Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 288 May the God of Wind bless you

[I bet, definitely pretending to sleep. ]

[I was drinking just now, how could I fall asleep all of a sudden. ]

[Speaking of Stanley’s story, I felt a little sad when I heard it. ]

[No, I don’t feel anything. Are you too sensitive? ]

Jack's disappointed expression calmed down after a while, and then he said to Stanley who was lying on the table without raising his head: "See you tomorrow, sir. When you wake up, can you tell me some stories?" "

Then he turned and left the tavern. Looking at his back happily walking away, Wendy turned around, and Master Fengshen looked at someone lying on the table pretending to sleep with gentle eyes.

"I think Stanley likes the kid, don't you?"

Do you think Mr. Fengshen is asking Stanley, who is sitting next to Stanley and laughing helplessly, or is he asking the trio watching the show?

At this time, Stanley happened to belch. Seeing that he could not pretend to sleep, he raised his head and shouted Jack's name.

Wendy curled her lips: "Jack has gone back."

Stanley sighed: "Really... Then, thank you for not telling my secret."

Seeing Stanley's obvious change in personality, Wendy spread her hands and said, "Eh? Are you suddenly facing reality? This is not like you before."

Stanley lowered his head sadly, holding his head with his hands: "I...I didn't even dare to look at him just now. His sincerity for adventure is without any impurities..."

Stanley tugged at his hair: "I am a tired and useless liar, but that kid is still a shining newcomer. You can't destroy his dream because of me."

Paimon shook his head and comforted Stanley: "You can't call him a liar, right? Because Stanley's adventure stories and experiences are all true."

The door of the tavern behind him shook slightly. Diluc, wearing night clothes, quietly walked out of the back door, while asking Charles to hang a rest sign in front.

Diluc, who had listened halfway, could probably guess what happened to this drunken adventurer.

Stanley smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Story...experience...ha, forget it."

He raised his head slightly: "Actually, until now, my memories of adventure and Stanley... have become blurry."

Stanley closed his eyes. Unlike the way he cried before, he seemed to be crying more quietly.

Gan Lin also couldn't bear it. She looked up at Wendy across from her. Wendy's expression did not change at all, and she still had a sunny and gentle smile on her lips.

"This is my biggest secret, my biggest fear..." He was afraid that he had forgotten Stanley.

Stanley lowered his head and his voice trembled: "Over the years, I have lived for his stories. But I can no longer remember his character and his life..."

Having said this, Stanley could no longer suppress his emotions. Sadness took away his reason. Stanley, who seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, was particularly obvious in the quiet tavern.

Gan Lin lowered his head, as if someone was holding his hand, but it was not Ying or Paimon. Gan Lin could not see the young version of himself without the help of glasses.

He tightened his hand slightly, as if he could feel the warmth of another person in his hand.

Someone else…?

Gan Lin was stunned for a moment. Since Stanley's imaginary friend is Stanley himself, then her...

At this time, Stanley continued to speak: "The only thing I can't forget is that he died in the windless Ember Sea. The wind can't take away his soul!"

Ying whispered: "This person's life has been overwhelmed by guilt."

Wendy nodded: "Well, that's right. The real Stanley is no longer even that living friend in his memory."

"But it will always be fixed in the appearance of a scarred warrior, binding him all his life."

Hearing Wendy's words, Stanley sighed with emotion: "I'm old. No matter how reluctant I am to let go, I won't be able to keep many things..."

Then he fell into autistic mode again, repeating over and over again, ‘I’m so useless! ’, the noise here was so loud that Gan Lin couldn’t calm down and think about some of the issues he just thought of.

The feeling in her hands disappeared again. Ying looked at Gan Lin beside her, then looked down at the little 'Gan Lin' who was tugging at the corner of her skirt and blinked in confusion.

"But, adventurers, you can't die in that way... you can't..."

Seeing such a sad adventurer, Wendy lowered her head and closed her eyes.

The voice was still so calm, but when it rang in 'Stanley's' ears, it was like thunder.

"Hans Archibald?"

Hans, who had not heard this name for who knows how long, froze on the spot, blinked twice slowly, and finally decided to look up at the four people in front of him.

"How do you...know my real name?" Seeing Hans like this, Wendy narrowed her eyes slightly. You see, although we teased Barbatos for not doing serious business, he remembers the names of everyone in Mondstadt.

The smile on Wendy's lips remained unchanged. The wind that had lasted for thousands of years was blowing around him, and the wind turned into fluorescent feathers and fell around a few people.

Hans was a little surprised. He looked at this scene as if he saw some pillar: "The wind... is something you can't find in the Jingji Sea... the sound of wind!"

The moment his eyes fell on Wendy, all his thoughts stopped for a moment.

Behind Wendy, there was a beautiful shimmer like his eyes. Behind him, it was like the alternation between day and night. There were stars above and below, it was like the rising sun, which was so bright that it was hard to open your eyes.

If you are trapped in a windless land, I will play the song of the sky.

Since Wendy said his name, she hasn't said a word again. Even though she brought the person into her pure land, she just looked at Hans with a gentle expression, who was gradually losing his temper.

Hans stood up quickly, ignoring the changes in the surrounding scenery. He stammered: "I...I have always believed in your existence..."

Hans's eyes were wide open. He couldn't believe that he had seen the god he believed in, and that he actually knew his name...

Barbatos looked at his people gently, and he stretched out a hand: "Can you give me the soul of your old friend?"

Hans seemed to calm down. He looked at Barbatos' face with a gentle smile, and then at the hand he extended to himself.

Without too much hesitation, he stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched it, a blue-green light suddenly lit up.

Hans felt that his heart seemed to have calmed down a lot, and the self-blame and guilt he had felt for many years seemed to have eased a lot.

He finally raised the corners of his mouth and raised his eyes again. The person standing in front of him was no longer Barbatos.
