Chapter 1233 The Messenger (The weather is too cold and I don’t want to go out for a ride)

 “Ugh…why am I so unlucky…”

 When they returned to the battleship, only Kisara looked depressed - after all, she was the most embarrassed after all. Basically, all the aliens on Tatooine were killed by Duanmuhuai, while the others had already had experience and stayed away. Only Kisara was new and unfamiliar, and he was sprayed all over Xiao Meiyan without even reacting.

 It can be said that it is extremely unlucky.

“It would be nice to take a shower and change clothes.”

Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously, and Mu Geng just glared at Duanmu Huai with a resentful look, and then left straight away. Seeing this scene, others could only smile helplessly... After all, nothing was appropriate in this occasion.

 “Ah, uncle.”

At this moment, Aikote came over and waved excitedly to Duanmuhuai.

“We received a communication from someone who claimed to be a messenger from the Galactic Republic and wanted to talk to us!”

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then looked at An.

 “Your method really works.”

 “I didn’t expect it to be so fast either.”

Although An seemed calm on the surface, he was somewhat surprised. It was actually An's idea for the Inquisition to stay on Tatooine. According to An, it is generally difficult for such conservatives to appear openly. They can be found in places like slums and black markets. Their eyes and ears. Duanmu Huai and others came to the Galactic Republic for the first time and were unfamiliar with the place, so they could only choose Tatooine as their temporary destination through the Galactic Republic's network.

  After all, this place is where wandering criminals hang out and gather, and it is also out of reach of the Galactic Republic. Therefore, if the conservatives have any informants in the dark, they will usually be in this kind of place... Now it seems that An Ge was right?

 “Let him in.”

 “Okay, uncle.”

Returning to the bridge, it didn't take long for Duanmuhuai to see a middle-aged and elderly man wearing a cloak with snow-white hair and beard walking in. When he saw Duanmuhuai sitting on the throne in the center, the old man was stunned for a moment. , and then bowed his head respectfully.

"Hello, my name is Dooku, and I am here to represent my master to deliver his message to you."

As he spoke, Dooku stretched out his hand and took out a small disc like a dressing mirror. The next moment, a 3D image of a man also wearing a cloak and looking older than Dooku emerged from it. .

 “I’m sorry to meet you in this form.”

The old man looked at Duanmuhuai. Although his face could not be clearly seen under the hood, his chin and mouth were still clearly visible.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Darth Sidious.”

 “Duanmu Huai, the Grand Judge of the Inquisition.”

Staring at the image, Duanmu Huai said calmly.

 “Your Excellency, the Inquisitor.”

 The old man chuckled.

“I greatly admire what you have done on the planet Naboo. You have eliminated the trade alliance that tried to blockade the planet Naboo and maintained peace and justice in this universe...”

 “The Inquisition does not care about justice and peace.”

Duanmuhuai waved his hand, interrupting Darth Sidious's words.

"The Tribunal only cares about human beings. Any existence that threatens humanity must be eliminated. This is the creed of our Tribunal. It is also the reason why we destroy the fleets of those lowly alien bastards. I don't care who is right or wrong, but anyone who dares Races that take action against humans are all enemies of the Tribunal.”

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai snorted coldly and looked at the old man.

“Okay, let’s forget all the nonsense about those scenes. Why did you come to me? Just open the skylight and speak frankly.”

　　………Hahahahahahaha.”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.

“I see, I see, it seems that you are indeed the descendants of the goddess’s bodyguards.”

　　　…………?”

  What is the Goddess Guard?

Duanmu Huai looked at the others in confusion, and everyone also gave a look with the same question mark. Lumière made a gesture, indicating that he would investigate later.

 Well, it’s up to her.

The old man did not dwell on this topic, but quickly explained his purpose to Duanmu Huai. To put it simply, apart from the corruption and incompetence of the Galaxy Parliament, in the final analysis, he hoped that Duanmu Huai could cooperate with him. , seize the power of the Galactic Parliament! Turn the entire Galactic Republic into a Galactic Empire!

Darth Sidious's straightforwardness also appealed to Duanmuhuai's taste. It's just that all the nonsense has a purpose. It would be better to directly point out the central idea. As for the other party's desire to seize power, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about such trivial matters, because he has only one purpose in coming here, and that is to eliminate the alien race as much as possible and increase the progress of natural disasters. From this point of view, this careerist is really of some use to Duanmu Huai.

“So what you’re saying is that you want the Inquisition to assist you in seizing the rule of the Galactic Republic?”

 After listening to the old man's story, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

 “So, will you promise to build a country with humanity at its core?”

 “Of course, Your Majesty the Inquisitor.”

 The old man nodded slightly.

 “If that’s the case, then we do have a basis for cooperation.”

 Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and then made a decision. When he heard Duanmu Huai’s decision, the old man also showed a smile. "In that case, would you like to come to Coruscant to discuss it with me in person?"

"teacher?"

Hearing the old man's invitation, Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, but the messenger was slightly surprised, but he quickly lowered his head and stopped talking.

"No problem at all."

 Duanmu Huai also feels that face-to-face interviews are the most convenient. It’s good to be ambitious. Only ambitious people can get along well with the Tribunal. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai was the most annoying to the Taoist priests. Many times those **** were simply holding him back. As long as careerists are not tainted by evil gods, they will be much easier to work with than defenders of the Inquisition.

"Then I'll be waiting for you on Coruscant."

 Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the old man smiled again.

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I suggest that you take the ship of my apprentice Count Dooku to Coruscant. After all, what you did on the planet Naboo has attracted great attention from the Galactic Council and the Jedi Council. If you take your own battleship Going to Coruscant may cause unnecessary trouble, and my apprentice... still has a certain reputation and status in Coruscant, so I can ensure that you arrive safely."

 “Then it’s settled.”

The two parties exchanged a few brief words, and then Duanmuhuai signaled Count Dooku to go back first, and they were ready to set off. Naturally, the latter would not object and returned to the hangar obediently under the leadership of the maid.

 “That old man is not simple.”

 After Count Dooku left, An quickly expressed his opinion.

"I think he must be a member of that parliament, and he has been planning to seize power. He is very ambitious and courageous. He is willing to cooperate with us without even knowing our identity. Such a person is really It’s very difficult to deal with.”

“But, didn’t he say that the Galactic Parliament is very corrupt now?”

Xiao Meiyan blinked.

 “Is he lying to us?”

 “It doesn’t matter.”

 An shook her head.

"No matter what kind of regime, there is bound to be a certain degree of corruption, just a certain amount. For a large country like the Galactic Republic, with hundreds of races, it would be surprising to say that there is no corruption at all within it. Even in Manalia, I don't believe that the ministers and nobles below are all good people with no selfish intentions. The country is like a person. A person will always get sick, but the degree and frequency of illness are different. You can't just say that. If a strong person catches a cold, let’s just say he is a sick person.”

 “Politics is really complicated...”

 Hearing An's explanation, Mary couldn't help but sigh. To be honest, she felt that it was better to fight the evil **** than communicate with politicians...

“Ann and Mary are coming with me this time, and the others will stay where they are.”

Duanmu Huai didn't care, and quickly made a decision. An was his think tank and specialized in politics. In this regard, Duanmu Huai basically doesn't have any brains now. He completely listens to An's advice and does whatever An says. Just like Mary said with emotion, Duanmu Huai doesn't like to engage in politics. Professionals do professional things. As a princess, An's political negotiations are all basic. If An can't handle it, Duanmu Huai will... Oh, Duanmu Huai can at least convince people with his reasoning.

That’s okay.

“By the way, Ji Ling, you are responsible for leading a team of night guards down there to clean up this planet.”

Before leaving, Duanmu Huai also patted his head, then looked at Zhen Ji Ling and gave another order.

"I heard before that there is a man named Jabba on this planet who is very annoying, and there are many alien **** who capture humans as slaves. This is absolutely not allowed by the Inquisition. You should know what to do."

 “Understood, big brother, leave it to me.”

 The reason why Zhen Ji Ling is allowed to lead the team is because Zhen Ji Ling can now be regarded as the public relations minister of the Tribunal. With Zhen Ji Ling's superior charm, it should be no problem to help the Tribunal open a path in this star field.

However, just as Duanmu Huai finished giving the order, he saw Ojis hugging Duanmu Huai's arm next to him, and then climbed up as nimbly as a monkey and sat on Duanmu Huai's shoulders. It was a matter of course - even though Duanmu Huai didn't call her.

 “Okay, let’s go.”

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently, what else could he do with his little cotton-padded jacket? No matter if you bring it with you, at least on the surface it can make the other party relax their vigilance, right?

Everyone had gone out a lot, so they didn’t need to make any preparations. Soon Duanmu Huai led the three of them to the hangar and saw Count Dooku’s spaceship. Of course, although this thing was called a spaceship, it was not considered a spaceship in the name of the Tribunal. It was pitifully small by the standards, only a few tens of hundred meters long at most, and Count Dooku didn't talk nonsense. When he saw Duanmu Huai and others arriving, he greeted them respectfully, and then drove the spacecraft away. Battleship of the Inquisition.

Frankly speaking, Duanmu Huai has little hope for the technological level of this Galactic Republic, and is mentally prepared to take the green train. But what Duanmu Huai didn't expect was that the other party actually surprised him!

 “Hey guys, can such a small spaceship travel faster than the speed of light?”

 Looking at the flashing light strips outside, Duanmuhuai felt somewhat emotional. Many civilizations can travel faster than the speed of light, but generally speaking, even for space civilizations, they are basically able to travel faster than the speed of light on main ships, like the Normandy in the Star Alliance.

But faster-than-light navigation is very common in this Galactic Republic. Even this small spacecraft that looks like a simple shuttle has the ability to sail at faster-than-light speed!

I have to say that this really surprised Duanmu Huai.

How do you choose the technology tree of the Galactic Republic? are you crazy? Who installs a racing engine on a bicycle?

On the way, Lumière also sent Duanmuhuai information about the Goddess Guard. Only then did Duanmuhuai know that a thousand years ago, the Galactic Republic also produced a Vandier and a variant. The Sisters of Battle?

Of course, this side is much luckier than Van Dier of the state religion, who was not overthrown until the 19th century.

Unlike Vandire, the emperor's bride he raised was chopped to pieces with a single sword.

Past experience guide for the future.

After reading the information sent by Lumière, Duanmuhuai took a deep breath and nodded silently.

 This time, we can’t be overthrown again, we must learn a lesson once and for all.

At the same time that Duanmu Huai made a decision silently, the light beam in front of him also disappeared, and then, a huge, radiant planet appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

That is Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic.
