Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of Barbatos. When they first met, Barbatos had also acted as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Mona spoke up, "Wait, wait, why are you mimicking an old woman?"
"Old woman? That tone... could you be Mona...?"
"You know me too?"
"Of course, what brings you to Mondstadt?"
"The old woman asked me to come and get a box from you..."
"Oh, you mean that diary? I remember leaving it with Klee. Did you get it?"
"I've already received it."
"That's good. Remember to give my regards to your master when you get back."
"I will."
"This lamp hasn't been lit for many years. When I saw it suddenly light up just now, I thought it was a message from my best friend from Girls' Generation... I remember we entrusted this lamp to the wind god Barbatos. It seems you guys have found the token hidden by the wind god. You're quite capable."
"What wind god?"
"Huh? You didn't know? Then where did you find this lamp?"
"The lamp is on this table."
"You wouldn't happen to be at my beloved tea table, would you?"
"It looks like a tea table."
"It's unbelievable... It seems the Wind God has tacitly approved of your ascent here."
"Huh? It has nothing to do with the wind god."
How did you get onto the island?
"You came up by car."
"What car?"
"It's a hovercar."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, as if they were organizing the information they had received.
Mona asked, "So, what did you mean by the gathering you just mentioned?"
"Ah, that's an old story. You know the Witches' Guild, right? It sounds like a secret society..."
Alice slowly recounted the events of the Witches' Guild and briefly introduced some of its members.
The Witches' Guild, codename A: Alice.
The Witch's Guild - Code Name J [I. Ivanovna N]
The Witches' Guild - Code Name R [Rhinedoth]
The Witches' Guild - Codename M [Andersdorf]
Witches' Guild - Code Name B [Barbie Ross]
The Witches' Guild - Code Name N [Nico]
……
Ying'er asked, "So, this is the legendary meeting place of the witches?"
Alice's voice came from the lamplight: "Yes, we always gather here to chat and drink tea."
Zhu Zi asked, "Then... what does it mean that the person who finds the lamp will be happy?"
"That... hahaha, I didn't expect that someone other than J would actually see the prophecy. I'm so embarrassed. Actually... it was a letter that a few of us sisters sent to J on the eve of her wedding."
"Letters written together?"
"The four words, 'The Flower That Doesn't Exist,' 'The Guide Who Never Loses His Way,' 'The One Who Doesn't Lie,' and 'The Legend That Never Ends,' correspond to four witches. When one of the witches leaves the group to spend the rest of her life with her beloved, the other witches write this prophecy and send it to her as a way of calling her back..."
Fischl couldn't help but interrupt her, asking, "Doesn't that correspond to four different books?"
"Books? It has nothing to do with books..."
"How could it not be related to books? The note and map were found in books in the library."
"Wait a minute, something seems off. How did you manage to find us?"
Mona explained it to Alice.
Alice paused for a moment, then laughed: "So that's how it is, it's interesting..."
Mona asked, "The four words you just mentioned correspond to the four witches...?"
"The non-existent flower, as the name suggests, refers to a flower that does not exist in the world. This is the code name R, the signature of [Gold] Rhinedot. If anyone in the world can create a non-existent species, it is probably her."
Charlene's expression changed slightly when she heard the name.
"The guide who will never lead you astray is a message from Nico, codenamed N. You may not know her yet; she is a mysterious woman who cares about direction. Some of you here may be lucky enough to have heard her voice. Only when the world occasionally changes will she reveal the truth to people like a prophet. For example, she likes to speak into someone's mind out of thin air. If one day you encounter great danger somewhere, she may guide you with her voice."
Xia Zhen seemed to be deep in thought.
"The person who doesn't lie is the code I left behind. Please don't be offended, because Alice, codenamed A, has always liked sincere people."
Klee laughed.
"As for the never-ending legend... you may not know Ms. M, but you may have read her works. Have you read 'The Wild Boar Princess'?"
Mona immediately said, "That note was found in this fairy tale book."
Xia Ci looked at the chairs around the long table, but seemed more interested in the remaining witches who hadn't been introduced yet: "Who are the other witches?"
Alice didn't directly answer Xia Ci's question: "Alright, I'll introduce the other members to you later. I have some other things to take care of, so I'll stop here for now. Oh, by the way, Mr. Xia."
Alice called Xia Zhi's name again, this time alone.
Xia Zhi lowered his head: "Is there anything else, Mrs. Alice?"
"I just want to pass on a message to you."
"Oh? Who?"
“An unofficial member of our Witches’ Guild.”
"Unofficial member?"
"Actually, she's a strange girl who never attends tea parties. She always says she's different from us; she's not a witch, but a magical girl."
Upon hearing the words "magical girl," Qiqi and Fischl were immediately taken aback.
Xia Zhi's expression changed slightly as he asked, "What's her name?"
"Her name? I don't know either. I only know that her code name is [X]. She joined the Witch's Guild just to get us to help her find someone."
"Find someone?"
"That person is you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Ci narrowed her eyes slightly.
The code name [X] is actually an abbreviation of the pronunciation of the surname Xia.
Chapter 494 The Messenger from Sumeru (4K)
The lights went out.
Alice's voice fell silent.
Xia Zhi originally thought this trip was just a treasure hunt to play with the little girls, but he never expected that things would end up involving him.
The members of the mysterious society, the Witch's Guild, are not all witches; there is also an even more mysterious magical girl.
Witches and magical girls, although they sound similar and easily evoke the image of a relationship between women and girls in the same camp, this assumption is actually very wrong.
Because the continent of Teyvat has always only had witches, not magical girls.
The magical girl's special transformation ability was born in Xia Zhi's hands.
While acquiring knowledge about how to use the power of faith, he suddenly had an interesting idea in mind because of some movies and TV shows from his original world. He then tried to realize it and eventually succeeded.
The first magical girl to appear was Nana.
A few days ago, a second magical girl appeared, Fischl.
Perhaps there will be a third magical girl, a fourth magical girl...
But now Alice says that she met a magical girl hundreds of years ago, and that the girl seems to be relentlessly searching for him in this world.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but have some doubts about Alice.
He wasn't doubting whether she was lying, after all, she was someone who didn't lie, and besides, it seemed pointless for her to tell him such a lie.
He doubted whether the magical girl she was talking about was actually a magical girl like Qiqi or Fischl.
If that unknown magical girl also possesses a transformation item, it is highly likely that Xia Zhi gave it to her at some point in the past, just as Xia Zhi met Barbatos and Alice at some point in the past.
But this will raise a new problem.
