Chapter 41 The plot begins
Jedi Master Quigang Kim walks in the town in a low-key manner, following the orders of the Jedi High Council, to mediate the dispute between the Trade Alliance and Naboo. The most revered Jedi Master in the Star Wars universe, who has traveled far and wide to mediate for the sake of peace between the two sides, is now the protector of Queen Naboo.
After Naboo's crushing defeat in the war with the Trade Alliance, Her Majesty, the crown on her head, whose only hope was the mediation and support of the Republic, had to temporarily dock on the planet Tatooine after their ship was hit by the engine in order to escape the pursuing Trade Alliance forces.
The venerable master had a vague sense that an imminent crisis was approaching, and that the Force had led him here, as if waiting for something.
Quigang King walked down the street in a low-key manner, with his apprentice Obi-Wan behind him, and a 'maid' sent by the Queen, who was very familiar with a remote planet like Tatooine, and knew that it was easy to make a fuss here, and just wanted to find a suitable engine replacement and get out of here quickly.
Time is running out for Naboo, and the Trade Alliance is killing and plundering every moment on Naboo, and Quegang King's heart is full of anxiety.
Kuigang Kim led them through the alleys, stopping from time to time to ask some of the local residents, and soon he learned that the only way to find such an unusual part was to go to the small shop of Wotu.
"Wotu's shop is the most complete part of the place, and if you can't find what you need there, there's basically no hope!" An old local resident replied with a grinning yellow tooth.
He said meaningfully: "Where is the little shop in Wotu?" As long as you are not blind, you can find it, and if you want me to say, you should go early, or Wotu will make a fortune and close his doors and go home! Hahaha! Or get caught by Jabba! ”
As the group left the crazy local, Obi-Wan stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, is he reliable?" ”
"The Force sued me that he didn't lie and hide it." Kuigang King threw down a sentence and walked quickly to the front, and the 'maid' next to Obi-Wan frowned, a little displeased, and complained in his heart: Such a crazy person, even if he does not lie, what he says may not be reliable!
A few people turned around the street and immediately understood what it meant to "be found without being blind" - dozens of mercenary pirates of different shapes and sizes were crowded together in a chaotic manner, "Wotu! The name was shouted several times by those loud voices in just a few minutes.
The rude men were either angry or impatient and noisy, and a tall lizardman with a rough voice hissed, "Wotu! Open the door! You have the courage to shut us out, and you have the courage to open the door! ”
"That's right!" Someone in the crowd chimed in: "Wotu, you profiteer with no conscience, the master's works are monopolized by you at a high price, this must not be the master's intention, Wotu, open the door quickly, we have money to buy your things!" ”
The crowd suddenly boiled, shouting Wotu's name, and even shouted in unison: "If you don't give us the opportunity to buy the master's work, we will slam the door!" ”
"Slam the door!" The crowd was noisy, and everyone was crowding frantically towards a dilapidated alloy gate with large stones and bricks in their hands, and Obi-Wan tried to go up, but was stopped by Quigang King.
Suddenly, the alloy gate was violently pushed open, and a man with horns with a hideous face strode out, shouting at the crowd outside: "What are you doing? What are you muttering about? It's all dead, isn't it? Wotu said, not today, please be early tomorrow, you pull down, you guys! ”
A trembling old Mocha man stood in front of him, raised the iron hook of his right hand, and pierced the stone under the feet of the horned man, "Cumming horse! You stupid European guest, get out of the way, we're here to talk to Woto! Do you want to eat my scythe? ”
The old man waved the steel hook, and the small alloy chain shot out with a high-frequency probe hook, grabbing an alloy plate dozens of meters away, and a fist-sized plate was caught.
Such a power made the people on the side secretly frightened, worthy of being an old mercenary of Tatooine, half of his feet were in the coffin, and he was still fighting for his life on the battlefield.
The horned big man just snorted coldly, the broken horns on his head lit up slightly, and a stream of extremely fast particles blinded everyone's eyes, looking at the bottomless black hole in front of the old man Mocha, the people in front of him couldn't help but take a step back together, looking forward to it and looking at the silver metal horn on the big man's head with fear.
The horned man glanced around, as if satisfied with their fearful expressions, "Deflated three! Let's be honest! The master's work is not something you can afford, hahaha! He laughed and touched his silver horn and walked away triumphantly.
Obi-Wan heard someone whisper, "What's so great about him, he wasn't a garbage picker before?" But luckily, I bought a limited edition accessory, and this went berserk. ”
"Be quiet, you can't kill him now!"
Obi-Wan looked back at his teacher with a solemn face, only to see Kuigang King nodding slightly to him, turning around and leaving here, Obi-Wan followed, but he was very puzzled in his heart, the laser device on the horned man was very dangerous and powerful, and such modifications were forbidden in the Republic.
I don't know how there could be someone here who could make such a military-grade weapon.
"The Force told me that the laser on his head was alive. Like the laser bugs that survive the spaceport, it is something alive. Kuigang King said calmly, and under his leadership, everyone turned around and approached Wotu's shop from the other direction, and came to the front of the back wall.
Kuigang Jin stretched out his hand and pressed on the wall, and the whole person quickly jumped up the wall, and jumped into the courtyard smartly, only to see an eight or nine-year-old boy standing not far away, looking at him in surprise.
The Force probe did not find the boy, and King felt a little uneasy, and he waved his hand to test the boy, only to find that the boy had an amazing affinity for the Force. A sense of the unknown from the Force also reminded him that this might be the child of balance.
"Hello! Little sir! "I just wanted to buy something, and the front door was blocked." ”
"Hello, Master!" This is the shop in Wotu, what are you going to buy? Anakin politely asked, his status as a free man, but the cunning Wotu took advantage of some small favors to force him to agree to another month's work, squeezing the last of his value.
"What are you doing here?" Wotu scurried from a distance, and Quigang King noticed the electromagnetic wings behind it, and his pupils shrank slightly.
Quigang King stepped forward to explain his intentions, and when he heard that he was not looking for the work of the 'master', Wotu's face relaxed, but when he heard that they were going to buy something, Wotu's face shrugged again.
"You're too late, my shop has already changed careers, and the old goods have been disposed of, so let's go! Don't sneak in! Wotu waved them away.
But Anakin on the side said curiously: "His things are mortgaged to my teacher, do you have any urgency?" If I'm short on time, I can ask the teacher if I can sell something to you. ”
Wotu angrily drove a few people aside, he didn't dare to reprimand Anakin again, so he could only glare at a few people thickly, and simply turned away.
"Can you introduce your teacher to us?" Quigang King leaned down and asked.
"The teacher is very busy, and although he usually does not refuse other people's requests, he is rarely willing to meddle with things, so you should wait around here! I'll ask the teacher and I'll get back to you. Anakin replied sincerely.
"Is there any way you can contact him now!" The 'maid' on the side interjected, "We really have an emergency!" ”
"Okay, I'll give it a try! But don't get your hopes up, I haven't seen my teacher in weeks, and he's so busy that he can't sleep or eat. ”
Anakin turned and went into the house, and after a while he walked out confused.
"It's strange that the teacher promised to see you!" He scratched his head and said to them.
"Come with me!"
Quegang King and Obi-Wan glanced at each other and followed Anakin out of Wotu's shop.
