I'll Come Clean! I Am The King Of Lolan!-Chapter 87 - Lorne’s Explanation.

Lorne’s interest was piqued this time. He was rather impressed by this person.

Apart from his outstanding willpower, he had crossed countless mountains and dangerous paths to go to India to exchange and learn knowledge.

Another point was that this person had learned from others and enriched Lolan’s culture. It was very different from traveling east.

This monk could be considered as someone who had made great contributions to the accumulation and expansion of Lolan’s culture.

“Why did he come to Lolan for? Is he planning to ask the King of Lolan to open a place to practice and promote Buddhism?” At this point, Lorne paused for a moment to think, and then he hurriedly continued, “Did he come to Lolan to ask the king for permission to go back to India to learn more about Buddhism?”

As soon as Lorne finished speaking, Kyle was shocked.

He looked at Lorne in surprise as he replied, “Lorne, how did you know about this? I only heard all this from others.”

Lorne casually waved his hand and explained, “Anyone who has some understanding of this man will know of his experiences over the years

“He has been to many famous Buddhist locations in the world. Everyone knows that he likes to share with people about Buddhism.

“In Lolan, his cultivation of Buddhism can be considered as first-class. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

“In that case, he can only seek the source of Buddhism and go to India to learn more about it.

“It’s been a while since he came back to Lolan. This time, he probably returned to Lolan for this reason.”

As soon as Lorne finished speaking, Kyle could not help but clap his hands.

“Lorne, you’re really amazing. The cause and effect are exactly the same as what you’ve deduced.

“If it wasn’t for Xuan Moster arriving yesterday, I would’ve thought that you asked that man about it himself.

“It’s impossible to describe how amazing you are, but here you are!”

Kyle was being very generous with his compliments. He took every opportunity to praise Lorne.

Lorne was not one to feel shy, so he accepted everything with open arms.

As Kyle was going to go for more, Lorne patted him on the shoulder. “Old friend, let’s take a break. There’s only so much you can speak of me.”

“After all, there’s no need to be surprised, we’ve known each other for so long.”

Kyle scratched his head, then chuckled.

“Lorne, this matter was exactly how you deduced it. Moster wants to ask the current king to allow him to travel thousands of miles to India to learn Mahayana Buddhism. Do you think the current king will agree to his request?”

Lorne nodded without thinking.

“Yeah, it’s not a bad thing. Why wouldn’t he agree?”

Kyle nodded secretly. Lorne’s words were exactly the same as what he was thinking.

However, Kyle deliberately asked something from a different perspective, “But… You said that the current king doesn’t believe in religion, so that means he doesn’t like this concept. On the other hand, Moster wants to seek Mahayana Buddhism and promote Buddhism after he returns. By then, wouldn’t Buddhism be on par in terms of loyalty with the King of Lolan? Why would you think the King of Lolan would agree to this?”

Lorne glanced at Kyle disdainfully.

“Looks like you’re still short-sighted and a little too narrow-minded, old friend. Other than the fact that you think I’m amazing, you’re really bad at seeing everything else.”

Kyle did not feel ridiculed. His heart had already been trained to be quite strong for these types of attacks.

Moreover, he had deliberately thrown out this negative question expecting to be jabbed back. Therefore, Kyle laughed shamelessly and quickly asked, “Then tell me, since I, as the King of Lolan, don’t like Buddhism, why would I agree to Xuan Moster’s request?”

Lorne spread his hands and finally explained, “Buddhism is ultimately a part of the Lolan culture.

“The Buddhism that Xuan Moster is planning on promoting has evolved and changed over a long period of time.

“This is also a doctrine that can adapt to the current situation in Lolan’s world.

“At the very least, in Buddhism, it is important to be kind to others and have good thoughts in your heart. Just this alone is enough for the people who advocate learning Buddhism to maintain good thoughts in their hearts at all times.

“In this way, the number of people with evil thoughts among the people will be reduced, and the burden on the palace will also be reduced.

“You and I may not believe it, but in general, there are still some benefits for the people in the palace.”

After saying this, Kyle could not help but ponder for a while.

To be honest, he had also briefly browsed through some of the Buddhist concepts. There were indeed quite a number of views similar to how he envisioned his empire to be. Strictly speaking, it was very beneficial for the palace to rule the world better if everyone was a little bit kinder to others.

Kyle could not help but ponder over it. However, after thinking for a while, he still had some doubts, “But I heard that Buddhist temples do not pay taxes to the palace. If a large number of people become monks to learn Buddhism in order to avoid paying taxes, wouldn’t it be a great harm to the palace?”

Lorne first nodded, then shook his head.

“You’re only half right. A large number of people participating in the Buddhism culture has indeed caused the palace to lose a large amount of taxes.

“But there’s a limit to everything. By following Buddhism, you would learn how to be a better person. There’s also a limit to how much one can learn and how much one would act on it.

“There can be Buddhism, but it should be restrained a little in terms of other aspects. There should be a fine line for that.”

After Kyle heard this, he could not help but nod repeatedly. “Well said, Lorne. That makes sense!

“Everything can be controlled, but you can’t be the only one that does it. You must have a good balance of both.”

Kyle already had some ideas in his mind. After he finishes dealing with this industry of crude salt refining, he would go back and support the Buddhism culture.

He did not need to overly agree to it. It would be fine as long as it could act as a little check and balance. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for it to monopolize the world.

As Kyle was thinking about all sorts of plans, Lorne suddenly spoke again.

“It’s a pity that the king can’t hear what I’m saying. Otherwise, I would’ve definitely given him a different suggestion. I would’ve asked him to make the arrangements for Xuan Moster to go to India as soon as possible.”
