Wendy glanced at the direction Stanley left and said with a chuckle:”I can’t help it. Who told him to boast so much about Jack? But… look at it again, it’s really interesting.”

Ying nodded and praised softly. Said Wendy:”Wendy, you…are really a very gentle spirit.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”Wendy accepted it all and showed a smile, but then she shook her head and said:”Stanley is someone who is unwilling to forget the ‘past’ and abandon the ‘present’… If he is forced to take the first step towards the future If you step forward, in what direction will you step?”

“Wendy what are you talking about?”Paimon said that I didn’t understand. But when Wendy heard this, she smiled perfunctorily, then scratched her head and said,”Haha, just talking to myself.”

“By the way, everyone, tonight. Let’s go to ‘Angel’s Gift’ and have a look. I’m tired from running around all day today. Let’s have a drink together tonight. Xinghe, I have always missed your good wine, the mead I mentioned before”

“OK…”Xinghe did not refuse

===Dividing line===

At ten o’clock in the night, everyone slowly walked back to Mondstadt City as if on an outing, without using the portal. Jack didn’t know if he was too excited, so he took two things and ran back to Mondstadt at a very fast speed. Decheng.

Wendy also asked a lot of things on the way, such as the situation in the Sorcerous Kingdom, and some other messy things.

That’s all Xinghe could say. Rimuru, who went to deal with the end of the incident in the middle, also started chatting with the necklace. Suddenly they became familiar with each other. Rimuru directly invited a few people to come next time. Play in the Sorcerous Kingdom.

By the way, he also told Xinghe that because Xinghe didn’t go to ‘Rimuru City’, the children in it all missed Xinghe. This made Xinghe feel a little embarrassed.

Now that they have returned to Mondstadt, everyone went directly to Angel’s Gift.

Mr. Diluc is working as the bartender. When several people came in, Diluc nodded and said hello.”Good evening. I would like something to drink. The pub does not serve alcohol to minors.”

After ordering some fruit wine and juice, the group walked to Mr. Stanley in the corner of the pub and found a seat near him to sit down.

There were not many people in the tavern at this time, so the corner was very quiet. Because of what happened today, everyone’s attention was focused on Stanley, except Xinghe, who glanced at Stanley, then took out a few documents and read them carefully.

In addition, Stanley was sitting in the corner of the tavern, drinking hard. While muttering:”Stanley, what should I do…”

After hearing what Stanley said, Wendy seemed to be recalling something. The eyes have lost their brightness.

Stanley was obviously drunk here, muttering:”Stanley…tell me, what should I do?”…”

“Why is he calling his name?”Paimeng looked at the person next to him curiously and asked in a low voice.

Yingmei thought for a moment and shook her head:”I don’t understand. Is there something hidden? Is it possible that there is a second person named Stanley?”

At this time, Stanley, who was drinking heavily, lay on the table and cried:”Woo! Uh-huh…Stanley.”

After crying for a while, he lay on the wine table crying, sobbing and telling the truth without knowing the situation:”The one who died in the Sea of Ember Silence back then…why wasn’t it me! Why don’t you have the soul to stop me when I take your name? Stanley!”

In line with the quiet atmosphere of the tavern, the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy and sad. Everyone looked at Stanley

, who was lying on the wine table and sobbing. At this time, Stanley raised his head and continued to sob and cry softly due to the numbness of alcohol. He said:”If it weren’t for protecting me, a newcomer, you wouldn’t have died in that windless place! You already have the title of great adventurer, but, just for a waste like me, you can no longer become a legend.…”

“what on earth is it?”Paimon felt that he was completely confused.

Wendy also came back to her senses at this time, but Xinghe also raised his head slightly and said…My own appearance is not like this, I guess I borrowed Zhongli’s appearance too.、

“…I think he did find the Jingji Sea back then. The crisis encountered there is also real. It’s just that the companion who went on the adventure with him was the real”Stanley the Great Adventurer”. The real Stanley died trying to save the”Stanley” we know.”

“Ah…” Paimon looked at Stanley in great surprise and then looked at Wendy,”Then the reason why this ‘Stanley’ is called Stanley is because he ‘stole’ someone else’s name?”

Wendy nodded, but didn’t say much. The girl on one side had probably noticed the truth.

Stanley on the other side of the wine table began to sob again:”Stanley… I have been afraid for so many years. , I am afraid that people in Mondstadt will forget you completely, so I tell your adventure stories everywhere…”

At this point, Stanley raised his head and said cruelly:”I want everyone in Mondstadt to remember you, Stan. Lee has arrived at the center of the Silent Sea… He is the greatest adventurer, and he is alive! Stanley can’t die because I am!…Because I am…Stanley…”

The more Stanley said the last part, the more he choked up. But his eyes became firmer. But the more he said the last part, the more he choked up and cried:”I’m sorry, Stanley…even I am old. , I am getting old too…”

After a long time, Stanley sighed and said very sadly:”Alas…”

Isn’t this a kind of wear and tear that belongs to human beings?

At this time, Stanley seemed to feel his eyes coming back to his senses, and took a look I found Yingmei and the others:”You guys, when do you still want to eavesdrop?”

Now that they were all discovered, everyone did not hide anything, but stood up and walked over. Stanley glanced at several people, sobbed and said resolutely:”Let’s go, don’t ask anything, just let me know. Be quiet for a while…”

“Walk! Don’t make me say it a second time.”But at this time, Jack walked in. Seeing several people gathered together, he said excitedly:”Knight of Honor, Wendy! Great, you are 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!”

Wendy raised her eyebrows and said happily for him:”Oh? Really?

At this time, Jack could be said to be overjoyed and nodded:”Really!” They also said that they would pay someone to repair the ‘Glorious Sword of Courage’ and the ‘Glorious Shield of Will’ so that I could take them with me on the road.”

Everyone understands that Jack’s parents here should have seen Jack’s determination, so they prepared new equipment for him under the pretext of repair. After all, if you really go with these two weapons, you will be laughed at. He might not even be able to defeat a slime.

After hearing this, Wendy smiled knowingly:”That’s great. Jack, are you leaving Mondstadt and embarking on a tour of Teyvat?”

Jack was quite excited at first, but after hearing what Wendy said, he smiled and scratched his head awkwardly and said,”No, I’m not leaving just yet. With my current ability, I’m afraid it won’t be too far. Moreover, I want to hear Mr. Stanley’s story again. Hehe… After all, he is the starting point of my dream.”

As they spoke, everyone looked at Stanley.

Stanley was lying on the table, facing the wall, and he couldn’t be seen. Jack looked at Stanley helplessly and said,”Stanley first… ah , he was drunk again, but see you tomorrow, sir. When you sober up, can you tell me some stories?”

Obviously Jack still admires Stanley very much. After making these appeals, Jack left the tavern. His pace was confident and somewhat steady. It was a little different from the previous feeling. He did seem to have grown up.

Wendy looked at As Jack walked away, he looked down at Stanley and said with a smile:”I think Stanley likes this kid quite a lot, what do you think?”

Of course this question was asked to the girl on the side. After hearing Wendy’s words, Stanley slowly raised his head and burped,”Jack? Jack!”

“Jack has gone back”

“Really… Then, thank you for not telling my secrets.”

“Eh? Have you suddenly faced reality? This is not like you before.”Obviously Wendy was very surprised that Stanley directly accepted the reality.

But Stanley sighed and said slowly:”I…I didn’t even dare to look at him just now. His sincerity for adventure was untainted. I was a useless liar, but the kid was still a shining newcomer, so I couldn’t destroy his dream.”

Paimon didn’t know how to comfort Stanley, so he could only hesitate and said.”…It can’t be said that he is a liar, because Stanley’s adventure stories and experiences are all true.

After hearing this, Stanley sighed and said very self-deprecatingly:”Story…experience…ah, forget it.”…In fact, by now, my memories of the adventure and Stanley… have become blurry. This is my biggest secret, my biggest fear…”

Wear

“Over the years, I have lived for his story. But I can no longer remember his character and his life. Hahaha…” After saying that, he cried softly but also smiled miserably.”The only thing I can’t forget is that he died in the windless Ember Sea. The wind can’t take away his soul!

Wendy nodded gently when she saw this:”Well, that’s right… the real Stanley, in his memory, is no longer even that living friend. Instead, he will always be fixed in the appearance of that scarred warrior, bound

After hearing what Wendy said, Stanley raised his head again:”I’m old… No matter how much I don’t want to let go, I can’t keep much. I’m useless… But adventurers can’t. Die that way: No…”
