I’ll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan! Chapter 118

Lorne looked at the three people in strange clothes and was a little confused at first.

He thought that Kyle or a member of a merchant group that he was familiar with had introduced him to some customers.

However, he did not notice any familiar faces among the three people. Instead, it was the strange clothes of these three people that baffled him the most.

They did not seem to be natives of the Lolan Empire. They were either foreigners or businessmen who came to Lolan City to do business. However, they were customers that seemed to be generous.

Therefore, Lorne took a few steps forward and greeted them:

“Do you want to have lunch in my tiny tavern?”

When the leader heard this, he immediately nodded heavily. Then, he said in a somewhat awkward tone, along with awkward english.

“Yes, we are a diplomatic people and have a mission from Fusang. We are here to learn from your country on the orders of the Emperor of Fusang!

“As we stroll in the eastern and western markets of Lolan City in your country, we missed the time to have lunch, so we could only look around.

“Fortunately, your tavern is still open. The three of us want to have lunch here.”

After saying that, the three of them bowed to Lorne.

As soon as Lorne finished speaking, he was immediately shocked.

These three people in strange clothes were actually from Fusang.

It was no wonder that the tone of their conversation and the clothes they were wearing were somewhat similar to the style of the Japanese people.

It was not that Lorne did not recognize them at first glance… It was just that the people of this era did not have those remarkable characteristics.

They spoke their own language. The main language here was Lolan’s language, which had been passed down from the three countries of Liaodong.

Moreover, the entire middle and upper class of the Fusang people learned Lolan’s language. For example, these envoys that were sent as a kind of diplomatic mission were considered fluent in Lolan’s language.

In terms of clothing and hairstyle, they were all imitating the habits of the Lolan Empire, and they were trying their best to imitate the Lolan culture.

After understanding this, Lorne knew what these people were planning to do.

Lolan had neglected an important event in history, and that was the envoys from the Fusang Empire.

They were different from the ordinary diplomats that arrived here. The main purpose was not to acknowledge Lolan as a ruler, but to specially send talents from the Fusang Empire to the Lolan Empire to learn all kinds of elite culture.

They learned everything from business, culture, politics, and even language and clothing.

To be honest, this was actually a brilliant move made by the ruler of Fusang.

With this move, the economy and culture of the originally backward and declining Fusang developed rapidly, improving for hundreds of years in one go.

However, Lorne did not really like this so-called envoy.

It was not because of anything else, but because this group of Fusang people was a typical ungrateful wolf, a greedy wolf, in fact.

From this time on, over the years, a total of 19 envoys were sent, each time with a scale of several hundred people.

They stayed for a long period of time, and the Emperor and ministers of the Lolan Empire were very generous. They had always been very tolerant towards this kind of foreign and small country.

In the eyes of the Emperor and ministers like Kyle, all they did was learn a few things. On the contrary, they treated the Lolan Empire as their father and became loyal lackeys of the Lolan Empire.

Therefore, Kyle and the others supported these envoys.

However, the bad thing was that this was a typical betrayal storyline.

After Fusang obtained the various economic and cultural technologies of the Lolan Empire, it began to rapidly leap forward.

When the Lolan Empire was at its peak, it would naturally not be as strict on its guard.

However, when the Lolan Empire was in trouble, Fusang finally revealed their fangs and paid the Lolan Empire no mercy whatsoever.

The various advanced technologies of the scholars of the Lolan Empire were instead used to invade the territory of the Lolan Empire1,000 years later.

Although more than 1,000 years have passed, Lorne felt that the connection was very strong.

This was because the technology that they had learned from the Lolan Empire benefited everyone in Fusang and extended to their descendants from generation to generation.

Otherwise, even after a few 100 years, the development of Fusang would not have been so this progressive. Whether or not they would have the qualifications to adopt this new policy in the future, that new policy would probably be just a dream.

That was why Lorne loathed Fusang and loathed Lolan. He did not want these advanced technologies to become a pile of future disasters.

Moreover, the Lolan Empire had let these Fusang people send large-scale teams over again and again to learn, and it was almost to no avail.

It was purely a free benefit given by Lolan to Fusang that ends in betrayal.

Such an approach was rather undesirable in Lorne’s eyes. Although the Fusang Empire had not developed yet, there was no need to doubt that they were rich in gold mines and other rare metals.

Therefore, Lorne’s mind worked at a high speed for a while before he had a clear idea.

Anyway, he decided not to chase these three Fusang people out with a broom.

Looking at the way these three people acted alone, it was possible that they were the ones with the right to speak in the envoy group. Even if they were not the main or deputy envoys, they had a certain status.

Since the imperial court did not care about this, he had to get something out of them and guide them into the wrong area.

That would be a great plan!

Thinking of this, Lorne immediately smiled.

“So you’re from the distant Fusang. Since you’ve come to my Lolan Empire, you must be our esteemed guests.

“Please, take a seat. I’ll prepare some good food for you now!”

The three messengers from Fusang immediately had a look of surprise in their eyes.

This place was far from the courier station that the imperial court had arranged for them. When they returned, they were so hungry that their stomachs grumbled.

That was why they had tried their luck and coincidentally bumped into Lorne’s tiny tavern with its door open.

They did not expect that there would really be food to serve them. Therefore, the three of them bowed to Lorne a few more times. In any case, this kind of etiquette was quite well-done.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hospitality. If you have any good food, please bring it to us. We will definitely be generous with our payment.”
