There are 12 permanent members, 37 formal members, and 53 reserve members across the country, with a total of 102 forces joining.
The Speaker will rotate among the permanent members once a year, and the formal members will also elect two people every year to serve as the chief and deputy secretaries, who are responsible for handling a pitifully few chores. I heard that at the most exaggerated time, the entire Baixian Society had nothing to do for most of the year.
So this organization is both useless and idle, but it is not wrong to say that it is important and can even affect the foundation of the country.
In terms of the extraordinary, the Hundred Sages Society has no power and will not interfere in local affairs, but if there is an emergency that affects the cultivation world or even the country, they may intervene.
For example, after the Nukai tribe was defeated, it was the Hyakukenkai that decided that Toyotomi Hideta would be the new chief, and at the same time let Mishima Jinja, one of the members of the Hyakukenkai, take over the territory. Of course, this was because the Nukai tribe was a semi-official organization and they had the power to make the arrangements.
If the director of a militia organization like the Countermeasures Bureau dies, the Baixian Society only has the right to make recommendations and cannot directly appoint a new director of the Countermeasures Bureau. However, he can also create another force to replace the Countermeasures Bureau.
But that would be very troublesome, and it might take several months of wrangling to reach a decision.
In addition to these special powers, I heard that the prime minister of each term is chosen after consultation among the standing members of the parliament to balance the interests of the top forces of all parties.
So even the top portrait was negotiated between the top forces. How can the official have the ability to manage the entire cultivation world?
In addition, the Hundred Sages Association also has the power to amend the laws related to the cultivation world. Of course, this does not include ordinary laws. In the past, it was a national policy for the extraordinary people to do their best not to affect ordinary people, but now it is hard to say.
After listening to the other party's description, Yuzuru Nagayama officially confirmed his inner guess that even the prime minister was a puppet of the top forces. It was indeed a country ruled by the extraordinary.
Toyotomi Hideta on the other end of the phone said confidently.
"Master Long, please rest assured. With my invitation and the fact that you have defeated the great demon, the Hundred Sages Association will not reject you."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Toyotomi."
"toot toot"
After hanging up the phone, Yuzuru Nagayama fell into deep thought. If it was a troublesome organization like the Countermeasures Bureau, he really didn't want to take on a real job and cause trouble. But the Hundred Sages Association was different. Not only was it very important, but there wasn't much to do.
Chapter 237 Big Harvest
Two hours later, in Tokyo's Minato Ward, there was a 359-meter-high building. It was obviously 63 stories higher than the Tokyo Tower, which was also located in Minato Ward. However, no one around knew the function of the building, and any media was warned not to report information about the building.
So for the people around, although there are sometimes some impressive people coming in and out of the building, it is not open to the public, and no ordinary people have ever entered. It is very mysterious and even gave rise to urban legends, but they were quickly suppressed by some force.
For big forces, this place is a more important building than many key national institutions. It is the headquarters of the Hundred Sages Society. It is usually protected by a guard team formed by the families of each member of parliament. There are also some unknown institutions inside.
At this time, in the temporary meeting room on the 55th floor, a man and two women were discussing two things that had just happened, but the reactions of the three people were different.
Two elderly men and women were discussing heatedly. They were the secretary and deputy secretary on duty respectively. The other young woman did not express her opinion either. She was the speaker on duty.
The secretary is named Kujo Eri, a 38-year-old beauty with long curly hair, who works as a lawyer.
This woman who is sometimes serious and sometimes friendly comes from the first-rate Kujo family, one of the five highest-ranking families in the Kujo family. The family has been conferred the title of duke and has top influence in the official system.
The deputy secretary was named Saionji Eizan, from the emerging first-class family Saionji, which made its fortune 300 years ago.
As for the speaker, she is a beautiful young woman with an ethereal appearance, as if she has a fairy-like aura. Her name is Mochizuki Kikyo, and she was once called Minamoto Yoshimitsu. She is the head of the Minamoto clan, the top power in Nikko City. As for why she changed her surname to her mother's, no one knows.
It is even more unknown why the Genji, which returned to the top power two hundred years ago, would allow a woman who changed her surname to be the head of the family. Even though this woman was the only daughter of the previous head of the family, this was too strange.
Kujo Eri took out a document submitted by Toyotomi Hideta.
"Chairman, this is the information that Toyotomi Hideta told me. Kono Naomi colluded with the monster Longque to murder the Minister and Deputy Minister of the Wrath of the Sea Department, and also invaded the Zhenhai Shrine with the monsters, hoping to obtain the treasures in the divine domain. However, the enemy was killed by him, the Dragon Lord, and the Zhenhai Shrine Maiden. Among them, the great monster Shenhai Shiji escaped. Toyotomi Hideta also said that the Dragon Lord Shrine was the main force in this battle."
"hiss"
Xiyuan Temple Yingshan took a breath and was shocked and couldn't believe it. What kind of magical plot is this? They had already found out the identity of Longque, the son of the Dragon God. Because of the influence of the Dragon God, few families dared to provoke him.
It stands to reason that a top-level monster plus a top-level sorcerer, plus an even more terrifying big monster, should have the strength to challenge the top forces, but they were defeated and repelled by the three of them working together.
Of course they knew Toyotomi Hideta's strength, at most he was at the lower to middle level of rank seven. In other words, it was all thanks to the Zhenhai Miko and the Ryukun Shrine?
Saionji asked excitedly.
"Is there any evidence?"
"Of course there is. In addition to some paper evidence, there is also video evidence."
Mochizuki Kikyo took the document and looked at it carefully, then replied indifferently after a moment.
"In that case, you should deal with the Kono family according to the procedure. As for the Mishima Shrine, let's wait until the Hundred Sages Conference begins before discussing it."
"Yes" X2
Eri Kujo once again submitted an application for membership, and the recommender was Bunta Toyotomi again.
"Chairman, here is an invitation to join the Dragon King Shrine from Nagayama Yuzuru, and the recommender is Toyotomi Hideta. The reason is that the Dragon King Shrine has reached the strength of a first-class force, and its lord Nagayama Yuzuru has solved the crisis of the Buddha Mother, and is now solving the crisis in Tokyo Bay. In addition, it is mentioned that Mikawayama God is his wife, and now Mikawayama God has recovered to the top level of strength. What do you think is the decision?"
Mochizuki Kikyo answered without even thinking.
"Then let's approve it. Two top-level warriors plus two great merits are enough to be qualified for the position of councillors, and even more suitable than some families."
This time, Deputy Secretary Hideyama Saionji had some opinions.
"Chairman, the Ryukun Shrine and the Mikawasan Shrine are both Shinto forces. It is inappropriate to let them in. It will only make the Shinto forces grow stronger. Moreover, the other party's origins are unknown. It has not even been a year since the establishment of the shrine."
"."
The chief secretary, Kujo Eri, did not interrupt at this time. She would not do anything to offend the head of a top power. Mochizuki Kikyo looked calmly at her temporary subordinate who refuted her, and only spoke up when he felt uncomfortable.
"Isn't there a wind god standing behind your Saionji?"
"This"
Mochizuki Kikyo continued to pursue the victory.
"I heard that last month, you and Nikko Toshogu formed an offensive and defensive alliance."
"."
Xiyuan Temple Eizan suddenly became speechless. He didn't expect that the other party knew the secrets of their family. He thought that although the woman in front of him was powerful, she didn't know some of the ins and outs of the aristocratic family.
Mochizuki Kikyo was not in the mood to continue chatting, so she stood up, said something and left.
"The Hundred Sages Society already has a lot of Shinto forces, and they don't need a Dragon Lord Shrine. Besides, I'm still the Speaker until November. Secretary-General Kujo should assess them in the normal order. If someone is caught doing something tricky during the assessment, it only represents your own family."
The meaning of the words is very clear. You can do whatever you want, but Baixian will not endorse you.
After Mochizuki Kikyo left, Kujo Eri rarely comforted her colleague.
"Don't be angry. Speaker Yuan is still young and doesn't understand certain rules of the meeting."
At this time, Saionji Hideyama's face turned pale. He had served as secretary and deputy secretary for nearly ten times, but this was the first time he encountered a speaker who was so disrespectful to him.
"Humph, I don't care about a little girl who knows nothing. But does Genji have no one left to let a woman be the speaker?"
Seeing that her colleague was being too presumptuous, Eri Kujo poured cold water on him in a gentle voice.
"But the speaker is very powerful. I heard that she once severely injured a great demon with her magic-breaking arrow. If she shoots an arrow at you, I don't think you will be able to catch it, or at least few people in the Saionji family can catch it."
"."
Saionji Hideyama's expression froze in an instant. It really made sense. Even he, a sixth-level strong man, had nothing to refute.
"Hmph, let's not propose a long one. Let's quickly inform the other council members that the Hundred Sages Meeting will begin in a week."
"kindness."
Although Kujo Eri was smiling, she was tired of working with these idiots. She was so old, but she was still so emotional. She had been in a high position for too long and had lost her sense of crisis. But for the sake of work, she would not reveal her inner thoughts.
At the same time, the Yokosuka Offshore Port, formerly the port of the Angry Sea Department, has once again welcomed its real owner.
Three frigates appeared on the sea with drizzling rain. The markings on the ships clearly showed that they were frigates of the Angry Sea Department. The remaining forces of the Offshore Bureau were instantly alarmed, and a sixth-rank priest from the Mishima Shrine flew into the air and roared.
"What are you doing? This is the port of the Offshore Bureau. It is no longer..."
Before the priest could finish his words, a palm of energy suddenly appeared from above and slapped him down, which immediately frightened many people. Only strong people above the top level could kill a sixth-level warlock instantly.
Toyotomi Hideta looked down from above and burst out with top-level spiritual power, and spoke to the members of the Outer Sea Division who were rushing over from below.
"Naomi Kono colluded with monsters to murder the former director and deputy director of the Wrath of the Sea Department, and now he has been brought to justice. From now on, the Wrath of the Sea Department will take over everything in the Outer Sea Bureau. All suspects of the Mishima Shrine cannot leave the port. Those who disobey the order will be considered as accomplices of Naomi Kono."
Hundreds of people at the port looked at each other in bewilderment, but faced with the absolute pressure they could only surrender.
With a large number of Angry Sea personnel entering the port, the place was quickly cleaned up.
One submarine, one supply ship, four frigates, 11 patrol ships, plus the three existing frigates of the Angry Sea Department, only two missile destroyers are needed to return to the peak number of ships of the Angry Sea Department.
In addition to the fleet, there is also air force, five armed helicopters. These big guys are equipped with a 30mm caliber aircraft gun, 6 anti-tank missiles and 4 air-to-air missiles.
There are also 8 transport helicopters, one large transport helicopter that is 35 meters long and can carry 24 tons of supplies, two medium transport helicopters, five light models, and 11 ordinary helicopters.
There are also a lot of arms in the warehouse. In addition to the warships, the total value is close to 600 billion, and the supplies are also huge.
Toyotomi Hideta looked at the harvest and felt very happy. Wow, it seems that Naomi Kono is really ambitious. He actually bought so many weapons. According to the documents, the weapons have only arrived in the past week. Like the submarines and frigates, they are temporarily unusable. Either the weapons are not in good condition or there is a lack of crew members.
Although light weapons are not difficult to obtain in this country, armed helicopters, tanks, warships, etc. are impossible to obtain without official background, and the Baixian Society has already amended the law.
No noble family can possess these powerful weapons. Of course, no one would know if they possessed them secretly, but they dare not take them out.
Unfortunately, according to the agreement with the Ryujun Shrine, half of the ships and weapons must be delivered to the Ryujun Shrine, and he dared not breach the contract.
That is to say, there is one submarine, two frigates, five patrol ships, two armed helicopters, four transport helicopters, five ordinary helicopters, and a large amount of military supplies.
This has simply fattened up the Dragon King's fleet, it hurts just thinking about it.
As for misusing public property for personal gain, that is not the case, because these warships and weapons will be placed under Robin's name, which means that the little girl from the Kamo family is already an invisible deputy minister. It's really good to have a good man.
Soon Robin sorted out the supplies and reported to Toyotomi Hideta that the assets that the Raging Sea Department could receive in the entire port reached 3000 billion. As for the port land, military camps and the like, they belonged to the government and therefore could not be bought or sold.
Toyotomi Hideta looked at the list and felt greedy. If he swallowed them all, the family would at least grow by one third. However, the old man quickly overcame his greed and asked Robin beside him.
"Has Lord Longjun arrived at his destination?"
"Should be arriving soon."
Chapter 238: Divine Miko Sisters
In Mishima City, Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture, there is a large forest in the city center. This forest not only houses the Mishima Taisha Shrine, the headquarters of Mishima Shrine, but the northern part is also the home of the Kono family, which has more than 300 members.
The buildings in the clan territory are small courtyard villas, with a combination of ancient and modern styles, and they are very valuable. Most of the Kono main family and branches live here, and other clan members are scattered all over the country.
At this time, Yuzuru Nagayama was sitting in a high-rise building next to him, observing the Kono family and thinking about how to maximize their benefits.
He was indeed surprised after just a few minutes of observation. He didn't expect that the average talent of the Kono family members was far higher than that of the Hojo family. There were no less than 10 people with A-level talent alone. They were indeed a big family that dominated the area.
As for the talents, most of them are from the Kono family, and some are even mixed with other blood talents. It is conceivable that in the past 800 years, the Kono family has intermarried with many famous families, some of whom even have Amaterasu blood.
It is worthy of being an old and established force that has maintained its first-class status for more than 700 years. If it had not fallen into his hands, it is conceivable that it might have been able to reach a higher level.
After observing for a while, Yuzuru Nagayama finally became interested. He wondered if there was a way to recruit a group of shrine maidens from the Kono family, or at least a few shrine maidens with A-level talents, to increase the shrine's power.
Unfortunately, many members of the Kono family were killed by the Ryukun Shrine, and the rest were taken captive. This makes it extremely difficult, like killing someone's relatives and wanting to take them in as servants.
When Yuzuru Nagayama was hesitating, something unexpected happened. A group of people in different costumes appeared in the distance. Among them was a middle-aged man dressed as Onmyoji. He had seventh-level spiritual power and could not hide it much, causing people to avoid him wherever he passed.
Yuzuru Nagayama suddenly became interested and muttered to himself.
"It's probably the only first-rate force left nearby."
If there is no speculation, this group of people are the Onmyoji Ryo entrenched in Numazu City and parts of Mishima City, the Tsu-mei Onmyoji Ryo, a member of the Hyakkenkai, and the vice president of the Shizuoka Prefecture Onmyoji Association.
According to the information, the Tsumei Onmyoji has been promoted to a first-class force for 150 years. For some unknown reason, it has been in conflict with the Mishima Shrine since the establishment of the shrine, and has often had friction with the Mishima Shrine for more than a hundred years.
There was even a well-known gunfight. In the battle several decades ago, a sixth-level warrior died on each side. It can be said that they were enemies that could not tolerate each other.
Yuzuru Nagayama touched his chin. These Onmyoji were right. They were here to take advantage of his misfortune. They were really well-informed. But it was also good. It just matched his inner thoughts.
The atmosphere in the Kono family was not so optimistic at this time. The elders in the family were unable to contact the former head of the family, Naomi Kono, and even the future head of the family and future chief priest, Koichi Kono, who was at the peak of the sixth level, could not be contacted.
The atmosphere within the tribe affected other members of the tribe in just a few hours. At this time, two women, one big and one small, were walking on the road with cooking ingredients. The 15-year-old girl asked her sister next to her.
"Sister, what happened in the clan?"
The girl's elder sister was a mature lady with long black hair. She was seen pulling her younger sister to go home as soon as possible, as they felt much safer with the barrier they had set up.
"Don't worry about what happens. Let the main family and the elders' council take care of the affairs of the clan and even the shrine."
The girl retorted, covering her eyes with a patch.
"Sister, you are too indifferent. As the sister of the future clan leader, you should be more competent. The seal in my eyes is about to be released."
"."
The black-haired sister tapped her sister's head. Unlike her sister with the Chuunibyou syndrome, she could smell something wrong in the clan, so she not only wanted to go home, but also planned to pack up her things and move out for a while.
It's too weird. The head of the family has mobilized all the clansmen who can be mobilized, and now the atmosphere is very wrong.
