"Ha...haha, thank you." Kamisato Ayato was startled by Ember's movements. He laughed dryly a few times, and then said with hope:
"Do you need me to call the Eightfold Palace Secretary here? So that you can adapt to the power of wishes, Ember."
"The power of wishes?" Ember's head tilted, "It sounds good, but I don't need it."
"I just need you to be a spy."
Chapter 506: Thorough consideration

"Internal response?" After hearing what Yu Ember said, Ayato Kamisato hesitated for a while, and then nodded.
"Okay, but are you really sure you only want me to be the internal correspondent?" Kamisato Ayato reminded with some uneasiness when he saw that Yu Jin had no other requests.
Responding internally was part of Ayato Kamisato's plan. The relevant preparations have been made, so for Kamisato Ayato, the only thing he needs to do is change the target.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about the rest. You just need to hide the person on the appointed day."
Ember nodded and emphasized again to Ayato Kamisato.
"That's no problem, but there are a few things I need to confirm. How many people do you need me to hide and where are they from? You have to tell me clearly."
"There aren't many people, only a hundred and eighty. As for where they come from..., do you know Feimu Village on Hachi Island?"
Ember told Ayato Kamisato the general information without much hesitation. Even though everyone agreed so happily, Ember could not live up to the trust Ayato Kamisato had placed in him.
"Fei Mu Village?" Kamisato Ayato held his chin and thought for a while, and soon he found the impression of Fei Mu Village in his mind.
"Isn't that a small village on Bayou Island? It seems that only the village chief is a registered warrior, and the other villagers are ordinary farmers, right?"
"Don't make fun of me for such a big thing."
Kamisato Ayato frowned slightly. In his impression, Feimu Village was just an ordinary one among the many settlements in Inazuma.
If I hadn't read a lot of documents, I might not even have an impression of this village.
"I'm not kidding you. Let me ask you, you said before that you wanted to join the rebels. Why?"
Ember asked Kamisato Ayato seriously. He would not joke around in front of big events.
"Why? Because we need to persuade the General to take back the Eye Hunting Order and the Lockdown Order. The resistance army represents the will of resistance of the people of Inazuma."
"That's good. Now there is a more suitable candidate. The villagers of Feimu Village better represent the resistance of the Inazuma people."
“They have suffered the most and have the greatest anger pent up in their hearts.”
Kamisato Ayato was stunned when he heard this, but he soon came back to his senses. I saw Ayato Kamisato pacing back and forth in front of the desk a few times, then shook his head and said:
"I understand this. Not only that, I also understand that in addition to the villagers of Feimu Village, the miners who fled from Kannazuka are more qualified than the resistance army to represent the resistance will of the Inazuma people."
"But if you have qualifications, you have qualifications. If you want to stand on the stage, you also need to have the ability."
As if remembering the submissive attitude of the Inazuma people, Kamisato Ayato sighed.
"Whether it's the villagers of Feimu Village or the miners who escaped from Kannazhong. It's true that they have the will to resist, but they have it buried deep in their hearts. Can you arouse their thoughts of resistance?"
"I've stirred up the people in Feimu Village. They are probably screaming now to let the shogunate know how powerful they are!"
Yu Yan's words made Kamisato Ayato twitch his lips. He nodded helplessly and continued:
"Okay! So what if you are aroused? The strength of ordinary people cannot be compared with the shogunate."
"I won't talk about the gap between ordinary sergeants and ordinary people. There are many guys with divine eyes in the shogunate army. How do you close the gap they bring?"
Kamisato Ayato listed a lot of reasons in the blink of an eye. It seemed that he chose the resistance army as the target to break into General Raiden, not without purpose, but after careful consideration.
"So this is why you chose the Resistance?"
Hearing this, Ember raised his eyebrows. Kamisato Ayato had a lot to think about.
"Otherwise? Do you want to find a chance to send someone up by yourself, only to be beheaded outside the palace by the Ojie people without even seeing the general?"
Kamisato Ayato asked back to the ember.
"Very good. He is indeed the only competent official I met when I came to Daozhu."
"It's just my duty to praise you."
"But the conditions you mentioned seem to be met by Himimura."
Yu Jin's words choked Kamisato Ayato so much that he was speechless.
He looked at the embers in silence for a long time, then he plucked his ears in disbelief and said in surprise: "What did you say?!"
"I said, the villagers of Feimu Village have met the conditions you asked for!" Ayato Ayato asked again, and Ember spoke louder this time.
"It's impossible. Feimu Village is full of ordinary people, and they are not the enemies of the shogunate at all. What's more, they have to face the Okuji people!"
Kamisato Ayato shook his head quickly, but then he patted his head and started talking thoughtfully.
"Wait! It's not impossible! If the will of those villagers is noticed by the gods, it's not impossible that there will be many more eyes of gods at once..."
Kamisato Ayato was thinking, and he felt that it was very likely that when the embers inspired the villagers' will to resist, the will of many people was noticed by one of the seven gods.
In this case, it is not impossible to have many more God's Eyes at once.
"It's a pity, Ayato, that you think too much. The will of the villagers of Feimu Village is not strong enough to attract the attention of the gods."
Ember's words shattered Ayato Kamisato's beautiful fantasy.
"Then why are you so confident?" Kamisato Ayato turned around, feeling a little numb.
"Is the only way to become stronger is to obtain the Eye of God?" Ember crossed his arms and puffed up his chest in front of Kamisato Ayato.
"I don't have the eyes of God."
"You are different from ordinary people and cannot be counted among them." Kamisato Ayato waved his hand to him without even looking at Ember.
Even among those who have the eyes of God, few Kamisato Ayato can take the sword of General Raiden.
Whether you have the Eye of God or not, it makes no difference in the face of that terrifying power.
"But you just said that there is more than one way to improve strength. I agree with that. Did you make them stronger?"
"Well... sort of, although my main idea is not to make them stronger."
"Okay, how much stronger have you become?"
Shaking his head to throw away the thoughts about whether there was the Eye of God or not, Kamisato Ayato asked about the current strength of Feimu Village like an ember.
"Is this..." Ember recalled the behavior of the villagers of Feimu Village the night the resistance attacked Feimu Village.
"It should be roughly as strong as the Evil Eye Fools?" Yu Yan scratched his head and said with some uncertainty.
He also didn't know how powerful the rebels would be after they were equipped with the Evil Eye. The main reason is that the quality control of the Fools is very lax. There are good and bad evil eyes flowing into the resistance, and the same is true for the improvement of combat power.
"They should get stronger after a while!" Ember turned his head and looked in a certain direction. He seemed to have seen the scene where the villagers of Feimu Village were being wildly trained by the Furnace Knight.
"How can your strength increase so quickly? You didn't use any method to shorten your life, did you?" Kamisato Ayato was shocked. He raised the strength of ordinary villagers to the elite of fools. This span of strength is already exaggerated.
"Who do you think I am? That's something only fools would do." Upon hearing this, Yi Yan denied it and also named the fools.
"If you don't believe it, you can come with me and have a look." Seeing the suspicious look in Ayato Kamisato's eyes, Yu Yan generously waved his hand for him to take a look.
He has always had a clear conscience.
"I'm just waiting for your words! I'm really curious about what you did!" Kamisato Ayato nodded immediately. Whether it was to get familiar with his partners or to confirm his strength, he had to go to Feimu Village.
"Now?" Yi Yan pointed at the door of the secret room.
"No! Wait a moment, there are other things." Kamisato Ayato shook his head, there are some things that need to be prepared in advance.
Chapter 507: Festivals are not necessarily celebrations
2024-02-24
"Wait? What else are you doing?" Yu Yan saw the way Ayato Kamisato was thinking and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I am trying to figure out how to attract attention." Kamisato Ayato glanced at the embers and then asked:
"Have you figured out when to implement the plan?"
Ember shook his head naturally and replied: "No."
This caused the veins on Kamisato Ayato's forehead to pop up immediately. Ember saw that Kamisato Ayato looked like he was about to explode and quickly added:
"Although the specific date has not been determined, it will definitely not exceed this month, almost in the second half of this month."
"So urgent?" Kamisato Ayato was a little surprised when he heard this. After calculation, there were only about ten days left.
"It's already done." Yu Yan didn't think it was early. If Jiujin and the others didn't need to adapt, he would have liked to start now.
"Okay, I understand." Seeing Ember's confident look, Kamisato Ayato temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Then he pushed open the door to the secret room and walked out.
"We're about to leave now, why don't you mention your own affairs?"
Ember saw Kamisato Ayato going out and immediately followed him.
However, Kamisato Ayato did not answer Ember's words. He just shouted as he walked: "Is Toma here?"
Almost as soon as Kamisato Ayato shouted for the first time, another energetic voice sounded.
"Here, what are your orders, Master?"
Soon, a flash of gold shone in the wooden mansion, and a man wearing fiery red sleeves ran out from the depths of the mansion.
"Ouch! As a housekeeper of the Kamisato family, I didn't know that there was a distinguished guest coming. What a dereliction of duty! A dereliction of duty!"
After Toma briefly bowed to Kamisato Ayato, he noticed the embers beside Kamisato Ayato.
After a brief doubt, Thomas smiled and apologized to Ember.
As the housekeeping officer of the Kamisato family, it is also part of his duties to check the people coming and going to the Mokuro teahouse.
Although Ember sneaked in secretly, and he was a wanted criminal on the register, Ayato Kamisato didn't care, and Toma didn't ask any questions.
"Ember, my friend. If you think Thomas has a good eye, you can consider him as your friend."
Considering that Toma was meeting Ember for the first time, Kamisato Ayato briefly introduced him to Toma.
"Since he is a friend of the master of the family, he is naturally also a friend of my Toma." Hearing this, Toma stretched out his hand to Ember.
