The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1445. The Story of the Sith (Part 2)

Palpatine turned his head to look at Anakin's bewildered expression, sneered secretly, but still said sincerely, "Yes, that's right... I became the speaker of the Galactic Republic. Since I took office, I have sanctioned corrupt officials, rectified Institutions, let the authority of the Republic be further strengthened... I lead the Republic to fight against separatism! I have integrated every resource of the Republic, snatched these precious national assets from those greedy corporate giants, and used them for the great cause of Galaxy System One... ..."

He grabbed Anakin Skywalker's skirt suddenly, "So you say, did I do something wrong? Even as a Sith Lord, I am the Speaker of the Republic, did I do something wrong?"

Anakin-Skywalker took a few steps back in a panic, and pulled back his skirt, his lips moved, not knowing what to say.

But his expression revealed his inner thoughts-he didn't think Palpatine was incompetent as the Speaker of the Republic.

Palpatine showed a sneer that was not noticed by anyone. He half-lyed back on the sofa again and whispered: "I don't think... I didn't do anything to be sorry for the Galactic Republic. I have been doing it all my life. One thing - to make the Republic better. You may criticize my methods, but you must never question my resolve...”

"No... the siege of Naboo was ordered by you!" Anakin Skywalker pointed out directly.

After Master Yoda left, everyone in the Jedi Order also read the information of Jax Pawan.

Palpatine's face became a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "I hate them!"

"You...hate...them?" Anakin was at a loss again.

"That's right!" Palpatine's expression was angry, "I hate the authorities on the planet Naboo! They are the ones who are willing to eradicate anyone who stands in their way in order to sell the plasma mines on the planet! My father, my mother... I My whole family died in this kind of political struggle! I hate the Interstellar Banking Association even more! I hate the Trade Union even more! It is because of their plundering and plundering, and their up-and-down efforts, that the planet Naboo has become so corrupt!!"

He panted violently, his voice was hoarse due to excessive force, "So I devised this strategy! I used the trade of plasma mines to drive a wedge between the Interstellar Banking Association and the former king of Naboo, Ars Veruna. Even if the Battle of Naboo did not break out, the conflicts between the two sides are already irreconcilable! Next, the planet Naboo is blocked, and my goal has been achieved..."

He sighed, "Because of the conflict with the Interstellar Banking Association, Ars Veruna's regime collapsed, and the new queen Padmé Amidala terminated the plasma mine trade. At the same time, because of participating in the blockade of the planet Naboo, The Trade Federation has become the public enemy of the galaxy... Yes, I have revenge. And, I have also become the Speaker of the Republic, which also gives me the ability to realize the dream in my heart! This... is my plan... "

After finishing speaking, Palpatine smiled slightly, "Perhaps you didn't know at that time that Padmé, who was only 14 years old at the time, was able to defeat Ars Veruna, who had ruled the planet Naboo for more than 30 years, and became the The queen of the planet is also because of my strong support. I like her very much, Anakin... Although her views are often different from mine, I always admire her. She is brave, fearless, righteous, and intelligent. Under her leadership, Planet Naboo got rid of the trade of plasma mines, reached a peace agreement with the Gungans, and made government agencies more transparent and efficient. She proved that I was right at the time..."

Hearing this, Anakin Skywalker couldn't help but put down the lightsaber in his hand. Although the metal hilt is still in his hand, the blade has been put away. He knew that, at least on this point, Palpatine was not lying, because Padmé had indeed told him that it was Palpatine who gave her the greatest help when she was young.

It's just that he doesn't know that the most brilliant lie is often mixed with 99.9% of the truth... For example, Palpatine's only lie now is the one that was lightly mentioned at the beginning... His purpose.

"This is the story of me as the Chancellor of the Republic... Next..." Palpatine said, his voice suddenly became distorted and greasy, making people creepy, "It is the story of a Sith Lord..."

Anakin-Skywalker frowned when he heard the voice, but made no further hostile moves.

The test was successful, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of Palpatine's mouth. He continued to use this distorted voice, and said slowly, "My master, Darth Plagueis...he took me from the planet Naboo Take me away and prepare to train me as his apprentice. You should know that the Lord of Sith has adopted the principle of two-person system since Darth Bane, that is, in the Milky Way, there can only be two Sith at the same time. One teacher, one apprentice..."

"Darth Plagueis is the most intelligent person I have ever seen. He is not keen on killing. On the contrary, he has been assassinated many times because he is in the interest vortex of the Interstellar Banking Association. He has always carried Respirator, because in an assassination that almost killed him, his jaw was completely cut off." Darth Sidious said, "Darth Plagueis has two biggest wishes in his life , the first is to study the mystery of eternal life, and the second is to completely uncover the mystery of the original force."

"He has many unique insights on the Force and immortality. He believes that the Force is a trinity, infinity, soul and spirit... At the same time, he has his own unique interpretation of the origin and demise of the Force." Dass - Sidious said, "In terms of immortality, he can be said to be the most outstanding doctor in the entire galaxy at that time. Through the force, he can even create life! Yes, his research on immortality lies in the force of life. "

Darth Sidious smiled and said, "Didn't you expect that? The Dark Side Force, described by your Jedi Knights as evil heretics, can actually heal injuries and create life! Between life and the dark side, It's not as big a gap as you think."

As he spoke, he looked towards the ceiling and said, "So, if he's still alive, the injuries I'm getting now won't be a problem at all...he can heal me with a wave of his hand. That's exactly what I'm thinking, I think To continue his research... As long as we can learn even a little bit of the original force of life, maybe the people around us will not be troubled by injuries, maybe we will not lose the one we love... But... "

Darth Sidious's voice darkened, "He was killed...by his other apprentice, the Death Angel!"
