Original God's Dark Priest

"The non-existent flower, as the name suggests, is a flower that does not exist in the world. It represents the codename R 'Gold' Rhinedotte. She is also the mother of Albedo and Seele."

Seele shrank her neck: "She is Albedo's mother, not mine..."

It can be seen that she is still a little concerned about her identity as a failure.

Saphir reached out and ruffled her hair, chuckled and said, "It's okay. Sooner or later, you will be strong enough that even she can't catch up. By then, you won't need her affirmation anymore."

"…Really?" Xier held Safir's hand, pouted, and looked aggrieved.

In fact, parental affirmation is extremely important for a child, and Xier is no exception. It is hard for her to imagine what she would become if she had not met Saphir.

Saphir nodded, confirming his statement.

It doesn't matter whether Rhinedot acknowledges Xier or not, because having her is definitely enough.

Saphir, she is no worse than the members of the Witch Society.

Then she continued, "If there is anyone in the world who can create species that do not exist, it must be Rhinedot. After all, there have been several examples of her creating species that do not exist, right?"

After talking about the first one, Saphir thought for a moment and continued, "And the guide who will never get lost is the witch Nicole Lane, codenamed 'N'. This person... well, is quite mysterious.

Some of you here may not know her, she is a magical woman who cares about direction. "After a little consideration of the word, Safire decided to use the word magical.

After all, calling someone a weirdo in front of Alice is really disrespectful.

Alice then added: "Some of you here may be lucky enough to have heard her voice. Only when the world occasionally changes, she will hint at the truth to people like a prophet."

Hearing Alice's supplement, Ying showed a thoughtful expression. She had indeed heard strange noises, whether in Xumi or Mondstadt, including this Wind Flower Festival. In fact, she followed Saphir to the Midsummer Courtyard in part because she heard someone mention this matter in her ear that morning.

"For example, she likes to speak out of thin air in a person's mind." Alice's voice sounded like a thunder in Ying's ears.

There's no doubt about it, it must be the work of Nico Lane!

Alice didn't know what Ying was thinking, she was still introducing herself: "If one day you encounter serious danger somewhere, she might point you in the direction with her voice."

"There are so many mysterious women in the world, and they know each other..." Mona fell into deep thought.

As she fell into thought, the place suddenly became quiet.

After a few seconds, there was still no sound. Alice tapped the instrument gently, and then everyone heard a very dull tapping sound, and Alice's nagging voice: "What's going on? There's no sound all of a sudden? Is it broken? Hey, hey, hey, little Saphir? Can you hear me?"

"You're already a mother, yet you're still so impatient." Safir replied, proving that he was not disconnected.

Hearing Saphir's response, Alice smiled awkwardly, then immediately coughed lightly as if nothing had happened, and then continued: "People who don't lie...Haha, you should introduce yourself. It's quite embarrassing to introduce yourself."

"Oh? But I think you are lying, Ms. Alice." Safir curled her lips. She really suspected that this title was a way for Alice to flatter herself.

But she did not refuse. After thinking for a while, she said, "Well, as Ms. Alice said, the person who does not lie is actually her. Uh..." Seeing Kelly's expectant eyes, Saphir finally did not say anything outrageous to destroy the image of a mother in her child's mind.

"Ms. Alice, as the witch codenamed 'A', has always liked sincere people. Sincerity must be isolated from lies. Even a child can understand this, right?" Saphir said this to Kelly.

The little girl hugged Rimuru and nodded vigorously: "Klee should also learn from her mother and be a person who doesn't lie."

The corner of Saphir's mouth twitched. It was right not to lie, but learning from Alice... was not necessary.

In many cases, this guy is more like a scourge than a witch who protects the world.

Nodding perfunctorily, Saphir briefly broached the subject and introduced the last witch: "Finally, this is the never-ending legend. How can I describe this one...

Rather than being a witch, she is actually an ordinary human being. Unlike the previous ones, her lifespan is very short, only less than a hundred years.

Therefore, this witch 'M' has actually passed away a long time ago. The reason why she is called the never-ending legend is mainly because of her achievements. Many people have read "The Boar Princess", right?"

"The Boar Princess?" Sugar was a little surprised. "All the children in Mondstadt should have read this series of books..."

Saphir nodded: "This is one of the works of the witch M. She is a great author who can create classics that will be passed down through the ages with her pen. That's why it is a never-ending legend."

"Yes, Ms. M is a very great human being. She taught me how to feel sad with her writing. It's not too much for such a person to be called a witch, right?" Alice seemed to be asking a question, but in fact she was just emphasizing her opinion.

It's useless for others to have opinions. After all, the so-called Witch Club is Alice's group of close friends, and others can't interfere.

Listening to Alice's words, little Paimon scratched his head in confusion: "This is getting more and more wrong..."

"It's incredible, but I can testify that this is all true." Scarlett had recovered from the shock of seeing Saphir, "J is also a human, so she aged and died, leaving her title to all the disciples."

At this point, she gradually mustered up her courage. She felt that she really needed to question this witch who had lived in the same era as Witch J: "Ms. Alice, you have never acknowledged any successor of J. It has been hundreds of years since my generation came to me... I have always wanted to meet you."

"Do you want to be a witch too?" Alice did not refuse Scarlett at first, but asked with interest.

Scarlett thought about it and shook her head slightly. She had this idea, but for her, the answer was more important: "Rather than becoming a witch, I have always wanted to know what the witch society means.

I originally thought that you were a group of women who could control the fate of the world. But today, I discovered that there are other ordinary people among you besides J."

"Do you dislike us?" Alice asked in a joking tone.

Scarlett waved her hands immediately. She didn't dare to respond. "No, I think it's very interesting. I want to become a witch even more."

Hearing Scarlett say this, Alice was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "I have never acknowledged any successor of J, but you are different. You are much more interesting than them."

"Aunt Alice, who always does things based on her interests, is she interested?" Allowing a junior to join the Witch Society has never happened before, so Albedo was a little surprised.

Alice did not answer this question, and of course, did not express her intention to let Scarlett join the Witch Society. Instead, she planned to meet this interesting girl in person and learn more about her former best friend, Witch J, and the story after she left.

So she said, "Although not now, I will come to see you as soon as I have time, Scarlett. I want you to tell me about J's story in his hometown after he got married."

Pimeng's not-so-smart brain finally came to its senses and summarized, "So, the witch that her companions sent a prophecy letter to is J? She left the Witch Society after she got married?"

"Yes, the letter we wrote to her had only one meaning. She understood it at first sight. The four sentences in the letter were all us talking to her - 'Come and see us, before you move towards happiness, come and share the joy with your best friend and most important sister.'" Alice missed the past very much, and she felt a little melancholy when she said this.

Cole was moved by such friendship and couldn't help asking, "So what does it mean to be happy..."

This question is not easy to answer.

Because everyone's interpretation of happiness is different.

Some people hope to be wealthy and think that being rich is happiness.

Some people hope for peace and prosperity and believe that health is happiness.

Some people hope for a good harvest in the golden autumn and believe that harvest is happiness.

Some people hope to have enough food and warm clothes, and think that stability is happiness.

……

Everyone pursues his own happiness, but everyone's happiness does not apply to others.

So Alice did not define happiness arbitrarily, but explained it from another perspective: "All processes are just processes, and what makes us happy in the end is the person we meet at the end of the journey.

You should understand, right, the child who asked this question? We women always have many troubles and encounter many problems worth worrying about.

But we are willing to climb mountains and cross oceans to meet our most important friends. No matter how long the distance is, no matter how far the journey is...

As long as they are beloved friends, they will make us happy. In the eyes of us witches, this is the meaning of "happiness". "

Alice's answer was very general. She did not jump to conclusions, but told Cole how to find happiness.

Happiness is not something that can be easily obtained. If you think you are unhappy, it means you are not satisfied with the current situation.

If you want to change the status quo, you must overcome difficulties and obstacles, endure all kinds of tests and hardships, and reach the end of the long journey. Only then will happiness appear in front of you.

It was the first time that Klee heard such a profound topic from her mother. She hugged Rimuru to her chest and said in a low voice: “Klee doesn’t quite understand, but Klee knows that witches are all my mother’s friends.”

Saphir rubbed the little girl's head, chuckled and said, "Kelly doesn't need to understand, because Kelly is the happiest child.

Klee has friends around her, including Dudu, Jean, and Albedo. Everyone is showing kindness to her, so Klee is living a happy life. "

"Klee...are you really happy?" Klee asked cutely, blinking her big eyes.

Rimuru agreed with this statement: "I think so too. Everyone in Mondstadt is pampering you. It's really enviable."

Rimuru himself was actually pampered by the whole country in the Demon Federation. Now that this clone has come here and been placed next to Klee, there is actually not much he needs to do. He just needs to be a mascot and accompany Klee.

Precisely because he has been favored, he can better feel how great the love that Kelly has is.

Knowing that her daughter was living well in Mondstadt, Alice was in a good mood and continued, "Actually, to me, the Witch Club is just a group of women who spent their youth together.

Just like what Safir said, it's called a group of besties. So, becoming a witch and joining the Witch Society are not the same thing. The members of the Witch Society are all about my age.

Well, I will introduce you to the other members later. I have some other things to do here, so I will stop here for now."

Realizing that Alice was about to hang up the call, Klee quickly took two steps forward: "Goodbye, Mom! Rimuru and Duduko, say goodbye to Mom too!"

"Goodbye, baby! And my dear children, I believe we will meet again." Alice said, and suddenly thought of something, and added, "Oh yes, speaking of which, it should be coming soon... that day."

The so-called day is naturally the Wind Flower Festival.

It's hard to believe that a busy person like Alice would remember this holiday.

Mona made it clear so that others wouldn't think this was some new riddle and speculate for a long time: "It's the Wind Flower Festival again, Ms. Alice."

"It's also a special anniversary. You should remember it very clearly." Scarlett nodded. You know, Witch J once said goodbye to other witches here during the Windblume Festival, so the Windblume Festival is indeed a special day for her.

After Scarlett's reminder, Alice came back to her senses immediately: "Yeah, I remember it. A long time ago today... J got married.

What a coincidence, it is the festival of love and freedom again. Everyone, have fun at the Wind Flower Festival. "

After saying that, Alice hung up the call, and the light slowly went out, becoming ordinary.

Everyone stood here for a while, and then left one after another.

Safire didn't move, but chose a seat at random and sat down, while Scarlett stood quietly beside her with her head down.

Seeing this, little Paimeng wanted to step forward and say something, but was pulled back by Ying and left.

Soon, Saphir and Scarlett were the only ones left here.

Because there was no one else around, Scarlett began to get nervous. After a moment of silence, she finally mustered up the courage to speak, but was interrupted by Sapphire.

"Sit down." Safire pulled out a chair and asked Scarlett to sit down.

Scarlett was a little flattered and sat down on the chair tremblingly.

After she sat down, the light that had been extinguished came back on, and Alice's voice came out: "Well, has everyone else left?"

"Well, everyone has left. There's only Scarlett and I here." Safire picked up a cup, looked at it carefully, frowned and shook his head. The quilt here was covered with a layer of dust after not being washed for a long time. It could not be used without washing it clean.

Alice was not surprised by this result at all, and said directly: "Saphir, join the Witch Club."

"Ah?" Scarlett was stunned and stood there in a daze.

Although she claimed to be J's successor, she was never actually recognized.

Although Alice said that she would go and see her in person, that hasn't happened yet. Scarlett now has nothing to do with the Witch Society.

Playing with the cup in her hand, Saphir was not surprised by Alice's request. She slowly said, "I thought I had already refused once."

"That was you before. It doesn't mean you will still refuse now, right?" Alice was sure that Safir would not refuse this time. She was confident.

Saphir was somewhat speechless about Alice's mysterious confidence: "Asmodeus told me that Su is dead. Even though she is Saphir, Aurora is not Su. Similarly, I am not the witch SU."

"You, already know it." Saphir mentioned Witch SU, which proves that she really knows a lot of things.

"Witch SU?" Scarlett blinked. This was another name she had never heard of.

Safire ignored Scarlett's confusion and looked at the flickering communication light. The red light reflected in her black eyes, and no emotion could be seen.

After a long time, it seemed that the confrontation between the two of them had come to an end. Saphir spoke first: "Su left a letter to Rosaline in my name, but it was signed as SU Aurora Saphir. From that time on, you have been targeting me, right?"

"Targeting or something... Actually, at that time, Su was not dead. You know it very well, don't you? Her disappearance started when you realized her existence..." Alice's voice became low, and she was obviously sad about the departure of her friend.

Being aware of the existence of another self, and then being swallowed up by the laws of heaven and earth...

Safir held his forehead with his hand. Was this the end of his previous reincarnation?

"Live like a summer flower, die like an autumn leaf... Although it is not earth-shattering, it can still be considered spectacular."

But, Zhongli... was deceived again.
