Teyvat Survival Guide

“…Your Majesty?!” Seeing Samuel walking out of the courtyard safely, Giuliana was excited and trotted over.

Ever since Samuel was attacked by the Abyss Cult at night, Gilliana has been in a state of inner remorse.

Although she understood that she was just an ordinary person and had never been noticed by the gods, when she encountered an enemy of the level of the Abyss Cult she could only shout for help.

But she still blamed herself for not considering His Majesty at the first time.

Especially after Captain Qin and Dean Grace gave him repeated instructions, this thought became even stronger.

After all, she is the nun who serves His Majesty personally, and her duty is to always care about His Majesty's safety.

Apart from this, she herself didn't want anything to happen to Samuel.

After all, since Samuel took office, many of the policies he has enacted have made life much better for Giuliana's family.

As a mother who had actually benefited from the policies enacted by Samuel, she could certainly see that the Crown Prince was determined to make the people of Mond live a good life.

As a nun who was a personal attendant, she could naturally tell from the details of life that His Majesty was not as holy and noble as people imagined.

According to the people of Liyue, it has a strong smell of fireworks.

It's just that it's not usually revealed in front of outsiders.

She still remembered that when she first took over the position of His Majesty's personal nun, she was also worried and frightened, afraid that the followers of Lord Barbatos would do something that she could not understand.

But after such a long period of contact, Giuliana found that His Majesty was much easier to understand than she had imagined.

His Majesty Saint Samuel was a very interesting child, introverted in character but cheerful on the surface. She could sense that His Majesty was always pushing herself to work hard.

Yes, "children".

As a mother, the feeling that Samuel gave to Gilliana for such a long time was actually similar to that of her own daughter Lily.

In addition, I have watched His Majesty grow from a child to a teenager, and I have also watched His Majesty grow from being ignorant in the beginning to being able to take over the planning of large-scale events such as the Wind Flower Festival.

To be frank, she would always unconsciously forget His Majesty's identity and just treat him as a slightly older boy.

She even had the thought that she was His Majesty's mother.

Of course, this thought only occurred to her once, when His Majesty fell asleep in the library of the Knights Templar. She heard him shout "Mom" in his dream.

She was stunned for a moment when she heard it, and wondered curiously whether elemental creatures had mothers.

But she changed her mind and realized that she was the one who cared about His Majesty every day, and she was his mother.

After that she rebuked herself for the blasphemy in her heart and accused herself of disrespecting His Majesty Saint Samuel.

However, this also means that her feelings for Samuel are no longer just a simple servant relationship.

after all--

It was because of her regard for Samuel that she was so nervous when she saw the empty room and the worn clothes;

It was because of her regard for Samuel that she was so worried when there was no news about him this afternoon;

It was because of her importance to Samuel that she felt so surprised and relieved when she saw him return safely.

In short, for her.

Your Majesty is no longer just Your Majesty of the West Wind Church.

Looking at the blue eyes of the boy in front of her, she realized that her behavior just now was a bit abrupt. She calmed down her emotions and said respectfully again:

"…Your Majesty, I am glad you are back."

Samuel nodded first, then asked doubtfully:

"I just went out to spend the afternoon with Lord Barbatos, why is there a notice posted?"

Giuliana was stunned.

...So, Your Majesty really spent this afternoon... accompanying Lord Barbatos to celebrate the festival?

"Everyone in the church is very worried about your safety, so we took the initiative to post a notice in the hope that you can report that you are safe after seeing it. Please forgive us." Grace also came over at this time and explained in a calm tone to smooth things over.

That's right... Normally the church would pay attention to the movements of the people, and even when Giuliana was not with him, they would confirm his safety through the feedback from the people.

He had been in slime form this afternoon and couldn't find the church anywhere. It was normal for him to be anxious... Samuel judged in his mind.

After a moment he nodded and said:

"I understand. I will explain it in more detail if there is a similar situation next time.

"Let the Knights take down the notice. Someone in the business district has already said that I was captured by the Abyss Cult."

After hearing the second half of his sentence, Grace looked at Giuliana beside her and shook her head helplessly, looking like she had a headache.

…she just knew it.

I have to deal with rumors again when I get back.

After saying that, Samuel turned his gaze to the quiet woman who was walking beside Grace. She was wearing a red and black sheep horn hair accessory, long light blue curly hair, and a Liyue cheongsam.

Seeing him looking over, Ganyu politely bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Saint Samuel.

"My name is Ganyu, and I am the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars. This visit is to discuss matters concerning economic exchanges between Mondstadt and Liyue.

"We may also have negotiations with the West Wind Church on overseas assignments in the future. Please give us your guidance."

I see... I guess it’s because Mondstadt suffered too much economic loss during the Wolf Plague, so Liyue came here in a hurry to collect the debt.

After all, let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about Mondstadt’s most famous wine industry, the Dawn Winery owned by the largest wine merchant, Master Diluc, has been stuck there and has not sold a bottle of wine for nearly a month.

Add to that the military losses in fighting the Black Wolf tide and the other damage they caused during their invasions along the way, and then there is the need to rebuild and appease the people.

The amount of money lost is not a small amount.

Although he had a favorable impression of Liyue, Samuel was, after all, the Pope of Mondstadt at this time, so he naturally had to consider the issue from Mondstadt's perspective.

While thinking, he responded politely, saying polite words:

“Saint Samuel, Pope of the West Wind Church, it is an honor to see you here.

"Please give my regards to Tianquan Star. If there is a chance in the future, I also hope to have an in-depth exchange with the Seven Stars of Liyue."

Hearing this, Ganyu's smile deepened.

But Samuel was too busy thinking to notice.

…From this perspective, the banquet that Captain Qin hosted in the region to entertain guests from Liyue should have been to discuss these matters.

But... the sun is about to set, why is Ganyu still here?

Thinking about it, he asked.

Ganyu listened to the gentle explanation and said:

“The banquet starts at 7pm, and it’s just past 6pm now.

"I heard that His Majesty will also be present, but he has just returned to the church district."

...In fact, if the Knights hadn’t posted the notice, I would have canceled the evening banquet.

But it seems that I can still make it... Never mind, since I have made it, I might as well attend... Samuel said helplessly in his heart.

After that, he communicated with Ganyu, returned to his residence to change clothes, and asked Giuliana to arrange the carriage and prepare for the event.

……

——Seven o'clock in the evening, Mondstadt garrison area.

Even though the sun has set, the place is still brightly lit.

The streets were still bustling with people, and there was even more laughter and joy than during the day.

Well... I guess it’s because night time is more suitable for young couples to date.

Sitting in the carriage, the well-dressed Bolt looked at the prosperous scene in front of him and smiled comfortably.

He was originally an ordinary wine merchant in a village near Qingquan Town in the Blue Wind Highlands of Mondstadt. Although his original life was not very good, it was still stable.

Until the wolf disaster two months ago, which almost destroyed everything he had.

When he was driven into despair step by step by those beasts, it was His Majesty who descended from the sky and saved him.

He still can't forget the shock he felt from the bottom of his heart that day, nor the excitement he felt after being redeemed by His Majesty.

At this point, he became one of the many admirers of His Majesty.

In the period just after the wolf disaster, Bolt found that most departments of the Knights were busy with reconstruction and had no time to take care of other things.

This has led to some previously common monsters gradually becoming more rampant.

For example...elemental slime.

Slime specialty stores have existed for a long time, but they were all small self-operated stores that only sold slime.

He had previously heard that the Cat's Tail Tavern had special drinks made with slime.

He saw a business opportunity here.

The reason why they were all self-operated stores before was that the number of slimes was controlled by the Knights and they could not form a large group.

But at this time, the slimes in the Blue Wind Highlands area have already shown a tendency to spread.

If he can grasp the opportunity... maybe he can create a slime industry chain?

With this idea in mind, he tried to capture a few relatively harmless small slimes, such as water and grass types, and took them to the town to sell.

After some publicity, we found that sales were good, so we gradually increased the variety of products.

Gradually, relying on his previous savings, he issued commissions through the Adventurer's Association and sold slimes of the seven elements: rock, thunder, ice, fire, and wind.

After that, he continued to accumulate wealth by catching slimes and selling them.

After successfully earning his first pot of gold after the disaster, he continued his slime business while starting to build a road connecting the snow-capped mountains and Viladu Village to sell daily necessities.

By earning the difference in transportation costs, we made a lot of profit.

In the process, he met an alchemist in the snow mountains.

After hearing about his experience, the alchemist offered to join the ranks.

The alchemist's alchemy was very advanced, but surprisingly, the requirements were not high.

Apart from the routine dividends, he never asked for any additional income each time, but only took away a lot of slimes with wind element attributes.

After that, while selling slime, he also began to try to sell slime-related element products made by the alchemist, and also made a lot of profit.

After discovering that the profit obtained in this way was much higher than the profit from the price difference of Snow Mountain, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to make profits through Snow Mountain.

Instead, they began to focus on developing various industries centered on slime.

For example, various foods made of slime, and tools made of slime.

Of course, he had not forgotten the previous rumor. In addition, he used to be a wine merchant and had some sentimental feelings for the wine, so he reached a cooperation with the Cat's Tail Tavern in Mondstadt and produced a number of special drinks with unique flavors using slime as the raw material.

He used the Mora he earned to acquire several slime stores.

Then continue to capture slimes through the channels of the slime specialty store, make various types of products based on various collaborations, or sell them directly.

And so on and on.

Up to now, one third of the elemental slime industry in the Cangfeng Highlands area is in his hands, and in Qingquan Town, he is almost the only one in the slime track.

Many slime stores in Mondstadt are now owned by him.

This has only been two or three months. In time, the slime industry in Mondstadt may also be taken over by him.

Thinking about this, Bolt looked at the scene outside the car window again, and felt that sooner or later he would have a place in Mond City.

After all, he had been approved by the Knights Templar to attend tonight's banquet on business matters.

If he seizes the opportunity, perhaps this banquet will allow him to gain more relationship links.

Moreover, I heard that His Majesty will also attend the banquet.

Really looking forward to it...

Bolt fantasized all the way and finally arrived at the venue of the banquet - Goethe Hotel.

After the carriage stopped, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the carriage.

At the same time, another carriage just stopped in front of the hotel.

Bolt looked over and found that the carriage, whether it was the nun sitting in the driver's seat with the coachman, or the decorations and patterns on the carriage, all showed that the carriage belonged to the West Wind Church.

He couldn't help but start to get nervous.

Who else could be sitting in the carriage owned by the West Wind Church...?

The next second, the nun respectfully opened the door, and a white-haired young man wearing a crown and dressed solemnly walked down from the car slowly.

It was him... That's right! It was His Majesty!

Bolt felt his breathing become more rapid.

Your Majesty still looks so noble and holy... and your appearance is still so young and beautiful.

…No, no, it is said that His Majesty is an elemental dragon who has lived for two thousand years. We should not judge a person by his appearance.

Bolt quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and took the initiative to walk forward to greet him.

"Good luck, Saint Samuel!" He skillfully performed the salute to Samuel.

I heard that His Majesty is approachable... he shouldn't be blamed for taking the initiative to say hello, right?

His Majesty looked at him for a moment, then responded with the same courtesy in a gentle manner.

Seeing this, Bolt introduced himself with a slightly excited look:

"I am a businessman from the Blue Wind Highlands. My name is Bolt Gross. I was rescued by you during the wolf disaster. I have admired you for a long time. I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting you here!"

He regretted it the moment he said it.

Your Majesty rescued so many people during the wolf disaster, how could he have any impression of him?

On the contrary, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction if he comes up and talks a lot without permission.

With this mentality, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

But I found that His Majesty was concentrating on thinking for a while, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked:

"…Are you the businessman who had his pants bitten off by a black wolf while climbing a tree?"

"It's me, it's me! I didn't expect you still remember him!" Bolt didn't care about His Majesty's strange memory point. He only knew that His Majesty still remembered him, and his eyes were shining.

The pants were bitten to the point where only the crotch was left. Anyone would be impressed... Samuel complained in his heart.
