Teyvat Survival Guide

After a brief introduction, Xingqiu got to know His Holiness the Pope of the Mondstadt Favonius Church.

He carefully looked at the gentle-looking, white-haired boy wearing a crown in front of him, muttering quietly in his heart.

I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting him...

Although Xingqiu has always adhered to the idea that "style of doing things and rumors cannot be relied upon. If you really want to understand a person, you have to see what the other person wants."

But when he really arrived in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

It really is consistent with the rumors, the invisible pressure of the two thousand year old elemental dragon is well-deserved...

Feeling the gaze of those azure eyes, Xingqiu heard the noble Pope speak and slowly asked:

“How is the gameplay experience of Hill Killer?”

So you came to me to get my opinion and do some research? I was wondering why you suddenly came to talk to me... Xingqiu thought.

He pondered for a moment and wanted to be clever and flatter himself in order to win favor.

After all, as a wealthy businessman in Liyue Harbor, this kind of smooth-talking skill is most convenient for him to survive in the business world.

And to establish a good relationship with His Holiness the Pope, who is second only to Mondstadt and above everyone else, is a blessing with only benefits and no harm.

But looking at the pair of blue eyes that were looking at him calmly with a hint of expectation, he quietly suppressed the thought.

...After all, Your Majesty is not one of those profit-seeking businessmen.

Then he shouldn't treat His Majesty the same way he treats a businessman.

But to be honest, he really liked the game designed by His Majesty.

Well...then don't flatter me too much, just tell Your Majesty your feelings honestly.

However, praise still needs to be given.

“…I haven’t played many games online, but I feel that although the rules are simple, there is a lot to play, and there are many variables.

"Everyone relies on their eloquence and debate skills. Fang Zheng's tiny identity card carries the collision and disputes of strategies. I can get a glimpse of your wisdom from this."

After Xingqiu finished speaking sincerely, he found that the Pope remained silent and did not respond.

This made him start to get nervous.

He also paid special attention to the choice of words and sentences, so as to make himself look like a scholar and not to diminish the impression of His Majesty with his wording.

So what was he saying wrong?

But in fact, it was exactly the opposite of what Xingqiu worried about.

Samuel had heard Mondstadt's plain language so much that when he suddenly heard the people of Liyue speaking in a very literary way, he just couldn't find the corresponding translation tool for a moment, so his brain didn't respond and he was stunned.

It took him a moment to react and he blinked.

Should we say that he is worthy of being called Xingqiu, who recites poetry during idle chat... It almost made his brain crash.

I wanted to reply with a few polite words of thanks, but then I realized that I had been in a daze for a moment and missed the best time to reply.

Plus, he really didn't know how to respond in a way that would both express his gratitude and maintain the image of His Holiness the Pope.

So after careful consideration, he nodded in a profound manner to indicate that he understood.

But in Xingqiu's eyes, this has another meaning.

Why didn't Your Majesty say anything... Could it be that he was being too aggressive and made Your Majesty feel that he was being pretentious?

That’s right, His Majesty has lived for thousands of years, and I am just a junior in his eyes.

What's more, I am a Liyue person, so when I arrived in Mondstadt, I should follow the local customs. Your Majesty just asked in ordinary sentences at the beginning.

His pretentious words may sound disrespectful and inappropriate.

Your Majesty did not reprimand him in public, which can be regarded as consideration for his reputation.

With the mentality of making amends, Xingqiu reorganized his words and decided to start with the Quamond people.

At least we must not let His Majesty have the idea that “people from Liyue always speak in a dignified manner.”

He thought quickly and recalled the bard who was good at deceiving people and had good eloquence.

“…Also, this game called ‘Hill Kill’ – well, this game called ‘Hill Kill’ also allowed me to meet many new friends.

"Just like what happened just now - ahem, just now, there was a bard there. He was very eloquent and his strategies were also very good. He often fooled other players and made them dizzy."

A bard who is very eloquent and good at deceiving people?

Hearing this description, a figure suddenly appeared in Samuel's mind.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head again.

...Samuel, you are really lovesick. Lord Barbatos is not the only bard who is good at speaking and fooling people.

Lord Barbatos will come to you when he wants to.

However, out of luck, he still tentatively replied:

"…Yeah?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Just a few minutes before you came in, he left the church and said he was going to report to the Knights' Headquarters with his friends." Xingqiu tried hard to avoid saying those common Liyue words.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do… When in Rome, do as the Romans do… he muttered to himself.

Samuel was silent for a while after hearing this.

It just so happened that he also had to go to the Knights' headquarters to talk to Captain Qin about his schedule for tomorrow.

Well... then...

...why not take a look at it?

After all, what if?

……

——Mondstadt’s resident area, the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

Amber and Eula took Barta to register first, while Leah and the luggage were temporarily placed in the corridor of the political area of ​​the Knights' headquarters and looked after by Wendy.

After the Knights arranged accommodation for Barta, Wendy helped him move his luggage to the corresponding room.

After all, you can't ride in someone else's car or stay in someone else's hotel for free.

——Yes, Wendy and Bartada took a bus from Veradu Village to Mondstadt, and then found a hotel in Mondstadt to stay for one night, without spending a single Mora.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, he had just woken up, and as soon as he woke up he was in a hurry to find a car to go to Mondstadt, so naturally he had no time to perform and earn Mora.

But he was not a person who liked to take advantage of others. He had originally proposed to perform a few songs for Barta as a reward.

But he was rejected by Barta on the grounds that "we have a close relationship, so let's just forget about this small matter."

Alas... she actually rejected the performance of him, who has won the title of "Mondstadt's Most Favorite Bard" for three consecutive years.

If he converts this into any tavern, it would be a considerable income for Mora.

After all, he is very famous in the circle of Mondstadt bards and even has a certain number of admirers.

Barta really suffered a huge loss.

Thinking of this, Wendy, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor, smiled and shook her head.

At this time, Leah shook his hand and said in a sweet childish voice:

"Brother Poet, there are two people wearing similar clothes to you coming to see you at the corner over there."

Wendy was stunned.

Someone whose clothes are similar to mine...?

He stood up curiously and walked to the corner of the corridor, where he found a man and a woman, both wearing green shawls, standing there excitedly.

Well... they should be bards. After all, one of them was holding a recorder in his hand and the other was holding a harp. Their eyes were sharp and they looked at Wendy as if she were an idol.

"Brother, it's really him!"

"Look, I told you I wasn't wrong!"

"Great Bard, I didn't expect it was really you!"

"You are still alive! We two have admired you for a long time!"

Before the two of them could get any more excited, Wendy quickly raised her hand to stop them.

"...Hey wait a minute, let me take a break." Wendy held her forehead in confusion, "Are you saying that you two are my admirers?"

The brother and sister nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

Wendy: "..."

Looking at the boy and girl in front of her who were dressed similarly to her, Wendy blinked in understanding.

Is this, “Speak of the admirers, and the admirers will arrive”?

……

"In other words, you two heard my performance at Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain half a year ago, and you have admired me since then?

“Later you wanted to ask me for advice, but you couldn’t find anyone.

"After the wolf disaster, no one heard any news about me, so they thought I was dead. So, in order to commemorate me, I decided to wear this outfit and come to Mondstadt today, to participate in the Wind Flower Festival and recite poems everywhere.

"And then you saw me by chance on the street outside and followed me here?"

Wendy summarized the above sentence structure based on their explanations.

At this moment, the brother and sister nodded heavily in tacit understanding, without any sign of incoherent speech just now.

Half a year ago...

Wendy remembered that they went to perform in the snowy mountains during this period, which was when he had just met Samuel and the little slime had not yet transformed.

He remembered these two admirers, the elder brother was named Henry and the younger sister was named Sophie. They both had the surname Becker and were siblings of the same blood.

It’s not that he was particularly impressed by what the other party did, but he remembered the names of all the Mond people, not to mention that these two were admirers of “Wendy”.

The "certain number of admirers" he mentioned earlier included these two.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought of the other party, the other party came to him.

“We’ve heard your work several times before in the Snow Mountain!”

"You know, many people privately said that they thought you were Lord Barbatos!"

"Later, we also went to listen to your other previous works, and every time we listened to them, we admired you more and more!"

"..."

Facing the brother and sister's enthusiasm, Wendy smiled and waved her hands helplessly:

"Okay, okay, I know you're excited.

"So, are you here to listen to the performance again? Or... is there something else?"

The brother and sister looked at each other after hearing this.

"That's right, we really want to hear your performance again in person, but if possible, we would also like to ask you to give us some advice on the poem we wrote!"

As he spoke, Henry thought about taking out the paper from his pocket.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

He frowned.

"broken."

Sophie seemed to understand something as soon as she saw his expression:

"…Did you fall on the road?"

"Don't tell me, it's really possible."

“…Go find it now!”

After saying that, Sophie smiled awkwardly at Wendy and said:

"Um, Teacher Wendy, please wait for us for a moment."

Wendy expressed her understanding: "It's okay, it's okay."

Then he sat back on the bench and watched the brother and sister leave.

After a moment he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and shook his head.

Having said that, he has won the title of "Mondstadt's Most Favorite Bard" for three consecutive years.

Oh, Bartada really suffered a huge loss.

……

"Okay, Your Majesty, if you really decide to participate, I will go back and revise the charter tonight."
