Teyvat Survival Guide

Regarding the incident where His Holiness the Pope was declared missing by the Knights Templar after he had only been out for half a day.

The slime in question said: Ah?

He quickly jumped out of Wendy's arms and flew to the notice board to find out what was going on.

...It shouldn’t be the case. It’s only been one afternoon. Does the church have so little confidence in him?

It's not like he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, so there's no need to worry so much.

Thinking about this, he glanced at the contents on the notice board.

You don’t know until you see it. After seeing it, Samuel suddenly didn’t know what to say.

There was indeed a notice with the official seal of the Order posted on the notice board.

And this announcement did indeed talk about Samuel's disappearance for a long time.

but.

What it clearly means is "If Your Majesty sees this notice, I hope you can report your safety to the church."

As a result, the news among the onlookers became "His Majesty is missing, probably captured by the Abyss Cult."

Samuel: "..."

Fortunately, Samuel is a slime now, not a human, so he doesn't have such wonderful facial expressions.

Otherwise, his expression right now would be indescribable.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Mond’s level of rumor-mongering is first-rate.

If we allow them to pass this on, it won't be long before this "estimate" will be omitted.

By then, the news that "Your Majesty has been captured by the Abyss Cult, and it is said that he has been controlled, and Mondstadt is doomed" may spread throughout the entire Mondstadt city.

Samuel complained helplessly in his heart, and Wendy also squeezed through the crowd and took a look at the notice board.

After reading the content of the announcement, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then he reached out his hand and took the dazed wind slime floating in the air back into his arms before anyone else could react.

"I'm sorry, this is my little slime. It won't attack anyone. I just want to read the announcement. Sorry to bother you all." As he said that, he nodded to the passers-by around him and left with Samuel in his arms.

Passersby heard this and nodded in confusion.

…Oh…So it’s a pet at home. I was wondering why there would be a wild wind slime in the city, and it didn’t attack anyone, it just flew to the notice board to read the notice…

It was only when the young bard was about to disappear from their sight that they reacted belatedly.

——Wait, Slime reads the notice? !

Ignoring the astonished looks of the people behind her, Wendy carried Samuel to a relatively hidden alley on the street not far ahead.

After making sure that no one was noticing, he walked in holding the wind slime in his arms.

Then he lowered his head and said calmly to the little slime in his arms:

"My little slime, it seems you have to go back first."

I have to go back, otherwise who knows what rumors these people will make up in the end... Samuel muttered to himself.

However, although he understood these principles, he was still reluctant to leave the gods he had not seen for a long time.

He had a very relaxed afternoon this afternoon, happier than he had ever been on any other day when Lord Barbatos was away and he was the Pope alone.

People are always greedy, and so is Samuel.

Even though he knew he had been hanging out with Wendy for the entire afternoon, he still felt it was not enough.

Honestly, he didn't want to be separated from Lord Barbatos.

Therefore, he did not reply immediately.

Although he didn't say anything, Wendy naturally understood what he was thinking.

Isn't He the same?

After seeing his relatives hugging him tightly, nestling in his neck and crying to express their longing, how could he bear to let go so easily?

However, no matter how reluctant He is, He cannot stay with His little slime all the time.

He is the God of freedom, destined to be free.

So Wendy gently rubbed Samuel's head and comforted him:

"Well, we've been playing all afternoon, it's time to go home.

"If you really can't bear to leave, let's go out and play together tomorrow?"

After saying that, he smiled at the wind slime in his arms.

Samuel looked up at the pair of emerald green eyes that glowed slightly in the shadow alley, and his heart was conflicted.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, he nodded slowly.

However, before leaving, he did one thing.

He had been planning this for a long time, but he just couldn't find the opportunity.

But right now is a good opportunity.

Just when Wendy was wondering why his little slime was flying so slowly, the next second, the wind slime in front of him suddenly transformed into a white-haired boy with white wings spread out and wearing a pure white robe.

Then, he was surprised to find that he seemed to be gently pressed against the wall behind him.

What came into view next was the magnified blue eyes of His followers, which were courageous yet still slightly shy.

Wendy blinked, and it took her a moment to come back to her senses from those sincere eyes.

…Oops, I was caught accidentally.

what should I do.

His little slime seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Looking at the faces of her relatives who were so close yet frozen, Wendy chuckled and took the initiative to move closer.

Then He... naturally can't let him down, right?

But the young man seemed not to have expected that He would do such a thing. His original momentum disappeared instantly, and his eyes became unconsciously flustered.

However, he did not dodge, but took it with his burning cheeks.

——After a long time, I don’t know who opened his mouth first.

In short, after putting on the crown, the white-haired boy blushed, mobilized the elemental power, flapped his wings vigorously, and flew away.

Wendy smiled and watched him leave, shaking her head slightly.

…It seems that the poem about birds and courage that I played last time worked.

But my little slime, this alone won’t do.

……

——In the church district of Mondstadt, the European-style courtyard where Samuel lives.

As a pure wind elemental force passed by, the white-haired boy flapped his wings and landed steadily on the windowsill.

Although he was flying at high speed, he slowed down the moment he reached the destination, which was enough to show that the boy's control over the element of wind was quite stable.

However... the boy's current expression is not as calm as when he was manipulating the elemental force.

Samuel was breathing slightly, holding onto the window frame, his handsome and gentle face now flushed.

Before, it was always Lord Barbatos who took the initiative to tease him, which made him feel extremely embarrassed every time.

This time he mustered up the courage and wanted to fight back when Lord Barbatos wasn't paying attention.

I thought that my unexpected attack would make Lord Barbatos look surprised and shy.

The result…The result…

Samuel took a deep breath and tried to suppress his emotions.

Then he jumped off the windowsill and slowly landed on the carpet in the room with the help of the wind.

He rubbed his still warm face, went to the bathroom to splash some clean water, and looked in the mirror until his cheeks were no longer so obviously red. Then Samuel opened the door and walked out.

The clothes on his body were made by him using elemental power combined with alchemy when he transformed from a slime back into a human form.

He is currently unable to create complicated patterns like Albedo, but this kind of pure white clothing is a piece of cake for him.

Suppressing his inner pride, Samuel walked briskly through the corridor and down the stairs.

Not hearing any sound from the first floor, he expanded the range of his eavesdropping and then heard a familiar voice coming from outside.

It was Jillianna and Grace.

There was also a female voice that he felt was vaguely familiar.

Curious, Samuel walked to the first floor and looked out the window.

On the street not far away, Grace and Giuliana were welcoming guests to visit the church district.

That guest looks so familiar...red and black horns, long light blue hair...

And... he looks like a Liyue person.

Thinking of this, a name popped up in Samuel's mind.

…Ganyu.

Wait, Ganyu?

……

On the streets of the Cathedral District of Mondstadt.

Ganyu, wearing a light blue Liyue classical cheongsam, was holding a pen and writing something on the notebook in her hand.

After watching the Wind Flower Festival in the morning, she became curious about the various plans mentioned by His Holiness the Pope.

After all, it is indeed a good idea. I don’t know how His Majesty came up with it.

With this in mind, she wanted to take the liberty to find His Majesty to have a conversation and exchange ideas with each other, but she was told that the other party seemed to have been called away by Lord Wind God.

This made Ganyu a little stunned at the time.

She had done some research on Mondstadt and learned that the last time the God of Wind appeared was at the coronation ceremony of His Holiness the Pope a few months ago.

And the time before that was the Old Mond period thousands of years ago.

As far as I can remember... Mondstadt's God of Wind seems to be the type of person who doesn't like to show up in public.

But she changed her mind and realized that the Pope was, after all, a relative of the God of Wind, the so-called "Spokesman of the God of Wind on earth", so it was natural for him to have regular contact with the God of Wind.

But this meant that her idea of ​​communicating was ruined.

Ganyu was a little regretful at first, but after all, she was already here, and it would be a shame if she didn't learn anything and went back.

So she went to find the two nuns in charge of His Majesty's daily life through Captain Qin, hoping to learn more about the situation from the side.

Even if these two nuns are not aware of Your Majesty's ideas, we can take the opportunity to understand the cultural customs of the Mondstadt West Wind Church through them.

In this way, she toured the church district with Grace and Giuliana, and on the way they talked about some official cooperation between the Church of the West Wind and Liyue.

"I understand. I have already drafted the specific contract for the overseas assignment. Please review it."

As she spoke, she handed the notebook in her hand to Grace beside her.

Then, he bowed slightly and said:

"Also, thank you very much for showing me around the famous sights of the cathedral, Sister Grace and Sister Giuliana."

Grace took the notebook, scanned it briefly, and handed it back after finding that there was no problem.

“It’s our pleasure, Miss Ganyu.

"I won't go into the details of the contract. I'd rather have Captain Qin or His Majesty review it when he returns."

Ganyu nodded in understanding and took it.

"Okay, let's do this for now."

As he spoke, the bell in the bell tower was struck. The sound was deep and distant, and echoed in the wind throughout the entire church district.

The ringing of the bell means that night has fallen and it is time for the nuns to pray, bless and practice.

However, Grace and Giuliana are currently taking foreign envoys on a tour, so they don't have to go now.

However, Gan Yu stopped and stood still when he heard the voice.

For a moment, she looked at the orange sky opposite, slightly dazed.

Recalling the various scenes she saw while sightseeing in the church district this afternoon, she couldn't help but sigh:

"The nuns' singing, the church bells, the minstrels' harps, and the sunsets that looked like clouds of fire...

“What a relaxing atmosphere… I like it very much.”

After an afternoon of communication, Grace had a slight understanding of the communication habits of the Liyue people.

She followed the customs of the Liyue people and said politely:

"Then why don't Miss Ganyu stay in Mondstadt for a few more days so that we can treat her better."

"No, I still have a lot of work to do. I have to hurry back after completing my mission on this trip." Gan Yu smiled politely, waved her hand gently, and declined.

The corner of Giuliana's mouth twitched as she followed beside him.

Although their personalities are different, their attitude towards work is exactly the same as that of Captain Qin...

Grace obviously thought of it too, and smiled awkwardly:

“…I have to say, Miss Ganyu, you and Captain Qin are quite similar.”

"Eh? Really?"

Ganyu paused after she finished speaking and suddenly sniffed.

It is the breath of pure wind elemental power...

She had smelled this scent during the Wind Flower Festival in the morning.

As she thought about it, she turned her head and looked at a European-style courtyard beside the street.

The breath... came from there.

As if seeing her confusion, Grace explained:

"This is the residence of our Pope Saint Samuel, but His Holiness is not here at the moment—"

She paused before she finished speaking.

Because Samuel just happened to walk out of the courtyard.

“…Your Majesty?!” Giuliana, who had been accompanying him, shouted in surprise after seeing clearly, and then ran over excitedly.

Seeing her like this, Ganyu blinked in confusion.

From the conversation we had this afternoon, it seems that this nun is a very reserved person...

Seeing this, Grace explained to Ganyu helplessly:

"Usually, Sister Giuliana takes care of Your Majesty's daily life, so she has a closer relationship with Your Majesty.

"Ms. Ganyu, you should know that His Majesty was summoned away by the Lord of the Wind this afternoon, right?"

Gan Yu nodded.

This was the reason why she approached these two nuns.

Grace sighed and continued:

"A few days ago, the Abyss Cult attacked Your Majesty, and Giuliana has been worried about Your Majesty's safety.

“Even though I repeatedly emphasized to her that Lord Barbatos was here, she still felt uneasy, so she had no choice but to ask the Knights to post the notice.

"Now that His Majesty has returned, she should finally be able to put her worries to rest."

Ganyu nodded in understanding: "I see."

"It seems that Sister Giuliana and Your Majesty have a very deep relationship." She joked with a smile.

Grace couldn't help but smile and replied:

"That's natural.

"After all, if we were to ask who Your Majesty spends the most time with, it would definitely be Giuliana."
