The helicopter slowly lowered its altitude in the pure blue sky.
Below is a small town that is exquisite and beautiful, almost like a phone call.
The town is not big, there is no industrial pollution, and there is no dense traffic. The fallen leaves in autumn are scattered on the smooth streets, giving it a messy aesthetic, but the city as a whole is extremely clean, with villas scattered one after another and large areas of greenery.
Surrounding the entire city, the continuous green color and yellowing leaves extend all the way to the end of the small town. Spectacular white waterfalls gush out of the mountains and fall down, turning into a clear lake around the city. The quiet and beautiful small town is surrounded by the lake.
Surrounded by others, her elegance seemed to be forgotten by the whole world.
"This is the best world of mortals."
Condescendingly, Qin Weibai watched this scene through the window of the cabin, and a look of longing flashed across his perfect face: "There is no dispute, no calculation, no fatigue, and no need to struggle. If you don't want to do something, then don't do it. The real
Freedom, peace and joy.”
"It's too idealistic to say this. In fact, there are still some small disputes and conflicts, but most of the frictions are within control. Compared with the outside world, this place can be regarded as the best."
Lin Youxian smiled. As the helicopter landed on the neat lawn, he opened the hatch and bowed slightly: "Clan leader, please."
Qin Weibai nodded and walked out of the cabin.
It has been a month since he got the body of the God of War, and Qin Weibai officially arrived in Switzerland.
This is also her first time coming to the Lin Clan's headquarters.
She stepped on the green grass with her feet, raised her head slightly, looked at the small town in front of her, and looked at the crowds of people coming to welcome her.
Under the mottled and poetic ancient city wall, the welcoming crowd stood quietly and neatly, everyone staring at Qin Weibai.
A golden fishtail dress wrapped her exquisite figure. She wore a light makeup most of the time. Under the golden hat, her sharp and delicate face looked even more dreamy. She wore silver high heels.
, exquisite handbag, she stepped off the cabin, the knight stood beside her, Lin Youxian bowed slightly, the bright and warm sunshine fell on her golden dress, the indescribable beauty and nobility was like a wave sweeping the whole city.
strength.
Quiet, mysterious, cool and dreamy.
As if sacred.
This is the first time Qin Weibai has come to Wangyou Villa, the headquarters of the Lin clan.
It was also the first time that the new leader of the Lin clan came to Wangyou Villa.
Before that, all the heads of the Lin clan’s branches scattered around the world rushed back to Wangyou Villa.
The relationship between the Lin Clan headquarters and the major branches has always been loose. The headquarters provides the branches with necessary development funds in the early stage, and after the branches mature, they must also fulfill their responsibility to support the headquarters in terms of funds. Simply put, the headquarters and
Before the major branches, except for receiving funds from the major branches, the two sides often had no contact. Only when a branch encountered great difficulties would the branch contact the headquarters and apply for arbitration from the headquarters.
There is always only one outcome of arbitration, and that is of course help.
The Lin Clan will formulate a support plan as soon as possible, possibly by asking other branches to provide financial support, network support, or even force support and technical support to branches in need. The Lin Clan, which has been developing for hundreds of years, has never interfered.
The development of branches, the major branches are densely packed in the family tree, and they can be said to be diverse. There are consortiums that span Europe, there are mafia domination in North America, there are drug lords who dominate South America, and there are also warlords who dominate the mountains in Africa. No matter who asks for help,
No matter what kind of support a branch needs, the Lin clan can always give him what he needs as soon as possible. When a certain branch encounters a disaster, the clan leader of the clan will even personally intervene.
For hundreds of years, each generation of the Lin Clan Headquarters has had a peak invincible master sitting in charge. This is also one of the keys to the tribe's ability to maintain its transcendent status. In general, the Lin Clan Headquarters has been incompetent with the world for hundreds of years.
In life, what I do most is to coordinate the relationship between the major branches, provide some help when necessary, and recover some money.
Not many branches are given to the headquarters.
The headquarters gives little to its branches.
But each other's existence is extremely important to each other.
This is the most perfect mutual need in politics. To be precise, this is an alliance, an extremely stable, almost unbreakable alliance.
Hundreds of years may make the kinship between the countless branches and the headquarters become indifferent, but in this alliance, this is not important at all.
The most important thing is that both parties can give to each other, but neither is a burden to the other.
The branch's money and power are not needed by the headquarters.
To put it bluntly, money, power, and status are all external forces. Whether these things are important or not depends on what they can do.
And if these things can be done, the headquarters can also do it. They accept feedback from the major branches and can do almost everything. When the headquarters has so much money that they can’t even count it, why do they need so-called benefits?
?
The life in the headquarters is also not what the major branches like. The leisure and freedom may be acceptable to most people, but it is not suitable for careerists. They are the ones who make the most of the storm outside, have money and power, and there are people behind them.
Strong support from all over the world has nothing to do with the headquarters. Even if they do, what can they covet?
The headquarters has almost no requirements for them. They are a group of carefree lazy people. What they usually do is to coordinate the work of the major branches and be impartial. Even if they want to usurp the throne and become the clan leader of the headquarters, they will still do this.
They might not be able to do this kind of work, but this would be equivalent to destroying the survival model of the entire Lin clan. All the major branches would not agree. Those who don't want to do this work will most likely establish a new branch instead of usurping the throne, because
There will be serious consequences if you fail, and there will be no benefits if you succeed.
On the contrary, the more stable the core position of the headquarters is, the more stable the development among the major branches will be.
It's a true win-win.
This alliance model is completely opposite to the way the Beihai Wang family gathers all branches. The Lin clan's approach will reduce the cohesion within the clan, disperse the scale to a certain extent, and then reduce the deterrence, but they will never have to worry about civil strife.
, this alliance is extremely stable. As long as we don't encounter unimaginable foreign enemies that fundamentally wipe out the Lin Clan headquarters and all branches, a model like the Lin Clan can develop for five hundred, thousands or even longer years. This model will last for 500 years or more.
The important condition is that there must be a strong person in the headquarters who can control the situation, not only in the Lin clan, but also in the entire dark world.
For example, Lin Fengting now.
The idea of the Beihai Wang family is undoubtedly to strengthen the cohesion within the family without limit. The entire Beihai Province, the seven sword-wielding families, and the dozens of branches of the Beihai Wang family are all gathered together. While sharing mutual interests, some
Sometimes it is equivalent to forcing branches to be loyal to the family. This cohesion that is forced together is undoubtedly the most terrifying at certain times. This is also the reason why the Beihai Wang family has been the number one force in the dark world for hundreds of years.
.
However, strong centralization will also lead to increasing conflicts of interest, so the Wang family in Beihai has never been peaceful. When conflicts accumulate to a certain extent, reshuffling becomes a fixed procedure. Therefore, for hundreds of years, Beihai has
An extremely violent internal conflict breaks out in the Wang family almost every period of time, which may last for decades or hundreds of years, such as the increasingly clear rift between Wang Qinglei and Wang Tianzong.
Similar situations have been staged several times in the past. This absolute crisis also contains huge opportunities. If the Beihai Wang family cannot handle it well, it will end up falling apart. Once the cards are successfully reshuffled, the Beihai Wang family will be waiting for what happens.
After Nirvana is reborn, the cohesion of the entire North Sea will return to its peak state. During that period, they are often the most invincible force in the dark world. They will rapidly strengthen themselves in the process, and then as time goes by, waiting for new
Conflicts broke out, the cards were shuffled again, and they became strong again.
Just like the Wang family in Beihai now.
Wang Tianzong is nowhere to be found.
Wang Xiaoyao openly rebelled.
The deterrence of the Beihai Wang family has dropped to its lowest point, but as long as the Beihai Wang family can survive the current difficulties, and when the two brothers Wang Tianzong and Wang Xiaoyao decide the winner, as long as the Beihai Wang family is still there, at least in the next few dozen days
In a hundred years, they will still stand at the pinnacle of the dark world.
One is to control the major branches and crazy centralize power to increase overall strength.
One is to keep all branches alone most of the time.
These are two completely different development models of the Wang family and the Lin family.
Qin Weibai couldn't tell the difference between the two development models, but he could clearly see that they were two different development concepts.
It's like being able to see the personalities of the two ancestors of the Wang family and the Lin family.
This is the origin and beginning of the two major families, and it is also the development model that continues to this day.
The original genius of the Beihai Wang family always believed in his family. He believed that the collective strength of the whole could defeat everything, so the current Beihai Wang family was born. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been ups and downs, many ups and downs, even if it is temporarily
He has fallen into underestimation, but still has the power to return to the top.
The original God of War of the Lin Clan always believed in individuals. He firmly believed that an invincible individual could sweep the entire world. Therefore, with the current Lin Clan, the tribe maintains an absolutely high-end combat power and is incompetent with the world, and its branches develop freely.
For hundreds of years, they have had no ups and downs, have never fallen into underestimation, and have never reached the peak. They have always stood within reach of the peak, neither advancing nor retreating, and their stability is chilling.
Qin Weibai stood quietly, no one knew what she was thinking in this short period of time.
The heads and representatives of the various branches of the Lin clan also stood quietly, looking at their new clan leader.
She is not an invincible master.
But this is the choice of Lin Fengting, the strongest person in the dark world today.
Qin Weibai took a step forward.
The golden dress, silver shoes, perfect face, dreamlike, sacred and noble.
"Hello."
Her voice sounded in front of Wangyou Villa, clear and light.
Everyone bowed slightly at the same time: "Clan leader."
"Um."
Qin Weibai nodded: "Go back and talk."
She walked towards the city gate, saying to go back, not to go in.
It seems that from this moment on, she has officially entered the role of the patriarch.
Thinking may take a long time, but decision-making often only takes a moment.
She is the leader of the Lin Clan, and she will control the direction of the Lin Clan in the next few decades.
Judging from the current situation in the dark world, the situation of the Lin clan is really good.
Because Lin Fengting's level is too high.
Wang Tianzong's injury will not recover for a while.
The same is true for Kuangtu Li.
Lin Fengting is the only person who has broken through the peak invincibility realm and can recover a certain amount of combat power in a short period of time.
This time, the pinnacle of the entire dark world is really right in front of the Lin clan. With just a hand, they can replace the Beihai Wang clan.
Qin Weibai didn't know if the Lin clan had such an opportunity in history, but faced with this opportunity, she finally chose to give up.
She chose to follow the original direction of the Lin clan, standing just a stone's throw away from the peak, neither moving forward nor retreating.
This may be exactly what Lin Fengting hopes.
He doesn't mind Qin Weibai using the Lin clan's resources to support Li Tianlan and the East Palace.
However, the Lin clan's basic attitude of not contending with the world cannot be changed.
How this works is Qin Weibai's own business.
...
There are very few tall buildings in Wangyou Villa.
The so-called high-rise buildings here are buildings with more than six floors above the ground.
The autumn sunshine shines evenly on this small town that is isolated from the world. The autumn wind blows over, and the fallen leaves turning on the ground seem to be lazy.
Qin Weibai got into a specially customized black car. Including the knight, there were four people in the car. One of the drivers and bodyguards was a woman in her early thirties. She had an average appearance but looked extremely focused, while the other
He was considered a secretary assistant and was slightly younger. He was responsible for assisting Qin Weibai in handling the daily affairs of the Lin clan. This was all arranged by the Lin clan. Qin Weibai didn't say much.
The huge welcoming motorcade drove into the city gate of Wangyou Villa and entered an extremely wide Yingbin Avenue. Slowly going down along the spacious Yingbin Avenue, the motorcade gradually drove into a tunnel-like space.
Qin Weibai raised his eyebrows.
The secretary sitting in the passenger seat noticed Qin Weibai's expression and said softly: "Chief, Yingbin Avenue is the only driveway on the ground of Wangyou Villa, connecting all underground traffic roads. Only when you leave Yingbin Avenue can you
When you actually enter Wangyou Villa, there are no vehicles or parking lots on the ground. The ground is planned to be a large modern park. We established the underground transportation network of the Villa hundreds of years ago. The underground lanes extend to
Every corner of the villa is equipped with elevators and buildings, and all the vehicles within the Lin clan travel underground on weekdays."
"Um."
Qin Weibai nodded: "Shengzhou City."
"Yes."
The secretary nodded, with a somewhat proud tone: "Everything in Wangyou Villa is similar to Shengzhou City, the capital of Beihai Province. Shengzhou is the most beautiful city in Central Continent, and Wangyou Villa is even more exquisite in this regard than Shengzhou City.
.”
Qin Weibai smiled and nodded.
The entire city of Shengzhou City is also a park structure. There are always only pedestrians on the ground and no vehicles can be seen. The Wang family of Beihai used a large amount of funds to build all the traffic roads in Shengzhou City underground. The whole city looks like
Like an extremely huge garden, this multi-level urban structure means that there are no so-called traffic lanes in the entire city, only sidewalks. The traffic lanes are built underground, which not only alleviates pollution, but also greatly reduces traffic accidents.
The subway line has effectively solved the traffic pressure. According to the survey in Zhongzhou, Shengzhou has the best air index, the lowest pollution, the largest green area, and the highest people's life satisfaction among all cities in Zhongzhou.
It is not that there are cities that want to imitate Shengzhou City, but we can only think about it. Such transformation is equivalent to rebuilding a city and wasting a city's financial revenue for many years. Not to mention, Youzhou will not be able to approve the project. This kind of high-cost project
There are some outrageous renovated cities, and currently there is only one city in the Holy State in the entire Central Continent.
"It is indeed more refined than Shengzhou."
Qin Weibai said.
She has been to Shengzhou more than once, and bicycles can still be seen occasionally on the ground in Shengzhou City.
And in Wangyou Villa.
I am afraid that most people have no idea what a bicycle is.
"How many people are there in the villa now? How big is the area of the villa?"
Qin Weibai asked.
The secretary thought for a while and said accurately: "The villa covers an area of about 40 square kilometers. There are currently 3,227 people staying in the villa all year round, but there will definitely be more and more people here in the future."
Qin Weibai nodded and said, "I like it here."
The secretary pursed his lips and smiled, his face shining with pride from the bottom of his heart.
...
The motorcade finally stopped in an underground parking lot near the center of the small town. The secretary led Qin Weibai into the elevator. When the elevator door opened, they had already entered a single-family villa with an exclusive courtyard.
"This is your exclusive elevator, with fingerprint recognition. This is your office and residence. Patriarch, if you have anything else you need or are dissatisfied with, you can tell me and I will arrange it right away."
The secretary smiled and said.
Qin Weibai glanced at the decorations in the hall and nodded casually: "What's your name?"
"I am Lin Ying, the leader of the clan. It is my honor to serve you."
There was a touch of intimacy in Lin Ying's voice.
In the Lin Clan, which is not completely isolated from the world, the freedom of most people is based on the responsibilities of a small number of people. The Lin Clan has Lin Fengting, so the Lin Clan's main tribe will not compete with the world, but the Lin Clan has more than
It's Lin Fengting.
There is no doubt that Lin Ying is also a core member of the next generation of the Lin clan. The fact that she can be called the secretary of the leader of the Lin clan already shows this.
Standing in her position, he could see the entire dark world more clearly, and naturally understood Qin Weibai better.
That kind of perfection, that kind of coldness, that kind of dreaminess, that kind of wisdom, that kind of strength, that kind of expression.
She is the most perfect woman, bar none.
She is the goddess of the dark world and well deserved.
Therefore, Lin Ying's words are not flattering or complimenting, they are completely sincere.
Qin Weibai hummed, sat on the sofa, took off his hat, combed his hair casually and asked, "When will the old patriarch come over?"
"In about two hours."
Lin Ying said.
The old clan leader refers to Lin Fengting. During this period, he has been staying in the Beihai Wang clan. Qin Weibai had wanted to come to the Lin clan headquarters a month ago. Lin Fengting knew very well why she came here and reminded her of the person she wanted to see.
The situation is very unstable, it is better to stay in Youzhou to deal with other matters.
Qin Weibai waited patiently for nearly a month before receiving a call from Lin Fengting. Although the two of them did not come to Switzerland together, they would arrive on the same day.
Qin Weibai thought for a while and said slowly: "In this case, you inform the representatives of the major branches that there is no need to come over now. We will have a meeting at seven o'clock in the evening. I need to take a rest."
"OK."
Lin Ying nodded, waited for a few seconds, and after seeing that Qin Weibai had no other instructions, she bowed slightly and exited the villa.
Qin Weibai was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand towards the knight.
The knight carefully put down a small backpack on his back, took out a square box from the backpack, and carefully placed it in front of Qin Weibai.
Her eyes were a little complicated and a little excited.
Qin Weibai looked at the box with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Thanks."
The knight suddenly spoke, his tone was sincere and serious.
Since getting the body of the God of War, her attitude towards Qin Weibai has become more and more respectful. Even the saints and military advisors have become more and more respectful towards her.
Qin Weibai shook his head tiredly and said calmly: "You shouldn't be the one to say thank you."
The knight was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said nothing.
"Do you know why I must have this half of the God of War's body?"
Qin Weibai said softly: "If I give up this thing, I can get other more things. Things that are more beneficial to me and the East Palace. For this half of the body of the God of War, the Beihai Wang family originally paid
The cost may even exceed your imagination.”
"To save people."
The knight said respectfully.
"Then why should I save people?"
Qin Weibai raised a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth: "I don't know how to view my relationship with her, but if I say that I am the person who wants her to die the most, no one can object, right?"
The knight's eyes narrowed and he looked at Qin Weibai without saying a word.
There are too many seemingly incredible relationships that are difficult to define.
She doesn't understand the current Qin Weibai, but she also knows the current Qin Weibai very well.
She understands her pride.
If you just look at it from this perspective, Qin Weibai is indeed the person who wants her to die the most.
This is a fact and cannot be denied.
Qin Weibai stood up and walked to the bedside, looked at the sky of the Lin clan through the window, and said softly: "I don't owe her anything anymore. She changed my destiny, and I also changed her destiny. The two are clear.
Are you right?"
The knight frowned, but finally hummed.
"So when she wakes up, I want her to give me my man back. I don't need her charity, but she owes me, and I want to get it back."
Qin Weibai's delicate, dreamlike face showed no expression, but his bright eyes shone with extremely clear stubbornness and pride.
"I love him, and her asking me to love him are two different things."
Clouds pass through the clear sky.
Qin Weibai looked up at the blue sky, his voice soft but insistent.
The knight remembered something.
The biggest enemy in everyone's life is not others.
