Genshin Impact: A set of magic armor at the beginning

Chapter 101
After Jack left, Paimon watched his leaving back.

"I think [Stanley] likes the kid Jack, what do you think?"

[Stanley] Although he stole other people's names, judging from his almost meticulous care for Jack today, he seems to like this new adventurer very much.

Maybe he saw the useless self from Jack, who had no ability.

"Jack. Jack?!"

Hearing Paimon say Jack's name, [Stanley] stood up from the wine table as if suddenly awakened, looked around quickly, but didn't find Jack.

"Jack has gone back." Seeing [Stanley] looking for Jack in a panic, Wendy said.

After hearing Wendy say that Jack had gone back, [Stanley] calmed down a bit.

"Is that so, then, thank you very much for not telling my secret." His expression became slumped, and [Stanley] lay down on the wine table again.

"Eh? Did you suddenly look directly at reality? This is not like you before." Seeing his uncharacteristic appearance, Wendy couldn't help but said.

[Stanley] Hearing this, he sighed lightly for some reason and shook his head: "I didn't even dare to look at him just now. His sincerity towards adventure has no impurity, it is unprecedentedly pure that I have ever seen."

"I'm just a tired and useless liar, a useless person who lives in the shadow of others. But that kid is different. He is a shining newcomer. I can't just ruin his dream like this."

After finishing speaking, [Stanley] laughed twice as if mocking himself.

"Actually, by now, my memory of adventures and Stanley has been blurred. This is my biggest secret, my biggest fear. All these years, I have lived for his story. But his character, his I can’t even remember my life, hahaha”

"The only thing I can't forget is that he died in the windless sea of ​​ember and silence. The wind can't take away his soul! No matter how old I am, I don't want to let go, and I can't keep many things."

"I'm so useless! Useless"

Lying on the wine table, [Stanley] began to sob in a low voice, and his trembling body proved the fear and anxiety in his heart.

The few people just looked at him without saying a word, because they didn't know how to comfort him until now.

"His life has been overwhelmed by guilt," Ying said after a long silence, with one hand on her chest, her expression seemed to be very sympathetic to the other party.

Wendy also nodded: "Well, that's right. The real Stanley, in his memory, is no longer even that vivid friend, but forever frozen in the appearance of a scarred warrior, restraining him all life."

There was a strange light in her pupils, and Wendy seemed to be able to see what happened in the Ember Sea that year: Stanley pushed his friend onto the boat, but he was swallowed by the monster behind him, and his soul was imprisoned in the sea forever. There.

"【Hans Archibald】?" Suddenly, Wendy said a name that made everyone present feel strange.

[Stanley] raised his head slowly, the name Wendy called out was so unfamiliar to him, yet so familiar.

Haven't heard it for years, it was originally his name.
After returning from the Ember Sea, in order to prevent Stanley from being forgotten by the world, [Hans Archibald], that is, he, took the name of his former friend on his shoulders, and told his adventures over and over again. other people.

So, everyone knew about the legendary adventurer Stanley, but no one remembered him, even he himself couldn't remember his own name.

But now, when Wendy called out her name, all the past was like a movie, showing scenes in front of her eyes.

Looking up at Wendy, Hans Archibald's eyes seemed to ask why he knew his name.

Wendy saw his doubts, but did not answer him.

In the next second, the surrounding scene changed, as if the two were teleported to another place.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing around, Hans Archibald stood up, and Wendy in front of him seemed to have become another person unconsciously.

No, to be precise, it should have become a god exuding freedom all over his body.
As for the wind around him, he seemed to have felt it somewhere.

That is the wind that cannot be asked for in the sea of ​​ember and silence
"I, I have always believed in your existence." Although it was the first time I saw him, as a citizen of Mond, Hans Archibald recognized Wendy's identity at a glance, "Barbatos grown ups."

After a moment of silence, Wendy acted very calmly, and slowly stretched out her hand towards him.

"Can you give me the soul of an old friend?"

After hesitating for a while, Hans Archibald finally chose to extend his hand.

The moment his hand touched Wendy's, the image of the person in front of him changed again, becoming Stanley who died in the Sea of ​​Ember.

The deceased old friend reappeared in front of his eyes and looked at him with a smile on his face. There seemed to be no intention of blaming him in his eyes, even though he had done many things that disappointed him over the years.

Or maybe he didn't achieve the goals he set for himself.

Stanley's body was wrapped in a cyan light screen, and he didn't say a word until he was slowly taken away by the wind.

Hans Archibald subconsciously wanted to catch him, but found that the other person's body was actually illusory, no matter how he tried to keep him, he couldn't keep him.

When Stanley's body completely disappeared, the surrounding scene changed again, and they returned to the tavern they were in before, and the person in front of them changed back to Wendy again.

Shocked by what happened just now, Hans Archibald took a long time to recover, and said to several people in a grateful tone: "It's really incredible, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, Lord Barbatos."

"Let me take some time to get my mood together though, but I think, I'll be fine"

Seeing that [Stanley] had cheered up a bit, Wendy nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, that's great. [Stanley] has found his true self, and Jack has succeeded in becoming self-reliant. So many good things combined, Worth drinking and celebrating!"

Sure enough, Wendy would immediately change back to her original form after doing a serious thing for the first time.

Lin Yan helped his forehead helplessly. Obviously, he felt very helpless about Wendy's textbook-like form transformation.

Moreover, he wants to drink. In fact, he wants to cause other people to pay for him.

But for the sake of what he has done tonight, Lin Yan can allow him to harm himself once.

"Then... buy a few glasses of wine and take them away, let's go to a higher place to drink together."
