On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the Ruler Manor was filled with busy servants under Zahra's orders. They perform various tasks such as cleaning and decorating the manor with beautiful lanterns and paintings. In the back kitchen, the activities were even more crowded as the chefs had already started preparing dishes for the dinner to be held by the Regent in the Ruler's Manor. All important generals and officials are invited to celebrate together.
In front of the Ruler Manor, a bustling atmosphere was felt as the square had been decorated and the stage of the performance had already been set up. Tonight, the troupe will perform and share happiness with the common people who also participate in the celebration. The commoners had the opportunity to watch the show, and the Ruler Manor was not just for the elites alone.
After Heru Cokro left, four guards followed him. He headed for the almost completed Jawa Dwipa Military Academy. Without thinking of taking a walk, Heru Cokro headed straight for the Drona Residence after getting word yesterday that the residence was preparing to welcome his arrival. Ki Ageng Djugo even put aside his wishes and delayed to have his medical book remain at the residence. With Heru Cokro's current position, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with calling the two of them to the Ruler's Residence, but he decided to visit them personally as a sign of the highest respect.
Drona's influence also played a role in this decision. Although in ancient times the position of the doctor was not so respected, as a modern person, Heru Cokro would not denigrate Ki Ageng Djugo and Aswatama. He treated them with the same respect.
When he met Heru Cokro, Ashwatama did not act cold, on the contrary, he was very excited. Ashwatama expressed his intention to leave and join the military, and Heru Cokro was very pleased with the decision. Yesterday, Heru Cokro had already gathered advice from Drona to reorganize the military structure, and Ashwatama's arrival was key to completing a crucial component in his plan.
After speaking with Ashwatama, Heru Cokro also listened to Ki Ageng Djugo. With a gentle smile, Heru Cokro said, "Master, since you came to Java Dwipa, I will try my best as a king. The medical department has a large house that is currently unused. Do you want to live there?"
Ki Ageng Djugo had heard rumors about it, so he understood what the Regent of Gresik wanted. He realized that the Regent wanted him to settle down and work in the medical department. Heru Cokro then convinced Ki Ageng Djugo, "Master, you don't have to think about it too much. The medical department will not restrict your freedom. In addition, we will provide waiters and resources for your long-distance travel. The only condition was to recruit some disciples to help the department."
Hearing those words, Ki Ageng Djugo felt tempted. He thought about his introduction to Drona and finally made up his mind, "I can't refuse all your kindness!"
"Good!" Heru Cokro was pleased with Ki Ageng Djugo's decision. When he saw his enthusiastic expression, Heru Cokro said, "Since that's the case, there's still time now. Come on, I'll take you there."
"Good!" Ki Ageng Djugo also eagerly took his medical suitcase and followed Heru Cokro out.
On the other hand, there was a man named Wiro who came to the attention of Heru Cokro. Heru Cokro entrusted Wiro's hidden illness to Ki Ageng Djugo and said, "There is someone with a hidden illness. I've tried every common treatment, but it didn't work. Can you help diagnose it?"
"Oh? What kind of strange disease is that? I'm very interested to go and see it" said Ki Ageng Djugo. For a person like him, the more complicated and challenging his condition was, the better it would be to help improve his skills.
After that, Heru Cokro said goodbye to the couple's father and son. "Because that's the case, there's still time now, so I'll take you there" Heru Cokro said excitedly.
"Good!" Ki Ageng Djugo replied enthusiastically. He went inside his room to pick up a medical suitcase and immediately followed Heru Cokro out.
Meanwhile, the man referred to by Heru Cokro was a master named Wiro, half master of Padepokan Wiro Sableng. This plaza is very famous and became an important force in the military. With a rapidly growing group of disciples and resounding achievements, this plaza was increasingly recognized. Heru Cokro himself had also studied the Eight Fists of Wiro Sableng and considered it a great honor to be able to train there.
As soon as Heru Cokro arrived at the padepokan, the disciples greeted him enthusiastically. They saluted him respectfully, "Ready!"
The presence of Heru Cokro is highly anticipated and awaited by the students. The disciples were honored to be able to serve the Regent and participate in the Lunar New Year celebrations along with such an important and powerful person. They are preparing to celebrate this special night.
In the middle of the road, the sound of greetings continued to be heard as Heru Cokro walked towards the main hall of the temple. He waved his hand as a token of gratitude to the disciples who greeted him. Under the guidance of one of the disciples, he entered the desolate main hall.
Shortly afterwards, Wiro heard news of the presence of Regent Gresik and rushed towards the main hall of the store. After greeting, Heru Cokro asked everyone to retreat, leaving the hall only for the three of them.
Heru Cokro then introduced Ki Ageng Djugo to Wiro, "This is the great healer Ki Ageng Djugo, he is here to take care of you!"
Wiro felt a little surprised, but he felt moved by the kindness of Regent Gresik. His illness had caused unbearable pain in his heart, and he felt despair from failing to find a cure. As a martial artist, his martial arts was his life, and he had no idea how to survive without a fist.
Wiro looked at Ki Ageng Djugo with a complicated expression. He was excited but also afraid that his hopes would be shattered. His current feelings were incomprehensible to others.
Ki Ageng Djugo is a very experienced healer and has diagnosed many patients with strange diseases. Wiro's feelings are common for Ki Ageng Djugo as many of his previous patients also felt the same way.
Without many words, Ki Ageng Djugo told Wiro to sit down and feel his pulse. Wiro obediently sat down very politely, in contrast to the usual attitude whose strength was strong and wild.
Heru Cokro stood to the side and observed respectfully. For Ki Ageng Djugo, now is the time to shine. He began diagnosing Wiro using the Nusantara Treatment method that involved all aspects. He can see the color and feel the pulse to make an accurate diagnosis.
After diagnosing, Ki Ageng Djugo revealed the results seriously, "There is a special ice poison in Wiro's body. An expert with an ice-type poisonous internal force had injected this poison into his body. This poison is highly venomous and has caused severe organ damage."
Upon hearing this, Wiro recalled the unpleasant memories when he was injured by a clever Silat Yoni expert.
Wiro lifted his head and admitted, "As expected of a great healer. Right, an expert Silat Yoni who is good at injuring me."
Ki Ageng Djugo nodded, "If not for your strong internal strength and being able to suppress the poison, you might have already died. However, this poison had already spread and caused a lot of damage. If you don't get treated right away, you probably won't last until New Year."
Hearing that, Heru Cokro clenched his hands in tension and concern. Now, Wiro's future depends on Ki Ageng Djugo's skill in curing the deadly poison in his body.
