Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

After completing the daily tasks of the Adventurer's Guild, Yan and his group began to wander around Mondstadt.

Heng wanted to leave for Liyue as soon as possible, but Kong and Paimon thought they should stay in Mondstadt for two days first.

Everyone came to Mond Square and saw a little girl talking to herself.

"What is she doing?" Paimon looked at Kong in confusion.

"Maybe he's chatting with his imaginary friend?" Sora explained.

"Imaginary friend?"

"It's the friend that you imagined to play with when you were a kid."

"Does Naka also have an imaginary friend?"

“I did, but it disappeared when I grew up.”

"Yan, do you have an imaginary friend?" Paimon looked at Yan and asked.

"Why do you think I have this kind of thing?"

Paimon: "That's true. How could a guy like you have that?"

"Hello everyone, haven't you set off for Liyue yet?" Wendy walked towards everyone and greeted them.

"They said that since Liyue's summoning ceremony will not begin for some time, it would be better for us to stay in Mondstadt for a few days first." Heng explained briefly.

"So that's it. I borrowed a fun thing from Lisa. Do you want to play with it?" Wendy said as she took out a device.

"What is this?" Paimon asked curiously.

"This is a device that can help you see imaginary friends. As long as you put it on, you can see other people's imaginary friends. Do you want to try it?" Wendy looked at her.

"It's boring, you guys can play with it by yourselves." Yu said thank you but it's not necessary.

Wendy smiled and looked at Sora again, "What about you?"

"I'll try."

Sora put on the device and looked at the little girl who was talking to herself not far away.

"How is it, how is it, can you see it?" Paimon asked impatiently.

"Okay," Sora nodded, "Her imaginary friend is a little girl her own age."

"It's amazing." Paimon said excitedly. If she could put on the device, she would definitely try it.

"Sora," Paimon floated to Sora's ear and whispered, "Go see if that fellow Yan has any."

"it is good"

Kong looked at Yan. He originally thought that Yan was gone, but he saw two people next to Yan, and they didn't look like Mond people.

Sora rubbed his eyes and looked again, but his imaginary friend had disappeared.

"How about it? Is there any?"

"No." After thinking about it, Kong felt that Yan must have his own secret, so it was better not to tell it out.

"What are you talking about?"

Yan suddenly looked at them and asked, feeling that they were talking about him behind his back.

"Nothing, just talking about that little girl's imaginary friend." Wendy said with a smile.

"Is that so?" He turned his head away and stopped looking at them.

"Next, let's go check on Irene and see if kids her age also have imaginary friends."

Then the group walked towards where Irene was.

"Song, what does Irene's imaginary friend look like?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Yes, it's Captain Qin." Kong said.

"Captain Qin?"

"Hello, Honorary Knight, and everyone." Irene greeted them breathlessly when she saw Yan and his group.

"Little Irene, don't push yourself too hard. You need to balance work and rest." Wendy said with concern.

Irene: "No problem, I'll pay attention. By the way, can you go tell Jack? I'm very tired now and the appointment with him needs to be postponed to another day."

"Sure, where is he now?"

"Let me think about it. He seems to have gone to the temple of the Lion of the South Wind with the great adventurer Stanley."

Temple of the Lion of the South Wind

"Stanley" took Jack to hide in a secret room. To be honest, he was very panicked because he was not the real Stanley but Hans Archibald, a companion who was saved by Stanley from the Sea of ​​Silence at the cost of his life.

Jack was very excited because he felt that he was very lucky to be able to adventure with the legendary adventurer.

Hans boasted about Stanley while comforting Jack and asking him not to get too excited.

At this time, several people came and dealt with the monsters around them.

Hans breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with Jack.

"You are Jack, right?" Wendy said to the young man next to her.

"Hey, do you know me?" Jack was a little surprised. He had never seen this bard before, so why did the other party know his name?

"It's like this, Irene said she was very tired today and would like to hang out with you another day," Wendy said.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for coming and telling me this." Jack said gratefully.

"Do you want to keep going?" Wendy asked.

"Of course, I'm the famous legendary adventurer Stanley." Hans boasted.

Jack was there to make fun of the kid, but he had already been fooled.

"Sora, put on the device and take a look at Stanley." Wendy whispered to Sora.

"Okay." Kong put on the device and looked at Stanley. Next to him stood a middle-aged man with a scar on his face and wearing adventurer's clothes.

Wendy: “How is it?”

Sora told Wendy what he had seen.

Wendy looked at Stanley with a little more pity. Stanley was not the only one who died. Hans Archibald also "died" that day.

"Since everyone has decided to go deeper, let's get going."

The group continued to go deeper into the ruins. On the way, Hans kept bragging about Stanley's various deeds, as if he was afraid that others didn't know.

Everyone entered the deepest part of the ruins, and after the exploration, Hans left alone to prevent himself from being exposed.

Jack asks them to take him to find the artifact Hans mentioned, saying that this way he can get his parents' consent to become an adventurer.

So they took Jack to the place Stanley mentioned to look for the "artifact", but they only found a tattered sword and shield. However, Jack went home happily.

"Is it fun to trick children?" Yan appeared beside Hans, "Besides, you are not Stanley, right?"

The story didn't seem false, but his skills were too poor and he didn't seem like the famous adventurer in the story at all.

"Mr. Yan?" Hans was startled when he saw Yan, "This, this..."

"Forget it, since the other party doesn't want to talk, don't force him." Kong walked over and advised.

"Thank you." Seeing that Yan did not want to pursue the matter any further, Hans left.

Everyone returned to Mondstadt and came to the Angel's Gift Tavern at Wendy's request.

As soon as they entered the pub, they saw Stanley lying on the table drinking and muttering something.

Wendy walked up and looked at him tenderly.

"Hans Archibald"

"How do you know my real name?" Hans looked at Wendy in surprise.

Suddenly he felt a gust of wind. "The wind is the sound that one cannot find in the sea of ​​embers."

He looked at Barbatos in disbelief. At this moment, Barbatos seemed extremely sacred.

"I, I have always believed in your existence..."

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

Barbatos held out his hand, his movements graceful and light.

Hans stood up and slowly held Wendy's hand. At this moment, in his eyes, Wendy had turned into Stanley, and then Stanley drifted away with the wind.

Stanley came back to his senses and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to breathe all his troubles and worries into his lungs, and then slowly exhale them.

His eyes gradually regained clarity, and he looked at Wendy gratefully and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Barbatos. I would like to be alone to sort out my thoughts and calm down."

He straightened his spine, took a step forward, and walked towards the door.

Hans' steps were light and firm, and each step seemed to be on cotton, yet with an indescribable calmness. His figure quickly passed through the door of the tavern and disappeared into the outside world.

"What a great ending! Stanley has found his true self. To celebrate, shall we go to the Statue of the God of Wind tonight and enjoy some fine wine? I'll go ask Jack for my reward first."

With that, Wendy left.

"You guys are here?" Wendy sat on the statue's palm and looked at the scenery below. "I really miss it. I didn't look like this back then."

"Not like this?"

"Well, I look like that fake Mr. Stanley, thanks to a friend."

Then Wendy told a story, and after listening to the story, everyone drank for a while and then separated.

"By the way, where are we staying tonight, Sora? Are we still going to the Knights to get a room?"

"If you don't mind, how about coming to my house?" Ying invited.

"May I?"

"If you don't want to come, forget it."

After saying that, he walked towards his home.

"Wait for us."

This is the third time that the author reminds you that it is best to give up this book, because I am only writing books for fun, and I know my own strengths and weaknesses. For example, I have no idea how to write this chapter, and the whole chapter is a copy of the original plot.

Of course, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost with kind words. If you want to take a look, if you want to scold, I won't say it for the fourth time. If you think my words are unpleasant, leave your bad review and click the upper left corner to get out.
