Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 94: Fantasy Facing Reality

Samuel remained firm in his belief and led the wolves back to the cave along the original route.

On the way, he keenly sensed something strange and looked around vigilantly.

The source of the strangeness was that the forest was too quiet.

As a primitive ecological territory, there should be a large number of wild animals living here, such as birds, squirrels, bears...

For example, when he came, he searched for the wild boars he had hunted in several circles.

Animals will instinctively flee when frightened, but at this moment, a large number of wolves were running in the forest. Apart from the noise made by him and the wolf pack, there was no other sound.

This means that no animals are disturbed.

But this is impossible. Where have all the animals in the forest gone?

After cautiously sending out a wisp of wind to test the surroundings, Samuel widened his eyes when he received the detection results.

On tree branches, in the grass, behind rocks...

Groups of beast hounds were spying on him and the wolves in every corner with their dark, ferocious eyes that emitted a faint purple glow!

For the first time, Samuel felt cold sweat oozing out of his slime body.

——They have been surrounded!

……

"Dad, this is for you."

The middle-aged man standing in line lowered his head when he heard this, and saw his daughter Leah holding out her hand to him, with a piece of orange paper-wrapped candy in her palm.

This middle-aged man is Barta. After arriving in Qingquan Town, he shaved off his beard and trimmed his hair. Now he looks radiant and is completely different from before.

Especially the extra heaviness in his eyes, which was something he had never had when his family of three lived happily.

At this moment, he was looking at the orange candy wrapped in paper with these eyes.

I guess the merchant gave it to her just to tease her... Barta laughed and replied:

"I don't want to eat it. Liya, eat it yourself."

"But I've already eaten so many candies, this one is for daddy." Leah said with childish innocence, peeling off the candy wrapper, then stretching out her little hand to hold the candy between her fingertips.

Looking at his daughter's serious expression, he had no choice but to squat down and go along with her.

Leah put the candy into his mouth and kissed her father's smooth face.

The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and the warmth went from his face to his heart, and Barta couldn't help but feel happy.

It's sunset fruit flavor, Leah's favorite flavor... He thought, and stroked his daughter's head with his big hand:

"Thank you, Leah. The candy is delicious."

"Well, Dad will have more strength after eating the candy, so he can fight more black wolves!" Leah cheered him on.

So this is what she thought, eating candy will give you strength, who told her this...

Batda thought about it, touched his daughter's head, stood up again and looked at the brightly lit, solemn and majestic fortress building made of stone bricks in front of him.

The warm yellow light reflected on the wall outside the building, where a red silk cloth with the emblem of the Knights of Favonius was hung.

He is currently at the recruitment office of the Knights of Qingquan Town. It was only after he entered the city that he heard from his fellow Knight of Favonius that during the wolf disaster, the Knights launched a temporary recruitment to make up for the shortage of manpower.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Knights Templar were still conducting call-up reviews until night.

The conscription requirements are very simple. Regardless of nationality or ancestry, anyone between the ages of 20 and 40 can apply for registration, pass some simple assessments, and then be called up into the team.

Of course, those who were selected for temporary conscription could not be true knights.

After all, those who are formally approved in normal times will first become "recruits" for training, and can only become official Knights of Favonius after passing the assessment.

The Knights were only responsible for distributing equipment, food, water and other daily necessities, and letting the civilians who volunteered to resist the wolf disaster help resist the invasion of the black wolves or complete logistical work for the Knights.

It can not only provide a way out for civilians who lost their jobs due to the wolf plague, but also solve the shortage of manpower in the Knights Templar.

The Knights Temporarily also promised that if any "temporary soldier" made outstanding contributions during this period, the Knights Temporarily would make an exception and recruit him as a formal knight, and he might even be awarded a title.

For example, Wave Knight, Spark Knight, Dandelion Knight, Lion Fang Knight...

The title of Knight signifies recognition of one's strength and respect from the people of Mond.

Although Barta had no desire for the title of knight, he still resolutely applied for temporary conscription.

One is the hatred for those beasts.

The second reason was for his only daughter.

Third, contribute to His Majesty Samuel.

As he was thinking, he heard the Knight of Favonius, who had been conducting an inspection for a day, shout out:

"—next, Bartda Mueller!"

"Come on, Dad!" his daughter cheered him on.

Batta nodded to Leah and walked towards the registration office in the moonlight.

……

The cold moonlight stung the dark grass and pierced into Samuel's eyes.

Hearing the deep roar and the sounds of flesh being bitten and torn, his heart sank to the bottom, as if he could vaguely understand Lord Barbatos's mood at the time.

As long as we magnify his emotions at the moment and generalize them to all of Mondstadt, we should be able to get a general idea of ​​what is going on.

The kind of thing that makes even gods feel despair, sadness, and regret...

But he was not in the mood to be happy about "being able to resonate with Lord Barbatos' emotions" at this moment.

He felt the pain.

He should have thought that the howling of the wolves would attract the attention of the beast hounds and draw them all over.

But he relaxed, he was careless, and he watched one wolf after another being torn apart.

The sharp teeth tore through the wolf's flesh, and Samuel's heart seemed to be pierced by the ferocious fangs.

Blood was everywhere, wolves were howling, and they bared their teeth and pounced on the beast hounds floating in the air, but were easily avoided.

They were just about to turn around and continue fighting, but the next second, a painful whimper was heard, and new hideous wounds appeared on the broken flesh, oozing blood.

The color of blood reflected in Samuel's eyes, reflecting his almost frozen vision.

The group of wolves that showed their love for him were now being slaughtered by the ugly black wolf.

Regret filled his mind and he condemned his own naivety.

But he didn't have time to think more, and anxiously urged the elemental power to help the wolves fight back.

But just after using the wind to crush two beast hounds, he had exhausted all his strength.

If he attacks further, he will use the elemental force that is used to keep his body functioning.

If those elemental forces are exhausted, he will fall into a coma.

…Just as Lord Barbatos fell into a deep sleep.

But he couldn't sleep, as he had received a request from Lord Barbatos, and he had to help him solve the wolf disaster and protect Mondstadt.

But now he had no elemental power and could only watch them die one after another.

Samuel looked around blankly, watching the gently flowing wind, and once again felt the cruelty of reality.

He had just ignited his faith, he had just set his goal, and he had just vowed to turn the cruel reality into a fairy tale.

In reality, he is so cute, so cute that it makes people feel stupid.

Then reality dealt him a heavy blow mercilessly and mocked his naivety and ignorance.

He couldn't even protect this group of wolves, and yet he still dreamed of protecting the entire Mondstadt?

ridiculous.

——At the last moment, he saw the wolf, who was holding his head high and showing off to his kind, also fell to the ground.

It glanced at the wind slime that was standing in the sky not far away, and the next second, scarlet color splashed everywhere, dyeing the grass and trees around it.

Samuel felt angrier and more power hungry than ever before.

…He’s going to crush these damn beasts!

But the final result was impotent rage. He did not have any "outburst" or "breakthrough".

He has no means of acquiring power.

Thus, his anger turned into helplessness and despair, and he finally died in disgrace together with the remaining surviving wolves.

…ran away.
