Galadriel fell into deep mediation.
She originally planed to return to Middle Earth after this meeting, her people needed her. Both the orcs in Mordor and Saruman are major threat, they need her ring's protection.
But a far greater threat came from this strange and dangerous world.
This world, or galaxy was so massive, much bigger than her own world and had so many powerful beings and advanced armies.
Even Morgoth wasn't a bigger threat compare to them.
Their technology was too advanced, even if the Middle Earth forces united together, they still would not stand a chance.
Galadriel experienced the first and second age's war, compare to those battles, the War of the Ring was just minor conflict. she was also able to resist even the One Ring's seduction.
However, even Eru might not be able to protect her people from the current threat. She already had nightmare since those troops appeared.
If she could not get some power from this galaxy, the best outcome would just be let her people's fate rely upon the "twin brother" of Saruman's mercy.
Count Dooku was so polite before her. Galadriel was satisfied with that. But she was also very clear that the Sith Lord had the upper hand right now.
No matter how friendly he was, his strength and ambition always made him a threat.
Even if he didn't want to harm her, she still would never allow herself and her people rely on such a politician.
Not only personal ambitions and hatred could lead people into darkness.
If she didn't want to rely on Dooku, She must find power and claim it to survive.
The searchof power would no doubt lead her into darkness, or even being consumed by it.
She wanted to make a choice between the survival of her people and keep her own soul away from corruption.
In fact, there was no choice.
The leader of the elves ultimately chose not to leave, but stay there for a while and try to gather some knowledge.
Under Count Dooku's permission, she observed a lot of battle record through hologram devices. She noted that those troops with white armor were lead by special individuals, they used the same weapon as Count Dooku. These individuals were so strong and swift, they could slice down ten enemies within seconds and deflect hundreds of beams back to the shooters by using their light sword. Swiftness of action is unprecedented. So there were so many users of this power and various races could use it.
Compared with those technology, this thing really attracted her attention.
It was amazing.
It could let such an old man become a better swordsman than the greatest champions of Middle Earth, and cast out powerful spell alike attack but did not rely on the environment.
This is, the Force?
It was a mysterious name, but she could feel the power through that. She was eager to know more about the Force after she saw the effect of it.
The arrogant elf believed she would certainly be able to harness the power of the Force and surpass this insidious Sith Lord before her.
If her people could grasp the Force, no invaders would be a threat before them.
"Excuse me, Count Dooku, can everyone use the Force?" Galadriel went to meet with Dooku and directly asked
.
"My lady, are you interested in the Force?" Count Dooku was not surprised, but put on a smile and replied.
"This Force is indeed marvelous. and it has even begun to affect my world. To understand and master its power is surely a wise thing to do." Dooku could not see the desire for power from the elf's eyes, there was only the strong will to save her people.
"All beings' body contain different numbers of midi-chlorian, it carries the Force. But individuals with high midi-chlorian count can use the Force. We called them Force sensitives." Count Dooku smiled after seeing the elf was interested in the Force. "Saruman could use a bit power of the Force only because some mysterious connection between him and me, along with his magic. Actually I secretly did some research and took a few sample from the races in Middle Earth. Unfortunately, most of the races, including yours, do not have strong connection with the Force. Of course, a few individuals might indeed be Force-sensitives. "
"So how about me, Dooku?" Galadriel was a little bit disappointed.
" My lady, I will have to take a blood sample from you to find the answer."
Watching the leader of the elves lifted her white arms, the Count called his medical droids to collect blood samples from her for midi-chlorian analysis, this process took less than an hour.
The Sith Lord looked at the result carefully for a while, then finally break the silence.
"Unfortunately, my lady. Despite being better than most of your brethren, you are not Force-sensitive."
Galadriel's face turned stern, she started to think the Count was lying.
Count Dooku said slowly: " If I can help you master the Force, it will only help you understand my goal better, even accept it. If you don't trust me, I could also send you to other places to examine. There are so many places in this galaxy to count midi-chlorian." He then took his own blood sample and spent a lot of efforts to explain. Galadriel had no choice but to give up.
"is there any other way to master the Force?" The elf frowned.
Dooku thought for a moment then replied "My master once said by injecting the blood of Force sensitive, along with some special ritual can work temporally, but even in our world, it is difficult to keep injecting so much blood. "
Inject the blood of the Force-sensitives? She wondered.
Galadriel suddenly had an idea, it could work.
But it was.. just crazy, she was surprised why would this idea come out from her mind, like someone placed the idea into her mind. The leader of the elves could not help herself and shake for a moment, her face also turned red. She was afraid that even the Sith Lord would be very surprised if such idea came out from her mouth.
"Lady Galadriel, are you okay?" Dooku asked with concern.
"I ... I ..." Galadriel didn't know what to do at this moment, it almost never happened in her life.
