There is no problem with the magic cards I made

Chapter 237

Fortunately, Dekan knew in advance that the warden on this floor was not very grumpy.

As long as you don't provoke her, she probably won't take the initiative.

Check the situation, bypass her, and go to the fourth floor.

Durkan thought.

As an eighth-level warden, he didn't want to fight the boss alone.

then.

Durkan walked through this rather comfortable maze.

I thought this maze would be complicated.

As a result, he quickly figured out which way to go.

the reason is simple.

There are signs on the road!

Directly pointed out the way to the fifth floor!

And these signs were all real. It didn't take long for Dekan to follow the signs and find the portal leading to the fifth floor.

These signs along the way should have been made by the warden.

She obviously just wanted the jailer who came to this floor to leave quickly and not bother her.

"What kind of bastard warden is this..."

Dekan was even a little curious about the mechanism of this warden for a moment.

It turns out the sense of security on this level is not an illusion.

It’s so damn safe!

## Author's Note:

Sorry everyone, there are only two updates, and the additional updates are not coded. Today, after class during the day, I was caught and tortured by the professor again. I just started typing in the evening. I have only finished two chapters and I really can’t stand it any longer.

I will be relieved temporarily on Saturday. I will definitely update more and finish the fourth level of the story in one go.

I also drew a picture, which is at the back~

Volume 4: Endless Purgatory: [Standing Painting-Dekan]

The first vertical drawing is out

Picture: "Lihua-Dekan", location: "Images/1661544534-100315868-109264935.jpg"

The original picture is in the group, the group number is 948957812

The little succubus form is expected to be released in September, and the little succubus form is not a standing drawing, but an illustration with a scene.

Next, determine the drawing order of subsequent characters through voting. You can reply with any content after the name of the character you want to see first. You can select multiple times.

I will determine the drawing order of subsequent vertical paintings based on the number of posts from high to low. If there are other vertical paintings you want to see, you can also reply in the posts.

ps:

Every 1,500 monthly tickets will add an additional portrait, and the reward will end at 24:00 on August 31st. Rounding up, there is no upper limit.

At present, it seems that more than 11 vertical paintings will be released. At the end of this month, there is no upper limit of 5 monthly tickets. Dads who still have monthly tickets can consider voting. For details, please see the chapter [Monthly Ticket Reward] on August 24th!

Volume 4: Endless Purgatory: [Sequence of subsequent drawings]

Let me explain two issues about Dekan’s vertical painting. First of all, this vertical painting shows what Dekan looks like when he is a human being (pretending to be a human being). If you don’t take into account Dekan’s behavior and the situation when he is having fun, the vertical painting is What is presented is the normal state of Dekan.

Second is the hair color. Since the church illustration in Volume 3 of Ridkan is backlit, the gray will be more obvious or darker. However, the vertical painting is in a normal lighting environment, so the upper part is whiter, and the sides and back of the ears are actually very obvious gray.

As for Yan Yi, if Dekan makes a scornful expression, it's almost because he's a demon or he's having fun torturing the boss. Therefore, unlike the official portraits, Zuidekan (Sunshine Boy) will be presented in the form of emoticons or additional portraits in the future. The additional portraits will not occupy the portrait quota for this reward. I will spend money separately to make an appointment. draft.

Judging from the voting, the next standing figure is Master Craftsman, and the next one is Cornelia, then Mie, Ice Princess, and Teacher Cat (in human form).

I didn't expect the cat's popularity...because it won't appear in human form in the main story, so I ignored it from the beginning. Let’s take a look at the drawing order of the other characters. If the difference is not obvious, I will sort them arbitrarily.

So far, a total of 5,000 monthly tickets have been received from the reward, which is converted to 5,000/1,500 = 3.33 vertical paintings, rounded up to 4, plus the 7 vertical paintings that Xi Xi Quan originally made an appointment with, for a total of 11 vertical paintings. At present, it seems that in the last four days, it is possible to get the monthly ticket to 6001 votes. For this extra vote, I will also round it up and calculate it to 1500 votes to add additional vertical drawings. It is estimated that the final number will be 7+5 =12 vertical paintings.

There shouldn't be 13 pictures...

In addition, in addition to the illustrations for the third volume (the church priest and nun) and the fourth volume (the little succubus prison guard, which is expected to be released in September), there are no illustrations for the fifth, sixth and seventh volumes yet, although I still want to add one to each subsequent volume. Secondary illustrations, but illustrations are indeed a bit difficult to handle. Illustrations are much more expensive than vertical paintings. The first two illustrations cost a total of 8,000 yuan. If you add a dozen vertical paintings, it is equivalent to spending more than 20,000 yuan on the accompanying paintings.

In fact, I have seen readers say that I have so many paintings out of interest. This is true, but it is also a little inaccurate. On the one hand, I am really serious about writing novels, but on the other hand, spending money like this is a lot of money for me. All the money I spent was earned by myself. Before I started writing novels, I was teaching while studying for graduate school to make money. Now I no longer teach. I am studying for graduate school and writing novels at the same time. It’s really tiring to stay up until two or three o’clock every day. , even a bit of a krypton life, every penny in the card can be said to be my own hard-earned money. It has been a long time since I asked for money from my family. It's more like generating electricity for love than out of interest. As long as this novel can get better, I won't regret it even if I give all the royalties back to this book. I have always just wanted to do everything well with one heart and one mind. .

From now on, one picture will be published almost every week, but there may be a slight deviation in the time. For example, if there is no drawing one week, and two pictures will be produced the next week, it is possible. Anyway, the frequency is about 4 to 5 pictures per month. You should be able to see new pictures every week until the book is finished.

I will probably at least make an appointment for one illustration myself. The painters and wives I have chosen are very reliable, so please rest assured about the quality~

If I want to add more illustrations, I may open another monthly ticket bounty for illustrations in October. Others offer bounties to make money, and I open bounties to spend money. It’s pretty stupid when you think about it carefully. I am simply a little genius. In addition, at the end of this month and next month, I will try my best to code out the 30 chapters I still owe. At the end of September, there should be a regular monthly ticket reward, and the reward content will be additional updates.

I've said too much, let's continue typing, let's burn it!

One more thing to mention, there is Cornelia’s opening tweet tonight. Thank you again for everyone’s support last month! This is the result of everyone’s joint efforts, and it is a push that belongs to everyone! cheers!

Volume 4: Endless Purgatory: 234 Dekan: Enemies meet on a narrow road

"I really want to go directly to the next floor."

Dekan shook his head and sighed to himself.

The rules at this level are too strange and absolutely disadvantageous to the jailers.

If he really had to fight against Altis, the Knowledgeable One, in this environment, Dekan felt that it would be difficult to judge the odds of winning.

From a strategic point of view, it is undoubtedly the best option for him to quickly go to the fifth floor.

But he had to confirm whether there were companions on this level.

Only as a jailer can he take his companions to other levels.

Mission objective 2 of the Shadow World requires that all members must leave the Demon World.

This prison can only go down but not up.

Send any challenger down.

So Dekan still has to observe everywhere in this prison.

In addition to the 4 members of their Beautiful Mind team, there are 6 challengers in total.

In other words, there are two other people who have to be found together.

So Dekan turned back in front of the portal leading to the fifth floor, turned around and left, and began exploring in the maze library.

…

In a spacious hall on the fourth floor of the Demon World Prison.

Every few seconds to tens of seconds, you will hear the crisp sound of the chess pieces lightly touching the chessboard.

This place looks full of life, like a combination of a study room and a living room.

Although it still has the feel of a classical library, it is also the office of Warden Artis.

Artis was sitting on the sofa. She was looking at the chessboard on the table and thinking seriously. Her face was as perfect as a sculpture. If she didn't blink her eyes from time to time, it would be difficult to tell whether she was a work of art or a living thing. things.

She doesn't look like an ordinary demon, on the contrary, she gives people the feeling that she is the embodiment of reason.

At this time, besides Artis, there was a young man sitting opposite her.

Although the young man was wearing prison uniform, Artis didn't seem to embarrass him.

There were no wounds on his body, and there was even a cup of tea fragrant with malt on his side of the table.

"Is this tendency to like to set traps in chess a common human trait, or is it just your preference?"

"My personal preference."

They exchanged words from time to time.

It didn't look like they were arguing or chatting, just one or two quiet voices coming from time to time.

Playing chess quietly most of the time.

Just as Artis was staring at the chessboard, deciding where to place the chess piece next, her hand that was stretched out in the air suddenly stopped.

Someone's arrival seemed to have attracted Artis's attention.

She looked up.

He frowned and looked at the visitors in the hall.

It was obvious that Artis did not welcome the sudden visit of the jailer.

"You won the bet, and the jailer came down so quickly."

Artis looked at the young man opposite her expressionlessly and said.

They made a bet before——

About whether a jailer will be coming down in two weeks.

If she wins, the young man will teach her some human magic she doesn't know.

And if the young man wins, she needs to give the jailer a chance to take him away.

From a probability perspective, her chances of winning are definitely greater.

Because she knew very well how often a jailer would appear on the fourth floor.
