Chapter 2554 Your name——Temperance (Temperance)
2555. Your name——Temperance (Temperance)
Tang Xiao had made up his mind, he raised his hand again, and another black Kyber Crystal flew out and sank into Jerec's heart.
Soon, his body twitched, and a the Force light flashed from his bare eye sockets, and then he sat up. The empty eye sockets faced Tang Xiao, and Mirialan's unique Force Vision was used to look around directly through the Force.
He finally knelt down on his knees in front of Tang Xiao and said with great respect, "I am willing to obey your orders, my lord."
"I give you Immortality, I give you strength, and you will give everything you have... your loyalty, your soul, everything you have..." Tang Xiao said coldly, "Then tell me now, what do you want?"
"Being loyal to my Lord is all I want." Jerec prostrated himself on the ground.
"Why did you choose to betray Darth-Sidious?" Tang Xiao asked a question.
Jerec paused, his expression was a little complicated. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, then loosened them weakly, and said slowly, "I am looking for knowledge... thirsty for knowledge... Jedi Order restricts me and refuses me contact with Dark Side. But they are proud of themselves. It was slow and paid the price. During the time I served His Majesty the Emperor, I studied ancient Sith Empire, their culture, their traditions, and their knowledge... However, His Majesty the Emperor also rejected my desire for further knowledge... He just used me as a tool."
His expression became ferocious, "Not only that, he killed my subordinates! But he didn't ask me what I thought at all! Or he was just on a whim! Or he just felt that Sariss they failed to block the enemy's attack! I don't have any future there..."
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "So, you want to get knowledge from me?"
Jerec lowered his head and began to slowly tell his story.
His story is actually very simple, because as Mirialan, he was born with Force Vision. Mirialan's senses for the world are more inclined to understand the essence of the world. They will not lament how exquisite and genius a painting is, they will only caress the painting and tell you the author's state of mind when he put down the strokes. Or they tell you coldly that the molecular structure of this painting will completely disintegrate in a few thousand years.
So when Jerec was very young, he was full of curiosity about the world around him. Later, when he was a child, he was discovered by Jedi Master Jocasta-Nu. Jocasta Nu is the curator of Jedi Archives. Under her careful guidance, Jerec was able to access and study a large amount of materials collected by Jedi Order, which greatly expanded his horizons.
After that, he became Jedi Order's leading archaeological expert, and was sent to Unknown Regions by Jocasta Nu to find the former Relics - yes, Jedi Order was also very interested in the lost catastrophe one hundred thousand years ago, and was also investing in research.
However, at that time, the technology of hyperspace navigation had not experienced the rapid development in recent years, and the exploration of Unknown Regions was difficult and achieved little success. Unsatisfied, Jerec began to focus on the research of Dark Side Force. Taking advantage of the opportunity of being far away from Unknown Regions, he began to try to contact Dark Side.
At this time, when Clone Wars was reaching its climax, Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Sheev-Palpatine announced that Galactic Republic was reorganized into the First Galactic Empire, and he also became Emperor of the Galactic Empire. At the same time, Jedi Order was accused of murdering the Speaker, provoking a war, and was wanted throughout the galaxy.
Jerec, who was far away from Unknown Regions, escaped the pursuit of Order 66. When he received the wide-area hyperspace communication throughout the galaxy, he saw the repeated words "Execute Order 66!"]Anakin-Skywalker, but there was only indifference in my heart.
After that, Imperial Inquisitorius was established and a large number of magistrates were sent to hunt down the escaped Jedi Knight all over the galaxy. Jerec, as Jedi Order's most famous archaeologist and the chief disciple of Jedi Archives curator Jocasta Nu, is naturally at the top of the wanted list.
But when Imperial Inquisitor came to him, Jerec immediately gave up resistance and hugged Dark Side Force. And he also received a personal interview from Emperor Palpatine.
With his help, Palpatine opened Jedi Archives, obtained a large number of collections, and analyzed a large amount of sealed knowledge. Not only that, Jerec was finally allowed to access Dark Side Force's collection, some of which came from Jedi Archives, and some of which came from Palpatine's collection.
Jerec showed extraordinary talent. He quickly mastered the language of the ancient Sith Empire, as well as several almost extinct and lost secret languages. He translated a large number of the ancient Sith Empire's documents, and even analyzed the documents of the Eternal Empire and Infinite Empire.
He can be said to be the chief archaeological master among the Galactic Empire. In addition to Das-Vader, who has no interest in these obscure knowledge, Palpatine's other two powerful Force-sensitive - Blackhole and Dark Prophet Kadann also have high regard for Jerec.
Therefore, although Jerec is only one High Inquisitor, his power is even greater than that of many Grand Judge. Moreover, his erudite and mysterious image has also been supported by many military and political officials, allowing his influence to span multiple fields.
When he was at his peak, there were even rumors that if Das-Vader was not around, then Jerec would become His Majesty the Emperor's apprentice. For a while, Jerec also regarded Das-Vader as his biggest goal. Like Orman-Tagge, he regarded Das-Vader as a stumbling block on his way forward.
Palpatine is very keen on playing with such tactics and balance, creating various enemies for Darth-Vader.
But gradually, Jerec began to feel alienated from His Majesty the Emperor. Palpatine cut off his source of the Sith Empire classics and prevented him from contacting more Dark Side knowledge, which made Jerec extremely angry. So he started his old business again and went to Unknown Regions to pursue his thirst for knowledge.
It wasn't until this time that he was abandoned by Palpatine and finally saw everything clearly... so he betrayed Palpatine at the last moment.
Tang Xiao looked at Jerec who was talking eloquently, but at the moment he was thinking about another person. A person who is also crazy about knowledge, finally receives the influence of knowledge and becomes a stubborn paranoid person...
Olegar.
He said coldly to Jerec: "I can give you the opportunity to continue your research. I can even provide you with something you have never imagined - the catastrophe one hundred thousand years ago."
Jerec, who was half-dead telling his story and longing, felt like a lightning strike and jumped up, "My lord, you mean! That disaster a hundred thousand years ago?!"
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "You will succeed Priestess and become the principal of Twilight Covenant. Help me manage the college, train students, teach and educate people. And I will give you the opportunity to study the secrets of a hundred thousand years ago."
"Yes! Yes! I will obey!" Jerec almost knelt down and kowtowed.
"Do you think it's easy?" Tang Xiao said coldly, "What I need is the answer from a hundred thousand years ago. And this answer may very well involve the fall of the god. The consequences of touching the god's domain may be that the soul is scattered and ashes are destroyed."
"I'm never afraid of any consequences!" Jerec said firmly.
"Then, hand over your Lightsaber." Tang Xiao stood up and stretched out his hand.
Jerec immediately took the hilt of Lightsaber's sword from his waist and held it up with both hands.
Tang Xiao didn't answer, but the Force spat out lightly, and the Lightsaber sword handle immediately began to decompose into countless parts, and then fell to the ground with a clang, "From today on, you no longer have any qualifications to touch Lightsaber. This person Jerec also died today..."
He raised his hand and placed it on Jerec's forehead, and said slowly, "From today on, your name is... Temperance (Temperance)."
