The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2246. The Outcasts of Mandalore (Part ) [By the way, let’s learn about the customs of the Mandalorians]

"Listen to me..." Jango Fett walked over and wanted to say something, but Bo-Katan Kryze pointed a gun at his head and interrupted him.

"Shut up!" She said coldly, "I just asked this kid to take off his helmet. It has nothing to do with you."

Click~~~ A mechanical connection sound came, and Boba Fett had pressed the buttons on both sides of the helmet and took off the full-coverage helmet. Under the helmet was a young face with curly hair, dark skin, and thick lips, which was almost the same as Jango Fett.

Although his eyebrows were still a little immature, his face was full of determination at the moment. And most importantly, there was no sign of transformation on him.

At this time, Jango Fett also took off his helmet and walked over to say, "I don't require them to wear helmets all the time. Complying with the 'Six Actions' is our only code of conduct."

"Tell me what the six lines are." Bo-Katan Kryze said to Boba Fett.

Now the pistol in her hand is still pointed at his head, and without the protection of the helmet, this shot will directly blow him in the head.

"Wear the armor of Mandalorian, speak the language of Mandalorian, raise the son of Mandalorian; protect the family, dedicate to the clan, and obey the call." Boba Fett answered very fluently.

"So, did you do it?" Bo-Katan-Kryze asked coldly.

"I have no children yet, and besides that, I have pledged myself to the six lines," Boba Fett replied.

The so-called Six Lines, also known as Resol'nare in Mandalorian, are six very simple principles and the core rules of all Mandalorians since ancient times. Since the racial composition of the Mandalorians is quite complex, all those who follow the Six Lines will be regarded as part of Mandalore. Because of this, the Six Lines actually cover a very wide range. After all, different races and customs are different, and it is impossible to use a strict rule to constrain them.

The reason why Jango Fett made an additional request when joining Count Dooku's clone army plan was to have a clone who had not undergone accelerated growth as his own son was actually a reflection of his obedience to the Six Lines.

However, because the meaning of the six lines is very broad, there are many interpretations. For example, some Mandalorian clans interpret the first line of the six lines, "wear Mandalorian armor", as never taking off the helmet. The new Mandalorians, led by Satine Kryze, interpret this line as wearing the uniform Mandalorian armor when fighting.

The symbolic meaning of the helmet is actually completely different in the ancient traditions of the Mandalorians. During the ancient Mandalorian Crusades, the helmet only had meaning to Mandalore, who ruled the entire Mandalorian people. For them, the Mandalorian helmet was equivalent to a crown. Once again, the Mandalore here refers to the leader of the entire Mandalorian people.

Therefore, wearing a helmet or not does not really matter in the Mandalorian culture, it is just a different interpretation of the six lines. But the reason why many Mandalorians wear helmets most of the time is actually just a habit, or a tribute to Mandalore.

  (By the way, in the series "The Mandalorian", Bo-Katan-Kryze first called the armorer's group of "Children of Watch" a cult for this reason - because they are indeed a branch of the Death Watch, and it is not wrong to say that the Death Watch is a cult. In addition, their traditions are indeed more distorted and extreme than the normal traditions of the Mandalorians. And the Kryze family is, after all, one of the legitimate ruling families of the planet Mandalore, so Bo-Katan-Kryze is indeed qualified to sneer at the rules of the Children of Watch as she has shown. For example, the helmet, the black sword, and taking a bath in the spring to atone for sins, and so on.)

(As for the tradition of the black sword, it is just a new rule that has been passed down in the Death Watch for more than 40 years. Apart from the Death Watch, other Mandalorians do not recognize this thing at all. Of course, if there is something in the Mandalorian culture that everyone must submit to after it is taken out, there is such a thing, that is Mandalore's helmet. Of course, this is only useful during the Mandalorian Crusade era, and this is how the invincible Mandalore ascended to the throne.)

Therefore, the same six lines, with different interpretations, will express vastly different rules. In this era, the six lines actually have more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.

Hearing Boba Fett's fluent answer, Bo-Katan Kryze snorted and said, "You have raised your son to be a decent person. It's a pity that his father is just a despicable traitor."

"Boba Fett is my only hope. I have carefully trained him according to Mandalorian standards until now, just to continue the Mandalorian tradition. I have indeed betrayed the Six Lines and no longer have this qualification, but Boba is different. He is a true Mandalorian." Jango Fett said.

Bo-Katan Kryze was silent for a while, then he snorted coldly, put away his pistol, turned around and asked: "Why did you come to see me?"

"Transcendent Vizsla is slaughtering the people of Mandalore, and I can't sit idly by. But our strength alone is far from enough to stop his actions. I'm here to seek help," said Jango Fett.

"Hmph, if you just go ask the Principality of Dawn to send a fleet over here, everything will be solved." Bo-Katan Kryze said coldly.

"If I did, Mandalore would only become more chaotic. Mandalorians' problems can only be solved by Mandalorians. Astro Vizla, he touched this bottom line twice..." Jango Fett raised two fingers, "The first time, thirty years ago, he used the Jedi Knights to massacre our warriors in the Battle of Galidron. The second time, he colluded with the unknown mastermind and massacred our people. Because of these two incidents, Astro Vizla must be executed."

"So you came to me because you want me to stand up and let the Mandalorians rise up to resist and shed more blood?" Bo-Katan Kryze's tone was still cold.

"I came to you hoping to serve you as my master and be at your command. Then, we can fight against Super Vizsla together. After that, I would rather take my own life and end my blasphemous life." Jango Fett said seriously.

As he spoke, he placed his right fist on his chest, saluted solemnly, and said loudly: "This is the right way!" (End of this chapter)
