Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"What's wrong with you guys?" The sensitive Ying noticed that Luo Chaya and Wendy were a little abnormal in their emotions, and couldn't help but frowned.

"Ah? It's okay! We're fine." Luo Chaya smiled and waved her hands. She looked at the two adventurers behind Ying and asked, "Are these two adventurers from the Adventurer's Association? What are their names?"

"Ah! Um, hello! I'm Jack, and this is the great adventurer Mr. Stanley!" The young adventurer scratched his head and introduced himself a little embarrassedly, but when he introduced the bearded adventurer next to him, he became very excited and did not hide his admiration for the other party.

"Adventurer Stanley?" Luo Chaya repeated the name, and the impression of this story slowly emerged in her vast memory. Oh, it turned out to be them!

"Eh? So it's the adventurer Mr. Stanley? I've heard of your name many times! Legend has it that you reached the depths of the Cinders Sea and returned successfully!" Wendy looked at Stanley with a surprised expression.

Paimon, who was standing by, was also shocked when she heard this. She looked at Stanley in disbelief, "What? You are so powerful? What is the Sea of ​​​​Silence?"

Stanley was very embarrassed. He smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Ahahaha! It's all in the past! But I am indeed great. Don't worship me too much!"

Jack said to Paimon, "The Sea of ​​Silence is made up of countless ashes. It is a plain without a single breath of wind. It is a place that many adventurers want to explore. Mr. Stanley is a great adventurer who successfully returned from the Sea of ​​Silence!"

Luo Chaya clapped her hands and looked at Stanley with admiration. She said, "That's amazing! Mr. Stanley, you are truly a great adventurer!"

"Humph! Of course! I am Stanley who has been to the Sea of ​​Silence!" Stanley put his hands on his waist, pointed to the place behind him that was surrounded by the hillbillies, and said: "If you hadn't intervened, these hillbillies would not be a challenge to me at all!"

After hearing this, Paimon and Jack admired Stanley even more, but Ying instinctively felt that something was wrong and looked at Wendy and Luo Chaya. They both looked at Stanley with a smile on their faces.

strangeness.

Ying had no choice but to temporarily suppress her doubts.

"So, Mr. Stanley, what are you going to do with Jack now? Can we have the honor to join you?" Wendy asked Stanley with a smile.

Stanley looked at Wendy, then at Luo Chaya and Ying, pretending to be in deep thought before nodding: "Yeah! No problem, you don't look like the kind of people who would hold us back! It's okay for you to join, but you must remember that during the adventure, you need to obey my command, Stanley!"

"No problem!" Luo Chaya agreed immediately.

After everyone followed Stanley and Jack on their journey, Ying walked up to Luo Chaya and Wendy and asked in a low voice, "Wendy, what's going on? Why do you suddenly want to join his adventure?"

Wendy laughed and made a hush gesture. Luo Chaya said, "Ying, you'll know when it's over! Believe in Wendy. Even though he's not serious, he won't do anything boring."

"Oh my, Luo Chaya really understands me." Wendy looked at Luo Chaya with a smile.

Ying looked at Wendy, then at Luo Chaya, and finally chose to believe Luo Chaya's words. She was right. Although Wendy was unreliable and didn't look like a god, he was not a god who would do boring and useless things.

Everyone followed Stanley and listened to him talk about the journey to the Sea of ​​​​Silence. These things were all Stanley's personal experiences, and even among adventurers, they were extremely legendary stories.

Paimon was completely immersed in it.

The sentence Stanley emphasized most was that as adventurers, they must never die in a place without wind.

This is not just his idea, but that of all Mondstadt people. They believe in the wind god and do not want to rest in a place where the wind cannot reach them. In other words, this is also their attachment to their hometown.

"Mr. Stanley is really amazing!" Jack looked at Stanley with great admiration.

Stanley brought Jack to an abandoned secret realm, which seemed to be full of dangers, but because it had been abandoned, the real danger was not that great, and most of the problems that arose were solved by Ying. Everyone walked out of the secret realm safely.

After walking out of the secret realm, Stanley left first with an excuse.

After experiencing the secret realm, Paimon gradually came to her senses and felt that something was wrong with Stanley. But with Jack beside her, she didn't say much to avoid causing any bad influence on Jack.

However, it is already a recognized fact by Paimon and Ying that Stanley has problems.

In response, Wendy smiled mysteriously and said to the two: "Don't worry, we will go to Angel's Gift tonight, and then you will know what Stanley is like."

"Eh? "Angel's Gift"? " Paimon looked at Wendy in confusion, not knowing what the connection was between them.

Even so, everyone came to "Angel's Gift" at night. As soon as they entered the door, Paimeng saw Stanley sitting at the table drinking alone. She was about to talk to Luo Chaya and the others, but Ying pulled her cloak behind her, signaling her not to speak.

The four of them came and sat down at the table next to Stanley.

"Stanley...tell me! What should I do?"

"Stanley" muttered while lying on the table. After hearing his voice, Paimon felt strange, "Huh? Why is he calling his own name? Could there be someone else named Stanley?"

Wendy winked at Paimon, asking her to listen patiently.

Stanley's voice gradually turned into sobbing.

"Stanley... Why wasn't it me who died in the Sea of ​​Silence? Why didn't your soul come to stop me when I used your name? Stanley! If it wasn't for protecting a newcomer like me, you wouldn't have died in that windless place!"

"You already have the title of a great adventurer! But, because of a loser like me, you can never become a legend again!"

"This..." Paimon looked at Stanley and became confused.

Wendy said slowly: "He did reach the Sea of ​​Silence that year, and the dangers he described were all real. However, the partner who traveled with him was the real "Great Adventurer Stanley". The real Stanley died to save the "Stanley" in front of us."
