan, what are we going to do with all that tree bark now?"

"Uncle, don't you have any work to do?!" After asking for a while, Myne couldn't help but ask angrily. Senju nodded, "Sigh, I really don't have anything to do. I have too much wealth at home, and I'm miserable every day. I don't know what to do, so I can only wander around in this forest to pass the time."

"..." Myne decided to stop talking to him. That damn rich man! She had initially thought he was a good person! But he wouldn't even let her read a book. It was outrageous! And he even followed her around picking up poisonous mushrooms she didn't want. What a jerk!

Thousand Hands, having obtained the poisonous mushroom, also used it as a weapon. Together with the bones, they crafted the Voodoo Bone Staff, summoning a skeleton soldier capable of firing poison needles. When this was summoned, it startled Myne, who then shouted, and Lutz instantly appeared, cautiously holding an axe and watching the skeleton soldier warily.

In fact, given Myne's level of cowardice, she should have been terrified and fainted upon seeing the skeleton soldiers. But with the Thousand Hands around, Myne wouldn't faint at all.

"It's nothing, it's just a helper I called," Thousand Hands waved his hand, then controlled the skeleton soldier to pick up things. The two children next to him were dumbfounded. After being shocked, Myne suddenly realized that the skeleton soldier and the robot felt similar. If she had one, she could do a lot of work.

The shift from shock to envy was instantaneous; humans' attitudes towards helpful things change swiftly. As soon as her thought arose, the clay tablet activated options: "Puppetry, 300 points, includes puppet creation, puppet type: wood, bone, iron..."

"..." Seeing that so many points were needed, Myne was speechless. If she had three hundred points, wouldn't she exchange them for Papermaking and Copying Arts? Why would she use them to exchange for Puppetry Arts?!

Muttering to herself, Myne continued digging for wild vegetables. 'Luckily' she usually ate a lot of them, so she recognized most of them. After searching for large things all morning, Myne and Lutz finally rested by the river and ate some fruit to replenish their energy. Meanwhile, Senju was cooking a dish on the side. The ingredient was the rabbit he had casually killed while picking mushrooms with Myne.

After a quick wash, pieces of rabbit meat were put into a pot to stew. Then, Senju looked at Myne and Lutz on the side and asked, "Do you want some? If so, add some mushrooms and wild vegetables."

"Really?" Myne asked, glancing at the rabbit meat and swallowing hard. Rabbits are so delicious, no, so cute, how could she eat them! She needed to seriously reprimand herself. Thinking this, she grabbed a handful of mushrooms, washed them by the river, and then put them in the pot. "Uncle, look carefully, these are the ones you can eat, the rest are poisonous mushrooms."

"Uncle, can these fruits go in?" Lutz held up a few wild fruits and gestured with them. Senju looked at them and selected three. "These are enough."

Chapter 1984 Luncheon Meat

Holding a few wild fruits, after washing them briefly, Senju took out a razor blade and sliced ​​them into pieces, throwing them into the pot. Myne also stuffed mushrooms into the pot, and incidentally...

She glanced enviously at the small knife Senju was holding; it looked like a craft knife. She wanted one too. Then she saw Senju take out a large piece of meat, slice it, and throw it in. "What kind of meat is this?"

“Beef,” Senju replied casually. “One rabbit is clearly not enough; we need to add more meat.”

"..." Myne was a little annoyed. Damn it, she was accidentally shown off her wealth. Of course, Senju didn't have that thought. He really thought one rabbit wasn't enough to eat. Lutz next to him was drooling over the pot.

Seeing that all the ingredients for the rabbit meat had been added, Qian Shou put the lid on, then took out a small table, seasonings, bowls and chopsticks, Paro fruit, and grilled fish. The two people next to him, although they had seen this many times before, were still a little dumbfounded. After all, in a short while, this place had actually turned into a small restaurant, and the food on the table was better than what they usually ate.

After bringing out three chairs, Thousand Hands beckoned to the two of them, "Come and sit down. The rabbit and mushroom dish will be ready soon. Everyone, please have some juice."

As she spoke, Senju cut open two Paro fruits, and the juice inside flew into the bowl. Looking at the milky white juice, Myne couldn't help but lick her lips. It had been a long time since she had tasted anything sweet. She subconsciously went over and sat down. "I'll start eating."

"They're still just kids," Senju sighed as she watched the two little ones happily drinking their juice. Then she patted the empty Paro fruit, turning it into several flatbreads. Thinking it still wasn't enough, Senju took out a few steamed buns instead.

"Steamed buns," Mei Yin said calmly, looking up as she sipped her juice. Several months ago, Qian Shou had distributed steamed buns and dumplings, along with the recipes. Thanks to the clever housewives' comparisons, everyone now eats steamed buns—they're soft, filling, and satisfying.

"Is this white bread?" Lutz recognized the shape, but these ordinary steamed buns were so white that he thought they were something legendary. Myne said to her younger brother, "No, Lutz, this is called a steamed bun. It's the same thing we've been eating lately, but it's made entirely of wheat flour, which is why it's so white."

“I see,” Lutz nodded, and then complimented Myne, “Myne, you know a lot.”

"Hahaha," Myne chuckled dryly. Senju noticed that Myne seemed guilty, but he didn't know what she was guilty about. He shook his head and, feeling that the meat in the pot was almost ready, took out a large bowl and served the meat to each person.

"Mmm, it smells so good," Senju and Myne began to eat, smelling the meat and drinking the broth. Lutz, on the other hand, was staring blankly. Myne glanced at him and urged, "Lutz, what are you standing there for? Eat up!"

"Um, Myne, how are we supposed to eat this without a fork?" Lutz said helplessly, holding up two wooden sticks. Senju and Myne were skillfully using chopsticks, but Lutz really didn't know how to use them. After drinking some hot soup, he was worried about the meat inside.

"Aren't there chopsticks?" Myne said instinctively, while Lutz looked troubled. "But how do you use these? Myne, how do you know how?"

"Well, hahaha," Myne chuckled dryly, then looked at Senju, who was skillfully using chopsticks, and an excuse suddenly popped into her head, "Didn't Uncle use chopsticks a few days ago? I practiced using them after I got back, and they're very convenient to use. I think everyone should use them."

“Is that so?” Lutz’s expression was quite meaningful. Myne nodded repeatedly. “Of course, if you don’t believe me, I’ll teach you.”

"..." Thousand Hands, who was eating meat, watched the innocent scheming between the two children speechlessly. Myne looked super guilty. It's just possession, why be so nervous? At worst, she'll be beaten to death. Cough cough cough, it's better to keep it a secret.

Unfortunately, Lutz found the two sticks difficult to use. No matter how Myne taught him, he still couldn't master them. In the end, he had no choice but to whittle a bamboo skewer to skewer the meat and eat it.

After finishing their meal, the two children slumped in their chairs, too exhausted to move. Senju shook his head, waved his hand, and the leftover food and the table vanished instantly. Then he picked up a book and started flipping through it. Myne excitedly rushed over, "A book!!"

"No," Senju pressed down on Myne's head. Although she was still rushing forward, her little arms couldn't reach it. However, she still stretched out her arms with a fascinated look on her face. "Just let me touch it, just let me touch it!"

"Really?" Senju relaxed a little, and Myne touched the book instantly, then trembled. Senju looked at her speechlessly. Just now, Myne had felt a strong sense of satisfaction in her soul, as if her life had suddenly become complete. Then, holding the book, Myne acted cute towards Senju, "Uncle, can I see the words inside?"

"No way~" Senju flicked her forehead. Seeing her eager expression, Senju quickly put the book away. "I have a feeling that something bad will happen if I let you read the book."

"Oh, my book! Let me touch it a little longer!" Myne shouted as the book disappeared. Senju rolled her eyes. "Little one, don't be so greedy." "Alright, didn't you want to make paper? Once you make paper, you'll have books, won't you?"

“That’s true,” Myne stopped struggling and was about to perform a dogeza (a deep bow) towards Senju. “I’m sorry, I was very rude just now.”

"Alright, alright," Senju pulled her up before she could kneel down. Why does she always like to dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling gesture)?! He put Myne down beside him and said, "Go get back to work."

"Oh

After agreeing, Myne, who was somewhat dazed, began to scoop out the bark that was soaking in the water. Senju watched curiously from the side, and after a while, she covered her ears. After Myne and Lutz scooped out the bark, they used a knife to remove the woody part of the bark.

Unfortunately, the bark was too thin. When it was pressed against the stone and scraped with a knife, it produced a very piercing 'squeak' sound, like a very tight wooden door turning. The two people on the other side also got goosebumps all over their bodies, but they couldn't cover their ears like a thousand hands.

"Hey, at least put a plank underneath," Senju couldn't help but remind her after watching for a while, but Myne looked over with teary eyes, "I forgot to prepare one~ Uncle, can you help me? If you have a suitable plank, I can help you remove the bark."

"Hmm, deal," Senju nodded, then pulled out a sword and swung it a few times at the big tree next to him. The tree then collapsed into countless rectangular planks. Senju pulled two planks out of the pile. "These are big enough, right?"

Chapter 1985 Pitiful and Hateful

"Uh," Looking at the tree that had crashed down, and then at the plank in front of them that they could lie on completely, Myne and Lutz stared blankly for a while before nodding. "Yeah, that's enough."

"That's good," she nodded, and with a wave of her hand at the tree bark in the river, they flew to Myne's side. "Good luck, I'm going to take a nap now."

"..." Myne rolled her dead fish eyes. She found that her temper was getting better and better. She looked at the pile of bark on the side, then at the wooden plank. She started scraping the bark off the plank. This time, the harsh sound was gone.

After going home and sleeping, when Senju came back, he found that no one was there anymore. On the wooden board, there was a pile of white leather, and next to it were black words: "Uncle, your leather."

"..." Looking at these words, Senju was speechless for a moment. It seemed he had been a little late. The two of them had gone home. Looking at the pile of white tree bark over there, Senju rolled his eyes. What use did he have for this? Shaking his head, he took a step forward and ran to the capital for a walk.

Meanwhile, after Qian Shou had walked for a while, several children came out of the woods. They were very excited to see the pile of wood and wanted to move it, but the wet wood was too heavy. After picking and choosing, the children gave up. As for the pile of white, wet wood over there? They didn't even notice it.

A little while later, they discovered the stove and pot on the riverbank. The children were immediately overjoyed. The pot lid and steamer were snatched away in an instant. Then they tried to pry open the large iron pot. Unfortunately, they couldn't move the large iron pot that could hold several children, but they had a way of doing it.

One child ran back, while the others cautiously looked around. Soon, a group of adults arrived with tools, and within minutes, the iron pot was pried away. They then banged on the stove, but finding it useless, they moved on to remove the wooden planks. A dozen minutes later, only broken branches and leaves remained, and the pile of white saplings was scattered on the ground around them.

"Really, is it true that every pitiful person has something hateful about them?" Thousand Hands, who was shopping, shook his head helplessly. He had seen the situation over there very clearly. But it was okay, when the time came, those things would automatically run back. Then he looked at the beautiful magician in front of him and pointed to a table full of props. "Boss, calculate how much all of these cost."

This place truly lives up to its reputation as the royal capital; it has many interesting places. Senju is currently in a shop that specializes in making magical accessories for noblewomen. The items inside are absolutely gorgeous. After looking around, Senju picked out a whole bunch of things. The beautiful mage opposite her looked at Senju in surprise, thinking, "I clearly put them in the sealed display case!"

But upon closer inspection, the material of Thousand Hands' clothes was unrecognizable, yet a faint aura of power emanated from them, indicating that this must be an extremely powerful mage. She then began to calculate, "A total of eight hundred and fifty-three large gold coins. I've already rounded down the change for you. May I ask where you reside? I'll deliver it to your door."

“No need,” Thousand Hands shook his head and took out a box from his spatial pouch, placing it on the counter. He opened it, revealing stacks of gold coins—a thousand gold coins in total. Here, this was an enormous sum, but in other worlds, a single meal might cost several hundred gold coins. Thousand Hands’ gold coins were obtained from that world and, after being exchanged for magic, could be used here as well.

After the transaction was completed, Thousand Hands packed up a bunch of ornaments, ignored the beautiful women throwing him flirtatious glances, and went out to continue shopping. It was really lively here. He then started buying things everywhere. By the way, there were quite a few nobles strolling leisurely on the street, accompanied by all sorts of followers, all of whom were human.

“Strange,” but looking at the street, Senju felt something was off. After looking closely for a while, he noticed the problem: the henchman’s magic seemed to be stronger than that of the nobleman. How could that be?

This situation might be possible in other worlds, but in this world, the definition of nobility is not only based on bloodline, but also on power. People without magic power, or even those with weak magic power, cannot become nobles.

“Hmm,” after a brief look, Senju quickly understood that the ‘nobles’ he had thought of were actually second-generation nobles, not true nobles. The attendants he saw were patients with body-eating disease collected by the nobles, whose lives were extended by signing contracts, and then made to serve as guards.

"Indeed, the nobles here discovered their identities long ago."

"How could I not take advantage of this? Frida is one of them," Thousand Hands muttered to himself. No wonder he hadn't found many magic apprentices; someone was stealing his business.

Then Qian Shou remembered what he had said to the merchant guild boss: maybe there really were 'fairy soldiers' here. After all, nobles usually collect patients suffering from body poisoning, so there was no reason why the royal family wouldn't do it.

Shaking his head, Senju didn't do anything. Although he took advantage of people's vulnerability, those patients who were devoured by the body were able to survive because of the contract. He had no reason to interfere. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been better to just shatter Frieda's contract back then?

Regardless of the matter, Senju continued to stroll around. This place was truly bustling. However, what was with the rock candy being sold as a gemstone? And the seasonings—were the prices too high? The prices of pepper and such left Senju speechless. It truly was a world with an ancient Western theme.

After wandering around for a while, Senju went home as it got dark. Even the high-end restaurants here couldn't compare to Bailey's cooking. The culinary culture here is so underdeveloped; the cooking methods are all inexplicable. Senju only saw one famous chef boil some vegetables and then use the boiled vegetables to make dishes. How could that possibly taste good?!

The next morning, Senju, while eating bread and cake, went to the riverbank. The stolen items had been returned. She wondered what those thieves would think, but it was none of her business now. If they dared to steal again, it wouldn't be so easy for them. There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. That's so true.

After putting together a chair from planks, Senju waited leisurely for a while before Myne, carrying a basket, and Lucci, carrying a pot, came over. After greeting the strange man sitting there, they started boiling water to cook something. Senju looked over curiously and asked, "Myne, what are you going to cook?"

"It's not for eating anymore, it's for making paper!" Myne emphasized, then looked at a pile of white paper on the side, "Uncle, aren't you going to learn along?"
