Teyvat Survival Guide

Elements rise and turn into crystal butterflies, while they settle and gather into slime.

This is alchemy's most basic understanding of elemental life.

In addition to these two, elemental life also has other different forms of existence.

The two most famous ones are:

One is "formlessness", a life that maintains the pure order of the elements themselves.

The second is the "dragon", a more distant and primitive ancient and wild elemental life.

According to human records, dragons are the most primitive and ancient form of top-level elements incarnated.

The definition of dragon is very broad. Any elemental creature with dragon blood can be called a "dragon", such as the rock dragon lizard of Liyue and the deep-sea dragon lizard of Inazuma.

They can all be called "dragons" and have the potential to evolve into real "dragons".

But only the dragon-like creatures with the purest bloodline, the oldest, the most advanced and the most primitive can be called true "dragons", and are named after the elements and called "dragon kings".

The "Seven Kings" of the dragon clan who controlled the earth in ancient times were the real "dragons".

The only real dragon that Boreas had ever seen was one of the four guardians of the winds of Mondstadt, Tevalin the East Wind, also known as the "Wind Dragon", "Wind Dragon King", "King of Wind Dragons", etc.

The seven elements correspond to seven different types of dragons, and there is only one Dragon King at the top of the corresponding element.

Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind, is the "Dragon King" of the wind dragon clan.

That's as it should be.

However, He also saw the same pure and ancient bloodline in the body of the young man before him!

This means that there are two "Dragon Kings" in the Wind Dragon clan!

“…Dragon King.” Boreas couldn’t help but lower his body and looked at Samuel with vigilance in his eyes.

Tevarin is not one of the original "Seven Kings". He is a new generation of elemental dragon king born from the sky after thousands of years of inheritance.

Perhaps even it itself was immersed in the piano poetry of the God of Breeze and Hope, and had forgotten the Dragon King's original mission.

But the "Wind Element Dragon King" in front of him, although not yet awakened, the bloodline contained in his body is constantly conveying to him the call from ancient times.

This may mean that the inheritance has decided to make him the new "Wind Dragon King".

He understood why Barbatos sealed his power. The power inherited by the Dragon King was not something he could currently bear.

That force will consume his ego, allowing his original mission and consciousness to replace him and make him "it".

Under Boreas's alert gaze, the slime next to him, who was believed to be the "Wind Element Dragon King", showed confusion in his blue eyes.

He hasn't figured out the situation yet.

The wolf king cast his consciousness into his body, slightly lifting the suppression in his body.

Every time He lifted it up a little, Samuel felt the same pain of having his self-definition blurred as when he was evolving in the snowy mountains.

Then, while he was still in pain and hadn't reacted, the Wolf King quickly withdrew his consciousness and called him "Dragon King" in a low and alert voice.

Although Samuel did mature and his character changed, his essence did not change.

Although after experiencing those hardships, his state of mind has become relatively stable.

But, but ...

He really couldn't help but complain.

Isn't he from slime? What's the matter with "Dragon King"? ?

He also possessed pure elemental power. He pondered for a long time before remembering that Teacher Albedo had said that this was a characteristic of formless life.

and so…

...Wuxiang who doesn’t want to be the Dragon King is not a good slime?

Samuel choked.

…Should we say it is worthy of being a creation of alchemy, as everything is refined together.

He swallowed his saliva, tried to calm down, and asked in confusion:

"'Dragon King'...?"

The giant wolf crouching over there looked at his confused expression and finally reacted.

The other party has not yet accepted the inheritance and cannot be considered a "Dragon King".

Then He stood up again, raised His proud wolf-like body, and explained:

“I found the remnants of the demon god and the inheritance from the ancient dragon king in the suppression.

“Let’s not talk about the Demon God’s remnants for now, the Dragon King’s inheritance is not something you can handle at the moment.

"When I started to suppress you, did you feel your self-awareness blurred and other consciousnesses trying to take over?"

Samuel was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Boreas added in a deep voice:

“That is the inheritance from the Dragon King. It will give you a sense of mission, gradually wear away your consciousness, and then replace it.

"Then you can no longer be called 'you'."

Samuel dropped his eyes when he heard that.

So... that suppression was to protect him from erosion?

Lord Barbatos...

The North Wind Wolf King took a glance at the piety and fanaticism on his face and knew what he was thinking.

It seems that the destined "Wind Elemental Dragon King" was also conquered by the bard.

Boreas couldn't help but sneer.

Two dragon kings were conquered in succession. Wasn’t it that the first one was too bad at choosing his people?

But... this way, there is no need to worry about what he will do to the green field that He is guarding.

As the two were thinking, a tearing sound suddenly fell from the sky, stirring up the thick snow that had settled on the trial field, and the wind and snow fluttered.

As the snow and wind stopped, Samuel saw a huge azure dragon raising the three pairs of huge wings on the back of its slender body.

It raised its head and let out a long roar that was grand, solemn and awe-inspiring.

The next second, it stretched out its sharp claws that seemed to be able to tear the air apart, and slowly crawled in front of the white-haired boy wearing a crown, staring at him with its azure eyes that had the same vertical pupils as Samuel.

Samuel heard it speak the dragon language, and asked with curiosity and a little joy:

"A new wind elemental dragon?"

Before he could answer, it suddenly raised its head, ignoring Samuel and looked around, as if looking for something.

After a moment, he heard it wonder:

"Strange... I just felt the breath of the wind dragon here, how come there is only one dragonborn left..."

After a while, it turned its gaze to Boreas and asked in Teyvatian:

"Wolf of the North Wind, have you seen it?"

Seeing that Boreas remained silent and did not respond, it turned its head and leaned down to look at Samuel:

"Wind Dragonborn, did you see that?"

Samuel: "..."

Thanks for the invitation, Wind Dragonborn didn’t see it.

……

——After listening to the explanation of the "Wind Dragonborn" who had transformed into a white-haired boy in front of him, Tevarin's expectant eyes dimmed a little.

It was sleeping soundly on the ruined tower, when it suddenly became aware of the lingering sound of the whistling north wind.

When it woke up and looked up, the originally lush green fields had turned white.

Although it is no longer one of the "Four Wind Guardians", Barbatos no longer requires it to continue "guarding".

However, it still remembers what the God of Breeze and Hope once said to it:

"Isn't 'freedom' ordered by God also a kind of unfreedom?"

"Then, from now on, take my blessing."

"Fly more calmly."

It is engraved in the mind.

The king wolf of the north wind is its colleague in a sense, and also a follower of Barbatos, so it needs to find out the reason why the north wind is howling.

But it doesn't care about that, Barbatos himself said it should be more relaxed.

It just wanted to check the situation.

So, with its remaining goodwill, it flapped its wings and flew to the Wolf Territory to find out what was going on.

But when it approached the king wolf, it sensed a familiar and friendly aura that was the same as its own!

——That means the owner of the breath is also a wind dragon!

People today despise it, and it also understands the mistakes it made under the erosion of poisonous blood.

So it moved away from humans and lived in a dilapidated tower.

The god of wind is not always by its side, so it soars alone in the sky.

It got the freedom it wanted and didn't take orders from anyone.

Yet I feel so lonely.

At this time, it noticed a wind dragon that was the same as itself!

Tevarin, who still did not fully understand his own existence, could not help but feel delighted.

But when landing, he found that the aura had dissipated. When he questioned it, he was told that the other party had not yet evolved completely.

...I thought I could meet one of its kind...after all, it has not seen any species of the same kind since it was born from the sky.

At that time, it didn't even know what it was.

There was a hint of disappointment in Tevarin's eyes, but after a while, he turned his gaze back to the humanoid wind dragonborn, his azure eyes full of curiosity.

…“The Wind Dragon of the Future”?

It couldn't help but feel emotions that it hadn't felt for a long time.

The emotion called "anticipation".
