"His body exuded a pressure not far from me that might even slightly exceed me, but I did not feel the slightest bit of inner energy from his body. How could he have such great strength if he relied on mere physical strength?" The more Anita tried to understand him, the more confused she became.
At the same time Asrul was on his way back to the inn looking at the silver card he had in hand. Asrul did not expect his visit this time would get him a card that was so targeted by many people in the future.
"If I can establish cooperation and gain a great influence on the Biblical Association, they can help me heal Master in the future." Asrul heard in his previous life that the Biblical Association highly valued those who contributed to their development, he could only hope that all of that was true.
With the help of the Biblical Association, Asrul's martial journey would progress more smoothly especially if he needed resources in the future.
Asrul kept the silver card well in his robe, he then touched a jade slip that Siti Adawiyah gave him.
"Ah, it has been a while also not to see the Princess, how is it now? Could his condition have improved?"
The innocent smiling face of Siti Adawiyah suddenly flashed in Asrul's mind, making her laugh alone.
Mbah Jena laughed out loud, "Actually I am also looking forward to that young man, I heard his abilities have improved greatly over the past few years. I want to see the extent of the change that's happened to him."
An Imam named Zeni approached Mbah Jena to give him a letter.
Mbah Jena's face became excited as she read the contents of the letter, while the Zeni smiled gently.
"Brother Gus Mukhlas is already in Mallorca! Nice one!" Mbah Jena ordered Zeni to immediately pick Gus Mukhlas and Asrul up to the Palace. "Siti Adawiyah must be pleased with the arrival of Asrul."
Mbah Jena also called one of the Imams, asking him to escort Gus Mukhlas because the situation in Mallorca was not safe.
When the Zeni returned, Zeni opened another conversation, "sir Jena, haven't you made up your mind yet?"
The happiness on Mbah Jena's face disappeared upon hearing the question, he shook his head slowly, "No, I'm still worried about a lot of things that might happen. Suppose the other two pieces do not back down, maybe I have more firmness. The situation is unfavorable therefore I seek other help."
Mbah Jena rubbed his beard, thought of a few things and remained silent for quite a while. Mbah Jena understands if not because Mbah Jena is interested in seeing Siti Adawiyah become a great swordsman and the large amount of resources provided by Mallorca City, he said, surely Mbah Jena has long withdrawn from the struggle for the throne.
"Bah Jena, I hope you understand that our situation will be increasingly unfavorable. The patience of other candidates must have its limits, not to mention the group behind it. If they all move now, we won't have enough strength to withstand the onslaught that's coming." Zeni said with a heavy tone.
"Zeni, it's not easy to find someone willing to interfere in this kind of situation so we can only rely on the resources of the royal family. I heard the Lotus family also decided to side with me, in the near future they will send someone to talk about the coalition and of course the Lotus family..." Mbah Jena stopped talking when he saw the change in Zeni's face.
"Mbah Jena, without diminishing my respect. According to Mbah Jena, because who are we in a situation like this? Isn't it because of the Moon Flower family? But until now they still have not sent help when they are the main cause." Zeni said with a slight growl.
Mbah Jena could only respond with an awkward smile, Zeni's words were not at all wrong. Zeni also reminded that even the arrival of Gus Mukhlas would not make much change even though Gus Mukhlas was one of the 20 Imams still strongest on Mount Siguntang.
Of course Mbah Jena realized that, the reason he invited Gus Mukhlas was something different.
"Who's the important guest being picked up like this?"
"See a young man with a sacrifice and a burly youth."
"It looks like they're travelers."
Seeing more and more citizens gathered, 20 palace soldiers began to move to disperse the crowd.
"Priest Gus Mukhlas, I'm sorry to make you wait so long."
"Zeni, you're too shy. Thank you for bothering to pick us up."
Asrul recognized the middle-aged man before him as Imam Zeni, one of the hundred Imams of Mallorca. Even though Imam Zeni was over 50 years old but he did not dare to be disrespectful to Gus Mukhlas because the power of Gus Mukhlas was far above him.
In the martial world, age is often not a benchmark but the strength that someone has because of that Gus Mukhlas is so respected even though he is still not 30 years old.
"This must be Asrul, I've heard your students lunge too. You two were really good at making names on the way here." Imam Zeni let out a laugh as he looked at Asrul.
"What does Imam Zeni mean? I don't understand it." Gus Mukhlas was confused.
"Oh, Imam Gus Mukhlas doesn't know yet? Let's talk about it on the way." Imam Zeni invited Gus Mukhlas to enter the horse carriage, considering that more and more residents wanted to see them.
On the way, Imam Zeni recounted that Gus Mukhlas and Asrul had become famous in recent times. The news of two people from Siguntang Hill destroying the headquarters of the Hard Stream group terrorizing the citizens has been hot news for the past week.
"I heard that our Padepokan now gets more work because of the reputation that Imam Gus Mukhlas built with Asrul this." Imam Zeni looked delighted.
In the white stream though there were hardly any knights willing to work without rewards. Gus Mukhlas was arguably the only titled knight who was willing to do all that, as being the enemy of an organization as big as a Hard Stream group was no small matter.
"Bah Jena is very happy with your actions, this makes the name of our parapokan also more prominent." Imam Zeni smiled widely.
"Priest Zeni, there is no need to think too much about that. I would rather know the situation of the usurpation of the throne, does Imam Zeni know what really happened?" Gus Mukhlas did not think too much about such matters of fame.
Imam Zeni explained that he did not know clearly the changes that occurred in recent times but what he knew was all related to the Kembang Bulan family and the Mallorca situation was not good.
"More precisely Imam Gus Mukhlas could hear from Mbah Jena or maybe directly from Taymiyyah because he invited you right?"
