The mysterious man's expression showed discomfort, but he had not yet had time to answer minister Balda finally opened his voice and answered the question.

“You are still too young, as the new king of your busy life just to quell the movement of your brothers who want to rebel. Are you sure you want to hear the answer?” balta minister Balda.

“Murid sure minister” replied king Jaka after steadying his heart to hear the answer of his question.

“I know a little about the ritual that the woman did, and I think it was too wild”, Balda said.

Afterwards minister Balda continued to tell that the ritual was related to the very famous black magic on the island of Sulagendi. This ritual demands that its use be murder and eat the hearts of its victims, a virgin woman numbering 100. If it has reached that number then the user of this ritual will have enormous mystical power and does not rule out the possibility he can be a threat in the martial world.

“Although this ritual is very terrible there is also its weakness” minister Balda's words stopped here.

The look on the face of the king of Jaka and the mysterious man who initially heard carefully now glanced at the minister of Balda. Minister Balda was now silent and looking outwards while looking at the sky.

“Sorry minister, what are the weaknesses of the ritual?” asked the king Jaka back out of curiosity.

“This ritual is hereditary, can not be learned like silat. Each descendant must make one of them as a host so that this black magic continues” replied Balda minister still looking at the sky.

“How can the minister know all that?” ask the mystery man.

“I was once assigned there by king Padri and accidentally faced one of them. Fortunately at that time the science of the person I was fighting was not too high. Even so with great difficulty I can finally escape the pursuit” Balda reply and now glance towards the king of Jaka.

King Jaka and the mysterious man fell silent to minister Balda's explanation just now. They did not expect that the black magic of other islands also possessed this kind of absurd power.

King Jaka's troops continued to walk towards the designated place. Until the evening before night, his troops stopped to rest and make camp. Meanwhile, at Patih Purno rebel headquarters came out of his room and asked a soldier to be delivered to Aryo's room.

The tookkk... The tookkk... The tookkk...

Aryo immediately got up from his sleep and immediately opened the door. Afterwards Aryo invited Patih Purno to enter. Now that the two of them were sitting on the seats, Aryo did not expect that he had a guest this evening.

“What do you do Patih so it comes at this late time?” aryo asked to open the conversation.

“Sorry if interrupting the rest time young master” said Patih Purno while giving respect.

“It's okay Patih, maybe the arrival of Patih wants to discuss about important matters. Is that true?” ask Aryo back.

“True young master, I want to ask about one thing I saw when I got here” Patih Purno said.

Aryo now heard Patih Purno's question which was none other than about the room guarded by some soldiers very tightly. Because it seemed obstructed that the small room was guarded thus, Patih Purno asked if there was in the room so it should be maintained like that.

“If Patih is curious, I can bring Patih to see him” replied Aryo.

“If young master does not mind Patih willing to join” reply Patih Purno again.

“Mari Patih” take Aryo to Patih Purno.

The two of them walked out of the room and walked into the room. When the two until they do not go directly in because they wait for the arrival of the old man first. When old men come, they don't wait long, they finally go inside.

With a quick movement the old man lit a torch that became the lighting in the room. Because it was still too dark old man asked that 2 soldiers go inside with each torch. After the two of them slowly entered the room it finally became a little bright.

“Black tribe!” patih Purno said a little squealing.

Aryo and the man turned spontaneously towards Patih Purno who just shrieked. Both of them were confused by the words of Patih Purno just now. When the two were still in confusion, Patih Purno spoke again and asked Aryo.
