The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

"I've figured it out, whether I become a Sith or not has nothing to do with my research on the dark side. After seeing the struggle between you and Darth Sidious, I am indeed more inclined to think that you I'd better not get involved in the Sith matter." Earl Dooku said with a smile.

"Then why do you need to ask about the Book of Sith?" Tang Xiao sneered.

This old fox, after he saw it, there would definitely be a lot of Jedi knights who would defect to him. In addition to the group of dark Jedi warriors he had already recruited, including experienced elders like Sola Balk and young geniuses like Asajj Ventress, even if he directly opened the sect Lipai is also more than enough.

In this way, he really does not need to rely on others, Baidas Sidious or the dead angel as a teacher, and record his name in the Book of Sith.

"Don't you find it strange? If the Book of Sith is just a book, how can it be recognized by the way of Sith if the book is recorded in it? What role does the Force play in this process? " Earl Dooku said with a smile, "Don't you think this process is full of mystery? Maybe we can discuss together the essence of the Force."

This guy is testing himself.

Tang Xiao knew it in his heart. After confirming that he was the Death Angel and Darth Malthael, the once mysterious and powerful veil gradually faded away, and Earl Dooku also began to have some feelings for this very young Sith Lord. The mind to explore.

He wanted to know how this young Sith Lord could stand up to him and someone like Darth Sidious who had studied the Force all his life.

Count Dooku brought up this topic now, in fact, he wanted to test the depth of the dead angel, so as to adjust his future response.

On the one hand, this is because the demise of the Jedi Order allows Count Dooku to obtain a group of dark Jedi knights in the foreseeable future, which are even more powerful; The two people with equal identities probably won't have an affiliation relationship in the future. In other words, the separation of Dawn Star from the Confederation of Independent Galaxies is already a certainty.

In this way, Earl Dooku needs to consider them as a potential competitor and enemy.

"Where do you think the soul will go after death?" Tang Xiao asked suddenly.

"If it wasn't for the cultivation of unique force skills, or if the force was strong enough to keep the soul alive, then the soul would dissipate after death." Earl Dooku replied.

"But not now." The smile on Tang Xiao's face began to become a little weird, "From the day I returned from Planet Koliban, after death, the soul belongs to me!"

Count Dooku's face turned serious.

"And this is also the answer you want about the Book of Sith." Tang Xiao's expression suddenly became sunny again, making it difficult to understand his inner thoughts.

After saying that, Tang Xiao didn't want to say anything more to Earl Dooku, so he turned and left. Only Earl Dooku stood there thoughtfully, without moving for a long time.

And when he was flying towards his mansion on the Laxus sub-planet in his private shuttle, a somewhat unexpected communication was received.

Tang Xiao frowned, the communicator showed Lott-Dude! The representative of the Trade Federation in the Coruscant Galactic Council can also be regarded as the second in command of the Trade Federation in a sense.

But he usually doesn't have any dealings with Lott-Dude, and he often goes directly to Governor Newt Gunley for trade union matters.

The communication was connected, and the holographic projection of Lott Dude appeared in front of him. He saluted very respectfully and said, "Governor Governor Tang, I have a very important message to report."

"Oh? Tell me." Tang Xiao replied lightly.

"The 17th Army of the Galactic Republic, I hope that our Titan Battleship Xuanwu will be able to withdraw from the Ennaco Galaxy." Lot Dude nodded and bowed when he spoke, and when talking about the Titan Battleship Xuanwu, he also used the word " We', he hoped to draw closer the relationship between himself and Tang Xiao through these small conversation details.

A mocking look appeared on Tang Xiao's face, "Hehe, interesting. Is it Lynch Houser or Admiral Kourney who contacted you?"

This time the Titan battleship Xuanwu took the initiative to attack, which was his request to Ling Liang, so Ling Liang's action plan had already been submitted to him. Naturally, Tang Xiao knew the predicament facing the main fleet of the 17th Army of the Republic.

"It was the two of them who came together to negotiate with me." Lott-Dude said: "They said they were willing to let us operate the Xuanwu in 'some appropriate way' in exchange for the planet Van der Heim. About the departure of the Titan battleship from the planet Ennako."

Tang Xiao was slightly moved, "They actually ceded to us the most valuable planetary secrets that the 17th Army received with great difficulty from the remnants of the 18th Army. It seems that the situation they encountered is really not small."

"Speaker Palpatine, ask them to take the initiative to attack." Lott Doud said.

"Ha! Take the initiative to attack? Starting from the planet Naboo to attack the planet Ennako? Are they looking for death?" Tang Xiao laughed dumbly.

"That's why they put forward this condition. It is estimated that they want to force the Titan battleship Xuanwu back as a result, and come to Palpatine to do business." Lott-Dude said.

Tang Xiao waved his hand, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Actually, compared to those two wretches of the 17th Army, I am more concerned that you didn't hide this matter? Van der Heim has a shipbuilding industry and also has resources. The value of a rich planet is very considerable, right?"

Lott-Dude hurriedly said: "My lord governor! What is a mere van der Heim? Compared with your strength and wisdom, such a planet is just a child's play. My loyalty to you will never change."

Tang Xiao smiled coldly. It seems that under the influence of Newt Gunley, the Trade Union has indeed become more and more obedient. I used both kindness and power to them through the Freemasonry Alliance, and finally achieved good results.

"Very well, I have received your loyalty." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"I think I can pretend to agree, and then take the opportunity to attract the main fleet of the 17th Army and destroy them all!" Lot Dude said with a sinister smile.

"With the Xuanwu, the main fleet of the 17th Army must come and go. But how to make them take the initiative to attack depends on your ability, Lott-Dude." Tang Xiao said, "If things can be done, then It’s just a van der Heim, so what if I give it to you?”

Lot Dude was overjoyed, and quickly said: "My lord governor! Oh no, my lord! Everything will be as you wish!"
