Teyvat Survival Guide

In the end, the scene of "the knight slaying the devil" that Adeline expected did not appear.

After the Traveler and Paimon were seated, Samuel followed the feeling rising in his heart and looked at the smiling blond boy.

Wendy briefly introduced Samuel to them.

"Samuel?" Paimon asked in confusion when he heard Wendy's name for the wind slime. "You, a street singer, gave this slime a name?"

Wendy laughed and did not refute. Instead, she asked, "Why don't you guess why I keep this slime as a pet?"

What's there to guess? This isn't the first time you haven't done your job properly... Paimon muttered.

But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that since Wendy asked this, she must have something important to tell her, so she decided to give him a chance.

"Could it be that they were sent to us as food?" Paimon asked tentatively. To Paimon, the real thing was that they sent her new food.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, so she said happily:

"Not bad, the singing man. He knows I like slime dishes and even raised a slime for me.

"I still prefer Ice Slime to Wind Slime. And your slime is too small.

"But since you've already given it to me, we'll just accept it reluctantly."

After saying that, she excitedly shouted to Sora beside her:

"Traveler, I want salt and pepper slime for dinner!"

Samuel, who was sitting on the chair and concentrating on looking at Sora, shuddered.

Suddenly I felt a chill on my back...

Wendy noticed Samuel's thoughts and couldn't help laughing, then retorted to Paimon:

"You guessed wrong."

When Paimeng heard this, he instantly became angry:

"What? It turns out it wasn't given to us.

"Singing man, just tell me what you want us to do for you." After saying that, she snorted angrily.

Wendy briefly told them the whole process of his meeting with Samuel.

Of course, due to the presence of an outsider, "Head Maid Adeline", in the restaurant, he made the description of his identity in the narrative obscure.

"…This slime seems to have intelligence and the ability to think independently." Wendy explained, "Maybe it's because I own the Wind God's Eye, so I can hear him talking to me from time to time."

Adeline, who was standing by and listening, was shocked.

A slime that can think independently? How can a slime think independently? Isn't this just the remnant of the demon god?

The occasional conversations must be meant to seduce this bard!

The more Adeline thought about it, the more scared she became. Seeing His Excellency the Honorable Knight sitting at the dining table with a defenseless smile, she felt that the Dawn Winery was almost finished. She began to pray in her heart that Lord Barbatos would come and save His followers:

"Lord Barbatos... please, please destroy that devil and save your believers!"

Wendy twitched her ears and glanced at Adeline.

……

"A slime that can think... it's amazing just to think about it!" Paimon pressed his index finger on his lower lip and imagined, "What would it taste like..."

Kong held his forehead with his hand and reminded helplessly: "Paimeng."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not thinking about anything!" Paimon waved his hands quickly.

"Traveler." Wendy stared at Adeline and suddenly spoke. He didn't know when a harp appeared in his hand. "Take out your sword."

Although Sora didn't understand what was happening, he still obeyed and took out his sword.

Upon hearing this, Diluk also prepared for battle.

Adeline was stunned.

…My Lord and Honorable Knight, have you raised your swords against me?

The alluring whisper came from nowhere, like an enchanting snake, lingering in my heart.

[They have been bewitched... and are planning to attack an innocent person like you...]

[If you want to survive, run away... But where can you, a mortal, run to? ]

There was only fear in Adeline's eyes, and that bewitching and evil voice gradually became impatient.

[Why don't you give your body to me... let me... save you! ]

[Let me crush these guys who are living in this world! ]

[Everything will be solved... As long as all of this is——]

【--destroy!!!】

"what--!!!"

Adeline covered her head, and her heart-wrenching screams of pain echoed in the restaurant.

As Wendy gently plucked the strings of the piano, the melodious melody spread, and suddenly a cloud of ominous black smoke was driven out of the body of the head maid Adeline.

Diluk seized the opportunity, activated the Eye of God, condensed a fireball and threw it over.

The black smoke turned sharply to avoid it, and the traveler slashed at it with his sword, but it didn't hit anything.

Seeing the black smoke escaping in a hurry, Wendy remained calm.

A moment later, when the black smoke was about to float out of the restaurant through the window, it was inexplicably blown back and pressed onto the floor of the restaurant.

At this time, the head maid Adeline had fainted on the ground.

Wendy let out a breath quietly and sighed inwardly:

“…Luckily, we had set up a wind wall around the restaurant in advance. It was originally just to prevent the noise from being heard outside and causing panic, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy here.

"It seems that things are not very peaceful recently. I have to use my strength sparingly..."

He shook his head and stood up to observe.

"It's actually the remnants of a demon." Wendy said in surprise, "I didn't expect there would be something like this in Master Diluk's manor."

"It's my fault for not managing it well." Diluk said in a low voice, reflecting seriously.

"It's okay. The aura of this residue is very weak. It can only cause very little trouble." Wendy comforted, "It seems that it has only possessed Adeline not long ago. It will only make her a little crazy."

"After all, the demon remnant loves negative emotions the most. Letting her imagine more things that scare her will help it take root." Wendy added.

"Then, what will happen to the head maid if we don't find out?" Paimon asked worriedly.

"...it may gradually get lost in the fantasy guided by the residue, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and be used by the residue on its body, and eventually become nutrients for its growth." Wendy said seriously, "and it will also attract monsters from the surrounding area."

"How did you find it?" Sora asked in confusion.

Asking this question will help him identify and help others with the same symptoms while traveling.

"Well... I was just testing her. She just prayed to me, and I noticed something was wrong with her mental state." Wendy scratched her head embarrassedly. "If it was the Rock God next door, he should be able to tell at a glance."

Sora rubbed his chin in thought, then helped Adeline up from the floor.

"Fortunately, Adeline is fine. Let her rest." Wendy glanced at Diluk and when he nodded, she instructed the traveler:

"Just help her back to her room."

Sora nodded and left the restaurant with the unconscious Adeline.

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately it was just a false alarm, nothing happened."

"You're a street singer, but you sometimes do some serious work!" Paimon couldn't help but praise him. Then she looked at the black smoke that was suppressed but still struggling on the ground, "...then how do we deal with it?"

While Wendy was thinking, Samuel was looking at the black smoke in fear.

Mom! This seemingly beautiful world is actually very dangerous!

I want to go home woooooooo…

The black smoke smelled of negative emotions, and also had an indescribable but very attractive smell.

So, under Wendy's surprised gaze, he rushed quickly towards the Wind Slime sitting in the chairman's seat!

Got into him.

Wendy was about to play the piano to dispel the noise when she discovered...

Samuel stared with his big eyes as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing, you street singer? Why don't you drive it out!" Paimon said anxiously.

Hearing Paimon's urging, Wendy decided to do a dispel just in case.

But the remnants of the demon were not dispelled as imagined.

Wendy stared at Samuel for a while, and after confirming that he was indeed fine, she asked curiously:

"Samuel... doesn't seem to be affected." After saying this, he looked down at his hands.

Samuel, who was confused, checked himself all over and found nothing abnormal.

He was quite frightened when the black smoke rushed over just now! Who knew nothing would happen.

Seeing that Wendy also nodded, Paimeng had no choice but to let the matter go.

So the topic returned to Samuel.

Paimon flew in front of Samuel and poked him cautiously with a little curiosity.

Remembering that this slime seemed to have thoughts, and that his previous remarks might have been heard, Paimon asked Wendy again: "...will it suddenly attack me?"

Wendy shook her head and said, "I don't know either. It depends on his mood."

Paimon really has nothing to say.

What can I do? After all, I said it myself and was the one who was impolite first...

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and apologized to Samuel:

"I'm sorry, Samuel, I didn't know you had thoughts before, that's why..."

Even Paimon himself felt that this was not right.

But what can I do? The ingredients I like suddenly have thoughts. Who can get used to it in a short time?

So Paimon's voice became smaller and smaller, he stuttered, and didn't know how to continue.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. I don't think Samuel will care too much about it." Wendy comforted.

Samuel: No I care.

Someone saw you and wanted to eat you before, who wouldn't care? !

"Anyway, because of this slime, I want to find some alchemists who are proficient in alchemy." Wendy smiled with curved eyes, "I wonder if you have the right person."

Paimon was a little confused.

Samuel also looked at Wendy in confusion.

"What does this slime have to do with the alchemist you're looking for?" Paimon thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something incredible, "You're not going to send it to those alchemists for research, are you?"

Samuel looked at Wendy with a suddenly horrified look!

"No, no!" Wendy explained quickly, "I was just wondering if I could ask an alchemist to reshape his body."

"'Reshape your body'?"

Wendy nodded and said with a smile:

"That's right. I want to replace his body with a human one."
