Teyvat Survival Guide

After a baptism of spiritual comfort from Paimon, Bennett finally cheered up, put away his frustration, and became as passionate as a flame again.

Paimon put his hands on his hips and nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he was truly a genius at comforting people.

Bennett has been rescued here, but I don’t know how Albedo is doing…

So she suggested going back to find Albedo. Kong nodded and stood up while hugging the Wind Slime tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that he would fall if he accidentally lost his grip.

After all, the shriveled Samuel is like crystal mud, not as sticky as crystal mud, and keeps sliding down.

But the little slime had no choice. The wind bomb consumed too much elemental power, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Samuel, who was being held tightly by Kong, couldn't help but start bubbling.

He really likes physical contact, he really likes it.

Being hugged tightly by the person you love, feeling the skin through the warm clothes.

I wonder what it would be like if I touched it...

How will Kongbao react?

Before he could let his imagination run wild, the little slime quickly shook his head and cursed himself inwardly.

What are you thinking about every day?

Bennett on the side did not have as many thoughts as Samuel. He was just a little confused when he heard Albedo's name.

"Albedo? Is that Albedo, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius?" Bennett scratched his head. "Is he also here in the snowy mountains as an instructor?"

"That's not the case, he just happened to be in the snowy mountains." Paimon explained.

Bennett said "Oh" twice, nodded, and followed them back to the cave.

The smoke and dust had long since dissipated, but the marks made by Samuel's wind bombs could still be seen on the rock wall nearby.

It seemed to have triggered a small-scale avalanche. The snow in the vicinity had become thicker, even covering the footprints they had made when they first arrived.

Empty and clear.

No wonder the slime in my arms is so deflated now.

"Eh..." Paimon looked around. Not to mention Albedo, there was nothing but snow, pine trees, and rocks around. Not even a single person was in sight. "Is Albedo not come back yet?"

Sora looked at Paimon and said, "How about we wait here?"

Paimon thought for a moment and nodded:

"…That's the only way. The snow mountain is so huge. Even if we want to look for it, we don't know where to start."

So the three of them got bored while waiting and started chatting on the spot.

“…I always feel that the snowy mountain is so lively, with so many people and a slime that can emit bubbles.” Bennett sighed.

Upon hearing this, a small slime that was as soft as crystal mud instantly stood up.

Am I bubbling again?!

He quickly adjusted his mood and the frequency of bubbling gradually decreased.

Seeing this, Sora always felt that the creature in his arms was cute and funny.

Seeing this, Bennett on the side said, "Oh, by the way, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time."

"Traveler, what's up with the slime in your arms?" He looked at Samuel and asked curiously, "It looks different from other slimes. Is it a rare species?"

Samuel immediately became alert.

Wait, this topic and this tone... I have a bad feeling...

Sure enough, the next second Bennett continued to ask:

"…Will it taste different from other slimes?"

I knew it!

Banban——! How come even you are a food history enthusiast!

Samuel hid in Sora's arms in fear.

Sora couldn't help but smile as he felt his movements.

Just as I was about to explain, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"What are you talking about?"

Paimon looked towards the voice and saw Albedo walking towards them step by step.

"Ah, Albedo? You're back." Paimon greeted.

Then she suddenly remembered what had just happened, realized something was wrong, and quickly hid behind Kong.

Sora also looked at Albedo with some caution.

"Wait, don't come over here!" Paimon pointed at him and said, "Which Albedo are you?!"

"Eh? What's going on with you guys?" Bennett on the side looked confused, "What this and that, I'm confused."

He looked at Albedo carefully, but didn't find anything wrong. He slapped his head and said:

"Oh yeah, you should say hello first!"

"I'm sorry, Albedo, I don't understand what's going on.

"But I seem to have caused you some trouble..." He scratched his head embarrassedly.

Albedo shook his head and looked at Bennett.

"No, Bennett, please don't worry, this is not your problem." He comforted, then turned his head to look at Kong, "Traveler, I know I can't prove my identity now, but I want to say-"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a cold, hostile yet familiar voice coming from not far away.

"Got you!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the Wave Knight Eula wearing the standard cloak coat of the Knights of Favonius!

Eula came up from the snow-covered slope and looked at Albedo standing next to Bennett and Sora with a vigilant look on her face.

Sora gradually distanced himself from Albedo.

Seeing this, Bennett also understood something and quietly moved away from Albedo.

Gradually, Albedo was surrounded by the Traveler, Bennett, and Paimon.

Oh yeah, and Samuel in Sora’s arms.

"Stand still and answer my questions." Eula walked up the slope, staring at the surrounded Albedo.

"...Me?" Even Albedo felt that it was too sudden and he had no chance to react.

Eula slowly approached the crowd, holding Samuel in her arms, and tacitly kept a distance with Albedo so that she could catch each other and react in time.

All of a sudden, Albedo was surrounded by people like a criminal being judged.

Seeing this, Samuel couldn't help but sigh.

Although he saw the star symbol on Albedo's neck the first time he saw him and confirmed that it was the real Albedo, he couldn't tell anyone.

Although Bennett didn't understand what was happening, he still followed everyone and stayed away from him.

Alas~ As expected, people always follow others blindly.

"Eula?" Paimon asked in confusion when he saw her approaching him, "Aren't you guiding the newcomers of the Adventurer's Guild?"

Eula snorted coldly and looked at Albedo: "Oh, if there are no people with bad intentions to disturb us, it is true."

She took out the great sword, placed it beside her, and held the hilt tightly in her hand, interrogating him: "Albedo, I saw with my own eyes that you took Joel and quickly headed towards the uninhabited area deep in the snowy mountains."

"There are a lot of monsters there. What do you want to do?" She stared into the other's eyes, trying to find out something from him.

"..."Facing the hostile gaze, Albedo blinked his ice-blue eyes, as if he was thinking.

Samuel, who was sitting in an empty arm, jumped up and down in a hurry, of course, if he had the strength.

Oh, why can't I speak?

If I could speak, couldn't I tell them that this is the real Albedo?

As he thought about it, he came to his senses.

Eh, that’s not right. What’s the point of me saying it? Why should they believe me?

Then the little slime collapsed again. Since nothing could be changed, he continued to play badly.

Sora looked at Albedo and saw that he did not seem to be panicking. Instead, he seemed to be considering something, as if he was thinking about something.
