The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1166

[Chapter 1166 Three Requests]

After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian smiled again and spoke to the emperor, because Lin Tian was extremely confident that this method would definitely satisfy the emperor.

“I have demonstrated the method I mentioned to your majesty before, and your majesty has also seen its power before.”

Lin Tian spoke to the emperor again, and at the same time, Lin Tian took out the remaining gunpowder and handed it to the emperor.

When the emperor first heard what Lin Tian said, his face was full of curiosity, but when he saw Lin Tian took out the gunpowder, the emperor already understood what Lin Tian meant.

“My dear Lin, didn’t you say before that you didn’t want to tell me the method of making gunpowder, and even didn’t want me to use it in military affairs? Why are you willing now?”

The emperor seemed to think of the reason why Lin Tian refused to give him the formula for gunpowder before, so he asked Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, although I said before that I don’t want to tell you the formula of gunpowder now, I didn’t say that I can’t tell you later. And I don’t think I said before that gunpowder can’t be used in war. I just said that it would make the people in the world suffer.

But now we are just using gunpowder to protect ourselves, which doesn’t seem to be the reason for my refusal before.”

After hearing the emperor’s doubts, Lin Tian spoke to the emperor. When

the emperor heard what Lin Tian said, his face showed excitement again, because it also meant that Lin Tian had agreed to use gunpowder.

Although it is unknown what kind of request Lin Tian will make now, since Lin Tian has agreed to his request, he will definitely let Yan State have absolute self-protection means.

“Your Majesty, don’t get excited first. Have you forgotten what I asked before? If you can’t agree to my request, I’m afraid I still can’t use gunpowder in war.”

Seeing the emperor’s excitement, Lin Tian was about to pour a basin of cold water on Huang Shang, so he spoke again to remind the emperor.

“Then what kind of request does Lord Lin want to make? Now that Lord Lin has agreed to use gunpowder in the war, no matter what request Lord Lin makes, I will agree to it.”

After hearing Lin Tian’s words, the emperor did not suppress his excitement and spoke directly to Lin Tian, obviously without thinking through his brain.

“My request is also very simple. As long as Your Majesty can agree, I will definitely be able to make Yan State have absolute self-defense capabilities. Your Majesty only needs to agree to my three requests.

First, no one can ask me about the formula and production method of gunpowder, not even Your Majesty.

Second, fire cannot be used in wars against other countries.

Third, I need Your Majesty to send troops to help me obtain the raw materials for making gunpowder.

These are my three requests. As long as Your Majesty can agree to me, I have absolute confidence that Yan State can have absolute self-defense capabilities.”

Lin Tian said to the emperor, and also stated his three requests. Then Lin Tian handed the decision-making power to the emperor, and stared at the emperor’s eyes, as if he wanted to see through the emperor’s mind.

After hearing Lin Tian’s three requests, the emperor also showed a thoughtful look, because the emperor didn’t understand why Lin Tian made such a request. He thought Lin Tian needed some reward. The

first request made by Lin Tian made the emperor very confused. Although he had a little idea, the emperor could only think that Lin Tian didn’t want anyone to know the method of making gunpowder.

But the emperor didn’t know why Lin Tian did this, but since Lin Tian had already said it, he had to agree to Lin Tian’s request.

Although the second request on the first day made the emperor feel even more confused, the emperor thought of Lin Tian’s previous explanation to himself and understood what Lin Tian meant.

Although Lin Tian refused to use gunpowder against other countries in the war, that was only in terms of attack. However, if it came to the time of endangering the State of Yan, Lin Tian would not refuse to use gunpowder.

“Lord Lin, can you tell me now what raw materials for gunpowder you need me to send troops to help you find?”

The emperor thought of Lin Tian’s third request, so he asked Lin Tian.

“I don’t know the name of this material here. I only know it is a kind of ore. I asked my two guards to find some of this ore after a lot of hard work.”

After hearing the emperor’s question, Lin Tian said to the emperor.

“Oh? Is this ore extremely difficult to find? Or is it particularly rare?”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor showed a puzzled expression on his face, so he could only ask Lin Tian again.

“Your Majesty, this ore is not particularly rare. It is not difficult to find it. However, if you want to find it with the current technological level of Yan State, it will probably be a big project. This ore is generally found at the foot of a volcano, or it is produced after a volcanic eruption.

If your Majesty wants to ask me why I need you to send soldiers to help me find it, I actually have other purposes, that is, I want your Majesty to help me achieve a monopoly on this ore.

I think only your Majesty has this ability in Yan State, so this is my third request. As long as your Majesty can agree to me, then I will definitely be able to do what I promised to do before.”

After hearing what the emperor said, Lin Tian also spoke to the emperor, and at the same time said something that he didn’t want the emperor to know, but the reason why Lin Tian decided to tell the emperor was that if he didn’t say it tomorrow, the emperor would not even think that Lin Tian wanted to monopolize this ore.

“This… It’s not that I don’t want to send soldiers to help you find it, but you want me to help you monopolize this ore, which is really a bit difficult. Not to mention that these ores have other uses, even if the people know it, they will definitely not be willing.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the emperor showed an embarrassment on his face, and he told Lin Tian the reason.

“Your Majesty, you can rest assured. This kind of ore has no use at all in the eyes of other people. If there is any use, it is just for paving the way. When this kind of ore meets water, a certain reaction will occur, and a certain amount of heat will be generated on it.”
