Master of Thermodynamics

After venting his unhappiness, Boom gradually calmed down. Seeing that Renault's expression became more and more serious, he began to tremble a little, quietly moving his footsteps, trying to hide behind Gerich.

On the contrary, Gairich is better at observing words and expressions. He seemed to perceive something and his face became more calm.

Renault sighed suddenly.

After hearing this sigh, Boum shuddered and his head dropped lower.

Renault was a little funny. At this moment, he was completely convinced that this young man really had no scheming. His performance since he boarded the ship, and what he said just now, should come from his sincerity.

There is a detail that he almost ignored, enough to prove this point.

Boom Shicai mentioned that he identified "the shadow of the rune [rotation]" on the rune board of the magic air gun. This sentence is strong evidence.

Being able to find traces of rune [rotation] from the extremely complex rune "group" [rotation], this shows that Boom is extremely proficient in rune literature, and he deserves to claim that "every member of the family must learn rune literature." A member of the Maxwell family.

You must know that Fu Wenxue is not a simple and easy to learn knowledge, on the contrary, it is very difficult and extremely obscure. A few hundred years ago, it had another name-esoteric literature.

The "secret" in the three words of esoteric literature means mysterious, profound, and difficult to interpret.

People with poor talents can barely get started after learning for ten or eight years. To learn to "see runes [rotation] from the rune group [rotation]", it will inevitably require a lot of time and energy.

At Boum's age, even if he is very talented, he must spend most of his time on runes to achieve this level.

So here comes the question, time is spent studying Rune literature, how can there be time to practice intrigue?

Intrigue is not a born skill, and it takes a lot of time to master it proficiently.

In other words, intrigue and Fu literature cannot have both.

Since Boom is proficient in talismanic literature, he must be a rookie when it comes to playing tricks.

Not everyone is like Renault, who owns a magical "Book of Thermodynamics", this book puts a lot of knowledge about talismanic literature directly into his head.

In other words, the knowledge of Fu literature is equivalent to his innate knowledge, and it is so profound that ordinary people will look up.

A smile appeared at the corner of Renault's mouth and said:

"The name of our chamber of commerce is not called the ‘chamber of commerce that sells iron pots’, it’s called ‘the sea tide chamber of commerce’, and the place you are going to is called ‘the sea tide islands’..."

Boom first looked embarrassed, then suddenly widened his eyes, and asked in surprise:

"Your Excellency Renault, would you like to take me to...er...Tide Islands?"

Renault still didn't answer Boum's question head-on. He turned and strode towards the cabin, leaving a word:

"There are only 3 boat tickets you bought, and only 3 people can walk on the land of the Shanghai Tide Islands. I will send you a pirate ship, and other people in the Maxwell Chamber of Commerce can take this ship to the Thousand Lake Kingdom..."

At this stage, the specific location of the Haichao Islands still needs to be kept secret. For the sake of safety, he does not intend to let too many irrelevant people enter the islands.

Behind Renault, Boum's excitement and excitement rang.

"Gerich, we are going to the Tide Islands..."

After half an hour, the fleet set off again.

This time, the number of ships in the fleet has greatly expanded from two to eight, which is an explosive growth.

What's even cooler is that Renault won six sailboats worth more than 15,000 kinnals without paying a single kinnal. Is there anything more enjoyable than this?

This also brings a new problem-a serious shortage of sailors.

Renault patted his **** and threw this thorny issue to the hard-working Elon, authorizing (forcing) Elon to resolve the matter with full authority. All he wanted was one result: the eight ships must reach the Tide Islands intact.

Whether it was temporary promotion of sailors or emergency training of slaves to serve as sailors, he did not intend to intervene, leaving Elon to toss.

However, before going home, Renault has one more thing to do.

Six magic boats drifted quickly across the sea, heading for an island a few kilometers away. Behind the boats, a long string of large sailing boats was breaking through the boiling water and heading towards the island.

Renault stood on the bow of one of the small boats, looking at the distant island.

Relying on the extraordinary vision, he saw a lot of people running in a panic on the tattered simple dock. They rushed to escape from the dock and disappeared behind a low bush.

Renault's eyes flashed, his gaze crossed the island and looked farther away, only to see a large number of large or small, far or near black shadows, standing quietly in the waves, like silent giants.

This is an unnamed archipelago more than 300 kilometers away from the Thousand Lake Kingdom. The so-called "unnamed" means that there is no official name. The pirates who haunt here call it the "Ghost Claw Islands".

The pirates captured by the fleet came from Three Claw Island, one of the larger islands in the Ghost Claw Islands.

When Renault heard names like "Ghost Claw" and "Three Claws" for the first time, he couldn't help but spit out, did these pirates go with the word "claw"?

The Ghost Claw Archipelago has many islands and complex terrain. Many areas are covered with reefs. The danger is quite high. If there are no pirate captives to lead the way, I am afraid that Renault and his team will not find the location of Three Claw Island.

According to the confession, there are more than 2,000 residents living on this island with an area of ​​more than 30 square kilometers, most of them are the families of pirates. Hai Chao Ling is so eager for the population, how could Renault let them go?

And a copper nar does not need to spend, it is almost the same as white picking, plus this time just got 6 sailboats, the capacity is completely enough, so Renault waved his hand and the fleet turned around and headed to Three Claw Island.

Go to grab people!

After 6, 7 minutes, the magic boat carried a large wave of waves and leaned directly on the empty pier. More than 120 fully equipped island guards hulled onto the pier.

There were also three captives who came with the ship. They were the three highest-ranking three of the many surrendering pirates. They were the third leader and the two small leaders of this gathering place.

As for the higher-ranking big-heads and two-heads, they have unfortunately become hornet's nests. Later, they were reduced to fish and shrimp feed by the sea of ​​dead bodies.

Lanster walked to the triumphant triumphant face, and said loudly:

"Samson, remember, you only have half an hour to persuade the people in the gathering place to bring their remaining weapons to the dock and surrender. After the deadline, we will attack the gathering place immediately."

He clenched the magic air gun in his hand, his tone changed, and it was quite meaningful.

"I think, once the offense begins, you should be very clear about the consequences..."

Samson shuddered when he thought of the terrible scene of "the ship is full of screams and the flesh and blood corpses all over the deck". After taking a sneaky glance at the magic air gun, he nodded and said:

"Master Lanster, please rest assured, I will let those untouchables come out and surrender. If anyone dares not to surrender, I will definitely teach him severely..."

Lanster interrupted him impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense, go now..."

Samson bowed respectfully and ran away with two of his men.

Renault didn't wait long when he saw a dark silhouette at the end of the road connecting the pier. Under the leadership of a surrendering captain, they slowly walked towards the pier.

Most of these civilians are old and frail women and children in ragged clothes. The proportion of adult males is not more than 10%, and everyone is thin and weak. At first glance, they are malnourished. Many people are so hungry that they can't see any flesh. They look like skeletons. terror.

Obviously, due to loneliness overseas and lack of resources, life on Three-Jaw Island is quite difficult. For the common people, food and clothing are a luxury. Looking at this miserable appearance, you will know that the storm just passed. In the season, I don’t know how many people have not survived that long winter.

Some civilians were holding various rusty weapons in their hands, seeming to avoid misunderstandings. They all carried their weapons upside down.

Take the sword as an example. The civilian holding the sword knows how to hold the blade in his hand, indicating that he will not attack anyone. The same is true for civilians with other weapons.

Seeing the murderous big men standing on the dock, the civilians all showed nervousness. The speed of the team was obviously slower, but under the loud urging of the little boss, the long team still obediently walked towards the dock.

Lanster greeted a team of island guards, and while maintaining order, he shouted:

"Everyone, please put your weapon next to the big white rock, and then gather in the open space on the right side of the road. Please rest assured, as long as you follow the instructions, you will never get any harm..."

In the shouts over and over, the crowd began to diverge. The civilians with weapons in hand paid their weapons in accordance with their instructions, while the others went straight to the open space to wait.

Amidst the "ding ding dong dong" metal collision sound, a small hill gradually piled up beside the reef, and on the other side, with the flow of people, this wide open space was gradually filled with crowds.

When the 30-minute deadline came, Lanster walked quickly to Renault, bowed slightly, and whispered:

"Lord Lord, Samson said that all the people in the gathering place are here, and none of them are left out..."

Renault nodded, his body lifted from the ground and rose to a height of more than 10 meters, overlooking the 2,000 civilians below.

This astonishing action immediately caused an extremely obvious commotion. There was a "buzz" in the crowd. The civilians no longer knew what it meant.

This is an extraordinary master of the wind system.

Renault did not speak immediately, but stared at the civilians without saying a word. He didn't speak until the crowd was quiet again:

"Everyone, I am the lord of the Tide Islands, Renault Odin. Starting today, you will become my leaders and settle in the Tide Islands..."

This sentence unsurprisingly caused a turmoil in the crowd, but the turmoil soon subsided. They are just the lowest level civilians, unable to fight against the powerful transcendents, and can only passively accept the fate imposed on them by Renault.

"As a lord, I will ensure that every leader who works for me will get enough food, clean clothes, and a safe and sturdy residence, so that he will no longer be troubled by hunger and cold."

Many civilians have a look of suspicion, and the "suspicion" component is even greater, because they feel that what this lord has said is too beautiful, as beautiful as a fake.

You can get food, clothes, and shelter from work. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

However, even if the civilians think this is a "painted pie", there is a hint of hope on their faces, because painting a pie is better than nothing, right?

They do not expect to be fully fulfilled, even if they only fulfill one-third of it, they can be overjoyed.

But they didn’t know that the conditions given by Renault were only the most basic conditions. Every worker in Hai Chao Ling could get this basic treatment. People with a little more ability would definitely get more than that. Little bit.

After painting the pie, Renault keenly noticed that the faces of the civilians were obviously a little more angry, and then his face became serious. The civilians who were closer to him immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.

The upper person controls it, and pays attention to "benefit and power". Just now it was "en", then the next one should be "wei".

Although the more than 2,000 civilians all look submissive at this moment, don't forget, this is an island occupied by pirates, and most of the residents on the island have shallow or deep involvement with pirates.

They may not be considered wicked and evil, but they are not good people. Renault is sure that there are definitely not a few people who have been stained with human blood.

To deal with this kind of people, just relying on the word "graciousness" can make them change their minds and behave in a safe and self-contained manner?

How can it be!

Renault retreated quickly, and after half a breath, he stepped on top of the pile of weapons.

"Everyone, I have always believed in the phrase'equal rights and obligations.' I am willing to protect the people in the territory, but my protection is not unconditional."

"Every resident of Haichao Territory must work diligently for the territory and strictly abide by all the rules and regulations set by me, otherwise he will be punished. Believe me, the means of punishment will make you remember for life..."

As soon as the word "punishment" was uttered, something happened.

The pile of weapons more than 2 meters high at Renault's feet was like being grasped by an invisible giant hand. Hundreds of weapons suddenly broke off the ground, swimming quickly in the air, forming a loose ball.

After seeing this incomparably fantastic sight, the civilians were in an uproar, and there were one after another in exclamation in the crowd.

Renault suddenly stretched out his right hand and made a fist.

The ball seemed to be held by an invisible giant hand. All the weapons were pressed tightly together, and squeezed tighter and tighter. The outermost weapon twisted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a huge metal ball.

The exclamation in the crowd grew louder.

However, this is not over yet, the metal ball continues to compress, and deep indentations appear on the surface from time to time, as if this is not hard metal, but soft soil.

After being "kneaded" by the invisible hand for a while, the volume of the metal ball was reduced by at least 1/3, and the diameter was also reduced to about 1.5 meters, and no gap was visible on the surface of the ball.

The crowd gradually calmed down, and everyone looked at the miraculous scene in front of them intently.

But Renault wasn't satisfied. He glanced down at the metal ball and frowned slightly, feeling a little awkward on his face.

This little broken ball is too ugly...

The surface of the metal ball is full of layers of folds, which look rough and uneven. This is the case when the metal is forcibly kneaded together.

The next moment, the surface of the metal ball suddenly turned dark red, then it turned dark red, then red, and then the metal ball completely melted into a liquid, hovering in the air, slowly creeping.

After a few breaths, the molten mass stopped twisting and began to cool, and the red color retreated quickly.

In the end, a perfect metal ball appeared in the air. Its shape was extremely round, without any unevenness. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, with no flaws in sight, and it could clearly see people's shadows.

The audience was silent.

Renault looked at the dumbfounded faces and nodded triumphantly.

The reason why he asked people to collect the weapons in the gathering place is to avoid possible "accidents" on the one hand, and to use weapons on the scene to change "juggling" to show the powerful power of the lord, and to deter some unscrupulous people. civilian.

Renault quickly fulfilled the first promise he made-to keep everyone full, and still very full.

When preparing dinner, the Odin directly unloaded nearly 5 tons of dried salted fish. The chefs placed 20 super large pots next to the pier in one go, and each pot was full of salted fish.

The chef will give as much as the civilians can eat. One bowl is not enough to add two bowls. As much as you want, unlimited supply, absolutely enough!

This is how Renault buys people's hearts.

In the strong scent of salted fish, 20 long queues appeared next to the pier. Every civilian brought their largest wooden bowl (tub) and looked forward to the steaming cauldron.

"Don't squeeze, please line up in order, everyone has a share, this pot is finished, we will cook it again, today everyone can eat all you can eat..."

"We have enough dried salted fish. Have you seen the box over there? There are still thousands of catties in it... If this is not enough, there are hundreds of tons on the sailing boat. I can guarantee that you will not be able to eat it... "

The playful words of a sailor who was responsible for adding food to the civilians caused a burst of laughter in the crowd.

When it was the team's turn to a thin boy, he carefully and cautiously followed other people's practices, placing the big wooden bowl in his hand on the wooden table in front of the wok, and staring at the wok expectantly.

The sailor glanced at the boy's dirty little face and the ribs clearly visible under the shabby clothes, and asked softly:

"Little guy, how much fish do you want? Would you like some fish soup? The fish soup contains cinnamon and fragrant Cang Ming, which tastes better than fish..."

The boy flushed immediately. He glanced at the large piece of fish that was rolling up and down in the boiling water, couldn't help but swallowed, and whispered:

"Good-hearted lord, I only need half of the fish..."

Seeing the sailor staring at him unblinkingly, the boy became a little flustered. He began to speak incoherently, and his voice became smaller and smaller:

"No, no, half is too much, a small and a half is enough, and a small and a half is really good... Uh... I don't eat much, it doesn't matter if I eat less..."

The sailor held the big iron spoon tightly and sighed in his heart, he understood that the boy had misunderstood what he meant.

As the leader of Hai Chao Ling, he has already got rid of the life of frequent starvation in the past few months. There is no shortage of big fish and meat on the table. After solving the problem of food and clothing, he naturally has a higher pursuit.

Therefore, in the eyes of the sailor, the more delicious fish soup is a better food than fish meat. He suggested that the boy "get some fish soup" out of good intentions.

But the boy didn't think so at all. He thought fish meat is a good thing. No matter how much fish soup is drunk, can he fill his belly? After hearing what the sailor said, he subconsciously thought that the sailor was unwilling to give more fish, which hinted that he should drink more fish soup.

The sailor did not explain, he simply scooped up a large piece of fish, shook the iron spoon again, poured out all the fish soup in it, and put the fish in the boy's wooden bowl.

In the boy's surprised and inexplicable gaze, the sailor put the iron spoon into the pot again, scooped up the second piece of fish, put it in the wooden bowl, then the third piece, the fourth piece...

Until the fish in the wooden bowl was piled up sharply.

However, the sailor did not stop. He pressed the fish in the bowl with an iron spoon, and filled a piece of fish again. At this time, the wooden bowl was almost full of large pieces of fish, and there was almost no soup.

He turned his head to look at the boy, and said with a smile:

"Take it, if the fish is not enough, you can add more, if you want to drink the fish soup, you can also come in line..."

The sailor winked again:

"Hi, man, this fish soup is really good..."

The boy wiped his red eyes and bowed deeply, before reaching out to hug the heavy wooden bowl, there was a hint of crying in his voice involuntarily.

"Thank you for your kindness..."
