Amber swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, looked at the cavalry captain, and said, "Kaiya, you have planned this in advance, right? These ingredients are much more than what I ordered!"

"I've been discovered. I did have this idea. Since we're inviting friends, why not just come together? It's more lively with more people." Kaiya said with a smile.

Mo Ran said shockingly, "I like to be surrounded by people. This is the phenomenon of most empty-nesters who are too lonely. Captain Kaiya should be careful."

"Why should I be careful? I'm not the oldest person here."

Diluk glanced at this guy who was always looking for trouble, and thought about bringing up the tavern's debts next time and giving him a good beating.

The picnic went on as usual. After eating and drinking, Mo Ran and You La sat back to back, glancing at the noisy crowd from time to time, sometimes saying a few words to relax, feeling very comfortable.

"Strange! I didn't eat cereals at noon, so why am I still a little sleepy?" Eula yawned. She usually ate meat for lunch because it wouldn't make her sleepy easily, but today's situation seemed a little different.

Mo Ran stretched out his arms and embraced her. He didn't notice any signs of illness. He couldn't help but look confused and worried.

"Mo Ran, what's the smell on you? It makes me feel sleepy." Youla turned around and lay in the arms of a man in black, her nose moving slightly.

"On me?" Mo Ran raised his arm and smelled it carefully, but found no difference. He frowned, unable to understand why.

"Mm, it smells so good. I feel so safe." Eula leaned on his chest, her eyes half asleep. Her defenseless look made people's hearts soften.

Mo Ran held her in his arms and turned her in a direction where no one could see him, because he didn't think he should let outsiders feast their eyes on her as she was his own wife.

Just as they were feeling bored, a piece of paper with words on it floated down from the sky in the sunset glow, like a fallen dove that had to land alone, waiting for its companion to return.

The sharp-eyed scout knight was the first to notice the fallen paper, ran over to pick it up, and read under the gaze of everyone: "Hello, friends from all over the world."

"I am the Red Witch who keeps the Lamp of Ultimate Bliss. I am issuing a mission to the easy-going young man in black clothes and black hair among your group. Please bring someone who is destined to come and see it."

"The young man in black clothes and black hair, that must be Mo Ran, right?" Paimeng looked at the man in black clothes standing beside him.

"Well, what is a destined person?" Kong asked.

"Let me see." Amber continued to read: "The following are the destined people, Miss Fox who loves research, the musician who came from afar, the lovable little witch, and the low-key alchemist."

"And... three other travelers from the world, and the lovely Wave Knight who doesn't stick to family rules!"

Ying half lowered her eyes and said, "It's just short of naming names."

"The source of this letter has not been investigated clearly. If you want to accept the invitation, please be more careful." Although the man in black is extremely powerful, as a friend, Qin still gave a warning.

"Don't worry, captain. There won't be any damage at all." Mo Ran raised his hand and created a standing wind field. After all, they were all people who had fought against the devil, so it was normal for them to use more elemental power.

Bring all the people marked on the list to the sky, but the title of Miss Fox who loves research can only be used to describe Sugar with the first half of the sentence.

Although it has fox ears and walks on tiptoe, it wears glasses and easily blushes when talking to people it is not familiar with. It does not look like a fox at all.

After flying slowly for a while, we finally saw an island in the sky. There were several figures standing on the island. They were gathered around a long table, talking about something.

Keli blinked her eyes, slowly recognized the people, and said, "It's Sister Mona, and Sister Gongsi, and another sister I don't know."

"Hello, my name is Scarlett." The woman dressed in Zhidong Country said with a smile.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "It's the person we met on the street just now, but why is he here? And Mona and Shen Zi too, what's going on?"

Mona, the astrologer wearing a blue witch hat, spread her hands and said, "I don't know what's going on here. After reading a letter suppressed by Mora, I decided to come here to take a look."

"What about the Son of God?" Paimon asked.

Before the fox could speak, Mo Ran spoke first: "Anyway, she was definitely not invited."

"Haha, it seems Mr. Mo Ran is very hostile to me. I wonder what the reason is?" The Eightfold Son of God walked over with lotus steps, his eyes full of charm and enchantment.

"No need for a reason, if you want it you will have it, just follow your heart." Mo Ran embraced his wife, looking very proud.

"Oh, forget it. I have important things to do right now. We can reminisce about the past later." After saying this, Yae Shen Zi looked at the woman dressed as Zhidong.

The rest of the people also looked in the direction. Under their gaze, Scarlett spoke slowly, "That is an ancient women's gathering. Each member uses a letter as a code name, and most of the people who come here now are related to them."

Mona suddenly realized and said, "I didn't expect it...it seems that the power was indeed left by the old woman."

"So you are the disciple of 'B'. I didn't recognize you just now. My apologies. I am the successor of 'J'." Scarlett said with a smile.

"What does this mean?" Paimon covered his head, feeling dizzy.

Sand Sugar whispered, "I, I'm not sure either."

Apart from them, there was a group of people who also looked confused and had no idea what it meant. Such a confusing interpretation was indeed upsetting.

Scarlett smiled and said, "This has to start with an ancient story, but should it really be a story told by me?"

As she spoke, she walked over to the long table, on which a lighted lamp was placed, and beside the table were seven chairs with numbers engraved on them, but only two of them were placed under the parasol.

I don’t know if this difference exists because the parasol is too small, or because the people sitting on the two chairs have higher status.

"The lights are on, so next..." Scarlett uttered something like a spell: "Please allow me to disturb your peace."

As if prophecy had come true, the light began to flicker, as if someone was fiddling with the wick inside. A slightly playful and mature voice came out: "Hey, why is this thing lighting up now? I haven't fixed it yet."

"Madam, can you hear me, over there?" Scarlett called out.

"Is it mom?" Ke Li recognized the familiar voice. It was her mother who had not come back for many years.

"Hmm? Such a young voice." Alice's mumbling came out from the wick again.

"Hello ma'am, I'm Scarlett, J's heir."

"Ah, ahem." Alice cleared her throat, and the voice coming from the other side of the lamp became more serious and upright. "It's been a long time since we last met, and it's unbelievable that J's heir has become so reckless."

"Wait a minute." Mona stopped him, "Why are you talking like an old woman?"

"This voice, old woman? Are you Mona?" A normal voice came out from the other side of the lamp again.

"Who is it that dares to imitate my master!" Although Mona called her master an old woman, only she could call her old woman and no one else could.

“Ahem… humph, so what if I imitate? Describing and learning from humans is a meaningless and foolish act.” Alice lowered her voice, like a young man who saw through the world.

Albedo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aunt Alice, I'm here too."

"Ah, ahem... Meeting is fate, can you lend it to me?" The voice on the other end of the lamp became deep and rich again, carrying a full sense of security.

Now it was Mo Ran's turn to speak, "Mom, since Albedo is here, shouldn't you think about who wrote the letter and asked who to bring who here?"

Keli also asked: "Why does mommy want to learn how to speak like others?"

"Ahahaha, so everyone is here. I thought I would have to wait a while before I could meet everyone. It seems I underestimated you!"

Mona looked puzzled and said intermittently: "Ms. Alice... why are you..."

"After all, this light hasn't been on for many years. Although I invited you to gather here, I didn't expect you to contact me so soon. I thought I had to wait a little longer."

Alice continued, "You all must have had a hard journey here, so let me tell you an ancient story! Ahem..."

"You know about the Witch Society, right? It sounds like a secret society. They were bold enough to challenge the God of Wind, but he said: No need for a duel. Let's play the harp and sing to end the fight with poetry."

Mo Ran touched his chin and muttered, "I always feel like Barbatos is just trying to get rid of me, but he still accepted the challenge in the end. Could it be that... he didn't win the poetry contest?"

He spoke quietly so no one else could hear him, so everyone continued to listen to Alice.

"So from then on, the witches only held meetings in the following places: in the woods, on the cliffs, and in the sky, bringing stories and secrets, and resolving conflicts over tea."

"Witches do not fight each other. Tea and delicious cakes will bear witness to this oath!"

The following words were no longer spoken by Alice now, but were recordings left by other members.

The witch codenamed J, who chose to spend the rest of her life with her beloved, said with a sense of loneliness: "Yesterday, I killed the man I loved. He was old and very sick."

"I love him so much that I take on his fate and end his suffering!"

The witch codenamed R created many alchemical creatures and spread dark filth to Teyvat. Her voice is like that of a noble lady, with a dignified temperament.

"I raised a son, many children, and finally he was the only one left. Does this count as being a mother?"

The witch codenamed M was originally an ordinary woman. In her limited life, she wrote a collection of stories to accompany her friends in the future.

"My life span is not as long as yours. In the future, it will be my storybooks that will accompany you, and your children."

The witch codenamed B is an astrologer.

"Ah, this is interesting. Let me do some divination."

The witch codenamed A, Alice, chuckled and said, "Don't let the prophecy affect the good relationship between us, dear sisters."

"No matter how scary a witch is, she was once a little girl. And girls should grow up by now, right? That's why they tell their troubles to the wind."

"Whether the nations are at war or the sky is falling apart, no matter what the world becomes, the witch's tea party will always be held here."

After hearing this, those who understood understood, and those who were still confused became even more confused. Perhaps this explanation requires the next explanation.
