Teyvat Survival Guide

Samuel saw that the person who came was probably between the build of a teenager and a young adult, slightly taller than Kong, and was wearing the same black and white Knights' standard cloak coat as Eula and Amber, but seemed a little different.

There were many sharp edges and metal stars on his cape and he was carrying a black and navy blue belt bag on his back.

A rock-type divine eye from the Mondstadt region hung brightly on the chest, echoing the golden prism star logo on the neck.

The platinum, slightly long hair was casually tied behind the head with a rubber band, and the bangs in front of the forehead also looked messy.

An artistic aura wafts over me.

"Hmm?" His icy blue eyes revealed surprise and a hint of joy when he saw the traveler and Paimon. "How come you have time to come to the snowy mountains?"

When Samuel recognized who the person was, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Mr. Albedo——!! Lord Barbatos said that it is up to you to refine my body!!

Whether I can be a human being depends on you!

Looking at Albedo who was still surprised, Samuel became more and more satisfied.

Oh! Look! Such a cool look! Such a strict dress! Even the hairline on the forehead looks so reassuring!

Very good, we are one step closer to becoming a human being!

A certain little slime was imagining his life as a human, and Sora, who was holding him, breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's you." He put away his weapon and relaxed.

Paimon also exhaled: "It turned out to be Albedo... I was scared to death."

"So?" Albedo frowned, keenly catching the word, "You mean...?"

Paimon patted his chest lightly and explained to Albedo what had just happened.

"As we were walking along just now, I could always sense sight and sound, as if there were people around us..." Paimon said with some fear, "That kind of atmosphere made me nervous. Really, don't play tricks when there's nothing to do!"

Albedo lowered his head and thought for a while, then explained calmly:

"The sights and sounds on the snowy mountains are more or less from animals and thieves. It's best to stay alert at all times on the snowy mountains." He looked at Paimeng and reminded him, "Otherwise, unexpected losses may occur."

Then he turned his head and looked at Kong: "What are you two doing in the snowy mountains?"

"It's a long story..." Kong glanced at the wind slime in his arms.

Paimon began to speak seriously: "Actually, we wanted to find you at first, but then we decided to find Amber, and ended up meeting you first."

Albedo looked at Paimon and rubbed his chin.

"Hmm... your thoughts and language are quite confusing." He speculated, "Did you get frightened on the snowy mountain?"

Samuel was slightly shocked when he saw Paimon choking on what Albedo said.

You can actually make the talkative Paimon speechless... Mr. Albedo, you have such a high level of manners in your speech!

"You! You!" Paimon reacted and said angrily, "I mean! We are here to find you!"

"Oh? Really?" Albedo nodded in a good mood, "Then it must be something important. I'm all ears."

Paimon glanced at Albedo a few times, then glanced at Sora a few times, then pulled Sora over and whispered to him.

Samuel in Kong's arms listened and roughly understood that the two of them originally wanted to go to Mondstadt to find Timaus, an apprentice alchemist and one of Albedo's students in the alchemy shop in the city, to inquire about the situation. However, as soon as they arrived at the door of the alchemy shop, they saw Albedo walking out with an unhappy look on his face.

What made Samuel curious was that Mondstadt should be quite far away from the Dawn Winery. How did the two of them manage to be in the Dawn Winery in the morning, in Mondstadt at noon, and in Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain at night?

Maybe there is still such a thing as "teleportation anchor" in this world?

Before Samuel could finish his thoughts, he heard the two of them still discussing:

They saw that Albedo looked unhappy, but it was not easy for them to talk to him, so they went in to ask about the situation. Only then did they realize that Albedo might be unhappy because he disliked Timaeus for being too stupid.

"But I feel like he seems to be in a good mood. Doesn't he mind that Timaus is too stupid?" Paimon whispered to Sora.

Sora also responded quietly: "Could it be that we are overthinking it?"

Paimon also thought it was possible and felt a little embarrassed: "Uh... just pretend, just pretend you don't know!"

When the little slime heard this, he became anxious.

I finally confirmed what the current plot is. This is an event from before!

No, I have to find a way to let Paimon tell Albedo that "Albedo thinks Timaeus is stupid."

Samuel thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of any good idea, so he jumped out of Kong's arms in a hurry and bumped into Paimon lightly.

"Hey Xiaofeng, what are you doing—eh?!"

Paimon was about to yell when Samuel bumped into him for no apparent reason, but when he saw him, he suddenly remembered something:

"Oh, that's right! That's great, Xiao Feng is here too!" She said happily to Kong, "So we have completed the mission, right?"

Albedo glanced at him and said, "Mission accomplished?"

"Xiaofeng? Are you referring to this wind slime?" he guessed as he looked at the floating Samuel.

The floating wind slime was madly retorting in its heart.

I'm not Xiaofeng! I'm not!

I'm Samuel!

Paimon nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, it is Xiaofeng!"

Samuel felt like he was about to become a floating spirit.

I’m not ahhhhhhhh!

Albedo looked at the wind slime wearing a red plush hat and seemed to have discovered something from it.

"This wind slime seems a little different." He looked at it for a while and said, "It seems to have more... wisdom?"

Paimon was shocked when he heard this, but then he quickly reacted and praised, "As expected of Albedo!"

Then she explained Samuel's origins to Albedo:

"Xiaofeng is Wendy, the pet of a bard who possesses the Eye of the Wind God."

"But it shouldn't be considered a pet now. Wendy said it has a strong sense of self-awareness. I guess she treats it as a friend," she added.

The slime who heard this said:

Bullshit, that filthy guy is treating me like a toy.

After hearing what Paimon said, Albedo lowered his head and thought for a while.

"A highly intelligent wind slime..." he muttered, then raised his head and looked at Paimon, "I asked you to bring the Wendy you mentioned to me. What's the matter?"

Paimon adjusted his wording and explained Venti's request to Albedo.

“He said he felt more and more that Xiaofeng was not an ordinary creature, and it seemed to have human intelligence.

“And he, uh, I don’t know how he asked Xiao Feng.

"Said Xiao Feng wanted to become a 'human'."

Albedo thought about Paimon's words in his mind and fell into deep thought for a while...

Seeing that Albedo hadn't spoken yet, Sora asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, it's nothing." Albedo raised his head and said calmly, "It's just that this seems a bit beyond my common sense of alchemy."

Seeing the confused expressions of the Traveler and Paimon, Albedo explained:

"In the eyes of alchemists, life is born from elements. If it settles, it will become slime, and if it rises, it will form crystal butterflies. A few will become dangerous elemental monsters."

Paimon interrupted halfway through and said, "Eh? What about Tevarin?"

"Wind Demon Dragon? Dragon-shaped elemental creatures are extremely rare and powerful, rivaling the former demon gods." Albedo spoke slowly based on the alchemy knowledge in his mind, "In my opinion, apart from those dragon-shaped elemental creatures, it is impossible for other elemental creatures to have intelligence comparable to that of humans."

Samuel on the side was so proud.

Oh, I'm awesome!

A certain little slime puffed out its chest proudly.
