Chapter 120: Fooled!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the three envoys treated Lorne as their best friend, the atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became lively.

Lorne drank with the three envoys while occasionally saying a few words about the history of Fusang.

Apart from being able to name the Emperor of Fusang, Lorne was also able to name a few generals and ministers who were relatively more powerful in Fusang.

This shocked the three envoys.

They believed that the owner of this tavern was definitely a person of true knowledge hiding in the streets of Lolan City. Furthermore, he was an expert who had a good understanding of Fusang.

This made the envoys feel touched, but at the same time, they began to cultivate respect for Lorne.

For such a cultured person to just open a tavern in the market, he must be someone who did not seek fame and fortune but lived in seclusion.

Inagumi felt very lucky. They had missed the time to go back to the station to eat because they were busy strolling in the eastern city. Then, they met such a talented person on Silk Street. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

It was rare for the local residents of the Lolan City of the Lolan Empire to not look down on them. It was like they had struck gold.

Therefore, in the following conversation, the three envoys of Fusang were confiding in each other. They were about to tell Lorne everything about themselves.

Lorne had heard about their current situation from all sides and understood the personalities of the three people here.

In any case, according to Lorne’s wise judgment, the three envoys were the type of people who were easy to fool. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

They were roughly the same as his silly disciple, Weiss. They were a bit like the fool, Kyle, who would believe whatever he said.

He was the type who was extremely good at giving nothing for free.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Lorne had to have some kind of twisted theory to fool them.

It meant that Lorne had to show some real ability to fool them. Otherwise, these envoys were not going to believe him. They had some insight and knowledge, so they would not be fooled so easily.

However, these prerequisites were not difficult for Lorne. At most, the steps and process were just a little more complicated.

This was because these envoys from Fusang came to the Lolan Empire to learn something that Fusang did not have.

They must have received a death order from their so-called Emperor Shu Ming before they left.

If they did not learn advanced technology and knowledge from the Lolan Empire, they definitely would not be able to return and report back. Having such an anxious mood, Lorne could only try his best to bluff them.

With the great bluffing technique that he used, he had to bluff these envoys until they became compliant.

Therefore, after figuring out the details and tricks, Lorne first gave a toast to the three envoys.

Then, he coughed a few times and said nonchalantly.

“I wonder if the few of you have thought about which aspects to start from and which advanced things to learn from our Lolan Empire?”

The others were also drinking happily. Lorne’s question was not a secret at all, so they put down their wine glasses and spoke very straightforwardly.

“Actually, the emperor and the ministers had already instructed us about what we should learn before we came to the Lolan Empire.

“In general, we should learn about your country’s political system, the etiquette of the empire and the ministers, the culture of the empire, and all kinds of literature and history books.

“In addition, your empire also has all kinds of advanced technologies in business, farming, water conservancy, engineering, iron smelting, and money-making.

“In addition to those mentioned above, there are too many advantages of different industries and categories. As long as they are more advanced than ours, we will learn them all.

“We might even include your excellent cooking skills, if we are allowed. We are willing to spend a lot of money to learn, as long as you are willing to teach us.

“And your wine-making skills are also very important to us. If possible, teach us anything, money is not a problem!”

Lorne’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

This was f*cking awesome for him. He had really hit it big this time!

He could do it. If he did not get some big benefits from these people, it would not be like him at all. Moreover, these guys were really desperate to know about everything and anything. There was nothing that they did not want to learn.

They even took a fancy to his culinary skills, which allowed him to settle down and make a living.

To be honest, this visit to the Lolan Empire was really a brilliant method. Unfortunately, their opportunities were different now that Lorne came along. These three guys were destined to fall into the hands of the great deceiver, Lorne.

Therefore, Lorne’s eyes immediately revealed a surprised look. Then, he hesitantly glanced around at the three people.

He only sighed when he saw that these three fellows were a little uncomfortable. Then, he shook his head slightly.

The three Fusang envoys were immediately a little confused. Each of them had a blank look on their faces.

The deputy could not help but carefully ask,

“Sir Lorne, could it be that your culinary skills and brewing methods are unique recipes passed down from your ancestors and you are not allowed to share them with outsiders?

“If that’s the case, then just pretend that we did not mention this just now. We don’t want to make things difficult for you.

“After all, you are our friend and an ally to Fusang. It’s fine if you can’t share your culinary skills, friends are more important than that!”

Lorne immediately shook his head and explained.

“It’s not a problem of cooking. We’re all friends. If you want to learn, I can teach you.

“I just feel sorry for all of you. Hundreds of people came to our Lolan Empire to learn from such a grand diplomatic mission.

“You actually didn’t grasp the essence of the learning method, and instead placed all your attention on these superficial skills. You’re really neglecting the essentials of life.”

The three of them were at first dumbfounded, then confused, and then shocked. They were completely dumbfounded.

Sending envoys to the Lolan Empire to learn advanced knowledge and technology in all aspects was their established national policy in Fusang.

In order to formulate this national policy, the entire upper class, led by the Emperor and ministers, discussed for two whole months.

In order to figure out what to prioritize when it came to learning, they put in a lot of effort to know what the Lolan Empire could offer.

In the end, the two months of hard work had been easily shut down by Lorne’s sentence.
