Chapter 63: That’s It?

Rosen had suffered a lot from this whole situation. Not to mention, just based on his identity, he could not even answer these barbarian questions. He felt extremely embarrassed by it.

It was just as Kyle had said, although others may not know, if he himself could not answer the second question, then he might as well go back to his hometown and herd cattle.

As soon as Rosen agreed, Andrew and the others immediately followed.

“I agree too!”

“I agree!”

Soon, everyone who had reached an agreement on this matter began a heated discussion in the study.

An hour later, Kyle lay on the chair with soulless eyes. He was exhausted.

Kyle indicated that he had given up his efforts in pursuing the answer. The answers that he obtained by relying on himself and the others were indeed unreliable.

There were a total of five people present, and he had five different kinds of answers.

Everyone insisted on their own views, saying that they were right and did not agree with the solution of others.

This was not the most important thing, however. The most important thing was that everyone would come up with their own reasons, and they were not those random answers that were made up of nonsense.

Therefore, the atmosphere turned tense and awkward. What everyone said made sense. So, who should they listen to?

Moreover, whose answer was the right one, and whose was the wrong one?

By carrying on with this, it was estimated that no one would be able to come up with a unified answer in five or even ten days.

When the time for the second question was up, and a few of them still could not agree on one single answer. Then, they would just be the ones who would be embarrassed.

When Kyle came back to his senses, the few people in the study were still arguing over whose wrong or right.

“In my opinion, the answer is definitely five people and 500 sheep. There is a certain range for care in a pasture. If there is an earthquake, they can be moved to the other side of the pasture.”

“What kind of answer was that? It’s simply nonsense. Could it be that the earthquake’s range is not even as large as your pasture?”

In short, the study room was filled with all kinds of arguments. The few important ministers in the palace were now arguing so much that their faces were red and veins popped out of their heads. They were in a heated argument.

When Kyle slammed the table heavily, the few ministers finally stopped and shifted their gazes to the king.

Kyle massaged his temples as a slight headache started to form.

“Stop arguing, all of you, stop it. I see that all of you are pretty much the same as each other. There is no result even if you all argue about it.

“It seems that I would have to take back what I said. I should go to the tavern to find Lorne. I can only let him choose the final answer.”

The other ministers immediately fell silent. Although they wanted to rely on their own answers to prove their ability as ministers, the facts proved that all of this was in vain, and they could not come up with a unified answer.

Rosen curled his lips. In the end, he spread his hands helplessly and said, “Just listen to His Majesty. I really can’t reach an agreement with the three of them.”

Andrew, Abner, and the others also had helpless expressions on their faces.

Kyle let out a long sigh. With that, he could only order his men to prepare the carriage. Then, the five-man team slipped out of the palace once again.

When they arrived at the small tavern in Silk Street, they found that Lorne was loosening the soil in a few potted plants.

It seemed that this young boss was fiddling with some strange things again. However, for Kyle and the others, they could not be bothered to find out what Lorne was currently occupied with at the moment.

Kyle reached the entrance the fastest. He did not care about his image at all. He directly ran in from outside the door with a whoosh.

“Brother, did you know that there’s a second problem in the Spartan Kingdom?!

“The problem this time seems to be more challenging than the previous one. It requires more thought!”

Kyle’s voice was loud, and his volume was also very high. Lorne was immediately shocked.

The small shovel in his hand directly hit the root of a plant, causing it to wither in an instant.

“…”

“…”

Lorne was furious.

“Charles, you came here to talk nonsense again??! It was not easy to pot the flowers and plants, you ruined this one!

“I already said that the problems from the Spartan Kingdom are just small matters. Don’t make such a fuss over these stupid problems and panic over such things.”

Kyle could not help but scratch his head and spoke with some embarrassment, “Lorne, don’t blame me. I just heard about this problem, so I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“What kind of flowers and plants are these? Just tell me. I promise to buy you a pot of exactly the same one tomorrow!”

Lorne directly rolled his eyes at Kyle. Then, he said to Rosen and the others who had rushed over one after another, “Alright, alright. Come in and have a seat.”

As he spoke, he took out the hot pot table and some equipment that everyone had seen around previously.

After a period of time, the soup that was placed in the pot gradually began to emit steam.

Lorne commanded the crowd and placed all sorts of dishes into the pot. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and asked what he was quietly curious about.

“What other questions did the Spartans raise this time? Tell me about it.”

Kyle and the other ministers immediately perked up. This was what they had been waiting for.

Kyle was the first to speak in a hurried tone. “This time, the question was raised by the Spartans.

“They’re talking about sending 10 people to graze 1,000 sheep on a meadow. It’s just that earthquakes often occur on this meadow.

“In the first month, one person and 100 sheep died.

“In the second month, it was another person and 100 sheep.

“If you ask the same question, after five months, how many people and sheep are left on this grassland?”

As soon as Kyle finished speaking, the few of them looked at Lorne expectantly, ready to listen to this young man’s opinion.

Then, Lorne, who welcomed them in kindly, suddenly slammed the table.

There was a loud bang, which gave everyone a fright.

Lorn immediately stood up and said with a somewhat annoyed expression.

“That’s it? You have the nerve to ask such a stupid question. How could you even consider that a question?

“Are you serious? Because of this silly question, you caused me to accidentally shovel a pot of flowers to death.

“I’ll tell you the truth. I don’t even need to use my brain to think about such a problem. I can even think about it with my toes.

“Those barbarians from the Spartan Kingdom are truly insensible. Are they really treating this as some kind of profound problem and using this as a chance to talk nonsense everywhere.

“What’s wrong? Are you insensible too? You even came to me and jumped around like you were running on hot rocks. You’re making me think that the envoys from the Spartan Kingdom have some kind of peerless problem.

“You’re too weak. You’re all really too weak. I’m too embarrassed to even tell you the solution.. I won’t even need two breaths to think of an answer to such a question!”
