Teyvat Survival Guide

Samuel watched Kaia escort (arrest?) Klee away, and then sat at Amber Eula's table with Jean and Lisa.

During this time, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Miss Giuliana, who had been following him and was standing beside him, and wanted to invite her to join him at the table.

But the other party seemed reluctant, so he sighed in his heart and did not force it.

Qin sat down, leaning on the table and holding her forehead helplessly:

“…Although playing is a child’s nature, the toys that Klee likes are all dangerous.”

“…It’s really hard to be at ease.” She shook her head and sighed softly.

Amber and Eula nodded, expressing their sympathy.

At this time, passers-by dining nearby had already noticed the situation at this table.

At first, they were just two famous female knights and a child in the Knights Templar. Well, they were famous because they were in the newspaper a few days ago.

Later, Captain Gunhild, Miss Lisa, and two people who looked like they were affiliated with the Church of West Wind came.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would just sigh, "I met Captain Jean again on The Deer Hunter," and then talk about the recent affairs of the Knights Templar, and the matter would be over.

But today, everyone's attention was on the white-haired boy who was wearing a pure white cassock, a pure white shawl, embellished with gold threads and decorated with a gold necklace, and wearing a silver crown inlaid with sapphires.

After a while, people began to discuss in low voices:

"Oh friends... do you have any clues when you look at the crown on that person's head...?"

"I have some ideas that sound ridiculous..."

"Hey man, I think I'm thinking the same thing as you."

"Oh? I happen to have one too. Why don't we talk about it together?"

"You speak first."

"You first."

"How about he go first."

"you…"

"…How about the three of us talk together?"

The three passers-by looked at each other and said at the same time:

"——Your Majesty has grown up with the blessing of Lord Barbatos."

"——That is the brother of Saint Samuel."

"——Lord Barbatos%&...Your Majesty, and then let Your Majesty%@...!"

"?"

"...?"

Samuel, who was sitting at the dining table over there and eavesdropping, was also stunned.

what?

……

One of the Deer Hunter's guests had his stool fall over for no apparent reason.

Qin, who possessed the Eyes of the God of Wind, sensed traces of the element of wind, so she glanced at the guest who had fallen to the ground, covering his butt and howling like a wild boar, and then looked at Samuel who had an expressionless face beside her.

But she didn't find anything unusual, so she had to give up.

After lunch, Jean, Samuel and the others said goodbye to Amberyola and returned to the Knights first.

While in the carriage, Qin always felt that there was something wrong with His Majesty Samuel's expression, as if... he was a little blushing?

But after she saw it, Samuel's face returned to its whiteness.

Qin rubbed his chin, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

After arriving at the Knights' headquarters, Lisa said she had some matters to deal with in the library and left.

And Qin felt much more energetic after lunch. She went to a corner of the training ground and offered to teach Samuel the correct force posture one-on-one so that he could cause greater damage with less force.

It is said that this can reduce the consumption of physical strength and allow fighting to last longer.

Samuel rubbed his face and nodded, watching Jean seriously as she walked up to the wooden stake with the sword.

"Your Majesty, please see that there are also techniques for using force." Qin taught in a gentle voice, holding the sword in his hand, "and these techniques are all related to the control of force, such as exerting force, using force, and leveraging force."

"For example, if I swing my arm and chop at this wooden stake—"

As she spoke, she swung her arm and swung the sword to chop at the wooden stake.

With a "click", the wooden pile broke.

Samuel: ...Huh?

“…Sorry, I used too much strength.” Qin said a little embarrassedly.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go and get a more solid training pole."

With that, Qin put down her sword, turned around and went to the training ground to find a stone stake.

Samuel just watched her pick up a stone pillar as tall as a person with ease, and there was no trace of wind elemental power.

His small eyes were filled with great shock.

Is this the great strength of Captain Qin who tore apart the guards of the ruins with his bare hands?

Samuel couldn't help but wonder if the leader of the Qin team had deliberately let him off in the previous competition.

As she thought about it, Qin had already put down the stone stake, bent down and picked up the sword on the ground.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, please look again." She pointed her sword at the stone pile in front of her, "If I chop it directly--"

With a clang, the sword struck the stone pillar and became embedded in it.

"It will get stuck like this." Jean turned to look at Samuel and explained.

Samuel nodded slightly to indicate that he saw it.

Then Qin drew out the sword and said:

“But if I swing the sword and turn my body at the same time, I can use the force of my body turning to chop it down simultaneously—!”

"Boom!" The stone pillar as tall as a person was split into two halves.

Without elemental power, stones can be easily crushed with skills alone. If the two are combined... Samuel began to imagine the day when he could break stones by sword dance.

“…If I continue to train with Captain Qin, will I be able to achieve this level?” he murmured in a low voice.

Qin, who was waving the lime on her sword and walking over, happened to hear it and encouraged her:

"Your Majesty, please believe in yourself."

Samuel looked at the edgeless sword in his hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

When he was a child, he had a dream of being a knight and often imagined himself traveling the world alone with a sword.

But when I grew up, I no longer had that thought. I was only thinking about studying, making money, and supporting my mother.

As for now…

Lord Barbatos said that He would fall asleep soon, and it was unknown how long it would take for Him to wake up again.

He had made up his mind then to govern Mondstadt for Lord Barbatos while he was asleep.

Learning the Knights of Favonius swordplay might not be of much use to him in managing Mondstadt in the future, but as the orthodox Pope of the Church of Favonius, there must be a reason why the church has arranged this course.

So, he decided to study hard.

As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered the blasphemous and absurd remarks made by the passerby at noon...

Lord Barbatos... and him?

Samuel shook his head, resisting the urge to slap himself in public, and gripped the hilt of his sword.

He imitated Qin's sword-wielding posture and chopped at the stone pillar with all his might!

——Then he stretched out his hand to cover his forehead which was hit by the back of the sword that bounced back from the stone stake, but he paused when he saw the new recruits who were peeking at him not far away.

He wanted to cry but was afraid of being embarrassed, so he wiped his eyes with tears and forced himself to smile:

"...I'm fine."

Seeing this, Giuliana, who was serving nearby, hurried over to check Samuel's forehead, but saw no wounds or bruises, so she had to give up.

"Your Majesty, please be careful." She bowed slightly and said with concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Samuel smiled while holding back the pain, looking at Qin who looked worried over there, "Captain Qin, let's continue."

Qin on the other side looked at his slightly red eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But since His Majesty himself said so, she couldn't delay any longer, so she had to move a few more stone piles to demonstrate and teach, while reminding him to be careful.

Samuel nodded and followed her carefully.
