The will of Aditya


Without further ado, Kala shows Aditya's golden scroll. The faces of the soldiers changed drastically, respect, alert, and afraid to merge into one. They seem to have known about the scroll even though the condition is still closed. The position of those who had previously unsheathed Kala, now changed to surround Kala and protect it from all directions.


“Kisanak, we will take you to Tumenggung house safely.” With protection from all directions, they began to guide Kala into the city. The gates were closed and a number of archers were deployed over the city walls.


Kala was led to the residence of the nobles to the west of the city. The townspeople had never seen this before, they were astonished and followed Kala's entourage even though it was forbidden.


“Anyone who dares to approach, will die!” shouted the soldier who was protecting Kala.


After arriving at the noble residence, the army doubled down which was equipped with a large shield and spear. Now that we know it clearly, these scrolls are so important that they perform all these procedures.


Kala is shown in a magnificent second-story house and full of Javanese carvings.


Kala opened the door directly without any more soldiers escorting him—they all made protective barricades around this house. Kala set foot on the cold wooden floor of the hall, moments later a middle-aged man dressed in full Javanese customs was caught up in welcoming Kala.


“Kisanak, I heard brings important news.” The middle-aged man did not seem to want to mince words, he clearly understood the condition.


“Ya, right. But I want to meet directly with Tumenggung.”


“I am his Tumenggung, sorry to dress less neatly.” The middle-aged man laughed softly.


Kala took out the golden scroll from the ring. “If so, Tumenggung should accept this.”


“Cursed ...” The beaver cursed slowly after opening the scroll. “Suto! Here!”


A young man walking with a low body approached the tumenggung. It was heard that the middle-aged man ordered some things.


“Standby one, order all city soldiers to send troops to Telu Forest. Including soldiers from Progo,” the statement of the butcher dexterously before the young man left passed.


“How do Kisanak get this letter,” ask the tumenggung on Kala.


“This is a will from Aditya, he requested that I drop the scroll to you.”


“Testament? That means ...”


Kala nodded slowly, the face of the butcher turned into anger.


“Destroyed demons. They'll get the reply.” The clasping finger.


Kala shook her head slowly. “Alright, Tumenggung, I have completed my task and it is time I beg myself.”


“If you can know, where will Kisanak go?”


“Sorry, Thumenggung, it is not your duty to know my business.” A moment Kala said coldly, Kala's body disappeared from before Tumenggung.


Using the Cotton Technique, Kala was able to leave the butenggung residence quickly, even now that he had passed through the city walls.


***


Kala arrived at Kaia and Alang's place at night to pick up. The two of them immediately greeted Kala from the top of the tree, but Kala had lost consciousness. Running with Cotton Engineering is not only faster, but also spends a lot of Prana. Not to mention that Kala used the raspy Vedhus Technique which consumed a lot of Prana, without even realizing it his body was blistered due to that stance.


Initially Kaia and Alang were relaxing on a tree while waiting for Kala, now Kaia jumped directly down to see the pale face of Kala.


The charcoal from the burning campfire last night was still burning, Alang fell asleep not far from the charcoal. It seemed that he kept the fire burning until dawn.


Looking again at Kaia, he slept soundly as if there were no predators around. Kala laughed softly, while asleep the cold girl looked cute and beautiful.


His body has improved, but not completely. Kala took a pill and swallowed it until he realized the pill was stuck in the throat.


The throat is still dry!


The life has not been collected, taking water alone is not thought of by him, as a result Kala only coughed loudly.


The sound of coughing was enough to wake Alang and Kaia up in a panic as well. Alang's body suddenly burned with alarm, while Kaia reached for her sword which was at the side.


“Nothing, no need to panic.” Kala managed to reach concentration and then took a drink in the interspatial bracelet. “Your vigilance is very good, but you guys are very stupid by lighting a bonfire in the middle of a battlefield like this.”


Kaia rubbed her eyes a few times then looked at Kala closely for a few seconds.


“You're up? You're not messing with me, are you?”


Kala's face turned wry. “Of course I'm awake, but you're not pretty enough and teasing to me.”


“What did you say?!”


Kala laughed softly before her countenance turned serious. “Why are you lighting a fire in the middle of a conflict like this? Soldiers will not view you as a civilian if you are on the battlefield!”


“Your body was shivering violently last night. Mist descends with bushy and cold.” Kaia snorted in annoyance, then continued, “we agreed to light a fire rather than have to hug you.”


“Eak eak.” Alang supports.


Kala frowned and looked at the bones scattered in the pile of charcoal, like it was deliberately covered.


“Oh, yes? Or you guys just partied without me?” Kala looked at Kaia and Alang cynically one by one.


“Ti-no, at all!”


“I have no problem if you eat without me, the problem is your safety. Didn't I give you cookies for you to eat? I purposely bought it for emergency food in times like this, not to torture you guys.”


Kaia and Alang both looked down. Kala smiled warmly at their behavior, just like when she scolded Akhza first.


“I'm sorry I haven't been able to give you good food for now, but later in the day I'll make sure you get good food from my cooking.”


Kaia again raised her head arrogantly. “Good if you are already aware of your mistake!”


Suddenly Kala's smile turned sinister. “But for breakfast, you eat this first.”


Kala throws a piece of pastry at Kaia and two energy stones at Alang. Kaia caught the cookie by reflex, but the look on her face did not look good. Kala had bitten a small piece of pastry.


After she finished eating, Kala looked back at the map. The plan to go to Banyu Bening City was canceled, it seemed like the city would be filled with conflict. Kala chose to see some villages on the outskirts of the forest that were predicted to be badly affected by the war.


“Kaia, we will no longer relax in the city. We will go to the villages and secure the inhabitants from the war,” Kala explained as he rolled up the map.
