Chapter 356: The Dispute Continues
With the intervention of Master Leonard, the problem of being stopped was finally solved.
The students were taken directly to participate in the test, Xiao Yi wanted to expose the other party's old background in person, this person was immediately arranged to be taken away as soon as he entered, obviously he had been prepared, so the previous doorman asked three questions and didn't know about the practice was obviously deliberate! Although he knew that today's trip would inevitably be difficult, but this little trick was really low-level and naïve.
However, Xiao Yi still didn't have a seizure in the end, because Leonard took this opportunity to pull him to meet a more important person, that is, Link Ke, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild.
When arranging the internship before, Fez, the representative of the die-hard teacher, once ripped Link's name out as a banner, and then Leonard explained that although he was the vice president, when the president was facing abdication and retirement, Link had actually been in charge of the guild's affairs for many years, and the difference was nothing more than a formal title.
And this time, when he was just preparing for the exchange conference, he mainly used all the apprentices trained by the guild to participate in the competition unit of the conference, and it can be said that the students of the academy brought by Xiao Yi are out of natural competition, so it is difficult not to connect with him what happened at the door just now, and it is conceivable that summoning Xiao Yi to meet at this time is definitely not with any friendly purpose.
So Xiao Yi followed Leonard into the living room with caution, and when he saw the legendary head of the guild, Xiao Yi's most obvious first impression of this person was "difficult"!
A robe that is not very luxurious, but delicate and neat, reflects the temperament and demeanor of elegance and erudition, and the energetic posture and face do not look old at all. The action of getting up to greet him with a reserved smile is extremely measured, neither looking arrogant and sluggish, nor to the level of courtesy and friendliness.
The most important thing is that the narrow eyes fly up the eyes, at a glance you can see that it is a clear character, this kind of person whether it is good or evil is extremely obedient to his inner opinions and principles, if it is harmonious, it is good, once the opposite path is definitely able to make you crazy.
"Welcome to your visit to the guild, I am Vice President Link, I have heard Leonard mention you many times, and I have always wanted to get acquainted with you in person, and today I have to meet you really is a rare young talent!"
As soon as he came up, he took a lot of momentum, and showed the posture of a group of predecessors, of course, whether in terms of age or status, he deserved such pomp, but Xiao Yi was not unfamiliar with the world, so he immediately held hands and saluted: "Xiao Yi, the alchemist in the downstream side, has seen His Excellency the President, but he has not seen Master Leonard in alchemy before, and he really dare not be a talent."
It was a fitting meeting to lead the students to participate in the test today, but it happened that His Majesty was wrongly appointed as the representative of the Royal Alchemy Academy to participate in the negotiation and preparation of the conference.
Saying that, he handed over Vincent's appointment document, and Link didn't check it immediately, but stared at Xiao Yi with a slightly cold gaze for a moment before continuing his next moves.
At this point, he also felt that Xiao Yi was not a young man who could handle it by himself, and he could naturally hear a different taste with his sophistication just now, and in summary, Xiao Yi probably conveyed a few hints to him: first, his relationship is not in the alchemist's guild and is not under his control; second, he has his own self-confidence in his profession, and he can't be deceived casually; third, he came to supervise the prison with the king's order, if you want to bully others, you can also weigh it yourself!
In fact, Xiao Yi didn't want to be so aggressive, but he was unprepared to come and be unintentionally calculated by the other party, so he was naturally at a disadvantage, and if he didn't behave strongly, he could really only let the other party pinch and rub the round.
"It's naturally best to get His Majesty's attention in this way!, but fortunately, the guild is well prepared in all its work, otherwise if it really reaches the point where the royal family needs help, I'm afraid it will be too late! But since Your Excellency is here, we are also welcome, and we will cooperate with those who can cooperate, after all, the conference is a must for the empire and the guild, and I will not let it go wrong!"
You and Leonard should know the progress and details of these tasks very well, so I won't be too long-winded. ”
Link's answer was also full of old spiciness, first of all, he stabbed Xiao Yi's behavior of participating on behalf of the royal family: Why do you want to come to help prepare for the conference? Why did you go earlier, I want to point out that your cucumber dishes are cold, and besides, the Alchemist Guild is not a national eagle dog organization, you can come in, but your next words and deeds had better be a little self-aware, otherwise even if you have the king's appointment, don't blame me for not giving you face!
And I know you and Leonard wear the same pair of pants, so if there's any trick in the back, you'd better put it away for me!
It can be said that after testing each other for a round, the two sides are basically equal in momentum, that is, they show an attitude of not giving an inch, and at the same time stipulate a minimum scale of confrontation, and several people know that the next possible collision has just begun.
They are all masters with a very high level of alchemy, and with the theme of the preparatory work of the conference, the three of them chatted harmoniously, and finally mentioned the competition unit of the young alchemist level, and the substantive issues about the selection of candidates still smelled of gunpowder.
"President Link, I think there must be a reason and basis for the convention to be called a convention, the attendance quota of the conference has always been divided between the guild and the academy, I am afraid it is very unreasonable for you to do this this year!" Xiao Yi argued.
"Your Excellency Xiao Yi, since you, as a commissioner appointed by His Majesty, should naturally understand that the meaning of this conference is slightly different from the past, so both the royal and guild sides are facing greater pressure, so I want to change some outdated rules, so that more outstanding young talents can represent the country and the guild to have a chance to save face and fight for honor!" Link replied unhurriedly.
"This is also what I and Dean Illester and Elder Leonard meant, so we deliberately selected the best students in the academy to participate, and do you mean that the apprentices cultivated by the guild must be better than the students of the academy?"
"Forgive me for my wording, I didn't want to be so arbitrary on this point, but facts speak louder than words, and comparing the selection and on-site performance of the previous exchange meetings is enough to explain the problem, and in order to change the weak status quo of our country at this exchange meeting, the apprentices selected by the guild have gone through secret special training for half a year, and I think there is no better candidate than them. ”
"Coincidentally, the college has also done a lot of preparation, and the three-month internship is far more than the experience gained from burying one's head in books, so I really want to say that these students are the best candidates to stand the test!"
Seeing that the quarrel was getting more and more intense, Link stretched out his hand and motioned for both sides to stop:
"You and I have our own opinions, it's useless to talk more like this, and in the end, we still have to speak based on our respective results! It just so happens that I think the results of the test should have come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a guild worker walk in with a piece of paperwork.
