The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2246. The Abandoned Child of the Planet Mandalore (Part 2) [By the way, let’s learn about the customs of the Mandalorians]

"Listen to me..." Jango Fett walked over and wanted to say something, but Bo-Katan Kryze pointed a gun at his head with his backhand, interrupting him.

"Shut up!" She said coldly: "I asked this kid to take off his helmet. It has nothing to do with you."

Click~~~ There was a sound of mechanical connection. Boba Fett had pressed the buttons on both sides of the helmet and took off the full-coverage helmet. Under the helmet, there is a young face with curly hair, dark skin, and thick lips. He is almost the same model as Jango Fett.

Although his eyebrows were still a little immature, his face was full of determination at this moment. And the most important thing is that there is no trace of transformation on him.

At this time, Jango Fett also took off his helmet and came over and said: "I did not require them to always wear helmets. Complying with the 'Six Actions' (Six Actions) is our only code of conduct."

"Tell me, what are the six elements." Bo-Katan Kryze said as he stood up to Boba Fett.

Now the pistol in her hand was still pointed at his head, and without the protection of the helmet, this shot would be a direct headshot.

"Wear the Armor of Mandalore, speak the language of Mandalore, raise the sons of Mandalore; protect your family, dedicate yourself to your clan, and obey your calling." Boba Fett answered very fluently.

"So, did you do it?" Bo-Katan Kryze asked coldly.

"I don't have any children yet, and other than that, I swear by the Six Elements as my own code." Boba Fett replied.

The so-called Six Elements, also called Resol'nare in the Mandalorian language, are very simple six rules and are the core rules of all Mandalorians since ancient times. Since the racial composition of the Mandalorians is quite complex, all people who follow the Six Elements will be considered a part of Mandalore. Because of this, the six elements actually cover a very wide range. After all, different races have different habits and customs, so it is impossible to restrict them with a strict rule.

The reason why Jango Fett put forward an additional requirement when he joined Count Dooku's clone army program was to have a clone that had not undergone growth acceleration as his son was actually a manifestation of his compliance with the Six Elements.

However, because the meaning of the six elements is very broad, there are many interpretations. For example, some clans among the Mandalorians interpret the first of the six lines, "Wear the Mandalorian Armor," to mean that the helmet should never be taken off. As for the new Mandalorians led by Satine Kryze, their interpretation of this article is to wear unified Mandalorian armor when they need to fight.

The symbolic meaning of the helmet is actually completely different in the ancient traditions of the Mandalorians. During the ancient Mandalorian Crusades, the helmet only had meaning for Mandalore, who ruled the entire Mandalorian people. For them, the Mandalorian helmet was equivalent to a crown.

Again, Mandalore here refers to the leader of the entire Mandalorian people.

Therefore, wearing a helmet or not actually doesn't matter in Mandalorian culture, it's just a different interpretation of the six lines. But the reason why many Mandalorians wear helmets most of the time is actually just habit, or a tribute to Mandalore.

(By the way, in the episode "The Mandalorian", Bo-Katan Kryz initially called the Armorer's group of 'Watching Sons' a cult, and that's why - because they are indeed the Grim Reaper. As a branch of the Guardian, there is nothing wrong with saying that the Death Guard is a cult. In addition, their traditions are indeed much more twisted and extreme than the normal traditions of the Mandalorians, and the Kryze family is a reasonable and legal Mandalorian after all. One of the ruling families of the planet, so Bo-Katan Kryze is indeed qualified to sneer at the rules of the Watch Children as she showed, such as helmets, black swords, and bathing in springs. Atonement, etc.)

(As for the tradition of the Black Sword, it is just a new rule that has lasted for more than forty years in the Death Guard. Except for the Death Guard, other Mandalorians do not recognize this thing at all. Of course, if it is true If there is anything in Mandalorian culture that everyone must surrender to, it does exist, and that is the Mandalorian helmet. Of course, this is only useful during the Mandalorian Crusade era. This is how the Invincible Mandalore ascended to the throne.)

Therefore, the same six lines, with different interpretations, show very different rules. In today's era, the six lines actually have more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.

Hearing Boba Fett's fluent answer, Bo-Katan Kryze snorted and said, "You did raise your son up to be a decent person. It's a pity that his father is just a despicable traitor."

"Boba Fett is my only hope. I have carefully trained him according to Mandalorian standards so far, just to continue the Mandalorian tradition. I have indeed abandoned the Six Elements and no longer have this qualification, but Boba Unlike Ba, he is a true Mandalorian," Jango Fett said.

Bo-Katan Kryze was silent for a while, then snorted coldly, put away his pistol, turned around and asked, "Why did you come to me?"

"Superman Vizsla is slaughtering the people on Mandalore. I can't sit idly by. But our power alone is far from stopping his actions. I'm here to ask for help." Jango Fett said.

"Hmph, if you ask the Principality of Dawn to send a fleet directly, everything will be solved." Bo-Katan Kryze said coldly.

"If I do this, Mandalore will only be more chaotic. The problems of the Mandalorians can only be solved by the Mandalorians. Super-Vizla, he touched this bottom line twice..." Jango-Fett raised two fingers, "The first time, thirty years ago, he used the Jedi Knights to massacre our warriors in the Battle of Galidron. The second time, he colluded with the unknown mastermind and massacred our people. Because of these two things, Super-Vizla must be executed."

"So you came to me, hoping that I would stand up and let the Mandalorians rise up to resist and shed more blood?" Bo-Katan-Kryze's tone was still cold.

"I came to you, hoping to serve you as my master and be driven by you. Then, we will fight against Super-Vizla together. After that, I would rather make my own decision and end my blasphemous life." Jango-Fett said seriously.

As he spoke, he placed his right fist on his chest, saluted solemnly, and said loudly: "This is the right way!" (End of this chapter)
