Rosen looked at Puye’s confused expression and could not help but feel a little proud of himself.
This young man dared come to our Lolan Empire to show off?
He simply did not know how to spell the word disgrace, that was all to it.
Poor Puye. Although he was considered a high-ranking official in the Spartan Kingdom, he was still only slightly proficient in the art of exerting power. That was why the people of that place were still somewhat simple. Therefore, he was confused about Rosen’s pretentious gesture.
After Rosen bowed to Puye and cupped his hands to the civil and military ministers present.
He asked a servant to bring over a plate. On the plate was a crawling black ant, which looked quite strong just by looking at its size. However, in terms of status, this ant seemed to just be a worker ant.
On the plate of another servant, everyone could tell that the other ant was the queen ant of the nest.
Rosen signaled to Puye first and then said in a clear voice to everyone present.
“Although the interior of the nine-holed exquisite bead winds and has countless paths, for ants, with their extraordinary senses, the only difficulty in passing through such winding holes is to climb slowly.
“As you can see, I tied the string to the ant’s body and casually sprinkled some cake crumbs in front of it.
“This ant will immediately carry the food and rush to the location of where the queen ant is.
“I just need to place the ant on one side of the bead, place the queen ant on the other side, and blow on it.
“In an hour, you will be able to see it climb out from the other side with your own eyes. By then, won’t the tied string on the ant pass through the bead effectively?”
From the moment Rosen made his preparations, Puye’s forehead had already started sweating.
When Rosen told him this method, his breathing became even more rapid.
He did not know if it would work, but it sounded pretty convincing. When Rosen was ready to personally verify the test, Puye opened his mouth.
“Your Excellency, there’s no need to test it. I’ve thought carefully about the method you mentioned. It’s indeed a feasible method.
“And it can be said that it’s the only method that can be used at the moment.”
As he spoke, Puye bowed respectfully to Kyle. His expression was abnormally respectful.
“Your Majesty, the King of the Lolan Empire, is indeed decisive. There are countless wise people in the Lolan Empire who are sincere and intellectual.
“Such a question has troubled the whole of our country for several months. The king of our country often thinks about it day and night, but he is still unable to come up with an answer.
“I never thought that the people from the Lolan Empire would be able to solve it so easily within three days. This is as expected of a decisive country.
“No wonder before I left, My Majesty insisted that I bring the problem here and he even claimed that there were people in the Lolan Empire who could solve it. It turns out that many things could be solved easily here.”
The look of shock on the face of the messenger from the Spartan Kingdom, Puye, turned into extreme respect for all the rulers and ministers of the Lolan Empire.
Kyle could not help but feel proud of his people.
Lorne is indeed a genius gifted from the heavens. The people of Spartan and the King of Spartan are nothing compared to his brother Lorne. They are just barbarians.
Of course, he still had a kind expression on his face. He even spoke modestly as a way to remain his composure.
“Puye, there’s no need to worry. Our Lolan Empire has a large population, while your country has a small population. Therefore, it’s quite normal for such a situation to occur.
“I see that your king can come up with such a problem. He is indeed a talented ruler. At a glance, he must be a well-read poet.”
After saying a few polite words, Kyle decided to seize the opportunity to launch his own form of attack.
“Envoy Puye, you said earlier that the king of your country has three questions. Since everyone is invested in this game, why don’t you tell us the second question and let us think about it too?”
Puye nodded. After removing the nine-holed exquisite bead, he stood up and said to everyone around him.
“This question is an assumption from our Spartan King. He has an answer to this question, but he just wants to know what answers Your Majesty can give him.”
Kyle waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
Puye cleared his throat and said in a clear voice for everyone to listen.
“Let’s say Your Majesty sends ten people to watch over a thousand sheep and grazes them on a meadow for a year.
“However, the ground in this area often shakes, and it is very easy for structures to collapse and for people and their sheep to be crushed to death. One person and a hundred sheep died in the first month after the people and sheep arrived, another person and a hundred sheep died in the second month.
“This cycle repeats itself. May I ask, Your Majesty, how many people and sheep are left in this grassland after five months?”
This was an analytical question. The meaning of the words was very simple, and Kyle and the others understood it immediately.
Of course, even if they understood it, it was impossible to give a direct answer on the spot. They would have to think it over carefully. After all, there was a high possibility that this type of written question contained a trap. They had to distinguish it well to not get distracted by the trap.
Moreover, to answer such a question, they must first seek a unified answer. It did not sound like a question that could be answered in one go.
Therefore, Kyle smiled and said, “I have already asked someone to record this question. After the banquet is over, I will ask the ministers in the palace to discuss it together.
“You don’t need to wait for three days for this question. In two days, I will send someone to invite you to the palace again and tell you the correct answer!”
Puye looked at Kyle’s self-confidence. He did not place much importance on such a difficult question at all. He did not know why, but he felt that the confidence of the King of the Lolan Empire was very strong for no reason.
It seemed that he could easily solve the problem without even looking at the problem.
Could this be the confidence of an empire?
Of course, he did not know that the source of Kyle’s confidence was from somewhere else.
After the banquet was over, the ambassador of the Spartan Kingdom returned to the residence that was arranged.
Kyle immediately gathered Rosen and the others in a hurry. They had just met in the study when Kyle’s words set the tone.
“This time, I’ve decided that we’ll rely on ourselves for the second problem. If we can avoid troubling Lorne, that would be the best option.

“We always trouble Lorne, even though he doesn’t know anything about it and outsiders don’t know about the situation at all.
“Also, I always feel guilty in my heart whenever we look for him. It seems that we, the ministers, are really brainless and can’t think of these questions.
“What do you think, my dear ministers?”
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Rosen clapped his hands.
“I completely agree with My Majesty’s decision!”
Rosen looked at Puye’s confused expression and could not help but feel a little proud of himself.
