Dekan Decided to Follow His Heart

"What about information regarding the Warden?"

Dekan decided to stop worrying about the fourth layer.

At worst, we can just pass through the fourth level at the speed of light; it won't be a big problem.

Although he might miss some intelligence, he can gain a significant time advantage.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

The Jailer replied, "No magician can defeat the Warden."

"... That's it?"

Dekan didn't have high hopes of obtaining any particularly valuable intelligence.

But after spending 2000 Demon Point, all I got was a Cornelia- style abridged version of the information!

However, it's still much better than the riddle information on the first floor.

This information is easy to deduce.

The Warden possesses absolute resistance to magic.

Or it could break the spell.

That would be a real headache for Dekan.

Most of his methods rely on magic.

If he could only use equipment and summoned creatures to fight a ninth-tier demon, he couldn't think of a way to do it.

More information is needed.

Dekan then inquired about the supplies that could be purchased from the Jailer on the third floor.

However, according to the Jailer's answer, apart from the special dishes in the dining hall, everything else was pretty much the same as what could be bought on the first floor.

These general-purpose supplies should also be available at other tiers.

There's really no need to add a bunch of stuff to the burden right now.

Just as Dekan was about to leave, the Jailer suddenly asked him from Dekan:

"Are you interested in something beyond supplies and intelligence?"

"Speaking."

Dekan stopped and turned around, seemingly surprised.

"I can activate delivery service for this floor for you, it will cost 3000 Demon Point."

"That's what the Jailer said."

Although the cost-effectiveness of such delivery services is generally not something prison guards would consider.

However, considering that Dekan must possess Demon Point that even the guards on the third level would find unimaginable, he asked about them.

"For example, could you deliver the special meals from the third floor to other floors for me?"

Dekan quickly returned to the Jailer's side and asked.

Although the feature sounded absurd, Dekan couldn't deny that he was indeed tempted!

"Sure, once you activate this permission, you can use the Demon Bracelet to place orders in other tiers, and I will quickly dispatch what you need to the portal of any tier below through a special channel."

The Jailer nodded and answered affirmatively.

"Purchase!"

There's nothing to hesitate about!

He's wealthy!

When you're out having fun, you can't neglect your friends!

Everyone, make sure you eat well!

Dekan originally wanted to buy some good food to take with him, but he considered that it wouldn't be convenient to pack a lot of food to carry around.

That would be fantastic if they could deliver!

Moreover, this delivery service can reach any floor.

Even the Exile Zone can be delivered!

I wonder if there will be tiers where trade is not allowed later on, so having a portable shop is really great!

Dekan thus purchased two intelligence and delivery service functions for a total of 5400 Demon Point.

I have a decent amount of Demon Point. After deducting the 3000 Demon Point needed to teleport to the fourth floor, I'll still have 10965 left.

This is all thanks to the generous donations from the owners of this floor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so comfortable.

Dekan happily walked to the portal on the third floor and headed to the fourth floor.

After his Master's guidance, he had understood.

I now have a feeling that my heart follows the path I take, and my path in life is always broad.

There's really no need to torture yourself or Tata anymore.

Some things are destined from the very beginning.

The more he tries to do something unnecessarily, the more things will backfire.

I'll sincerely apologize to Tata when I get back.

Everything will be alright.

Soon, Dekan arrived at the fourth level.

Based on the pattern of the first three layers, Dekan was mentally prepared for the fourth layer to be a terrible environment.

Unexpectedly, the fourth floor felt just as good as the third.

The spacious area that greeted Dekan's eyes was like a maze, but every wall was lined with books, giving it the feel of an old library.

At first glance, everything from the carpet to the lighting fixtures is exceptionally clean, indicating that someone must be taking good care of it regularly.

Stepping into this area, the subtle incense seemed to help him relax, allowing him to savor a cup of tea and find a good book to enjoy a pleasant afternoon.

This feeling quickly put Dekan on alert.

The Jailer on this floor seemed unusual, giving him the illusion that this floor was very safe.

At this moment, he could finally see the rules of this level.

[Greed Prison]

[On this floor of the prison, guards cannot proactively attack prisoners or other guards or damage facilities; otherwise, they will lose 90% of their Demon Point or 100 Demon Point, whichever is greater.]

[The Jailer can execute guards and prisoners at will.]

[The Jailer can assign tasks at will. Completing tasks earns Demon Point, which can be used to exchange for resources. Demon Point are freely tradable.]

[To proceed to the fifth level, you need to pay 4000 Demon Point, or possess permission from the fourth-level Jailer.]

"These rules... how come the Jailer on the fourth level is so arbitrary..."

Dekan murmured.

Leaving aside the fact that this layer imposes strict restrictions on the arriving prison guards—they cannot launch attacks or damage the facilities.

The Jailer was completely unrestricted!

Although the jailers don't have their Demon Point deducted daily like those on the first and third floors.

However, the Jailer might not necessarily give you a job to earn Demon Point!

If you don't have enough Demon Point to cover the teleportation fee, you might find yourself in a dead end!

It's like being stuck on the fourth floor, unable to go up or down.

If she angers the Jailer, she might even kill the jailer herself!

Fortunately, Dekan knew beforehand that the Jailer on this floor didn't seem to have a bad temper.

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

Let's see how things go and just bypass her, then go to the fourth floor.

Dekan thought to himself.

An eighth-rank Jailer, he had no intention of facing a boss alone.

Then.

Dekan wandered through this rather comfortable maze.

I had thought this maze would be very complicated.

He quickly figured out which way to go.

The reason is simple.

There are signs on the road!

It directly shows you how to get to the fifth floor!

Moreover, these signs were genuine, and it didn't take Dekan long to find the portal to the fifth floor by following the signs.

These signs along the way were probably put up by the Jailer.

She clearly just wanted the jailers on this floor to leave quickly and stop bothering her.

"What kind of scoundrel of Jailer is this...?"

For a moment, Dekan was even a little curious about the exact mechanism behind this Jailer.

It turns out that the sense of security from this layer wasn't an illusion.

It's damn safe!
