I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

Of course, the grand prize of these twelve consecutive wins must be the cheat item of "Hypermum Iron Chicken". The reason why Duke dared to cooperate with Monica and even dared to "tease" this legendary witch was because of the cheat item and the confidence brought to him by the "I Want" gun (a reward generated by the favorability system after Cecil's favorability reaches intimacy).

However, the seemingly unorthodox item, the Enchanting West Coast, actually has many uses.

After leaving the Dragon Ant world, Duke and Cecil tested this item together. The item's effect, as displayed in the system item panel, was:

[Item Effect: After use, transforms the surrounding environment into a beautiful resort beach, rapidly enhancing the relationship between men and women who enter. The user can freely modify the beach's specific stats. However, only creatures wearing swimsuits or completely naked can be brought onto the beach.]

The tests they conducted included several items listed on the prop panel, namely, "can quickly warm up the relationship between men and women who enter," "the specific data of the beach can be freely modified by the user," and "only creatures wearing swimsuits or completely naked can be brought into the beach."

First and foremost is the fundamental rule of the Enchanted West Coast: "Only creatures wearing swimsuits or completely naked may be brought onto the beach." This is unquestionable. Even Duke himself had to wear swim trunks to enter the Enchanted West Coast, let alone Cecil... Even the mechanical half-dragon Zun had to abide by this rule, either wearing a swimsuit or completely naked.

But it has to be said that Guangbao's legendary destiny is really outrageous. She is clearly not yet a legend, but that "I want" spear seems to be omnipotent. As long as she wants, Cecil can use it to forcibly enter the small world of the Enchanted West Coast.

However, to do this, she needed to expend a great deal of power, and since she didn't object to wearing a swimsuit in front of Duke, her willpower wasn't that strong, which directly made it difficult for Guangbao to stay on the West Coast for an extended period of time.

In other words, the small world created by the allure of the West Coast has very powerful basic rules, and only a legendary destiny capable of dealing with it can possibly contend with it in a short period of time.

By the way, the lazy person's magic wardrobe has pretty good taste in clothes. Even for someone as thin as a certain brand, it did its best to choose a swimsuit that could highlight her feminine charm. Whether it was the style of the swimsuit itself (with padding) or the classic truth of "squeeze it in and you'll have more", Duke actually saw some curves in Cecil's chest, which moved both Duke and Cecil to tears.

But the other two points besides the basic rules seem rather useless.

Duke and Cecil couldn't figure out the point that "it can quickly warm up the feelings between men and women who enter it." After all, the affection level of a certain Guangbao was already high enough to be intimate. Duke knew very well that she coveted his body. How could he measure the change in affection level?

Is it possible that Cecil might be unable to resist taking advantage of him?

That's impossible, of course. Putting aside whether Cecil would learn from Amber's excellent experience, if he really did something so audacious... could Duke's current prosthetic body even stand up? It doesn't even have that ability, you know!

The statement that "the specific data of the beach can be freely modified by the user" makes it seem like Duke has absolute control over this small world. However, the actual performance is quite poor. Duke can only change the temperature, wind force, etc. in the small world. He cannot even change the current time on the beach. Moreover, the specific data he can manipulate is limited. He can only adjust the temperature of the Enchanting West Coast within the normal range and cannot adjust it to -273.15 degrees Celsius all at once.

But besides what's written in the system item panel, this enchanting little world on the west coast can do many other things, such as smuggling people out of the memory world.

After the sound of clothes rustling ended, Duke turned around and cast a stunning glance at Monica in front of him.

The Shadow Witch was constantly surrounded by dark shadows, which in turn highlighted the whiteness of Monica's skin. The heavy feminine burden on her chest was wrapped in tight black fabric, and the black hole in her chest did not affect her beauty. On the contrary, it gave her a mysterious and eerie aura.

Looking down, one sees long, white legs that are dizzying to look at, their elegant and alluring curves complementing the golden ratio style, making one involuntarily want to touch them... or perhaps even feel a desire to be trampled on.

"Hmph, are you satisfied now, you pervert?"

Monica crossed her arms and looked at Duke with a cold expression, but Duke wondered if he was imagining things, because he felt that her cheeks were flushed with a shy blush.

Duke shook his head, snapping himself out of the stunningly beautiful scene before him, and coughed somewhat guiltily: "I'm really not a pervert, I have no choice, this is the only way you can leave here."

Having said that, he waved his hand, signaling Monica to hurry to the alluring West Coast, and said, "You can answer now."

Monica glanced at him, snapped her fingers lightly, and a large shadow suddenly condensed around Duke, transforming into four longswords that pierced the ground in front of, behind, to the left and right of him.

After she finished doing this, she spoke softly:

"Because Monica's experiment was about how to become a shadow creature living in a higher dimension, she succeeded and transformed herself into a shadow creature."

The world's will did not respond, because she, standing on the alluring west coast, had already left the world of memories, so Duke repeated her answer:

"Because Monica's experiment was about how to become a shadow creature living in a higher dimension, she succeeded and transformed herself into a shadow creature."

"Correct answer!"

The will of the world resounded, and at the same time, Duke heard a tearing sound in the air. One of the four shadow swords surrounding him was also twisted and destroyed by some powerful force in an instant.

Duke sensed the fluctuations in space. The four shadow swords that Monica had set up were enough to ensure his safety and prevent him from being torn apart by the shadow monsters hidden in the higher dimensions before he left. So he took this opportunity to shut down the Enchanting West Coast.

The azure sea, the enchanting beaches... all the beautiful tourist attractions vanished in an instant, and Monica and Xiao Hei disappeared together.

Strictly speaking, "Enchanted West Coast" can also be considered a witch's game, which is why Duke was able to smuggle them out of this world of memories.

However, this method can only be used once... because the next memory world will definitely be his memory world.

"Let's go, let me see when this memory is from?"

The next instant, the scenery before Duke's eyes changed abruptly, and he was transported from the interior of the Shadow Lab to a desert.

This is Duke's world of memories. He can feel a vague connection between himself and this place, but Duke is certain... he doesn't recognize this place, and he has never been to the desert before.

Where is this?

Chapter 257 The Little Prince and the Drunkard

Where is this?

Duke frowned.

He was certain that such a place did not exist in his memory. Duke had never been to the desert, neither in his past life nor in this one. But when he was in this place, he felt a sense of familiarity and could clearly feel his connection to this world.

This is his world of memories, Duke is certain of that.

"Was it that witch's game that I can't remember the details of?"

Duke muttered a few words to himself, then shook his head and activated the Enchanted West Coast. Immediately afterward, the sea breeze and the azure sea appeared in the desert, allowing Monica and Little Black, two shadow creatures of different sizes, to emerge from the beach.

Xiao Hei, wearing a one-piece school swimsuit, hopped and skipped ahead, while Monica, wearing a top-and-bottom bikini that accentuated her figure, followed behind with a dark expression.

Kuro used to be used to moving around in her cat form without clothes, so once she switched to her black catgirl form, she had a bad habit: she didn't like wearing clothes. She would often throw on a tattered cloth and run away. If you asked her to wear clothes, she would complain unhappily... However, judging from the fact that she didn't complain, Kuro actually quite liked this close-fitting school swimsuit.

Monica clearly didn't like her bikini. She followed behind Xiao Hei, gathering shadows as she walked. After leaving the Shadow Lab, she was finally free and no longer had to worry about using shadow magic to attract monsters from higher dimensions. So she simply used shadows to create a set of clothes that were almost completely unrevealing, covering her fair skin.

After donning this conservative outfit that almost covered her face, Monica finally set foot on the land of her memories.

In terms of tactile experience, there is no difference between the Enchanted West Coast and the New Memory World.

On one side is a sandy beach, and on the other side is a desert with no end in sight. They are both sand and there is really no difference between them.

"Is this your world of memories, Duke?" Monica frowned. "You don't seem like a warrior from a desert tribe. In other words, is this the witch's game you once experienced?"

"Maybe so, I don't remember."

"What? You don't remember?"

Monica made a sound of surprise.

After Duke unearthed the enchanting West Coast, her opinion of him improved considerably. In her view, such a crazy and mysterious guy couldn't have his memories easily erased—in other words, anyone who could "ambush" Duke must be someone of exceptional skill.

As the former lord of the floating city, she maintained a hands-on approach during her tenure decades ago. She was intimately familiar with all the information about the floating city and knew the people there who were above the hero level. Such beings were generally long-lived and difficult to kill, each a great menace destined to live for millennia. A few decades was nothing to them.

"Who tampered with your memories?" She looked at Duke, frowning as she voiced her guesses: "Carol? Or Talia?"

These two are legends in the floating city with similar abilities, and they are absolutely qualified to make Duke lose his memory.

“I can only confirm that it wasn’t Talia who did it,” Duke shrugged. “By the way, she’s dead. I did it.”

"what?"

Monica stared wide-eyed at Duke for a long time, finally discerning the part of him that belonged to Talia. The former city lord swallowed hard; she had already raised her opinion of Duke many times, but she never expected him to be able to kill such a veteran legend.

Duke's madness and the miracles he created always seemed unbelievable, and even Monica found it difficult to maintain her icy composure in his presence.

But she quickly realized that Duke had no intention of recounting his heroic deeds, and she didn't care. Monica was the former lord of the floating city, while Talia was merely one of the leaders of the mute; their statuses were not on the same level, and Monica had never taken Talia seriously... After all, could Talia possibly influence the entire floating city?

Clearly, Monica had no idea of ​​Talia's true purpose, let alone that she had been planning something big for hundreds of years. Even with Lady Scarlet's personal involvement, she almost managed to bring a Crown-level witch game into the real world and the floating city!

Because of her underestimation of Talia, Monica quickly suppressed her surprise. It was indeed surprising that Duke could kill her, but what was more important was clearly not that, but rather:

"So, was your amnesia caused by Carol?"

“Probably so.” Duke sighed, not going into details, but saying ambiguously, “I don’t remember that part at all, I only know that Carol was around me during that time.”

Monica's eyes lit up, but she didn't speak rashly. Instead, she pursed her lips and pondered something.

Duke's words and his true experiences, a web of truth and falsehood, wove together a tangled web of lies that bound Monica, creating a ingrained belief that Duke and Carol were enemies!

For Monica, who wants to make a comeback, Duke, who is intelligent, has strong trump cards, and has a grudge against Carol, is the perfect partner in every respect!

I must win over Duke, not only to have him take me away from Babel, but also to bring him to my side after we leave Babel... at all costs!

Monica made a snap of her fingers, and the shadow that had been enveloping her body slowly moved, removing the shadow garment that had previously concealed all skin, revealing a bikini and her curvaceous figure.

Duke gave her a strange look, clearly unaware of what was going on in her mind.

He didn't have time to think about what Monica was up to; instead, he frowned and looked around at the situation.

They were in a desert that seemed to stretch to the horizon, but there was something in sight. Not far from them was the wreckage of a machine emitting black smoke. Monica and Xiao Hei couldn't tell what it was, but Duke, from the technological world, recognized it as half an airplane.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in their field of vision.

Duke frowned, not daring to approach the plane rashly. Instead, he raised his head, waiting for the world's will, which was already slightly late, to ask the question about this world of memories. If this world truly originated from the witch's game from which he had forgotten the process, then this was also an opportunity for Duke to understand why he had lost that memory.

After a long while, as if it had finally figured out what question to ask, the belated World Will finally uttered its question:

"After meeting the Little Prince, the drunkard could not find his wine bottle."

"why?"

Duke was slightly taken aback.

Chapter 258 The Little Prince

"After meeting the Little Prince, the drunkard could not find his wine bottle."

"why?"

Upon hearing the question about the will of the world, Duke was slightly taken aback, as some of his memories resurfaced with it... not memories of the witch's game, but a fairy tale he had heard in his previous life.

The Little Prince.

Duke had indeed read "The Little Prince" in his previous life. It was indeed a good work, a fairy tale that could remind adults of their innocent childhood, a world classic suitable for all ages... But before the World Will asked this question, Duke had no recollection of the work at all—neither the plot of "The Little Prince" nor its very existence.

Upon hearing the words "The Little Prince" and "drunkard," previously missing memories surged forth like a tidal wave. As if waking from a dream, Duke pressed his forehead; he still couldn't recall the entire plot of *The Little Prince*, only a short section:

The story of the Little Prince and the drunkard.

Having left his own planet, the Little Prince visited one planet after another. These planets were so small that one could see a maximum of forty-four sunsets a day, and the people living on these planets were often all alone.

The Little Prince arrived on a new planet where a drunkard lived. He sat silently on the ground with a large pile of bottles in front of him, some filled with wine and some empty.

The Little Prince asked him what he was doing, and the drunkard replied:

"I'm drinking."

The Little Prince asked him why he drank alcohol, and the drunkard replied:

"In order to forget."

The Little Prince felt sorry for the drunkard, so he continued to ask him what he wanted to forget. The drunkard replied:

"To forget my shame."
