Chapter 100: The Wind That Can't Be Asked
After Jack left, Paramon looked at his departure back.
"I think [Stanley] likes this kid Jack very much, what do you think?"
[Stanley] Although he stole other people's names, judging from his almost meticulous care for Jack today, he seems to like this newcomer adventurer very much.
Maybe... he saw that once useless self from Jack who had no ability.
"Jack...Jack?!"
Hearing Paramon say Jack's name, [Stanley] stood up from the table as if suddenly awakened, and his eyes quickly looked around, but he did not find Jack's figure.
"Jack has gone back." Wendy said when she saw [Stanley] looking for Jack with a panic look on her face.
After hearing Wendy say that Jack has returned, [Stanley] calmed down a little.
"Yes...is it? Then, thank you so much for not telling me my secret." His expression became depressed, and [Stanley] lay on the table again.
"Hey? Did you suddenly look at the reality? This is not like you before." Seeing his abnormal appearance, Wendy couldn't help but say.
[Stanley] Hearing this, he sighed and shook his head for some reason: "I... I didn't even dare to look at him just now. His true love for adventure is without any impurities, which is unprecedented purity I have seen..."
"I'm just a tired and useless liar, a useless person living under the shadow of others. But that child is different. He is a shining newcomer. I can't just ruin his dream."
After saying that, [Stanley] laughed twice as if she was self-deprecating.
"Actually, at this point, my memories of adventure and Stanley... have been blurred. This is my biggest secret and my biggest fear. Over the years, I have lived for his story. But I can't remember his character and his life, hahaha..."
"The only thing I cannot forget is that he died in the windless Jinjihai. The wind cannot take away his soul! I am old... no matter how unwilling to let go, I can't keep much..."
"I'm really useless! I'm useless..."
Lying on the wine table, [Stanley] began to let out a low sob, her trembling body was proven, which also proved the fear and anxiety in his heart.
The few people just watched him without saying a word, because now, they didn't know how to comfort him.
"His life has been overwhelmed by guilt..." Ying said after a long silence. She put one hand on her chest, and her expression seemed to be very sympathetic to the other party.
Wendy also nodded: "Well, that's right... The real Stanley is no longer that vivid friend in his memory, but is always frozen in the appearance of a scarred warrior, tying all his life."
A strange light flashed in his pupils. Wendy seemed to be able to see the past that happened in Jinjihai: Stanley pushed his friend to the ship with all his might, while he was swallowed by the monster behind him, and his soul was imprisoned there forever.
"[Hans Ace Boulder]?" Suddenly, Wendy spoke a name that made everyone present feel unfamiliar.
[Stanley] slowly raised his head, the name Wendy shouted was so strange to him, but so familiar to him.
I haven't heard it for many years, it was his name...
After returning from Jin Jihai, in order to prevent Stanley from being forgotten by the world, [Hans Ace Boulder], who was the one who once was a friend, carried his adventures and spread them over and over again to others.
So everyone knew about the legendary adventurer Stanley, but no one remembered him, and even he himself couldn't remember his name.
And now, when Wendy shouted out his name, all the past was like a movie, showing scenes in front of him.
Looking up at Wendy, Hans Acebold looked as if he was asking why he knew his name.
Wendy saw his doubts, but did not answer them.
The next second, the surrounding scene changed, as if the two were teleported to another place.
Feeling the gentle breeze blowing around, Hans Acebold stood up, and Wendy in front of him seemed to have become another person without realizing it.
No, to be precise, he should have become a god with a breath of freedom all over his body...
And he seemed to have felt the wind around him somewhere.
That is...the sound of wind that cannot be obtained in the sea of jingling...
"I...I have always believed in your existence." Although it was my first time meeting, as a national of Mond, Hans Acebold recognized Wendy's identity at a glance, "Mr. Barbatos."
After a moment of silence, Wendy acted very calm and slowly reached out to him.
"Can you hand over the soul of your old friend to me?"
After hesitating for a while, Hans Acebould finally chose to extend his hand.
The moment his hand contacted Wendy's, the image of the person in front of him changed again, becoming Stanley who died in the sea of ecstasy.
The deceased old friend appeared in front of him again and looked at him with a smile, with no intention of blaming him in his eyes, even though he had done many things that disappointed him over the years.
Or... it was because he failed to achieve the goals he set for himself.
Stanley's body was wrapped in a blue light screen, and he didn't say a word until he was slowly taken away by the wind.
Hans Ace Boulder subconsciously wanted to catch him, but found that the other party's body was actually illusory and could not keep him no matter how he tried to keep him.
When Stanley's body completely disappeared, the surrounding scene changed again, and he returned to the tavern where they were before, and the person in front of him also changed back to Wendy.
Shocked by the scene just now, Hans Ace Boulder took a long time to recover and said to the few people in a grateful tone: "It's really... it's incredible, thank you... Thank you, and... Lord Barbatos."
"But please let me take some time to adjust my mood, but I think I'll be fine..."
Seeing that [Stanley] had already cheered up a little, Wendy nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's really good. [Stanley] found his true self, and Jack has also succeeded in becoming independent. So many good things are combined, worth drinking and celebrating!"
Sure enough, Wendy will immediately return to her true form after she finishes a serious matter for the first time.
Lin Yan helped to support his forehead. It was obvious that he felt very helpless about Wendy's textbook-like form change.
Moreover, he wants to drink...in fact, he wants to harm others to pay for him.
However, in view of his serious work tonight, Lin Yan could allow him to harm him.
"Then... buy a few glasses of wine and take them away, and go to a higher place to drink."
