"Hahaha, if you want to tease me with this idea, then you are wrong......" Xiao Yi expressed his attitude towards Illester's absurd statement with a wild laugh, but he saw that the other party's expression was still smiling halfway, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong and then stopped laughing.

“...... Hell, you're serious!?"

The old dean smiled, "Why not! Is there anything strange about it?"

Xiao Yi spread his hands: "Of course it's strange! You've only seen me a few times in total, and you want me to come here as a teacher, and it's also a condition for me to study magic here." I don't think I'm stupid, but I can't think of any connection there's going on?"

Illester said, "You're an alchemist, that's right!"

"The master doesn't dare to call himself, but my alchemy level is not bad, and then what!"

"There is a professional discipline of alchemy in the academy, and the teacher who teaches alchemy is about to face a shortage recently, at this time, you came to the academy with a letter of recommendation from His Majesty the King to ask for further study, so I will invite you by the way!"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, it makes sense, but there are still a few points in this that I am more confused about!"

First, the highest academy of the empire, the teacher reserve and personnel arrangements should be relatively complete, enough to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, if what you say is true, then there must be something big or you are hiding some important information from me, no matter what kind of situation I have to understand the inside story in detail;

Second, my high level of alchemy does not mean that I am necessarily suitable to teach this subject, and how sure you are that I will be competent;

Thirdly, the way you made this request did not look like a formal invitation, and I happen to be not a person who is willing to be coerced, so you are not afraid that I will leave, or is it actually that you have your wishes!"

Faced with Xiao Yi's squinting and obviously aggressive question, Illester behaved very personly:

"Suspicious boy, it seems that if I don't explain it clearly today, you won't let down your guard, so be it!

First of all, I have a good personal relationship with Leonard, so he introduced you last time, you should know this! He has the name of an alchemy teacher here with me, but recently the alchemy guilds of various countries on the mainland will hold a triennial exchange conference at the end of the year, and this year it is our turn to be the leader of Ai Xin, so as the elder of the guild, he has to preside over the preparations in advance, so naturally he can't take care of the teaching here.

The previous exchange conferences are a great opportunity to promote the alchemy level of various countries, but you must also know that although it is only a professional exchange held in the name of a guild, it is also a platform to show the hard power of various countries, and the overall level of alchemy in China is only in the middle of the continent. For this reason, my old guy has been really **** a lot lately......"

"I understand this, but why me? Although there are not many teachers who can take over from Master Leonard, there are still talents in the huge empire!"

“...... Listen to me, anxious boy! Yes, if it's just to replace Leonard, I have teachers available in my academy, but I don't want ordinary teachers. ”

After speaking, Illester stared at Xiao Yi with burning eyes, which made him feel a slight chill in his heart.

"Because there is also a very important reserved item in the exchange conference, which is to compare the outstanding junior talents in alchemy from various countries, and the candidates are mainly from the magic academies and alchemy guilds of various countries, in addition to the cutting-edge disciples of famous alchemy masters in various countries. You may not know that at the auction you helped the two major chambers of commerce to hold earlier, the news brought by the representatives of the alchemy guilds of several other major countries indicated that a few years after the last exchange meeting, there were many alchemy talents from various countries, especially the opposite Maiink emerged an alchemy genius who is said to be a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

At the age of only twenty-five, he has obtained the professional certification of the craftsman level, which can be said to be second to none among the young generation of alchemists on the mainland today, and it is conceivable how much pressure the alchemist community in China will face at this conference, among which the academy that contributes half of the personnel quota every year is the first to bear the brunt.

In fact, Leonard and I have been paying attention to talented students since two years ago, and there are many excellent talents, but unfortunately they are only excellent, even Leonard's personal disciple George is considered a genius, but compared to the top handful, it is still a little worse.

So this time it is really to the extent of being forced to do so, otherwise the old guy will not personally go into battle and toss, but if he can't make achievements in the competition of his juniors, even if the current national strength is the best in the entire continent, but it is slightly inferior in terms of future potential, it is not just a simple matter of losing face.

China's military strength has always been in the lower reaches of the five empires, and if there is a hidden danger of a shortage of talented people, then I am afraid that more countries will have bad intentions because they are greedy for China's wealth, and this is probably a result that no one wants to see.

The top priority now is to find some talented young people as soon as possible in the little time left and maximize their skills, so this is not something that ordinary tutors can easily do, and Leonard and I have come to a consensus that we must find people who can break the shackles of stereotypes and rules to teach these students, and must have innovative research knowledge teaching methods and very high professional standards, which is very difficult to find. ”

Xiao Yi saw Illester pausing here and kept looking at him, and replied, "So you think I have this ability!"

"It's not just that I think, it's actually Leonard who first came up with the idea when he recommended you to me. Trust me, I know more about you than you think!"

Of course, Xiao Yi didn't think that Illester was bluffing himself, as the highest-level dean of the Imperial Talent Reserve Center, he was definitely an existence with extremely high status and power, and it was really simple to investigate a person's intelligence and information, but his most important secret was never included.

So Xiao Yi didn't show great surprise at this: "So what?"

"In short, my confidence in you does not only come from your performance in alchemy skills, the comprehensiveness you have revealed is really beyond the cognitive limits of ordinary people, I have lived for such a long time, and my vision is by no means vegetarian, but even I can't see through your limits at all, so although it is not realistic to be completely sure of you, at least your conditions are worth my gamble.

How about it, are you interested in gambling again, but don't say that I won't dare to take it again after winning last time!"

Xiao Yi shook his head with a smile, and at the same time got up and said:

"Why don't you dare, it's just that I've always been used to betting on myself, since you're not afraid of smashing the pot, I have nothing to worry about, I took this job!"
