The boy bowed slightly and said loudly:

"Your Excellency Renault, my name is Boom Maxwell, and my brother is Krupp Maxwell."

Gerich took a step forward, blocking Boum behind him intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Renault, please allow me to say sorry on behalf of Master Boom. Master Boom is more playful. The purpose of his disguise is just to see you, but he definitely doesn't mean any offense. "

Then Gerich looked back and winked at Boum, motioning him not to speak any more.

But Boom, as if he hadn't seen it, pointed to the magic air gun held in the arms of an island guard, and asked enthusiastically:

"Lord Renault, are these magic weapons? Do your soldiers rely on them to defeat pirates?"

Without waiting for Renault to answer, he said affirmatively:

"This must be a magic weapon, because I saw the rune. This weapon is inlaid with a magic silver plate with many runes carved on the surface. I seem to see the shadow of the rune [rotating], the metal tube There are also two magic silver cylinders with runes carved on them..."

At this point, there was a hint of wonder in the young man's eyes, mixed with a hint of distress:

"This is the most complicated rune structure I have ever seen. It is more complicated than the rune of the Magic Cannon. Unfortunately, I don't understand their specific functions..."

Only then did Renault really become interested in the boy named "Boom". He interrupted Boom's chatter and asked with a smile:

"Boom, have you studied runes? Can you make runes?"

Boom began to talk again:

"Of course, the real secret of our Maxwell family's ability to produce high-quality linens lies in Runic Literature. Every member of the family must learn Runic Literature. Only members who are proficient in Runic Literature can inherit the title of Earl Maxwell."

"Your Excellency Renault, did you know that our family has a group motto,'Wisdom and technology are the most precious wealth'. This sentence comes from the family member who used Fu Wenxue to transform the spinning machine for the first time, Mrs. Jeanne Maxwell, In fact, what it means is Fu literature and a series of technologies derived from Fu literature."

"It is thanks to the family's dedication to rune technology that we can persist in improving spinning machines and looms, continuously improving their work efficiency, and thus creating the world's most advanced spinning machines and The loom has accumulated huge wealth for the family."

Gairich looked at Boum worriedly. He regretted that he had promised to take Boum aboard the Odin. He wanted to cover Boum's mouth to prevent Boum from continuing to speak.

But Gallic knew that any blocking at this time would only make this Lord Renault feel unhappy, cause trouble for himself and his party, and hurt Master Boom.

The boy's voice suddenly became agitated:

"The Maxwell family has always firmly believed that the future of mankind lies in rune literature. Only by using rune technology to transform the world and create a world dominated by rune technology can mankind defeat the black orcs and allow human civilization to continue."

He looked at Renault expectantly and asked eagerly:

"Your Excellency Renault, do you agree with this view?"

Renault's face remained silent, but his heart was shocked.

He knew that the boy was very correct.

This teenage boy is probably one of the few humans in the entire human world who truly realizes the importance of rune technology.

All the human nobles that Renault had contacted before were all masters of intrigue. In terms of interests, everyone was striving to be the first, and they were not willing to suffer at all losses, but no one was committed to the research and development of technology.

Only this Maxwell family really saw the direction of human progress, which coincided with him.

The only difference is that the Maxwell family's use of runes is still very superficial, and the uses developed are also pitiful, and they have advanced the rune technology to a very deep level.

However, one thing made him quite puzzled. The young man he met in the vast ocean happened to be a real man of insight. Isn't this a bit of a coincidence?

Renault stared at Boum, guessing inwardly.

There is no doubt that this young man is a clever man. So, could Boum's behavior at the moment be a clever disguise?

After all, there are so many magical machines on the Odin. Anyone who knows runes can see that they value runes. Boom talks a lot about runes, and maybe he just wants to do my favor.

Or is this little guy a true lover of runes, a technical madman in a different world? His performance at this time is the expression of true emotions?

Or is it both?

Despite the admiration of Boum in his heart, Renault still did not answer Boum's question.

He didn't know whether this young man was the most prolific "human spirit" among the nobles, and he used some excuses to make tactics, so he didn't intend to reveal too much information, and he didn't want to be led by the nose by the young man.

Renault changed the subject again:

"What do you mean by ‘ferry tickets’ before?"

The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and the enthusiasm on his face disappeared. It seemed that he was very unhappy with Renault's attitude of "always care about him".

However, he knows his situation very well, and he also understands that he must answer the other's questions, otherwise there will be absolutely no good fruit, so the boy still replied unhappy:

"My brother Krupp has always believed that if this trend continues, the Glow Continent will fall completely in another three years at most. Within 20 years, the Xinghai Continent will probably be difficult to hold. Even if the black hybrid is a pig, An excellent navy can be built in 20 years..."

"Krupp also said that fools can only see the immediate benefits, but the wise can see the long-term future. Since the mainland will fall sooner or later, for the sake of the survival of the family, we should seek an early retreat. Krupp feels that the retreat is In the ocean..."

Renault blinked and remembered the name "Krupp" firmly in his mind, because this guy's opinion was exactly the same as his own.

Hey, it's rare to meet a confidant...

The boy glanced at Renault, and said with a sullen mouth:

"Some time ago, Krupp told me that there is a trade association that sells iron pots. They are very powerful. They have mastered very sophisticated metal smelting technology. They can also make sailboats that can sail in the stormy season. This is very remarkable. No one in history has done this feat, but they have done it."

Having said this, the boy glanced at the sailboat under his feet unconsciously, and continued:

"Krupp knows that this chamber of commerce occupies an island in the ocean, and he hopes to make friends with this chamber of commerce, so he specially arranged for the family's staff to go to Starfish City to inquire about them..."

The boy raised his head, looked at Renault in a daze, and said loudly:

"I also know that the chamber of commerce Krupp is talking about is your chamber of commerce. Your sailboat is exactly the same as Krupp said. So when I saw you fighting pirates, Gerich asked us to leave and I ordered him to stay. Here, you are not allowed to go anywhere..."

Hearing this, Gerich smiled awkwardly.

The boy pointed to a magic air gun again, and his voice became louder and louder:

"As soon as I saw this weapon, I understood that your rune technology is very, very powerful. It is much stronger than our family. You must have known that rune literature is the future of mankind. That's why you spent that time. Study rune technology for a long time, right?"

"I used to think that Krupp was the smartest person, but Krupp said that you are the smartest person. He also said that you thought of everything he thought of himself, but he didn't do it himself. You have done everything."

"I didn't believe Krupp's words at first, but now I see this ship with my own eyes, see you fight pirates, and see this weapon. I think Krupp's idea is right. You are so much better than him. too much."

"Krupp wants to make friends with you, and I want to make friends with you, so I am willing to give you all these ships to exchange your friendship and want to go to your island to have a look. This is what I said. Krupp will definitely agree with my approach.”

The boy raised his head, his voice became more and more indignant, and also with deep grievances:

"What I said is true, without a lie, why don't you want to believe me?"
