Teyvat Survival Guide

……

"Captain Qin, what do you think?" After Samuel and Qin asked Luntel, they returned to the office.

Originally, I just wanted to get some relevant information from Lentel, and didn't expect him to say much useful information.

But the result was unexpected. It seemed that Lentel had stimulated his potential in fear. He almost remembered the other person's appearance and clothes, and tried his best to show his value to Samuel.

As a result, Samuel obtained a lot of useful information.

According to Lentel's account, after finishing his shift at midnight that night, he went to a nearby tavern to have a drink to relieve his boredom.

Due to his status as a descendant of the old nobility, he did not dare to go to famous taverns like "Angel's Gift" for fear of being recognized and ridiculed by the residents of Mond.

So he chose a small, remote tavern deep in the alley, where he often went to drink.

There are few people here, and the owner doesn't care who comes. As long as they can give Mora, he will give them wine, so there are all kinds of strange people, and the tavern is in chaos.

Every time Lentel came here to drink, he would frown. He felt that he should be in a high-end pub, sipping his drink with an elegant goblet under the music and candlelight.

Instead of finding a dirty and messy pub to relieve boredom like we do now.

The imagination was beautiful, but in reality he had no other choice and finally he obediently entered this remote tavern.

But surprisingly, this time when he entered the pub, he did not hear the drunkards' noise, which was annoying, nor any messy and noisy sounds.

Instead, there was complete silence. The drinkers seemed to be drunk and were lying in all directions.

In the silence, he heard someone chattering in the corner of the pub. After paying at the counter and getting his drink, he quietly leaned over out of curiosity.

Then he saw a man in a dark blue cloak and a white mask, whose face could not be seen clearly, sitting in the shadows in the corner. Lentel heard what he was mumbling - conspiracy theories about Samuel.

I don’t know if it was because the drinkers around were all drunk, but they didn’t react at all when they heard the man’s blasphemous words.

Not long after Rentel heard what the man said, the main door of the tavern was pushed open, and then a man in a black cloak rushed in. The man in the dark blue cloak giggled when he saw him, and then ran away from the back door of the tavern.

Seeing this, the man in black cloak immediately chased after him and rushed out of the back door of the tavern.

Rentel vaguely remembered that the man in the black cloak seemed to have light blond hair and light blue eyes, and wore a black incomplete mask that covered the right half of his face.

Samuel had roughly guessed what had happened, so he asked questions with the answers in mind, wanting to hear Qin's thoughts.

Captain Qin crossed his hands on the desk, pondered for a while, and said:

“This incident is very strange and needs further investigation.

“According to Lenthal’s description, it seemed that he was the only one who heard the comments and that the other drinkers did not react.

“The power of the abyss had probably already contaminated him at that time, but he didn’t notice it.

"If I were to guess in this direction... I would infer that the man in the dark blue cloak is a wizard from the Abyss Cult.

"As for the tall man with light blond hair, a mask, light blue eyes, and a black cloak... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I have no idea."

Samuel nodded slightly.

Captain Jean has almost guessed the whole picture. In fact, it should be that the Abyss Cult spread negative remarks about him in order to tarnish his reputation and make him the same state as Tevarin, being hated by the people of Mond.

Only in this way can they proceed to the next step of instigation and inducement.

Samuel guessed the same as Jean about the man in the dark blue cloak, thinking that he was an Abyss Mage from the Abyss Cult.

As for the one in the black cloak, Jean couldn't make a guess due to insufficient information, but Samuel, who traveled through time, already had an almost clear answer.

If Rentel had looked more carefully at the time, he should have been able to see the same starry eyes as Kaia, symbolizing the pure bloodline of Kanreya, in the light blue eyes.

Yes, Samuel guessed that the other party was the "Sword of the Last Light" of the last palace guard of Kanria - Dainsreb.

To reconstruct the scene at that time, it is estimated that the Abyss Mage was picking out people who were not so fearful of Samuel at midnight, and hinted at them with the pollution of the Abyss, hoping to secretly change the attitude of the Mondstadt people towards him.

And Lentel was one of the chosen ones.

During the process of contamination, Dainsleb came over following the breath of the abyss. After the abyss mage recognized him, he quickly fled, and Dainsleb followed him.

This should be the full picture of the events that Lentel saw, which was unexpectedly simple.

But he couldn't go and tell Qin directly because he couldn't explain how he knew.

Thinking of this, Samuel sighed slightly and had to pretend that he didn't know and investigate the matter privately.

Seeing him sigh, Qin thought he was troubled by this matter, so she consoled him earnestly:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Knights will do their best to investigate this matter and give you an explanation."

Samuel had no choice but to nod.

"Good work."

"This is what the Knights should do, Your Majesty."

……

——After that, Samuel and Qin talked about some follow-up matters.

Seeing that there were still a lot of documents waiting to be read on the other party's desk, he didn't want to disturb him, so he said goodbye and left the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

As for Lentel...Samuel stayed there, intending to hand it over to Captain Qin for handling.

He also studied a little about Mond's laws and church doctrines, and knew that "disrespecting him is disrespecting Lord Barbatos", and he also knew the consequences of blaspheming Lord Barbatos in this Kingdom of Wind.

——will be regarded as heresy.

And heretics will not have a good end.

So he knew that even if Lentel made amends for his crime and provided a lot of valuable information, he would not have an easy time in the hands of Captain Qin.

But these have nothing to do with him anymore, and it is not his job to deal with them. He does not care about the fate of the evil-minded descendant of the old aristocracy.

Samuel walked out of the gate of the Knights' headquarters, stopped on the street, looked up at the sun, and saw that it was just past noon.

He learned a lot this morning. Not to mention the shopping part, Samuel knew clearly the hatred of the Mond people towards the old nobility, the old nobility's dissatisfaction with the Knights Templar, and the infiltration and conspiracy of the Abyss Cult.

He then looked at the streets of Mondstadt in front of him, which looked like a fairy-tale town in Europe. On both sides were red brick and tile pointed-roof buildings that looked very light and agile.

Samuel only felt that the fairy-tale-like beauty before him also posed hidden dangers and cruelty.

The flowers planted by the residents' windows swayed slightly in the wind, and the bustling crowd also stopped when they saw His Holiness the Pope standing by the street.

"Oh my Lord Barbatos! Am I seeing things?! Is that His Holiness the Pope?!"

"Oh, I think so. You are not mistaken. That is His Majesty."

"Why are you so calm? Aren't you excited to see His Majesty?!"

"At first, I was just as excited as you, but since I found out that His Majesty comes out of the library of the Knights' headquarters almost every day, I am not too surprised anymore."

"Ah... Really? I haven't been to the station recently, so I don't know this..."

"..."

Residents who seldom visit the area are making a fuss, while those who visit frequently are no longer surprised.

But no matter what, the focus of the topic still became Samuel, and passers-by's eyes were all on him, without shifting.

After all, no matter how many times we meet the noble Pope, his status and reputation remain the same.

At this moment, Samuel suddenly noticed a familiar figure who was quietly trying to move away from him.

He could somewhat understand how obvious it was to see a fleeing figure among the crowd heading towards him when he first met Lord Barbatos.

At first he was a little confused. First, he didn't know who the other person was, and second, he didn't know why the other person wanted to stay away from him.

However, after seeing who the other person was, he immediately understood the reason.

With the intention of teasing, he deliberately spoke loudly so that passers-by could hear clearly:

"'Your Highness'?"

The blonde girl called "Her Royal Highness" was stunned and turned stiffly to look at him.

Under the curious or surprised gazes of passers-by, she hugged the book tightly in her arms, blushed and lowered her head, and responded awkwardly and nervously:

"Your Majesty...

“May you be well…”
