Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Lorne heard about money, the corners of his mouth imdiately curled up into a smile. Then, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
With that, he returned to his normal smile and pointed at a table.
“Please sit here while the food is being prepared.”
Then, he ran to the kitchen and worked on the als. After a while, he ca out with a few plates of very exquisite dishes.
Lorne would definitely not play any petty tricks when it ca to serving food. After all, he was scheming for the big picture.
Therefore, the dishes that were served were indeed top-notch delicacies, and they could be considered to have displayed the best culinary skills. Therefore, the mont they were placed on the table, the three Fusang people were imdiately stunned.
A few seconds later, soone heard the sound of swallowing saliva. They could not care less about etiquette.
The three of them picked up their cutleries and swept up most of the food on the table.
Lorne even served them so good wine. The three of them ate while exclaiming that the food was exceptionally delicious.
After wiping out almost all the food on the table, their movents finally slowed down. After putting down the cutlery, one of the n could not help but bow to Lorne.
“Boss, your cooking is really good. This is the most delicious al I’ve ever had in Lolan.
“Excuse my manners, but the food in Fusang can’t compare to this.
“I didn’t expect that the three of us would be so lucky to be able to taste your cooking while wandering around!”
After all, Fusang was only a small country. Other than rare tal resources, the other resources were very ordinary, and could even be said to be very frugal.
As for the daily farming, vegetables, fruits, and at, they were all relatively scarce. Compared to the vast Lolan region like the Lolan Empire, they appeared very simple and crude.
Usually, when they ate the food served by the station, they would exclaim that it was delicious. However, when they compared it to Lorne’s cooking, nothing beats his.
Lorne still had a rather humble look on his face. Then, he smiled calmly and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. I run a tavern business. Isn’t this what I should do?”
As he spoke, he took the opportunity to walk out of the counter and then ca to the table of the three Fusang people.
“May I ask, what is the purpose of the diplomatic mission that the three of you coming to my Lolan Empire this ti?
“Could it be that you’re submitting the national letter and recognizing my Lolan Empire as the suzerain?”
This topic was not a secret. Usually, if it was delayed for a few days, it would be known by the entire Lolan people. Therefore, the three of them did not intend to hide anything.
The Fusang person who spoke just now imdiately shook his head.
“Long before your country was founded, I, Fusang, had already submitted the national certificate. The Lolan Empire has long been the suzerain of Fusang.
“This ti, we ca to the Lolan Empire under the orders of our country’s emperor. We ca to learn from the advanced and excellent aspects of the Lolan Empire.
“This ti, we sent a total of over two hundred people. We traveled by land and water. After a long ti, we finally arrived at Lolan City.
“The three of us were sent here to learn from the advanced parts of the Lolan Empire. We are the ambassador and deputy ambassador of the diplomats.
“You can call Santako Canshang. This is my deputy pharmacist, Inagumi Santo. That one over there is the other deputy ambassador, Hishiro Lee.”
Hearing the nas of these three people, especially the ambassador of the diplomats in front of him, Lorne could not help but want to cover his head.
The nas of the Fusang people were really difficult to pronounce. The two deputies beside them were still alright, but the na Inagumi would be hard to rember.
However, Lorne was still a little shocked by the identities of these people. They were the main envoys who were also the first and second leaders of the diplomats.
He did not expect to be lucky enough to et the head of the Fusang diplomats.
This way, he would have more confidence in executing his plan. If it was soone of a high or low status, it would be useless for him to fool them.
On the contrary, he wanted such a leader who could directly influence the entire diplomatic corps. If he fooled just one of them, the future effect would be great.
Therefore, the smile on Lorne’s face beca even more enthusiastic as he patted Inugami’s shoulder.
“In that case, I’ll address you as sir Canshang, as well as sir Lee and sir Santo. It’s a form of etiquette in our Lolan Empire to address each other by surna, to show mutual respect.”
The three n imdiately looked as if they understood.
“Alright, but I don’t know what your surna is, boss. We should also address you by surna.”
After Lorne introduced his surna, the three leaders of the emissary team imdiately stood up and saluted Lorne together.
“Then we will address you as sir Lorne!”
Lorne nodded in satisfaction. The first step of the plan had been successfully completed, and he had successfully established a relationship with these three people. The next steps were slowly being crafted as he spoke.
After Lorne greeted the three people successively, he conveniently sat on the other side of the table.
“Your country is on a diplomatic mission to our Lolan Empire to learn excellent and advanced things. That’s really the wisest decision. After all, our Lolan Empire has many brilliant things.
“It’s enough to show that your country’s emperor is a person with foresight and insight.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three Fusang people imdiately beca spirited.
“Do you know about Emperor Shu Ming?”
Lorne nodded, and then said with a slightly mysterious and puzzled tone, “I’ve always been slightly interested in understanding worldly things, and I know that your country’s current generation has passed down to Emperor Shu Ming.”
The three of them were imdiately shocked. They did not expect that there would still be people willing to learn about the history and inheritance of a small foreign country like Fusang, which was many miles away from the Lolan Empire.
Inagumi imdiately grabbed Lorne’s arm heavily. Then, his face was full of gratitude, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
“I didn’t expect you to be a friend of Fusang. Those who are willing to learn about the history and inheritance of Fusang are the best of people.
“We are very willing to see you as a best friend now. If the emperor knew, he would probably be delighted!”
Lorne had long expected the three Fusang people to have such a reaction.
The Fusang people’s arrogance and inferiority complex always changed inadvertently. The Lolan Empire had always looked down on Fusang, and even they themselves knew that.
Therefore, Lorne was now doing the opposite. Instead, he had revealed the na of the Fusang Emperor, which of course would make the leaders of the three envoys extrely moved.
Therefore, the second step of Lorne’s grand strategic plan was completed — to beco the closest friends of the few Fusang envoys here!
