"I will not hide my disgust for your power, but I will also not refuse to cooperate with you. I will not be your friend, but I will also not be your enemy." Zekaras said, "You
For your help, the stars will definitely reward you."
Tang Xiao said coldly: "In that case, there is no need to be polite between us. Maybe I will need your strength, but that will happen in the future. As for now, I need you to do something for me.
After completion, I will resurrect some of the protoss, starting with the Silak tribe you lead."
"I think this is a very appropriate way, and maybe we will find a basis for continued cooperation in the future," Zekaras said.
Tang Xiao nodded, raised his hand slightly, and a teacup flew in front of him out of thin air. Then he shook his finger slightly, and the teacup silently cracked into several pieces. These pieces circled his hand like satellites.
It kept flying, and then all these fragments flew into the trash can.
"What do you think of this power?" Tang Xiao asked.
"Psionic powers." Zekaras was not surprised at all and answered directly, "There are some differences, but the essence is exactly the same. Supernatural phenomena are caused through the mind and will. What surprised me is that,
As a human, your psychic level can even be compared with those of high-level templars."
"In this universe, this kind of power is called 'The Force'. And the Force is divided into a light side and a dark side due to different ways of practicing and using it. The light side advocates order and needs to control the user's emotions, while the dark side
The side advocates disorder, which will indulge the user's desires..." Tang Xiao briefly explained the difference between the light side and the dark side of the force.
"Using psychic energy through emotional control is a very effective method. At the same time, you will also notice that this is also a way of controlling the mind." Zekaras said, "The use of psychic energy by the protoss,
There are also different ways. For example, The Khala, and...The Void."
"What I want is to study and use the Force. Not only do I need to become stronger, but also because I need to master the technology of the Force." Tang Xiao said, "I recently excavated an ancient temple.
There are Force technologies from ancient wars buried inside, and I hope to put these technologies to use."
"You are already powerful enough, and this power will make you live long enough, so why do you continue to pursue it?" Zekaras asked.
"Because my enemy is far more powerful than you imagine. And even more because, although I practice the force of the dark side, I understand that neither darkness nor light is far from the end. I don't want to suppress myself.
I also don’t want to become a slave of desire." Tang Xiao said seriously.
"To master two powers at the same time, as far as I know, only the great Tilight Messiah, Tassadar, has ever done it. However, he has long since fallen. Even if he is alive, I still can't
I don’t think he will help you, because you will only use such power to bring war to every corner of the universe." Zekaras replied.
"You should know that even without me, war has been raging throughout the galaxy." Tang Xiao said.
"I don't understand or care about this war, dark and powerful lord, because this is not the essence of the matter." Zekaras obviously did not want to talk to Tang Xiao. He bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive me.
I will take a short rest, and then I need to wake up some of my tribesmen. I will help you discover and study the temple. A cooperative relationship can be established."
After Zekaras left, Tang Xiao snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.
The Protoss' pride that seeped into their souls made this conversation far from pleasant. Even Zekaras, who he thought was relatively easy to talk to, had a business-like attitude. If you help me, I'll help you.
Come and make it clear that you don’t want to have any more involvement with your fourth civilization.
Such an attitude made Tang Xiao feel really uncomfortable, because in this way, although Zekaras said on the surface that he would not be his enemy, in fact, when the protoss rises again, who knows?
The protoss has a criminal record.
After they entered the path of rapid development of civilization under the guidance of the Xel'naga, they soon betrayed the Xel'naga, whom they once regarded as gods, and drove them out of their own planet.
Protoss has not been an easy race to get along with from the beginning.
However, if you think about it, if you have such an almost perfect life form, your mentality of treating other races as ants is also almost uncontrollable. To put it bluntly, they have such confidence and capital.
Moreover, whether it is the study of the Force or the study of Kyber Crystals, there is indeed no person more suitable than the Protoss.
Not only do the protoss themselves possess extremely powerful psychic powers, the foundation of their civilization is also derived from the Khedalin crystal, which is highly similar to the coexistence between the Force and the Kyber crystal.
Moreover, an important reason why Tang Xiao decided to awaken the protoss is that the protoss, a group of guys with mental mysophobia, will definitely not accept Darth Sidious compared to himself. As Zekaras said,
Draw your sword as soon as you meet, there will be no ambiguity.
The Silak tribe is also a tribe that is more inclined to research and academics. In the history of the protoss, they have been studying the ruins of the Xel'Naga people and have become the guardians of these ruins.
During their continuous research, they also recovered the spiritual link that was once abandoned by the protoss, which became a key factor in ending the protracted protoss civil war, the "War of Eternity".
Therefore, awakening Zekaras, the leader of the Silak tribe, is very suitable for Tang Xiao's current needs - because they are very good at excavation and research of ancient ruins, and their understanding of spiritual energy is also in the hands of the protoss.
It is one of the best among all the major tribes.
Their continued support for the Xel'Naga also illustrates their yearning for powerful psychic powers. At the same time, when Zekaras advocated for Artanis to serve as Archbishop in the Twilight Council, he also expressed his desire for a powerful person.
A leader’s desire.
From these two points, it is possible for Tang Xiao to meet these conditions. Not to mention that he can really bring the stars under his command, but at least he can make the people of this tribe less repulsive to him.
No matter what, although the result of the negotiation is not perfect, at least it has reached cooperation. Waiting for the protoss, a sparsely populated race, to develop, this will not be a short-term matter, but if the Silak tribe can help him bring Lucien Delray
The Jedi covenant temple over there has been excavated, which is undoubtedly a great improvement. (To be continued)
