195. Darth name (Part 1)

"This is what happened five standard hours ago." Hego-Damask II said, his tone was very calm, as if he had not just suffered a terrible assassination.

He turned around suddenly, his red eyes fixed on Tang Xiao, "Sojourn Planet does not have Planetary Shield, and there is no escort fleet! Because these may lead to the discovery of the planet! Because there are no more than 100 people in the entire galaxy who know the coordinates of Sojourn Planet! And there are even fewer people who know that I happened to be in Sojourn at that time!!"

He came closer to Tang Xiao and his tone became more ferocious, "Tell me now! How did you know about this assassination!!!"

Tang Xiao responded calmly, "Jabba also reminded you, right?"

Hego was suddenly stunned. At this moment, he was thinking about countless possibilities because of Tang Xiao's words with a huge amount of information. He stopped talking, stood up straight again, turned around and looked at the vast sea.

Tang Xiao didn't speak, just stood behind Hego and watched the sea with him.

After a long time, Hego said slowly, "It is impossible for Black Sun to complete this assassination, even if Hutt Gaddula and Bando Goza are included. There is something behind the scenes that I have not noticed."

"I will try my best to investigate." Tang Xiao replied.

"You alone can't do it." Hego shook his head, "But you can continue to investigate from Black Sun, and I will handle other matters."

"So I brought a gift, maybe we can get more information from it." Tang Xiao made a gesture of invitation, then took Hego to his spacecraft, and saw the well-preserved head of Kash-Garulan.

Seeing Garulan's head, Hego had a look of ridicule on his face. He said to Tang Xiao with satisfaction, "You did a good job, Tang Xiao. You have proven your loyalty and your ability, which is very important. Take this head and follow me..."

He took Tang Xiao to a secret cave underground under Abola Island, and then jumped directly using the Force. Tang Xiao also followed the same example, but just after he jumped down, he realized that the depth of this hole was completely different from what he perceived!

He learned from the Force's perception that the hole was about 5 meters deep. However, when he jumped in, he realized that this was not the case at all! This underground cave is more than 70 meters deep!!

This is definitely a fatal height. Even if Jedi Knight comes over, he will definitely fall into the trap. Under this simple but clever the Force trap, it is not surprising at all to be caught off guard and be crippled or even killed directly.

A powerful the Force came and gave Tang Xiao a hand, helping him land smoothly.

Tang Xiao looked around and found that this was a very vast underground space with no traces of artificial excavation. There was only an altar stained with blood in the center, and many medical and experimental equipment were scattered around it.

"This is my real laboratory. I told you before that what I study is the essence of life, which is Immortality!" Hego, no, it should be called Das-Pregas now. His voice was extremely gloomy and he pointed at the surroundings. The device said, "You are my apprentice. You accepted the darkest Sith path, and you have proved your loyalty! Then, you are also qualified to join my experiment. As long as you can achieve Immortality, we... will rule this galaxy forever!!"

Tang Xiao hurriedly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "I dare not ask for such a grand vision. As long as I can follow the footsteps of the Lord, I will be satisfied."

"Haha..." Das-Pregas sneered, "Your biggest shortcoming is your lack of ambition. If it were before, I might have kicked you out directly, but now that I think about it, this may not be an advantage. After all, if you want Immortality, you really have to be under my knees forever. Sometimes, the apprentice's ambition is too big, which may not be a good thing for me."

"Everything, follow the Lord's arrangements." Tang Xiao said.

"You will be named 'Darth'! Darth means the incarnation of death. Among the ancient Rakataan language, it also means immortality! And for us after Rule of Two, this means that you have truly become a Sith!"

"Rule of Two?"

"This is the law proposed by the powerful Sith Lord, Darth-Bane! Under this law, Sith will only have one master and one disciple at the same time. But this is all in the past, Sith will become the true master of this galaxy!"

"I'm honored."

"Sit on the altar and meditate. I will think about your new name." Das-Pregas said.

"Uh, can't you choose by yourself?" Tang Xiao scratched his head, "For example, Das Provence or Das Honduras..."

"Shut up!" Das-Pregas was a little impatient.

Tang Xiao hurriedly walked to the altar, and he realized that the reason why the altar was full of blood was because there was a skeleton hanging on the indescribable shape in front of the altar! Judging from the shape, this skeleton should not be human, but belongs to a relatively short race.

There is still some flesh and blood left on the skeleton, and the blood is dripping from the skeleton. What is very strange is that, after an unknown period of time, the blood still has not solidified and dried up.

"He was also a Sith, a blind apprentice of my master." Das-Pregas said calmly, "I have been conducting Chlamydiae experiments on him. He has endured more than 20 years of torture. Even if he died briefly, he would be revived by me, and then continue the extremely painful experiment."

When he said this, his brows looked extremely excited. It was obvious that he enjoyed the process very much, "But in the end, I mercifully granted him death. Then, let his body play its final role on this altar. Go, meditate on the altar, and feel the anger and hatred in the heart of a Sith who has been tortured for 20 years! This will make you truly feel, Sith path!"

Is it another spiritual test? Tang Xiao took a deep breath, walked to the altar and sat down cross-legged.

He just closed his eyes and heard a painful cry echoing in the void, "Pregas!! You don't let me die, and you don't let me live!! You let me suffer eternal torture... I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you ahhhhhh!!!"

Anger, pain, hatred, fear, sadness... almost all negative emotions surrounded Tang Xiao like a sea wave! Not only that, but it also contains the powerful Dark Side Force!!

Dark Side Force comes from negative emotions, and the Dark Side Force contained in this soul that has been tortured for 20 years has almost reached a terrifying level!!

Thanks to Sinbad for the 100 book coins!!
