Chapter 1447 Seed of Darkness
1447, Seed of Darkness
Anakin Skywalker returned to the Jedi Temple dumbfounded, he didn't even know how he returned.
When he walked into the temple gate, Master Shakti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, was waiting for him. When he saw Anakin coming in, Shakti stepped forward and raised his hand gently. Brushing Anakin's forehead, a cool force of force suddenly blew through him, making him seem a little more awake.
"You're finally back, Anakin, and I was worried about you." Shaak-Ti said, "It looks like you weren't harmed, which is great. Facing a Sith Lord, It’s a very dangerous thing.”
"I'm sorry, Master Shaak-Ti, I can't..." Anakin Skywalker shook his head in pain.
"It's not your fault, Anakin..." Shakti patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just that I really want to know Master Yoda's situation urgently. You see him Is it okay? Even...even the worst case scenario is fine."
Anakin whispered tiredly: "Master Yoda failed...but he didn't die, but I don't know him either. Where are you now..."
He paused and added, "Sidious doesn't know either."
Hearing this, Shaak-Ti frowned. When she got up, she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She just watched Anakin return to his dormitory.
Anakin Skywalker sat blankly on the bed in his dormitory, looking at the white ceiling. Countless images flashed through his mind... At this moment, he seemed to see his kind mother Shmi Skywalker caring for him. Preparing a simple meal, standing next to him was Qui-Gon Jinn who was like an elder, Padmé Amidala who was as beautiful as an angel, and Obi-Wan Kenobi who took care of him like a brother. And the smart Ahsoka Tano...
Not only that, he also saw his good friend Jax Pawan, who often communicated with him about the fighter-modified Saas-Tin Master, and Master Yoda, who is full of worries and teaches him earnestly... Even the weird and cunning Dream Sisters who often make mischief and make trouble seem to be wandering around with the sweet laughter like silver bells...
The voices of these people seemed to be heard in his ears. Some of them were laughing, some were preaching, and some were discussing... He even saw Master Qui-Gon Jin smiling and reaching out to him, "You have grown up, Anna. Gold..."
However, when Anakin stretched out his hand, everything around him disappeared...
No one was there...
Yes... there is no one... not by my side...
More than ten years have passed, and I am still alone...
Anakin Skywalker's mood Now it has become extremely heavy. His family, friends, master, and the deceased angel, Darth Sidious... countless things are weighing on his heart, almost making him collapse.
"I just... want to protect everyone..." Anakin muttered to himself.
However, he realized now that he could not protect even one person.
I don't know when Anakin Skywalker fell asleep like this with endless thoughts.
However, the next day, he was awakened by a very rough banging on the door. Anakin Skywalker opened the door and walked out, only to see more than a dozen Jedi standing outside the door. Each of these people looked evil. Anakin recognized that many of them had been making speeches on various occasions during this period. Those Jedi with radical rhetoric.
Blood Warrior!
"Anakin! You must explain to us! Why did the Sith Lord Darth Sidious ask you to go alone!?" One of them asked sharply.
"And as a Jedi, after confronting a Sith Lord, you came back unscathed! Tell us, what happened?! You and Darth Sidious What’s the deal? ”
Anakin Skywalker's face darkened, and he began to contain endless anger in his heart, "I don't have any agreement with Darth Sidious! Yesterday, he just asked me to report in the name of the Speaker of the Republic. ! "
"He is a Sith Lord! ! An evil existence that has enveloped the entire galaxy! Why are you able to tolerate a Sith from the point of view of the Jedi Order? The existence of Lord Si!" said a blood warrior.
"In order to practice the light, you should kill him with one sword!" Another blood warrior was also aggressive, "Not only did you not do this, he also did not do any harm to you! Could it be that a Jedi warrior still Can you live in peace with the Sith Lord? You must make this clear!"
"I see anger and a little darkness in you, Anakin, you shouldn't be like this. "This is an older blood warrior.
Anakin Skywalker felt a buzz in his head, as if something exploded. His eyes were red, he jumped up and roared loudly, "Kill him? Are you going?! Why don't you go? Isn't he in the parliament building? If you really hate him, go ahead and kill him! Is this what you call the Speaker of the Republic? ! What will happen to the Republic if you kill him? Have you ever thought about that? ”
"You can actually say such things! Anakin! It seems that Master Windu is right! You were too old when you entered the Jedi Order! You are not suitable to be a Jedi Knight at all!" A blood warrior tit for tat to accuse.
"Whether I am suitable as a Jedi Knight or not is not up to you! Who do you think you are? What are you doing when I fight for the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic, and fight bravely to kill the enemy!? Who has participated in more battles than me? Who has lost more than me? I lost everything! !" Anakin Skywalker yelled hysterically.
"Enough! Anakin!" A majestic female voice came from the side.
I saw Shakti walking quickly with Coleman Kekaji and other remaining committee members of the Jedi Order. She looked at the blood warriors with a somewhat unhappy look on her face. It was so beautiful that he snorted and said: "And you! Is this how Master Yoda taught you to be aggressive towards others? Go to the solitary room immediately and be punished! Everyone!" Those blood warriors were obviously very unconvinced, with expressions on their faces. He still looked unruly, but he still followed the instructions of Shaak Ti, the current leader of the Jedi Order, and turned around and walked towards the confinement room.
Shake-Ti took a deep breath, shook her head, and said to Anakin Skywalker: "Come with me, Anakin. I do still have a lot to say to you."
Anakin nodded and followed Shakti to a reading room.
Shako-Ti sat on one of the seats and motioned for Anakin to sit down too. She got straight to the point very seriously: "The departure of Master Windu and the appearance of the Blood Warrior have heralded the Jedi Knights. The division of the order is inevitable... In fact, in all the wars the Jedi Order has experienced, there have been divisions between the radical faction and the peaceful faction. For example, the Jedi Covenant that appeared four thousand years ago is such an example... But. ..."
She stared into Anakin's eyes and continued: "This is not the way to light. Such an extreme is destined to not last long, and the more difficult it is for us, the more difficult it is. The more we must stick to our original intention and the light in our hearts. Master Yoda has taught us more than once that persistence is the most difficult thing in the universe... Indulgence is just a thought. ”
< br>Anakin Skywalker nodded, sighed and said, "It was my fault just now, Master Shaak-Ti. At that moment, I gave in to the anger in my heart."
"It's good that you can realize this, Anakin." Shaak-Ti said, "Furthermore, to face a Sith Lord and be able to suppress his impulse and anger to do this A little bit more difficult."
Anakin lowered his head.
Shak-Ti then raised her own question, "But although it may be difficult for you, the current situation has indeed reached an imminent point. Can you tell me what happened? ?”
Anakin Skywalker said: “Palpatine admitted that he is Darth Sidious, but... I can’t attack him because he is also the Galaxy. The Speaker of the Republic...and the other Sith Lord Death Angel may be a more dangerous figure."
Then he briefly explained the conversation between himself and Palpatine. one time. Of course, there were some things that he didn't want Shakti to know, and he didn't say them, for example, about his mother.
Shakti thought for a long time before saying: "It is impossible for us to tolerate a Sith Lord continuing to sit in the position of Speaker and lead the Galactic Republic. This is absolutely impossible, because he will not only affect the entire It brings harm to the galaxy, and it will also bring harm to us. What I see is that Palpatine continues to push the war deeper, and continues to make the Galactic Republic gradually move towards militarization and centralization. This is not allowed."
Anakin Skywalker's tone became somewhat cold, "But if we don't do this, we will not be able to defeat the Separatism, and the division of the Outer Rim Sector will be inevitable. Will it continue? "
"So, you agree with his idea? A Sith Lord?" Shake Ti frowned, this was unexpected.
"This war is contradictory enough, Master Shaak-Ti." Anakin said, "I don't hate the blood warriors who just questioned me, because only fighting on the front line can I feel This contradiction."
He raised his hand and clenched a fist, "If the war continues, more people will suffer the destruction and pain of the war... And in order to win the war, we have to To do more things that go against our creed..."
Anakin raised his head and said: "I have killed many people, Master Shaak Ti... many people. But in order to end this war, maybe I will kill more people... and Darth Sidious The same is true for Si, he is the Sith Lord and the Speaker of the Republic. How should we choose? As the Speaker, he has made countless efforts for the victory of the war. If it were not for his persistence, maybe the Galactic Republic would not even be official until now. We don’t have any troops. At that time, what can we rely on to resist the separatist attack?”
He said, sighing, “I really want to kill him, really, Shake Ti. Master. He was seriously injured, and I could have stabbed him through the chest. But...but what if I did kill him? The administrative core of the Galactic Republic would be in chaos, and his previous efforts to win the war would be over. Effective policies cannot be implemented. Perhaps, our just-initiated effective counterattack will be forced to stop, and at that time, will we have harmed countless people who are in dire straits due to the continuation of the war?"
Shaak-Ti suddenly asked: "What if he is no longer the Speaker? Will you kill him?"
Anakin frowned in thought, But it didn't answer this question.
Shako-Ti forced a forced smile and said: "I understand, you go back and rest, Anakin."
...
Zhang Jiarui is currently in a very advanced laboratory. This laboratory covers a very large area. It is even difficult to imagine that such a luxurious laboratory actually has every inch of space. On the very precious industrial ring of planet Kuat!
The remains of the Thor mecha he once drove are now placed in a nearby laboratory. Some engineering robots are repairing the outer armor of this mecha.
Zhang Jiarui was in front of a terminal, lazily operating it. This terminal actually uses the style of the Fourth Civilization, and even the operating system is unique to the Fourth Civilization. From this alone, you can see the vast power of the Quat Power Dockyard.
Because the Fourth Civilization’s own intelligence and counter-intelligence work is very good, the Galactic Republic has always wanted to obtain some of the Fourth Civilization’s technological items, but not many are actually able to do so.
However, Kuat Power Shipyard still got such a complete terminal and operating system. Even if it is not the latest model, it is enough.
Zhang Jiarui now has no choice but to start providing Xiao Kuate with what they want - technological information on the Thor mecha.
However, he still kept an eye on it. What he writes now is not the technology of the extractor cannon currently used on the Thor mecha, but the technology of the original version of the extractor. .
In other words, this was the extractor's technology sample that Severance Tann obtained from the Wookiee research base on the Alaris satellite at that time. This thing is originally something from the Galactic Republic, so it would not be a problem to write it down. Anyway, the fourth civilization is already far ahead in its research on extractors.
