Link's retort was only one sentence, and then he kept silent, but Xiao Yi was able to fully understand the meaning that he didn't say clearly afterwards.

After all, as the head of a meeting, it is impossible to speak viciously to each other like scolding the street in the market, as long as you put on an attitude, the other party is smart enough to naturally be able to understand, if you can't, it is a chicken and a duck to talk about, and naturally there is no need to continue talking.

And his attitude of determination and disdain is obvious now, your Xiao Yi's students are now all wiped out, what position do you, a teacher, have to predict that our side will overturn at the conference in the future, even if it is true, I am afraid that it is better than your students!

"Your Excellency, I know you don't believe me, but I have a basis for saying this!

Your main idea is that you want to win with knowledge beyond this age and level, but you can't guarantee that the conference will use the theme of 'super-curriculum' in the theoretical assessment, which means that there is still a certain amount of risk involved!

And what you can think of, other countries that are competitors must also be able to think of, you said that the apprentices of the guild have been preparing for a long time and should be very sure, but who is not!

Moreover, in the alchemist conferences over the years, the representatives of our country have not been able to win the top rankings, so in the eyes of ordinary people, it is generally believed that the overall level of alchemists in our country is not high, I don't know what you think about this issue!"

"Hmph! It's pure nonsense, our country has always been rich and stable, which has attracted many scholars to settle here, and the guild, as the representative of the country's industry, has never slacked off in cultivating talents and working hard to study skills!

The previous exchange conferences were simply a clumsy drama with ulterior motives, and the alchemists from the Orradito line, led by the Three Kingdoms Guilds of Woodland, Heron, and Wharton, formed an alliance to control the commanding heights and discourse in the field of alchemy on the mainland through the method of sharing resources and jointly cultivating apprentices.

The exchange conference is a tool for them to regularly show off their strength and crack down on the development of alchemists in other countries, and every time it is the arrangement of the competition or the academic seminar, our country will be regarded as the main target, and naturally it will not get good results!"

Link was provoked by Xiao Yi's question for no reason, and he looked very angry.

"But the tests of the competition are all conducted in public, so why do we fail repeatedly when our level is not bad?"

"Hmph, I'm angry when I talk about this! On the surface, the topic proposed by the presidents of all the national guilds seems fair, but in fact, they have the advantage in the number of members of their alliance, and they are all taking advantage of our weaknesses to make trouble!"

"Then tell me, what is the historical weakness of our country?"

"Yes......" At this time, Link, who was still emotional, suddenly got stuck.

"I think you have also reacted, although we are not as good as others on the surface, the most obvious gap is still reflected in the operation technology and alchemy application practice.

It's true that you want to focus on strengthening your relative strengths, but the key is that the other party will give up and continue to target us? The answer is obvious, and you can imagine that the scope of the topic will continue to revolve around application and practice!

And you also said that the other party has great convenience in terms of resources, and the alchemist guild of the Principality of the Woodland has always been in the leading position in the whole continent in terms of theoretical research, if I am in the position of the other party, I expect that you will use theoretical knowledge to fill in the weaknesses in operation, then with the resources in my hands to find some apprentices who can also perform well in this area, it will be easy to find some apprentices who can also perform well in this area, and will also organize people on the spot to focus on the areas you have carefully prepared, and if you are defeated in the most confident things, I am afraid that the blow will also be fatal！

If the other party has the purpose of squeezing out and attacking, I am afraid that there is no more suitable method than this method! And you should know that forcibly contacting knowledge and technology beyond your own level can show a broad and profound level of knowledge on the surface, but in the face of in-depth interrogation and discussion, it will be immediately revealed, and there is absolutely no way to adjust it on the spot with the level of these children, so it is a huge contrast with the illusion of rapid progress in the previous preparations, can you accept it with the mentality of these children who are closed in the guild for learning all year round!

I believe that the apprentices who can be selected should be the most valuable juniors of the guild, and after such a blow, the future of alchemy can be said to be completely nullified, can you accept such a result!"

"But...... It's just speculation ......"

At this time, Link's performance was completely less comfortable than before!

"Do you believe this statement yourself? With your experience and intelligence, you should be able to understand that what I am saying is inevitable that it will happen, and if you don't admit it at this point, I have nothing more to say!"

Link was silent, and under Xiao Yi's gesture, Leonard also helped persuade him:

"Link, I know that you also want the guild to take the opportunity to break through the resistance, so that the younger generation of alchemists in our country can learn and grow with more confidence. But this time the situation is special, and most of the reasons why Maineck, who has not appeared at the conference for many years, have appeared so strongly this time is for us! Unlike other countries, what they want to see is not at all the highest point of our scholarship, but the strength that can put alchemy into war.

The practical ability we have demonstrated in this regard is crucial, and if the other side sees that the younger generation of our country is all nerds who are preoccupied with books and obscure knowledge, I am afraid that we will have to reassess our military strength. You have also read the war report on the Western Front a few years ago, if it weren't for Xiao Yi trying to turn the tide, maybe the other party would have taken the opportunity to break through my country's defense line!

After this conference, how much action our vicious neighbor will make will probably directly depend on how much we can show in operation and application, Xiao Yi once said a sentence when talking to me about this matter, I think it is very suitable for this situation, 'animal hair must be attached to the skin, if the skin is peeled, there will naturally be no conditions for hair growth', if the country once into war, how can we talk about development and growth!

Old man, don't be righteous at this juncture!"

After listening to Leonard's analysis, Link took a few steps back and sat back in his seat, muttering to himself:

"I'm wrong, but even if we do, we can't do anything......"

"No, it's still too late!" Xiao Yi cut the railroad and immediately attracted the attention of the two.

"President Link, I know that you are bent on the better development of our country's alchemy field, and the most immediate task is to frustrate the spirit of those who have different intentions for us at the conference, as long as you can achieve this goal, I think you will not be stuck in the small matter of the competition between the advantages of the academy and the guild!

Then I have a reluctant request now! I and Elder Leonard would like to test the children of the Academy and Guild again, and this time we are going to find out who really has the hope of helping us achieve this goal, and I believe that these children can be used as sharp weapons in our hands with a little polishing to the point of the other side!"
