The Dragon God Swordsman
23. Offers
“Minister has a grudge against the young man isn't it?” ask the young lady back.
“What do you mean?” ask the mysterious man.
“I can help to avenge him, but on one condition if the minister can grant him” young lady's revenge.
Minister Balda's countenance changed hearing that it was not because his revenge desire was known by this young woman. According to the story of the young woman's age man is a friend of the red devil when studying black magic. The red devil did not want to come along because there were things he had to finish, instead he offered one of his friends from the island of Sulagendi to help the Adipura and Obstacle kingdom side.
“What terms did you apply for?” asked Minister Balda after a moment of silence.
“Didn't the young man have a wife, I could send a santet to his wife. And I assure you he will definitely die after” replied the young lady with an unpleasant laugh.
Minister Balda who was initially calm now stood up and clenched his hands while staring intently at the young woman. As a swordsman of the white school he did not like the practice of black magic like this. Even though he has a grudge but getting it back doesn't have to be like this he thought.
“No! I still have the soul of humanity unlike yours!” replied minister Balda aloud.
“Haa... Haaa... Haaa... I only offer why it should be like that Minister” said the young woman casually.
“You can't fool me, I've lived long in the martial world. Your reason for killing that young man's wife for your ritual isn't it?” minister Balda asked with a sword already out of the scabbard.
“Cihh..... It turned out that the minister understood a little black magic ritual in our place” replied the young woman who had also raised a sword and fan in her hand.
The tension between the two made the mysterious man unable to stay silent to look at her. In a hurry he confronted the two by standing his back to the young woman and why the minister Balda stood up.
“Ministeri should calm down first, student Jaka immediately bring the minister out to look for fresh air. Circumstances here are already very hot” pinta mysterious man.

“Please understand the circumstances once again minister” pinta mysterious man back.
Minister Balda was now silent and contemplating the words of the mysterious man. As the leader of this army he should have kept no divisions in the alliance. If a fight occurs maybe the morale of the troops will be reduced because it sees their superiors are not even compact with each other.
“Good, disciple Jaka immediately ordered the troops to move now” minister Balda's order after calm.
“Good guru” reply king Jaka and immediately go.
“And you better not do anything when I don't ask for it” said Balda minister directed to the young woman.
The young woman did not answer but laughed and now stepped out of the tent where they were. He then moved towards the troops he had brought himself. Then the mysterious man and minister Balda followed out to check the preparations of his troops.
“Teacher, the troops are ready to leave” said the king of Jaka.
“As soon as departing, we must arrive at the destination before their reinforcements come fully” minister Balda's order.
After the direction of the king of Jaka the troops are now on the move. Everything was going well with a very neat line. Minister Balda, the mysterious man and king Jaka boarded the chariot while the young woman mounted her own horse accompanied by her respective troops.
On the way minister Balda only silent so is the mysterious man. But the two now began to react after the king of Jaka opened his voice to ask the thing that was holding his heart at this time.
“Teacher, sorry if student sassy. Whether students can ask about one thing” said king Jaka breaking the silence.
“What do Jaka students want to ask?” answer the mystery man.
“Actually what ritual did minister Balda say when in the tent earlier?” ask the king of Jaka back.
