Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Meeting the Ocean Ruler Dragon Demon

The latitude continues its journey. While trying the crossing, Lintang wants to see the state of the traders and others who usually use crossing services.

The latitude on the edge of the pier.

But the dock is a bit quiet. There are only boatmen and stall sellers.

Apparently, the merchants had already continued their journey, once the crossing path was safe.

The boatmen, as soon as they saw the arrival of Lintang, immediately competed in the race to offer his services.

"Are uncles all there whose boats are damaged, as long as there are stealth crocodiles ?" tanya Latitude.

It turns out there are indeed some boatmen whose boat is damaged, even drowned.

Then Lintang distributed some of the money that Lintang brought from Ki Mojo headquarters, they get a share of money from Lintang with the same amount, as a substitute for the boatmen idle when there are stealth crocodiles. While the boat is damaged until it sinks, get a replacement to buy a new boat.

Actually Lintang also plans to cross.

Finally, Lintang asked the uncle of the boatman who was the Lintang rent to find the existence of a crocodile demon. All pay the cost of sailing kemaren.

The latitude finally crossed smoothly.

After exiting the crossing pier, while walking normally, Lintang asked Ki Sardulo, "Think we went in which direction Ki ?"

"We go south and. We follow this path only. We're going to the coast" replied Ki Mojo.

"What's up with coastal Ki ?" tanya Latitude.

"There's a dragon demon, and" replied Ki Sardulo.

"Alright, we go south" said Lintang.

Lintang so remembered the story of his eyes, Ki Penahun. That on the coast are also many warriors who do not want to be tied to the palace. Either the coast of Lor (north) or the coast of Kidul (south). Especially those who have become ascetics, many are ascetic in cave caves.

Latitude deliberately runs ordinary, while looking at the life of the community.

It's been three days of traveling. On the way, many interspersed through the village. Sometimes to eat and stay at night.

Actually Lintang could have been sleeping and eating in the forest by hunting in the forest. But Lintang prefers to stop by the stalls and inns, in order to get news that might catch his attention.

Just like this fourth morning.

Lintang was at the diner where he stayed last night. Because this inn also provides stalls to eat or just drink.

Lintang heard the story that the end of this many inhabitants around the coast are missing. That said, the missing person, wanted or asked by the ruler of the southern ocean.

"Is that a dragon demon ?" ki Sardulo.

"Ki Sardulo knows about the dragon demon ?" tanya Latitude.

"As I told you the day after tomorrow, the five of us regularly meet in the world of stealth" Ki Sardulo explained.

"This dragon's smile is indeed unique. She's a very proud woman. Although the five of us are capable of balance, but he has a great desire. He wanted to establish a demon kingdom with her as his queen. He said he wanted to conquer the ruler around the coast, either in the demon world or the pus of the human world," Ki Sardulo gave a lengthy explanation.

"Why don't the other four demons reprimand or ban him Ki ?" tanya Latitude.

"The five of us have an agreement not to interfere with each other's affairs" Ki Sardulo replied.

"If den Lintang wants to meet the dragon demon, we are in the direction of the limestone hills directly opposite the coastal den" Ki Sardulo suggested.

"Alright Ki. This morning we headed to the hills," asked Lintang.

The cross takes another path. Now his journey through the fields, fields and forests using the science of lightening his body.

In the afternoon when the sun sinks, Latitude reaches a calcareous hill that faces the ocean.

The latitude stopped at the highest plateau in those hills. For a moment the latitude faced the ocean. When his face, his shoulder-length hair and his entire body were hit by the sea breeze. There was a strange feeling he felt. Almost the same feeling Latitude felt as when Latitude was on the plains around the top of the mountain. But there is a different sensation.

But, from both places, brought the same thing. A feeling of peace, serenity and awareness, how small Latitude as a human being, surrounded this realm. Soaring mountains, vast forests, stretched seas as if they were endless. Especially when looking at the night sky where star stars flicker non-stop.

Lintang so remembered the advice of his eyes when they chat at night.

Meanwhile, Lintang was immersed in that feeling. Enjoy that sensation. Feeling loose in his chest.

Then refocus his heart and mind. Something has to be done.

Soon Lintang find a comfortable place to sit cross-legged, just rest and mediate to restore energy, although his run using the science of relieving the body earlier, not much draining energy.

About three hours latitude rest sitting meditated. Only the sound of wind was accompanying him.

Suddenly Lintang felt something change. The wind and wind sounds stopped. Silent. Later, Latitude heard a tinkling sound, like in the distance. The voice seemed to be approaching, sounding increasingly clear.

From the direction of the ocean, Latitude saw a golden-yellow flame. Huge. As it gets closer towards the latitude.

The latitude focuses his vision.

It looks like a golden carriage, with six horses pulling it. The train was floating in the air. Very fast movement.

A moment later, the carriage was already thirty meters away from where the Latitude was now standing. The train was like walking in the air.

Latitude saw, the carriage was sais a woman, dressed like a female knight from the palace. Behind him, was also a woman, dressed like a palace princess. And behind and to the right left of the car, the female horseman who seemed to be escorting the car.

Silent atmosphere. The gemrincing sound, which came from the chariot that was walking over had also stopped.

The latitude just kept quiet and looked at them. The women were all, staring intently at Latitude.

Then there was a voice, soft and slow but as close to the ear.

"Young man, who are you ? We came because we felt the energy that turned out from you," asked the carriage as it stood up from its seat.

"I am Lintang, from Mount Merbabu," replied Lintang.

"If you have any business in the area, get it done. And then go all the way from along this coast. Let's not have the opposite business. Because we never disturb the Merbabu Platah" said the train again.

"I just rest and spend the night here" replied Lintang.

Silence when the chariot is inward, this human child has immense power. But he was not from the human kingdom, like the young man the princess met.

The latitude is also deep, this is the dragon demon told by Ki Sardulo. His energy was indeed like that of a demon energy, the same magnitude as Ki Sardulo's energy. Maybe it's the dragon demon.

"I just rested, tomorrow morning I've continued the journey again" said Lintang.

"All right, we're retreating. Hopefully if we meet again, not in the opposite state," said the train.

A clattering sound was heard again as the horse-drawn carriage went into the sea, which momentarily vanished from the sight of the Latitude.

The wind again blew, his voice was as simple as chasing.

The latitude sat back. The latitude feels exhausted and needs rest again.
