Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 78 The Adventurer's Original Intention
"Leave, don't ask anything, leave me alone for a while..."

Stanley said sullenly.

"But…"

Paimon also wanted to comfort the crying middle-aged man, who was ruthlessly rejected by Stanley.

"Go! Don't make me say it a second time!"

Just when Paimon was at a loss, a familiar young voice came.

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

"I'm looking for you everywhere! I'm here to thank you, and thanks to the sword and shield you helped me find, and the words you told me, my parents gave me permission to go on an adventure!"

It was the afternoon when Jack hurried home.

"Oh, really?"

Wendy asked suspiciously. What he said was okay to deceive the newcomers who had just joined the Adventurer's Association. If it was Jack's parents...

"Really! They also said they would pay Master Wagner to fix the dagger and shield and let me take me on the road."

Jack said excitedly, looking at Stanley who pretended to be drunk and lay unconscious on the table.

"That's good. Jack, are you leaving Mond and set out on a tour of Tivat?"

Wendy and Ying did not dismantle Stanley's disguise, but only asked pure Jack.

"No, I haven't gone yet. With my current ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to go too far."

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

"but…"

Jack shook his head and looked at Stanley on the table.

"Mr. Stanley...drunk again..."

"See you tomorrow, sir. Tell me a story when you're sober?"

Glancing at Stanley helplessly, Jack turned around and left the pub.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, Jack has already gone back."

Leaning against the railing on the second floor, Wendy watched Jack walk out of the pub, then turned around and knocked on Stanley's prone table.

"You really like this kid."

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

Using his elbows, Stan propped himself up and slowly sat up.

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

Wendy smiled and teased Stanley without malice.

"I... I didn't even dare to look at him just now. His sincerity for adventure has no impurities..."

Stanley lowered his head, his cloudy eyes looking at the pitted wine table.

"I'm a useless liar, but the kid is still a shiny newcomer, and he can't destroy his dreams."

"Story...experience...Oh, forget it."

"This is my biggest secret, my biggest fear... The only thing I can't forget is that he died in the windless sea of ​​embers, and the wind can't take his soul away!"

Stanley pressed his entire face to the table, letting the tears and saliva mix.

"His life was overwhelmed with guilt, and all that was left was fantasy friends..."

Wendy sighed deeply,

"The real Stanley, in his memory, is no longer even that fresh friend. Instead, he is forever fixed in the appearance of a soldier with scars, binding all his life."

Both Ying and Paimon looked at the fake Stanley on the wine table pitifully, said nothing, and then looked at Wendy at the same time.

"Hans Yazibald."

Wendy walked across Stanley's table and whispered a name.

"You, how do you know my real name?"

Stanley, no, it should be Hans, when he heard the name, he raised his head in surprise, his pupils dilated rapidly, as if thinking of something, he stared at Wendy motionless.

"Give me the soul of an old friend, okay?"

In an instant, the overwhelming cyan wind shrouded the entire second floor, covering everything in the tavern. There was only a reassuring light cyan in the field of vision. Clear tenderness.

Wendy reached out to Hans.

In Hans's eyes, what appeared was his close friend, mentor, and savior Stanley, smiling at him.

"Is that you? Stanley..."

Hans stood up and instinctively grabbed the illusion in front of him with his own hands.

What he got was a figure blowing in the breeze, but the warm feeling of deja vu let him know that Lord Barbatos had received Stanley's soul.

"It's...it's incredible."

"Thank you...Thank you, Lord Barbatos..."

"I'm sorry, I still need some time to adjust my mood..."

"But I thought, I'll be fine..."

Stanley felt a little dizzy and couldn't tell whether he was in a fantasy world or the real world.

Finally, Hans, who was wobbly, sat down again, lay on the edge of the table, and fell asleep.

"Maybe he can have a good dream"

"Well, that's great! Stanley has found his true self, and Jack has managed to stand on his own."

Wendy smiled happily and nodded to Ying and Paimon.

"Is this the true strength of Lord Barbatos, the god of wind?"

Paimon opened his mouth wide, and the drinkers on the first floor of the tavern were still eating and drinking without any scruples, as if nothing had happened just now. Only Ying and Paimon knew that the place that the boundless wind was attached to was not an illusion, but a warm place. The windless sea of ​​embers in Di's mouth.

Just now, Wendy retrieved Stanley's soul directly from the sea of ​​embers.

"So many good things combined, it's worth a drink to celebrate!"

Ignoring Paimon's sigh, Wendy looked at Ying with a shocked expression.

"Are you going to stay in this tavern without getting drunk?
I don't know whether to say it's heartless, or Paimon, who is very adaptable, immediately asked.

"Haha, the wine here is too expensive. The remuneration Jack owes me hasn't been paid yet. He promised me the precious wine, remember?"

Wendy shook her head, moved slightly, and was about to leave.

"I'll go to him first and ask for that bottle of wine, and I'll gather at the 'old place' in a while!"

"Hey? What old place, how come I don't know? Hey! Hey, sing!"

Seeing Wendy leaving, Paimon just wanted to stop her, but Wendy had already disappeared.

"I think I might know... maybe."

Ying nodded gently, "Well, the old place, see you soon!"

"Hey, what kind of riddle are you playing!"

Ying and Wendy's riddle made Paimon madly kicked his legs in the air, and flew to the top of Ying's head angrily, messing up Ying's golden hair with his little hands.
