I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan Novel! - Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Lorne Is Indeed One of Us!

As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Lorne looked at him in surprise. In the end, he looked up and down carefully for a while, as if it was the first day he had met Kyle.

“Old friend, I have to ask. Why are you so interested in me today? Impressive. You really have some skills. I guess the longer you stick around, the more observant you get around me.”

Kyle directly and selectively ignored the profound meaning and tone contained in Lorne’s words.

Instead, he said even more excitedly, “So, are you going to admit to the question I asked, or not?”

Lorne nodded somewhat helplessly.

“Actually, I did have some reservations when I said what I said earlier. There are some things that are not easy to tell you.

“But since you’re asking this now, I should tell you the truth.”

Kyle immediately moved closer to Lorne.

“Hey, if you have something to say, why don’t you tell me everything? Are you worried that I, your friend, will spread it around?

“We’ve known each other for a long time. When have you ever seen me not keep my mouth shut?”

Lorne gestured with an okay sign. Of course, Kyle did not understand what it meant.

“To be honest, I do not have much of an opinion about Buddhism. I do not really admire it.

“Of course, I do not dislike it either.

“Personally, I only like Xuan Moster. I approve of his personal qualities. As for the Buddhism that he admires, I really do not know much about it.

“If you want to ask me, then I still prefer people without religious beliefs.

“If something happens to the country or the country is in danger, will the person who stands out be a higher being like a god? Or a spiritual being?

“No, it’ll be the king, the soldiers, and the people!

“The stable life we have now is all obtained through the blood and sweat of our predecessors.

“Therefore, if we really have faith, I think we should believe in our ancestors!”

Kyle was instantly delighted. It was just as he had expected. It seemed that Lorne was on his side.

He immediately became even more excited and asked, “Tell me more about it!”

Lorne immediately used his fingers to gesture on the table.

“Actually, you were right about some parts. The reason why I emphasized the westward journey of Xuan Moster was for these additional benefits.”

“Xuan Moster should go to India to exchange knowledge and learn Buddhism. What he could learn and what impact he would have when he returned to Lolan are actually not important.

“What’s important is that if Xuan Moster can hear my suggestions, he can use this matter to come up with many other things for our Lolan empire.”

Lorne had just finished speaking when Kyle suddenly slapped his thigh.

“That makes sense. You can even explain it from this aspect. My friend, you’re really amazing! Good thing I asked, or not I would’ve thought that you supported Buddhism.”

Lorne chuckled.

“Actually, Buddhism has its own meaning of existence, but I can’t say exactly how significant it is.

“In comparison, it is more worthy of being praised as the mainstream ideology in our world since it has no religious beliefs.”

Kyle kept nodding as he listened. The gears in his mind kept turning as he listened on.

After the two chatted for a while, Kyle looked at the sky as an indication of the amount of time he had spent here.

He stood up and patted his clothes as he spoke to Lorne.

“To be able to get a definite answer from you and know that you are more inclined towards my perspectives has eased my mind.

“I really did not expect that a matter like Xuan Moster going to India to exchange knowledge and learn Buddhist scriptures could actually lead to so many benefits in your mind.

“You have broadened my horizons once again. It’s a pity that the king can not hear your words. Otherwise, he would have definitely treated you as a distinguished guest and planned this matter.”

Lorne immediately rolled his eyes at Kyle. “Alright, alright. You’re the only one who will ever listen to me like this.

“I’ve told you something that even the king can’t hear. It shows that you have more interest in Lolan than him.”

Kyle smiled and cupped his hands at Lorne.

“Thank you for the meal. I’ll take the blueprint you gave me and go and arrange the basic process properly.”

Lorne smiled and patted Kyle.

“Let’s stop talking about that man. Let’s hurry up and focus on our business. We’ll talk about the rest later!”

Kyle turned around and gestured a goodbye, then quickly left the tavern.

However, this time, he did not go to the salt-refining area in the suburbs of Lolan City. Instead, he gave the blueprint to his confidant and asked him to arrange the plans. After that, he boarded the carriage back to the palace.

As the carriage sped along, Kyle quickly returned to the hall where he had previously handled government affairs.

“Send me Johnny.

“Pass on my decree, say that I, the King of Lolan, has agreed to Xuan Moster’s request and shall allow him to go to India to exchange Buddhist teachings.

“However, I wish to carry out a diplomatic visit to the various countries in India. Xuan Moster must accompany this diplomatic visit and go to India together with my envoys!”

Kyle deliberately thought of this and set up a diplomatic mission to visit the various countries in India.

In this way, the civil and military officials would not misunderstand his intentions and suspect that he supports Buddhism.
