The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2182. The Origin of the Mind Harp

However, even if the two sides of the civil war have temporarily ceased fire, the fundamental problem has not been solved - the Koroks have given up fighting against Mnggar-Mnggar. They just want to linger on on their own planet, hoping that Lugubula can help them eat all the Mnggar-Mnggar who invaded the planet.

In addition, many Koroks want to attack the Normandy, because this ship seems to have a high-level hyperspace engine and can fly through the blockade of Mnggar-Mnggar to the outside world.

Shepard has negotiated with the Elders many times, but they all refused to lend the Mind Harp, and even did not want Shepard to touch this artifact.

There was no way, so Shepard had to discuss it with Vishal.

Vishal is indeed an outlier among the Koroks. He has devoted his life to destroying Mnggar-Mnggar, and he is not interested in the conspiracies and calculations among the Koroks. He has done a very extensive study on Mnggar-Mnggar, but still has not found a way to completely destroy it.

After the discussion, Vishal told Shepard that no one knew how to activate the Mind Harp. In the thousands of years since the Koroks got the artifact, no one has been able to activate it.

But the problem is that after activating the Mind Harp, an isolation field can be generated that isolates all energy and signals on the planet, thereby cutting off the connection between all the clones of Mnggal-Mnggal on the planet and the core, turning those clones into real mud. Where did this statement come from?

And with the long lifespan of the Koroks, the person who originally proposed this statement may still be alive.

So, with the help of Vishal, Shepard began to visit everywhere. At this time, Shepard has become a bully on the planet Kraku. They have a powerful spaceship like the Normandy, and the Koroks can't crack the cloaking device of the spaceship at all; and there are two ghost agents, Sen Luo and Death, excellent fighters like Ashley Williams and Kayden Alanko, and elites of the Fourth Legion like Huang Yehao, and legendary heroes like Shepard.

During the journey to Kraku, Shepard also felt that her psychic power was gradually awakening, which made her power stronger.

In addition, the act of forcibly stopping the civil war made the entire Korok people fear Shepard. It is also because of this that she and Vishal can move freely, visit and investigate everywhere, and do not encounter any obstacles.

Finally, Shepard and Vishal found an old Korok who lived in a corner of the city and was unwilling to participate in the fight. Maybe he was very old, but for the Korok people, there is no concept of "old". "Old man" is what Shepard called him.

The old man told Shepard and Vishal that he found the Mind Harp. At that time, he sold the Mind Harp for a super high price, and the saying that the Mind Harp could isolate Mnggal-Mnggal was what he used to raise the price.

Because the threat of Mnggal-Mnggal had just appeared at that time, the Korok people were very actively preparing to eliminate this potentially fatal threat. So such an artifact that can target Mnggal-Mnggal is naturally very suitable.

"So, this artifact can isolate Mnggal-Mnggal's control over the clone, and it's just a lie?" Shepard was a little discouraged when he heard this.

However, the old man shook his head and said, "It's not a complete lie, powerful human. I found the Mind Harp in a relic."

"Where is the relic?" Shepard asked quickly.

"At that time, the situation on Kraku was not so bad, and occasionally there were some temporary hyperspace channels connected, allowing us to go to the satellite dwarf system where Kamino is located, and then go to the outside world." The old man said that people in the unknown star field call the Milky Way outside the unknown star field the outside world, and the place where they are called chaos.

"So, at that time, I traveled in the outside world for a period of time and met many people. And for a few years, I traveled around with a group of explorers. One time, we came to a galaxy called Rafa." The old man continued, "The gravitational environment of this galaxy is very complex. There are eleven planets, but according to our standards, all eleven planets are non-habitable planets. However, the most amazing thing is that there are a lot of ruins on all eleven planets."

"The ruins of a lost civilization?" Shepard asked.

"Yes. A civilization called Sharu. This civilization conservatively estimated that it existed 100,000 years ago, but they did not have a strong expansion. When the Killik Swarm swept the entire galaxy, they just lived in a corner, did not participate, and did not fight against the Killik Swarm. And because of its remote location, the Killik Swarm probably didn't really want to conquer it." The old man said, "But other than that, we don't know more about this Sharu civilization."

"The Mind Harp, is it found there?" Shepard asked again.

"Yes." The old man nodded. The illusion he formed was of an old human man about the same height as Shepard. "There are colonies of the Saru civilization all over the eleven planets in the Rafa galaxy. They should have a very special Advanced technology allows us to settle on planets with harsh environments. Then, on the fifth planet, we found a very huge pyramid building that is even close to 10,000 meters high in outer space. See clearly. The Soul Harp is placed on the top of this huge pyramid."

The old man continued: "At that time, there was a Wookiee in our team. He was very reckless. He flew over in a shuttle and took down the mind harp. I don't know what he did. The moment he took off the harp, , the entire planet is covered by a strange radiation, and all signals and energy are blocked! Even the radiation from the star cannot reach the planet! "

He said this with some lingering fear, "And at that moment, we heard someone speaking in our heads. He spoke very fast, and he used Galactic Standard Language, but we didn't write down much of it. I only know that this thing is called the Soul Harp, and I also know that they are the Saru civilization. At the same time, this Soul Harp can completely protect a planet. "

"Then you brought the Mind Harp back?" Shepard asked next.

"The anomalies on Planet Rafa were quickly noticed by the Galactic Republic. They immediately sent an exploration team, so we ran away." The old man said, "Many things happened in the middle... In short, our team also Split, they fought each other to get the mind harp... But, I won."

The old man who had formed the illusion looked up to the sky, and said with some emotion, "Then, I brought the soul harp back to the planet Krakul, and remade the words I heard in my mind. Let me tell you, this is a hundred It was an artifact that was thousands of years old and could isolate Mongar-Menggar from control. Later, it was sold at a high price." (End of this chapter)
