Chapter 410: Night Visit to the Shrine
"However, speaking of fulfilling wishes, He probably can't fulfill people's wishes. God is not omnipotent. In the final analysis, if you want to fulfill your wishes, it still depends on people's own efforts."
At this point, Yae looked at Vermouth and Camus, and said with regret: "But some wishes are indeed beyond human control now. In this case, it is better to accept the reality as soon as possible, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Of course, if you still can't give up, you can also go to the sacred cherry tree to pray. The sacred cherry tree does have some special power, and maybe a miracle will really happen."
Vermouth: "......"
She didn't know how to respond for a moment. Now she really believed what Yae Shinko said about her not being able to speak well. If she was really a wife who came to pray for a child, what Yae Shinko had just said would be like stabbing her in the heart with a knife.
However, Yae Kamiko mentioned going under the sacred cherry tree to pray, which was exactly what they wanted.
Vermouth was not going to talk to the mysterious-looking chief priest anymore. After saying goodbye, she took Camus' arm and walked towards the sacred cherry tree.
In just two steps, they arrived under the sacred cherry tree.
Looking at the sacred cherry tree up close, Vermouth felt that the tree was both magnificent and unique.
Camu was in charge of keeping watch to prevent someone from quietly walking up behind them. While bowing her head in prayer, Vermouth looked up and down at the sacred cherry tree with her peripheral vision.
Although the shape is somewhat peculiar, apart from the lush branches and leaves, Vermouth can't see anything else unusual about this tree.
She shook her head slightly at Camus, indicating that she didn't notice anything wrong.
Kamu frowned slightly. There were people coming and going here, so many pairs of eyes, and from time to time other people would walk under the sacred cherry tree. They had no way to avoid everyone's sight and examine the sacred cherry tree closely.
In this case, the only feasible plan is to wait until night falls, when many tourists have left, and then find a way to sneak into the Narukami Taisha Shrine. Only in this way can they have a chance to get close to the sacred cherry tree.
But there is a problem. Although the Narukami Shrine doesn't look special now, and the priestesses inside are ordinary people with no signs of training, the head of the Teyvat Organization lives here anyway, so it is definitely not that easy to sneak in.
And according to what Granlivet said before, Minister Inazuma seemed to be very powerful, so there were risks in sneaking in at night.
Camus turned his inquiring gaze to Vermouth, seeking her opinion.
Vermouth thought for a while and decided to act at night. There were too many people during the day, and the sacred cherry tree was in the public eye, so it was impossible to completely hide it from the public.
Moreover, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine is still nearby, and any action taken rashly now may very likely alert the enemy.
If they were careful at night and didn't alarm anyone, they wouldn't run into Inazuma's minister.
Camus nodded and agreed with Vermouth's idea.
Next, the two of them strolled around the Naruko-taisha Shrine like ordinary tourists, and secretly took note of the layout of the shrine to facilitate their actions at night.
Yae Shinko also noticed that Vermouth and Camus were moving as if they were marking time, and opened the fan in her hand to cover the corners of her mouth with interest.
It seems that there will be uninvited "guests" tonight. Let Ying rest a little later and let her entertain the "guests". This will also make Ying lively and save her from staying at home all the time and becoming autistic again.
Time soon came to night. In the silent and deserted night, the moonlight sprinkled on the water, as if covering the entire shrine with a layer of silver gauze.
Vermouth and Camus still had disguises on their faces and wore dark clothes. They moved carefully among the shadows, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of making too much noise and alerting others.
The operation went smoothly and soon they arrived under the sacred cherry tree.
But because it was so smooth, Vermouth had a flash of doubt in her mind. Is it so easy to enter Inazuma's base? It seems that there are no defensive measures at all.
"I'll climb up the tree to look for it, and you look in the soil around the tree." Camu didn't think too much about it. After seeing the target, he decided to take action.
Vermouth looked around and saw that there was indeed no one around, so she temporarily put aside her anxiety. Hearing what Camus said, Vermouth glanced at Camus, asking such a beautiful woman to turn the soil, how could the organization now be filled with people who don't know how to cherish women.
But Vermouth did not object to Camus' words, and the two of them acted separately.
