The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

561. The Test of the Jedi (Part 1)

Darth Malthael looked forward, on this barren planet, he could see almost nothing, except desert and desert, icy desert.

The dark gray dust and dark gray sky make up everything in sight. The detector in the hands of a soldier of the Fourth Legion did not move at all.

In fact, if Tur-Ulan hadn't found relevant clues, even if a spaceship flies here and conducts a comprehensive scan of the planet, it probably won't find anything.

At this time, Tur-Ulan stopped and said, "According to the data I found from the ancient holographic recorder, the entrance is here."

Justin Levi's looked at the small mound less than 100 meters high in front of him, frowned and said, "Judging from the topographical structure of this place, it is impossible for ground buildings to exist. Then it can only be an underground mausoleum, and It's covered in dust."

He raised his wrist while talking, pressed a series of buttons on his universal tool, and then continued: "But... just now I have asked the computer of the spaceship to help us calculate the climate and environment on this planet, which also includes The laws of monsoons and trade winds. I got an interesting phenomenon——if we look at the climate on this planet, this mound is bound to form."

"You mean, even if we level this mound, after a long time, the wind will still blow dust from other places to form a mound here?" Darth Malthael asked.

"It looks like this." Justin - Reeves said: "The unique low pressure here will form a sinking cyclone belt, which is not strong enough to accumulate dust. If there is really a mausoleum under the mound, I will It can only be said that this is a wonderful design. Doesn't the owner of the tomb want the things in it to be taken out?"

"No. We don't know what Lucian Drey thought before he died, but he should hope that these things can be used by the Jedi Knights, otherwise he would not leave clues." Tur Ulan said.

"If that's the case, it's easy. Just blast the mound!" Justin Reeves said.

"No." Darth Malthael waved his hand, "The dust is very fine, if we forcefully explode it, it may cause a large amount of dust to be poured into the mausoleum, and the all-pervasive dust may destroy the tomb. Some of the organs were completely destroyed, so that the mausoleum was completely buried."

"Then... shall we dig?" Justin Reeves made a digging motion.

"Soft and fine dust, you dig and collapse at the same time, in the end I'm afraid it will be the workload of hollowing out the entire mound." Darth Masail shook his head and said: "Since Lucien Drey hopes to make the whole mound here Things are left to the Jedi Knights, so we have to look at the problem from the perspective of the Jedi Knights. So what choice will a Jedi Knight make?"

He stepped forward, raised one hand, palm facing the mound, and muttered to himself, "Feel... the guidance of the Force... If the Sith swim against the current, the Jedi And down...it's not that we walk into the mausoleum, but let this mausoleum take us in..."

He entered a very wonderful meditative state, as if every time he meditated on the Dawn Planet, he became one with the surrounding nature.

This is his biggest difference, even if he has already fallen deeply into the abyss of the dark side, he will still meditate like this, and grow rapidly in this kind of meditation.

He learned from Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous successively, and he naturally understood that this method was completely different from Sith. Sith naturally have meditation methods, but they will never be integrated with nature in this way.

Therefore, Darth Malthael attributed this to the same as his death power, a gift from an unknown source, maybe it was the existence that made him come to this world.

But no matter what, he doesn't have the ability to find out the answer now. If that's the case, then let's enjoy the benefits it brings.

In front of Darth Malthael, a vortex slowly appeared. The speed of this vortex was not fast, but it still pushed away the surrounding dust, and kept rolling up the collapsed dust, unexpectedly forming a passage.

Not only that, but there was also a burst of suction, dragging everyone towards the center of the vortex.

Justin Reeves and other soldiers of the Fourth Legion subconsciously braced themselves to resist the suction, but Darth Malthael shouted: "Don't resist! This is the first test!"

As he spoke, he allowed his body to be slowly pulled in by the vortex, sinking into the endless sand and dust.

After about a minute or two, Darth Malthael felt that the surrounding dust had dissipated and the sea was calm. Then he looked up and found that he was standing in a domed hall. In the center of the hall stood a 20-meter-tall statue.

The statue is a man with short hair, wearing a combat uniform covered with some armor that is very old in this world. His eyes are like gods, looking majestically at the sky ahead, holding a lightsaber, ready to go look.

"Lucien Del Rey..." Darth Malthael said to himself, "After 3,000 years of waiting, the Sith are visiting. I don't know how you will feel about it?"

The whirlwind behind him slowly pulled the others in from the hidden exit, and the soldiers of the Fourth Legion immediately dispersed and entered a fighting state, alerting every direction around them.

"Okay, we came in normally, there shouldn't be any danger here." Darth Masail said: "This is a test of trust."

"Trust?" Tur-Ulan asked.

"That's right, trust in the bright side, trust in colleagues. If it is the Lord of Sith, he will never let himself be in such a state of being manipulated by others, so he will definitely resist, and once he resists, he will not be pulled Come in, the impatient Sith Lord may choose violence again." Darth Malsayer said lightly: "But the Jedi Knights will not, they will definitely not come here with hostility , naturally will not resist. This device is not so much the use of technology as it is the control of people's hearts."

"There seems to be only one road here, could it be a trap?" Tur-Ulan said looking at a dark and deep passage in front of the hall.

"The tomb of the Jedi Knights will never use anything like a trap, even the Jedi Covenant of Extreme Evil." Darth-Masail said, "The Jedi Knights are upright, before you determine that they need to use force against you, They don't hurt the innocent. Let's go."
