2182. The origin of the Soul Harp
However, even if the two sides in the civil war temporarily ceased fighting, the fundamental problem has still not been solved - the Korok people have given up fighting Mongar-Mongal, and they only want to live on their own planet. They are clinging to life, hoping that Lugubra can help them eat all the Mongal-Mongals that invade the planet.
And there are still many Korok people who want to take advantage of the Normandy, because this spaceship seems to have a very high level of hyperspace engine, and it can fly through the Mongar-Mongar blockade and go to of the outside world.
Shepard negotiated with the Elder Faction many times, but they all refused to lend the Mind Harp, and they did not even want Shepard to come into contact with this artifact.
There was no other way, Shepard had no choice but to discuss it with Vishal.
Vishal is indeed an outlier among the Koroks. He has dedicated his life to destroying Mongal-Mungal, and is not interested at all in the conspiracies and calculations among the Koroks. He has conducted extensive research on Mongal-Mongal, but still has not been able to find a way to completely eliminate it.
After the discussion, Vishal told Shepard that no one knew how to activate the Mind Harp. For thousands of years after the Koroks obtained this artifact, no one was able to activate it.
But the problem is that after activating the Soul Harp, an isolation field can be created that isolates all energy and signals on the planet, thus cutting off the connection between all Mongal-Mongal clones and the core on the planet. Let those clones turn into real mud. Where does this statement come from?
And given the long lifespan of the Korok people, the person who originally proposed this statement may still be alive now.
So, with Vishal's help, Shepard began to visit around. At this time, Shepard had become the dominant force on the planet Krakul. They have a powerful spaceship like the Normandy, and the Koroks can't crack the stealth device of the spacecraft; they also have two ghost agents, Senro and Death, and excellent warriors like Ashley Williams and Caiden Alanco , as well as elites of the Fourth Legion like Huang Yehao, and legendary heroes like Shepard.
During the journey to the planet Krakul, Shepard also felt that her spiritual energy was gradually awakening, which also made her abilities more powerful.
Coupled with the act of forcibly preventing the civil war, the entire Korok people were afraid of Shepard. Because of this, she and Vishal were able to move freely together, visiting and investigating without encountering any obstacles.
Finally, Shepard and Vishal found an old Korok who lived in a corner of the city and was unwilling to participate in the fight. Maybe he is very old, but for the Korok people, the concept of 'old' does not exist. 'Old Man' was what Shepard used to call him.
The old man told Shepard and Vishal that it was he who found the Soul Harp. At that time, he sold the Soul Harp for a super high price, and the idea that the Soul Harp could isolate Mongal-Mongal was what he used to raise the price.
Because the threat of Mongar Mongar had just emerged at that time, the Korok people were very actively preparing to eliminate this potentially fatal threat. Therefore, such an artifact that can target Mongal-Mongal is naturally very suitable.
"So, this artifact can isolate Mongar-Menggar's control of the clone. Is this just a lie?" Shepard was a little discouraged when he heard this. However, the old man shook his head and said: "It's not a complete lie, powerful human being. I found the soul harp in a ruins."
"Where is the ruins?" Xue Pad asked quickly.
“At that time, the situation on Krakul’s planet was not so bad, and occasionally there were some temporary hyperspace channels connecting us, allowing us to go to the satellite dwarf system where Kamino’s planet is located, and then Then go to the outside world." The old man said that people in the unknown star field call the galaxy outside the unknown star field the outside world, and the place they are in is called chaos.
“So, at that time, I traveled around the outside world for a period of time and met a lot of people. And for a few years, I traveled around with a group of explorers. Once, we came to A galaxy called Rafa." The old man continued, "The gravitational environment of this galaxy is very complex. There are eleven planets, but according to our standards, the eleven planets are all uninhabitable planets. Yes, there are a lot of ruins on the eleven planets.”
"Remnants of a lost civilization?" Shepard asked.
"That's right. A civilization called Sharu. This civilization is conservatively estimated to have existed one hundred thousand years ago, but they did not have strong expansion capabilities. When the swarm swept the entire galaxy, they just stayed in a corner and did not participate in it, nor were they enemies of the Kilik swarm. And because of its remote location, the Kilik swarm probably did not really want to conquer it," the old man said. , "But other than that, we don't know much more about this Saru civilization."
"Where was the Soul Harp found?" Shepard asked again.
"Yes." The old man nodded. The illusion he formed was of an old human man about the same height as Shepard. "There are colonies of the Saru civilization all over the eleven planets in the Rafa galaxy. . They should have a very advanced technology that allows them to settle on planets with harsh environments. Then, on the fifth planet, we found a very huge pyramid building that is even close to 10,000 meters high. meters, it can be clearly seen from outer space, and the Soul Harp is placed on the top of this huge pyramid."
The old man continued: "At that time, there was a Wookiee in our team, and he was very reckless. , he flew over in a shuttle and took down the Soul Harp. He didn’t know what he did. The moment he took off the harp, the entire planet was covered by a strange radiation, all the signals, all the energy. , everything is isolated! Even the radiation from the star cannot reach the planet! ”
He said this with some lingering fear, "And at that moment, we heard someone speaking in our heads. He spoke very fast, and he used Galactic Standard Language, but we didn't write down much of it. thing. I only know that this thing is called the Soul Harp, and I also know that they are the Saru civilization. At the same time, this Soul Harp can completely bring a planet into complete protection."
"Then, you put the mind. Did you bring the harp?" Shepard asked.
“The anomalies on Planet Rafa were quickly noticed by the Galactic Republic. They immediately sent an exploration team, so we ran away.” The old man said, “Many things happened in the meantime... In short, our team also split up. They fought with each other to get the Soul Harp... But, I won."
The old man who formed the illusion looked up to the sky, and said in a somewhat emotional tone, "Then, I won. I brought the Mind Harp back to the planet Krakul, and remade the words I heard in my mind. I told everyone that it is an artifact from a million years ago, and it can isolate Mongar-Menggar from control. After that, he sold it at a high price." (End of Chapter)
