Teyvat Survival Guide

Chapter 144 Far Far Away

The last time I interacted with Lord Barbatos's wind was three days ago, on Wednesday night.

At that time, Samuel asked the wind whether Lord Barbatos had woken up. It swayed, paused, and then jumped up and down...

It looked like he was shaking his head, pausing, and then nodding.

At that time, he was still complaining in his heart that he was "awake but not completely awake."

Before he could figure out what it meant, the wisp of wind suddenly lost its traction and turned into just one of the thousands of winds again.

It was because of the sudden departure of the breeze that Samuel realized that something might have gone wrong in the process of Amber and Albedo rescuing Eula, so he went to negotiate with Captain Jean and arrived in time.

In the following days, although he had been paying attention to the direction of the wind, he still did not feel any signs of the surrounding wind element being pulled.

Until just now.

"Lord Barbatos?"

After his tentative call received no response, Samuel looked out the window curiously at the wind that was flowing as usual.

He observed carefully for a long time with his dark white vertical pupils, but found that the wind was no different from usual.

It shouldn't be...

I did feel the vibration of wind elemental power just now...

But the fact is that the wind is calm before his eyes, and it is also a fact that Samuel no longer detects any trace of elemental force fluctuations.

This left him a little confused for a moment.

Could it be an illusion?

Was it because he missed Lord Barbatos too much that he had hallucinations for a moment?

Samuel blinked in confusion, and after a moment, his eyes returned to pure blue.

He was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Forget it, forget it.

If Lord Barbatos wakes up, he will definitely come to find him.

If He doesn't come to Him, He must have His own reasons.

Maybe he just revived and his strength is not sufficient?

Then he just waited;

Maybe he was busy with other things for a while?

There was nothing he could do but wait;

Maybe he is not satisfied with the current Mondstadt and it has not met his expectations?

Although he added many new systems and regulations to Mond during the months when his god was asleep, it did improve a lot.

But since Lord Barbatos is not satisfied.

That means he hasn't done well enough.

He still needs to keep working hard.

But…having said that.

If Lord Barbatos really didn't come to see him the first time because he didn't do well enough.

Although Samuel would not say anything, it was impossible for him to do anything for the god he loved.

But the little slime in my heart still feels a little sour after all.

Thinking of this, Samuel met Albedo and after receiving the compliment of "Looks good, suits you very well", he went out to the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

You can also take a look at Giuliana's preparation progress along the way.

On the way, he unconsciously planned more activities for the afternoon and began to seriously consider the schedule drawn up by the group leader, which he had originally been quite reluctant to do.

……

Batta took the cards that the nun had just randomly distributed, glanced at Eula and Amber who were discussing the rules over there, and then looked at Wendy who was standing there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

They were sitting on benches in a church affiliated with the Church of West Wind, in the Knights' quarters, trying to play a game devised by His Holiness Saint Samuel.

The name is "Qiuqiu Kill", and the number of players is not fixed, but generally ten people are the best.

There are only four of them in total, five if you include Leah, so they are currently waiting for everyone to arrive.

Usually each game will have three Hillilks, a priest, a witch, a hunter and four civilians.

The Hillocks are the only monster camp. They will negotiate at the "night" of each game to eliminate a player through "killing". The ultimate goal is to eliminate all players in the human camp;

The priest will pray to Lord Barbatos at "night", asking him to reveal the identity of any player;

The witch has two magic scrolls, one is healing magic, and the other is thunder magic. The healing magic can save the players killed by the hillbillies every night, and the thunder magic can eliminate the players of her choice on any night.

When a hunter is eliminated, he can "shoot" and choose to eliminate any player;

Civilians do not have any function and mainly vote to expel the Hillichuls by listening to other players' speeches and analyzing the situation on the field during the day.

In the first round, everyone will speak to compete for the "Medal of Honor" in order to obtain the position of "Honorary Knight". This position counts as two votes in the voting, and the position itself also has a certain appeal.

The rules are very simple, and Wendy understood them after listening to them once. They mainly test the player's communication, strategy and reasoning abilities.

Although he was somewhat surprised at how the little slime came up with such a game, his daze was definitely not just because of this.

——Just now he thought about it and had an ideological struggle over the idea of ​​"giving Samuel a surprise".

On the one hand, he wanted to know as soon as possible how the little slime was doing recently.

On the other hand, he felt that if he went over to take a look directly, there would be no surprise.

But in the end he couldn't help it, and he led a wisp of wind to take a sneak peek, thinking that Samuel would not be able to notice it so secretly.

He can know in advance how the other person is doing without affecting his ability to give the other person a surprise.

He had good thoughts, but he suddenly heard the alchemist say those words.

This is why he was stunned.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately cancelled the traction after a slight tremor, leaving only a small trace which would soon dissipate before he could react.

嗏

Feeling less free?

Wendy restrained her elemental power, lowered her eyes, and sighed slightly with some self-blame.

This deviates from his original intention.

His original intention was obviously just to make the little slime happier and enjoy it more.

Several foreign travelers and local Mond residents were interested in the event. After learning the rules from the nun and asking questions to their companions, they sat down.

Bartada was watching them. Just as he was about to talk to Wendy, he noticed that she seemed to be in a bad state, so he asked:

"What's wrong, great bard? Are you in a bad mood or did you not understand the rules? Do you need me to explain it to you again?"

Wendy came to her senses after hearing that, and she gathered her emotions, returning to her usual cheerful self.

He looked so relaxed, as if the person who was feeling guilty and lowering his eyes just now was not him.

"No need, Bartada, I was just thinking, I already understand the rules.

"It sounds simple, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be very playable."

Seeing Barta's suspicious expression, he briefly considered and added:

"You are truly worthy of your majesty. I never dreamed that there would be such a game!"

As expected, Bartada immediately revealed an expression of pride.

Wendy squinted her eyes, smiled and shook her head, then took the card distributed by the nun beside her.

This guy Bartada...

It seems that Samuel did a good job, otherwise Barta would not have such a strong sense of belief.

And...it seems that this Wind Flower Festival was also organized by him.

Thinking of tomorrow's Wind Flower Festival, the young bard's emerald green eyes revealed a hint of longing.

Really looking forward to it.

But thinking of what he had just heard, he began to think about how to help Samuel reduce his burden and make Samuel more relaxed.

At least, should we give freedom back to that little slime?

"Please check the cards in your hands to confirm your identity," the nun reminded.

Everyone is here, and the game begins.

Looking at the card in his hand with a picture of a noble priest, the God of Wind blinked his emerald green eyes.

"Do you all remember your identities?"

After confirming that everyone nodded, the nun cleared her throat and said:

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

……

"You two are very eloquent."

After playing a few games with Venti, Amber looked at Venti and another Liyue boy and praised them sincerely.

Although there is some helplessness in the words.

There's nothing that can be done about it. No one who plays this kind of game and is led by sweet words for several rounds will be very happy.

What's more, they were just applying the rules reasonably, and she was the one who was fooled by their words.

“No, no, compared to this green-clad bard, I am still slightly inferior.” The Liyue boy bowed.

"Thank you very much. This young man from Liyue is very calculating." Venti responded with a smile.

Eula, who had been fooled for several games just like Amber, was speechless when she saw the two of them flattering each other in business.

Although she had known that Xingqiu was good at speaking, it was only when they actually faced each other that she realized how difficult he was to deal with.

Yes, among the players who joined this game later was Xingqiu, and he was accompanied by his companion Chongyun.

But compared to Xingqiu, Chongyun seemed a little reserved.

Eula and Amber recognized them right at the beginning. Amber greeted them warmly, and then was warned by the nun, "After dark, please close your eyes and open your eyes in order to speak according to the rules."

From the "first day at dawn", when Venti and Xingqiu began to speak for the position of "Honorary Knight", Eula realized that something was wrong.

The result was as expected. After a few games, it was completely their home court.

It would be fine if they were not in the same camp, as long as there was an opponent of equal strength on both sides, the game would still be playable.

Although there is not much gaming experience, I am completely led by the rhythm.

But if they are in the same camp, then the enemy camp is doomed.

When it comes to fooling people, he doesn't even blink an eye.

Chongyun, who was sitting next to Xingqiu, was shocked at the time, staring blankly at Wendy.

In this world, there are actually people who are better at deceiving people than Xingqiu!

As for Batda...

"I don't want to play anymore, I don't want to play anymore." Barta covered his forehead with his hands, looking like he had a headache, "If I continue playing, I won't trust anyone anymore."

"If Dad doesn't play, then I won't play either." Leah, who was wearing a dark green skirt, echoed.

Eula and Amber looked at each other and nodded to each other in tacit understanding.

Then Amber cleared her throat and said to Wendy:

“Since Mr. Mueller doesn’t want to play anymore, shall we take him to report to the Knights’ headquarters?

"Xingqiu, Chongyun, we'll be leaving first."

"Goodbye, Miss Amber." Xingqiu and Chongyun bowed at the same time.

"And Miss Eula, Mr. Mueller, and this bard." Xingqiu added.

After playing a few games, he could almost tell that these people were a group of people.
