Teyvat Survival Guide

In the end, the newspaper was crumpled into a ball by the angry little slime and thrown into the trash can.

However, it also gave Samuel a new idea: although he couldn't go out often, he could learn about the situation in the outside world through newspapers.

…Of course, not one of those tabloid newspapers with explosive headlines in the trash can.

He sighed, raised his hand and gulped down a mouthful of the Gale Essential Oil.

…Speaking of which, what on earth is the church doing? How come this tabloid is still alive and well?

How dare you spread rumors about him and Lord Barbatos...

As Samuel was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Grace's voice came from outside the door:

"…Your Majesty, the Knights' Captain Gunhild is in the reception hall and would like to see you."

Samuel responded and was about to take a step, but then he looked at the Gale Essential Oil in his hand, the alchemy table, and the bottles and jars beside him, and hesitated.

He had no intention of taking the essential oils, and even wanted to hide all these things.

Because in Sister Grace's eyes, he currently has no money. If Sister Grace knew about the extra things in the room, she would definitely ask about it.

But he changed his mind and realized that his current identity was His Holiness the Pope.

If he wanted, he could have told nothing.

So Samuel took the bottle of wind essential oil and walked out of the room.

Grace and Giuliana outside the door bowed slightly to him, then led him to the reception hall.

On the way, Grace noticed the bottle of wind essential oil in his hand and asked curiously:

"Your Majesty, what are you holding in your hand...?"

Samuel's face turned serious: "An attempt."

Gilliana, who had heard this sentence three times, said: "..."

Seeing that His Majesty had no intention of explaining, Grace nodded and did not ask any further questions.

Then she and Samuel had a brief talk about social etiquette.

Arriving at the reception hall, Grace greeted Samuel and sat on the sofa, introducing him:

"Your Majesty, allow me to introduce you."

"This is Jean Gunhild, and her current position is the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius." She looked at Jean who was sitting opposite Samuel.

Qin stood up, clenched her right fist and pressed it to her chest, bowed slightly and said:

"May the wind god protect you, Saint Samuel."

According to etiquette, Samuel should now step forward and help Qin up.

But he looked at the towering leader Qin, then at his petite self, and then looked confusedly at Grace who was explaining the etiquette to him.

Grace: “…”

“…Captain Qin, please stand up.” Grace held her forehead helplessly.

Qin nodded, stood up and sat down.

She thought for a while and said:

"In fact, I should have gone to meet you when you arrived in Mondstadt... but the Knights were busy at that time."

"I have to postpone it until today, please forgive me." She bowed slightly to Samuel.

Samuel smiled and said:

"It's okay. I'm already very happy that Captain Qin can take time out of his busy schedule to come and see me."

It's you! It's you who swallowed my Ganyu!!

My Ganyu and Qiqin are the leaders now!

Qin nodded, apparently unaware that she had "swallowed" someone's Ganyu.

"It's like this, Your Majesty." Grace explained, "Captain Qin will serve as your combat instructor and teach you some combat techniques."

Samuel: Huh?

This, this is physical education class?

Speaking of which, isn’t Captain Qin famous for being busy in Mond?

After saying that, Grace looked at Qin worriedly again:

"But Captain Qin...are you sure you want to teach it yourself?"

Qin couldn't help but laugh:

“To be honest, this matter was actually recommended to me by everyone in the Knights.

“They helped me share some official duties and asked me to teach His Majesty Samuel combat skills.

"You say...Exercising occasionally can help you relax your body and mind?"

I see... The Knights are willing to think of any way they can to allow Captain Jean to have more rest.

How much effort does it take to teach a child... Samuel complained to himself.

Grace glanced out the window and saw that it was still some time before noon.

"Why not let His Majesty go to the regional Knights' headquarters to receive education?" she suggested. "This way it will be more convenient for you, and you won't have to travel back and forth to the temple so often."

Qin thought about her words:

"It seems like a good idea. This way I can always stay with the Knights just in case..."

The headquarters of the Knights seems to be a few streets away from the main gate of the cathedral. If you fly, you can get there in less than ten minutes...

But the church should still be equipped with horse-drawn carriages... I wonder if the horses can run as fast as I can... Samuel thought.

Grace continued:

"It just so happens that Mr. Albedo and Ms. Lisa are also at the Knights' headquarters, so it will be convenient for Your Majesty to learn alchemy and knowledge about elements from them."

Samuel was stunned.

If chemistry class is alchemy, then what class is element knowledge...?

But...it was really Miss Lisa who taught me?!

"Well, indeed, this is a good idea." Qin agreed after thinking it over, and then looked at Samuel across from him, "But, Your Majesty, would you not be happy about running back and forth like this?"

Samuel thought about it and nodded, thinking that it would only mean he would have to make two more trips a week.

Grace then asked Giuliana, who was standing beside her, to plan His Majesty's itinerary.

After a while, the itinerary came out.

Giuliana cleared her throat:

"It's all planned. Your Majesty will go to the Knights on Monday to learn combat techniques from Captain Qin.

“On Tuesday, I will learn the theory of elements from Miss Lisa.

"I will learn alchemy from Mr. Albedo on Wednesday.

“On Thursday I studied the Torah with Sister Victoria.

"Learn the liturgical hymns from Miss Barbara on Friday.

"Saturday and Sunday..." Giuliana thought.

Grace took over her voice:

"I will be in charge of Saturday, and as for Sunday..." She looked at Samuel and smiled gently, "Your Majesty can plan it yourself."

Samuel was calculating in his mind:

…Miss Giuliana would wait outside the door every day and would wake me up at eight in the morning at the latest…Study time should start at nine.

…The Cathedral has a curfew at 10 p.m., and I don’t know how long it takes to travel between the Knights and the Cathedral by carriage. If you take into account the winding streets and traffic jams, it should take about an hour…

Samuel suddenly felt familiar.

…Oh my goodness, nine to nine, six days a week.

Ninety-nine-six, right?

Samuel calculated and realized that the three people were waiting for his reply, and nodded quickly:

"I have no opinion."

Seeing him nod, Grace also relaxed and said:

"It just so happens that today is Sunday, so we can start formal teaching tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, Captain Qin and I have some things to discuss. Is there anything else you need me to do?" she asked.

Seeing Samuel shaking his head, she asked Giuliana to take good care of Samuel and left with Captain Qin.

Only Giuliana and Samuel were left in the reception hall.

Samuel rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then decided to go back to his room and continue tinkering with alchemy.

I'll go back and see if I can make some other fun things with the materials in the room...

Thinking about this, he took a step and walked towards the room.
