The castle tower was the core of Inazuma's theocracy.

Compared to the Narukami Shrine, the castle tower actually carries more beliefs about the gods.

Because the gods are really in the castle tower.

The shrine maidens of the Narukami Taisha Shrine promote the prestige of the Narukami, and on weekdays, there are also people who climb the Shadow Mountain to pray, but the shrine is more of a vehicle for faith, and there is no more use for it.

Everyone knows that Narukami is in the castle tower, but the castle tower is also the government affairs center of the shogunate, and normal people, no matter how much they revere Narujin, will not consider going to the castle tower to show their devout faith.

The shrine was used at this time.

The fact that the gods of Teyvat are real has greatly increased the power of the shrine maiden's profession, but on the contrary, it is precisely because of the presence of the gods that the value of the shrine will decay.

If the gods don't exist, or if the gods need faith, the shrine's usefulness will increase.

However, the gods of Teyvat don't really have much to do with their faith, and they are usually the de facto kings of a country, so it is not as simple as directing the clergy such as witch goddesses and nuns to do something, rather than directly driving violent mechanisms such as samurai.

As a result, the shrine is actually of little use.

This is especially true of the Inazuma shrines, which are in charge of the rituals, and if it weren't for the fact that the contemporary Miyaji-sama is a dependant of the god of thunder, the Narukami Taisha would theoretically be part of the shrine.

However, Yae Miko is not a boss who likes to take care of things, and in addition, she is also quite optimistic about the Kamisato family, and once lent a helping hand to the Kamisato family at a critical moment.

That's half the good news.

With the delegation and support of Yae Miko, the actual power of the shrine is actually not small. As for why it can only be regarded as half good news, it is of course because Yae Miko is by no means a good person.

The support she gives will always need to be repaid by the other party at some point.

Kamisato Ayato has always been enlightened.

He grew up in such a situation, during this period the Kamisato family's control of the social office declined, and each generation of the head of the family had to sleep at night, trying to take back control.

The current head of the family has not been able to accomplish this task, so it is natural to hand over this natural [mission] to the successor of his choice.

Of course, Kamisato Ayato knows that the benefits given by anyone are not free, and what you get today will inevitably have to pay some kind of price in the future as a repayment.

"But this time it's still a bit too bad."

Looking in the mirror, he muttered under his breath.

Receiving and giving are in some ways reciprocal, and Yae Miko is not the type to give favors to others without expecting anything in return.

So when Kamisato Ayaka and Thoma went to contact Sora, he didn't stop it, and even helped to cover it up - it's not a secret that the owner of the tea room is the Kamisato family, and it's better to meet some friends with special status in that place than to directly in Kamisato Yashiki's secrecy coefficient.

He will defend, and naturally there will be people who choose to attack.

And the strength of the shrine and the Kamisato family in this period is obviously not as good as that of the Heavenly Leader and the Kujo family, so in the end, the contact between Kamisato Ayaka and Sora was naturally discovered by Kujo Takayuki.

Unsurprisingly, Kujo Takayuki gave a warning.

Thoma, or the rest of the Kamisato family who have the Vision of God, whether these people are within the scope of the eye hunting order is all within the words of the nine filial piety.

Kamisato Ayato had expected it, and naturally carried out a series of regular responses such as apologies, which brought this matter to an end, interrupting Thoma's fate of becoming the protagonist of the eye hunting ceremony in advance.

At this stage, all the price paid was within Kamisato Ayato's expectations.

He can still face all the problems calmly and continue to be a chess player······· It was supposed to be like this.

Kamisato Ayato sighed.

He still maintained the calm of his expression, even though his heart had completely collapsed.

"There is often a plot in the story of Inazuma's rogues, who drank a glass of wine from a stranger, and then happened to hear that the owner of the wine was in trouble, so they carried their own knives to help the host's family solve the problem."

"They didn't know each other, a glass of wine was not worth much to the host's family, and in the end, the drifters often had to pay for their lives to bring the story to an end."

Someone said, "This kind of story doesn't seem very interesting, but everyone seems to like it." ”

"If you drink a glass of wine from someone else, you may have to pay for it with your life in the future·······" Kamisato Ayato chuckled, "I really didn't expect such words to come out of your mouth. ”

"Your Excellency the Great Sage."

Rama sat in front of the window, his eyes looking at the girl with a kendo high ponytail tied outside the window, and he didn't mean to look at Kamisato Ayato at all.

"I'm just telling a story, and I haven't drunk any good wine from anyone, so I can't fight for it." His words were casual, "But if you really want to talk about it, I wonder who this life really has to be kept." ”

Counting only his travels in Teyvat, Rama thought that he did not owe any favors.

But all the benefits he gets, either he uses despicable means to steal them, or he confesses and returns the kindness of others, and he can't be guilty of giving desperate to whoever he gets because of whomever he gets.

It's a pity that he started with the favor of the system.

There is no such problem in a normal system, but in an abnormal system school, he should prepare some wax for himself if he doesn't do it well.

Most of Kamisato's understanding is not this, but there are still many people who know that Rama is a close minister of the god of grass.

Bringing in understanding, it is probably that Rama has paid some price in order to get to where he is today.

He didn't have any sympathy, and he didn't even take it for granted.

Normally, the identity of the six sages of Sumeru is equivalent to the three sages of Inazuma, although Rama is the great sage, and the shrine of Kamisato Ayato is the weaker of the three commissions, but everyone is still at the same level.

However, according to the information that Kamisato Ayato knows, Rama does not dare to say that he can talk to a higher level of demon gods now, but he does have the ability to intervene in the demon god level.

The God of Thunder needs the Three Commissioners to help him deal with government affairs, but it doesn't matter to the God of Thunder who the Three Commissioners are, or whether they are called the Three Commissioners or not.

But Rama is not this state of indifference and non-existence, his value is above the three dedications, and he deserves the special attention of the demon gods.

To be able to do this, it is most reasonable for Rama to give up something.

"Don't you think she's slashing hard?" Rama thought for a moment, "I'm not a good swordsman, but I always feel like she's not practicing swordsmanship. ”

His various martial arts are average, but he can kill enemies, which is enough.

Kamisato Ayato walked over to Rama and sat down, then looked out the window at Kamisato Ayaka, who was practicing swordsmanship.

"Indeed, it feels like slashing people." He smiled dumbly, "But even so, my sister is very good-looking." ”

The two brothers and sisters practiced the Kamisato family's Kamisato swordsmanship, and of course he could tell whether Kamisato Ayaka was practicing kendo or simply slashing vigorously.

"It's true." Rama bowed slightly, not denying it.

Although if nothing else, the person who was cut off in the illusion should be himself.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Egret should be talking about you, right?" Rama shifted his hand and shirked the responsibility, "I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Egret asked you to submit an arbitration to Her Majesty Naruto a long time ago, but you locked her up in confinement. ”

"But in the end, you seem to have gone down this path."

Kamisato Ayato smiled for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"I'll tell you the truth, I was actually communicating with the Balladeer at that time." "I've heard that you follow a simple doctrine, and I have a simple doctrine that you should be able to understand," he said lightly. ”

Although he spits on the dog thief when no one is around, in public, even in this kind of relatively private meeting, he still has to be called an adult.

"Of course." Rama's smile playfully said, "That's why I'm here." ”

"The dead deserve to be remembered and mourned, but the living are actually more worthy of attention, and I understand your thoughts."

He chose to make peace.

But I'm afraid the results are not very good.

The stragglers of this period most likely don't feel that they have done anything wrong, and he still believes in his concept of "three betrayals", which is not normal to be cynical.

Of course, the more core truth is actually the one told by Rama and Yae Miko.

There are so many people in Inazuma's long history, so what's wrong with two dead?

Rama had thought when he said this, anyway, the dead man had nothing to do with him, so he could say such things so lightly.

It's the same for a balladeer, the person he kills is an enemy in his eyes, otherwise he is an ant, where would he feel guilty for killing some ordinary people? He didn't laugh, he was already very restrained.

The logic of the lady and the logic of the stragglers are in the same vein, and they are vividly reflected in the evil eye plan.

It is their luck that their ordinary lives can be short-lived because of the evil eye, and not that we are cruel? We even helped them achieve dreams they couldn't!

Kamisato Ayato can hold back his emotions and choose to reconcile, but the stragglers may not be willing to reconcile, even if Kamisato Ayato is the first to bow his head, saying that death is good and wonderful, these people deserve to die, he can say this kind of thing with a clear conscience, and most of the stragglers don't care.

What's more, his moral bottom line should not be so low.

It's too low, and it's a bit less like a person.

Kamisato Ayato doesn't expect Rama to understand, and the words of others can't compare to his own feelings, like a fish drinking water, knowing his own warmth and coldness. Of course, he knew that his choice was simply to throw away the façade of the Kamisato family, but looking at his sister······· At this time, I still don't mention it, because whoever chooses to compromise, I always feel like I am pushing the black pot to the other party.

In short, his choice was quite inappropriate, and even worse, he was actually rejected.

Kamisato Ayato himself has a hard time describing how he felt at that time.

Shame, anger, resentment, and incomprehension······· It's complicated.

"I guess you made a decision that you didn't despise yourself, and what made you feel even more uncomfortable was that you had given up a lot, but the other party still chose to refuse." Rama smiled, "But you yourself understand, in fact, the dignity of the Kamisato family is worthless in the eyes of the stragglers. ”

This is not surprising.

What you think is precious is not precious in everyone's eyes.

Kamisato Ayato's decision to compromise must have gone through a period of struggle.

But the Balladeer's refusal didn't need to be thought, he wouldn't feel that Kamisato Ayato had given up anything precious, because everything Kamisato Ayato didn't have in his eyes was precious.

The shrine attendant was silent, but Rama was not.

He said to himself, "This is a good opportunity, and I have no doubt that the Fatui must be there at this time." ”

His smile was gentle, "Because if it were me, I would also be on the scene at this time to lend a helping hand." ”

Kamisato Ayato lowered his head and said softly, "Yes, I don't doubt it, they have been waiting for me to be rejected. ”

Everyone knew that he was unlikely to fight to the end, even if he felt that he was struggling between the bottom line of being a man and the survival of his family, but everyone else thought that he would definitely give up the bottom line.

And he did give up.

The Fatui were waiting, and when they arrived, they came to Kamisato Yashiki with the evidence.

This is not a negotiation, but a notice.

You've been rejected, and I'm offering you something that might help you get rid of him.

You can choose whether to take these things and lick the dough a second time to surrender, or use them as weapons and use them to fight the other side.

"So the story enters the final stage, you take the evidence, you have to submit an arbitration in front of the general, and use the law to defeat the balladeers."

The skirmishers don't necessarily have the idea of chasing.

But the contradiction between him and the Kamisato family is real, as long as he lives, everyone will know that among the upper echelons of Inazuma, there is a person who has a conflict with the Kamisato family.

There is no need for him to make a move, and he doesn't even need to remember, many people will choose to charge for him.

It's not a joke to go up and down, as long as he lives, even if he doesn't care about it, he can't get over this matter.

"Are you sure?" Rama asked.

"Big certainty." Kamisato Ayato smiled, "His identity is like this, and I'm sure many Inazuma people want him to be punished." ”

"Moreover, the evidence provided by the Fatui is indeed informative and concise and eloquently proves his big problem."

Even if there is no evidence, one hopes that something is wrong with him, based on the conflict between ordinary and privileged.

What's more, Kamisato Ayato has seen the detailed evidence, and he is quite sure that he must die.

"I don't dare to say that I must be clean, and I have done a lot of bad things for the power of the Kamisato family." Kamisato Ayato looked at his palm, "But I'm too clean compared to him." ”

"But you don't deserve to be compared to him." Rama whispered, "You know, he's a demon god, and you're just a communist. ”

It's just a society······ Kamisato Ayato laughed dumbly.

For many years, as one of the three commissions, the shrine has stood at the top of Inazuma all the year round, and the only ones who deserve to be retreated by the shrine are the shogun and the Miyaji-sama.

Even if the Heavenly Leader and the Survey are occasionally strong, everyone is actually at the same level.

And Rama used a just to describe such an honorable status.

He couldn't argue with it.

"Yes, it's just a social council, why do you want to be treated as fairly as the other party?" Kamisato Ayato looked out the window, "Inazuma is a place where you can't speak fairly. ”

"The head of the Kamisato family can be the head of the society, and the head of the Kujo family can be the leader of the day, since I didn't say anything unfair when I accepted this privilege back then, then when others run over me with a greater privilege, I shouldn't shout that it's unfair."

If you have never considered fairness when you accept privilege, then it is better to choose silence when you face unfairness.

After all, when you're happy, you've never thought about it.

At this time, if the company is unhappy, it is purely treating others as cerebral palsy.

Even when the Kamisato family is at its most dangerous, they are only under the Kujou and Hiiragi families, and if you have to say that you are unhappy in this position, then there is no way to say anything.

Throughout the ages, people would only say no to power in one situation – not that they knew they couldn't do it, but that someone told them that you just couldn't.

There are only two situations in which all people despise and dislike power, they really get it and choose to give it up, and they never get it, so it's very sour.

Teyvat's environment, the transcendent world in the broadest sense, provides a third scenario.

Power is born as a by-product of power, and it is still worth pursuing, but there are also things that are more worthy of pursuit and more valuable than it.

Rama lowered his head and thought for a moment, "If you're going to discuss fairness and unfairness with me, then that's the end of the conversation. ”

He didn't have much patience, "I can't solve this problem, so I don't really care." ”

Kamisato Ayato is right.

As the society of Inazuma, he was forcibly pushed up by Yae Miko, and he really had no qualifications to speak fairly.

At that time, the Kamisato family was able to come out of a shrine, and this was already because of the power represented by Yae Miko, and it had nothing to do with any fairness.

It's not Yae Miko, the Kamisato family has stepped down.

Yes, the later Kamisato Ayato did a very good job, but if you have to say that only he and the Kamisato family can do a good job, it would be nonsense. As long as there is an opportunity for such a position, who would say that he can't do it well and refuse?

But there is no answer to such a question.

Maybe other people in other families can do a good job, but since the Kamisato family and you, Kamisato Ayato, are sitting in this position, then the story can only go on according to this script.

At this time, it is quite boring to start chasing such a thing as fairness.
