Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mis Tegel 38: The Blue Crow Demon

*Dark Egg Mystery (Tegel's Wife)*

 

That morning, Alma Fatara and her entourage continued to leave the Bone Market. The ruler of the Sudigatra Bone Market released the entourage directly.

However, Alma Fatara's entourage did not go through the public roads commonly used by warriors and ordinary citizens who came to and went from the Bone Market. To get to Alas Kutu which is still within the scope of the Red Knives College, Sudigatra showed a special path that could cut the trip one day.

The Red Knives College people called it the Demon Path. More than half the distance traveled on the Demon Path was the road on the brink, but it was not so dangerous even if they were carrying horses. However, at some point, they had to lead the horse because the route was either too towering or too swooping.

Moreover, before arriving at the Swordsman Wheel Stick residence, they would pass through the Blue Crow Demon residence.

Normally, the Red Blade Institution people avoided the Blue Crow Demon residence if they went through the Demon Path. They preferred to slightly twist so as not to deal with that aerial demon.

“Concidentally, Uncle. I am indeed excited to conquer the demons,” said Alma Fatara when told about the Blue Crow Demon.

“Oh yes. Gusti Ratu should be careful with the Skull Family,” Sudigatra said.

“Who are they?” ask Alma quickly.

“The big family of the Skull of the Lightning Sword. The Skull Family was a relative of the Lightning Sword Skull that had high magic. The death of their family members would definitely be very painful news. My guess is, they will claim their lives to Gusti Ratu,” explained Sudigatra.

“Thank you, Uncle. I'll stay alert.”

That was one of Sudigatra's messages about the aftermath of the Death of the Lightning Sword Skull.

They were not so difficult to follow the Demon Path. Passing that path, they barely ever met another human. They had only once crossed paths with the Red Knives College disciples who were heading to the Bone Market. The students of Red Knife College knew Alma Fatara, because they had participated in a war in the Lost Valley, which one of the retainers of the war was Alma Fatara.

After traveling until dusk, the entourage of Alma Fatara arrived in a river whose edges are very rocky, but the middle is very flowing.

Sis!

Just as they paused for a moment to pay attention to the area of the river, there was suddenly the sound of a crow, but only one crackling.

Because they had been told about the Crow Demon before, when they heard the sound of birds, they immediately looked up to look up above, especially above the trees.

“There!” pointer to the Sweet Spear who could find it quickly.

“Great wah, your vision can quickly find it,” praise Occult Eyebrows.

The Sweet Spear had worn the Ocean Princess Scales between her eyebrows, making her look a few tens of percent prettier. With the Ocean Princess Scales attached to her face, the Sweet Spear had much sharper eyesight and a further range.

Everyone immediately looked up to look towards the Sweet Spear designation.

They could all see a black crow perched on a small branch of a tree. Strange as the bird was, it seemed that the direction of his eyes was always downward, even though his head was always moving.

“That's an ordinary crow, not a blue crow,” said Juling Jitu.

“I saw there was blue smoke coming out of the bird's body,” Sweet Spear said.

“Means the Samudera Princess Scales work for you, Sweet,” says Alma Fatara. “Now I count on being the Eye of the Handheld Force of Jagad. But you don't just rely on those scales, expand your knowledge of the science of teleik ciphers and reconnaissance.”

“Good, Gusti Ratu,” said Sweet Spear.

“Crude Look, that bird arrow!” the Alma Fatara Order.

The set!

Without saying any more, Might Hard moved quickly and knew that one arrow had shot towards the crow.

“Hahaha!” the Laughter of Alma Fatara.

They clearly saw that the crow was flying and then just disappeared, like a twilight wind.

“What do you want to say as a fellow demon, Mbah Hitam?” ask Alma.

“Hamba just wants to say that the bird is indeed a demon. If we have attacked him, then he will not let us go in peace,” replied Mbah Hitam.

“Can he know that one of us is a demon too?” ask Alma.

“Can. Each stealth body gives off a special aura that can only be seen by fellow stealth, or one who can see the demons behind the human realm,” explained Mbah Hitam.

Alma mangosteen.

“We continue the journey. The demon will definitely appear again,” Alma said.

They went back on their journey. The road that is plausibly available to be traversed by riding is down the river upstream.

Their own position was already on the northern slope of Mount Reason. They followed the river until they found a branch. Another meaning, the river is the result of the meeting of two rivers, which will later exist upstream. The confluence of the two rivers is located north of Alas Kutu.

“There are women on the river!” exclaiming Sweet Spear while pointing towards the river.

A beautiful woman dressed in light blue who was playing in the river water, so was shocked to hear the voice of the Sweet Spear. That long-haired beauty hurriedly ran a few steps, then flew like a goddess in the movies.

“Mana?” ask Anjengan who saw nothing in the river.

“I didn't see anyone either, Sweet,” says Easy. “Wah, lest now you so like to see strange things.”

“We didn't see anyone in the river, Sweet,” Geranda said.

“So the woman flew and disappeared in the trees there,” Sweet Spear said as she pointed at a group of large trees not far on the river bank.

“In your opinion, who is prettier, you or that demon, Sweet?” alma Fatara asked with a smile. He did not see what the Sweet Spear meant.

“It's definitely that long-haired woman,” replied Sweet Spear.

“Hahaha!” tawa Alma Fatara while glancing at Iwak Ngasin.

“Mbah Black, come to the house of the demon. Tell him that Demon Queen wants to take her daughter!” the Alma Fatara Order.

“Good, Gusti Ratu,” said Mbah Black obediently.

Claps!

Suddenly Black Mbah disappeared from the back of his horse. Then they saw a large black snake crawling on the grass, winding its way to the location of a large collection of trees.

Meanwhile, Alma Fatara rested his entourage.

A ses! The test!

When the black snake crawled in the grass under the tree, suddenly there was a line of yellow light hitting the head of Black Mbah. The black snake only fell silent for a moment when its head was hit by the yellow light coming from above.

A second later, Black Mbah wrapped his body and his head held upright while hissing.

Suddenly a few spears in front of Black Mbah stood a dark blue-robed grandfather. He had white hair, but his hair was braided in three parts. While the head is wrapped in a silver iron ring.

He stood cross-legged under a tree, showing his stout physique, even though his beard was all white. (BH)
