Intan and Nalini Towards the Great Temple
Episode 311
Early in the morning Pranggala arrived at Nagendrapura palace after taking two days of travel. The arrival of Pranggala certainly makes Prabu Ragalawing very happy. He thought that Pranggala would cancel his intention to become mahapatih in the kingdom of Nagendrapura.
“Greetings, your majesty the king. Forgive your servant for being late to the palace. Slave ready to be punished for the carelessness of the servant,” exclaimed Pranggala while kneeling one foot in front of Prabu Raga Lawing who is currently on his throne.
“Hahaha, I don't blame you. Wake up, soon we will do your coronation as a master of the kingdom of Nagendra Pura,” said the King.
Pranggala rose from his knees at the order of the king. Then the King ordered his subordinates to prepare to carry out the procession of Pranggala's coronation to be mahapatih. Having received orders from the king, some soldiers and some palace officials made preparations for the coronation of Pranggala as Maha Patih.
The next day, the procession of Pranggala's coronation became mahapatihpun held. The event was held in the main hall of the kingdom of Nagendrapura and directly led by Prabu Raga Lawing. With the joining of Pranggala in the royal system of government, of course the power of Nagendrapura kingdom increased.
Not how long the coronation procession was completed. That day Pranggala also began to carry out his duties as a maha patih. Pranggala also got a large house located not far from the royal palace. Pranggala served as the deputy king who took care of various things, especially the security problems of Nagendrapura.
Meanwhile in the Small Country that has just been formed, the Land of Ganendra Intan and Nalini is very restless waiting for news from Pranggala. It has been two weeks since Pranggala's departure, there has been no news from him. One week should be enough time Pranggala give news about the results he obtained to save Bayu.
“Kak Nalini, should we follow uncle Pranggala to the kingdom of Nagendrapura so that we can find out the development of his talk to the king?” ask Intan to Nalini.
At that time Intan and Nalini were talking in the park around the palace. They are concerned about the news that never came from Pranggala. After considering everything finally Intan and Nalini left for Nagendrapura Palace. After two days of travel, they arrived there.
Intan and Nalini did not go directly to the kingdom to meet Pranggala. He tried to figure out the state of the king's city now and how the king's present reign was. From the information he gathered he came to the conclusion that the present King ruled well enough to gain the trust and support of the people. But behind that he also gets other information that makes misunderstandings happen.
Intan and Nalini get information on how Pranggala is currently very pleasant. In addition to being the number two person in the country, he also got excellent facilities from the King. Because of this both girls thought that Pranggala had drunk luxury so forget Bayu.
While the Prabu himself, too busy enjoying his victory. Although not to the detriment of the people, but its nature that likes worldly pleasures will be used by the sycophants around it. Such is the life of man, if the world he pursues, even though the world he gets, but the world will also destroy it.
Intan and Nalini who Pranggala could no longer be expected, decided to go both towards the grand temple. Not delaying any more time, both of them left the king's city to the great temple on horseback. Traveling as women, it is not uncommon for both to get interference on the trip. Moreover, the state of this transitional power, the state of the royal army centered in the king's city, many criminals used to carry out robberies.
The great temple is located in the Khayangan mountains. To get there people have to pass through the dense forest that surrounds the mountain. Although they only travel alone, as a person with high knowledge, there is not the slightest sense of trepidation in their day. Both of them entered the forest which is said to be very dark because it was overgrown with very shady trees.
Within the forest some of them had to face off against ferocious beasts like tigers and bears. What was strange was that the animals they faced were like having a deep power science, which made them so powerful and their attacks so ferocious. Both suspect the animals were indeed trained as the forest guard. I don't know who trained it, which is certain that the person is a powerful person to make the animals have the ability above the average animals.
Long enough Intan and Nalini traveled in the forest, finally they arrived also at the foot of the mountain entrance to the regal temple area. There were two men guarding. Both were dressed in white with a piece of cloth covering part of his head. In the great temple itself there are two types of servants of God, some rank as rishis some rank as priests. Both have the same role and position, only the type of clothing that is different (do not take a certain type of religion and religious leaders, only adjust the mention of names in the archipelago).
“Stop Nisanak, please leave the weapon if you want to go to the temple,” intercept one of the sages when they want to go up.
Between the two of them only Nalini wielded a sword. The girl with no objection left her sword to the guard sage. After leaving the gun to the guards, the two of them were allowed to go up.
More than a dozen rice they walked to the top, eventually both of them arrived in front of the grand temple. In front of the temple there are several priests and sages who guard. Both were asked about their goals. Intan also replied that they came to the Great temple to meet the holy man of the great temple.
“Force us both Nisanak, what need do you need to meet the Supreme Leader?” Asked one of the sages who felt that the arrival of the two of them was not just to worship at the temple.
“We you met with my holy man song to pick up our friend who some time ago he brought for treatment. It has been more than two weeks he has not returned so we took the initiative to pick him up here,” replied Intan.
Hearing the answer from Intan, some rishis and also the priest who happened to be there also looked at each other. They did know that the Great Temple Saint who became the leader of the temple some time ago brought a young man. But what they knew was that the great leader had not taken him for treatment but had arrested him for killing their brother.
