In the Lion of the South Wind Temple, Ying and Wendy were looking for Jack.

Paimon said from the side: “We seem to have explored this place before, right?”

“Now it has turned into a place for adventurers to take risks. In other words…didn’t our previous raids be clean enough?!”

Paimon felt extremely sad when he thought that the treasure they had left behind had been picked up by others.

“Fuck! As expected of you, Paimon! What a wonderful use of the word loot!”

“Hahaha, Paimon looks like an old robber when he opens his mouth!”

“Shut up! How can this adventurer’s business be called a raid?”

After a short adventure, Ying and Wendy successfully found Jack, and Jack was accompanied by an adventurer named Stanley.

After a brief greeting, Wendy explained his purpose.

Jack scratched his head and said, “So that’s it. I’m so sorry that I bothered you to save me.”

“Feng Shen personally brought a message and arranged a meeting!” Dai Xiaomei couldn’t help but say.

Stanley, who was standing next to Jack, couldn’t stand it any longer, “Ha! Mind your own business! There’s no need to save him at all! Is there anything else that Stanley, I, can’t handle?”

Afterwards, the group discussed and decided to continue venturing deeper.

On the way, Stanley boasted about his past in the Silent Ember Sea, “The Silent Ember Sea! The sea there is all made of ashes! My companion was almost swept away by the whirlpool! Thanks to me holding him tightly!”

“It’s a pity that I was the only one who finally set foot on my homeland, letting the wind blow the tears from my eyes…”

Seeing Jack next to him crying with great emotion, Stanley scolded: “Why are you crying? Our ideal as adventurers is to die in a windy place and let the wind bring our souls back to Mondstadt!”

Paimon was a little confused. What Jack and Stanley had said just now had been emphasizing that they must not die in a windless place.

Perhaps because of this, the windless Ember Sea is regarded as the most terrifying place.

At this time, Wendy suddenly made a discovery and asked Ying to use a detector to look at Stanley.

In the detector, there was a young man with a scarred face standing next to Stanley! The man’s expression was resolute, like a brave warrior, just like how Stanley described himself.

Both Ying and Wendy felt something was wrong.

Not far away, Stanley finished educating Jack, then said goodbye and left. Jack suddenly invited Ying and Wendy to help him find the weapons that Stanley used during his adventure.

The relics of the great hero Vanessa, [Sword of Brilliant Courage] and [Shield of Brilliant Will]. Both weapons were abandoned in the Dadaupa Gorge.

Ying quickly agreed, but Wendy was a little hesitant.

Jack: “The year before last, I asked someone to get a precious bottle of famous wine…”

Before Jack finished speaking, Wendy’s eyes lit up, “Dadaupa Canyon, right? Without further ado, let’s set off now!”

“Wendy: Is this a good thing? Let’s go!”

“Wendy: Forget it, I still…wait, is there wine? I’ll go now!”

“No way? You, the god of wind, are actually bought by wine like this?”

“I seriously doubt that if Madam had gotten a bottle of good wine, she wouldn’t have had to fight.”

In the game, Ying traveled all the way to the canyon and successfully found the legendary sword in the Qiuqiu camp.

After clearing away the Qiuqiu people, everyone gathered around the sword and looked at the extremely ordinary sword in confusion.

Jack: “Is this the [Sword of Brilliant Courage]?”

Seeing the disappointment on Jack’s face, Wendy said: “Just like the crystal butterflies flying outside Mondstadt, they are inconspicuous during the day but dazzling at night. The same is true for courage. When you are in a desperate situation, courage is when you step out. The only light in this desperate situation!”

Jack looked shocked: “You are absolutely right! This must be the [Sword of Brilliant Courage]!”

The traveler was stunned by the way Wendy kept talking.

After finding the sword, the group found the [Shield of Shining Will] in the hands of a Qiuqiu man. It was very ordinary, like a broken lid removed from a wine barrel.

Wendy: “Soldiers are proud of the scars on their bodies, and the same goes for shields. The more worn out the shield, the more it shows that it has experienced hundreds of battles? Even if the body is broken, it still has to fight on the battlefield until the last moment. This way Isn’t the will precious?”

Seeing Jack being fooled, the little girl smiled and said, “I really hope that the wind god will fool you…”

“It seems to make sense.”

“One dares to make it up, and three dare to listen.”

“Barbatos, the MLM genius!”

In the game, after several people had ineffective exchanges with the Qiuqiu people, they finally chose to use force to get the shield.

After beating away the Qiuqiu people, Jack successfully obtained the shield. Now his goal was successfully accomplished and he left extremely excited.

public

Only then did people realize that Stanley had been following them near them! But after a few casual quibbles, Stanley ran away.

Wendy felt that the matter was not simple, so she chased him all the way to the pub and found Stanley who was already drunk.

Stanley was obviously completely drunk. He was so dizzy that he didn’t know what he saw and suddenly started crying.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu Stanley, why wasn’t it me who died in the Sea of ​​Embers? I used your name in vain, why didn’t you stop me?”

“If it weren’t for protecting me, a newcomer, you wouldn’t have died in that windless place! You already have the name of a great adventurer, but because of me, a waste, you can no longer become a legend, wuwu~”

“I……”

From the fake Stanley’s words, the silly little girl and the water friends who had never done the mission all understood.

It turns out that the real Stanley had already died to protect the fake Stanley who was still a newcomer at the time. In order to prevent people from forgetting Stanley’s legendary story, the fake Stanley has been pretending to be Stanley and spreading his story everywhere.

But now, fake Stanley is also old.

His memory of the adventure, and even of Stanley, was hazy. This is his greatest secret and greatest fear.

He obviously lives for Stanley’s story, but now, he has completely forgotten about Stanley’s character and life. I just remember that Stanley died in the windless Ember Sea, and not even the wind could take away his soul…

During the game, Ying sighed, the fake Stanley’s life had been completely overwhelmed by guilt.

Wendy also nodded. In the memory of the fake Stanley, the real Stanley always looked like a scarred warrior, binding him all his life.

“I’m old. No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember many things. I’m so useless! It’s useless…”

“But adventurers, you can’t die in that way! You can’t…!”

The fake Stanley lying on the table fell into deep self-blame and regret.

It was all his fault that the real Stanley, the great legendary adventurer, died in the way that adventurers most fear and regret.

“Hans Archibald.”

At this moment, Wendy’s gentle voice suddenly sounded.

“You, how do you know my real name?!”

Fake Stanley raised his head in shock. This name had not been mentioned for countless years. It was obvious that even he had almost forgotten it.
