Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Ying said she didn't know what Wendy was talking about and looked at Paimon in confusion. Not surprisingly, Paimon also had a face full of question marks.

Paimon: Paimon doesn’t know~

Although Wendy saw the doubts of the two, she did not explain much.

"Haha, just talking to myself."

"Let's go to the Angel's Gift Tavern tonight."

......

"Wendy doesn't seem nice!"

"Yeah, you actually want to take a minor drinking!"

"Ying is at least 500 years old, how could she be a minor?"

"I'm talking about Paimon!"

......

As Wendy gradually walked away, Hines and the other two decided to return to Mondstadt first, as it was still some time before nightfall.

Ying looked at Paimeng and said word by word,

"This time, no more shouting. It's time to rest."

Paimon smiled sheepishly, raised his hand and swore that he would hurry on his way! If he broke his oath, then Hinesh would be made ten centimeters shorter!

Hines:?

The three of them set off again, Ying took the guys who were eating, Hines took Mora, and Paimon took the big bag on his head.

Time flies, and night slowly falls.

As soon as the three of them entered Angel's Gift, they saw Wendy and Stanley sitting at the table behind Wendy.

The pub was particularly quiet today. Stanley sat in the corner of the pub, and the only person sitting next to him was Wendy.

The group quietly sat down next to Wendy without attracting Stanley's attention.

"How much did he drink..."

Paimon complained quietly.

Ying raised her index finger and made a 'hush' sound.

"Quiet, he seems to be saying something..."

Paimon pricked up his ears and heard,

"Stanley...tell me, what should I do?"

The man who called himself Stanley asked the question, his tone full of helplessness.

"Huh? Why is he calling his name?"

Paimon frowned again and again, things were indeed not simple!

Ying was also a little strange.

"Is there another Stanley?"

Wendy thought it was a little funny.

"No way, even I didn't know there was another Stanley..."

The man behind him kept repeating Stanley's name, and gradually his voice became a little tearful.

"Woo woo~ Stanley..."

"Why...wasn't it me who died in the Sea of ​​Silence?"

"Why didn't you stop me from using your name... Stanley..."

"If it weren't for me...how could you have died in that windless place..."

He kept talking about these secrets that no one knew, and the sadness in his words was relatable.

The man who called himself Stanley was lying on the table sobbing, not looking like a heroic adventurer at all.

"What... is going on?"

Paimon already knew that this man was definitely not Stanley, but who was he?

Ying and Shines shook their heads when they saw Paimon's pleading look.

"I think... he did find the Sea of ​​Silence..."

"It's just that the dead companion who took the adventure with him was the real Stanley..."

Wendy's voice answered Paimon's doubts.

Paimon suddenly realized,

"So this Stanley is called Stanley because he stole someone else's name?"

Hines shook his head and corrected Paimon's statement.

"You can't say stealing, it would be more appropriate to say inheritance."

The man behind me was still whispering.

"Stanley... I'm afraid the Monds have forgotten all about you..."

"So tell your story everywhere..."

"I want all Mond people to remember Stanley, the greatest adventurer!"

"He once reached the center of the Sea of ​​Silence... and he's still alive!"

"Stanley won't die, because I am Stanley!"

His voice suddenly became high-pitched, but fortunately Wendy covered his voice with the wind so that no one noticed.

After the emotional outburst, his voice was filled with sadness.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Stanley... I'm old..."

Hines walked up to him silently and placed his hand on his shoulder.

At this moment, Hines could really understand Stanley's powerlessness.

He, or they, can't do anything...

Stanley looked at Hines behind him and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You all heard it, right? Don't ask anything, just leave me alone..."

Coincidentally, Jack showed up at this moment, and he saw everyone happily telling them that his parents agreed to his adventure.

"Is Mr. Stanley drunk again?"

Jack looked at Stanley, who was pretending to be drunk, with admiration.

"See you tomorrow, sir!"

Jack left, walking at a brisk pace on the adventure Stanley had described to him.

Stanley secretly watched Jack leave,

"Thank you for not telling my secret..."

Hines looked at the dejected Stanley and spoke softly,

"That child's passion for adventure is all because of you. How could we destroy a child's wish?"

Ying also spoke in agreement,

"Yes, it's all thanks to your stories about Stanley's adventures..."

Ying was interrupted before she could finish her words. Stanley's smile was filled with sadness.

"Story? Forget it... Actually, my memory of Stanley has become fuzzy..."

“This is my biggest fear…”

"I'm afraid...I'll forget him too!"

"The only thing I can't forget is... he died in the windless Sea of ​​Silence. The wind couldn't take his soul away!"

Stanley's face was covered with tears and his smile disappeared.

Hines was silent. How much of his memory was left? Would there ever be a day when all I could remember was the lake he had transformed into?

No, it won't. The memories of the past gradually wear away, but new memories will make up for it.

Egolia, I must let you see the world you love with your own eyes...

Wendy naturally didn't know what was going on in Hines' mind. She looked at Stanley.

"That's right, the real Stanley is no longer the vivid friend in your memory..."

"He was frozen in the image of the scarred warrior..."

Stanley couldn't refute Wendy's words, he just kept emphasizing,

"I'm so useless... but adventurers can't die like that! No!"

Wendy looked at his believers. Thousands of gentle breezes swirled continuously, and even in the tavern with its doors and windows closed, traces of wind could be seen.

"Hans Archibald..."

A comfortable breeze blew up the ends of his hair. The man who called himself Stanley saw the wind, the wind he had been longing for in the sea of ​​embers.

"How do you know my real name?"

Wendy did not answer, but stretched out her hand to him.

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

Hans tentatively put his hand on Wendy's hand, and in a trance, he saw the real Stanley standing in front of him.

Qianfeng took away his soul...

"What about you, Hines? Do you still want to bind His soul?"

Wendy looked back at Hines with a complicated look in her eyes.
