The Death Knell

Adhering to a serious scientific attitude, archaeologists first want to blow up something to get a good start, because bombs are always the most convenient solution when encountering doors that cannot be opened or roads that are blocked in ancient ruins.

In the Star Wars universe, valuable relics tend to be pretty solid because they're at least second-hand.

In other words, a simple explosion will not destroy them, and the things that will be destroyed are garbage.

"Don't rush to blow up anything yet." Su Ming took out a bottle of mineral water and poured it on the princess's face. He watched her twisting and struggling in a daze, and nodded with satisfaction: "First find the way to the ground. Let's see. Look at the specifics here and find the Betzen I want.”

"So, the last time I buried the remaining bugs on Haven IV, I actually accidentally entered this planet in hyperspace?" Aphra held a bomb in her hand, thoughtfully. : "Is there something wrong with the jump engine? Or was it led here by intelligent creatures?"

Su Ming shook his head and helped the waking princess up: "Don't ask me, I didn't see you come here last time. Just think of it as luck. But it's true. If you're not lucky enough, , You should have died long ago."

"Thank you! You are so looking forward to my death." Aphra rolled her eyes, reached out and flicked Leia's earlobe to help her wake up: "Princess, how do you feel now?"

"I'm... a little dizzy, but it doesn't matter, where are we now?"

Leia was obviously still covered. She wiped her face with the sleeves of her white robe, and it took her a long time to sit up, her hair tied up on her head like a pancake.

"We don't even know where this place is." Before anyone else could tell, Su Ming told a lie: "To put it simply, we are all 'missing' now."

"Where are Han and Luke?"

Leia was shocked after hearing this and immediately looked around, but after discovering the unfamiliar environment, she had to admit the reality.

She immediately wanted to find her rebel teammates, but there were only a trio of archaeologists with worrying moral standards, and a mysterious man and woman.

"After you disappeared, we split up to look for your whereabouts, but somehow we were also thrown here. We just woke up a little earlier than you."

Su Ming winked at Harley, and Little Jelly Bean immediately hugged Leia seriously as a woman, and continued to follow Deathstroke's lies.

As she spoke, she looked directly into Leia's eyes sincerely, as if sympathy and mutual dependence were written on her face.

Look at her big sincere eyes, it's a crime to even doubt her.

The sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks on the side looked at each other and nodded silently. They had learned a new human deception, which is to tell lies with their eyes open.

Leia is Anakin's daughter, but her situation is different from Luke who was adopted by farmers. She was adopted by a noble and basically had no contact with the lower classes of society while growing up.

This causes her to only see the good side of human nature, but not the dark side of human nature, especially the fact that she easily believes what others say, she is so simple.

Hearing what Harley said, Leia had no doubt that she had it. She just nodded silently, rearranged her white dress, took out a communicator from the small satchel she was carrying, and tried playing with it a few times:

"No, we can't contact Han and the others. There is no signal here, but we should be in some building obviously. There is still energy here."

She seemed puzzled, but not panicked. She just looked at Aphra helplessly.

"Don't look at me, princess. I'm an archaeologist who gets paid to do things. Now it's the boss who is the financial backer who has the final say." The female doctor pointed at the death knell with her backhand, saying that she didn't know anything. If you want to listen to lies, you still have to look at those two Bit.

Facing the gaze that came over, Deathstroke just nodded calmly: "We are going to look for communication equipment or spaceships nearby. Does the princess want to join us? After all, there may be unknown dangers here. If we get separated, , you might die."

Princess Leia only brought a small pistol, which did not provide much sense of security. She nodded without surprise:

"Thank you, Mr. Wilson. It's better if we all act together to take care of each other."

"No, to be honest, if you don't act together, you will die, not us. I am very confident in protecting my teammates in any situation."

Su Ming walked to the door of the hall, wiped off the dust on the screen of the small console nearby, took out the Sword of Olympus from his pocket and inserted it into the metal ground at his feet with a 'click':

"So it's not about looking out for each other, it's about acting together, and you owe us a favor."

"Favor is a kind of bio-emotional bargaining chip that can be used and has an uncertain value. The best way to repay it is to discount it." San0 immediately answered. He also touched a few discolored screws next to his cheek, as if to imply something.

"Dip!" Murderous Can also said that he would just give it a discount. He wanted to replace his chain saw, but he also wanted to put a newer model of minigun in his stomach.

Robots are like this, not to mention their masters. Aphra quickly drafted a contract in embarrassment and gave it to the princess to sign: "If we can rescue you, I think it is reasonable for the rebels to pay 50,000 credits afterwards. numbers."

"We have no money..." Leia's eyes moved from Deathstroke's giant sword back to the female doctor's face. She frowned: "The funds for the rebel army are used to fight for the future of the people. If If you want to spend such a large amount of money on me, why don’t I die now.”

She showed a heroic spirit that was not afraid of sacrifice and pushed back the small book that Aphra handed over.

Seeing that the princess wanted money or her life, Aphra suddenly became furious. She suddenly tore off the simple contract from the book, turned around and cursed:

"I don't know who is in charge of money in your rebel army, but there is obviously something wrong with that person. I have wanted to say it a long time ago. You have money to buy living supplies for those alien wastes who are waiting to die, but you have no money for yourself. Do you want the pilot to improve the fighter plane? The T65B X-wing fighter actually has two cubic meters of cargo space. Whose fighter plane carries the cargo?"

"Every rebel member must contribute to the alliance. You also know that we are now targeted by the empire, and many things can only be obtained through smuggling..."

Of course Leia also knew that the X-wing had a two-cubic-meter cargo hold behind the driver's seat, and it was indeed wrong for a fighter jet to leave such a large space only for smuggling in its free time.

Space means waste. The placement of the cargo bay in a fighter jet not only increases the target of the fighter jet in combat, but also affects the speed and structural solidity.

But due to the pressure of life, it has to be used as a temporary smuggling ship.

"They say they need to overcome difficulties, they say they need to know how to sacrifice, but in fact the sacrifices are all human beings."

The ruthless Aphra sneered, hugged her arms and said heartbreaking words:

"Eight out of ten rebel pilots are humans, just because humans love to learn more. And aliens only need to say 'I can't fly a plane' and they can stay in a safe place and be taken care of? Lazy and cowardly are the opposite. Let them survive, this is why I look down on you rebels, even if you can overthrow the empire one day, you will be finished sooner or later."

"But they also need to do work, such as farming for everyone to eat, or going to the factory to make some clothes and parts." The princess didn't think there was anything wrong. She felt that those who are capable should work harder, and everyone should work hard together to achieve the goal.

Aphra shook her head speechlessly. Seeing how innocent Leia was in front of her, she even thought the princess was a little silly and adorable.

Are fighting to the death and working on the home front the same concept?

Then, she changed her mind and threatened:

"I don't care. Anyway, if the rebels are not willing to pay, I will sell you to Jabba to be a slave girl. Then there will definitely be many people willing to watch the rebel leader do a striptease..."

Hearing this threat, Leia immediately took several steps back. She covered her chest with clothes vigilantly: "You won't succeed. If you want Sana to hate you for the rest of your life, then give it a try."
