The Adventures of Neu Pen'du

4. The Origin of the Ancestral Stone

"Don't be surprised, I know where the stone came from and where it came from"

Namo and Nonai are surprised they initially guess but when Mr. Pendu admits it they are even more surprised.

"Do you want to know?"

Namo and Nonai instantly nodded their heads, who did not want to know the secret of their ancestral stone.

They were not afraid to be lied to by Mr. Pendu because they believed that a mysterious figure like Mr. Pendu could not possibly lie and most importantly there was no benefit to lying to them.

"Hahaha, it is human beings like you that amuse me. I really like people who value history"

Praised by Mr. Pendu, Namo and Nonai smiled shyly, and were ready to listen.

"Before that eat this first"

Finished spoke of the many roots that grew from the underground cave and the fruits of a type unknown to Namo and Nonai grew from those roots.

They were initially hesitant but Mr. Pendu assured them that the fruit was harmless, and was actually beneficial to the human body.

Namo and Nonai did not hesitate any longer, before they ate they thanked him and began to eat.

They initially thought that the taste of the fruit was strange but they were wrong, the color of the fruits varied and the taste was different.

After eating the fruits, Mr. Pendu began to tell stories.

"Are you aware that your Ancestral stone gave rise to a name beginning with the letter 'N'?)

The couple kept nodding their heads and listening enthusiastically.

"A long time ago there was a great rock floating in the vastness of the ocean, although very, very heavy, the rock survived despite rain and storms until the tsunami even wanted to hit the rock but it still floated solidly and roamed around the world"

"Until one day there was a human figure and a giant turtle who met the stone, at first they thought the stone was just a mountain peak in the sea, but strangely the stone moved like it was looking for something in the sea region"

"The rock moves like a fishing boat looking for fish. At first the man did not pay attention to the stone because he was also doing his own business in the sea area, but the turtle was different, he was really interested in the stone. Seen from wherever the stone is not a pumice stone. Obviously, the type and color of the stone is different from pumice. That's why the turtle watched the stone for months"

"Until one day the turtle caught a fish for their food, but suddenly the stone approached the turtle, the turtle who at all times noticed the stone was surprised at the action of the stone"

"When the turtle noticed the stone and wanted to eat the fish it caught, the stone disappeared without any sign of making the turtle surprised but when the turtle was still stunned the stone hit the turtle hard from the depths of the sea made the turtle bounce far away, the humans and turtles were shocked and angered by the stone's actions as they began to stabilize again"

"But that made them even more surprised, the fish that the turtle wants to eat is lost from the turtle's mouth instead of the fish in the stone wall and began to be sucked into the stone"

"In this world there are many strange things that they saw before but they were really surprised because they just saw a rock that sucks fish like in a round swallow"

No time for Mr. Pendu to continue his story, Namo asked.

"Is the stone our Ancestor's Stone?"

Nonai was surprised at her husband's actions he immediately shouted and scolded Namo, do not interrupt someone's story because it was disrespectful said Nonai.

"I'm sorry my husband is such a skimpy person about manners, please forgive my husband's behavior"

Knowing his disrespectful behavior Namo was embarrassed until his face reddened. He really does not understand the manners because he was born in a family that is always frank.

"Hahaha, it's okay to relax, I understand"

"What's your name, miss?"

"Nonai Tuan"

The husband and wife were relieved that Mr. Pendu was not angry and appreciated their true nature.

"Right, that's the origin of your ancestral stone"

Finished speaking Pendu Master was speechless which made the atmosphere of the moment become tense. They thought Mr. Pendu was angry for not continuing his story but it was just their misunderstanding.

Once again they felt relieved, Namo just smiled shyly at hearing that and Nonai was the one who started the first question.

"Who are these two figures, sir?"

"I can only tell you that the human figure is someone you call Nebo's ancestor and for a turtle to remain mysterious to avoid catastrophe"

They were both astonished, their ancestral figure was indeed strong as a fisherman and often carried large sized fish with only bare hands in his stories.

But they never knew that the mysterious rock that could withstand a tsunami and hit a giant turtle bouncing far away could be conquered by their ancestors.

"Is the stone an existence created by someone powerful to explore this world?" Ask Nonai

"No, the stone was created by this world. The vast oceanic energy one day gathered and collided and created the rock"

"I used to think that the ancestral stone was something special and magical but I didn't know that it was so great" Namo said

"Not only that, the stone is the weapon of pride of your ancestors"

"Weapons?"

Namo and Nonai were surprised, They believed that the stone was a noble item that could only give a name and a miracle, but they did not think that it was a weapon.

"True, the stone was originally formed like an ordinary chunk of stone. But your ancestors after conquering the stone continuously formed the stone into a great sword with their Blood Energy"

"Sorry our Master doesn't understand what blood energy is?"

They did not know about the blood energy discussed by Master Pendu, Blood energy could form a magic stone into a sword? They're really curious about that.

"You guys don't understand about the Blood Energy? It's only natural that I can't feel your inner energy"

"Nebo does spoil you, and until you do not understand the inner energy"

Put it very confused about what Mr. Pendu said. Blood energy?, Deep energy? Whatisit? And what makes them even more confused about their ancestors spoiling them?

Seeing the couple's expression, Mr. Pendu only sighed.

"Namo, can you pluck silver seaweed right now?"

"I can afford Mr. Pendu"

"Pick 99 pieces of Silver seaweed for me at this moment. I'll give you a name for your son"

The two couples were shocked and worried, if they could not get the name of the ancestral stone, they were afraid that their son would become the scum of the society for not getting the blessing of the Ancestral stone.

"Look, your ancestral stone is special, but the longer it takes to give everyone a name, the less blessings they get"

"I only need 99 silver seaweed to get a name and a greater blessing for your son"

At first they hesitated but Namo bowed and ran out of the cave, believing that the existence of this mysterious Pendu Master was truly great.

He is a person who is honest and believes in reality. Evidence that the great Lord Pendu had already been seen with his own eyes. Which great figure could control the roots and grow really tasty fruits just like that?.

Unlike Nonai she is very worried about her husband's actions without asking her, she is a mother figure who expects a bright future for her son.

Husband action is an action like gambling, if they win they will smile at the end. If they lose, they will regret it forever.

Looking at the concern of Nonai Mr. Pendu just smiled and said.

"Let's be calm this isn't something like gambling"

Hearing those words embarrassed Nonai that her worries were read.

"The original name of your Ancestral stone is 'N' because when your ancestors conquered it there was a carving of the letter 'N' that appeared on the stone"
