Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 17: Inquire About News



Chapter 17: Inquire About News

While the engineering robot was renovating the spaceship, Quinto chatted with Truda, they were old acquaintances.

"Speaking of which, where did Fellaci go? Why didn't you come here?" Truda asked, "The few people over there look unfamiliar."

He pointed at Trent, Tang Xiao and others.

"They're my new...uh..." Quinto began to think about what to say. He couldn't say that Felassie was kept as a hostage by Tang Xiao on Dawn Planet, right?

"Partner." Trent said later.

"Ah yes, partner!" Quinto quickly echoed.

"Okay, clean your ass by yourself. I have informed Jabba, and his people should be here soon." Truda said.

"Hey, old man! How dare you lie to me! I just got to Tatooine and I must drink a glass of water!" Quinto complained.

Truda sneered and said, "We all work for Jabba, you should know that."

Sure enough, just as they were talking, a few people dressed as bounty hunters walked outside and yelled loudly as soon as they entered the door: "Quinto! Come out for me! Where is Jabba's request?"

Quinto trembled in fright. He glanced at Tang Xiao with a begging look but he didn't get any response, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll... right away."

"You guys, unload and load the goods! Jabba wants these things!" Another Twi'lek mercenary yelled at Tang Xiao, shaking a blaster rifle in his hand.

This Blaster Rifle looks like a military product, and it is much more upscale than the cheap DL-18 Blaster Pistols in the hands of Quinto and his party. No wonder they are so frivolous.

T-850 stepped forward to give this provocative guy a little color. But Tang Xiao stopped him and said, "Okay, let's load it!"

With that said, he didn't feel too dirty, walked into the cargo hold of the spaceship, carried a large box out and put it on a 'Bantha-II' suspended cargo ship, several bounty hunters watched Tang Xiao and the others with their hands behind their backs the whole time busy. Then one of them threw Quinto a handful of gold coins and walked away.

Quinto nodded and said loudly: "Hey!! It's only 2,000 upi! Didn't you agree on 5,000?!"

Wupiupi Coin is the currency that circulates on Tatooine. Tatooine is located in the Outer Rim star region, and it is also the sphere of influence of the Hutts. The credit points of the Galactic Republic have not been recognized, and this unofficial currency is the real hard currency.

But those bounty hunters didn't stop, and one of them turned around and mocked, "It's good to give you the money! Take it, useless mufu milker, hahahaha."

Quinto's face changed several times, and he raised his middle finger fiercely in that direction when the cargo boat was far away, "A group of bantha mothers!"

Trent was very free and easy. He walked over and hugged Quinto's shoulders and shook and said: "It's okay, isn't there some money here? Let's do a few jobs at that time. When our colony is built Now, there will be a lot of work, and there is no need to look at Jabba's face."

"Jabba..." Quinto bowed his head at the mention of the name.

"Let's go, find a place to have a drink, I'll treat you," Trent said.

"In the end, it's not my money, I just ask for it." Quinto shook his head with a wry smile.

They entered the city of Mos Eisley all the way. The city was completely unplanned and had no well-marked roads. There were only miscellaneous houses and shantytowns, like a huge slum.

There are all kinds of alien races on the road, and all of them wear cloaks to protect them from the scorching sun. Some people are selling strange goods, and some people are asking around for jobs, or they are mercenaries leaning against the wall with weapons, waiting for business.

Generally, those mercenaries try their best to put on a fierce expression, trying to make themselves appear more powerful.

At this time, a cylindrical robot like a bamboo pole walked through the street carrying a few Quarren heads. Pedestrians on the road retreated one after another, and those ferocious-looking mercenaries ran the fastest.

Some passers-by were still whispering, "Look, it's those Quarren from the Iron Fish Gang! They robbed Jabba's cargo ship a few days ago..."

Quinto also pulled away Tang Xiao who was watching curiously, out of the way. He whispered: "This is IG-41, one of Jabba's bounty hunters. Stay away from it, and it will shoot directly at anything it considers to prevent the mission."

Tang Xiao didn't speak. He glanced at the robot, then turned his head away, and followed Quinto to a bar in Mos Eisley. Good and evil are mixed here, all kinds of robots and aliens mix together, use the little income they earn from working hard to buy some inferior alcoholic drinks, and then vent their excess energy.

The Quarren who looked like a squid, the Gamor who looked like a big wild boar, were similar to humans, but with two tentacles on their heads, and the Twi'leks with different skin colors... This place is like a rare zoo.

Trent is also very new to this place. As soon as he entered the bar, he asked Quinto to get some change and wandered around. Soon he hooked up with a Twilek woman and went drinking happily.

But Tang Xiao went straight to the large oval bar in the middle of the bar, called the bartender, ordered a glass of wine and drank one gulp, at the same time threw out a Wupiupi coin and said in a low voice: "I want to inquire about the sky. News from the Xingzhe family."

The bartender put away the coins calmly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear while wiping the plates: "They live in Port Mos Espa, and they are slaves of a Toydarian garbage dealer Watto—— He won it at a gamble from Gardulla the Hutt, and it's been rumored for a long time."

Tang Xiao took out another coin and pushed it over, "I want to find them, do you have any suggestions?"

The bartender put away the coins again, put the plates neatly one by one, and said at the same time: "Mos Espa Port is the territory of the Hutt Gardulla, you know, Jabba and Gardulla, the Hutt The relationship between people... huh. You work for Jabba, you know what's going to happen."

No one can believe that this place is really mixed with fish and dragons, Tang Xiao thought to himself. I was immediately taken away by Jabba's people when I first came to this planet, and the people here knew the news so quickly.

Tang Xiao weighed the last Wupi Wupi coin in his hand, and was just about to say something, when suddenly he felt a strong force pushing him aside, and he was about to get angry when he frowned, when he turned around, he saw only one The drunk man, who was obviously drunk, lay on the bar next to him, exhaled the pungent smell of alcohol and said, "Hey! What about you, little pink skin? How about it, do you want to cooperate with me to make some money?"

Tang Xiao made a gesture to stop the T-850 who was about to attack, and asked, "Tell me, what can you do?"

"Hahahaha! Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh, you must have money at home, right? Hiccup~~~! I kidnapped you, and then you ask your family for money to redeem, how about it? Hahahaha~~~~ Hiccup~~~!!" The drunk man laughed loudly while talking, and several people who should be with him at the other table next to him also laughed in agreement.
