Chapter 1224 The Shadow on Tatooine (°°)~ (°°)~ (°°)~
Tatooine, which is a huge desert planet, belongs to the Arcanis galaxy region in the outer space of the Galactic Republic galaxy, and is a planet orbiting a low-temperature binary star system.
It is one of the oldest planets in the Milky Way, composed mainly of a molten core, a rocky mantle, and a silicate-dominated crust. The detectable fossil record on it shows that there was life here more than two million years ago, and it was once covered by vast oceans and dense jungles.
However, Anakin doesn't like this place, because the climate here has already become a barren world, and the ocean has been dried up for many years. The barren and desolate land and the former ocean have gradually evolved a variety of landforms. , but there are more here, just those bright golden yellow due to the high sodium content and the vast sand sea that can't be seen at a glance...
However, even if it is a vast sand sea planet, there are still many cities and residents here, and the despicable and backward slave system is still retained!
And this is the main reason why Anakin doesn't like it very much...
Although this is his hometown, the place where he was born and raised for more than ten years... However, whoever is a slave since he was born, and then he was oppressed and enslaved by the cruel slave master together with his mother for so many years, Definitely wouldn't like it too much.
"..."
"Tatooine, I'm back again..."
Looking at the igloo houses in front of him and the desert town with almost no trace of green like Coruscant, Anakin sighed, and according to his memory, although there were some changes towards this place, it was generally the same as Coruscant. I walked step by step in front of the dilapidated street that was still the original one.
In front, there is what he needs, and, besides, he has already seen an acquaintance... that Toydari with a squat figure, ugly nose, wings and blue skin, who is clumsily repairing some machinery Demi-Hutto!
The other party is a slave owner here, and at the same time, Anakin's master... Of course, that is just the former master, and now, the other party is no longer worthy!
Because, now Anakin Skywalker is a noble and powerful Jedi apprentice, not the other side's short and fat monster with an ugly long nose and a stench. Able to climb high.
"Hi……"
"Hi Watto, we meet again!"
Although all kinds of thoughts surged in his heart, Anakin walked up to an old acquaintance with a smile, and greeted with a tone of exclamation.
Once upon a time, when he saw the other party saying that he was submissive, he was afraid that he would be punished if he did something wrong... But now, he can already look down on the other party, and the other party is like an ant in front of him, and he can no longer make him feel anything. Not the slightest bit of fear!
"??"
"Who are you……"
Watto, a Toydarian, was full of doubts,
Obviously, he didn't recognize the Anakin in front of him who had changed greatly and hadn't seen him in ten years, and he never expected it to be the other party.
"Well?"
"What are you fixing? Well, let me help you!"
Since the other party did not recognize him, and his mother was still in the hands of the other party, Anakin said that he could help the other party first.
After all, he promised Obi-Wan that he came to Tatooine this time to redeem his mother peacefully, not to hack the other party to death and take his mother away... However, if the other party doesn't If he is willing to let him go, there is no telling what he will do in the end.
"??"
"Hello!"
"What do you want to do?!"
"etc……"
"That's a lightsaber... You, you're a Jedi Knight? Damn it, why is there another Jedi Knight coming to this shitty place?"
Looking at the other party's attire, Watto was a little surprised, but also a little annoyed! Because, his bad luck started when he met a Jedi knight, and now he meets another one after so many years, doesn't that mean that nothing good will happen?
So, involuntarily, he couldn't help but get a little nervous.
"you……"
"Anyway, I didn't cause trouble. Even if I did, I didn't do it. I definitely won't admit it. Don't try to trick me!"
Watto thought that the other party was here to trouble him for some illegal things, so before the other party opened his mouth, he hurriedly denied it as if he had no money.
"..."
"Okay! Watto, it's fixed now, here it is!"
It's a pity that Anakin didn't pay attention to the other party's words, but just repaired his own thing, and quickly repaired it, and then gently put it in front of the other party.
'! ! '
"you……"
A Jedi knight would be so kind as to help him fix things. This kind of thing made Watu feel a little terrified, and he stared at the other person's face with some doubts, wanting to see what the other person could say later. what to say.
"snort!"
"Okay, Watto! Don't be nervous. I'm actually here to find Shmi Skywalker this time. You should know about her, right?"
Seeing the apprehensive expression on the other party's face and the movement of running away, Anakin sighed in his heart, and then comforted the other party with a cold snort.
This time, as long as the other party honestly handed over his mother and didn't play any tricks with him, he would definitely not make it too difficult for the other party.
"Who are you……"
"ah!"
'Annie? Are you...Little Annie? ! '
Looking at the other person's appearance and eyes, although he has grown up, there are still certain outlines on his face, and thinking that the other person is also a Jedi Knight at the same time, Watto quickly remembered something and tried to sweat out intimately Anakin's childhood nickname, anyway, that's how he used to call each other.
"..."
Anakin didn't speak, and still stared at the other party, which was regarded as acquiescing.
"impossible……"
"But it should be right, you are Annie, you are Anakin... yes, I remembered, it is you!"
"Ha ha!"
"Look at you, you've grown so tall, and you've become a Jedi Knight? What a surprise!"
Flying around and watching each other, Watto quickly laughed.
Because he suddenly felt that maybe with his relationship with Anakin, he should be able to use it to frighten and threaten those bastards who often bully him or want to renege on seeing his downfall?
Thinking about it, having such an iron-clad relationship with a friend of a Jedi Knight is more bluffing than being with the manager who manages this area or with the most powerful pirate! Because, the Jedi Knights are much more powerful than theirs, and they are also more powerful, which is recognized by the whole galaxy!
"Okay, Watto, stop talking!"
"Say it!"
"My mother, where is she now?"
Anakin didn't have time to talk nonsense to the other party, so he asked directly.
This time, he will redeem his mother Shmi Skywalker no matter what he says, so he hopes that the other party will be more sensible and report a number he can accept, otherwise, he does not guarantee that he will not Put the original simple things into force.
"ah….."
"Yeah, Simi... I should have known, you must be here for her, but it's too late, she doesn't belong to me now, she was sold by me a long time ago, that was many years ago Something happened!"
Under Anakin's vaguely threatening eyes, Watto, the owner of the thrift store, didn't dare to try to hide it, and just said it openly.
After all, that woman was his slave, and slaves were legal here on the planet Tatooine, so it was perfectly normal for him to sell her, even if the other was a Jedi knight, he couldn't find his own identity from it. What's wrong come on!
"!!"
"Sold, who did you sell to?!"
Slightly taken aback, Anakin who didn't expect such a disturbance and felt a little uneasy hurriedly asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, too!"
"But Anakin, you also know that business is business, friendship is friendship... well, well, as you can see, I'm down and out now, I can't afford to support her, so I sold her to a collector Farmer of Water Vapor, his name is Lars, or at least that's what I remember..."
"Hey!"
"Don't look at me that way, at least he gave her freedom, the man treated her well, married her, maybe gave birth to a few cubs, there is nothing better than that !"
"That's right!"
"It was I who generously gave her freedom, so you can't look at me like this!!"
Watto was somewhat intimidated by Anakin's murderous eyes... Although the other party was once a small slave of his own, it is not what it used to be. Now the other party is a Jedi knight. Yan Buhe cut himself, maybe he has no place to reason after his death!
"snort!"
"Then do you know where she is?"
Hearing this, the angry Anakin calmed down a little, feeling that although the guy in front of him was cunning, he wouldn't dare to lie to himself after knowing his identity.
"Anyway, it's far away from here, I've long forgotten..."
"Okay! Okay! I said, I said it's okay?!"
"Well……"
"I remember it should be...it's on the other side of the spaceport Mos Eisley, anyway, it's in that area..."
Watto, who wanted to fool around at first, soon compromised under Anakin's terrifying eyes that could explode and hurt people at any time... because he knew Anakin, at least Anakin when he was a child, He also knew what kind of person a certain brat was.
"explain!"
"I need to know more specifics!"
Anakin, already impatient, grabbed the opponent by the collar.
"this……."
"Hmph! Is there a problem?"
"D-Of course it's fine!"
"Then tell me!"
"Come on, although I can't remember clearly, you know, it has been many years after all... However, I can check my records...Of course, if you are worried, you can check it yourself, anyway You know how to look it up yourself, don't you?"
"Hmph! Watto, you better not play tricks!"
"of course not!"
"Come on! Anakin, let's go to the store... Anyway, we are old friends, how can I embarrass you for such a trivial matter?"
Watto smiled dryly, while wanting to continue to have a relationship with the other party, he took the other party to the thrift store that hadn't changed for more than ten years, and the only change was that it became dirtier and messier...
'Hello! '
‘Anakin, now that you’re rich, can’t we have a couple of drinks? '
'Hello! ! '
Soon, within a few minutes, Anakin, who found the result, hurried out of the thrift store without saying a word, completely ignoring the invitation from an ugly thrift store owner, and directly turned black Walk towards the outside of this small town.
'All right……'
After a while, Watto, the owner of the thrift store, saw a shuttle whizzing up from outside the town. Time disappeared at the end of the dim yellow sky.
two days later...
What Anakin never imagined was that he still failed to find and rescue his mother... because he failed to find her on the farm mentioned by the thrift store owner Watto, but in a group of towers. She was found in a Sken village.
Moreover, when he found her, she was already a corpse, a corpse that could no longer be saved?
And then, what he did he no longer wants to recall...
Anyway, in the end, he just brought the other party's body back to the farm again in a daze, because it was her home, and he could see that even the original force told him that she was attached to that place, and that man named Krieger The owner of the moisture farm in Lars was indeed sincere to her, so he chose to bury her by the side of the farm, along with other people who were attacked by the Tuskens and died together.
"..."
Looking at the tombstones in front of him and the one belonging to his mother, Anakin seemed to be blocked by something in his throat, unable to speak a word...
Moreover, the huge anger and sorrow are like a beast, constantly roaring in his heart, just like the restless swarm of insects that he has been suppressing and have to dormant in the dark crust at the bottom of the planet Coruscant, Thinking about breaking out of the cage all the time, to eat and destroy everything in the outside world?
It’s not good, but it’s okay, Anakin didn’t do anything in the end, he restrained himself, just stood silently in front of the tombstone, lowered his head, and let the wind mixed with yellow sand blow his body that had been dead for a day and a night. Cheeks and chapped lips from food and water.
'...'
'I'm sorry, Anakin...'
'I'm just an ordinary farmer, I can't protect her, it's all my fault...and it would be great if there were more people like you in this world, maybe, the world will be peaceful and there won't be so many Unfortunately...'
'you……'
'Oh, forget it...'
After dealing with the funeral, looking at Anakin standing in front of the grave in a daze, Krieger Lars, as a stepfather, originally wanted to say something to comfort him, but seeing the other's appearance, he couldn't help it. After thinking that his own feelings were not any better than the other party's, he finally sighed and shook his head, with red eyes, barely controlled his automatic wheelchair to take his son and his son's girlfriend back slowly float away.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Like the other party, he has lost a lot. When he himself needs someone to comfort him, how can he know how to comfort the other party?
"..."
"snort!"
"Are there more people like me? Oh! Look, mother, there will be, soon, I assure you..."
"In the future, I swear: I will cherish and protect what belongs to me Anakin, I will be omnipotent, I will be the most powerful Jedi knight and the most 'benevolent' ruler in the entire galaxy... Anyone who breaks the law and destroys good things, like the Tuskens, will be mercilessly killed by me!"
"I promise, I will..."
"No one can take away any of my things from me again, I promise..."
After his stepfather, stepbrother and other strange family members left, Anakin took out a bottle containing several larvae and held it tightly in his palm, swearing secretly.
At this time, there was one less larva in the bottle...
As for the missing one, he had already thrown it in the tribe of the Tusken people who let him kill it yesterday... He had already given the order to the larva and firmly believed that, when The next time he comes to Tatooine, this chaotic planet will definitely become a different scene!
He promises that peace and order will come to this chaotic planet!
However, that is in the way that Anakin Skywalker himself thinks is correct... and at that time, all the evil Tuskens will be killed by him, leaving no one behind! !
As for whether all the Tusken people deserve to die, then he can't control that much... because he only knows that soon, this planet will become his private territory, and everything here will also be controlled by him. Kim Skywalker has the final say! This is just like what a certain powerful Anne little head of state once said to him. The truth is only in the hands of powerful people. As long as he says that their sand people are guilty, then they are guilty, even if they are not!
Because, he is Anakin, and he is Anakin Skywalker, the king of the swarm who is about to appear in front of the world!
Soon, he believes that there will be that day, and it may not be long... When the time is right, the Galactic Republic and even the entire Milky Way will be under his control... At that time, all All the rules of life will be made by him, and his will is the truth, the eternal and unchanging iron law! !
