The Death Knell

The corpses in the castle are getting denser, but so far, we haven't seen any enemies that these Jedi were fighting against during their lifetimes. Or is it simply a civil war between each other?

All the remains were of Jedi wearing brown robes and holding lightsabers. The closer to the basement, the more corpses were on the road. Even dozens of meters away from the door, everyone had to climb the corpses in the narrow corridor. A mountain of mountains.

But fortunately, these corpses are elastic, jumping around is quite fun, and they feel good on the feet.

The basement door was much simpler than the castle door. Su Ming punched it through with a casual punch, then opened the passage like tearing paper, and everyone jumped into the basement from there.

Just as Aphra guessed, ancient people did like to put energy equipment in the basement when they built castles. There is a set of equipment here that looks a bit like a boiler.

There were some corpses scattered around the equipment, but the battle obviously did not affect the equipment. It just looked a little old, with about a few centimeters of dust falling on it.

"The air is circulating, there may be corrosion problems, San0, clean it."

She didn't panic when she had a robot. Aphra let the housekeeper work first, while she held her arms and walked around the machine.

It is filled with various pipes, both thick and thin. It looks like a large chimney, with sixteen operating panels and a diameter of about thirty meters.

"The cleaning work is done, I cleaned it very well." San0 put away the flamethrower in his hand and showed the owner the brand new and shiny operating panel behind him: "It's still warm, please use it, master."

"Hiss, it's a bit hot, but it's safer to do this for disinfection. After all, there are too many corpses here. I suspect the dust is all skin flakes on their bodies."

Aphra began to operate the energy system, while BT also assisted.

"Really? Master, those dust are..." The corners of Mary's mouth curved downwards, and she patted her shoulders uncomfortably.

"Jingxin, my apprentice, they are also human beings, just like us, but they are not alive. Don't be taboo about the existence of zombies. This is just proof that they have lived."

Aoife put his hand on his student's shoulder and took the opportunity to teach.

"Need some fuel, boss boss, do you see the feeding port at the end of the pipe over there? I need someone to throw some force crystals or stuff a Jedi into it."

The archaeologist fiddled with the equipment for a while, then turned around and said he needed help.

There were plenty of crystals. I had dug a lot of them in the mine before. Those with mottled colors or smaller sizes were of little value. Su Ming filled a handful directly into the charging port.

Almost at the same time as the material was being loaded, the surrounding environment instantly lit up with the hum of the machine.

The ceiling began to glow, and then turned into an image of blue sky and white clouds. Those clouds could still move, all simulating the scenery that could be seen on a habitable planet.

Everyone seemed to be bathing in the sunshine, and the feeling of coldness also subsided a lot.

Because the power was restored, all the locked compartment doors were opened, and the mountain of corpses blocking the basement door fell in. The corpses still bounced and rolled on the ground for a long distance.

A complicated electronic projection mural appeared on the wall nearby. It was a stained glass window style, slightly abstract portrait of a man.

The man was wearing a brown robe, holding a golden lightsaber in his hands. His white hair on his shawl was flying in the wind, and his eyes were tightly closed on his handsome face.

The background behind him is a very complex pentagonal emblem. Inside the pentagon is a dense maze-like pattern, but this is obviously not the emblem of a Jedi. The symbol of the Jedi is a lightsaber and a pair of wings.

"Eternal Rule." Aphra wiped her nose with her thumb. She slowly walked into the mural and observed: "But I can't understand this symbolic emblem. I haven't seen it before. How about you, Master Ao Fei?"

"I don't know him either." The Jedi Master approached with his apprentice and shook his head after observing: "There used to be many factions within the Jedi, and it is said that different temples had different research projects."

"There is no use studying this. Since it is said to be Eternal Ruel, do you think he is dead now?"

Su Ming stretched out a finger and pointed at everyone's heads.

Aphra stiffened for a moment, then rubbed her nose and said, "If he sucked the lives of everyone, then I guess he is still alive. But why? This is his fortress, and the Jedi here should be his apprentices. Or friend, why do you do this?”

"Probably because he is a scientist?" Harley's eyes lit up and she put forward her own point of view: "Think about it, scientists can do anything. They are completely inhumane, just like your father."

"It makes sense. He can't even be considered a human being." Aphra looked like she had been told what was said to her heart, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

"You can also drive to Aphra's father? Ahem, forget it, let's go upstairs and have a look." Su Ming almost laughed out loud. He quickly pulled Ha Li and told her to relax. : "Aphra, don't worry about it. Let's see if we can find any information through the control panel here."

"I'm not crazy. It's really just because my father is not human." The archaeologist sighed. She turned to the console and shook her head after some operations: "No, the center is still not turned on, only energy and lighting. Once it recovers, the most I can do is open the elevator."

"That's enough, let's move." Deathstroke turned the God Killer back into a scimitar, and first walked towards the open door on the wall.

The elevator went all the way up, and within ten seconds everyone arrived at the top of the castle. When they opened the door in front of them, they saw a world surrounded by crystal stones.

This architectural structure reminded Su Ming a little of the interior of Icecrown Fortress. There was a huge crystal cluster inserted upside down in the middle, and except for a few suspension bridges connecting the crystal clusters, there was a large hollow nearby.

Even though everyone just came up from below, standing here and looking down, you can directly see the cosmic space below the suspended continent.

Aphra took a step back and looked at the elevator behind her to make sure she was on the right track, and suddenly fell into the chaos of space.

Deathstroke patted her on the shoulder and told the truth: "Don't think nonsense. This suspended circular hall is located in real space. We left hyperspace through the elevator and are now in the real galaxy."

"Is this okay? When can the elevator be used for jumps?" Aphra covered her face. In just one day, many of her common sense in the past were overturned.

"As long as there is enough energy, anything is possible." Su Ming looked into the distance calmly. He sensed the source of the chill from the force, as well as the extremely strong vitality: "Don't be dazed, Ruel is still alive. , if you don’t want to have your life taken away, prepare to fight.”
