698 Don't let go
The Hutt civilization is located in the Skywalker system, and the Black Star Legion has a branch here, and the Hutt civilization set up a group of diplomats who are responsible for dealing with the Black Star Legion branch three years ago, and the group leader is an elite person transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called Wolman.
In the satellite branch near the resource planet, the Black Star Legion has the office of the Hutt civilization, which is the office area of the diplomatic team, and Wollman and his team members have been staying here to supervise the exploitation of the resource planet and communicate with the Black Star Legion branch at any time.
As usual, Wollman came to the office early, greeted the team members early, sat down in his seat, admired the starry sky outside the window, and then took out a book from his bag and spread it out on the table. It was a literary book written in Hurt's script, with beautiful rhetoric, and he decided that it would take him about a morning to finish chapters 8 through 11 today.
He quickly decided on a reading plan for today, saved more for tomorrow, and if he was in a good mood, he would consider reading more.
In the interstellar era, in order to save unnecessary manufacturing and transportation costs, basically all entertainment and art books are electronic versions, and physical books have become collectibles.
As the elite of the Hutt Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the upper class of society, Wolman strictly required himself to live exquisitely, he took out a can of handicrafts with cyan powder, scooped two spoonfuls and a third of it, poured it into a crystal cup, and then brewed it with cold water, the cyan powder in the cup dissolved in cold water, turned into a thick cyan blue liquid, flashing fluorescent, as if there were stars settling and rising and falling in it, which was very beautiful.
This is a refreshing drink, ground into powder with a plant called frost beans, brewed with cold water, it is a special drink loved by the Hutt people, cold and sweet, Wolman's frost bean powder will naturally not be a big road commodity in the factory, but a hand-ground boutique.
Wollman returned to his seat with the crystal cup, took a sip of the cyan drink, then picked up the books on the table, adjusted the angle between the seat and the window to form a forty-five degree angle, forming a posture of reading by the window, as if he had completed some ritual, and then he was satisfied with reading the book.
He did not rule out that he was transferred to this idle position, but he was not satisfied with the work at this time.
Wolman hopes that he will be active in the political and diplomatic arena among civilizations, and show his diplomatic charm with an elegant attitude, which is the style of painting that elites should have. And the Black Star Legion is just an armed force, even if the force is strong, but in terms of composition, it is just a bunch of rude mercenaries with little culture, Wollman does not like to deal with the Black Star Legion, in his opinion, it is an insult to himself and a waste of his talents.
At this time, a team member hurriedly walked into the room and said loudly: "Team leader, just now the people of the Black Star Legion sent a notice that their leader Black Star will come to the Skywalker Galaxy in seven days and personally visit our Hutt civilization, this is a detailed document. ”
Blackstar came to the door in person, what was the purpose of this...... Wolman was shocked, since he took office, he has solved some trivial matters, and this is the first slightly important diplomatic incident.
After taking the document and reading it carefully, Wollman was surprised: "He wants to meet Lotherine?" Who is Lotherine? ”
Han Xiao wrote his goal in order to inform the Hutt civilization in advance, if it was just to meet, with his status, the Hutt civilization should not refuse.
Wollman immediately contacted the higher-ups, and after a ten-minute call, he hung up the communication and exhaled, the person above was not ready to come forward in person, and let him be responsible for greeting the Black Star and receiving the whole process.
……
Seven days later, Han Xiao drove the spaceship to the Skywalker galaxy and landed at the military port of a ruling star of the Hutt civilization.
The hatch opened, Han Xiao walked down with Renard, and Wollman straightened his clothes, walked up with an elegant smile, and took the initiative to reach out and ask for a shake.
"Your Excellency Blackstar, I am Wolman of the diplomatic team, and I welcome you on behalf of the Hutt civilization."
"Yo, hello." Han Xiao shook his hand.
"Knowing your arrival, the senior management originally wanted to accompany you personally, but unfortunately, your arrival was too sudden, and they couldn't spare the trip, so I am responsible for receiving you, please don't be surprised." Wollman spoke appropriately.
In fact, this is just a rhetoric, the high-level of the Hutt civilization deliberately did not come forward, because when the dark star was in trouble, the Hutt civilization had secretly cooperated with the dark star, and at this time, I heard that the black star specially visited, and some thieves were weak-hearted, so they decided to send insignificant small officials to receive them, so as to wait and see the attitude of the black star, and see why the black star wanted to see Lotherine.
But Wolman doesn't know these inside stories, in his opinion, the high-level does not come forward, which represents the attitude of the Hutt civilization towards the Black Star, although three years ago he followed the trend and invited the Black Star to establish a sub-base, but in fact, he did not pay too much attention to this nouveau riche, and still maintained the reserve that the galaxy civilization should have, this attitude made Wolman feel very satisfied.
In Wollman's eyes, Blackstar is an upstart.
Black Star is powerful, but now it is not a unique super A-level, but with the help of the storm of public opinion three years ago, the Black Star Legion took off in waves, and in his opinion, the temperament of an upstart is everywhere. Black Star is essentially just a native who came out of a backward planet, and Wollman, as an elite member of an old galactic civilization, has a sense of superiority from his background, and he doesn't look down on the Black Star Army very much in his bones.
However, as a trained diplomat, this contempt was naturally perfectly concealed by him, maintaining a semblance of respect.
"Don't be so polite." Han Xiao waved his hand.
Wollman nodded, "We've been notified by you, Lotherine is being held in a secret prison on this planet, and you can meet at any time, do you want to rest first, or meet her first." ”
"Let's go to the prison and see her first."
"Okay, please come with me."
Outside the harbor, an officially licensed hovercar was parked, and Han Xiao and Renard followed Wollman into the car and headed to the prison where Lotherine was.
The hovering car drove smoothly all the way, without any shock, the scenery outside the window was speeding, and in the car, Han Xiao was chatting with Wollman, and Renard was sitting on the side, not smiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seven days ago, he received a mission from Renard, and after discovering that Lotherine was an acquaintance, he immediately put down all other arrangements, and regarded rescuing Lotherine as the highest priority.
Considering Lotherine's identity, Han Xiao brought Renard with him, in the name of letting their sister and brother meet, but in fact, to let Lotherine let down her guard.
Originally, although Han Xiao attached great importance to Renard, he didn't regard him as a character with a background, but after seeing Renard's sister, he knew that he had made up his mind for this brother!
"Are you nervous about meeting your long-lost sister?" Han Xiao didn't hide it, and asked Renard in a voice that everyone else in the car could hear.
"Not nervous." Renard shook his head, "My impression of her is already very weak, even if we meet, I don't have anything to say to her, just go our separate ways." ”
"You asked me to help you rescue Lotherine without asking for anything in return? It seems that your feelings for Lotherine are not as light as you say. Han Xiao smiled.
"My family should take care of each other, and even if she has abandoned me, I should help her when she is in trouble." Renard's face was serious.
Wollman listened with a smile and secretly wrote down this information, Lotherine seemed to be the family of a general under the command of Black Star? Maybe that's what Blackstar came to do, and I'll have to report it to the higher-ups later.
More than two hours later, the hovercar drove into a military base, entered the underground passage, and stopped at the door of an underground prison, where the heavy alloy gate was now open, and the warden and guards were waiting for him.
"Your Excellency Blackstar, we have arrived, please let me show you the way."
Wollman got out of the car, opened the car door for Han Xiao, and then talked to the warden for a few words, respectfully leading the way ahead.
The prison is very advanced, with a variety of interstellar technology and very quiet detention measures, only the hum of various mechanical guards passing by, and the ceiling is equipped with various automatic weapons, which automatically aim at any heat-sensing target, and is very heavily guarded.
Han Xiao admired it while walking, and benefited a lot, and decided to go back to renovate the happy hut after this matter was done.
They walked through several cells to the deepest solitary cell, where they stopped at the door of an alloy cell.
"The person you want to see is inside." Wollman nodded.
The warden opened the cell door, and the crowd entered, and the space inside was not narrow, divided into two areas by a translucent high-strength synthetic glass, and inside the glass was Lotherine's cell.
Compared with Renard's photo, at this time, Lotherine's long hair has been shaved into a flat short hair, wearing a shabby prison uniform, and her appearance is still young, without any traces of the vicissitudes of time, but there is a little more temperament that I see pity, just by looking at it, Han Xiao knows that the highest attribute of this woman is charm, maybe she has a fight with Ferdin.
The cell was dim, and the bright light outside the door shone in, and Lotherine squinted her eyes uncomfortably, looking at the few people in front of the glass, although she was a prisoner, her aura was calm and calm.
"Hmm, it's been one hundred and forty-seven days since you last looked for me, what do you want me to do this time?"
Renard spoke, "Do you still know me?" ”
When Lotherine heard this, her eyes turned to Renard's face, and she squinted for a moment to recognize it, and her face was shocked.
"Are you...... My long-dead father? ”
"I'm Renard!!"
"Oh, brother, so you're still alive." Lotherine sighed in disappointment, not at all surprised that Renard was here, "What are you here for?" ”
"I'm here to save you." Renard said in a deep voice.
"I haven't seen you for decades, and you're still just as stupid." Lotherine turned to the warden Nunu next to her, "Do you think he's deaf?" ”
"Your Excellency Blackstar will try to get you out."
"Blackstar?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, "I don't know." ”
Han Xiao didn't speak on the side, his expression was strange, the scene of his sister and brother meeting was not the same as he imagined, shouldn't he be a sister and brother hugging and crying together and sprinkling dog blood?
He looked at Lotherine in the cell and was amazed.
Unexpectedly, the backbone members of the future Silver Revolutionary Army turned out to be the family of one of his cadres.
The Silver Revolutionary Army is a big version of the main line, and the rebellion is not a small fish and shrimp, but the three cosmic-level civilizations, since they want to carry out a revolution, they naturally want to harvest the hearts of the people, and Lotherine is an indispensable and important member, AKA "missionary".
Even if she doesn't come, sooner or later, someone else will take a fancy to Lotherine's ability and rescue her, and she is the first to strike now.
Luo Thrine is a key figure in a big main line, so Han Xiao is particularly interested in her, maybe he can intervene in the plot of the Silver Revolutionary Army from this clue, and according to the time, the Silver Revolutionary Army should not have been formed yet.
Aside from Lotherine's identity, she is also a potential stock, although her ability has little combat power, but in the area of demagogic and inciting the masses, she is simply a special talent that cannot be replaced.
Her ability seems to be ordinary at first glance, but in fact, the final form of this ability is enough to be on the "Super High Risk Ability Restriction List", which has terrifying ideological contagion, not military conquest, but cultural conquest!
Although it has no actual lethality, it is a great weapon of destruction to subvert any ruling class!
Lotherine was born to be a revolutionary and sectarian talent!
Of course, it is also very useful if it is used to consolidate the position of the ruling class.
The group walked out of the cell, and the warden closed the door again.
"I've seen it too, Lord Blackstar, I don't know what else you want?" Wollman asked.
Han Xiao glanced at Renard, then touched his chin, and said: "Indeed, I still have a reluctant request, I hope to bail out Lotherine, you have also seen, she is the family of my cadre, as far as I know, she has not violated the laws of the Hutt civilization, you are just imprisoning her on behalf of the Ceciris civilization, as long as you are willing to release people, I can talk to the Cecilian people myself." ”
"Hehe, this matter is beyond my jurisdiction, I have to inform the higher-ups, please wait."
Wollman was not surprised at all, he had guessed the intention of the black star just now, he came to the side, took out the communicator and dialed the phone of the high-level, and talked for a while, then hung up the communication and came back to Han Xiao with an apologetic face.
"I'm sorry, it's an internal matter of our civilization, and Lotherine is an important prisoner and doesn't receive any bail."
Although the galaxy-level civilization attaches importance to Han Xiao and wants to have a good relationship with him, it will not become demanding, if it is an ordinary prisoner, it may be easy to say, but in the eyes of the Hutt civilization, Lotherine is also an important chess piece, so naturally it is impossible to hand it over because of Han Xiao's words.
"That's it, forget it." Han Xiao shook his head in disappointment.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Wollman had a decent smile on his face, saying the official rhetoric, but he was secretly sneering in his heart, and he couldn't help but slander:
You're not a super A, and you want to mention someone in one sentence?
Do you really think of yourself as a green onion?
