I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

"Transfer".

The clear rises to the top, while the turbid sinks to the bottom.

The underground world fell silent.

Duke and Cecil each supported Amber, who was on the verge of fainting, while Duke looked up at the miniature planet in the sky, picked up the recorder, and read out the third sentence:

"After the next sunrise and sunset, everything will come to an end, and the black prince living on the miniature planet will also meet the end of his fairy tale."

The next instant, Duke and his two companions vanished from the underground world.

The underground world fell into complete silence.

Chapter 413 I Have Never Grown Up

Duke and the other two returned to the surface and stood outside the chaotic crowd. Everywhere they looked, there were people in disarray, some who had just been transported from the underground world, and others who were natives... What they all had in common was that they were all troubled by the rules of the constantly emerging alternate dimension world.

Duke casually picked up the unconscious Amber, carried her on his back, and then looked at Cecil beside him: "Guangbao, how are you feeling?"

"what?"

Cecil scratched his head, not understanding what Duke was asking.

"I'm talking about your condition. How much did the action of locating spatial coordinates just now take to exhaust you?" Duke sighed, rolled his eyes at the simple-minded Guangbao in front of him, and said irritably, "Are you alright?"

"Oh, it's alright." Cecil chuckled, sensing Duke's concern. She made a gesture of strength towards Duke and said easily, "No problem. I'm still in a good enough state to fight Norton... Oh, I mean the Norton from our world."

"..."

Fortunately, Norton from this parallel universe isn't here right now, otherwise he would be furious to hear Cecil's words.

Seeing Cecil like this, Duke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Guangbao was still the same familiar person he knew, which made Duke, who had been on edge, relax a little.

However, we shouldn't relax too much, since things aren't over yet, and maintaining a proper level of tension is necessary.

"Cecil, let's go."

"I'm carrying amber," Duke said softly, then strolled forward.

"Where?"

Cecil followed Duke without hesitation, and then saw him raise his hand and point to the highest point of the floating city.

After a thousand years of different development, the two floating cities in the parallel world have become almost completely different. Their neighborhoods and urban planning are completely different. After all, the core of this floating city is in the underground world. Excellent urban planning is used to plan the underground world, and the surface city is a cyberpunk slum.

Even amidst these slum-like streets, Duke immediately recognized this as a floating city, not only because he saw the city standing above the clouds, but also because he immediately spotted the highest point of the city on the ground.

The highest point of the floating city is a clock tower.

"Huh?" Cecil was slightly taken aback, then her expression became somewhat subtle. She immediately remembered her last and only date with Duke before their falling out, so she said somewhat awkwardly, "Wh...why are we suddenly going there?"

"Let's go see the sunset, let's go see the sunrise."

"Duke, carrying amber, said softly."

But after hearing Duke's answer, Cecil's expression became even more subtle. It's no wonder she was love-struck, since their date had included watching the sunrise over the floating city from the clock tower, which directly matched what Duke had said.

...Amber is still unconscious, isn't this a bad idea?

Such a thought flashed through Guangbao's mind, but his body very obediently quickened its pace, even approaching Duke, and took the initiative to say, "Shall I take you directly up?"

“Sure.” Duke nodded, his gaze still fixed on the sky, seemingly waiting for something, unaware of Cecil’s ulterior motives. “Let’s go.”

So Cecil reached out his hand to Duke.

After witnessing Duke and Amber's romantic, passionate kiss, Cecil's already somewhat restless desires began to stir again. She had already secretly kissed Duke's cheek in the Dark Sea, experiencing the thrill and shamelessness of cheating on her best friend with a man, and now, stimulated by the passionate kiss, she was eager to try it herself.

Cecil even considered taking it one step at a time, preparing to fly up with Duke in his arms and experience the feeling of being deeply in love.

But when the plan was actually implemented, the brilliant Guangbao realized a problem... Duke was carrying Amber on his back at that time, and she didn't have a wide enough arm span to hug Duke who was carrying Amber.

And she certainly wouldn't have the guts to hug Duke from the front, but if she managed to hug them from behind... wouldn't that be like putting poor Amber in a sandwich?

Damn it! When is it any different for her to hug Amber? It doesn't matter if it's just a little while. Besides, this way of hugging her is just giving Duke a free ride. Cecil knows Amber's size. If she really uses this sandwich hug, not only will Guangbao not get any enjoyment, but Duke's back will get a good ride too.

This won't do!

"No... what are you struggling with?" Duke looked at Cecil, who was caught in a dilemma, and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. "Can't figure out how to take us flying? Then I'll teach you. You take off first."

"Oh."

Cecil obediently nodded, then spread his wings of holy light and took flight.

The onlookers, who had been in a state of chaos, turned their attention to them when she spread her angelic wings. Many even began to plead with her for help. These pleas distracted Cecil, and she instinctively looked in the direction from which they came, but quickly looked away.

“Very good. You didn’t give up your judgment because of the painful pleas. You were able to tell that those who have the ability to plead are not in dire straits in the current floating city and the ground city. True justice should not be based on who makes the most noise.” Duke raised his hands, signaling Cecil to raise the height a little more, and praised, “I didn’t expect Cecil to have grown so much.”

“I have never grown up.” Cecil shook his head, then whispered in the direction from which the pleas had just come: “I want to protect those who need protection.”

As soon as she finished speaking, having already exhausted herself considerably, she once again used her legendary destiny, condensing a beam of holy light that transformed into an arrow. This arrow flew towards all those who had pleaded or failed to plead, creating a temporary shield to protect them.

This protection isn't strong, but it can still keep them somewhat safe.

Then Duke saw Cecil extend his hand to him, smiling as he said:

“I’m stupid. I don’t know how to really solve the problem. I can only clumsily save everyone I can see in front of me… But Duke, you’re smart. I believe you can use my power to eradicate the root of all these problems, save this floating city, and save the floating city that belongs to us.”

"Duke, can I trust you?"

Okay, that's just who she is.

It can't be changed... but thankfully there's no need to change it.

Duke sighed helplessly, then looked up and said:

"of course."

Chapter 414 Cecil was filled with determination

"Duke! I have a lot of issues with you!"

Cecil huffed and puffed, but Duke looked up at her innocently and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?"

Cecil: "?"

"You have the nerve to say that?! So this is how you taught me to take you guys off? Grab my legs and fly with me?" Cecil's eyes widened, and after glancing down at Duke carrying Amber, she angrily added, "And don't look up, I'm wearing a skirt, you pervert! You scumbag! You creep! Amber!"

“I didn’t see anything,” Duke said with a straight face. Judging from his gentlemanly expression, it was as if he hadn’t looked up at all… or even if he had, he definitely hadn’t glanced at Cecil’s skirt. “Amber has become an adjective now. Be careful she wakes up and fights you.”

“It’s alright, Amber doesn’t mind being seen as a pervert. (Because it’s true.)” Cecil said nonchalantly. “Besides, she can’t beat me.”

"That's the key point, isn't it?"

Of course, Cecil flew very fast, and the two didn't bicker for long in the air before arriving at their destination.

"We've reached the highest point of the floating city—the clock tower! The clock tower is so beautiful. Oh, isn't that Cecil? Let's look at the sun in the distance instead."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cecil rolled her eyes as she put Duke and Amber down, ignoring Duke's usual rambling nonsense. She took Amber from Duke and silently channeled holy light into her body to nourish it. She had kept her promise to Duke, transferring all the residents of the floating city's underground world to the surface world and all the visitors from other dimensions to an even deeper level within the floating city's underground world.

Such a difficult task also took a heavy toll on Amber. Her current coma was entirely due to the excessive consumption of power. The power of Duke's divine body is too difficult for mortals to control, and Amber had used this power to perform such a high-level operation. It would be strange if she hadn't consumed a lot of energy.

After handing Amber over to Cecil for care, Duke squinted and began to observe the entire floating city from the ground.

Amber was already doing a great job getting them out of the underground world, so she had no time to care where those pampered nobles who had been living in the underground world would end up after being abruptly transferred to the surface world. She basically assigned them randomly, stuffing them wherever there was space, depending on whether the transferred person was lucky or not.

If the person being transferred is truly unlucky and is casually stuffed into an empty toilet, or even a latrine where no one is using it, it's not Amber's fault—it's just your bad luck. It's recommended that you go to a martial arts temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha.

But for Duke, this is very important.

He found the Mirror of Radiance, put the monocle-like device on his eyes, and used it as a telescope to carefully search for something on the ground.

Cecil, who was holding amber, came closer and asked curiously, "Duke, what are you looking for?"

"Find people." Duke was busy searching for people and casually gave a few perfunctory words. "Several people who will play a key role in the following process, such as Ida, Alice, Monica, and Xiao Hei... Especially if you can see the divine fire, it means you have found Xiao Hei. Be very careful—after all, Zi Yuan's mythical weapon should have entered the cooldown period. The only mythical weapon on the ground now is Xiao Hei's."

"Oh, then I'll help you look for it!"

Guangbao volunteered, holding Amber in her arms and channeling gentle holy light into her body, while sitting next to Duke, searching for a specific person in the floating city's ground city.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to the night of her first date with Duke. They sat side by side on the clock tower at the highest point of the floating city, just like that. However, it was their first date, and they didn't know each other at all before. The next day, she received the devastating news and angrily broke off her relationship with Duke.

But now, everything is different.

They are now very good friends, and even more than friends; there is a different kind of feeling between them.

At least I really like Duke.

As Cecil searched, he stopped looking down at the people on the city streets who looked like ants, and instead stared intently at Duke's profile beside him, who was still searching for something.

"Hey."

A sudden impulse welled up in Guangbao's heart.

When Cecil became a near-legend and used the legendary destiny for the first time, she realized that she was someone who was unwilling to wait or compromise, someone who wanted to do what she wanted to do... And now, Cecil has become a legend with this belief.

So Cecil responded to the impulse that welled up inside her, looking at Duke's profile and smiling as she said:

"Duke, I like you."

Duke was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned his head to look at Guangbao sitting next to him. He saw a stunningly beautiful smile. Cecil's smile at this moment was like a ray of light, shining on this place, shining on the place where the darkness of fate could not reach.

Duke was infected by her smile and couldn't help but smile back, about to say something... but in the next instant, he noticed something else.

Uh...

If he wasn't mistaken, Amber, who was being held in Cecil's arms, quickly opened her eyes and then quickly closed them again.

"Huh? It was a bit windy just now. What are you talking about?!"

Duke, a notorious scumbag in the floating city, seemed to foresee a tragic future of carnage and chose to spout nonsense almost without hesitation.

He had heard it very clearly, but he still calmly spoke:

"Huh? Cough cough, it was a bit windy just now. What were you talking about?"

Cecil: "?"

Guangbao blinked, then her face quickly turned red. She hurriedly turned her head away, trying to pretend that nothing had happened. But a second later, she turned her head back with a determined look, her eyes fixed on Duke.

It seems she wants to replicate Amber's signature refresh technique, which she used long after the Sleeping Beauty game.

Cecil was full of determination.
