KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)
The Joh Kaiman Residence
They number around the number of people. They all showed unfriendly faces. The weapons in their hands were brandished towards the small group of Gentayu. The three of them have been locked in the siege of the men of the village.
One of them, wearing a yellow headband with a necklace with a yellow jewel pendant as wide as the palm of the hand came forward and appeared in front of the residents. His right hand was raised parallel to the ears, and the people who surrounded the Gentayu group became calmer.
“I, Joh Kaiman, head of the Dajau Company here. Who are you guys who have been sassy to enter our village?” The stocky-bodied man stopped just two meters from Gentayu and the others. “Im sorry we.” Gentayu was just about to speak when Anjani's hand standing beside him was on his chest. Ask him not to talk.
“Mr Joh, please accept our respect and presentation.” Anjani advanced with both hands on the forehead in a reprimanded position. In both palms of the beautiful girl, there is a yellow jewel, but the yellow color is not as bright as the Joh Kaiman necklace pendant.
“Where did this Miss three come from?” Joh Kaiman's attitude changed to be more relaxed and friendly after receiving a gift from Anjani. The change in attitude was also seen on the faces of other residents of the Dajau Rombong.
Gentayu and Hao Lim understand the situation better now. As it turned out, the arrival of strangers would be considered a threat, unless they could give something as a friendly sign. And Anjani turns out to understand exactly what to give to Joh Kaiman, showing that Anjani is quite familiar with the culture of these people.
“We are from the Valley of Memories. We are students from Datuk Alehah, Rajo Narako..” Anjani replied, mentioning the real name of the grandfather of rajo Narako.
“A..a..Whahuh? Ka. you guys.. Aih, forgive us, forgive our lack of teachings, Miss. We do not mean to offend the Fire Clan.” Now the look on Joh Kaiman's face turned pale. So did the citizens who a moment ago had lowered their weapons.
“This, this is a misunderstanding, Taioko. let's , let's stop by our entourage. Please excuse our attitude Taioko.” Many times Joh Kaiman bowed, showing anxiety over fear of offending the Fire Clan, the origin of Datuk Rajo Narako or the real name known in this hamlet as Datuk Alehah.
After learning that the name Datuk Rajo Narako is quite well known in this place, Anjani believes that they are in the territory of the Kingdom of Sindur Kuntala, on the continent of Lemuria. And these people, probably the Talang Dalam tribe, are famous for their civilization of villages on trees.
Thus, it should not be too far away that they walked to find the location of the Fire Clan.
The Fire Clan, which is the ancestral origin of Datuk Rajo Narako and Gentayu is a large clan that is quite calculated in the kingdom of Sindur Kuntala, even quite well known in the plains of Lemuria Continent. It is one of the seven strongest clans in the Continent, and one of the three strongest groups in Sindur Kuntala.
Sindur Kuntala itself was a small kingdom among the eight kingdoms and empires on the Lemurian continent. This small kingdom became quite calculated because throughout its history, many had great and famous knights all over the continent.
The Head of the Company then invited Anjani, Gentayu and Hao Lim to stop at the big house, the largest among others. That's the residence of Joh kaiman, the head of the troupe.
Joh Kaiman asked his wife to host this guest with the best dish they had. In fact, some residents came to Joh Kaiman's house to help his wife prepare the dish.
While the wife was assisted by several residents preparing food, Joh Kaiman accompanied by two elders of the hamlet was engrossed in talking with Gentayu, Hao Lim, and of course Anjani.
“What wind is there, so you three can get to a remote place like this?” Joh Kaiman asked while pouring a drink of water from a bamboo roof into glasses that were also made of bamboo and placed in a circle in front of each participant.
“We just happened to pass by, uncle. We were on a special mission, but instead got lost until here.” Anjani took the initiative to answer the village chief's question. He did not want Gentayu to misrepresent and cause other difficulties, due to the too distant cultural differences between the two worlds .
Joh kaiman and the two hamlet elders nodded as if understanding Anjani's statement. They often hear, people from seven clans often have to get out of their territory to carry out a mission. But the head of the group will obviously not want to explore further about the three people they believe come from the clan fire.
“Oh yes, we were in the woods upstream this afternoon, uncle. Does uncle know what forest it is?” Gentayu seems to be still curious about the forest that has made him realize that in this world he belongs to the weak creature.
“Oh, the forest upstream is called telegu forest. Including sacred forests and forbidden to our citizens. The forest was quite mysterious, so not many people had ever been there. But I heard, for the past two hundred years, groups of hunters have been setting up a store there. If not wrong, it's called the Red Telegu. Did you guys encounter any problems there?” said the head of the company.
“No uncle. There's no problem. We even just found out that in the forest there are also padepokan.” Gentayu replied.
“True. They all I know include black stream padepokan. What I heard, too, is that they trade animals and that, especially at a level above the celestial swordsman. Crystals are very sellable and the price is very high. I heard so..” Joh Kaiman sipped his palm water from his bamboo glass. While Hao Lim seemed to be thinking of something.
“Uncle, why is the red telegu group included as the black flow group?” the question came out of Hao Lim's mouth. So far, he has not found a picture of why the red telegu belongs to the group of black streams if only hunting.
In this world, there are two types of animals that both types both have powerful powers. They are the Danyang and the sacred animals.
The first is referred to as Danyang, which is an animal and human who undergoes my man to batawwata or moksa by absorbing natural energy. Sometimes people refer to this energy as prana energy, god energy or Qi.
Natural energy is distributed unevenly around the world. Some solidify to form objects of almighty power. Some must be absorbed bit by bit, then compacted, then formed into crystals.
Crystals on the body are called stealth gems. While on the body of bhakta is called the jewel of the god. These crystals are actually hunted by groups such as red telegues. They killed Danyang and bhakta for the purpose of taking over the crystal that was possessed as a sumnber of power.
Unlike Danyang who must absorb natural energy to live my man towards bathing, sacred animals are believed to live eternally naturally because they have special crystals from birth.
They increase their strength by devoting themselves to bhakta and their strength increases as the master grows stronger.
Alternatively, there are also sacred animals that grow stronger without having to serve bhakta. All these animals do is act ascetic and grow stronger over the length of time they are imprisoned.
Humans or devotees themselves can include black and white groups seen from the way to increase strength. Those who have the power to take over the power of other creatures, for example swallowing stealth gems or holy gems and god gems then they belong to the black flow group.
Whereas those who increase strength by absorbing god energy or natural energy are directly classified as white flow groups.
The black sect could not use the gems of the sacred animals and the white devotees. They can use stealth gems as a suggestion, on the contrary, white flow groups also cannot use gems from stealth or black flow bhakta.
In addition, there was another source of formidable power other than absorbing god energy directly from nature as well as from danyang gems and saint beasts. That power comes from something called Adi Sakti. The form can vary, ranging from trees, animals and even other objects including rocks.
Gentayu begins to find a bright spot about something that excites his mind since meeting a rabbit. If the rabbit is still at the level of the earth warrior, that means, the rabbit gem has not been formed, because the formation of new crystals will be done after the level of the celestial swordsman to the top.
“That means, those Red Telegu people are very strong.” Gentayu said softly.
At least, he increasingly understood that the human power in this world could reach tens of times that of the warriors on the Great Golden Island.
