Chapter 47: Are You Omnipotent, Lorne?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Kyle did not know why Lorne suddenly thought of buying and selling smuggled salt, but it was undoubtedly a decapitation.

Although the money came quickly, the law would not show mercy were he to be found out.

Kyle definitely did not want the young man in front of him to go down such a wrong path.

Perhaps it was better to say that he cherished the young man’s talent. After all, Lorne did have a rare talent in the world, an extraordinary ability, and a series of other advantages. More importantly, because after nearly two months of interaction, he and Lorne had become close friends.

Often addressing each other as brothers was not just on the surface, but there was really a meaning behind it.

At the very least, to the Lolan King, the young man in front of him was a rare friend to be treasured in his life. Rosen and the other elders in the palace could also be considered as his close friends. However, the problem was that ever since he became king, these elders in the palace had become a little more distant from him. In their interactions, their first duties were to be ministers and only friends or relatives as the second duty.

On the contrary, only Lorne was oblivious to his status.

That was why Lorne dared talk to him on an equal footing. He did not have any manners at all, and only treated him as his most ordinary friend.

Kyle enjoyed such a relationship, so he naturally loved the young man in front of him very much.

He did not want his friend to go down the wrong path. Otherwise, as the king, he would be in a dilemma.

That was why he said that if Lorne needed money, he should ask him directly. He would rather use a portion of the royal treasury to support his friend rather than watch him go down the wrong path.

Lorne was a little confused when he suddenly heard Kyle’s nervous explanation. However, after a short period of confusion, Lorne also understood Kyle’s meaning.

He could not help but pat Kyle’s shoulder and looked at Kyle’s nervous and sincere eyes.

“Old friend, you’re really a good brother. Based on what you said today, you’re like family. No matter how far I go in the future, I’ll never forget you, my best friend!”

When Kyle heard what Lorne said, he could not help but feel a little gratified despite being nervous and serious. Sure enough, Lorne understood his painstaking efforts. It was not in vain for him to persuade him.

“Lorne, since we are good brothers, then listen to me. This business of smuggling salt must never be mentioned again. Don’t even think about it.

“If you want to make a lot of money, you can go another path. I think this wine brewing is quite good. If you need it, I can pay you the startup money.”

In order to ensure that Lorne could change his mind, Kyle wanted him to directly abandon his previous idea. Now, if he was allowed to invest in wine brewing, he was willing to do it.

Lorne was actually a little touched by this gesture. His old friend was indeed a good person. He truly treated Lorne as a brother, and not just on the surface.

However, he still pulled Kyle’s arm and returned to the chair they had sat in before.

“Come, come, sit down and tell me. Listen to me tell your ideas.”

As he spoke, Lorne opened the handful of salt in his palm.

“The big deal I want to talk to you about today is indeed related to salt, but it is not the kind of smuggling of salt that you think it is.”

“If you want me to sell smuggled salt for you, I will definitely not do it. Don’t you understand that this is business that would ruin your life?”

“I know, what I want to talk about today is about another big deal.”

When Kyle heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

“You’re not planning on selling smuggled salt?”

Seeing Lorne nod his head, Kyle finally felt relieved.

But then he was puzzled again.

“If you’re not planning to sell smuggled salt, then what is it? Tell me quickly. Other than selling smuggled salt, I really can’t think of any other salt industry that can make a lot of money.”

Lorne placed the piece of salt he had brought before on the table, and then he grabbed a small pinch of white crystal powder.

“I can tell you clearly know that these two are both salts. However, look at the difference between them.”

Kyle recognized salt, but the small pinch of crystal powder made him a little dumbfounded.

This thing was also salt?

He had never heard of a place that produced salt like this. It was crystal clear, and it was in the form of extremely fine powder particles. Not to mention that it was impossible to find something like this, even the ones used in the palace were grains of salt. They were slightly more exquisite than these though.

However, even if they were used exclusively in the palace, the particles after hand-grinding were still much rougher than the white powder that Lorne took out. by comparing the appearance of the two, the lump of salt in the palace obviously lost out.

” Lorne, is this also salt? Can it really be eaten?”

Lorne nodded and finally said to Kyle, “If you don’t believe me, you can dip your finger in a little. You’ll naturally understand what I’m saying.”

Kyle did not suspect anything else. He directly used his finger to wipe the tip of one finger, then put it into his mouth and tasted it.

Salty!

It was indeed the taste of salt. However, this extremely ordinary salty taste was enough to shock Kyle.

This taste was even better than the salt he had had. Where did this salt come from?

Most importantly, this powder melted when it was put into his mouth. There were no grains of salt at all.

Although the salt used by the royal family in the past had been manually re-screened, there would still be a small amount of lump-shaped salt that did not get refined.

More than once, small pieces of salt pricked Kyle’s teeth, or large pieces of salt that did not dissolve, and Kyle had to drink a lot of water to wash it away.

If the food in the palace used this kind of salt to cook, the taste would definitely be improved by several levels. Not to mention in the palace, even for ordinary small nobles, or even some farmers who owned their own land, they would be more than willing to use this kind of salt.

“Boss, where did this kind of salt come from? Why is it completely different from the salt that’s produced in the country and along the coast?”

“Could it be that you have another skill?”

Lorne first shook his head, and then said to Kyle in a mumbling manner, “I call this kind of powder-like salt refined salt. I refined it from the salt-like coarsemess.”

Kyle’s eyes immediately widened.

‘The f*ck?! You’re even proficient in this kind of exquisite craftsmanship. What kind of three-headed six-armed monster are you? You know what others know, and you know what others don’t know.’

Similar to Rosen when he visited, the train of thoughts in his mind could not be stopped.

It would be fine if he knew how to brew wine. After all, it could be said to be a secret recipe passed down from his ancestors as a tavern owner.

But now, he even knew how to refine coarse salt, and he even came up with a kind of fine salt that had never appeared in the Lolan Empire before.

Could he really be the incarnation of a God?
