THE BLOOD OF JAVA
JAVANESE BLOOD: EPISODE 141
Utari Gita and Bamantara use the method previously used by Patih Kinjiri. But this time disguised as a wanderer. They go around one place to another. In fact, they also had met some people in one of the villages in the territory of the Kingdom of Bala Bathara.
The two of them started everything from the Bala Bathara Kingdom first. Because the kingdom is not too dangerous to be infiltrated by the two of them. Utari Gita and Bamantara were dressed like two ordinary warriors who were looking for a teacher to guide them.
In order for the drama they did more convincing, Bamantara and Utari Gita entered one of the stoves of canuragan science led by a teacher named Mbah Kangkas. Mbah Kangkas is a teacher who is quite famous in the area of Bala Bathara Kingdom.
Mbah Kangkas was also once known as a great swordsman, and was very difficult to beat. When he first entered the temple, Utari Gita and Bamantara were greeted very kindly by the administrators of the store. Likewise with Mbah Kangkas, who would gladly accept them as students.
"Are you sure we're not putting ourselves at risk?" Bamantara asked Utari Gita in a whispering tone.
"That's it. Just chill. Don't worry. Everything will go according to plan."
"How am I not worried? We are in the lion's den right now. If it's discovered, then we're both done."
"That's it. Don't talk much. Just do all my plans."
Because we want to argue again, Bamantara can only obey what Utari Gita said to him. Although he was actually very worried, because their position was really like being in a lion's den. There are so many great people in this place, who they should not take for granted.
Especially with Mbah Kangkas, although at the age of very old, which is one hundred and seventy-five years, but Mbah Kangkas is still really agile. It was seen how from the way he trained his students so hard. And all of his martial moves were still very nimble.
Utari Gita and Bamantara were given a special place, because they also gave some coins that amounted to quite a lot.
"I'm sorry, I'm charging a training fee because this store also needs a good future. And there are still many things that need to be developed in this place. Especially now that things have gotten more complicated, because Prabu Barajang has started to interfere in the war." Mbah Kangkas said to the two of them.
"Yes Mbah Kangkas, things are really difficult at this time. We also constantly move places." Reply Utari Gita.
"Then why don't you just enter the territory of the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela?" Ask Mbah Kangkas.
At once Utari Gita and Bamantara were surprised by the question. Fortunately, Utari Gita was able to find a suitable answer to that question.
"We are indeed Mbah warriors, but we are not very fond of war. We put peace forward." Reply Utari Gita.
"Yes. And so are all of us in this place. All the results obtained from the training costs of the students, most of it is channeled to the community." Mbah Kangkas.
Mbah Kangkas also explained that Prabu Barajang likes to cheat on his own people. Prabu Barajang often ordered the soldiers to invite the young men to join the military of the Bala Bathara Kingdom. Will be promised a great wage, because it will get a very large task as well.
Prabu Barajang always kills everyone who gets a special assignment from him. Except for the ones who are really important, and have great potential to stay afloat in the royal palace of the Bala Bathara Kingdom. What is considered useless will be removed.
Not infrequently padepokan Mbah Kangkas visited by messengers from the palace. Obviously they aim to take the best students that are in this field. However, Mbah Kangkas never allowed the soldiers, nor did the palace envoys take his disciples.
Mbah Kangkas and his best students always try to fight, both in a subtle way and a rough way. So often there is a dispute between Mbah Kangkas and the Royal Palace of Bala Bathara. And many times also Prabu Barajang trying to destroy the paddlepokan Mbah Kangkas.
But until now none of Prabu Barajang's plans have been successful. Because Mbah Kangkas always has a way to make his paddle is always safe from palace attacks. Or at the very least, Mbah Kangkas has another place to isolate himself and his students.
After everything goes better then Mbah Kangkas participants his students will return again to this padepokan. And after entering the private room Mbah Kangkas, it was only revealed, if actually Mbah Kangkas already knew who Utari Gita and Bamantara really were.
Bamantara and Utari Gita had already prepared with their hands holding swords on their backs. But here Mbah Kangkas confirmed one thing to them, that Mbah Kangkas is still one path with the two of them. They have the same enemy.
In other words, Mbah Kangkas is also actually hostile to Prabu Barajang, as well as being a great enemy of the Bala Bathara Kingdom.
"How can you know about us?" Ask Bamantara.
"I am a teacher of kanuragan science. So you should've known I couldn't be lied to." Answer Mbah Kangkas.
Mbah Kangkas told the two of them to sit down and say what their next plan was. Because secretly, Mbah Kangkas and all his students have put up a fight against Prabu Barajang, who likes to deceive his own people.
Mbah Kangkas hopes that Utari Gita and Bamantara will help him in the fight. Because as strong as Mbah Kangkas, he still has weaknesses. And Mbah Kangkas needs the help of the likes of Utari Gita and Bamantara, to stay by his side.
Utari Gita and Bamantara agreed, and promised to help Mbah Kangkas. On condition, Mbah Kangkas can prove that he really does not side with Prabu Barajang. Utari Gita and Bamantara still can not believe fully what Mbah Kangkas said. Because this is their first meeting.
"Three more days, my students will attack some factories in the city. To get food resources. And I want one of you to lead the attack. So you can see everything for yourself." Babah Kasang.
"Okay Mbah, we both agreed. And it is Bamantara who will lead the disciples that to make the attack. I will watch from a distance." Utari Gita.
"alright. You guys rest first. We'll talk again." Said Mbah Kangkas while leaving his private room.
Utari Gita and Bamantara rest in a private room owned by Mbah Kangkas. The room was spacious and more than enough for the two of them to rest their already exhausted bodies, due to the distance of the journey. Bamantara, who was upset by Utari Gita's proposal, also had no appetite to discuss it anymore.
Most importantly right now the two of them were already safe, and had a suitable place for them to live in for a while. At least until more mature planning in the future. It would be very suspicious if they walked in public. Because they are strangers in this place. And still very easy to recognize.
