Soul Knight

Cirebon Jawara

"He..He's..No need to rush the kids!" Pukh! one slow clap makes Wirayudha move again.

"Follow me young!" The old figure then walked in front of Wirayudha taking him to a side street tavern.

After sitting face to face, a friendly smile expands on his lips and says to Wirayudha back, "I order a drink for you young man, this drink is very famous named Wedang Bajigur, can warm and make your body fresh!"

"Thank you, cake!" Wirayudha was still staring curiously at the old man in front of her.

"You may call me Ki Manggala, I see you are not a resident of Cirebon! what are you looking for?"

"My name is Wirayudha Ki, I'm just walking through Kotaraja here!"

The store situation is not crowded, there are only about five visitors, when Wirayudha noticed them while drinking Wedang Bajigur, they threw a friendly smile and nodded their heads greeting sign.

"Wira, I've reopened your kanuragan abilities! but you don't use it here!"

"Here is the land of the Guardians, no one is allowed to be stupefied by the nature of adigang adigung and pride themselves!"

"Okay Ki Manggala, thank you for your advice!" after thinking hard and studying the situation, Wirayudha finally understood, that he was facing a kind of Constable in his country, who was in charge of securing the territory.

He can draw such conclusions, because he saw the clothes worn by the male visitors in the tavern in uniform and black, exactly the same as the one worn by Ki Manggala, who was wearing it, just a little difference, on the right chest of Ki Manggala there is a picture of Calligraphy with gold thread embroidery, while on the chest of men who are gathering, the Calligraphy embroidery uses ordinary yarn.

"This is the symbol of the Kingdom of Cirebon, forming Lafadz "Laa ilaha Illallah" which means there is no God but Allah!" Ki Manggala explained the emblem on his shirt, as if he knew Wirayudha's desire to ask.

"Is this what Tigers call 'Ki?" Wirayudha then again asked in a soft voice.

"He..He's..Hey, you're young, but it turns out your knowledge is pretty good!"

"Aach...Forgive me for my ignorance Ki!" Wirayudha then stood up and turned to Ki Manggala.

"What do you mean, hero! why did you change your attitude toward me?"

"My father once told me Ki, a group of special forces from the Cirebon Palace named Troop Ali numbering 12 people, will only appear if Cirebon is hit by a crisis! It's an honor to meet you Ki!"

The tense faces were seen from the five people who probably listened to Wirayudha's words in front of Ki Manggala.

"Sit back down, hero! it's enough that you're aware of our existence, I believe you have no bad intentions here, continue your journey back, you can look around Cirebon as much as possible!"

"But remember Wirayudha! if one day you return to Cirebon with a different intention! we will not face the situation as it is now!"

After saying so, Ki Manggala and his five colleagues then resigned.

Wirayudha was still sitting when he saw Ki Manggala coming out of the store, to calm his heart, Wirayudhapun grabbed a glass made of clay containing Wedang Bajigur, intending to drink it.

How shocked Wirayudha, when his hand grasped the glass, the coldness spread in his hand, creeping up the elbow, it turned out that Wedang Bajigur who was in the glass had frozen. until the glass was behind, the liquid from the glass did not spill a single drop, but from now on he did not see a second Ki Manggala touch the glass.

"Aissch...It turns out that above the sky there is a sky, this is just the beginning, I hope to travel on this Priangan Earth safely.

"Viraaa...So annoying! it turns out you're sitting here!" suddenly appeared Lestari from the front door of the store.

"Mistake it yourself, you left me Lestari!" Wirayudha smiled at Lestari.

Then Lestari was seen throwing his body in a chair near Wirayudha.

As the two of them spoke, the voice of the shopkeeper woman shouted to her husband, "The back, the embers of the fire in our furnace are over, please add them first! I can't cook!"

Not long after his wife's screams had gone unheard, a man carrying embers with his bare hands passed where Wirayudha and Lestari were sitting.

"Akhc...What country is Lestari? to the extent that the shop seller has a high Kanuragan!"

"Wira, in Cirebon it is not strange to see ordinary residents have high Kanuragan! did you just see it?"

"Yes Lestari, with this kind of ability, in my place is already a high class swordsman!"

"Then, when I first stopped by, I was like you always surprised to see people here have strange abilities."

"Then from that Wira, this country is safe sentausa, let alone a Sultan who is powerful and wise, just last full moon, last, Sultan of Cirebon named Panembahan Ratu was married to a daughter of Pajang named Princess Harisbaya, it is said that the Princess is very beautiful, Princess Harisbaya is still a descendant of nobles from the Madura Country.

Wirayudha only beards when listening to Lestari's description.

"Oad...Why do I even praise Cirebon, instead of me having the task of making Wirayudha interested and willing to serve in Sumedang Larang, stupid you Lestari!" Lestari is all about herself.

"Come Wira...We need to continue our journey!" Lestari finally took Wirayudha away from the store to continue the journey towards Kutamaya.

The two walked back to the west, passing through Pedawung Pedauhan, after which they arrived in the Plered area which contained many batik cloth craftsmen, "Wirayudha also had time to buy a jarit that has a Mega Mendung batik pattern, exactly like the one his father used to have for his long hair fastener.

Lestari only looked at Wirayudha while tying her hair, "Hmm.I was worried that the longer she was with me, I fell for her!"

"Why do you keep looking at me Lestari? is this batik cloth not suitable for me?"

"Very suitable Hero, you already look like a swordsman from Padjajaran!"

"Lestari, I want to ask you a favor! after I got to Kutamaya, the first person I wanted to meet was Raden Genta Buana, did you know him?"

"Because according to Kuwu Brodin, Raden Genta Buana once looked for me and my mother in Jalaksana, he was the older brother of my mother!"

"Are you serious, girl? Raden Genta Buana's? he is still a relative of one of Kandaga Lante, namely Ki Pancar Buana."

"I don't know for sure Lestari, hopefully I can meet the relatives of my mother!"

"Glech...Lestari gulped her own saliva, if Wirayudha was the niece of Genta Buana, it is inconceivable that yesterday she had poisoned and killed Wirayudha while in the residence of Kuwu Brodin, cold sweat came out from Lestari's forehead out of fear.
