The boy bowed slightly and said in a loud voice:


    "Mr. Reynolds, my name is bum Maxwell, and my brother is Krupp Maxwell."


    Garridge stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocked bum behind him and said with a smile:


    "Mr. Renault, please allow me to say sorry on behalf of master bum. Master bum is playful. He just wanted to see you, but he didn''t mean to offend you."


    Then Gaelic turned back and winked at bum, signaling him to stop talking.


    As if he didn''t see it, he pointed to the magic air gun in the arms of an island guard and asked excitedly:


    "Mr. Reynolds, is this a magic weapon? Do your soldiers rely on them to defeat pirates? "


    Without waiting for Renault''s reply, he said in a affirmative:


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


    At this point, there was a trace of exclamation and a trace of distress in his eyes:


    "this is the most complex Rune structure I have ever seen, which is more complex than the Rune of magic cannon, but I can''t understand their specific functions..."


    Renault was really interested in this young man named "bum". He interrupted bum''s chatter and asked with a smile:


    "bum, have you ever studied Rune literature? Can you make runes? "


    Bum began to talk again:


    "of course, the real secret of why our Maxwell family can produce high-quality linen lies in Rune literature. Every family member must learn Rune literature. Only those who are proficient in Rune literature can inherit the title of count Maxwell."


    "Mr. Renault, do you know that our family has a motto," wisdom and technology are the most precious wealth. "This sentence comes from Mrs. Jennie Maxwell, a member of the family who first used Rune literature to transform the spinning frame. In fact, it means Rune literature and a series of technologies derived from Rune literature."


    "It is thanks to the family''s dedication to Rune technology that we can persist in improving the spinning and weaving machines and constantly improve their work efficiency, thus producing the most advanced spinning and weaving machines in the world and accumulating great wealth for the family."


    One side of the Guy Ritchie worried looking at bum, his heart extremely regret, promised to take bum aboard the Odin, he wanted to cover bum''s mouth, stop bum continue to say.


    But geridge knew that any obstruction at this time would only make Mr. Renault feel unhappy, make trouble for his party and implicate master bum.


    The voice of the young man suddenly became excited:


    "the Maxwell family has always 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 let human civilization continue."


    He looked at Renault expectantly and asked eagerly:


    "Mr. Renault, do you agree with this view?"


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


    He knew that the young man was quite right.


    This teenager is probably one of the few people in the whole human world who really realize the importance of Rune technology.


    All the human nobles Renault had contacted before were good at intrigue. In terms of interests, everyone fought bravely and refused to take any loss, but no one was committed to the research and development of technology.


    Only this Maxwell family can really see the direction of human progress, which coincides with him.


    The only difference is that the use of Rune by the Maxwell family is very superficial, and the use developed is also very few. They have pushed the rune technology to a very deep level.


    However, there is one thing that makes him quite confused. A young man he ran into on the vast sea happens to be a real man of insight. Is this a coincidence?


    Renault gazed at bum, guessing in his heart.


    There is no doubt that this young man is a smart man. Is it possible that bum''s behavior at the moment is a clever disguise?


    After all, there are so many magic machines on the Odin that anyone who knows runes can see that he attaches great importance to runes. When bum talks about Rune literature, he may just want to vote for me.


    Or is this little guy a real fan of Rune literature, an alien version of technocratic? Is his expression at this time the expression of real emotion?


    Or both?


    Despite the heart of bum, but Renault still did not answer bum''s question.


    He didn''t know whether the young man was the most prolific "human spirit" among the nobles, 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 topic again:


    "what do you mean by" ticket "


    The young man was stunned when he heard the speech. There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes and the enthusiasm on his face dissipated. It seemed that he was not happy with Renault''s attitude of "always thinking about him".


    However, he was very clear about his own situation and knew that he had to answer each other''s questions. Otherwise, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat, so the young man replied glumly:


    "my brother Krupp has always believed that if this trend continues, in three years at most, the glow continent will fall completely, and within 20 years, Xinghai continent will be very difficult to defend Even if the black bastard is a pig, he can make an excellent Navy in 20 years.... "


    "Krupp also said that the fool can only see the immediate interests, 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 find a way out as soon as possible. Krupp thinks that the way out is in the ocean..."


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


    Ah, it''s rare to meet a confidant


    The young man looked at Renault and said with a shriveled mouth:


    "some time ago, Krupp told me that there was a chamber of Commerce selling iron pots. They were very powerful. They mastered very good metal smelting technology, and they could also make sailboats that could sail in the storm season. This was a great feat. No one had ever done it in history, but they did it."


    Speaking of this, the young man unconsciously glanced at the sailboat under his feet and continued:


    "Krupp knew that this chamber of Commerce occupied an island in the ocean, and he very much wanted to make friends with this chamber of Commerce, so he specially arranged the family''s staff to go to starfish city to inquire about their news..."


    boy looked up as like as two peas at the Renault, and shouted, "


    ," I also know that the chamber of commerce which Krupp said is your Chamber of Commerce, your sailboat is exactly the same as that of Krupp, so when I saw you pirate, garret let us take the opportunity to leave, and I ordered him to stay here, and no place to go. "


    On hearing this, garridge gave an embarrassed smile.


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


    "as soon as I saw this weapon just now, I knew that your rune technology is very powerful, much better than our family. You must have known that rune is the future of mankind, so you spent so much time studying Rune technology, right?"


    "Before, I always thought Krupp was the smartest person, but Krupp said you were the smartest person. He also said that you thought of everything he thought of, and you did everything he didn''t do."


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


    "Krupp wants to make friends with you very much, and I also want to make friends with you very much, so I am willing to give you all these ships in exchange for your friendship. I want to go to your island to have a look. That''s what I mean by" ticket ". Krupp will certainly agree with me."


    The young man raised his head, his voice became more and more indignant and deeply aggrieved:


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