Half an hour later, the boxy rental airboat drove into the most prosperous area of the star along the dense traffic flow, looking down from the car, what you saw was a brighter nightless light than the galaxy, and thousands of airboats moved along the air trajectory in an orderly manner, sending the dense crowd to their respective destinations.

"This is the real prosperous civilization." Sean sat in the car, and there was no lack of emotion.

Compared to the green light seen not so long ago, the city is undoubtedly a lot less glitzy, with neither the tall buildings standing above the sky nor the neon that envelops the entire city. But the prosperity under our feet is better than the truth, it is not a face-saving project accumulated by the whim of someone in power, gathering the wealth of the entire planet, but is built on the basis of real manpower and wealth.

And there are more than ten cities like [Xia Jing] on [Kun]! Each major city is surrounded by a number of satellite towns, which are connected to each other by an extremely developed logistics network, and the whole planet is like one.

Also located in the middle of nowhere, at the edge of the Milky Way, the Dry Galaxy and Bergamoore are really like each other, and this also makes Sean feel good about this place.

Sean said: "Although there are many references to the prosperity of this place, it is more touching to see it with your own eyes. ”

"So read a lot, but don't believe it, you have to practice it more," Mostima said. ”

"Yes." Sean responded earnestly.

During the master-apprentice conversation, the R2X7 in the driver's seat emitted a series of electronic sounds, and Sean was a little surprised: "Have you arrived at the place?" Oh, over there? Master, look! ”

Following Sean's finger, Mostima saw a green mountain and green water in the bustling steel forest, which was particularly eye-catching.

It was a hanging garden built on top of a high-rise building, but it was very large, with lush greenery stretching all the way beyond the edge of the building, gorgeous flowers dotted among the branches and leaves of the trees, and in the greenery, there was even a trickling stream, which turned into a waterfall and flowed down.

"This is the tasteful bar you recommend? Thank you! Sean gives a thumbs up to the robot, which responds with a cheerful electronic sound, indicating that the fare can be discounted.

Moments later, the airship docked outside a wooden platform at the edge of the forest, and Sean paid the discounted fare and walked to the platform with Master. As the airship roared away, two young men and women dressed in black and white waiter costumes approached and greeted the visitors respectfully.

Mostima walked in front and asked for a private room in fluent Qiankun, while Sean took a half-step forward and naturally quietly delivered a few valuable Qiankun coins into the waiter's hands, making the smiles of the two young men and women a little more sincere.

Under the effect of Qiankun coins, the master and apprentice quickly got the private room they wanted without making an appointment. Sean randomly ordered three or four special drinks and snacks from Xia Jing that came with the private room, and when the waiter left, he first loaded a plate for the master before eating and drinking by himself.

Mostima, however, was in no hurry to enjoy it, and was silent for a moment, as if in meditation.

A moment later, Sean was about to order two more supper when he heard a knock outside the door.

Sean immediately retracted his thoughts, and his gaze sharpened.

The main drama should be staged.

Mostima was unhurried and smiled, "Come in." ”

It was a good-looking Togruta waiter who came in, holding a silk note in his hand, and said apologetically: "Sorry to disturb you, this is the gentleman in the private room next door who asked me to give it to you." ”

Mostima nodded, took the note, and stuffed a coin over, but was pushed back by the waiter with a smile: "It's not allowed here, sorry." ”

Mostima was slightly stunned, but did not insist, withdrew the coin, picked up the note, and fell into deep thought.

Sean looked at the coin that Master had recovered with interest, and then walked behind Master to see the snow-white silk cloth neatly written: "Messengers of the Republic, please come to the [Golden Scale] room." ”

Sean couldn't help frowning: "How weird do you look, this is really a liaison?" ”

"It may also be the Qiankun Group, but in any case, it is always necessary to meet, and since we have come openly, we don't have to deliberately avoid anything." ”

After speaking, the Jedi Master got up and walked, her pace was very fast, and she came to the "Golden Scales" room in three or two steps. Pushing open the door, I saw a tall man dressed in black sitting on the sofa, with a suppressed panic on his face, and after seeing Mostima, he became noticeably more nervous, and his voice became sharper.

"It's an honor to meet you, emissaries from the Republic, I didn't expect you to come so quickly......"

"Because the later you come, the farther you are from the truth, Mr. Nan Qianyu," said Mostima. ”

At the same time, Sean also locked on the person's information in his mind.

Vice President of [Nanming Capital] under Qiankun Group, Nan Heli's younger brother, Nan Qianyu.

As a son of the wealthy Nan family of the galaxy, Nan Qianyu's biggest characteristic is mediocrity: talent, conduct, and perseverance are all mediocre, compared with the two radiant brothers Nan Heli and Nan Yujin, he has been transparent since he was a child, and he does not serve as a substance in Nanming Capital, and only enjoys dividends. There is very little information about him, both in the Republic and within the Dry Galaxy.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was him, as the representative of the Avengers, who met with the Jedi master and apprentice...... Is there no one in the Nan family?

Sean had doubts in his heart, but the person in charge of the conversation at this time was the master, so it was inconvenient to say more.

After a simple greeting, Nan Qianyu couldn't wait to get to the point: "This time my brother was killed, I believe you have seen the reason announced by the group, but I never think it will be a so-called accident!" He must have been murdered! ”

Mostima was not in a hurry to make a statement, but looked at a gorgeous ornament on Nan Qianyu's chest, and then remained silent.

Nan Qianyu was stunned for a while, and with some embarrassment, he reached out and took off the ornament and put it on the table: "I'm sorry, as you can see, this is a simple recording device, something has happened recently, which makes me a little nervous, and I usually carry it with me and turn it on all the time." I'm going to close it. ”

Seeing Nan Qianyu's calm attitude, Mostima didn't think it was wrong: "It's okay, just take it as a memorandum witnessed by both parties." First of all, I want to confirm that the person who asked for help from the Republic is indeed Mr. Nan Qianyu, right? ”

Nan Qianyu said: "It can be said that after the death of the eldest brother, the representative of the Nan family is me." ”

Mostima asked, "What about Mr. Nan Yujin?" ”

"Second brother, he has always been unconcerned about family affairs, probably because the eldest brother is destined to inherit the family business since he was a child......" Nan Qianyu was obviously not interested in this topic, and quickly skipped it away, "In short, now I can speak to the envoy of the Republic on behalf of the Nan family!" On the other hand, I want to confirm that the two of you are indeed Jedi Knights, right? ”

Sean was the first to come closer, looking at the chest ornament and raising his hand, "I'm just an apprentice." ”

Mostima raised his hand and pulled a bouquet of blooming flowers in a vase in the corner of the private room in front of him, and with a flick of his fingers, the petals scattered in all directions.

This seemingly simple method actually contains an extremely delicate use of the Force. While this kind of acrobatic performance is juggling for most Jedi, for many people who don't know about Jedi and the Force, this simple and intuitive ability is the most effective proof of identity.

Sure enough, seeing the power of Mostima's fingers, Nan Qianyu's breathing became a little heavier: "The legend is really true!" The Force can do anything! ”

Mostima frowned when he heard this: "You know the Force? ”

Nan Qianyu said: "No, it's not me, I know almost nothing about the Force, in my impression, the so-called Force is probably the omnipotent lightssaber swordsmanship, and the legends in folk tales about your Jedi using the Force to destroy galaxies." ”

For these outright misunderstandings, the Jedi have long been accustomed to it, and many people in the closed environment have their own unrealistic legends and fantasies about the Force, and this Nan Qianyu is obviously no exception.

But now was not a good time to correct him, Mostima just nodded and motioned for Nam Qianyu to continue.

"The person who has studied the Force is my brother."

"He has been very knowledgeable since he was a child, and he is full of curiosity about everything, especially the affairs of the Republic, which is why he is constantly in contact with you, borrowing a lot of materials from the Republic, and fascinated by the study of the Force......"

However, he himself obviously has no qualifications, and in his words, he is not even a sensitive person to the Force. This kind of person doesn't let go of the big business, and prefers to study the ethereal Force, which is really hard to figure out. ”

Nan Qianyu's words seemed a little fragmented, but the Jedi master and apprentice listened and thought very carefully.

"Of course, the eldest brother is talented, and while he is distracted, he can still make the family capital flourish, and people like me who sit and wait for dividends have nothing to complain about." Nan Qianyu smiled self-deprecatingly, but then his face became serious, "But now he's dead." ”

Mostima asked, "Do you think his death had anything to do with Force research?" ”

Nan Qianyu said: "It's not that I think, but the eldest brother himself thinks so!" He was already behaving abnormally before he died! Leaving the company's affairs aside, he was absent from the internal regular meeting five times in a row, and the spirit of the whole person was terrible, and he locked himself in a remote manor, as if he was hiding from someone! ”

Mostima said, "What does this have to do with the Force? ”

"My eldest brother has a habit of keeping a diary, and after he died, I looked at his relics, and there was a very puzzling passage in them." Nan Qianyu said.

"I have long known that getting involved in this kind of taboo research will one day kill me, and I wish I could turn back, but this is undoubtedly a luxury."

Two days after this paragraph, the eldest brother was found dead in his manor, which is located in the asteroid belt, the location is hidden, there are satellite defense positions on the periphery, and there are professional security forces in the manor to watch around the clock! The eldest brother obviously had a premonition that someone was going to kill him, but alas, he died in the end. ”

Mostima looked at Nan Qianyu seriously and asked, "So you're actually suspicious of the Jedi?" ”

"I ......" Facing Mostima's gaze, Nan Qianyu suddenly felt a dry throat, and didn't even dare to look at him anymore.

He took a breath and poured himself a glass of wine from the bottle at the table—it was the size of a finger—and drank it in one gulp, the strong alcohol giving him the courage to speak.

"I do doubt you, and I think it's a reasonable judgment based on reality. I don't know anything about the Force, and my knowledge of the Jedi is limited to legends, but the eldest brother did die because of the study of the Force, and on that basis, you can't be separated! What's more, the eldest brother obviously has such a good relationship with the Republic, but he hid alone when he had a premonition of a crisis and did not ask the Republic for help, which doesn't make sense! ”

Mostima said, "But you have asked the Jedi for help on behalf of your family. ”

Nan Qianyu said: "After all, in the entire galaxy, you are the one who knows the most about the Force. Whether the killer is you or not, I want to see for myself what the person in control of the Force looks like. ”

Mostima asked, "Now that you see it, do you still think we are murderers?" ”

Nan Qianyu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I don't know, I'm not a big brother, I don't know anything about the Force and the Jedi, even if I talk to you face to face, I don't know what you're thinking." In fact, I was surprised that you came to Xia Jing so openly, I thought you wouldn't come. ”

Mostima pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Nanheli has always been an important member of the Republic, and his accidental death is full of mysteries, so we will come to investigate the truth in person. Mr. Nam Qianyu, I understand the panic in your heart, but now you need to calm down and think about all this rationally. ”

With the sound of Mostima's words, Nan Qianyu's tense nerves gradually relaxed, he poured himself another glass of wine, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's right, I should calm down......"

Mostima smiled and said, "I heard that the Dry Galaxy has two very distinctive regional cultures. One is to be wary of outsiders, who have been strongly distrustful of outsiders for countless years, which is one of the important reasons why you are so close to the Republic. Second: all barriers can be broken on the wine table, as long as you drink happily, anyone can become a friend. ”

As he spoke, Mostima picked up the bottle and poured himself a full glass, but it was a standard glass of water.
