561.Trial of the Jedi (Part 1)
Das-Malthael looked forward. On this desolate planet, he could see almost nothing except desert, a cold desert.
Dark gray dust and dark gray sky make up everything in sight. The detector in the hand of a Fourth Legion soldier did not move at all.
In fact, if Tur-Ulan hadn't found relevant clues, even if a spacecraft flew here and conducted a comprehensive scan of the planet, nothing would be found.
At this time, Tur-Ulan stopped and said, "According to the data from the ancient holographic recorder I found, the entrance is here."
Justin-Levis looked at the small mound less than 100 meters high in front of him, frowned and said, "Judging from the terrain structure of this place, it is impossible for there to be ground buildings. Then it can only be an underground mausoleum, and it is already covered by dust."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist, pressed a series of Company One buttons on his Omni-tool, and then continued, "But... I just asked the spacecraft's computer to help us calculate the climate environment on this planet, which also included the laws of monsoons and trade winds. We got an interesting phenomenon - if we look at the climate on this planet, this mound will inevitably be formed."
"You mean, even if we level this mound, over a long period of time, the wind will still blow dust from other places and form a mound here?" asked Das-Malthael.
"That's what it looks like." Justin-Levis 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 can only say that this is a wonderful design. Doesn't the owner of the mausoleum want the things inside to be taken out?"
"No. We don't know what Lucian Dre was thinking before he died, but he probably hoped that these things could be used by Jedi Knight, otherwise he would not have left any clues." Tur-Ulan said.
"If that's the case, it's easy. Just blow up this mound!" Justin-Levis said.
"No." Das-Malthael waved his hand, "The dust is very fine. If we blast it forcefully, it may cause a huge amount of dust to be poured into the mausoleum. The pervasive dust may completely destroy some of the mechanisms in the mausoleum, thus allowing the mausoleum to be completely buried."
"Then... let's dig?" Justin-Levis made a digging motion.
"With the soft and fine dust, you are digging and collapsing at the same time. In the end, I am afraid that it will be the workload of hollowing out the entire mound." Das-Malthael shook his head and said, "Since Lucian Dre hopes to leave the things here to Jedi Knight, then we have to look at the problem from the perspective of Jedi Knight. So, what choice would a Jedi Knight make?"
He stepped forward, raised one hand, palm facing the mound, and murmured to himself, "Feel... the Force's guidance... If Sith is going upstream, then Jedi Knight is going downstream... 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 he was one with the surrounding natural environment every time he meditated on Dawn Star Planet.
This is his biggest difference. Even if he has already deeply fallen to the Dark Side Abyss, he will still meditate like this and grow rapidly in this kind of meditation.
He studied under Das-Pregas and Das-Tenebrus, and naturally understood that this method was completely different from Sith. Sith Of course, there are methods of meditation, but it will never be like this to integrate with nature.
Therefore, Darth-Malthael attributed this to the same as his Death Force, a gift from an unknown source, maybe it was the existence that brought him to this world.
But no matter what, he doesn't have the ability to explore this answer now. In this case, let's enjoy the benefits it brings.
In front of Das-Malthael, a vortex slowly appeared. The speed of this vortex was not very fast, but it still pushed away the surrounding dust and continued to roll up the collapsed dust, forming a passage.
Not only that, there was also a suction force, dragging everyone towards the center of the vortex.
Justin-Levis The soldiers waiting for the Fourth Legion subconsciously braced their horses to resist the suction force, but Das-Malthael shouted, "Don't resist! This is the first test!"
As he spoke, he allowed his body to be slowly pulled into the vortex and submerged into the endless sand and dust.
After about a minute or two, Das-Malthael felt that the dust around him had dispersed and everything was calm. Then he looked around and found that he was standing in a domed hall. In the center of the hall stood a 20-meter-high statue.
The statue is of a short-haired man, wearing a very ancient battle uniform covered with some armor. His eyes are like gods, looking majestically towards the sky in front of him, holding a Lightsaber, as if he is ready to go.
"Lucian Del Rey..." Darth-Malthael said to himself, "After 3,000 years of waiting, it is Sith who comes to visit. I wonder what you will think?"
The whirlwind behind him slowly pulled others in from the hidden exit. These Fourth Legion warriors immediately spread out and entered a fighting state, guarding every direction around them.
"Okay, we came in normally, there shouldn't be any danger here." Das-Malthael said, "This is a test of trust."
"Trust?" Tur-Ulan asked.
"Yes, trust in Light Side and trust in colleagues. If it is Sith Lord, he will never let himself be in such a state of being manipulated by others, so he will definitely resist. Then once he resists, he will not be pulled in. Sith Lord loses his patience, maybe they will choose violence again." Das-Malthael said calmly, "But Jedi Knight will not come here with hostility, and naturally they will not resist. This device is not so much about the use of technology as it is about controlling 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.
"Jedi Knight's mausoleum will never use anything similar to a trap, even if it is an extremely dangerous Jedi Covenant." Das-Malthael said, "Jedi Knight is aboveboard. They will not hurt innocent people before they are sure that they need to use force against you. Let's go."
