Star Wars: The Silver Pledge

Chapter 21 Please Pay the Bill

When he opened his eyes again, Sean saw a vast expanse of white light.

The dream-like light made him stunned for half a second, and the next moment, he quickly gathered his mind, and all the muscles in his body tensed up.

Then came a sharp pain.

There is pain everywhere in the body, and the intense pain that hits instantly is like a mountain roaring and tsunami, enough to shatter the mind of an ordinary human being. The Jedi apprentice couldn't help trembling, and forcibly endured it with stubborn willpower.

His vision quickly became clear. He saw that the white light in front of him came from a fluorescent lamp surrounded by a dazzling white ceiling. Before he could take a closer look, he heard a man's voice with great interest.

"Oh, you woke up so quickly? Is this batch of Bhakta liquid particularly high-quality, or you have a special physique that deserves to be dissected and studied?"

Hearing this voice, a row of adjectives immediately appeared in Sean's mind: young, full of energy, expressive, and condescending.

In general, this is a proud yet cautious character.

Sean raised a little nervousness.

"Don't be so nervous, you can't do anything, the seriously injured should recuperate well, don't think about what you have or what you don't have."

As the sound approached, Sean felt an extra hand on his neck, which was cold to the touch, but implied murderous intent.

A Jedi apprentice would never let an enemy touch his neck easily, but at this moment he couldn't move, couldn't resist.

He had already struggled subconsciously, but his whole body was caught in a tight band, completely resisting, but the movement of resistance caused the young voice to be surprised.

"Oh, the power index is so high!? I can't tell, is there any special bloodline?"

It was only then that Xiao En realized that everything about him was under the control of the other party, and even the strength when he broke free was measured.

So he immediately relaxed his muscles and calmed down. Years of Jedi training allowed him to control his body and mind very well, and he soon calmed down and thought seriously.

His reaction was a little irritable just now, maybe it was because the turbulent emotions before going to bed were still lingering, which made him not calm enough to deal with it.

In fact, I should also know that if I fell asleep in a strange place, it would definitely not end well when I woke up.

"Hey, you calmed down so quickly? It's kind of boring, you man, I'm looking forward to your yelling. If I had known this, I would have brought some stimulants when I sprayed you with bacta spray."

Sean turned a deaf ear to this, and didn't even roll his eyes, because he had already heard that the man was standing behind him. And from his current angle, no matter how much he turned his eyes, he couldn't see the other party.

What's more, if you want to observe the other party, you don't necessarily need to roll your eyes.

Although his whole body was locked up and he couldn't break free, his sense of touch was paralyzed by the rolling pain and basically failed. Even what you see and hear may not be the other party's disguise, and it is not credible.

But under the guidance of the Force, the Jedi apprentices gradually realized the truth.

The ubiquitous force is like gentle tentacles, clearly sensing and transmitting everything around to Sean's mind.

This is still the cargo hold of the warship, but all the lights have been turned on, and all the surrounding metal boxes have been squeezed into the corners, leaving a spacious and white space.

And there is a person standing behind Xiao En, who is about the same height as him, a little thin, and there is a surge of life energy hidden in his body that does not match his body shape.

Standing beside the man was a humanoid robot, with smooth lines and shining silver light. Five slender fingers rested on the Jedi apprentice's neck, bringing a cold touch and a killing intent that made the hairs stand on end.

There are only two people and a machine in Yaobai's cargo hold, while the world outside the cargo hold is dimly perceived, like a black hole. The contrast of black and white makes the cargo hold look like a cage, full of loneliness.

Master's figure suddenly appeared in Xiao En's mind, and his breathing rhythm became chaotic.

"Hey, did this kid come up with some secret? His breathing is a little messy. Give him an 'advanced confession plan' to try?"

Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but feel inspired, ready to deal with severe torture. As a Jedi apprentice, his self-control is far superior to that of ordinary people, but his resistance is severely reduced due to serious injuries, so he can only go all out.

"Haha, this kid is serious. Bai, that plan is useless. With this kid's IQ, we should be able to dig out the truth with a few words of foolishness. The supporting consumables for the plan are expensive, so save as much as you can."

Xiao En didn't feel angry when he heard the words, because he could tell that the other party intended to be provocative at all, and he wasn't afraid that he would know, it was simply just wanting to indulge in his mouth.

"Bai, this kid seems to have seen through me, so let's do something to him."

At this time, the soft female voice was heard from the robot: "Suzaku and the others are looking for you."

The man behind him said in shock, "I told them to change their titles. A group of bald, obese middle-aged bandits call themselves Suzaku without knowing their heights, but I can't accommodate them with my aesthetics."

"That group of bald, obese middle-aged gangsters are looking for you."

"Forget it, let's call it Suzaku, I'll bear it."

While speaking, the robot spread out its other hand, and immediately projected a three-dimensional image from the palm. Sean couldn't see the whole picture, but he could hear the sound.

The other party had a strong local accent, and his words were slurred, but his voice was surprisingly loud, which was a standard pirate style.

"Li, is that person with you?!"

The person behind him laughed: "Who is that person? The one who was chased and intercepted by more than two hundred of you, and was bombarded indiscriminately by dozens of fighter planes, but he was safe and sound?"

"Sure enough, it's with you! Hurry up and hand it over to me!"

"Why? This is my trophy, okay?"

"He killed our brother!"

"It's not my brother, what does it have to do with me? I didn't make that vulgar and stupid blood oath with you. We just don't violate the river, and it's not a particularly close ally. You didn't let us near the manor, we It doesn't matter what you do."

"The surname is Li, do you have to cover him?"

"Is there a problem with protecting your trophies? Those security forces also killed your people. Aren't you very enthusiastic about handing over their guns, and you didn't see you dismantling the guns to vent your anger?"

"Li Yu, I advise you to think carefully, that man killed our brother, and if you protect him, you are making an enemy of all of us who swore blood!"

The voice in the communicator was almost roaring, making one seem to see a face with shattered eyes.

But Li Yu's voice suddenly became cold.

"Huang Shou, I should be the one who advises you to think carefully. Are you mobs really ready to be my enemy?"

After speaking, Li Yu directly hung up the communication.

Bai commented, "Li Yu, you've talked a lot of nonsense."

"I didn't say it to him at first. Isn't there a little guy who doesn't know anything about the status quo?" Li Yu smiled, "Be gentle and considerate with the spoils of war. Well, let him go, it should be There's nothing wrong with that."

"This person is very dangerous, I suggest you reconsider."

Li Yu said: "This is our territory, I still have you by my side, so don't worry about him being seriously injured. And he is not a person who repays kindness, so don't worry about what he will do to me."

Bai then withdrew his cold fingers, and removed the magnetic belt that bound Xiao En's body.

Once Xiao En regained his freedom, he jumped out of the metal box and turned to look at Li Yu.

He was a native of the Qiankun Galaxy, about thirty years old, with black hair and black eyes, a heroic figure, and a mocking smile on his face, like a scabbard covering a sharp edge, which made him look a little cynical, and made it difficult for others to see his real thoughts.

The robot beside Li Yu [White], as its name suggests, is a pure white robot that is slender and exquisite like a work of art. Its outline is as delicate as a fully simulated robot, but there is no cloned skin on its body. The pure white painting is simple and elegant. Arrogant, as if disdaining to imitate human beings.

It stood quietly beside Li Yu, but in Sean's intuition, it was a more dangerous opponent than Li Yu.

"Don't be so nervous, relax a bit, it's rare to climb back from the gate of hell, you should face life more positively."

Sean was unmoved by this kind of insincere chicken soup for the soul, but kept speculating about his situation in his heart. Judging from the conversation just now, he should have left the asteroid where the manor is located, and flew into space with Li Yu's warship.

This is of course a good thing, it's better than dying under the guns of pirates, but it's not perfect, because I haven't won my freedom yet.

Li Yu smiled and said: "When you are unconscious for less than two standards, we are still in the asteroid belt, and we will have to wait a while before we can enter the next stage of the route. I have nothing to do during this time, so why not chat .First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Li Yu, the head of the famous [Silver Knights], and this is my assistant Bai."

Before Xiao En had time to reply, Bai reminded him from the side: "There is no [Knight Order] culture in the Qiankun galaxy, you are not asking yourself."

"If you don't put it bluntly, why don't you call yourself?" Li Yu explained, "Maybe it's because we admire foreign cultures?"

"Your arrogant words and deeds just now have fully demonstrated that you essentially do not admire any culture or any individual."

Li Yu said to Xiao En with a little embarrassment: "Bai prefers to argue and tear down the stage, so please ignore her. In short, we are destined to know each other like this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sean.

He said his name in Gan Galaxy in fluent Qiankun language: "[Xiao En], thank you for saving your life, Captain Li."

Xiao En is willing to accept the persona of the leader of the Knights that Li Yu casually mentioned, so correspondingly, he doesn't have to declare his family name.

Li Yu suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Talking to a smart person, the advantage is to save worry, and the disadvantage is to save lines. That's okay, let's get straight to the point. Although I just told Huang Shou that you are my trophy, but I've never been in the human business, so living people are not considered spoils of war."

Sean nodded: "So this is not considered to protect the spoils, but to save lives, I remember."

"I remember too." Li Yu said, stretching his hand to the side, and then saw Bai's right wrist swipe and light up the faint blue bill projection, which listed a very detailed list of charges, "Save your life , We spent more than 500,000 Qiankun coins on the cost of materials alone, and the opportunity cost of fighting against the yellow hand is also 500,000, which adds up to one million, please pay the bill."
