True Martial Arts
Down Mountain

The hut has been tidied up for the last time. All the preparations were made again so that no one was left behind. When it is impossible to go back to the mountain only to take the leftover goods, he will not be able to go again after that.

He sighed. "Teacher, disciple will go down the mountain. Students will boast the name of Master while fulfilling their duties as Garuda Knights. Hope it's comfortable here."

Turn around the body. Sighing once more. His feet stepped firmly, down the path to get down from Mount Loro Twins so high.

The eternal fog that exists on Mount Loro Kembar began to be found. It's been a few years that the fog has persisted here, and it will last for a very long time. Kala activates Garuda Eye for clearer vision. The air cooled, even colder than the peak itself.

It takes half a day to get down the mountain via the fastest road which is quite dangerous, or pass through the road on the edge of the slope for a longer and safer time. I prefer the fastest road. From the foot of the mountain, it took two to three days to reach the nearest small town.

Birds used to sing in this forest. Since the appearance of the fog, the song of the bird disappeared. They chose another forest as their home. Loro Twins are no longer friendly to live in good animals like them. Only the long sound of insects filled the forest. Kala's footsteps could be heard far away in this desolate place.

However, based on the story of Akhza, the jungle fun here is like a cheerful park compared to the forest that Akhza had explored. Ireng Root Forest. It was really horrible there, he said. Strange, unfriendly animals. Even the bushes and grass there are different forms also attitudes. Akhza who is the most reliable artist satanah Java could not walk for long there.

To be sure, Akhza reminds that Kala must accept a completely different outside world. Not like on a mountain that is always peaceful and orderly. Out there he said, disorganized and disheveled. Even a little wrong can lose your life. Self-esteem that is too big is preferred, unlike in the mountain that always understands and can succumb as long as peace can be maintained.

Akhza also warned repeatedly that his knowledge should not be used. Not to be boasted. Not to be bought. Not for personal gain.

One more thing that Akhza emphasizes is about women. "Be careful with women. They were meek from the outside, but ferocious if attacked from the inside. It is not your heart that is attacked, but your thoughts and feelings. Aih, very dangerous. But I hope you're not like me who's single until the end."

***

Kala entered a rice shop after entering the city. Actually it is a bit difficult if Kala entered the city through the entrance, he did not have a self-identity as a society. Fortunately, the city walls were not too high to pass.

An empty table in the corner of the room was chosen. Here he could watch the entire room once in a glance. The position is also not too striking if here. A young woman approached him with timid steps as well as her face, she handed him a board containing a list of foods timidly as well. When researching the board, the price of food here is quite affordable.

"Honey Chicken Grilled Order. Also an old glass— ... I mean a glass of sweet tea that you have." Kala smiled bitterly, just remembered that the wine was not too good.

The servant girl did not stop looking at Kala's face. Smile. As if I had not heard Kala's words.

Kala. "Nysanak see what?"

The girl awoke from her daydream, then stammered. "Eh, what do you want to order?"

Kala shook her head and then said her order. Duck Burn Honey and a glass of tea. The servant girl nodded slowly, embarrassed again until her white cheeks were as red as tomatoes.

"We have the best wine in town, Kakang won't try. I can give him free for one's brother."

Kala simply waved her hand with a smile, it was a subtle rejection. The girl nodded then turned around after turning to Kala for a long time.

Kala looked around while shaking her legs. This was the closest town he had come to after coming out of the Twin Loro forest. Blue Cloud is the name of this city, people around usually call it another language.

Long enough for the girl to come with her order. The honey duck was presented on the table. Ducks are intact if the neck, head, and legs are not cut. Steady aroma, sweet and savory. A glass of bamboo tea was also on his desk.

It was ready to eat, but the girl didn't leave either. He sat in the chair opposite Kala. Chin-backed. Staring at Kala lamat-jituan. Kala felt the girl wanted to eat him round and round. Look at his sparkling gaze like finding a giant roast chicken.

"Where's the back coming from? I rarely see a man as handsome as Kakang. From the kahyangan, huh?"

"I came from Loro Twin Mountain. And I'm not handsome."

"Aah?" His hands no longer held his chin. His back was firm, a sign he was serious. "Loro Twins? The cursed mountain .. how could Kakang live there? Isn't the Loro Twins already forbidden to go through? That's a sacred mountain, Kang, how can ...."

Kala shook her head. "The mountain is my best friend. If you can hear him now, he's angry that he's sacred."

"Yes, maybe Kakang is indeed an extraordinary artist, so that it can defeat the sub-district of the mountain," he said increasingly sparkling, want to talk further. Cut it off with a question.

"May I know about this city?"

"Could only. The city falls into the category of medium size city. You must have known his name, this city is famous everywhere. This city was in the territory of the Ice Crystal Castle, which had just changed its name. The city has thousands of residents who are on average well-to-do, the Blue Cloud is also the trading center of the Ice Crystal Castle.

"However, a few weeks ago the Ice Castle pulled out all the members and weaponry in the city. Once known, they pulled all that because a horde of destructive animals came from Telu Forest. The destroyer was led by a crazy pranor, there were several spirit beasts. They all planned to invade this city. You must know that the Ice Castle is a black school, they don't want to lose even one bit, but we always give tribute to them too."

Kala was a little confused. That means the city will be in danger. How can this rice shop girl just relax? It was just right from that moment the tavern was empty. He himself could be in danger.

"Where are the animals now?"

"They're fighting with some artists or princes in this city, the humans are definitely winning!" replied the girl in spirit as if victory was in sight.

"What about the kingdom? Did Geowedari send troops?"

"Say, heck, no. Geowedari was involved in a conflict on the border with Pandataran. The security of the cities has been entrusted to the nearest college. The Blue Cloud City was entrusted to the Ice Crystal Castle."

"Is there a refugee?"

"There are prepared artists who will fight, but we certainly do not want to bother evacuating if it will win."

"It can't be like that. If you only rely on the princes in the city without the help of a college or even a kingdom, this city is difficult to survive." Kala started to get nervous. Decided to quickly-away from this city, shy away from trouble. "Give warning to all the townsfolk as much as you can that you should evacuate immediately."

"What's wrong?"

"Hurry to do it before the loss of life increases!"

Kala paid for the food he had not touched before leaving the store. He moved quickly to leave the city, but something held him back.

Common sense holds it back. When he has become a prince, it is a sin for him not to fight for the weak. Kala continued to be educated by Akhza in order to help the weak, it was Kala's goal to be trained by Akhza.

Problems like this should not be avoided. This has to be faced.

Kala turned around, returned to the store. When you see this shop no longer there is anyone, maybe the girl has carried out her orders. But now that Kala needed the girl to ask where the battle would take place, there was no way he could look for her by running all over the city, he could be exhausted before fighting.

Kala ran again looking for people around, all quiet until Kala heard the noise from far away. He ran to the origin of the sound. When they saw the many people who were swarming in front of him, they gathered in the field with a stage in the middle of the field. Kala could see on the stage stood the girl who had been with a middle-aged man who was overwhelmed.

Kala broke through the hysterical crowd. After arriving in front of the stage, he immediately jumped with the science of self-ease. He soon became a new highlight.
