Chapter 65: Please Don’t Insult Me!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lorne was a little dumbfounded when he saw his old friends stand up one by one and put on a grand and heroic act for him.

However, when he came to his senses, he was still secretly delighted. As expected, the people of Lolan loved to listen to these kinds of things. They loved to hear others praise them for their courage and then boast about their glory,

He had indeed caught their weak spot.

It seemed that he would have to say more pretentious words in the future, and he had to keep thinking of different ways to say it in the back of his mind.

When he becomes an official in the palace in the future, he could use such pretentious words. When that time comes, the king and the officials would definitely be intimidated by him.

However, Lorne did not know that the group of people with the highest power in Lolan had already sat here and listened to his pretentious words.

It was unknown whether his words would have any effect in the future.

After praising himself in his mind, Lorne stood up too, raised the glass of wine, and gestured to the crowd.

“Although you all are not as intelligent as me, perhaps in terms of ability, you may also be slightly inferior, and your looks are also much inferior to mine.

“But no matter what, you guys are all people of Lolan. I see that you do not lack the courage and heroism that the people of Lolan should have.

“For me, and the Lolan Empire, I’ll toast to it as well!”

As he said this, Lorne also gulped down the wine.

“???”

Was this kid really f*cking used to being praised by people?

Why did it sound a little strange?

Was he praising the rest for their courage, or was he showing off his talent, ability, and handsomeness?

After all, they were already used to Lorne’s way of speaking. Now, they had a certain immunity to his narcissistic tendencies.

Anyway, the main purpose of coming here today has been achieved. As for the final answer to the second question… After Lorne finished speaking, everyone’s opinions were unprecedentedly unified.

The final answer was that there were only five people left, but all the sheep had run away. No one questioned this anymore.

After clearing their minds once again, Kyle and the others became happy again.

After another round of eating and drinking, they wiped out all the ingredients for the hotpot that had been prepared today.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Kyle patted his belly in satisfaction and burped softly.

Then, he stood up and, just like last time, untied his money bag once again.

This seemed to have become the exclusive method of payment for Kyle. Anyway, he came out of the palace in disguise and would not go anywhere else. He just came here.

Carrying a bag of money with him was completely common now for him to pay for this meal. It did not have any other functions.

“Boss, I heard you solve another problem today. It really opened up our minds.

“You can even act as a cultured person when you go out. You really have a lot of things that you know.

“When the third problem of the Spartan Kingdom comes out, I will come to ask you for advice. At that time, you must not refuse.”

Lorne immediately had a look of shock on his face. He quickly shook his hands to Kyle and the others.

“No, no, no. I beg you, please. Please let me off. Please don’t come and find me, okay?

“Don’t ask me to answer such questions. If you want to ask, just ask something difficult.

“You guys only ask such meaningless, low-intelligence questions. I have a feeling that you’re insulting me and my capabilities.

“If I answer too many of these types of questions, if you don’t end up despising me, then I’ll despise myself.”

Seeing the disdain on Lorne’s face before he put on a pleading look, everyone present could not get the words out of their mouths. They wanted to say something, but every time they wanted to, the words were stuck in their mouths.

This was too much. What did he mean by answering such questions that insulted him?

Then who were they when they could not answer the question? Did they have no intelligence? They did not even know if they were supposed to be offended or hurt by this insult.

Thinking of this, Rosen and the others immediately burst into tears. They thought that what happened earlier was already the peak of Lorne’s sarcasm and venomous tongue skills.

However, now they realized that that was only the beginning.

They did not have time to say goodbye to Lorne. Rosen and the others immediately covered their faces and ran out as if they were crying.

Only Kyle was left in the tavern. He looked at Lorne somewhat speechlessly. After a long while, he coughed a few times.

“Lorne, you may say so, but once the third question of the Spartan Kingdom comes out, I still have to come and ask you for the answer. I’m afraid that my curiosity will never end until I know the solution.”

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that he would not be able to withstand Lorne’s vicious tongue, so he quickly ran out of the tavern.

After everyone had run away, Lorne proudly put away the money bag that Kyle had left behind. Then, he casually packed up the pots and pans and began to fiddle with the flowers and plants again.

King Kyle and the others quickly ran out of the street corner and quickly got into the carriage.

The team began to head towards the palace.

For the first half of the journey, the atmosphere in the carriage was a little quiet. Rosen and the others were still immersed in the personal attack and had not yet recovered from their shock.

It was not until the second half of the journey that Allen spoke slowly.

“Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that there are still some matters in the Ministry of War that need to be run on a daily basis.

“How about the next time you come to ask Lorne about the problems of the Spartan Kingdom, I won’t be able to come along…”

Kyle immediately glared at him.

‘How dare he, he’s actually preparing to run away at the last minute and abandon his king?’ Kyle thought to himself.

However, Allen was the push that everyone else wanted.

Rosen immediately followed, “Your Majesty, my Ministry of Education also has a lot of things to deal with. Please forgive me for not being able to come with you next time.”

After Rosen finished speaking, Andrew also had a look to express his stance. The deliberative official — which did not have much communication due to the arrival of the envoys from the Spendan Kingdom — suddenly became the busiest department in the entire palace.

It was as if without them, these departments would not be able to operate and would immediately be paralyzed.

In any case, these people wanted to avoid feeling embarrassed again. Once the third puzzle arises, they dared not come to the tavern anymore.

They were afraid that they would be subjected to vicious words again. Their minds might not be able to bear it. They already had a headache from the blow, and with more mocking words, they were afraid that they would faint on the spot.

After looking around the carriage, Kyle suddenly turned his gaze to Abner.

“Abner, you should come with me next time. After all, they are more familiar with how Lorne is, and you are the only one who knows him the least.

“I’ll let you have a taste of Lorne’s abilities!”
