nEveryone present was silent and did not know what to say.

n

n‘Hey, hey, hey, why did you have to be so straightforward? Is there a need to be so discouraging towards us?!

n

n‘We have discussed this for so long in the study room, but we still haven’t come to a conclusion.

n

n‘How could you say that you could easily come up with an answer in just two breaths?’

n

nKyle could not help but complain a little in his mind.

n

nKyle and the others were speechless. They looked as if they were looking at Lorne turn into an alien. There was no sound in the tavern for nearly thirty seconds.

n

nLorne looked at everyone’s expression and immediately said with his hands on his waist, “What’s wrong? I see that all of you don’t seem to be convinced? Then how about this, I don’t care about solving it. All of you, tell me what you think the answer is!”

n

nKyle immediately replied, “I think that the people and the sheep have all run away. After all, earthquakes kill people every month. No one can withstand it. If they stay there and not run, they would just die, won’t they?”

n

nAfter Kyle, the other people also gave their own answers.

n

nSome had answers such as the people and the sheep were there, and there were also four people left.

n

nIn short, there were five answers including the one from Kyle.

n

nLorne immediately snorted disdainfully.

n

n“I told you that you guys were too weak. You actually came up with so many completely unreliable answers to such a question.

n

n“Now, I seriously suspect that you guys have been in the medicinal herbs business for so many years. Did you make a loss or did you make a profit? You might even lose all your capital with such a mindset.”

n

nHearing Lorne’s words — which felt like knives stabbing in their backs — caused the people around him to form a headache.

n

nIt was ridiculous. One sarcastic sentence was enough to give them a headache. Why did he have to keep mocking them like this?

n

nWhy was he always making things difficult between them?

n

nKyle could not help but pat his head to calm himself down a little before he opened his mouth again.

n

nHe asked, “Lorne, then tell me, what is the true answer?”

n

nLorne recovered from his excitement and sat back in his chair.

n

n“Let me explain it to you. The correct answer to this question should be, there are five people left, but not a single one of the 500 sheep are left!”

n

nRosen said in disbelief, “Why is it this answer? Why don’t you tell us in detail?”

n

nLorne first gestured to everyone with his hand.

n

n“First of all, excluding the issue of the number of sheep, not a single sheep was left. There is no doubt about that.

n

n“Sheep are animals. They can foresee danger. Facing the earthquakes that occur every month that lasted for five months.

n

n“No matter how the herdsmen restrict and manage, they will never be able to control the fear of the sheep.

n

n“When the fifth month is over, the sheep will definitely run out. Just those few people will not be able to stop them. No one can stop the sheep that are about to go crazy from fear!”

n

nKyle and the others nodded in agreement. This was more in line with their thinking.

n

nOnly one person in the five-man team thought that all the sheep would exist, but after this analysis, he thought about it again and felt that it made sense.

n

nThen, Lorne knocked on the table with his fingers and said, “And the key is how many people can be left.

n

n“If I’m the King of Lolan, then there’s only one answer to this question for me.

n

n“That is, all five of them, one by one, would stand guard there!

n

n“Because the people sent out are my people, and they have accepted the orders of the King of Lolan. They have the blood of Lolan’s people on their hands!

n

n“Whether these people are soldiers or not, they will always obey the orders and obey the first rule of the king’s orders.

n

n“The king’s request was to let them graze on the grassland for a year. Even if the sheep ran out, as long as the order isn’t changed, they must stay for a year, no matter how many people are left dead or whether they all die on the grassland.

n

n“Because this is the loyalty and blood of the people of Lolan. This is the glory that belongs to Lolan. This is the sense of mission that they carry after accepting the request from the King of Lolan.

n

n“People are different from sheep. The priority of a sheep is to save their lives, while people have emotions and bonds to things.

n

n“Perhaps other factors such as the personal character of these people have to be taken into consideration, but as long as this request comes out from the King of Lolan, then, if the mission isn’t successful, they will never retreat!”

n

nAfter Lorne finished speaking, the entire tavern was extremely silent.

n

nKyle and the others were shocked. Their hearts were beating non-stop.

n

nThey were excited. Lorne’s words made their blood boil in excitement.

n

nThe courage of the people of Lolan, the glory of the people of Lolan, and the responsibility of serving the king.

n

nIf the King did not change his order, they would not back down even if they died. This was the reason why the remaining five people would be all there.

n

nNot to mention the others, even King Kyle himself, who was the King of Lolan, was shocked speechless for a long time when he heard such an answer.

n

nSuch thought-provoking and shocking words were enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life!

n

nKyle could not help but feel a little guilty. He felt that he seemed to be somewhat unqualified to be king.

n

nAs a dignified king, even this young man in front of him could think through the problem thoroughly, but he himself did not have any consciousness.

n

nAs the king of a country, he was the first to ignore the loyalty and glory of his people in Lolan. He ignored the characteristics of the people of Lolan.

n

nOn the other hand, Lorne, this young man, showed the potential of his people to the fullest.

n

nAs a king, it will forever be a blessing for him to know such a young man.

n

nHe had met such a talented person in his life, and he had no regrets in his life to be able to meet such a confidant.

n

nThe act of leaving the palace in disguise not long ago and entering the tavern in his free time was something worth remembering for his entire life.

n

nThis was the beginning of him witnessing a legendary human being born.

n

nKyle immediately slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly. With a rather heroic feeling, he filled his glass with wine and then filled Lorne’s glass as well.

n

n“Brother, just based on what you said today, it’s worth it for me to drink this big glass of wine to my heart’s content.

n

n“I’ll toast you. It’s for the glory of the people of Lolan and their loyalty to the empire.

n

n“I’ll drink this wine as a toast to that, here ye!”

n

nAs he spoke, Kyle gulped down the entire glass of wine. He was in high spirits.

n

nAfter Kyle, Rosen, and the others finally woke up from their shock and dullness.

n

nThey all followed suit, stood up and poured themselves a full glass of wine, and then emptied their glasses of wine to the end.
