Chapter 274: The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road
"Hemeri! What are you talking about here? You're shaking Alexander's confidence... Get out of here!"
Professor Hemery: "..."
Looking at the angry look of Lawrence, Hemeri curled his lips and then quietly sat down a little further away.
Lamos snorted. "Alexander, as a wizard, besides strength itself, what else is important?"
Alexander quickly replied, "Faith!"
"Crack~"
Lamos snapped his fingers. "That's right. No matter what you do, you must have faith! Saying defeat before the battle... that's not a good habit."
Alexander trembled, "Grandpa Lamos, I know...but..."
Lamos smiled slightly. "I once heard this saying when I was traveling outside: When two meet on a narrow road, the bravest one wins!"
Alexander was shocked. "When two people meet on a narrow road... the brave one wins?"
"That's right. When you and another person are about the same strength, remember to have confidence and the belief that you will win!"
Having said that, Lamos glanced at Hemeri out of the corner of his eye.
Alexander noticed this, but he thought that Lamos was just trying to prevent Hemeri from talking nonsense again.
But he didn't know that what Lamos said was also addressed to Hemeri.
Hemerli knew this, but he didn't buy it.
Why are you looking at me? It's useless to look at me!
How can everything go as planned?
According to his thinking, he still prefers to think about it in advance... For example, what to do if he fails...
"When two meet on a narrow road, the brave prevails..." Alexander repeated unconsciously, then asked, "Grandpa Lamos, the one who said that must be a very powerful wizard, right?"
Lamos smiled and shook his head. "He's not a wizard... He's just a handsome young man who's famous in the surrounding area, haha..."
Just from Lamos's words and expression at this moment, Alexander knew that this handsome young man must be extraordinary!
"Ahem, Alexander, back to the question just now, do you still think you will lose?"
Under the encouraging and expectant gaze of Lamos, Alexander...slowly nodded.
Lamos: “???…”
"Pfft..."
It was rare for Alexander to find that Mr. Hemery was actually smiling so happily...
However, Hemeri just couldn't help it. When he saw the angry look in Lawrence's eyes, Hemeri quickly lowered his head and pretended that he didn't exist.
"Hmph! Come here!"
Hemeri raised his head when he heard this, then walked back reluctantly.
"Alexander, since you have this concern, let's develop a follow-up response plan according to your teacher's ideas."
"..."
What do you mean by "according to my ideas"?... It's as if I'm certain that Alexander will lose...
But he didn't dare to question Lawrence to his face, so Hemeri coughed lightly and pulled out another person from the pile of information.
"Beatrice?"
Alexander glanced at the paper and his words were full of surprise.
Even Lawrence couldn't help but come over to take a look, "Why is he involved with this little girl?"
Hemerli paused for two seconds and explained his thinking to the two men.
"Some things the Sig family has done in the past two years have gone too far."
Lamos nodded. "And then?"
"Beatrice is missing... As a compromise, the Academy gave them a lot of compensation, including compensation for several small worlds. However, in my opinion, using such means is simply unconvincing."
Hemerli tapped his fingers twice on the word "Sieg".
"What will the audience think then? They're not fools. When they see Beatrice take second place without even appearing, they'll simply think that the Sig family's power is so great that even the academy will be outshined."
When Hemerli moved his fingers away, he saw that the paper he had tapped twice just now was slowly cracking like ice.
Even the sound made a "crunching" sound, which made Alexander wonder if it was paper.
Hiss... Hemeri is still too comprehensive...
Just this one move increased Alexander's respect for Hemeri a little more.
"Professor Lamos, many wizards in the Black Bone Forest have left the academy and either gone to the Sig Family Headquarters or the Sig Chamber of Commerce.
If we don't suppress their arrogance, then the Black Bone Forest... won't it become the Black Bone Forest of the Xige family again?"
Alexander was stunned.
He hadn't thought about these things, and... could he listen to these things?
The fact is, you can listen...
Because he is part of the plan.
Lamos had been listening and nodding, and when Hemeri finished speaking, Lamos couldn't help but applaud twice.
"Haha, it seems that Professor Hemerli... no, it should be said that Vice Dean Hemerli is dedicated to the public good."
Hemeri's face suddenly turned red, and Alexander looked at him with curiosity.
Hemeri... Vice President?
That's not right, Mr. Hemery is not the vice-president...
Seeing Alexander's puzzled expression, Lamos smiled and explained, "Your teacher Hemeri is about to achieve a breakthrough. With his strength and contributions, he will definitely become the vice-president."
Alexander: "...Congratulations, teacher!"
Hemery rolled his eyes at him and then went on to tell his own story.
"Although the Xige family is also on the decline, it cannot match the rapid decline of several other families. To the extent that, in the eyes of outsiders, the Xige family seems to be still expanding..."
"Hahahahaha! That's exactly the truth!"
Lamos laughed heartily. "Actually, we had a discussion about this a while ago, also about the Sig family. We concluded at the time that we should suppress them after the war..."
So why did Professor Hemmerly choose this opportunity?"
Hemery was silent.
Alexander tried to think of an answer, but unfortunately, he had no idea.
Problems at this level were beyond his comprehension.
This made Alexander miss the past...
In the past, he only needed to consider whether he could eat today and what to eat, but now...
Dissecting this wizard today and discussing that family tomorrow made him very tired.
Instead of urging Hemeri, Lamos leaned back leisurely on the chair, then continued to lean back so that only the two legs at the back supported him.
The chair didn't fall over, but it started to turn around.
One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles...
He was like a happy old naughty boy, and Alexander couldn't help but glance at his chair.
How about...he take a spin for fun too?
