I picked up this little grass god.

To everyone's surprise, the resurrection poem failed to bring Katsina back from the Kingdom of the Night God.

The two people who had previously caused trouble for Katsina in the lounge also stood up and questioned this victory, for which Malani angrily argued with them for several words.

In the end, it was Mavica who stood up and made them quiet down. She proved that the victory was beyond doubt, but it was also a fact that the resurrection poem could not successfully rekindle Katsina.

In order to prevent more victims from emerging before the investigation is complete, she announced that the Holy Night of Return to Fire procession would be suspended for a period of time.

After that, Liu Bai, Malani and others followed Mavica to the meeting place.

"Since the situation is urgent, I will get straight to the point. Katsina is undoubtedly our Nata's hero. I am sorry that this happened."

"There has been unexplained unrest in the Kingdom of Night God, Katsina has disappeared inside, and I have no way of locating her."

“Until the cause is found and resolved, the resurrection poem will not be able to play its original role.”

Arriving at the meeting place, Mavica directly explained Katsina's situation to everyone.

Then Mavica expressed some of her own speculations. Judging from the attacks suffered by the Flowing Springs in the past few days, the Abyss may have found a new way to try to undermine Nata's rules.

If the Holy Night of Returning to the Flame procession and the Night Watchman War continue, there may be more victims like Katsina.

But if we stop here, the power of the Holy Fire will become weaker and weaker, and the abyss will emerge from everywhere, and situations similar to what happened to the Flowing Springs will become more and more frequent.

"And if you stay in the Kingdom of the Night God for a long time, your individual existence will be devoured and eventually merged with the vast number of souls. So the most urgent task is to find a way to rescue Katsina from the Kingdom of the Night God."

Mavica continued to explain.

"Since Lord Vulcan wants to find a solution that satisfies both sides, I fully agree with this. You can focus all your energy on dealing with the issue of the Holy Flame, and I will find Katsina."

Malani also knew the importance of the holy fire, so she nodded and decided to find a way to find Katsina's location in the Kingdom of the Night God.

"I am also responsible for not being able to protect her during the Nightwatch War. I am here to help."

Chaska, who had been following along, also made a suggestion, although he didn't know how to do it.

"We'll go too."

Ying, Paimon and the others also nodded quickly.

Katsina was the first Nata friend they met after arriving in Nata. Now that they knew she was trapped alone in the Kingdom of the Night God, of course they had to find a way to rescue her.

"I'll go too!"

Liu Bai immediately raised his hand as well.

As long as you can find the baby kangaroo, you can feed her fried eggs.

He wanted to see which was better, the resurrection poem or the fried egg.

"I understand. I will fully support your actions."

Mavica nodded and continued to explain:

"Master Yan Mi has mastered a technology that can extract ancient names from the earth veins. As long as I find Katsina's ancient name, I can use the connection between the two to locate her position in the Kingdom of the Night God."

"The next most difficult step is for you to go to the Kingdom of Night God in person and bring her back."

……

"Ok?"

When leaving the Holy Fire Arena and heading towards the Hanging Wooden Man, Liu Bai suddenly felt something.

"What's wrong?"

Ying asked Liu Bai puzzledly.

"It seems like someone I know. I'll go over and take a look. I'll find you guys later."

Liu Bai explained.

"Well, go ahead, we'll come back to you when we get Katsina's ancient name."

Malani nodded.

With the spiritual marrow stone made by Xitlal, it should not be difficult to find the ancient name of Katsina. The real worry is going to the Kingdom of the Night God.

"Ah."

Liu Bai nodded, then turned and returned to the Holy Fire Arena.

At the same time, inside the Holy Fire Arena.

One thing Mavica hadn't explained was the real reason for stopping the Holy Night of the Return to Fire procession.

The gradually encroaching abyss has caused a huge gap in the fire elemental force. The situation has deteriorated to the extreme. The Flames of Competition collected by the Holy Night of Return to Fire are no longer able to solve this problem. It is better to stop it directly and let the fighting power of each tribe remain in its own tribe to avoid the invasion of the abyss.

"The Holy Fire is feared by the Abyss and is the foundation for maintaining Nata's stability. It must never be extinguished."

"Until our heroes are ready, I will use my powers to keep it burning."

In front of the Holy Fire in the Holy Fire Arena, Mavica explained to Kinich and Ianshan.

"But this can only last for a while. I think we should focus on the remaining ancient name inheritors."

Kinich thought for a moment and suggested this.

"Don't put the cart before the horse in your haste. Those chosen by the Great Spirit have already embarked on a destined adventure. The ending is written by them, not by us."

“All we can do is support them.”

Mavica shook her head.

"But even so, for Lord Kagami to make the sacrifice himself, this is..."

Ian Shan on the side was a little hesitant.

"Hehe, who else can maintain the sacred fire besides me?"

"My power is great, but it is not noble. This is my job."

"Um……?"

Just as Mavica finished her words, she felt something and looked back at the entrance of the Holy Fire Arena.

"Lord Vulcan, it's the Fatui!"

Someone hurried into the Holy Fire Arena to report to Mavica.

But as soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers from the Fatui vanguard walked into the Holy Fire Arena.

After they stood on the left and right sides, another man in a coat slowly walked into the Holy Fire Arena.

"As expected of the God of Nata, his strength is well-deserved."

[Captain] Capitano said, looking up at Mavica in front of the Holy Fire.

Kinich, who was next to Mavica, immediately took out his weapon, and Ianshan also took a fighting stance, but Mavica raised her hand towards Kinich next to her.

Kinich was stunned for a moment, and had to hand the weapon in his hand to Mavica.

"I already know the secret of the earth veins. Fate has long pointed to destruction."

"And the promise made five hundred years ago has yet to be fulfilled."

"What good is it if the Heart of God is in your hands?"

Following Capitano's voice, Mavica jumped down from the platform and landed in the middle square of the Holy Fire Arena with a blazing breath.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"It sounds like you're not here just for the Ice Queen."

After landing, Mavica took out her sunglasses and put them on while talking, obviously ready for battle.

"In times of crisis, someone has to fulfill the duty of rescue."

"Since your plan has made no progress, I will create new rules for Nata."

"But before rebirth, there is destruction."

Capitano said as he grabbed his coat and threw it aside, the dark ice element in his hand gathered into an ice sword.

This sword has many similarities with the Winter Ice Guard that Capitano gave to Liu Bai.

"Come on Captain!"

At this moment, Liu Bai's voice came from the side.

Capitano and Mavica turned around subconsciously and saw Liu Bai catching the coat that Capitano had just thrown away and standing beside him shouting.

"Lerci... why are you in Nata?"

The tense atmosphere on the field stagnated, and Capitano was a little confused when he saw Liu Bai.

He remembered that he had previously reminded Liu Bai not to go to Nata recently.

Several advance team soldiers under Capitano were also a little surprised. They recognized Liu Bai, but they didn't expect that Nata had another executive officer.

"Ahem, I'm just here to cheer for the captain, you guys continue..."

Realizing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Bai coughed twice and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

After hearing Liu Bai's words, Capitano looked at Mavica again.

"It seems you are not prepared to talk at length."

"That makes sense. For people like us, it's faster to use weapons!"

Mavica didn't care that Liu Bai seemed to be on the side of the Fatui. She raised her weapon and pointed it at Capitano, then took the lead in launching an attack.

Capitano also went forward without hesitation. The god and the man fought each other in an instant. The collision of weapons splashed a lot of fire. Capitano used the ice element that emitted a black aura to fight back.

When the two fought, their momentum and impact alone had a significant impact on the surrounding Fatui vanguard and Nata people. They had to raise their hands to block the airflow in order to stand firm.

"As expected of the captain, he fought back and forth with the God of Fire..."

Liu Bai was not affected at all. He just held Capitano's coat in his hands and looked up at the battle between the two gradually rising from the Holy Fire Arena to the air.

After the initial battle, Capitano felt a little disadvantaged, and Mavica deployed the Burning Ring behind him and used the fire element to launch a continuous pursuit.

As Mavica used the Burning Ring, the hair behind her began to burn like flames, and the sunglasses on her face were also burned.

Finally, after a fierce battle between the two sides, Mavica gathered her strength into her weapon and attacked Capitano, who immediately counterattacked with the black ice sword in his hand.

The two weapons touched, but they broke into pieces in an instant because they could not withstand the power of both sides. The two men passed each other in the air without hurting each other.

But soon, the two men turned around in the air, gathered their strength into their fists and hit each other.

The fists collided in the air, and the tremendous energy instantly formed a huge and violent energy ball.

The energy sphere was black and gray at first, but was soon covered in blazing flames and caused a violent explosion, with flames shooting up into the sky.

Kinich and Ianshan, who were watching from a high place, were hit and flew back one or two meters, but they were not seriously injured.

The advance team of Fatui were also affected and retreated hastily.

As the thick smoke from the explosion dissipated, Vulcan maintained his punching posture and gasped for breath, while opposite her, Capitano was half-kneeling on the ground, covering his left heart, and seemed to be seriously injured.

"Captain! I'm here to help you!"

Seeing Capitano defeated, Liu Bai hurriedly shouted, put away the captain's coat and took out the Winter Ice Guard.

"No, back off!"

Hearing Liu Bai's voice, Mavica was not on alert yet, but Catapino turned around and scolded him.

Then Capitano stood up again, looked at Mavica who was approaching, and raised his hand to gather a weapon again.

At this moment, a thick purple smoke suddenly floated into the Holy Fire Arena, covering everyone's vision.

In the thick smoke, Liu Bai felt someone pulling him. He subconsciously patted the other person, and the other person shrank back.

Soon the smoke dissipated.

Capitano and the advance party of the Fatui have vanished.

"The Master of Smoke Riddles..."

"Pass it on and find the captain and his helpers."

Watching the purple smoke gradually dissipate, Mavica had to turn around and speak to Kinich and Ianshan who were rushing down from the heights.

After hearing what Mavica said, Kinichi, Ianshan, and the Nata people who had just reported the news all turned their eyes to Liu Bai.

"..."

Liu Bai now understood why someone had pulled him just now.

"I said I was just joking, do you believe me..."

Liu Bai hid the Winter Ice Guard in his hand behind him and spoke to Mavica guiltily.

"I believe it, of course I do, just like I believe that you can get good stuff from the blind box."

Mavica crossed her arms and looked at Liu Bai with a smile.

In this way, Liu Bai was brought to the discussion room by Mavica.

Although Liu Bai did nothing, as the first executive officer and [Captain] he is enough to represent the Fatui. It is normal for Liu Bai, who is also an executive officer of the Fatui, to be listed as a key suspect.

But Mavica didn't do that.

"Don't worry, most Nata people don't know your identity as an executive officer. As long as you don't reveal yourself, no one will doubt you. But if you stand on the captain's side today, it will be difficult for them to trust you."

Mavica patted Liu Bai's shoulder and said.

Liu Bai had once contributed to saving Nata, so she was still willing to believe Liu Bai.

Although only twelve of the one or two hundred Nata people produced useful things, the effect of those twelve stones far exceeded that...those hundreds of millions of Mora.

At that time, Mavica thought that Liu Bai was just using the name of blind boxes to give those stones to people in need.

The stone with a rooster painted on it was given to the people of Huayu Society, the stone with a sheep painted on it was given to the people of Yanmizhu, and the stone with a cow painted on it was given to the people of Wolu State. If it was really just luck, how could it be such a coincidence?

"So I don't have to go to jail?"

Hearing Mavica's words, Liu Bai raised his head with hope.

"Haha, of course not. Besides, the Fatui are a diplomatic mission of Solstice. No matter how serious the crime is, they will not be detained privately. Nata does not want to go to war with Solstice."

"But, except for me, no one else knows you. If you want them not to doubt you, you may have to make some efforts."

Mavica explained, shaking her head.

"Ah? I still have to be a slave? Then you should just let me go to jail..."

Liu Bai's expression suddenly became gloomy again.

"Pfft... it's hard work, not slavery."

Mavica was amused by Liu Bai's reaction and explained clearly word by word.

"Is that so? Then what should I do?"

After hearing Mavica's explanation, Liu Bai regained his spirits.

"You don't need to do anything. Aren't you planning to rescue Katsina? Just continue to participate as usual. As long as they see your efforts to save your companions, soon no one will care about your identity."

"As long as we fight the abyss together, we are Nata's friends."
