Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 141: Exploration and Re-Exploration

Accompanied by Wendy, Eula danced elegantly and luxuriously. As soon as the onlookers came to their senses, they began to discuss the dance.

At first, people were praising Eula's beauty and her stunning dance, and some people who didn't know the truth even started to inquire about Eula's background.

It would have been fine if they hadn't asked, but once they did, many people's faces fell.

"Wait, you just said...what was her last name?"

"Lawrence, that's the one...Don't have that expression. He is not like those old nobles you think."

"Ah."

After hearing Eula's last name, many of the older Mond people looked at her sarcastically.

Because there were many foreign tourists around praising her, they were smart enough to understand that speaking out in such an occasion would cause trouble.

It is now the eve of the Wind Flower Festival, and the day before yesterday the Church of West Wind and the Knights of West Wind specially posted a notice.

It's not spelled out between the lines, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you cause trouble during the Windblume Festival, the Knights will definitely not let you suffer the consequences.

Those foreign people didn't know what these damn old nobles had done to deserve to praise the descendants of this sinner.

There are many people here, so let's just consider that she dances well and not bother with her as she is the descendant of a sinner.

With this in mind, they didn't say anything, just snorted coldly and turned away.

Eula had anticipated this situation and was no longer surprised.

However... apart from those unaware foreign travelers, there were actually some young Mond people praising her, which surprised her a little.

She thought she had long since stopped caring about other people's opinions, but when she saw that some Mond people were not rejecting her like before, she couldn't help but feel happy.

Ahem... they are just a small group of Mond young people. There is no need to be so happy.

She suppressed her emotions, ignored the rolling eyes, but also didn't pay too much attention to the praise from the crowd. She walked straight towards the green-clad bard in the crowd.

Compared to the change in everyone's attitude, she was more interested in the possibility that this was Lord Barbatos' bardic talent.

She had been planning to investigate secretly, but then there was the Wolf Plague and the Order of the Abyss, and various things were happening in the Knights Temperance, so she really had no time to spare.

I didn't expect to meet you again here.

Are you back for the holidays?

Putting away her thoughts, Eula put her hands on her chest and bowed to the boy in front of her:

"You play the piano very well. Thank you for your accompaniment."

The other party can play the accompaniment music of the old aristocracy's ritual dance. Logically speaking, those outdated things of the old aristocracy should have been abandoned by the people of Mondstadt long ago.

But she didn't ask, because what she said was actually a slight temptation in itself.

"Oh, it's just a small favor. I think Miss Eula dances very gracefully." Wendy smiled and waved her hand in a cheerful tone.

His expression was natural and he wasn't panicked. Did he not realize what I meant or did he really not care... Eula made a judgment in her mind as she stood up.

She was about to say something else when Amber came over happily, jumping up and down.

"Wendy! Long time no see!" She greeted with a lively smile.

Seeing this, Eula temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to test.

Wendy nodded to the middle-aged man holding the girl beside him, and then responded:

"Yeah, long time no see, Miss Amber, you are still so energetic."

Barta, who was about to take Leah's hand and go ahead, paused when he heard Amber's name.

"Are you coming to Mondstadt to attend the Windflower Festival this time? Hey, who's the person next to you..." Amber looked at him curiously.

"Ms. Amber...?" Bartada turned his head and looked at Amber with some uncertainty.

"Oh, it's Mr. Muller?!" Amber was surprised for a moment, then reacted, "...Yes, you passed the assessment. Are you going to move to the accommodation assigned by the Knights now? Let me help you!"

"So you two know each other." Wendy seemed surprised.

As Amber stepped forward to help Barta with his luggage, he responded energetically:

"Yes, Mr. Mueller couldn't find the bathroom when he came to the Knights' headquarters for an assessment last time. I helped point the way. I didn't expect that Mr. Mueller still remembered me."

Barta scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

“Yes… I had just arrived at the Knights and was unfamiliar with the layout of the headquarters. Miss Amber saw how anxious I was and helped point the way.

"Later, she also gave me a brief introduction to the layout of the Knights and the precautions for the assessment... In short, she helped me a lot. Of course, I will remember Miss Amber."

"No, no, I'm just helping..." As she said that, Amber helped Bartada carry some of the luggage.

After going back and forth like this, Amber briefly introduced Eula to Barta and teased Leah who was standing beside him, and the few of them got to know each other.

Wendy watched them chatting and laughing, smiled, and said nothing more.

Of course he heard the temptation in Eula's words, but not refuting it was actually a kind of acquiescence.

From the moment he gave the little slime the identity of the Wind God's follower, he was prepared for his acquaintances to guess his identity.

Besides, what good would it matter if he guessed it? When he went to the cathedral to borrow the Sky Harp, he confessed to the nun that he was Barbatos, but he was still kicked out by the nun.

Speaking of the Church District...I don't know how he's been doing lately.

Thinking of this, Wendy resisted the urge to use the wind element to go to the church city to find out what was going on, and joined the conversation again.

…Never mind, just consider it as a surprise for him.

The young man chatted with everyone, burying his thoughts deep in his heart.

……

“This year’s Wind Flower Festival is really lively, and it seems that there are many new activities being held in the city.

"There are many rules for many activities that even I, the best bard in the world who has traveled all over Teyvat, have never heard of!"

The young boy sighed as he looked around curiously with his emerald green eyes.

Although there were many activities during the Windblume Festival in previous years, they were all traditional activities such as poetry recitation, sacrificial prayers, etc., and basically only older Mondstadt people would participate.

This has also led to many young Mondstadt people being uninterested in activities held during the Windblume Festival.

This is the first time that Wendy has seen so many new and interesting ways of playing appear at once, like this year, which not only attracted young Mond people, but also attracted many foreign tourists.

As for the reason for the change...

Of course he guessed it.

"I know this. Most of the activities are organized by His Majesty with rules set. I heard that the purpose is to liven up the festive atmosphere for tomorrow's Wind Flower Festival!"

Amber explained with her eyes shining, and it was obvious that she was very interested in these games with novel rules.

Wendy smiled with her eyes curved after hearing this.

really.

That little slime is quite capable.

Barta, who was standing behind him, brightened up when he heard the words, and his eyes changed instantly when he looked at the gaming venues that could be seen everywhere.

"So it was His Majesty who set the rules of the game..." He murmured, stroking his chin.

Wendy turned her head and said teasingly with a smile:

“What’s the matter, Bartada, you’re not interested again, are you?

"I suggested to you before whether you should give it a try, but you refused and told me that the Knights' affairs were more important."

"…After all, it's a game organized by Your Majesty. As Your Majesty's admirer, I have to give it a try." Barta scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, I didn't realize you're an admirer of His Majesty Samuel." Wendy said with a smile.

A worshipper of His Majesty?

Eula, who was standing aside, stared at the smiling boy, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

From the wind slime at the beginning, to the later transformation into "His Majesty Saint Samuel", to dispersing the wolf disaster and defeating the Abyss Cult.

Not to mention the suggestions Samuel made to the Knights Templar during his reign, it seems that all the issues concerning Mondstadt's safety were handled by His Majesty, while Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, did not make any moves.

By now, many people have begun to call themselves "Your Majesty's admirers", and the man named Batda in front of him is obviously one of them.

Could it be that His original intention was to let Your Majesty take over Mondstadt for Him?

Thinking of this, she decided to try again:

"...Hey, Wendy, have you been in touch with Samuel...Xiaofeng recently?"

Hearing her words, Wendy stopped arguing with Butterda.

"Well..." He drew out the last syllable, looking thoughtful.

Then, under Eula's firm gaze, he raised his head and tilted his hand, acting cute:

"Hey, guess what?"

Youla: "..."

Eula was stunned.

Even though all the clues pointed out that the boy in front of her was Lord Barbatos, she still couldn't imagine that the supreme god of a country would actually make such an expression...

This made her doubt whether her inference was wrong. Maybe the other party was just an unorthodox bard, and she was just overthinking...

Just as Eula was still in a daze, Wendy suddenly ran to a bard who was chanting a poem about the deeds of Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, and said loudly:

"Ahem, my devout believer, rejoice! The one before you is none other than the wind god Barbatos himself!"

The bard gave him a strange look, then walked away with his instrument in hand as if to avoid suspicion.

Barta, who saw this scene, laughed and joked:

"Come on, great bard, you are still Lord Barbatos. If you were Lord Barbatos, then the wind slime could become Saint Samuel!"

Youla: "..."

Amber: "..."

Eula and Amber looked at each other and said nothing.

At this point, Eula had completely given up the idea of ​​continuing to test the waters.
