Chapter 1236 Is this Tatooine? (At the end of the month, I''m asking for monthly tickets to make a nest)
"Master, do you believe that fleet is in Tatooine?"
While driving the spaceship to Tatooin, Quigangkin''s apprentice Obi-Wan asked.
"I don''t know, Obi-Wan."
Kui Gangjin shook his head.
"It is the territory of the Hutts. It is indeed a paradise for all kinds of fugitives, but I always think things will not be that simple. Think about it, a fleet, hundreds of warships, the supplies and personnel required are astronomical. Even Tatooine may not be able to support such material consumption."
"So, is the Hutts doing the trick behind the scenes?"
Obi-Wan''s speculation is not completely unreasonable. The Hutts control the sins of the entire Galactic Republic. It can be said that these Hutts are indispensable behind all kinds of sinful acts. They can be said to be the master of the criminal empire. If the Hutts are really involved in this dispute, it is not unreasonable.
“……I always feel that things are not that simple.”
Kui Gangjin did not make a decision immediately.
"Anyway, let''s go to Tatooin and check it out."
As he spoke, the starry sky in front of him suddenly changed, and then a planet appeared in front of the two of them.
However………
"Is this... Tatooine?"
Looking at the planet in front of him, Kui Gangjin looked confused. It’s not that he has been to Tatoine. As a Jedi, Quigangkin once visited here before. In his memory, Tatoine is a drought-prone planet that is not suitable for human habitation. This is also the reason why it became a paradise for these exiles. However, what appears in their eyes now is a blue planet, and even a lush green...
"We haven''t gone to the wrong place, are we?"
“No, Master.”
Obi-Wan took a look at the star map.
"Based on the star map comparison position, this is indeed Tatooine."
“………Let’s go and have a look.”
Kui Gangjin''s face became a little serious. If it weren''t for Tatooine, but for some other planet, they just took the wrong path, it would be okay. But if it was really Tatoine here...then things might be a little wrong.
Through the atmosphere, Kui Gangjin saw a city located below, but... this once again made Kui Gangjin doubt his life.
"Is this really Tatoine?"
Looking at the city in front of him, Kuigangjin couldn''t believe his eyes. The Tatoine in his memory was a town located next to the desert. There were low mud brick buildings everywhere, which looked like Eskimo snow houses. Of course, this is also because Tatoine had drought and rain for years, so it was meaningless to build tall buildings on the ground. Most people would even rather dig holes underground to live.
There is also a lack of water resources here. Most of the people in Tatooine rely on condensers to obtain water resources. Because Tatooine has a large temperature difference between day and night, they will use condensers to collect water vapor at night and then use it to live.
But what is now presented to Kui Gangjin is a completely different city!
Under the sunlight, the two of them could clearly see green farmland everywhere on the ground, and the crops in them swayed with the wind, like waves. In the distance, forests and lakes can be seen everywhere, so this place does not look like the drought and scorching Tatooine at all, but more like a gorgeous natural planet!
Moreover, there are no low-rise dirt buildings here. Instead, they are rows of extremely exquisite and beautiful metal and stone buildings. There is a large town in the middle, and the outside of the town is circles of farmland and crops.
"We''re really not going wrong?"
"Yes, Master, at least...this is displayed on the star map."
Even Obi-Wan was a little confused.
“Titre——!”
Just as the two were hesitating, a voice suddenly came from the communication channel.
"Hello, outsiders, welcome to Tatooine. Now please follow our guidance to the tarmac."
“……………?!”
Hearing the other party''s words, Kui Gangjin was even more shocked. You should know that in the past, where Tatoyin was exiled, there were no investigation facilities at all. There is no aviation control, so it can be said that others come whenever they want and leave when they want. And now, there is still air control here? In other words, Tatooine now has a powerful ruler?
But then again, is this really Tatoine? !
"Master? What should I do now?"
“As they guide you.”
Kui Gangjin stared forward with a serious expression and spoke.
Now it seems that the situation is getting weirder.
Soon, under guidance, the two of them drove a spacecraft to a tarmac near the town and landed. Kui Gangkin and Obi-Wan walked out of the spaceship and looked around - the first thing that came towards us was the moist and fresh water vapor, which made people feel energetic. This is completely far from the dry, hot planet in Kui Gangjin''s memory.
"Are we really going to the wrong place? Master?"
Even Obi-Wan was a little suspicious of life in this situation, but Kui Gangjin shook his head.
"No, we did not go wrong."
As he spoke, Kui Gangjin raised his head and looked at the building in front of him - it was a metal building that looked like a church-style building. It doesn''t have anything special about it, but it''s not the church itself that attracts Quikongjin''s attention, but the huge metal skull carved on the church.
If Kui Gangjin remembered correctly, the warships he had seen before that claimed to be from the Inquisition also had the same mark on them.
"It seems that we have indeed found the right place."
Muttering to himself, a hint of uneasiness flashed in Kui Gangjin''s eyes.
All this is too wrong...
To be honest, if the Inquisition is a mysterious force that hides its head and tail and almost never shows up, it is also in line with Kui Gangjin''s perception. But the other party blatantly showed his existence in this way, and he didn''t care whether he would be discovered, so he had to think too much.
"Hello, dear Jedi."
At this moment, the guard in charge of the inspection also came over and nodded to Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan.
“Welcome to Tatoine.”
"Hello."
Kui Gangjin hurriedly replied to the gift, and Obi-Wan, who was standing beside him, also withdrew his gaze. Seeing this scene, the guard smiled.
"Hahaha, you two must be surprised by the changes here."
“That’s true.”
Kui Gangjin did not deny it.
"Actually, I have been to Tatooine before, and I have to say that the feeling that Tatooine now gives me is completely different from that at that time."
“Hahahaha, of course.”
Hearing Kui Gangjin''s feelings, the guard laughed proudly.
"To be honest, Tatooin was still the same as hell, but now everything is different, thanks to the Inquisition."
“………Judgement?”
Hearing this, Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan were both shocked.
Shouldn’t the Inquisition be an evil secret organization hidden in the dark?
In broad daylight, is it okay for you to say this?
"Yes, it was the Inquisition that made this planet what it is now and also allowed us to live our current lives. To be honest, I like the current life quite a bit... Oh, by the way, is there anything wrong with everyone who comes to Tatooine?"
“………………”
Listening to the guards'' talk, Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan looked at each other.
"We are here on behalf of the Galaxy Parliament, wanting to meet the rulers here and discuss things."
"no problem."
The guard answered very readily, then turned around and pointed to the building that looked like a church not far away.
"The Governor is there, you can meet him as long as you go." "Thank you, can we take a walk around the city?"
"Of course, we are still very relieved to the Jedi."
As he spoke, the guards finished registering and smiled at them again.
“I wish you a happy life in Tatooine.”
After saying this, the guard turned around and left, leaving only Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan looking at each other.
“………What should I do now? Master?”
"Anyway, let''s go to the street first."
The streets in Tatooine are flat and wide, perhaps when it rained just now, they were still a little damp. As the two of them walked along, they could feel that the atmosphere here was very leisurely and natural, and people were living their own lives, looking smiling and living a good life.
“…Obi-Wan, have you noticed any problems?”
"question?"
Hearing Kui Gangjin''s inquiry, Obi-Wan was stunned for a moment.
"I didn''t find any problem? Master."
“Look at the street.”
Standing next to the street, Kui Gangjin reached out and pointed to the crowd coming and going. Obi-Wan also turned his head and stared at the street in front of him.
“…………………Sorry, Master, I really don’t feel anything special…”
"Didn''t you find out yet?"
Kui Gangjin sighed silently. He originally thought that his disciple could be tested and resigned, but now it seems that he is still far from it.
"Along the way, we saw here, besides humans, only the Tyreks, Togrutas and Zabraks!"
“All of them are humanoid races!”
Obi-Wan also reacted after being reminded by Kui Gangjin. Indeed, if you think about it carefully, it is really strange, although there are some planets dominated by humans and humanoid races. But Tatuyin was originally a fugitive in exile in the Galactic Republic. Logically speaking, there should be a variety of races here, and there are all kinds of races. How could there be only humanoid races?
"Maybe we''ll know if we ask."
As he spoke, Kui Gangjin looked at a small house next to him and saw a boy in his teens walking out of it. He walked forward, came to the child, and smiled slightly at him.
"Hey, hello."
"Hello, hello."
The little boy was a little surprised when he saw Kui Gangjin, but he still greeted him.
"My name is Kui Gangjin, I just came here."
"Hello, my name is Anakin."
Looking at Kui Gangjin, the little boy also introduced himself.
"Are you going to settle here?"
"No, I just have something to talk about here..."
As he spoke, Kui Gangjin looked at Anakin carefully.
"I found that there seemed to be only humans and some humanoid races here. I remember that Tatoine was not like this before, what about the others?"
When asked about this topic, Kui Gangjin looked calm, but he kept looking at the little boy in front of him, wanting to see his reaction. However—the little boy''s answer surprised Kui Gangjin.
"Oh, they... were all executed by the court."
“Execution?”
"Yes."
The little boy nodded vigorously.
"The Inquisition said that these alien races are the culprits of oppressing humans and deserve death, so they were all executed."
“No one objected?”
"Of course there is, but he was also executed by the court."
“…………………”
Seeing the little boy''s answer so naturally, Qui Gangjin and Obi-Wan looked at each other.
"Do you think this is right?"
"I have no idea."
Faced with Kui Gangjin''s inquiry, the little boy shook his head.
"My mother and I used to be slaves. At that time, I hoped that the Jedi would come and liberate us. But there were no Jedi…"
Hearing this, Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan''s expressions were a little embarrassed, but the little boy didn''t care, but continued.
"But later, the Inquisition came, and they liberated us, killed those who enslaved us, and allowed us to live a good life that we had never imagined before. My previous dream was to become a Jedi, but now I have changed my mind. No matter how powerful the Jedi were, they would not fight for humans. But I want to fight for humans and eliminate the aliens that oppressed humans, so I will join the Inquisition in the future and become a Star Army! Fight to liberate humans!"
“………………”
Hearing the little boy''s words, Kui Gangjin and Obi-Wan looked at each other speechlessly, and then Kui Gangjin barely smiled.
"Thank you, that''s all I want to ask."
“Goodbye, I wish you a happy stay here.”
The little boy waved at the two of them with a smile, then turned around and left. And Kui Gangjin looked at the boy''s figure disappearing, and his expression became much more serious.
"What do you think?"
"I...Master, I don''t know what to say..."
Obi-Wan was also stunned for a moment. From the standpoint of the Jedi, he felt that the little boy''s words were wrong. After all, the Galaxy Republic is a country, and the Jedi could not favor one or the other, and specifically protect humans without caring about other alien races. However, he could not refute the other party''s words. After all, this little boy had been a slave before, but the Jedi did not save them, but the Inquisition saved them!
This... is very embarrassing.
“The situation is very serious.”
Quigangjin raised his head again and looked at the Gothic church-style building with a serious and serious look. He had just believed that the Inquisition had only threatened the Galactic Republic militarily, but now it seems that it poses an unimaginable threat to the Galactic Republic even on the political level!
Every race wants to have a patron saint, but as the little boy said, no matter how powerful the Jedi samurai is, they cannot specifically protect humans. Because in the Jedi Order, in addition to humans, there are other alien races, so naturally, we have to consider the ideas of other races.
Things like the slave trade that liberated Tatooine, in theory, were indeed what the Jedi should do. Moreover, the Galactic Republic also has anti-slave laws, and they should do this in terms of emotion and reason.
But the Jedi cannot do this.
Why?
The reason is very simple. This is the territory of the Huts. If the Jedi clashed with the Huts to liberate the slaves, it would cause turmoil to the Republic and even lead to further crises.
But for those who are slaves, will they care about these things?
Of course not. Even from the perspective of Kui Gangjin, he could not say to these slaves, "For the sake of the stability of the Galaxy Republic, please feel wronged and continue to be slaves."
But this is the limit of the Jedi.
And the Tribunal now seems to be obviously not limited to this.
The situation is probably even more complicated than they had imagined before.
Thinking of this, Kui Gangjin sighed silently.
"Let''s go and meet the governor here."
Then, he made a decision.
