Nyi Sweet walked towards Puguh standing up. Then, after only two meters away, Nyi Sweet told Puguh to face her.
"Soldier ! Turn your body and look at me !" said Nyi Sweet.
Hearing the words of Nyi Sweet, Puguh also twisted his body.
When looking at Puguh's face, Nyi Sweet was inwardly shocked.
"Iiihhh .. This soldier has a very ugly face. His eyes were squinted again," said Sweet Nyi inwardly.
Nyi Sweet who likes and is used to seeing the handsome faces of the young men who are victims, told Puguh to leave immediately.
"Its ugly soldier ! Hurry up you get out of this place !" nyi Sweet.
Hearing that, Puguh quickly left the place to go to the side room.
By the time Puguh heard Nyi Sweet's voice telling her to stop and turn her back to look towards Nyi Sweet, Puguh immediately rolled her eyes and puffed her cheeks, resulting in her face becoming ugly. It made Nyi Sweet surprised and immediately told her to come out. They are safe for a while.
Meanwhile, once in the side room, it happened that the food and beverage dishes that had to be brought into the inner room had been exhausted and finished being delivered. So Puguh immediately followed the soldiers who had delivered dishes to the inner room, out of the side room to the back room.
In order not to arouse suspicion on the soldiers earlier, Puguh quietly immediately separated and headed to the kitchen room, and hide there until the conversation in the inner room is over and everyone goes back to their place.
While hiding, Puguh tries to remember everything she has seen and felt.
Other than Nyi Sweet and the One-Eyed Demon, based on the deep energy vibration he felt, Puguh tried to calculate, many warriors with high levels of abilities and power were in that inner space. To Puguh's surprise, in the room there were four to five people who, based on their inner energy vibration, entered in a very high level.
So that Puguh intends to investigate, anyone who includes four or five swordsmen who have very high abilities.
"That information I can get, if I can blend in with the invited warriors present here," Puguh said in his heart.
And so, after midnight, Puguh took off his warrior clothes and hid them somewhere in the kitchen room. Then, Puguh wore his clothes that were all black, like some of the warriors who were in the palace of Prince Panji.
Walking normally, Puguh walked out of the kitchen room and walked towards the guard post of the palace gate, which was guarded by warriors. Because of the night, the warriors also took off their warrior clothes, because they were not used to it and felt sultry dressed like a soldier.
Arriving at the guard post, Puguh saw, the warriors were chatting while chatting. They look sleepy, their eyes are flushed and their faces are also flushed.
Actually, from the inner energy vibration that Puguh felt, they were classified as warriors with quite high abilities. But because they drink too much, they lose their mind. Some even lost consciousness.
"It seems, they drank too much, so they became a little drunk. It was so coincidental, that they became unwary," Puguh said inwardly.
"Heeeii comrade ! Where have you been ? Why not drink ?" ask one of the warriors who was sitting in a chair drunk.
"Sorry man, my stomach hurts, makes me have to keep going back !" answer Puguh.
"Yes it is ! Come here and grab your rations, there's a lot on that table" said the drunk soldier.
Puguh took an empty pitcher and sat down near the drunken soldier.
"Friends ! Do you know anyone who's been to that meeting ?" ask the drunken soldier.
"Yes obviously I know .. "the soldier replied, "Nobody can match me in terms of getting information."
"If it needs to be proven first, try as much information as you can get !" said Puguh fishing so that the soldier would tell the information he got.
"Tell me what you're gonna ask. I can answer that !"said the soldier with a hint of emotion.
"It turns out your knowledge is shallow too. Listen ! Last night came four powerful figures, who were among the most powerful. The Eastern Devil, the Western Devil, the Northern Devil and the Southern Devil. There were actually five, the one that had come first was the One-Eyed Demon !" answer the soldier.
Hearing the four names mentioned earlier his abilities were at the same level as the One-Eyed Demon, Puguh became a little worried. Not to mention there was Nyi Sweet and there might be other swordsmen whose abilities were at the same level as Nyi Sweet.
"If it's the one below them, do you also know ?" ask Puguh again.
"There's Nyi Sweet, Ki Kalalupa and Ki Kaladupa. Actually they could not be said, his abilities were below those five !" answer the soldier.
Puguh and the soldier chatted until morning. When it was time to change the guard group, the soldiers who were with Puguh last night, returned home. Puguh also returned to the palace of Prince Pandu.
However, when he arrived at Prince Pandu's palace, Puguh recalled, the clothes of the soldiers he wore last night were still left in the kitchen of Prince Panji's palace.
----- * -----
At the palace of Prince Pandu, that morning Puguh met with Prince Pandu and also Ki Dwijo and Rengganis.
Puguh recounted all the information that could be obtained during infiltrating the palace of Prince Panji.
"The five of them were once famous for the nickname the Five Earth Demons !" ki Dwijo said after hearing Puguh's speech.
"Hopefully Ki Pande and Ki Kebo Ranu managed to invite old friends as soon as possible and as many as possible" Ki Dwijo said in his heart.
"Teacher, tonight Puguh will still infiltrate the palace of Prince Panji," said Puguh who saw his teacher like daydreaming.
"You're heartbroken Puguh. The five of them are very dangerous. In addition, silat and their inner strength is very high," replied Ki Dwijo.
"If the One-Eyed Devil, Puguh had faced off, teacher. When he was about to patronize this palace," said Puguh again.
"With your current martial arts, especially the ones you get from the Eagle-Riding Swordsman, master is sure, you are capable of facing them. But what the teacher is worried about, is that you face them together. They will become stronger if they work together" Ki Dwijo said.
"You will always be careful, teacher" replied Puguh.
In the evening, Puguh again went to the palace of Prince Panji. Puguh again wearing the warrior clothes given by Prince Pandu.
Tonight, after leaping over the fortress wall, Puguh headed straight for the inner gate post.
At the post, Puguh again said he would deliver ingredients to make medicinal herbs.
Without much questioning, the inner gate guard soldiers immediately allowed Puguh to pass by.
Soon Puguh walked towards the gate of the palace building. There Puguh again met with the guard soldiers who last night had met. Guard soldiers consisting of warriors invited and hired by Prince Pandu.
Puguh gathered at the guard post of the gate of the palace building. The soldiers told each other stories, some of which became additional information that was important to Puguh.
Entering midnight, the warrior leader began to bring out the liquor served in a jug. They all started getting drunk until their conversation became uncontrollable.
When it was Puguh's turn to drink, Puguh pura pura aching stomach again and immediately ran towards the kitchen to find a restroom.
In walking towards the kitchen, Puguh tried to feel and pay attention to the room inside. But Puguh did not feel the vibration of the energy in the room.
