Teyvat Survival Guide

Unable to withstand the sudden huge wind pressure, several people were crushed and knelt on the ground.

If it weren't for the struggling expressions on their faces, they would have looked like they were worshipping the black-cloaked boy in front of them.

The white-haired boy wrapped in a black cloak in front of them sighed slightly.

He was just strolling around casually, really just strolling around casually. During this period of time, Samuel had been reading books in the Knights' Library and he felt like his brain was going crazy from reading so much.

Lord Barbatos happened to tell him in his dream not to be too stressed, so he thought about relaxing.

So this time I really came out to wander around without any purpose, just like ordinary people go shopping, I just take a closer look at anything interesting I see.

During this time, he saw many interesting things that he didn't usually notice, such as some alchemical gadgets he saw when he passed by Timaus's alchemy shop.

Although he found the alchemical techniques used in those little gadgets quite eye-catching.

It's just like in high school math, where the solution that can be seen at a glance by the cross multiplication method has to be multiplied, then combined with like terms, converted into a general form, and then the root-finding formula is applied before solving it. It is extremely cumbersome.

But I have to say that some of the alchemical products made by Timaeus are very interesting and seem quite innovative.

He really wanted to buy a few and improve them with simpler alchemy techniques to see the effect.

But despite this, Samuel didn't buy it.

The reason is--

...without Mora.

To be honest, before he traveled through time and quit playing Genshin Impact due to the college entrance examination, he saw in the plot that an old man from Liyue next door went out without Mora, and there was that famous saying:

"Do you have any money?"

He almost laughed himself to death.

Every time I see clips of the old man shopping, I would joke with my friends that “Zhongli goes out without Mora.”

At that time, he never dreamed that playing with memes would backfire on him.

But it's also true, just like he never dreamed that time travel would happen to him.

Samuel realized at that moment that he didn't bring any money. He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.

I laughed at my own stupidity.

But this is also a reasonable thing.

After all, after Samuel solved the wolf disaster and gradually got used to people's love, he no longer concealed his whereabouts and no longer refused Sister Giuliana's company.

——She was originally arranged by the church to take care of him, and it would be too disrespectful to keep refusing her to follow him.

When the residents of Mondstadt recognized him after seeing the crown on his head, they no longer asked him to pay, and even refused to reveal a word when he asked about the price.

Although he understood that this was people's gratitude or respect for him, Samuel still felt embarrassed.

So every time he left, he would ask Giuliana to negotiate with the store owner and pay Mora to the other party.

After a while, he developed the habit of giving Mora to Giuliana to carry.

But today he came out alone, and Giuliana was not around.

There was no other way. He couldn't lift up his cloak and tell people "I am Saint Samuel, a follower of the wind god, the earthly representative of Lord Barbatos, the Pope of the Church of Favonius, and the one who saved Mondstadt from danger."

Then there's no point in wearing a cape.

So he looked left and right, thinking of taking note of anything he found interesting along the way, and buying it when he came out again.

Unexpectedly, because of his habitual movements and gestures that resulted from maintaining his appearance in public, people with bad intentions mistook him for a young master of an old noble family, and they followed him secretly, intending to rob him when no one was around.

Although he also learned about the cruelty and corruption of the nobles in the old Mondstadt period through books, some of the old nobles today are also trying to overthrow the rule of the Knights Templar, revive the aristocratic system, and restore the so-called "glory of the nobility."

But that doesn't mean that all descendants of the old nobility are so ambitious. The Wave Knight Eula Lawrence is a good example.

Besides, he is His Holiness Saint Samuel, Pope of the Church of West Wind.

Whoever has a bad idea will get it back at him.

With the idea of ​​teaching them a lesson, he turned to the side of an alley on his own, giving those men a chance to "force" him back into the depths.

And then there is this scene before our eyes.

At this moment, the man who seemed to be the leader and was pressed to the ground by the wind gritted his teeth and forced himself to raise his head against the pressure, wanting to see who the young man in the black cloak in front of him was.

Then, after seeing the other person's face clearly revealed by his cloak blown up by the aftermath of the wind, his eyes gradually became blurred.

Under the black hood is a silver crown inlaid with azure gems.

And under the gorgeous crown are pure white hair and azure blue eyes.

The man who realized who was the leader of the people he robbed was now in tears.

Oh my Lord Barbatos!!

Who would have thought that the noble Saint Samuel would be wandering around in a black cloak!!!

His Holiness the Pope, wrapped in a black cloak, looked at the people "kneeling" in front of him and was just about to start a leadership speech of criticism and education when he suddenly noticed someone nearby through a gust of wind beside him.

He turned his head to look at the source and saw a familiar middle-aged face peeking in the corner.

Samuel recognized him. He was the father he had rescued, the one who had protected his daughter and joined the Knights to fight against the wolf plague.

It was quite a coincidence. I think we met several times.

...The thing on his waist is, the Eye of the Thunder Elemental God?

Samuel had just recently heard about the Knights' course on controlling the Eye of the Elemental God, and he guessed the purpose of the other party's visit in a moment.

It’s just that... Qingquan Town should also have a corresponding teaching department, so why did it come to Mond City?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard the leader of the people who were "kneeling" in front of him say in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, we, we didn't know it was you...

“…We will never dare to do it again, never again!!”

Samuel came back to his senses from his confusion and realized that he was not paying attention when he activated the element of wind, and the wind accidentally blew his cloak open, allowing the other party to recognize him.

The younger brothers who were pressed down by the wind and didn't look up were stunned when they heard this.

…Your Majesty?!

Which His Majesty?!

It can’t be, it can’t be that…!

When several younger brothers realized who "Your Majesty" their boss was talking about, they almost burst into tears.

They just wanted to rob those damned old nobles to get some money! Why did they rob His Majesty? !

That’s Lord Barbatos’s representative on earth!

They are the gods' followers who saved Mondstadt from danger!

She is a noble being that no one would dare to offend even if they had ten thousand guts!!

With grief in their hearts, they quickly opened their mouths to plead:

“…Your Majesty! We thought you were one of those old-fashioned nobles because of your elegant movements and posture…!”

"We just want to rid the people of harm, we don't have any bad intentions!"

Samuel turned his gaze away from the leader, glanced at them, and slowly said, "'Eliminate harm for the people'? 'No harm'?"

The men lowered their heads under the pressure of the wind and quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"'If you know what's best for you, hand over the valuables on you, or don't blame us for being rude'?" Samuel said in a calm tone, repeating what their boss had said before.

Robbers: "..."

The robbers collectively choked.

Before they could react and continue to argue, they heard the Pope raise his voice and shout behind them:

“The man over there, I remember you were a Knight of Favonius, right?

"Can you come and help me lead them to the nearest Knights' station?"

The Knights' Station is a small base where the Knights' Station is stationed in various places.

I only learned about Samuel recently when I was reading a book.

As the official military and political institution of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius are responsible for handling all civil disputes and criminal cases.

Naturally, this also includes robbery cases like the one in front of us.

Batta, who was suddenly called, was flattered.

He knew that with His Majesty's great power, he must have noticed him a long time ago.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty actually had an impression of him and seemed to remember him!

So he walked into the alley in a trance, and after seeing Samuel's appearance clearly, he came to his senses and performed the standard knightly etiquette to the other party in a panic.

"Yes! Saint Samuel!" Barta said excitedly, "Praise you!"

"Shh." Samuel reminded, and then explained, "Keep your voice down. I didn't tell anyone when I came out this time."

"Yes...yes!" Barta became even more excited.

He actually ran into His Majesty during one of his occasional covert patrols!

In sharp contrast to Barta's excited expression were the robbers' bitter faces.

When His Majesty called someone they had not noticed, they realized:

Your Majesty is a follower of the God of Wind, and our group's sneaky actions must have been discovered long ago.

So, he deliberately walked to the entrance of the alley to give them a chance!

The robbers were distraught when they realized this.

Isn't Your Majesty a noble, kind, and gentle person?

Some newspaper reports also said that His Majesty blushed frequently when he first came to Mondstadt...

What's going on with this somewhat sinister feeling now? !

It turns out that you can’t believe anything in the newspaper!!

Finally, with Samuel watching, Bartada happily led the bitter-faced robbers out of the alley and walked towards the nearest Knights' base.

Some of them originally wanted to escape, but they gave up the idea after seeing the Eye of the Thunder Elemental God on Barta's waist.

This day is unbearable...

……

Samuel watched Bartada and the robbers leave with his head down, thinking about what he had just experienced.

The robbers didn't look particularly old. They were probably just idle street urchins who wouldn't dare to think of robbing people even if they didn't have money.

It was out of hatred for the old aristocracy that they dared to rob without authorization.

Even if it is for the purpose of sophistry, they can still say such words as "eliminating harm for the people" when they are suppressed, and their thoughts can be imagined.

Ordinary people didn’t dare to rob, so they pretended to be old nobles and immediately stepped forward to extort money.

It seems... the attitude of the Mond people towards the old nobles is worse than he thought.

I can’t imagine what kind of pressure Eula faced at that time. I really don’t know how she managed to get through it.

Thinking of this, Samuel sighed slightly, put on his hood and walked out of the alley.

His desire to stroll was disturbed by this incident, so he naturally had no mood to go shopping leisurely anymore.

...Read books in the Knights’ Library? Samuel felt that he would not be able to concentrate on reading now.

His Holiness the Pope, wrapped in a black cloak, was thinking about what to do when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a patrolling Knight of Favonius in the distance, who should be the one Barta met on the road, escorting the group of robbers with him.

He usually went to the headquarters of the Knights Templar, and he didn't observe carefully. He only knew the general layout and departments of the Knights Templar, but he didn't know how these small departments operated.

Especially recently, he went to the headquarters of the Knights Templar just for the library there. Once he entered, he would immerse himself in a book and didn't pay much attention to what had happened in the Knights Templar recently.

Following Lord Barbatos' words, "See the world with your own eyes," Samuel became curious about this small outpost of the Knights.

...How about going to the nearby Knights' base?

Thinking of this, he took a step and walked slowly towards the nearest knights' base.

……

Newhand has experienced more shocking things today than in the previous twenty years combined.

He actually saw Lord Barbatos's representative on earth, the Pope of the West Wind Church, His Holiness Saint Samuel, up close.

Then, he was pressed to the ground by His Majesty's vast wind elemental power and could only support his body by kneeling.

Well, this is understandable, after all, the way Newhand met Your Majesty was not glorious.

——He and his group of followers mistook His Majesty, who was wrapped in a black cloak, for the descendant of the old nobility and robbed him.

But who could have imagined that His Majesty would have nothing better to do than wander around outside wrapped in a black cloak!

All the atrocities committed by the old nobles and their ambition to overthrow the rule of the Knights Templar are the fundamental reasons why the people of Mondstadt hate them.

Coupled with the Knights' publicity over the years on the bad behavior of the old nobles, the old nobles have become like rats crossing the street, and everyone wants to beat them up.

So Newhand didn't feel he had done anything wrong.

The old nobles deserved to die, and he just robbed some money.

Originally, he and his younger brothers were just a group of Mond drinkers who knew each other because they all liked drinking. Calling each other "big brother" was just a simple division based on age, and it also gave them a slight advantage in numbers and momentum.

So usually they just gather together and look aggressive, but in fact they dare not do anything.

If it weren't for the recent wolf disaster that has caused a halt to work, they would have almost no food to eat, let alone drink.

One of the younger brothers had been instigating the robbing of everyone, and he happened to meet a man whose behavior resembled that of an old aristocrat, which made him become evil-minded.

If he had known earlier that the other party was His Majesty Saint Samuel...

...Even if he had ten thousand guts he wouldn't dare to rob!

But it was too late to say anything now, as he had already been escorted by the Knights of Favonius to the nearest knights' base.

Looking at the gate of the station in front of him, Newhand couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

Then he took a deep breath and prepared himself to be thrown into a cell directly after arriving at the Knights' base.

But when he entered the interrogation room to be questioned and told the Knights of Favonius about the incident...

...He never imagined that he would see the Pope again outside the interrogation room next to the Knight of Favonius, who was separated by iron bars!

When the Knight of Favonius who was interrogating him saw His Majesty coming, he was in a trance for a moment, then he stood up excitedly and performed the etiquette of the Knights Templar to His Majesty.

After His Majesty gently responded with church etiquette, he comforted the knight and asked him to sit down and continue to concentrate on his work.

——That is, continue to interrogate him.

His Majesty had taken off his black cloak and was wearing a gorgeous crown. He was wearing the pure white ecclesiastical robe embellished with silver thread that Newhand often saw in newspapers. It was simple but exuded a sacred and noble aura.

The black cloak that had caused him to have an extreme misunderstanding was now following His Majesty and escorting him to the Knights' base. The middle-aged knight in casual clothes was following behind His Majesty.

Newhand couldn't help but show awe in his eyes.

If he had seen His Majesty dressed like this at that time, let alone robbing him, he would have been too busy praising him!

By the way, Your Majesty...are you here to testify...?

As he thought about it, he answered the knight's questions nervously, feeling slightly excited in his heart.

So, he was imprisoned by Your Majesty himself, right?

Anyway, they were only sent to the Knights' prison for reformation, and they were provided with three meals a day, but it was a little harder than normal work.

At least we don’t have to worry about not having Mora to eat, right?

Although the thought was embarrassing, Newhand had to admit that he was actually quite happy.

And...he was imprisoned by His Majesty himself.

Newhand couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

he…

...and inexplicably had a strange feeling...

…sense of honor.

As if he was higher class than the other prisoners in the cell...
