Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

[Paimon: Why emphasize that you can't die in a place without wind?]

[Barbara: Because the gentle Lord Barbatos will bring the soul of every Mondstadt resident back to Mondstadt. If you die in a place without wind, you will never come back.]

[Frinna: Is this why the windless Ember Sea has become the most terrifying and perilous place for Mondstadt adventurers?]

Wendy: That's exactly right.

In the video, Wendy is telling stories at Stanley.

Wendy pulled the traveler aside and let her use the probe to observe Stanley.

Surprisingly, Stanley, an adult, also has an imaginary friend.

Wendy: "It seems that his imaginary friend is a battle-hardened warrior... covered in scars, with a very resolute expression."

Ying: "Just like himself in the story."

Wendy: "His imaginary friend, is it his ideal self? Interesting, but is that really the case?"

Before they could figure it out, Stanley left.

[Hu Tao: I never expected that even a great adventurer could have such a childlike side.]

[Kaeya: This is something new.]

[Xingqiu: But travelers can see it too, which shows that even adults can have imaginary friends.]

Stanley: Well...yes, what's so strange about that? I often share my adventure stories with him, so it's normal for him to look like a character from one of my stories.

At this moment, Stanley, who was in the tavern, felt a little guilty. He didn't know that this little gadget was so powerful.

The video was taken from Ying's perspective, and he clearly saw that the so-called imaginary friend was actually his old friend—the real Stanley who died in the Sea of ​​Ashes.

At first, he was relieved that if the show featured his personal life, Stanley's name would be remembered throughout Teyvat.

This can be considered as fulfilling a wish.

But he forgot that the system can travel through time, and what it plays may not be the present life.

Just now, if Wendy and the others hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Jack and I would have been in real trouble.

If things continue like this, his true strength will be exposed, and then no one will think of Stanley as a great hero or adventurer anymore.

But he couldn't do anything about it. Even the great sage of Mount Sumeru and the water dragon king of Fontaine couldn't stop the video from playing.

So all he could do was pray that his identity wouldn't be revealed and that everyone would believe Stanley's story.

In the video.

Jack asks the traveler for help, as he wants to find the two weapons of the legendary heroine Vanessa in order to gain his parents' approval.

Those two divine artifacts are currently located in the Dadaupa Valley.

Jack: "I dare not tell Mr. Stanley about this selfish thought... but I promise to return it to him when I'm done."

Wendy pondered for a moment and decided to help the young man. The four of them set off for Dadaupa Valley.

Chapter 47 Haha, Jack believed it!

Where no one could see, Stanley did not leave, but quietly followed behind them.

Following the clues Stanley gave him, Jack led the Traveler, Paimon, and Wendy to Dadaupa Valley.

In the largest room, a group of Hilichurls were dancing around a pile of things, looking very devout.

Paimon: "Could it be that among that pile of things, there's something they want to offer as a sacrifice?"

Wendy: "No doubt about it, that must be the 'Sword of Glorious Courage'!"

When the Hilichurls saw strangers approaching, they charged straight at them, only to be quickly dealt with by the Glow.

As the crowd approached, they realized that this was no divine weapon of a great hero; it was simply a broken sword.

It's like someone deliberately placed it in a pile of spoils.

However, Wendy confidently declared, "Behold, the 'Sword of Brilliant Courage'!"

Even the naive Jack didn't believe that.

The wind god began to deceive his people, "No, Jack, have you ever seen the wind crystal butterflies fluttering outside Mondstadt? These butterflies are inconspicuous during the day, but they become dazzling at night, like flying jewels."

He continued, "Isn't courage the same? People who have always had a smooth life don't understand its value, but when you are in dire straits, courage is the only light that makes you rise up and fight to get out of the predicament."

Zhongli: No wonder he's a famous bard.

Wendy: Heh heh.

[Paimon: Do street performers just blurt out things like that?]

[Firelight: Jack, may the wind god protect you]

[Jack: I think Mr. Wendy makes a lot of sense.]

In the video, Jack also believed it.

At this moment, the other three, besides Jack, discovered the suspicious Stanley.

With these questions in mind, the group set off to search for another divine artifact.

After walking around, Venti pointed to a Hilichurl's shield: "Look, that's the 'Shield of the Radiant Will'!"

Wendy once again displayed her eloquence, leaving Jack speechless.

After a brief exchange in Qiuqiu language, everyone...

The Hilichurls handed them the shields.

[Ira Musk: Travelers, aren't you grateful for my commission?]

[Ye: Celidada, mimi nunu! Ye dada! Muheye!]

Paimon: ...

Having obtained the two magical artifacts, Jack couldn't wait to run home.

Wendy: "Where's the wine you promised! I must be tired after helping out so much—wait, isn't this Stanley? Are you here for a walk?"

Stanley gave Wendy a casual laugh and left.

People began to doubt his identity.

Wendy: "Where will a person who is unwilling to forget the past and abandons the present step if he is forced to take his first step into the future?"

Paimon: "What does this mean?"

Wendy: "Just talking to myself. Let's go see the Angel's Gift tonight."

[Nilu: Why do you say Mr. Stanley is a fraud?]

[Kaeya: He's overly emphasizing his identity, as if he's afraid people won't know he's the great adventurer Stanley.]

In regular chat rooms, many people who disliked Stanley began spreading rumors about him.

[No one really believes Stanley went to the Silent Sea, right? All those stories of his are made up.]

[Yeah, I saw him being chased by a Hilichurl last time.]

I've wanted to say this for a long time, but nobody believes me.

In the video.

The three travelers arrived at the gift of the angels.

Today, Lord Diluc is on duty himself. "It's a rare treat to have an angel's gift today, and there aren't many people in the tavern, so I'm happy to have some peace and quiet."

The three chose a spot close to Stanley, wanting to see what he was up to.

Stanley was already very drunk and was lying on the table talking to himself.

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

Paimon: "Huh? Why is he calling his own name?"

Ying: "Is there anyone else named Stanley?"

Stanley remained slumped over the table, and at that moment, he quietly began to cry.

"Why wasn't it me who died in the Sea of ​​Ashes?! Why didn't your spirit stop me when I used your name? Stanley!"

"If it weren't for protecting me, a newcomer, you wouldn't have died in that windless place!"

[Furina: So this guy is using Stanley's name to gain fame?]

[Araki Ichito: This is outrageous! Someone saved you, and you do such a despicable thing! I despise you!]

[Yun Jin: Perhaps, this gentleman's imaginary friend is the real Stanley.]

[Kavi: It seems that's indeed the case. The determination on that fantasy friend's face makes him look more like a great adventurer.]

Wendy: Not necessarily, let's finish watching first.

At this moment, in Mondstadt.

Stanley had left the chat room; he couldn't bear to look at the comments anymore.

Now, the regular chat rooms are full of people cursing him for impersonating someone else, and saying he's being hypocritical and pretending to feel guilty. He can't explain himself clearly.

In the video.

Stanley continued to wail, "You already have the title of a great adventurer, but... but because of a good-for-nothing like me, you can never become a legend..."

Paimon's little brain couldn't process it all. "What on earth is going on?"

Wendy: "I think he did reach the Ember Sea back then, and the crisis he encountered there was real. However, the companion who explored with him was the real adventurer Stanley. The real Stanley probably died to save the Stanley we know."

Paimon: "So the reason Stanley is called Stanley is because he stole someone else's name?"

Wendy: "I'm afraid that's the case."

Stanley, oblivious to the hushed conversation, continued talking to himself.

“Stanley... I’ve been afraid for so many years, afraid that the people of Mondstadt would forget you completely, so I’ve been telling everyone about your adventures…”

"I want all Mondstadt to remember that Stanley reached the heart of the Ember Sea... He is the greatest adventurer, and he is still alive!"

"Stanley won't die, because I am him! Because I am...Stanley..."

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