Marvel Plane Trader Chapter 245

  Chapter 245 The arrival of the Jedi Knights

  The next day, on the Tatooine planet Mos Espa, the city where Anakin Skywalker was, a small group of humans in uniform appeared in the city.

  The guards in the city just looked at it for a while, but didn't pay much attention to it.

  Because the planet Tatooine under the control of the Hutts was originally a free trade port with chaotic law and order. Basically, if you have money, you can buy everything here, including slaves that have been completely abolished in the Old Republic.

  So anyone can appear here, and a team of humans in uniform is really nothing new.

Of course, the relatively chaotic law and order does not mean that there is no order here. If someone really dares to make a big fuss in Tatooine, the Hutts will let them know the consequences—although it looks like a fat belly However, the Hutts were one of the earliest races in the Star Wars world to master interstellar navigation technology, and they were able to establish a Hutt space (empire) on an equal footing with the Republic, which is enough to illustrate the powerful background of this race.

  Even Jedi Knights don't want to easily offend the Hutts.

   This is why when Qui-Gon Jinn and the others made an emergency landing on Tatooine, they were clearly in a difficult situation, but they had to follow the rules here, and they couldn't even take a mere slave (Anakin's mother) away.

  However, the purpose of this group of humans seems to be very clear. After entering the city, they did not wander the streets, but went to the west of the city.

Because the environment of the planet Tatooine is harsh and the resources are relatively scarce, the entire Mos Espa appears to be very backward. All the houses are dome-shaped earth and stone buildings. Walking on the street, if not for all kinds of people passing by from time to time Aliens, robots and all kinds of suspended or flying vehicles, it is hard to believe that this is an interstellar metropolis, not a small Middle Eastern city.

   Soon, this team of humans stopped in front of a small house in the west of the city.

   This is an interstellar grocery store that sells and purchases various second-hand mechanical parts.

  As soon as the first humans stepped into the store, a short, fat creature with blue skin, rough teeth, and rapidly flapping small wings flew over.

This is Watu, the owner of this grocery store, a Toydalian. This is a race that is good at communicating and doing business. He is very business-minded. His existence in the Star Wars world is somewhat similar to Azeroth. Goblins, but not as addicted to money as goblins.

   "Hello, what do you want to buy?" Watto was very excited when the business came early in the morning.

   But at this time, Watto didn't notice that in the warehouse not far behind him, there was a small head carefully looking over here.

  The owner of this little head is Anakin Skywalker, and Watto is also the owner of the slave contract between Anakin Skywalker and his mother Shmi Skywalker.

  The human beings that suddenly appeared in this team are undoubtedly the tool people that Josie traded to Anakin in advance and who have gone through Yuri's special brainwashing course.

  But although they are tool people, it does not mean that they have no thinking ability.

  In fact, except for their loyalty to Yuri, their thinking is actually not much different from normal humans. This is the terrible thing about Yuri's mind control.

   And these people are not all ordinary people. Among them, the team leader is proficient in business negotiations, and the rest are excellent reinforced fighters.

   "All!" said the leader of the tool man.

   "What?" Watto was taken aback when he heard the words of the leader of the tool man. His little head couldn't process the huge information contained in these two short words for a while.

   "I said, I want everything! The goods in your store, and your store!" The tool man leader said with a smile.

   "Hahahahaha, customer, don't make such jokes with me. Do you know how much my shop and the items in my shop are worth?" Watto laughed loudly.

  However, the leader of the tool man didn't talk nonsense, he just gestured backwards, and two tool men stepped forward, bang bang, took out two heavy leather bags from their bodies, and threw them on the counter.

  ... Watto fell silent, good guy, judging from the size of the bag and the sound of the metal colliding inside, you can tell that there is a lot of money in it. Are these weird humans really here?

   "Can I open it and have a look?" Watto asked the tool man leader after hesitating for a while.

   "Please feel free!" The leader of the tool man spread his hands indifferently.

  Watou, who got the permission, couldn't help but rubbed his hands together, and flew to the bag to open it—fuck, it's so easy to dodge.

  It's all gold inside.

  With Watu's eyesight, it can be confirmed at a glance that there are thousands of pure gold here.

   "How is it?" The tool man asked with a smile when he saw Watto covering his eyes.

   "Although the number is quite a lot, it's not enough!" Watto closed the bag, rolling his eyes.

  Of course, this is purely extravagant asking prices. In fact, these two big bags of money are enough to sell his shop twice.

   "Oh, greed is not a good habit, if that's the case, forget it!" Seeing this, the leader of the tool man raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to take the money away.

   "Deal! Deal!" Seeing this, Watu hurriedly said, MD, with this large sum of money, he can open a bigger store in another place, how could he miss it?

   "A wise decision!" The leader of the tool man nodded in satisfaction and told his subordinates to retreat.

   Soon, the two parties signed a sale agreement.

   "Anakin, Shmi, it's time for us to go!" After signing the sale and purchase agreement, Watto put the money in the safe, guarded by two armed droids, and shouted to the back of the shop.

   "Wait, Mr. Watto, I think you overlooked a problem!" The tool man leader stopped Watto's behavior.

   "What?" Watto was puzzled.

   "That's not true, but remember? I said that I would buy everything in the store—including your slaves, so this child and this woman are mine too!" the leader of the tool man emphasized.

   "What? That's wrong! They're not from my store!" Hearing this, Watto quit.

   "...Mr. Watto seems to have forgotten that on Tatooine, slaves are goods, so they are naturally included in the contract... How about we go to the Trade Commission to file a lawsuit?" The tool man said with a smile.

"..." Watto was stunned. This is true. If in the Republic, the slave trade is prohibited, but in Tatooine, slaves are indeed included in the goods, just because Watto has never experienced a serious slave trade before— Anakin's mother and son were won by Jabba the Hutt, the boss of the local gangster, by betting on speeding cars, not bought.

  So, I was tricked for no reason?

  The Toydalians, who are good at doing business, were actually taken advantage of by a human being during the transaction. If you say this, you will be laughed to death.

   Fortunately, Wotu is still not losing money on this business. After all, the price of two human slaves is not very high. Even if he is inexplicably exploited by a loophole in the transaction, he will still make a lot of money.

   It's just this feeling of being tricked, which really makes Watto a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, you won...Shmi, Anakin, this gentleman will be your new master from now on." After a little silence, Watto looked helplessly at Anakin who was slightly excited. , and with a look of panic, said to Shi Mi who was about to change his master again.

Knowing that this lawsuit could not be won by the Mos Espa Trade Council, Watto could only accept the fact that Anakin and his son no longer belonged to him—although the law and order in Tatooine was chaotic, normal transactions were still possible. absolutely protected.

  At least in the city, it is still guaranteed.

   Otherwise, if there is no guarantee at all, Tatooine will not become a famous black market trading planet in the border area between Hutt and the Republic.

  Of course, leaving the city and leaving the jurisdiction of the Hutts is another matter.

   But looking at the costumes of a few humans, I know that they are not easy to mess with.

  So Watto didn't have any idea of ​​finding fault, so he could only leave with the money lost—this was probably a business that he clearly made money in his life, but he couldn't be happy about it.

  Looking at the back of Watto who left, Anakin was both excited and emotional.

  Although they were slaves, Watto treated them very well. Apart from being a bit grumpy, he didn't abuse their mother and son just because they were slaves.

"Anakin, from today onwards, you and your mother are free. However, according to the leader's plan, you can still be wronged for a while in your current status. Of course, you don't need to do the work in the shop!" After Watto left, the leader of the tool man smiled and said to Anakin.

   "Of course, thank you, Mr. Anderson, I will cooperate!" Anakin nodded.

"What? Anakin, what's going on here?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Shi Mi was panicked at being traded again and didn't know what kind of person the new owner was. Surprised afterwards.

   "Mom, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, they are actually my friend's subordinates, from now on, we are free!" Anakin said excitedly hugging his mother.

   "Yes, ma'am, not only are you free, but Anakin will also have a bright and brand-new path!" The leader of the tool man named Anderson said with a smile.

   "What bright and brand-new way?" Shmi puzzled.

   "Become a Jedi!" Anderson said in a deep voice. …………………………

  Time passed quickly. More than a month later, a luxurious Naboo spaceship entered Tatooine and made an emergency landing outside the city of Mos Espa.

   Not long after, a middle-aged man in a coarse robe, with a weird Gungan, a handsome maid and a cute R2-D2 robot, entered the city.

   are the protagonists of Star Wars Phantom Menace.

   Jedi Knight Qui-Gon, Jar Jar Binks, Naboo Queen Amidala who pretended to be a maid and ran around with the Jedi Knights.

   Just like the attraction of fate, Qui Gang Jin found the small shop where Anakin was located just like in the original plot.

  At this time, Anakin was assembling a flying shuttle in the backyard of the store, and the leader of the tool man named Anderson, incarnated as a shopkeeper, stood at the front desk.

   When Kui Gangjin walked into the store, he was a little surprised to see that the boss behind the counter was actually a human being.

"What do you need?" Anderson fiddled with the equipment in front of him without raising his head. In fact, the first time Qui-Gon Jinn and the others entered the city, they had already been reported to him by his subordinates. They knew that they were the ones who came in. important goals.

   "We need the engine of the J-type 327 Rebia spacecraft!" Kui Gangjin said after scanning the shop.

"You're lucky, basically I'm the only one who owns the entire Mos Espa, but to be honest, it's more cost-effective to buy the engine parts of that thing than to buy a new boat!" Anderson raised his head and said, at the same time Turning his head and shouting, "Anakin, pour tea!"

  This spaceship is like some luxury cars on Earth, and the parts may be more expensive than the whole car.

  After a month of familiarization, Anderson also knows all kinds of "garbage" in the store like the back of his hand.

And when he heard Anderson's "sign", Anakin also rushed out and poured water for several people, as if it was the same as before, but this time, he also saw the incomparably beautiful Amidala.

   "This is the list, how much do you need?" Qui-Gon Jinn signaled R2-D2 to come forward and show the list of data.

   "Twenty thousand ubi ubi!" Anderson immediately gave the price!

   "How about the Galaxy credits?" Kui Gang Jin asked?

   "Galaxy Credits? No, no, no, Galaxy Credits don't work here at all. I only accept physical currency." Anderson immediately refused.

   "I only have credit points, and I believe this is available!" Qui-Gon Jinn waved slightly at Anderson.

   "No, no!" Anderson shook his head.

   "I say yes!" Qui Gang Jin waved again.

   "No, no!" Anderson refused again, and at the same time sneered, "Enough, Jedi Knight, stop playing your tricks, mind control doesn't work for me!"

Jedi knights can also control their minds, but that is just a by-product of the Force. If they have a stronger mind, they can be immune. Compared with professionals like Yuri who control minds, they are still a lot worse, so Anderson is not affected at all. .

   Seeing Anderson yelling out his identity directly, Qui Gang Jin and Amidala, who was talking with Anakin, couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

   "How do you know I'm a Jedi?" Qui Gang Jin frowned and asked.

   "Because I have been in contact with... and have you seen that child? Use your force to sense it!" Anderson sneered again, pointing at Anakin and disdainful.

   "That child, you said that child has the force?" Kui Gang Jin really didn't pay much attention.

   "Hehe, let's not talk about this. If you have such leisure, you might as well think about how to pay!" Anderson didn't continue to say more, but changed the subject.

   "...we don't have currency here." Qui-Gon Jinn frowned.

   "...Actually, it's okay if you don't have any money, how about we take a gamble?" A hint of slyness appeared on Anderson's face.
