The Seven Gates of the Universe
77. Plunge into the World of Persilatan
"Straight Dragon Fire...!" Exclaimed the grandfather who was watching the girl who was practicing.
For a moment the girl wearing the orange-colored clothes mixed with red was silent. Then he took a deep breath and concentrated on exerting his power. At first glance, the light looks orange from the girl's body. Then the air in that place gradually turned to heat. While the sword in his hand was burning more and more reddish.
"Dragon Sword Geni" muttered Cempaka looking at the sword that the girl was using.
The girl in reddish orange clothes started to take out her nurse. While leaping in the air the girl shrieked while slashing her sword, the light and the radiance of the fire coming out of the sword added to the carriage of the movement that the girl showed. A few streaks in the air he did, always emitting reddish-colored flame rays. In fact, several times the fire bias it hit a nearby tree and make it burn. It was fortunate that there were other disciples who were ready to extinguish every time the fire lit up.
"Enough..! could this place be burned by your sword is my granddaughter's diamond." Said the grandfather.
"Great Intan" Praise Cempaka.
The girl is indeed the Andini Intan that we already know as the child of the Flute Swordsman Sakti. After he was escorted by the Red Guardians to the Stone Geni Hill, his Grandfather who was the head of the Dragon Geni store began to teach him the Science of high magic. With the help of rare herbs and fruits that were planted in that place, in just eight months, almost all the knowledge of the grandfather he had mastered.
"Sir Cempaka!" intan exclamation when he saw the cempaka.
The girl then slumped towards Pedekar Halilintar's wife and hugged her. There was a drop of tears flowing down both of Intan's cheeks. I don't know what she's feeling, maybe only she knows.
While his wife was busy shedding longings with his cousin, Jaka approached his grandfather Intan and gave hornat. The old man replied with a friendly smile. Then the four of them entered after the head of the Geni Dragon Academy asked for it.
"How are you guys? I've heard about the incident on the Empty Hill. I'm so sorry for your teacher's death, son Jaka." Said the head of the Geni Dragon Academy, starting the conversation after telling his guests to sit at the table provided.
"Thank you, elder." Sahut Jaka briefly tried to hide his sadness.
"How about your teacher Cempaka, I heard that he has joined the Valley of Hell Palace" asked Eyang Ranubala who is known in the martial world as the Hero of the Dragon Geni to Cempaka.
"True kek" Cempaka replied as he lowered his head. Suddenly his face glumened back to remember his teacher.
"You must not blame your teacher, my grandson. Believe what he does, there is good. Later you will understand why your teacher did that." comforted Eyang Ranubala
Cempaka simply nodded his head in response to Eyang Ranubala's words. Seemed on the cheeks of the Lightening Swordsman's wife flowing tears. Intan who was nearby also tried to entertain by hugging his cousin.
"Intan will complete his training and master all my abilities in approximately one month. Next I want him to wander in search of experience. If you do not mind invite him with you when the situation is possible you can leave him alone" Pinta Eyang Ranubala.
"Wahhh... Is it true that I can join brother Cempaka?" tanya Intan was happy while hugging her spoiled grandfather.
Exactly a month since the arrival of Jaka and Cempaka in Batu Geni Hill, finally Intan Andini managed to complete all the Science passed down by his grandfather. Added with the rare fruits that are given by Eyang Ranubala makes the magic energy in Intan even stronger. Moreover, his grandfather had transferred some of his energy as a fast training method, so that the progress obtained by Intan need not be doubted.
After saying goodbye to Eyang Ranubala, Intan, Jaka, also left the Naga Geni Hill. Their destination would first be to visit the Milky Way Handed Angel on the hill of the God Fortress. Riding each horse, they traveled. It seems that Intan several times turned his face to see Batu Geni Hill. The pretty girl's cheeks looked wet.
After three days of traveling they finally arrived at the Southern Country. Between the Eastern and Southern regions of the country it is limited by a fairly high mountain. The only place that is easy to pass there is a Fort that is high enough with a gate that is guarded tightly by officers. After considering the three of them decided to pass through the fort.
Upon arrival in front of the border fortress, they had to queue with the residents who also wanted to enter the country. The three got off the horse, then walked on foot while leading the horse to follow the queue. It seemed that the guards on guard were so friendly and patient in conducting the examination.
"Are these two children and nisanak the people of the martial world?" asked one of the guards who happened to check on the three of them.
All three looked at each other at the guard's question. Then Jaka who was considered the leader in the group nodded his head. He himself could not feel what the question of the guard meant.
"That doesn't mean my misjudgment looks at your appearance. If you don't mind, will you meet with the master of the city leadership? He advised if there happened to be people passing by, to be asked for his residence there is a very urgent thing to ask for help" said the guard
"What kind of help, sir?" ask Jaka who is a little curious.
"Ah. I have no right to say it. It's good that only the city lord says it directly." subtly reject the guard.
Jaka also turned his eyes to Cempaka and Intan as if to ask for an opinion. Both men nodded in agreement. Moreover, they seemed to be made curious by the attitude of the guard. After all, their trip to the God Fortress was indeed not in a hurry.
"Alright, take us to the lord leader of the city" Jaka said after conferring with his two traveling companions.
Suddenly the young man's face turned bright. Smile expands. Then he invited the three warriors to the residence of the city leader.
Along the way they saw that how much life the residents in that place could be said to be very prosperous. As much as the eyes looked, they did not find a building in the form of a hut or a shabby house. Even the restaurants and lodging houses that were there looked so luxurious. This city looks so organized.
The city is called Rambalangan. Small Southern Town directly adjacent to the Eastern Country. Although not the king's city, it seems that life in this place is so advanced. Such a beautiful city layout makes the impression that the leader is so attentive to development in his region.
The name of the city leader Jaga Reksa. He was a fifty year old man. In this city Jaga Reksa is known to be generous and very attentive to its people. His firmness against the perpetrators of crime and fraud in his city, made the leader so respected. But his attitude of justice and anger made him very loved by his people.
About two weeks ago there was a disaster at his residence. The only daughter of his puppet has been poisoned by an unknown person. Some of the bodyguards who tried to catch the perpetrator were killed, because they were no match. From the way the assailant fights, it appears he is from the martial world.
