I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

"No, Bane, how can you be so annoying? Duke hasn't even agreed to it himself yet."

Although Bain didn't seem to be planning to stop her from dating freely, his domineering and disobedient nature was exactly what Amber hated about him. Now, her rebellious streak resurfaced, and she hid behind Duke, shouting fiercely:

"Don't meddle in other people's business."

Duke hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I..."

He hesitated for a long time, unable to finish his sentence, which made Bain raise an eyebrow:

"You're not planning to reject Amber's confession, are you?"

But Duke didn't answer Bain's menacing question; instead, he suddenly collapsed.

Bain and Amber were both startled and quickly supported him from both sides, preventing Duke from falling to the ground. Even so, he still fell into a coma.

"Duke?!"

Everyone present changed their expressions slightly, especially Amber, whose face showed a mixture of surprise and self-reproach. Just as she was about to carry him to the clinic she was familiar with, the witch who had been waiting outside walked in.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return... Uh, what happened?"

……

"Unfamiliar ceiling."

Duke opened his eyes somewhat dazedly. The pungent smell of potions filled the unfamiliar room. After hearing his familiar lines, the other person in the room got up, still waving the strangely colored potion in his hand, and asked curiously, "Did you deliberately fall into a coma to avoid a love debt, Duke?"

"I really was unconscious, okay?" Duke said somewhat guiltily. "I wasn't pretending to be asleep..."

To be honest, he was in very bad shape at the time. The weariness of his soul made him almost fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, and he also had an uncontrollable feeling of dizziness. But if he was in a fighting state, he could overcome the fatigue and dizziness with perseverance.

In other words, if Duke didn't want to fall into a coma, it was entirely possible for him to do so.

However, given the circumstances at the time, he chose to escape by falling into a coma.

"Don't worry, I sent Amber and the others back. You can deal with your romantic entanglements when you get home. I'm all alone here." Witch Eve shrugged, then asked gossipily, "I've heard about everything. What exactly do you think of little Amber?"

"I...haven't decided yet."

“Tsk, young people these days are terrifying. When I was young, a kiss was fast-forwarded to the wedding.” Eve sighed at the decline of morality, then handed the purple-green and green-red potion in her hand to Duke: “Here, drink it.”

Duke took the potion, examined it for a moment, and then, with an expression of someone about to be executed, pleaded, "Can I not drink it?"

“No, you can’t heal the damage to your soul without drinking it,” Eve said seriously. Her serious words made Duke realize the seriousness of the problem. He picked up the potion in his hand and drank it all in one gulp before hearing her continue, “I’ll have to switch to a more conservative and reliable potion.”

"Pfft, cough cough cough!"

Duke coughed violently, followed by Eve's laughter.

After drinking the strangely colored potion, the vague discomfort he had felt gradually subsided, and he felt much more refreshed.

"Just kidding, this is a special medicine designed specifically for you. There's no better potion in the world. Take all of these, one a day. With these medicines, you can leave. Your injuries aren't serious; you just need to rest."

Eve casually tossed out five more small bottles identical to the previous potions. Duke quickly caught them, put them in his pocket, and then got out of bed.

But just before he was about to thank Eve and leave, she suddenly pointed to Duke's chest:

"Also, you should have someone take a look at the thing on your chest. There's an antique shop in the west of the city called 'Yesterday's Time,' you can ask the owner about it."

Chapter Ninety: This one is even more heavyweight.

"Also, you should have someone take a look at the thing on your chest. There's an antique shop in the west of the city called 'Yesterday's Time,' you can ask the owner about it."

Duke was slightly taken aback. He quickly opened his shirt and looked down at his heart.

Three lines of sheet music he couldn't understand were imprinted on his chest like a tattoo.

The memories he had temporarily forgotten due to his slumber quickly returned, and he recalled what he had done in the witch game and how these three lines of musical score came about.

The evolution of runes brought about by neon lights.

The soul-soothing melody played by the insect arrow.

The combination of these two elements forms the three lines of musical score, and his ability to force someone to grant their wish and cause the entire alternate dimension to collapse was entirely due to the power of these mysterious three lines of musical score.

Duke sensed a hint of doubt, but he didn't realize he had forgotten anyone.

"The proprietress you're talking about is Fei?"

"Oh?" Eve looked surprised, and said with a mix of surprise and teasing, "I didn't expect you to even know Lady Scarlet... No wonder you're the living legend of the Floating City, the time management master envied and hated by countless adventurers, the nemesis and dream lover of all witches, Mad Duke!"

Duke: "..."

Eve smiled and waved her hand, then said with a slightly more serious tone, "I saw the runes on your body in that antique shop before, which is why I asked you to go and inquire about the situation. Perhaps Ms. Fei knows something."

After Eve mentioned it, Duke belatedly realized that the dark runes that appeared on his body from the neon "evolution" bullets seemed to have a similar effect to the runes used to seal the eight large cabinets yesterday.

He nodded solemnly: "I understand. Once I've recovered, I will go to the place of yesterday."

After saying this, Duke thanked Eve, took his leave, and left the unfamiliar room.

This place originally belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was the City Lord's infirmary.

The old steward who had brought them in was now patiently waiting at the door of the infirmary. When Duke came out, he led him out of the rather complicated city lord's mansion. To be honest, the city lord's mansion was really complicated. If he were to leave on his own, he would definitely get lost.

However, despite being in the city lord's mansion, Duke never saw the current city lord of the floating city, nor had he seen Ms. Carol since he transmigrated... Logically speaking, Carol's activities in the floating city were very frequent, yet he had never seen her, which was quite a coincidence.

"Even a major event like the Crown-level Witch Game couldn't bring out that city lord?"

Duke shook his head regretfully and left the city lord's mansion.

……

“Carol.” Eve sat in a large chair, casually crossing her legs, and asked softly, “Duke has even met Ms. Scarlet. Was that also your arrangement?”

"Just a coincidence."

A figure suddenly appeared behind Eve, resting his arms on the back of the chair, and whispered in Eve's ear, "Stop with the conspiracy theories, Eve. How could I possibly control Ms. Scarlet?"

The one who appeared was Carol, the current lord of the floating city.

"In other words, can you control other people?"

“I didn’t say that.” Carol tried to reach for Eve’s beautiful body, but Eve immediately brushed her away. Then she complained with some resentment, “Those mute insects escaped again.”

"Even you couldn't catch up?"

"We caught up with her, but we couldn't stop that girl named Talia..."

Carol hesitated for a moment, then simply shook her head.

The Witch of Time was a true legendary witch, but even with her personal intervention, she couldn't stop Talia from escaping.

"Look on the bright side, at least the Crown Witch Game didn't escalate into a major incident, did it?"

“But,” Carol couldn’t be optimistic, “sigh…at least everyone’s alright.”

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Eve suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke up to stir things up:

"Speaking of which, your boyfriend is about to start dating a new girlfriend."

Carol: "?"

"And not just one, I heard he kissed two people in just one hour."

Carol: "???"

"What should we do, Carol? If you don't step up soon, it looks like you're going to become a loser!"

"...Hehe, and what about you, an old peony who's hundreds of years old and still has your first kiss?"

Goodness, this one is even more heavyweight!

"?" Eve exclaimed anxiously, "How are you any better than me?"

Carol immediately puffed out her chest proudly: "I'm a hundred years younger than you!"

The two, who were just moments ago showing deep sisterly affection, suddenly began hurting each other.

……

Duke did not go directly to yesterday's time.

The three lines of musical score on his chest remained stable, showing no abnormalities or effects. Those runes had originally greatly enhanced Duke's base attributes, but after transforming into this form, they lost their bonus. However, Duke was not disappointed, because he understood that mastering the power of the Soul Requiem was far more powerful than those base attributes.

Duke reaped considerable rewards from the witch's game.

First, there's a chance to win a prize as a reward for completing the Witch Game. In the past, this would have been a life-changing opportunity, but today it's a negligible bonus because the other rewards are ridiculously extravagant.

Duke received the quest reward, the Insect Arrow, after completing the daily quest "Golden Experience Requiem".

Although he had already used it once during the Witch Game, this thing was obviously reusable—it's just unknown whether the same person could be stabbed multiple times. If so, he might as well stop training and just stab himself once a day until he became invincible.

Secondly, the most rewarding aspect is clearly the favorability system.

Amber's Affection Level: Intimacy.

[Witch Amber's affection level has reached Intimacy, you can claim a reward.]

[Item: Displaced Coordinates, already generated.]

[A 10-pull coupon has been generated.]

[Natasha's favorability rating: Passionate.]

Cecil's favorability rating: Friendly.

Duke has already claimed the reward for Natasha's affection level reaching "Passionate" in the Witch Game. The "Truth Codex" is arguably one of the strongest items for conquering the Witch Game, even more useful than Natasha's own Gate of Truth.

After a Crown-level Witch Game, Amber's affection for Duke reached its maximum, reaching an unprecedented level of "Intimacy." Not only did she give Duke a brand-new item, but she also directly provided him with ten chances to draw a prize.

Not to mention the Soul Requiem with its unclear effect on the chest and the rewards that the Floating City will provide.

Duke can be said to have had a great success this time.

Even so, he couldn't lift his spirits. The events before he fell into a coma kept replaying in his memory, and Eve's seemingly casual question still echoed in his mind:

"What exactly do you think of Little Amber?"

He pondered the answer to this question with great distress.

"Hi, Duke."

A cheerful greeting interrupted his thoughts. At the door of his apartment, Duke met Amber, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
