Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 287 If you are trapped in a windless place

After coming out of Jin Enbo's house, Ying was a little confused: "This kind of thing doesn't look good. Why is Mr. Bai so interested in this?"

"Why don't we forget about this for now? It's getting late. Let's go to Mondstadt as soon as possible!" Pamon urged eagerly. She also wanted to go to the Deer Hunter for a piece of Fisherman's Vomit before going to the tavern. Si.

Gan Lin looked at the extremely excited Paimon and sighed helplessly: "Why are you so anxious? Fisherman Toast won't run away on his own."

When they arrived at the tavern, they saw Diluc leaning on the bar with one hand on his hips and looking at them: "Today is a rare gift from an angel. There are not many people in the tavern, so I am happy to be quiet."

"It can be seen that Diluc still likes fishing." Ying looked around and saw that there were indeed a lot less people. Not far away, he actually found a drunk Stanley, sitting behind him and waving to the three of them. of Wendy.

"We want three cups of fruit tea, um, any flavor is fine!" Hearing Paimon's order, Diluc raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I understand."

Then three glasses of lemonade were placed in front of them.

Ying, Ganlin, Paimon:...

Wendy, who sat behind Stanley, had something wrong with her expression. After the three of them came over with lemonade, they heard Stanley's voice.

"Stanley...tell me, what should I do..." Ying frowned slightly, was he saying his name? Why?

"Eh? Why is he calling his name?" Little Paimon whispered, while Wendy turned her head and looked at Stanley quietly behind her.

"Is there anyone else named Stanley?" Ying Ye asked in confusion.

Wendy shook her head: "No way, even I have never heard of the second Stanley."

Although Wendy hasn't been to Mondstadt for a long time, he still remembers everyone's names.

Gan Lin looked at Wendy's expression and felt that at this time, Wendy seemed to have understood what happened to 'Stanley'.

Stanley, who was drunk, was lying on the table. He lost all the momentum he had when he was in the temple. He let out a whimpering cry, which was particularly clear at this time when there were few people.

"Why wasn't it me who died in the Sea of ​​Embers? Why didn't your soul even come to stop me when I took your name for granted! Stanley!"

Hearing this, Ying opened her mouth slightly, and was so shocked that she looked at Paimon with the same expression, but did not make any sound.

Stanley, who was lying on the table, wiped his tears: "If it weren't for protecting me, a newcomer, you wouldn't have died in that windless place!"

Wendy lowered her head sadly, with an unpredictable expression, not knowing what she was thinking. Gan Lin patted his shoulder comfortingly.

"I was asleep at that time...I didn't know anything." Wendy explained softly.

'Stanley' with a trembling voice behind him continued to murmur: "You already have the title of great adventurer, but, for a waste like me, you can no longer become a legend..."

Listening to the cry of 'Stanley', Paimon couldn't help but rub his eyes: "This...what on earth is going on?"

Wendy sighed: "...I think he did find the Sea of ​​Ember Silence back then. The dangers he encountered there were also real."

Wendy turned her head and looked at the wine glass in front of her. The foam of the beer on it was slowly dissipating: "It's just that the companion who went on the adventure with him is the real adventurer Stanley."

Paimon looked sadly at Stanley, who was lying on the table and crying with the help of alcohol. Wendy's words were still in his ears.

"The real Stanley died trying to save the Stanley we know."

Hearing such words, Ying's golden eyes also had some unbearability and worry, and she lost the smile that had been hanging on her lips for a long time.

"In other words, the reason why this Stanley is called Stanley is because he stole someone else's name?" Paimon guessed with his hands behind his back.

Wendy nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case."

'Stanley' continued: "Stanley... I have been afraid for so many years. I was afraid that people in Mondstadt would forget you completely, so I told your adventure stories everywhere..."

Gan Lin looked at Wendy who looked very calm and felt a little sad. Wasn't it the same for Barbatos and the boy?

And in Wendy's words, his current appearance was just borrowed from his friend.

Cutting flesh with a dull knife, this slow knife-man's way, really made a certain game company perfect at it.

Then he wiped his tears and his choked voice became firm and powerful: "I want everyone in Mondstadt to remember! Stanley arrived at the center of the Sea of ​​Ember... He is the greatest adventurer, and he is still alive!"

Gan Lin silently withdrew his eyes from looking at Stanley's back. This move was really cruel. He used Stanley's story to tell Wendy's past.

Listening to the crying from behind, and the words: "Stanley will not die, because I am!...Because I am...Stanley..."

In the end, Stanley once again lay on the table and cried for a long time. When he raised his head again, he turned sideways and seemed no longer so confused: "Hey, you guys, how long are you going to overhear!"

Paimon panicked: "What happened! He discovered it!"

Several people got up and came to sit next to Stanley. Stanley, who regained his energy, sighed: "Let's go, don't ask anything, let me be alone for a while..."

Paimon said worriedly: "But..."

Stanley's voice was loud, and he interrupted Paimon's words: "Let's go! Don't let me say it a second time!"

Jack happened to arrive at the tavern at this time: "Knight of Honor, Wendy, and Paimon! Great, you are all here!"

Then he quickly took two steps forward: "I'm here to say thank you! Thanks to you for helping me find the sword and shield, my parents agreed!"

Wendy's voice was still as steady as ever, with a gentle smile: "Oh? Really?"

Jack nodded happily: "Really, they also said that they want to find someone to repair the Sword of Brilliant Courage and the Shield of Brilliant Will, so that I can take them with me on the road."

Wendy nodded: "That's great. Jack, are you leaving Mondstadt and setting off on a tour of Teyvat?"

Jack was still very self-aware. He touched his head and smiled sheepishly: "No, I won't leave just yet. With my current ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk too far."

Then he looked behind him at Stanley, who was drinking alone again: "Besides, I also want to hear Mr. Stanley's story. Hehe, after all, he is the starting point of my dream."

"Stanley first...ah uh...he's drunk again..."
