"No matter what happens tomorrow, I must face it bravely..." Ying silently repeated Rosaline's words.

"Qianyu, Paimeng, let's summarize the information we know so far." After that, everyone sat down by the fountain.

"Okay, first of all, the information is provided by the guard on duty. He said that he saw the Dark Night Hero with his own eyes." Paimon said.

"Also, this person is not a member of the Knights."

"Next, we asked the flower shop owner, Donna. When she heard us mention this matter, she seemed a little shy," Qianyu analyzed.

"She secretly had a crush on Diluk, and after being rescued by the Night Elf Hero, she also felt like they were old friends at first sight..."

"Ying, do you think that night elf hero is Diluk?" Seeing Ying nodding silently, he couldn't help but admire Ying's intelligence.

"As expected of you." Qianyu thought to himself.

"Hey, how did you deduce this?!" Paimon was a little surprised, staring at Qianyu and Ying in front of him with wide eyes.

"Actually, I was a little unsure at first." Ying turned around and looked at Paimon and asked.

"Do you remember what happened in the ruins, Paimon? At that time, we were attacked by a group of monsters and the situation was very critical. Just when we were in trouble, Diluk appeared. He was agile and easily defeated the Abyss Mage and saved our lives."

Paimon nodded, and fell into deep memories, as if the scene was right in front of him.

"Of course I remember. If Master Diluk hadn't stepped forward to help us, we would have been in danger..." Paimon said with lingering fear.

"Yes! Master Diluk's attack method is exactly the same as described by the drunk in the tavern - a huge fire phoenix! The elements also correspond!" Paimon suddenly shouted as if he had suddenly realized something.

"And judging from the relationship between him and Kaeya, Diluk doesn't seem to care much about Kaeya, or even seems a little indifferent to him. From this point of view, it seems unlikely that he is a member of the Knights Templar." Ying said slowly as he thought.

"After all, no one wants to work with someone they hate, right? It would be really painful to face a guy you dislike every day!" Paimon agreed seriously.

"Let's think about it more deeply. In fact, our subjective thinking has always been misled." Qianyu said in a deep voice.

"I understand. Just like what Miss Rosalin said, for the hero of the dark night, protecting this place is also his mission. However, what he needs to face..." Ying suddenly paused in the middle of her words. It was obvious that her CPU was about to overload.

"The reason why the Dark Night Hero chooses to act at night is not as everyone imagines - simply because they are afraid of being discovered. In fact, the force that is opposed to them will only take action under the cover of night..." Qianyu further summarized.

"In that case, who would launch an organized and premeditated attack on the area around Mondstadt at night?"

"Could it be the Abyss Mage hiding in the ruins?" Paimon interrupted.

"No, in my opinion, it should be the force behind the Abyss Mage that Kaeya once mentioned to us - the Abyss Cult!" Ying answered thoughtfully.

At this moment, the night fell quietly, as if a layer of black gauze slowly covered the whole world. The street lamps around lit up one by one, emitting a faint and warm light like fireflies, adding a touch of mystery to the quiet night.

"Let's go! Let's go to the city gate and take a look!" Ying held Qianyu and Paimeng's hands tightly and led them out of the city without hesitation.

"Wait, Ying, did you suddenly think of something important?" Paimeng asked in confusion, obviously still not coming back from her previous thoughts. Although she had understood part of the previous analysis, there were still some parts that she didn't quite understand.

"Yes, I think the key lies in this time of night. Maybe if we rush there now, we will really find some unexpected situations!" Ying answered firmly. Her golden hair fluttered in the wind, as if expressing her inner excitement and expectation.

Qianyu and Paimon looked at each other. After seeing the confusion in Paimon's eyes, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, stop making fun of me!" Paimon angrily hit Qianyu's shoulder.

"Haha, okay, okay, let's go over there quickly." Qianyu said. In this way, Qianyu and Paimeng followed closely behind Ying and ran towards the city gate together.

Along the way, the figures of the three people appeared and disappeared in the dim light, as if chasing the dawn of hope in the darkness.

In the darkness, something seemed to be quietly stirring, as if it was waiting for the right moment to start a big uproar...

Not long after, the three finally arrived at the back city gate. However, the scene before them shocked them - all the guards here were unconscious!

"How...how could this happen!" Paimon's eyes widened, and a hint of horror could hardly be concealed in his voice.

"Sure enough, it appeared?" Ying tightly grasped the edgeless sword, with the tip of the sword pointing straight into the shadow.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect someone would find this place. As His Royal Highness the Prince said, your arrival will indeed have an impact on our plans..." At this moment, a masked Ice Abyss Mage slowly emerged from the shadows.

It exudes an ominous aura, and the hoarse and low words coming out from under the mask are chilling.

"It's really you who are causing trouble..." Qianyu glared at the Abyss Mage and asked harshly.

However, before Qianyu could finish his words, several sharp ice cones condensed and formed around the Abyss Mage in the blink of an eye, and then smashed towards Qianyu and the other two like a rainstorm.

Seeing the other party's actions, Qianyu reacted instantly. When Ying and Paimon were not paying attention, a faint blue-green light appeared at the ends of his hair. Then he activated the wind element with one hand and put a layer of protective shield on Ying and Paimon.

After Ying dodged the attack, she signaled Qianyu and Paimeng to retreat, then she quickly adjusted her position, jumped from the air, and then suddenly stepped towards the corner of the wall, using the acceleration to rush towards the Abyss Mage.

However, what Ling Ying did not expect was that the opponent actually condensed an ice shield in an instant.

And no matter how he attacked, he could never hurt the other party.

"Damn it, the wind element is completely ineffective..." Ying clenched her teeth tightly, feeling very troubled.

She knew very well that if they could not break the extremely solid shield in front of them as soon as possible, they would fall into an extremely dangerous and passive situation.

"Hahahaha! What do you think? You are now at a dead end~" The Abyss Mage let out bursts of shrill laughter, and then began to condense several sharp ice cones and aimed them all in the direction of Ying.

"What should we do? What should we do? Qianyu, think of a solution quickly!" Seeing this scene, Paimeng was so scared that he was a little incoherent, while Qianyu on the side seemed relatively calm.

However, just as the opponent was about to launch an attack, the temperature around him suddenly rose rapidly, and then a phoenix with blazing flames all over its body fell rapidly from mid-air and hit the Ice Abyss Mage straight.

"It seems that the guy who has been causing us so much trouble has finally shown up in person..." Diluk's voice came from behind the three of them.

At this moment, Diluk held a huge sword surrounded by a strong aura of fire in both hands, and walked towards the Ice Abyss Mage step by step with a firm gaze.
