The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

357. The Chosen Son

For the next two days, Qui-Gon-Jin and his party temporarily stayed at Anakin's home, while Anakin began to think of ways to repair the Nubian T-12 hyperspace engine that he picked up before.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qui-Gon, I don't think I can repair that engine, too many parts are damaged." Anakin said with some frustration during dinner.

"It's okay Annie, you've already done your best to help us." The maid Padmé smiled and stroked Anakin's soft hair, "Tomorrow we'll look elsewhere."

Anakin's mother, Shmi-Skywalker, is a middle-aged woman who looks like she is in her 40s, although she is only in her early 30s, looking at Anakin lovingly, and then at Qui-Gon, still very careful He said, "If Annie doesn't have it here, it's basically harder for scavengers in other places to find better things. Annie is very good, and the things he finds are always the best."

Qui-Gon asked Anakin kindly, "You always find the best stuff, don't you?"

"Yes sir, I can feel that the wreckage of the spaceship is more complete every time." Anakin replied honestly, "So with Johnson's help, we can always dig up good things. The first few days I also dug up a good terminal chip the other day! I used that chip to activate C-3PO, but it’s not very convenient to move now, and it will be fine after I finish its leg structure tomorrow.”

The maid Padme said with a smile: "Is C-3PO a robot you repaired yourself? And Johnson?"

"Johnson doesn't count, because his lower body is only damaged, and his upper body is still intact. I just reinstalled his four legs. C-3PO was indeed repaired by Johnson and I." Anakin said.

"My nav droid R2-D2 gets along well with C-3PO, it seems," Padmé said.

"If I can, I'd like to see the engines on your spaceship. Maybe I can splice the parts of the two engines together so that it can be repaired," Anakin said.

"This is a very good plan." Qui-Gon nodded.

After dinner, Qui-Gon Jinn stood alone on the balcony. He passed the blood sample obtained when he bandaged Anakin's bruises in the afternoon to Obi-Wan Kenobi who stayed behind on the spaceship, and whispered, "Check this for me. A blood sample, Obi-Wan. I think I've found a very strange boy... At least from what I can tell, he has an astonishing density of midi-plasma."

Obi-Wan was silent for a while before there was an exclamation, "Master! If it wasn't for a problem with the equipment...in the blood sample you sent, the density of fibroplasma has exceeded 20,000!! This has exceeded The limit of the instrument's measurement has been reached!!"

Kui Gang-Jin's eyes deepened, "Maybe there is a possibility..."

"Master, according to Master Yoda, it can be said that a person's body can be said to be a rare genius if the density of fibrils exceeds 10,000. If it exceeds 15,000, it can basically be said to be a pure force body! And this blood sample More than 20,000! I... I don't know how to describe it... What does this mean to us?"

"I'm not sure either." Qui-Gon-Jin shook his head.

When the sound of footsteps came, Kui Gang turned off the communication, turned his head to look at the walking rock-Johnson, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? Johnson."

"Anakin picked me up from the ruins. If it wasn't for him, maybe I would have been thrown into the furnace and smelted into metal blocks like a piece of garbage." Johnson said, "Although most of my database has been destroyed , but I know that protecting him is my mission, above all other orders."

Qui-Gon nodded, "You are a very anthropomorphic robot, you must have a very advanced emotional system. Also, I am very glad that Anakin has a friend like you."

"I don't know where I came from, but 7 days ago, a mercenary from Giants Security saw me by chance. He came up to me and said I was their property and wanted to take me away, so I killed him. I can't leave Anakin." Johnson said, "These days you see the mercenaries of the giant security guards patrolling outside, that's why. So, I welded an extra helmet to my head, and put my original The features are covered up."

Under Johnson's rough helmet, a pair of red electronic eyes constantly adjusted the focus, observing Qui-Gon-Jin's every move, "But when you first met, you said I was the bodyguard robot of the fourth group, my The sensors can hear your muffled voice. Do you know my past?"

Qui-Gon-Jin looked up at the sky, recalling the fourth group of colonial groups who were helpless after being attacked by three bounty hunter spaceships and could only ask him for help, and said with a wry smile: "The fourth group, I think, isn't this What a good thing."

"Is this a criminal group?"

"No, they... are very aggressive. However, for you, this is not important." Qui-Gon-Jin turned around, looked at Johnson and said: "Your current path belongs to you. That's the most important thing."

"I think I can understand what you mean."

"When the spaceship is repaired, I hope to take Anakin away."

"Anakin likes you guys, so as long as he agrees, so do I. He should get out of this dump and have a better life."

"I mean, I hope you and C-3PO can stay and take care of his mother. It's a pity that we are not in a safe position, and your mother's situation, taking her with you may kill her."

"Why?"

"Have you ever heard of the Jedi?" Qui-Gon asked suddenly.

"I've heard that there are many rumors, good and bad. But Anakin believes that the Jedi Knights are the guardians of the galaxy. They are invincible, cutting off evil and maintaining justice." Johnson said.

"I am a Jedi Knight, and Anakin has the potential to become a Jedi Knight." Qui-Gon said.

"Should I be honored?"

"It's more of a duty, but Jedi knights can't have too many emotional fetters, which will make them worry about gain and loss, and breed the dark side in fear. So, if you become a Jedi knight, you need to stay away from your family." Qui-Gon-Jin said.

"I will respect Anakin's ideas. If he wants to become a Jedi Knight, I will take care of his mother for him, together with C-3PO. As for the fourth group, it has nothing to do with me." Johnson said .

...

At the same time, Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic.

Darth Sidious knelt down on one knee and said to the projection of Darth Plagueis in the communicator: "We have found the whereabouts of the queen of the planet Naboo, she is on the planet Tatooine, and on her By my side, there are those two Jedi Knights guarding. In this way, ordinary strength cannot achieve the goal."

"Kill those two Jedi Knights, and bring the Queen of Naboo back to sign the agreement." Darth Plagueis said coldly.

"I will send my apprentice, Darth Maul, and I hope his performance will be recognized by you this time. Only in this way, the existence of our Sith will be known to the Jedi Order." Darth Sidi Erce said.

"Hahahahaha!" Plagueis laughed, "Then let them know! The time is ripe! It's time to show our Sith existence! The fear of the Jedi Order is exactly what we plan to end Excellent condition!"
