Teyvat Survival Guide

Samuel was shocked when he saw the young man walking towards him with great interest, with his skin exposed between his clothes and covered with bandages except for his face and a few other places.

To be honest, when he first saw it, he wondered if Mondstadt had dug up a mummy from the Red King's Tomb in the Xumi Desert.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Bennett.

…I think I haven’t seen him for a few months? .Did he get hurt while running out and taking risks?

As he thought about this, Samuel used the wind to weave a wreath of flowers presented by a resident of Mondstadt into the air and put it on the resident's head.

Amid the other party's joyful praise, the azure gem inlaid on the crown on his head flickered slightly.

As Bennett approached, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing past.

The next second, the pain he had been holding back disappeared unconsciously. Bennett reacted, blinked in confusion, and reached out to press the wound under the bandage.

It doesn't hurt.

He paused, quickly tore off a piece of bandage as if to confirm, and then discovered.

The place where the scar should have been has now healed, and it is so smooth that there is no trace of the wound.

Bennett looked up at the white-haired boy wearing a crown in front of him, and he had a glimmer of understanding.

He said in amazement:

“…It’s amazing! Did Your Majesty do this?!”

Samuel did not answer.

At the same time, other elderly, weak, sick and disabled passers-by who were watching nearby were also stunned by the changes in their bodies, and it took them a while to recover.

They exclaimed:

“My back doesn’t ache anymore!”

"My legs don't hurt anymore!"

“My lumbar disc is no longer herniated!”

"I have money to buy paper...wait, it seems I still don't have money."

"..."

The elderly passers-by were amazed at first, then they reacted.

"A miracle, this is a miracle!"

"Praise be to you, Saint Samuel!"

Seeing that the older generation around him began to praise from the bottom of their hearts, Bennett looked left and right, felt that he should shout as well, so he shouted a few words too.

Seeing this, Samuel habitually raised his hand and pressed down to suppress the sound.

……

At the same time, on the other side.

After Amber and Eula evacuated the crowd, she heaved a sigh of relief: "Huh... everyone is still very reasonable!"

Eula nodded in agreement:

"Well, after we made it clear that following His Majesty would cause a traffic jam, everyone dispersed with understanding."

After the three of them evacuated the crowd, they walked towards Samuel's original position.

On the way, Giuliana said quietly:

“Thank you both for your help. Actually, I should be the one communicating with the people.

"After all, it was caused by your majesty's reputation. No matter what, I should bear some responsibility."

Amber waved her hands enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Giuliana, you have to take care of His Majesty, how can you evacuate the people at the same time.

"Eula and I are Knights of Favonius, and we happen to have some free time. When we see this situation, we should have—"

As she said this, she bumped into the back of Eula who suddenly stopped.

"…Eula? Why don't you leave——"

Amber, who was speaking, widened her eyes when she saw who was standing next to Samuel.

"——Bennett?!"

Two months ago, after the wolf disaster ended, the Knights conducted a search in Blue Wind Highlands and surrounding areas, and ultimately determined that 43,000 names were registered on the death list.

In addition to this, there is another list of “missing persons after the disaster”.

Among them is the name Bennett.

Amber was impressed. She was a scout knight and needed the order of the Knights to go to Blue Wind Highlands to search. At that time, she noticed that Bennett was on the missing list.

She paid special attention at the time and asked around.

The result is obvious. After searching for a month, there was no sign of anyone, let alone a person.

So Bennett's name was registered on this list.

Although he is a missing person, there has been no news for such a long time, and everyone thinks that he may have already…

But right now, Bennett is right in front of him? !

Looking at Amber's stunned expression, Bennett realized that she was probably thinking the same thing as the newsstand owner before, so he explained the reason.

After hearing this, Amber didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the other hand, Eula rubbed her chin and murmured:

"I was trapped in a special secret realm for a few days. When I came out, I found that more than a month had passed...

"But I just happened to escape the wolf disaster... Should I say it's lucky or unlucky..."

Bennett, who almost died in the secret realm, scratched the back of his head without further explanation.

After hearing this, Samuel's doubts were alleviated a lot.

Eula thought so because she saw that although Bennett had a lot of bandages wrapped around his body, his current movements did not seem like he was seriously injured.

And Bennett didn't explain it specifically, so she naturally thought that the secret realm was not particularly dangerous.

But Samuel, who activated the crown's healing ability, could roughly understand how severe Bennett's injuries were at the beginning. It should have healed a lot after resting for a few weeks.

It's not easy for Bennett either... I really don't know how he can be so optimistic despite being so unlucky... Samuel sighed in admiration in his heart.

Then, he opened his mouth and asked:

"What are Amber and Eula planning to do?"

"Amber and I just finished the mission assigned by the Knights. We were planning to go for a walk on the street, but when we went out, we saw a bunch of residents gathered here, so we came over to help them out." Eula explained, and then asked, "Where's Your Majesty?"

Samuel replied simply: "Take a walk."

"…Is there no other purpose?" Bennett asked confusedly.

Samuel shook his head: "No, just taking a walk."

"..."Except for Giuliana, the other three didn't know what to say.

…So His Holiness Saint Samuel is so free?

As for why Giuliana didn't feel this way...

Well, His Majesty must have his own reasons for doing this.

"...In that case, why don't we travel together?" Eula suggested, "This will also ensure your safety."

Amber, who felt it would be awkward to go shopping with Samuel, wanted to touch Eula with her arm to remind her, but swallowed her words after hearing the second half of her sentence.

The news that Samuel was attacked by the Abyss Cult last night has spread within the Knights Templar, and Captain Qin is busy with His Majesty's security and selecting guards.

She and Eula are Knights of Favonius, and they are very familiar with Samuel - although not so familiar with him now - so it is reasonable to ensure his safety.

So she nodded and agreed carefully: "...I agree with what Eula said."

"Okay." Samuel nodded, then looked at the bandaged boy beside him, "Does Bennett want to come too?"

"——Huh?! Can I do it too?" Bennett asked in surprise.

He is not familiar with Your Majesty, so in Your Majesty's eyes, he should be no different from ordinary people, right?

At most, I just listened to the story of him being trapped in a secret place.

Why would His Majesty, who possesses the divine power to heal diseases and pains and is of high status, take the initiative to invite him to go shopping?

After a moment, he heard His Majesty respond gently: "Of course."

It sounds like you understand something... Your Majesty, what did you understand...?

"Then let's go together and stroll along the streets in the central area first, shall we?" Eula suggested.

So, the five of them traveled together to the central area of ​​Mondstadt.

……

In Mondstadt, in a damp and dark alley.

The shadowy nun, holding a spear, threw a masked, sneaky man into a dark corner of the alley.

The man wearing a mask looked terrified and begged for mercy in a trembling voice:

“I was wrong, I was wrong!

"I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again!

"Please spare me, please spare me!"

The nun lifted the pipe to her lips and puffed on it, blowing out a cloud of smoke as pale as her skin.

She spoke slowly, her tone was a bit lazy and careless:

"Don't ask me for mercy, I'm just doing my job.

It sounded calm, but the spear in his hand was merciless.

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung the spear in front of the man!

Before the man could tremble, she leaned over with her spear, leaned close to him with her charming eyes like dark red garnets, and whispered:

"Tell me, what is your purpose, and where are your remaining accomplices hiding?"

……

"Dandelion wine, dandelion wine! The latest event of the 'Angel's Gift' tavern! 20% off on all dandelion wine!"

“Fisherman’s Toast! Enjoy the delicious food of your dreams at a price you never imagined!”

"The discount on wheat is amazing. If you need help grinding it into flour, leave a message for the owner!"

“Buy three tomatoes and get one free!”

“This is a restaurant that even His Holiness the Pope has praised! Come and taste the flavors His Holiness likes!”

"Fresh little lamp grass can be used as a lighting fixture in the bathroom! Big brother, take a look..."

The white-haired boy wearing a crown was listening to the hawking on the street and complaining in his heart, "I just laughed twice when I was leaving the restaurant, why did you praise me so much?", when he was stopped by a little girl selling flowers.

He took a bite of the sweet Luoluo berry in his hand, looked at the small lamp grasses in the little girl's basket that looked good and could be seen emitting a faint glow even in the daytime, and asked curiously:

"How much is one?"

"It only costs five thousand Mora, big brother." The little girl bared her white teeth and smiled harmlessly.

Although His Holiness the Pope, who had already asked Captain Qin for living expenses, did not lack this Mora, he still couldn't help but complain in his heart.

A plant is sold for 25 yuan, you are so embarrassed to use "only"...

However, considering that the Wind Flower Festival is approaching, it seems reasonable to increase the price of flowers...

But it’s not that outrageous.

Seeing that Giuliana was about to take out her wallet, he coughed and waved his hand and shook his head: "No, no."

Although he doesn't lack the money now, he won't buy everything.

I'd better go buy those little gadgets I liked yesterday.

Over there, the Scout Knight held the Wave Knight's hand and pointed to a clothing store.

"Eula, there seems to be a very beautiful skirt over there that will suit you very well. Do you want to try it?" Amber said cheerfully.

"Really? I just happened to see a skirt that suits you very well. Let's go." As she said that, Eula pulled her over.

"That hairpin over there seems to be very nice too! Hey, Eula, look at that! Doesn't it look a bit like Count Rabbit?"

Well, these two female knights were talking about guarding His Holiness the Pope before, but now they seem to have been immersed in the joy of shopping.

Bennett looked around curiously, and finally fixed his sights on a clinic set up spontaneously by believers under the church.

Hmm...I'm out of bandages and painkillers. Time to buy some more...

Thinking of this, he said hello to His Majesty the Lord and ran to the clinic to buy supplies.

If Samuel hadn't reacted in time and used the wind to support him, Bennett would have been hit on the head by the flowerpot falling from the upstairs.

This unfortunate child... Samuel took a bite of the falling berry, watched him enter the clinic unnoticed, and shook his head slowly.

After a while, when they gathered again, the other four people except Samuel were holding a lot of newly bought things in their hands.

Well, in addition to some small gadgets he bought, Giuliana also had some children's clothes she bought herself, saying that she would take them back for her daughter Lily to wear.

So far, apart from not talking to him very often, she gets along pretty well with Amber and Eula—

——What the hell! How can we get along well without even talking to each other?

The little slime, who wanted to restore the old friendship, coughed twice and tried to find a topic:

"…This hairpin looks pretty good. I see that Amber and Eula don't seem to buy hair ties very often. Do they not like to tie their hair?"

Amber was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect Samuel to take the initiative to talk to them. After a moment, she responded:

“Eula’s hair is shorter, so she doesn’t need to tie it up.

"I don't usually tie my hair up, but when the Knights are sent on a reconnaissance mission, I will tie it up for easier movement and observation."

"...Your Majesty's hair seems to be quite long. Have you ever thought about tying it up?" Eula thought for a while before asking curiously.

“…My hair?” Samuel stroked his shoulder-length white hair.

Normally, he would brush his long, slightly curly hair to the sides to prevent it from blocking his vision.

I never thought about tying it up...

…would you like to give it a try?

As if sensing his thoughts, Giuliana stretched out her hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have a newly bought black hair tie here. Would you like to try tying it up?"

Samuel suddenly felt shy for some reason, and glanced at the four people with an awkward look.

He had never tried it before, and was curious about how it would look like if he tied his hair up, but at the same time he was afraid that it would not look good and would be embarrassing.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the hair tie, pulled his hair up, and tied it into a ponytail like Diluk.

But his hair is not as long as Diluk's, so it is much shorter.

"It looks good." Eula commented.

"It looks very nice." Amber agreed.

"Your Majesty is so noble no matter what." Giuliana said sincerely.

…Am I the only one who finds this strange? Bennett muttered to himself.

“…Is there a mirror?” Samuel asked awkwardly.

"Yes." The three women spoke at the same time and took out small mirrors from their pockets.

Samuel: "..."

Do you girls carry a mirror with you when you go shopping?
