Rajawali Sakti Swordsman

Devil Face Thousand Bag. 3

The atmosphere of Kadipaten Karang Asem city looks so calm and quiet. Night air that feels cool by gentle breeze, as it implies peace. Rangga or the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti really enjoy the atmosphere in the silence of the night with Pandan Wangi. For two days they had been living in a large inn.

"You should have reserved two rooms, Kakang," said Pandan Wangi rather sniffly.

Rangga was silent as his eyes stared out of the wide open window. For two days Pandan Wangi always grumbled because Rangga only ordered one room for the two of them. Rangga can understand that the girl feels uncomfortable being in a room with a young man who is just a friend. But Rangga had his own reasons for booking a room for the two of them.

"No way, Pandan," said Rangga as soon as his ears heard the grunt of Pandan Wangi that did not stop. But the gaze of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti still did not turn away from the wide open window.

"Why is it impossible? Aren't we enough to book two rooms?" sergeant Pandan Wangi was upset.

"Indeed..," sighed Rangga rather indifferently. He still did not turn his face away. His eyes were still staring at the crowd that was starting to look out there. A crowd that he rarely enjoyed at night, if not coincidentally in a city.

"Then, why did you only rent one room?"

"Because I have told you that you are my wife to the owner of this inn," said Rangga kalem as he put a smile on his lips.

"Get and!" pandan Wangi.

"Remember, Pandan. We came here with one purpose. And I don't want to attract people yet" Rangga tried to explain.

"I don't understand what you mean?"

"We both came. If you rent two rooms, it can certainly attract the attention of people. I don't want us to have any trouble before I know what Commander Lohgender is looking for me. You have to understand, Pandan. After all, we're not doing anything here, are we?"

"But you can admit I'm your sister, or whatever else you're from!" sergeant Pandan Wangi still disagrees with Rangga's reasoning.

"Maybe I can do it if it's any other way."

"Other how?"

"I can claim you as a sister if I already know why Commander Lohgender is looking for me. To this day, we don't know anything. Is he an opponent or a friend? I just meant to keep everything possible."

"If that's your only reason, I can take care of myself!"

"I believe, moreover, you have now mastered the Dragon Sword Geni and the powerful Dragon Science Sewu. You're no longer the weak girl who always asks to be protected."

"Ah, stop!" pandan Wangi. He realized that he would not be able to win an argument with the young man. "Now, what's your next plan?" the voice of Pandan Fragrant began to soften.

"Investigating the duchy." sahut Rangga.

"Didn't Kakang do that last night?"

"I just looked around from the outside. The guard there seems very strict. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Limban seem to have started arriving to the Duchy of Asem Coral," Rangga told.

"Maybe...."

"Shhh...'" Rangga cut Pandan Wangi's words quickly while crossing his finger at the corner of the girl's lips.

Pandan Wangi was silent. Her eyes dodged feeling the tip of Rangga's index finger touch her lips. Immediately he pulled his head back. Suddenly his heart was beating hard. I don't know what he's feeling right now.

"You're here, close the window after I go outside" Rangga whispered softly.

Pandan Wangi had not had time to open his mouth, suddenly the body of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti was already chanting out the window. Still covered in question marks, the girl immediately closed the window after observing outside for a while. He tried to exert his hearing sharply, but there was nothing to hear, other than the conversational sounds of the people outside this inn.

Meanwhile, Rangga who had heard a glimpse of a suspicious voice on the roof, immediately jumped up to the top of his inn room. His eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle, catching a black shadow rapidly flashing from one roof to the other. Rangga immediately followed him from a considerable distance.

The body of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti moves lightly like cotton in the wind. Beautiful bouncy followed in the footsteps of the black shadow. For a moment Rangga's forehead wrinkled, as soon as he saw the black shadow heading towards the residence of the Duke of Karang Asem. Rangga immediately banged his body against a large, lush tree when the black shadow stopped on a tree near the duchy wall. The person wearing the all-black shirt seemed to be observing the situation.

"Hm..., who is that guy? What does it mean he's near the duchy's fortress?" murmured Rangga in the heart. His eyes were keenly watching the black shadow he was aiming for.

The man in black bounces again past the duchy's tall and sturdy fortification walls. Rangga immediately jumped following with a light motion without a sound. A body that was stalked then slipped into the wall of the house, then slipped closer to a window. It seemed that the light of the lamp was drifting outwards the moment the window opened. With one light move, the black-clothed body figure leapt inside. Rangga is approaching soon.

"The bedroom..," whispered Rangga in heart.

From a small gap, he could see the state of the room. The man dressed in black was facing him. But his body turned back to the rainbow, making it a bit difficult to recognize his face. Rangga turned his attention to someone who was sitting on his back.

"Hm.., I must use the science of distinguishing motion and sound," murmured Rangga in heart.

********************

In that large and beautiful room, a man dressed in black shook his body in a chair against a round table of white marble covered in silver. Opposite him sat a plush-clothed, fat and burly man. That man was the Duke of Prahasta.

"What's the matter you came here for?" ask the Duke of Prahasta. His tone was clearly less than pleased.

"I want to take your responsibility, Precaste," said the man dressed in all black. His voice was small and delicate, yet implied threat and cruelty.

"What responsibility?" Duke Prahasta.

"Strengthening the duchy by bringing in soldiers from the kingdom."

"I didn't do that. Commander Lohgender who sent messengers to bring in soldiers from the Kingdom of Limbangan. I don't know about that!" duke Prahasata's voice clearly restrained his tone.

"You're a duke, you rule here, not Commander Lohgender!"

"A Royal Commander is more powerful than a duke. He can act in his own way here, if he thinks things aren't at ease."

"Don't say much, Prahasta! I came here only to ask you to draw back the soldiers of the Kingdom of Limbangan!"

"Imust be!" dengus Adipati Prahasta.

"You have to do it, Prahasta. Or the...

Huh!"

Suddenly the man in black shook his hand. A wisp of greenish light shot out toward the window, then as fast as lightning his body leapt through the window. The Duke of Prahasta immediately got up and approached the window.

Rangga who had managed to dodge the surprise attack bounced his body into the air, and along with his feet tracing the ground, a figure of the all-black body immediately attacked him quickly. The Swordsman Rajawali Sakti again banged his body into the air, so that the attack of the person in black clothes escaped just like that.

The man in black clothes realized that his opponent was not an arbitrary person. Without wasting much more time, he immediately leaped away past the high wall fence. His movements were very fast, and did not cause the slightest sound, a sign that he had a high level of intelligence.

"Hup!"

Rangga immediately banged his body chasing after the person in black clothes. Instantly two body figures instantly vanished behind the thick and sturdy high walls. While the Duke of Prahasta so dumbstruck can not do anything. Two shadows move very quickly like disappearing without being noticed.

********************

The man dressed in all black vanished without a trace once he reached the Forest of Tarik. Rangga continued to chase until deep into this dark and dense forest. The science of distinguishing motion and sound that he gave was not able to find traces of people dressed all in black. Rangga stopped his pursuit. He stood his gaze while his eyes continued to circulate around him.

The atmosphere of the forest which is only illuminated by the moon is not so bright, making Rangga's view somewhat obstructed. A moment later his head bowed researching the surrounding land, trying to find traces of his hunting footprints.

Suddenly Rangga was surprised when he suddenly realized that he was surrounded from all directions. He turned his body to look at the ten people dressed in all black who were swiftly flashing out from behind the bushes and trees. Each of them had drawn a weapon in his hand.

"GROAN...!"

"Yeah...!"

Harsh cries so loud that they sounded accompanied the jump of bodies wrapped in black clothes attacked the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti. An exciting battle in the middle of the forest was inevitable again. Silvery light flashed from all panjuru shut Rangga's body. Rangga, who did not know exactly the strength of his opponents, still continued to jump, dodged the attacks that came in a row. One time he had not attacked back, but suddenly there were shrill screams followed by the fall of two blood-soaked black bodies.

The sharp and trained eyes of the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti can see clearly even in the dark of night. The two bodies of his opponent were collapsed by a quick sabre and sword unexpectedly from behind. Three people with unsheathed weapons appeared suddenly. Two of them, his weapon had been drenched in blood. The three people immediately entered the fight. Rangga immediately banged his body into the air away from the fight. It was obvious that the three men were soldiers.

One person with a belt of jasmine flowers, was clearly from the Kingdom of Limbangan. And two more people can be ascertained soldiers from the Duchy of Asem Karang. Not long after, it seemed the three people had the upper hand. One by one the bodies in black clothes were all covered with blood.

"Retreat...!" there was a small shrill loud scream.

Instantly also the remaining four black-clothed people instantly leaped for a run. Their bodies vanished behind the prowess of this Pull Forest. Three people who turned out to be Arya Duta, Balungpati and Welut Putih were immediately sheathed back their weapons. They took a breath for a moment, then rushed over to Rangga who was just standing under a big tree.

"You okay, Kisanak?" asked Arya Duta after being in front of Rangga.

"No" said Rangga smiling. Without their help he could finish off the ten people dressed in all black. But Rangga did not want to disappoint the three people who had taken pains to help him.

"Who are the Kisanaks, and why are they clashing with the gang of troublemakers?" asked Arya Duta again, she did not recognize who Rangga was.

"My name is Rangga, I don't know why those people attacked me." said Rangga.

"Where do children live?" ask Balungpati.

"I'm a wanderer, I don't have a fixed place to live." said Rangga sounding calm voice.

"Hm, then, you better leave this Pull Forest. It's too dangerous for people to walk alone, especially at night like this." White Welut suggested.

"Thank you" said Rangga, smiling. "May I know, who is this third uncle?"

"I'm Arya Duta, and this is Uncle Balungpati and Uncle Welut Putih. We are here carrying out the duties of Commander Lohgender" Arya Duta explained.

"What is the task of finding the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti?" asked Rangga while hiding his shock.

"I happened to meet two messengers yesterday from Commander Lohgender who was assigned to look for Uncle Three. The two envoys are from the Kingdom of Limbangan," said Rangga.

"Oh, who are they?" the Arya Duta.

"They claim to be royal courtiers. If not wrong, his name is Punggawa Garulungan and Punggawa Paringgan."

"Ah, they are retainers of choice Commander Lohgender," said Arya Duta.

"Certainly the situation in the Duchy of Karang Asem is getting worse, Gusti. To the extent that Gusti Panglima sent two retainers of choice here," Balungpati sergeant respectfully.

"Yes, apparently Lohgender's father has sent troops to the duchy," said Arya Duta.

"Sorry, if I may know, why is Commander Lohgender looking for Swordsman Rajawali Sakti?" ask Rangga fishing.

Arya Duta recounted the situation and problems facing the Duchy of Karang Asem. His conjecture about the involvement of the same martial figures as the alleged Commander of Lohgender, made the Commander of the Kingdom of Limbangan was assigning them to look for the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti. Until Arya Duta finished telling the story, he did not know at all that the person sought was in front of him.

Rangga just nodded his head for a moment. He now fully understood why Commander Lohgender was looking for him. Apparently there is a serious problem that is facing the Duchy of Asem Karang. The duchy was still under the rule of the Kingdom of Limbangan.

"It has been ten days now that we are in the Forest of Tarik," Arya Duta continued. "But we actually had a chance to clash with the hordes of troublemakers, including the ones Kisanak was fighting against earlier.., I am sure, those people had something to do with the situation in the Karang Asem Duchy now, I believe, and their nest must be in the middle of this forest."

"Sorry, Uncle. If I may give you advice. Third uncle should not first look for the horde's nest of troublemakers. We recommend that the three of Uncle go back to the Duchy of Asem Karang," said Rangga.

"Kiskey...!" balungpati. "You know who you're dealing with, huh?"

"Sorry, Uncle. I'm just giving you advice. Because yesterday afternoon, if you don't see it wrong, Pendekar Rajawali Sakti who is looking for Uncle is in the Duchy of Karang Asem."

"What...?!" Arya Duta, Balungpati and Welut Putih gawked in disbelief.

"I'm a wanderer, I know figures of the peach jungle. Pendekar Rajawali Sakti stayed with his sister at the Ayu Reserve Inn" said Rangga, with a smile in his heart, then he continued. "I know very well Pendekar Rajawali Sakti. He's gonna help put down that horde of troublemakers."

"You're not messing around, Kisanak?" Balungpati still can't believe it.

"Trust me, Rajawali Sakti Swordsman's sister nicknamed the Fan of Death. I don't think they'll stay there long. If the three of you don't see each other soon, you may never see each other again for good."

"What's your guarantee?" white Welut Trench.

"Neck! I'm not going out of the Pull Forest. I will replace the duty of Uncle three to find the hive of the horde of troublemakers," said Rangga firmly.

Arya Duta stared at Balungpati and Welut Putih alternately.

"Uncle three has helped me, and now I will return the favor by looking for the hive," continued Rangga.

"Alright, Kisanak. If you're trying to play me, don't tell me I'm cruel if I cut your neck!" arya Duta said no kidding.

Rangga just smiled while nodding his head. Without saying much more, Arya Duta immediately invited Balungpati and Welut Putih to leave the place. For a moment Rangga noticed the departure of the three people who were looking for him. He now understands very well what is happening in the Duchy of Asem Karang.

"You believe Rangga's words just now, Uncle Balungpati?" ask Arya Duta after they from Tarik Forest.

"It seems he can be trusted, Gusti. A traveler knows more about the martial world than we do" Balungpati said.

"We should go directly to the Lodging of Pagar Ayu, Gusti," added Welut Putih.

"Well, if it turns out he's lying to us, get back to the Forest of Pull."

********************

Pandan Wangi who was alone in the room, so anxious erratically. His mind was filled with a prolonged feeling of anxiety. Although he was sure of Rangga's ability, but the uncertainty of the state of Asem Karang Duchy always made his mind never calm if Rangga went outside.

The sound of knocking on the door shocked Pandan Fragrant. His eyes stared intently at the door that was knocked repeatedly. His hand immediately palpated the white steel fan tucked in the waist. Then slowly he stepped closer to the door.

"Who...?" ask Pandan Fragrant loudly.

"We, from the Duchy of Karang Asem were about to meet the Death Fan!" sound of voice from outside.

Pandan Wangi was shocked. In a hurry he opened the door. Three people stood in front of the door of his inn room. Who stood in the middle of a young man with a belt of jasmine flowers. And two more men dressed as duchy soldiers.

"Is that Miss who nicknamed the Fan Death?" ask Arya Duta.

"Right," said Pandan Wangi somewhat restrained his voice.

"May we meet the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti?"

"Darling, he's gone."

"Where did it go?"

"I don't know, he just said that he wanted to go outside to see the atmosphere of this duchy," said Pandan Wangi explained in detail.

"In that case, well we will wait in front," Arya Duta said as she turned around.

"Eh, wait a minute!" sergeant Pandan Wangi.

Arya Duta paused her steps.

"What does it mean that the three of Uncle is looking for the Swordsman Rajawali Sakti?" ask Pandan Wangi.

"How, Uncle?" Arya Duta asked for opinions on two of his escorts.

"Just explain what we really mean, Gusti." said Balungpati.

Arya Duta immediately explained his point after getting a nod from Welut Putih. He also explained his meeting with a traveler who told him that the Death Fan and Swordsman Rajawali Sakti were in this inn. Then after making small talk, the three of them left Pandan Wangi still quietly glued to the doorway.

"Oh!" Pandan Fragrant was surprised as soon as she turned her body.

Unbeknownst to him, Rangga was lying on the bed. His lips smiled at Pandan Wangi who was approaching him. The girl glanced at the window that was still closed. He closed the door and locked it tightly.

"Where did you come in from, Kakang?" tanya Pandan Wangi while sitting on the edge of the bed.

"That's..!" Rangga pointed at the open sky of the room

"Get and!" pandan Fragrant Snort "How about rain later?"

Rangga did not reply at all, immediately his body also shot upwards. Just a moment later, he was already back lying on the bed. Pandan Wangi looked up for a moment. The roof of this room is closed again.

"There have only been three people looking for you, Kakang" said Pandan Wangi

"I know, and I sent them here" said Rangga kalem. His lips still smile.

"Why don't you just come clean?" tanya Pandan Wangi was not surprised anymore. He had guessed before.

"Not yet" said Rangga kalem.

"Now they're waiting ahead."

"Let's go, I'll go to bed first.”

Pandan Wangi glared at Rangga looking back at him. The girl became a her own man. This room has only one bed. If Rangga had slept there, then where would he sleep...?

"What's wrong?" tanya Rangga felt Pandan Wangi's hand shake his body.

"You're sleeping downstairs!" sentak Pandan Wangi.

"Cold, ah! Just sleep here." Rangga patted next to him.

"The back!" call Pandan Wangi. His eyes were wide.

Rangga did not care. He's snoring again. Pandan Wangi could only grumble in annoyance. The girl was confused because she had never once slept with a man. He took a long breath. The drowsiness was getting stronger attacking him.

"Uhhhh! Stupid." grunted it annoyed.

The girl immediately laid her body beside Rangga who was on her back. She screamed in shock as Rangga turned around, and her hands stretched over her chest. Pandan Wangi jerked Rangga's hand. His face became crimson. His chest suddenly thumped.

Pandan Wangj looked at the sleeping Rangga. While a cold wind infiltrated from the cracks of the bamboo wall. Pandan Wangi shuddered in the cold, and without realizing it his body was getting docked with the young man beside him. The young man's breath warmly hit the red-coloured face.

"Rear..," call Pandan Fragrant.

"Hmmm..," Rangga only muttered indistinctly.

Pandan Wangi let out a long sigh, then slowly his eyes began to shut. He no longer cared about Rangga's mischievous hands hugging his body. The girl felt a warmth that began to run through her body. In his sleep his lips developed a smile of peace.
