He's dead. Yes, he's dead.
In the end, only Stanley returned to Mondstadt.
Seeing that Jack was a little disappointed, Stanley quickly comforted the adventurous boy.
"Jack! You're destined to be a great adventurer! How can you cry so easily!"
"Remember, our ideal is to die where the wind blows, and let the wind carry our souls back to Mondstadt!"
[Jack: "I know, Mr. Stanley, our greatest achievement is dying on the way to our final adventure!"]
"And then, absolutely! I can't die in a place where there's no wind!"
Stanley nodded. Yes, they absolutely couldn't die in a windless place.
Stanley didn't die there; someone else did.
Wendy listened quietly without saying a word.
“Although he loves to boast, that’s exactly what a great adventurer would say,” Lisa said.
“Yes, Mr. Stanley was indeed a great adventurer.” Jean nodded.
To conquer the Silent Sea—what an achievement that is!
Wendy, who had remained silent throughout the book, spoke up after exploring the secret realm.
"Traveler, I've made a small discovery."
It was only after Wendy pointed it out that the traveler and Paimon realized it.
Even Stanley, an adult, has "imaginary friends".
"A battle-hardened soldier, covered in wounds, with a resolute expression."
That "fantasy friend" was doing the same thing as Stanley.
Just like Stanley described himself, perhaps this is the idealized version of him?
Whether in books or in reality, people are now very interested.
Why would Stanley, an adult, have "imaginary friends"?
And he looks so much like the self he described?
Please continue reading.
Jack finds the traveler and tells him that he knows a secret.
Vanessa's belongings.
Both the Sword of Brilliant Courage and the Shield of Radiant Will are located in Dadaupa Valley.
He hoped that travelers would accompany him to find the two relics.
Many Mondstadt residents' eyes lit up upon hearing this news.
Vanessa's belongings!
Whether it's a divine artifact or not, it's still a very valuable item!
Only the top management of Mondstadt looked completely bewildered.
"Vanessa, did you leave these belongings behind?" Jean asked.
Lisa shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, at least not in the library's collection.
The reason the two were unsure was because Wendy had also gotten involved.
This is the Wind God! Wind God, you don't believe it either?
Could it be that the mighty Wind God was really bought off by a bottle of fine wine?
However, everyone quickly fell silent.
Because the first sword they found, the [Sword of Glorious Courage], was just a worn-out sword.
Even Jack couldn't believe that this was the [Sword of Brilliant Courage].
At this point, Wendy begins to showcase her eloquence as a bard.
"Jack, have you ever seen a Wind Crystal Butterfly?"
"These butterflies are inconspicuous during the day, but become dazzling at night, like flying jewels."
"Isn't courage the same? People who have always had a smooth life don't understand its value."
"But when you're in dire straits, courage is the only light that allows you to fight back and escape that predicament."
After hearing this, not only Jack, but even Jean was moved.
As expected of the Wind God, his description of this sword as the "Sword of Glorious Courage" truly has profound meaning and reason.
Lisa was embarrassed. What she said was well said, but it didn't change the fact that it was just a broken sword.
Lord Wind God, you're really going to great lengths for a bottle of fine wine!
Lord Wind God's efforts are yet to come.
The group then found the Shield of Radiant Will—a wooden barrel lid stained with wine in the hand of a Hilichurl.
This is even worse than the broken sword.
If you really want to explain why the sword is broken, you could say it's due to wear and tear over time.
How can you argue with a barrel lid? Did Vanessa use a barrel lid to hit someone on the head back then?
It doesn't matter if no one believes you, Wendy has a way of fooling you.
"A warrior takes pride in the scars on his body, and so does his shield."
"The more perfect a shield is, the further it indicates that it is far removed from the battlefield."
"Doesn't the wear and tear on the shield prove it's been through countless battles?"
"Even if our bodies are broken, we must fight to the last moment on the battlefield, until our last drop of blood is shed."
"Isn't such willpower precious?"
"Truly worthy of being called the Wind God! Your thoughts are indeed profound!" Qin nodded in approval.
“Qin…” Lisa sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
For Jean, both the wind god and Vanessa are figures she admires.
Therefore, regarding the wind god's remarks.
Even though she didn't believe the two artifacts were real, she was encouraged by these words.
However, there are even more outrageous examples.
For the sake of fine wine, Wendy can not only fool people, but he can also play music for Hilichurls.
The way the shield was retrieved from the Hilichurls was by having the great Anemo Archon play a song for it.
Within the gift of the angel, Diluc smiled invisibly.
"The greatest bard sings for a Hilichurl alone."
"Hey, if the reward is fine wine, I can sing here too."
Wendy wasn't embarrassed at all.
At this moment, Barbara had a bold idea.
A bottle of fine wine can motivate Lord Barbatos to work so hard.
If I offer fine wine, wouldn't that be enough to seduce Lord Barbatos...?
Oh, no, I mean, they invited them?

"Fine wine! Poetry! And the wind!"
"Hmm, if only we could brew wine with the wind."
Chapter 58 Because I am Stanley!
Without further ado, Rosalia, having had many fine wines confiscated, decided to use them first.
Barbara placed the wine before the church statue and prayed devoutly.
"Lord Barbatos, please enjoy."
Rosalia stood to the side, somewhat relieved.
Surprisingly, even the usually devout Sister Barbara went to buy alcohol.
I wonder how the people in the tavern will react when they see Barbara appear.
Moreover, this wine is the top-tier wine among the gifts of angels. I didn't expect Barbara to be so knowledgeable about wine.
Look at the marks on that bottle, they're the same as mine.
"..."
My wine... is the same? Isn't this the wine that was confiscated from me?
"Wait!" Rosalia exclaimed in surprise.
As Wendy's drinking buddy, she probably knows Barbatos's ways better than Barbara does.
Such fine wine, offered to him, would likely be gone in an instant.
As expected, Rosalia was a step too slow.
The wine simply vanished from their sight.
"Hehehe, how lucky, I found a bottle of wine."
Inside the tavern, Wendy was happily holding the wine offered by Barbara.
Family, it's time for the drinks.
Barbara offered it directly to him, so he took it without any hesitation.
"Eh? Has Lord Barbatos been here?"
Barbara looked up and found that the wine was gone.
She wanted to 'lure' Barbatos over, but she didn't see him at all.
"They've probably already started drinking it."
Rosalia was helpless, but not angry with Barbara, since the wine had been confiscated anyway.
"Oh? Then I've missed out?" Barbara said, disappointed.
"Sigh." Rosalia sighed.
The wine's gone, I'll just read a book.
Jack in the book has been completely fooled by Wendy.
They completely believed that the [Sword of Glorious Courage] and the [Shield of Radiant Will] were nothing more than a broken sword and a wooden bucket lid.
He even planned to use these two pieces of junk to persuade his parents.
Convince them to let him become an adventurer.
It would be a miracle if they succeeded. What parent wouldn't think their child is stupid if they saw them like this?
Regardless of whether Jack succeeds or not, after he leaves, Wendy points out Stanley, who has been following her all along.
"Isn't this Mr. Stanley? Coming for a walk?"
Stanley, exposed, awkwardly emerged from behind the tree.
"Hahaha, isn't this the bard? What a coincidence, you're here for a walk too?"
Wendy: "Yeah, I just finished eating and went for a walk, and also helped a friend look for something."
