The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Ayato Kamisato felt that she was more like a friend and family member of the Lei Movie, and he was worried that something might happen to her after she had stayed in the Pure Land of One Heart for hundreds of years, so he chose to pry open her heart.

His expansion of the final chapters was intended to strengthen the power of the society's administration.

"What? The Eye Hunting Edict, the Seclusion Edict, and the Fools' Sect are all involved?" Yu Jinguang heard the words "Fouls' Sect" from Aya Kamisato.

“That’s for sure. If they hadn’t taken the lead, I doubt the General would have thought of issuing these two policies.” Ayato Kamisato nodded.

Since the diplomats of the Fools spoke with General Raiden a few years ago, the seclusion order and the eye-hunting order have followed one after another, and Inazuma has become what he is now.

However, the Fools only made a "good start." The ones who truly and thoroughly implemented the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict were the Kansei Magistrate and the Tenryo Magistrate.

These two countries benefited so much from the isolation and hunting edicts that they almost regarded the strict enforcement of these edicts as a means to further their own interests.

Needless to say, after the implementation of the seclusion edict, foreign merchants could still do business in Inazuma, but the various taxes, both overt and covert, doubled again and again.

Those who investigated and implemented the plan have already made a fortune.

The benefits that the Heavenly Ruler gained from the isolationist edict and the Eye Hunt were not money, but something even more tempting than money—power.

After the Eye Hunting Order was issued, the Heavenly Commander, as the direct executor of the order, enjoyed unparalleled power.

This situation reached its peak after the rebellion on Haiji Island. Now, the Tenryo Magistrate has firmly surpassed the Kansei Magistrate and the Sha Magistrate in both manpower and influence.

Now that the two entities have joined forces, the enforcement of the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict has become unprecedentedly strong. Even if Ayato Kamisato wanted to oppose these two edicts, he would have to go underground and secretly sabotage them.

If things are done openly, the society cannot bear this kind of pressure.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. No wonder they knew nothing about the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order. It turns out they were the ones who did it."

Ember feigned sudden realization. He had previously wanted to ask the Fools if they knew why Inazuma issued the Eye Hunt and the Seclusion Order, hoping to find some opportunity.

When asked, they were practically shaking their brains to get a clear answer, but couldn't utter a single word.

So the instigators are none other than the Fools, right?

"Looks like I'll have to make them do more work!" As Ember pondered, he mentally arranged a full workload for the Fools, enough to keep them busy for several years.

Seeing Yu Jin lost in thought, Ayato Kamisato gently tapped the table. "Yu Jin? Yu Jin?"

"Oh! I've been listening the whole time." Yu Jin snapped out of his reverie. He now only regretted that Inazuma didn't have a deserted island, otherwise he could just throw all these Fools there to clear the land, instead of having to rack his brains to find work for them.

Sitting up straight, Yu Jin looked at Ayato Kamisato, crossed his arms, nodded, and praised him in one smooth motion.

"A very good idea. It seems that the company magistrate is truly a shining example of Inatsuma."

"You flatter me. I am merely doing my duty. Besides, the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order are of no benefit to the General's eternal cause."

Ayato Kamisato shook his head; he was simply following his father's dying words.

I will follow the General and uphold the Way of Eternity.

For Inazuma now, nothing is truly eternal. Even her wishes can be taken away, and other material possessions are likely to be taken away as well.

As for whether it was due to soldiers, bandits, disasters, or exorbitant taxes, that varies from person to person.

“The idea is good, but how do you plan to implement it?” Yu Jin changed the subject and asked the composed Ayato Kamisato.

"Hehe, well..." Ayato Kamisato chuckled a few times, then looked at Ember.

“I had a vague idea in my mind before, but if you, Ember, could join us, this plan would be perfect.”

Chapter 466 The Guide God Ayato

2024-02-04

Ayato Kamisato stared intently at Ember, her bright eyes almost like light bulbs.

He had previously thought that Ember's strength was only at the level of an Executor, perhaps a little stronger, but only by a limited margin.

Who knew that when I looked at him today, this wasn't an executive officer at all; he was clearly a demon god!

Moreover, it was a demon god of immense power. Legend has it that even the great serpent Ourobas couldn't withstand a single strike from Thor, but Ember blocked it unscathed.

While it remains a mystery whether this strike was from Thor, it's not far off.

After all, General Thunder's strength is comparable to that of Thor himself; they are both at the same level.

If we can recruit Ember, why wait for a suitable candidate? We can storm the castle tower right now and show General Raiden what "human will" means!

"I have flowers on my face, why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Jin wiped his helmet, making it even blacker.

Why is Ayato looking at him like she wants to devour him?

"Cough cough cough! I'm so excited, I can't control my emotions. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Ayato Kamisato coughed awkwardly a few times, but the thought that his long-prepared plan might come true filled him with an irrepressible excitement.

"Tell me, what's the plan? You seem quite excited. And your general doesn't seem like an easy person to talk to, does she? How are you going to persuade her?"

Seeing Ayato Kamisato's unusually uncharacteristic behavior, Yu Jin became even more curious about the "plan" he mentioned.

"Indeed, as you said, General values ​​bravery and willpower more. Mere verbal arguments will not convince her."

Ayato Kamisato wholeheartedly agreed with Ember's assessment of General Raiden. General Raiden preferred to observe a person's courage and will rather than engage in verbal debate.

How did the three chieftains become the chieftains? It was because in the distant past, the will of the three chieftain ancestors was recognized by the Thunder God, and thus they became the chieftains.

"So you're saying we're definitely going to have to fight?" Ember glanced at Ayato Kamisato from head to toe. If he were to go, whether he lived or died would depend entirely on Thor's mood.

Ayato Kamisato saw Yu Jin scanning him up and down, and he knew exactly what Yu Jin was thinking.

"Haha, Ember, don't even look at me. With my small frame, I have no chance of winning."

"No, that's not it. With some boosts, you can still exchange a few blows with your general."

Ayato Kamisato's strength is not as simple as his appearance suggests; this guy is quite powerful.

It's just that it's not quite up to par with General Thunder.

"That's Yae no Miko? Besides Raijin, isn't she the strongest among them?" Yu Jin asked, scratching his head.

"No, that's not entirely true. While Lord Kyoji is strong, he's still considerably weaker than the Shogun," Ayato Kamisato shook his head and continued:

"We were waiting for this person before, but she hasn't arrived yet, Inazuma."

"Seriously? Your plans are so bleak? You need outsiders to come and help? Besides, what outsider could possibly defeat Thor..."

Yu Jin's voice gradually faded because Ayato Kamisato's gaze was simply too piercing.

"Alright, alright, I won't talk, you go first." Yu Jin wisely shut his mouth, letting Ayato Kamisato finish speaking before discussing anything else.

"Sigh—we all know this plan is bleak, but we have no choice but to do it, after all, our opponent is the General." Ayato Kamisato shook his head and sighed a few times after hearing what Ember said.

If possible, who would place their hopes on outsiders? It's only because there's no other way that we do this.

"Who is this person...?"

"You should be very familiar with Ember, it's the same Ember that has recently risen to fame as you."

"So Ying offended the magistrate without knowing it? Tell me what she did to offend you, and I'll make her apologize."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin immediately realized that Ayato Kamisato wanted to send Ying to her death.

"Of course Ying has not offended the magistrate, but she is the most suitable person we can find."

"You want her to fight your general? I think she's about as good as you. No, she's about as good as all three of you combined."

After thinking for a while, Yu Jin also pulled Yae no Miko into the discussion.

"You've misunderstood," Ayato Kamisato waved his hand and then explained:

“Of course we know that Ying’s strength cannot be compared with the General’s. But as Yu Jin said, we can give her some boosts to raise her strength to the point where she can fight the General.”

"That's strange. Why don't you use such a good method yourselves?" Yu Jin immediately noticed the flaw in it.

Imposing such a huge increase in strength out of thin air is hardly a good thing.

"Haha, we'd like to too, but we can't use it." Ayato Kamisato chuckled bitterly, then asked, "Ember, do you know about the Heart of God?"

“I know this. It seems to be something that collects faith and transforms it into power.” Ember nodded. The Heart of God is like an amplifier that can enhance the power of its holder.

However, it seems that Zhongli and Venti don't really care about this. Zhongli earned his Geo Archon status through battle; he was already the strongest Geo Archon, and even after amplification, he's still the strongest, isn't he?

As for Wendy… the Heart of God is meant to collect faith; the Heart of God has been dormant for as long as he has slept. If he were to reveal the power possessed by his Heart of God, his other six colleagues would probably burst out laughing.

Clearly, Thor's attitude toward the Heart of God should be similar to Zhongli's, and that is indeed the case.

"Yes, and it's in the hands of Miyaji Yae no Miko."

"You really don't care? You entrust such an important thing to someone else for safekeeping. Aren't you afraid of losing it?" Ember couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Thor really didn't care about the Heart of God.

"And then?" After his initial reflection, Yu Jin continued to ask. So what if he possessed the Heart of God? Could the Eightfold Divine Child possibly manipulate the power within the Heart of God?

"Lord Kuji has been researching the Heart of God these past few days, and has now made some progress. As long as a suitable candidate is found, the Pure Land of One Heart can be opened."

"At that time, Lord Kuji will enter the Pure Land of One Heart together with Hotaru, gather the wishes of the people of Inazuma, and give Hotaru the power to stand against the Shogun!"

Ayato Kamisato slowly recounted their plan, and when he got excited, even he, who was usually so composed, sounded somewhat thrilled.

“But from what I’m hearing… it seems like you don’t have any scenes at all?” Yu Jin’s words left Ayato Kamisato speechless.

"Ahem... I haven't even explained my role yet." Ayato Kamisato coughed a few times, then continued:

"Fighting with the General alone is not enough to convince her. Therefore, we also need to show the General the Inazuma people's will to resist the Eye-Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict."

"Only the resistance army could do this."

"I understand, you're trying to be a traitor!" Yu Jin pointed at Ayato Kamisato and said loudly.

I never expected that Ayato Kamisato, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would become a traitor. You really can't judge a book by its cover!

"Don't talk nonsense. Haiji Island was originally part of Inazuma. How am I a traitor? Besides, the people I can send over can't threaten the General in the slightest."

Ayato Kamisato vehemently refuted the "collaborator" label, but did not deny that he was transporting resistance fighters.

This was part of the plan. With General Raiden secluded in the castle tower, the rebels, though they rose up in rebellion, could only push their front line to the vicinity of Hachimonjima Island.

The effects of the war are likely imperceptible to General Raiden, who is deep in the rear. That's why Ayato Shinsato wants to transport the resistance army into the castle tower so that she can confront the people's will to resist.

With the addition of Yae no Miko and the blessing of Kou, the probability of success is very high!

The only drawback of this plan is probably the variable "fluorescence".
