Chapter 296 The Night Before the Match, First Meeting with New Friends

"There is a forbidden area on the Isle of Sky that records the fate of Teyvat from its birth to its demise. It also includes all the relevant time and space conditions."

"If you trust me, you'd better take the initiative to attract the attention of the Keepers of Heaven's Law, and then head to Sky Island."

The scene changes.

Nata, the Olympic Arena.

[The Night of the Return of the Fire] The night before the competition.

"Uncle Shaheli, thank you for showing us the way."

Kazina watched as Shaholi turned and left, and politely waved goodbye.

"Hahaha... What a sensible child. This distance is nothing to us guides."

After saying this, he smiled and waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the direction of the [Children of Echoes] tribe.

"By the way, Kazina, are you here to sign up for that pilgrimage event? I didn't expect you to be so young and already dare to compete."

As Ying spoke, she gave Kazina a thumbs-up.

"It's nothing—ancient name inheritors like myself are required to participate in the competition. The first stage is the team competition, where only ancient name inheritors can serve as captains and lead their teams to earn points. The second stage is the individual competition, where everyone will have to show their unique abilities."

As she spoke, Kachina let out a quiet sigh, sounding somewhat unsure of herself.

"I see. So, Katina, where are your teammates?"

With a sense of doubt, Hu Tao stood on tiptoe and looked around, as if searching for something.

"Ah... well, I... they've already registered inside, I'll go find them in a bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kazina tried to appear calm by scratching the back of her head.

“Kazina, we all saw the scene where you were abandoned by your teammates in [Children of Echoes].

Xun Feng recalled the scene from just now and helplessly rubbed his forehead.

While it's human nature to seek fame and fortune, it's still hard to empathize with someone who chooses to betray their promise after forming a team.

"Don't misunderstand them. It's because I'm too weak that... no one wants to team up with me. After all, only the strongest tribal warriors can become the victors and heroes of Nata."

“Kazina…”

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao frowned slightly, looking a little distressed.

"Don't worry about me. Even though I don't have any teammates, it's actually fine. I'll hone my skills for a few more years and become even stronger. I can play alone without any problems."

Sensing the oppressive atmosphere around her, Kazina rubbed her face repeatedly before looking up and trying to smooth things over.

Just as the conversation was getting tense, a voice reached their ears.

"Kazina, it's been a long time!"

The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a lively and cheerful girl standing in front of them.

Her figure was graceful, giving her an elegant air. Her face was sharply defined, with distinct features, especially her deep-set eyes, which were captivating. Her hair was styled beautifully, making her look capable and energetic.

“Eh? Are these your new friends? Hello, my name is Marani, and I am a member of the [Flowing Springs].

Marani came closer and warmly shook hands with everyone.

"Hello."

After a few polite responses, the group introduced themselves and their backgrounds to Marani.

"Oh? So you've come to see Lord Vulcan? Although there are quite a few travelers to Nata, not many seem to want to see Lord Vulcan~"
