The group gods who retired to fish in Genshin Impact

"How long do you guys want to eavesdrop on?"

Ginger Corpse, Wendy, Vanessa, Diluc, Sora and Paimon were watching Stanley perform.

However, Stanley took advantage of them and suddenly turned around and shouted to Jiang Shi and the others.

"Oops, I've been discovered!"

Paimon said shit, while turning around and pretending that nothing happened.

"Since the cover-up method has been discovered, it's better to go directly and ask."

Seeing Paimeng's deception, Jiang Zhi sighed helplessly and then said.

"You're right. Let's go up and ask."

Wendy also agreed with Jiang Shi and walked to Stanley with Sora and Paimon, ready to ask what exactly happened.

"Let's go! Don't ask anything...let me be alone for a while..."

Stanley looked at Wendy, Sora and Paimon who gathered around him, showing impatience and disappointment.

"But... you look like..."

Paimon is a little worried about Stanley.

"Let's go! Don't let me say it a second time!"

Stanley wanted to tell the truth, but for some reason, after hearing Paimon's words, an unknown fire arose for no reason, and he shouted angrily to tell Wendy, Sora and Paimon to stay away from him.

He didn't know where his nameless fire came from, but he thought it was because he hated himself for causing the real Stanley to die in the Sea of ​​Embers, and he was powerless. Now because of his strength and age, he was gradually unable to protect Stan. Leigh’s story...

After all, letting the real Stanley be forgotten is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Even the innocent spirit of adventure has been tainted by playing Stanley day after day...

"us……"

Paimon wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Knight of Honor, Wendy, and Paimon! Great, you're all here!

I'm looking for you everywhere! I'm here to say thank you, thanks to you for helping me find the sword and shield, and my parents agreed! "

Jack, Stanley's biggest fan, suddenly walked into the tavern, walked up to Wendy, Sora and Paimon and thanked them.

"Oh, really?"

Wendy confirmed happily.

"Really! They also said that they would pay someone to repair the "Brilliant Sword of Courage" and "Shield of Radiant Will" so that I could take them with me on the road. "

Jack was very happy. His dream of more than ten years was finally coming true, and he could finally go on an adventure in Mondstadt with Stanley.

"That's great. Jack, are you leaving Mondstadt and embarking on a tour of Teyvat?"

Wendy's voice was unusually gentle at the moment.

"No, I won't leave just yet. With my current ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk too far.

And, I want to hear Mr. Stanley's story again. Hehe... After all, he is the starting point of my dream.

Stanley first...ah, he's drunk again...

See you tomorrow, sir. When you sober up, can you tell me some stories? "

Jack said that he would not leave Mondstadt yet. After all, he could not walk too far with his current ability, and he also wanted to hear more stories about Mr. Stanley.

But when he greeted Stanley, he found that Stanley had fallen unconscious on the table, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to Stanley and said that he would continue to listen to his story tomorrow.

Then he turned away from the angel's gift.

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

Wendy glanced at Stanley, then looked at Sora and Paimon and asked.

"Hiccup~Jack? Jack!"

Stanley burped at this time, climbed up from the table, and called Jack.

"Jack has gone back."

Wendy said to Stanley.

"Really... Then thank you for not telling my secret to anyone... Sigh..."

Stanley was emotionally unstable, but he thanked Wendy, Sora, and Paimon.

"Huh? Are you suddenly facing reality? This is not like you before."

Wendy was stunned for a moment when Stanley got straight to the point. He thought Stanley would be tough for a while.

"I... I didn't even dare to look at him just now. His sincerity for adventure was without any impurities...

I was a tired, useless liar, but that kid was still a shining new kid, and I couldn't ruin his dreams. "

Although Stanley fell into paranoia in order to protect the real Stanley and prevent him from being forgotten by the world, he was still unwilling to destroy the faith of a new adventurer because of his deception.

"You can't say he's a liar, right? Because the adventure stories and experiences of "Stanley" are all true. "

Paimon comforted Stanley and said that the real Stanley had experienced these adventures. How could these stories be false?

"Stories...experiences...heh, forget it.

In fact, by now, my memories of the adventure and Stanley... have become blurry.

This is my biggest secret, my biggest fear...

Over the years, I have lived for his story. But I can no longer remember his character and his life. Hahaha……

The only thing I can't forget is that he died in the windless Ember Sea, and the wind couldn't take away his soul! "

Stanley hated himself extremely. It was him who had caused the real Stanley to suffer, and made the real Stanley stop at the position of a great adventurer forever.

He originally wanted to keep Stanley's story alive, but found that as he grew older, Stanley's story, character, and life had gradually been forgotten.

He couldn't even recall what the real Stanley looked like.

This is what he fears most. If he forgets the real Stanley, then what will happen no matter how many Stanley stories are spread in this world?

No matter how unwilling he is, he has to admit that mortals are as insignificant in the face of time as sand in the water...

"Are we only left with imaginary friends..."

Kong looked at Stanley and said, this should be the reason why he saw a scarred Stanley when he observed Stanley before.

"Well, that's right, the real Stanley is no longer even that living friend in his memory.

Instead, he will always look like a scarred warrior, binding him all his life. "

Wendy gave Sora an affirmative answer.

"I'm old... No matter how much I don't want to let go, I can't keep many things...

I'm so useless! Useless...

But adventurers cannot die in that way...cannot..."

Stanley's voice was filled with pain.

"Hans Archibald."

Just as Stanley was immersed in pain, Wendy's voice woke him up.

"Ha...ha...how do you know...my real name..."

Hans Archibald was surprised when he heard Wendy call out his real name. Why would Wendy know his real name?
