The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

The Ferry Boat

Everyone in the place was shocked to hear the words of the Humped Cow. When they were still unable to say anything, a group of Matahun Duchy soldiers came to be led by an officer of Demung rank.

The thick-bodied man with narrow eyes but black skin immediately rushed to the eldest son of Patih Lembu Yodha. His gaze pensively stared at the corpse of the Eight Killing Angels. Then he saw the helpless Earth Crow, kneeling before the Humped Ox.

"Raden Lembu Bungkul, Ram,

What is really going on here?", asked the Matahun soldier's high-ranking officer named Demung Gajah Lamuri immediately.

"Gusti Demung, please,

Looks like you can see for yourself that these assassins have been patronizing the Matahun Patience while my father was on duty outside the Duchy.

Isn't the security of the capital of the Duchy of Matahun your responsibility? What if this news gets out? Isn't this going to make your good name go down?", the Humpback Cow glanced towards Demung Gajah Lamuri.

"This.".", Demung Gajah Lamuri was at a loss for his words.

He had received a report from a Guard soldier of Reputation about the commotion that occurred in the Patihan, precisely around the private residence of Lembu Bungkul. He intended to look for face by coming to the place, not in the misty cow Hump instead menohok with questions that make it not warty.

Seeing the Lamuri Elephant Demung at a loss for words, the Humped Ox instantly smiled faintly. He could take advantage of this opportunity.

"If you don't want anyone to know at once this is your service, you better help me to catch the mastermind of all this.

It is certain that Gusti Adipati Arya Permada will give a great gift to anyone who can capture the 8 Killer Angels. If you mind I don't force you either" said the Humped Ox with a faint smile.

Bungkul cows are very understanding of the nature of Lamuri Elephants who are a little greedy and thirsty for praise. The lure of the big prize plus the praise of the Duke of Arya Permada must be something that he could not refuse.

"Of course I'll help you catch the mastermind of this attempted murder. Just so you don't ask for a share of the gift from Gusti Adipati Arya Permada hehehehe...

Now let me teach this bastard a little lesson so that my hands get dirty" said Demung Gajah Lamuri who immediately got a nod of the head of the Hump Cow.

The thick-bodied man immediately threw a hard kick towards the chest of the Earth Crow.

Dhiesshhhhh..

Auuggghhhhh!!

Screams of pain rang out from the mouth of the Earth Crow who was still recovering his energy. Not only that, Demung Gajah Lamuri immediately threw punches and kicks bertubi towards the Earth Crow who was still helpless.

Bhuukkkhh dhiesshhhhh..

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

In just a few breaths, the Earth Crow had already been battered in beating by the Lamuri Elephant Demung. Her face was bruised, her two teeth dated and several bumps adorned her head.

"For mercy...

I kapok, I repent.", cried the Earth Crow who was really tortured by Demung Gajah Lamuri all out. When the high officer of the Matahun soldier was about to continue his actions, the Humped Ox immediately stopped him.

"Enough Gusti Demung..

I think he's learned enough".

Demung Gajah Lamuri immediately turned to the Bungkul Cow. This man stepped closer to the Humped Ox while shaking his hand.

"Now tell me, Raden Lembu Bungkul.

Who was behind your assassination attempt? That bastard has said it yet?", Demung Gajah Lamuri looked at the face of the Humped Ox.

"He said that Nyi Runting, the loyal servant of Dewi Kawiswari, my stepmother was the one who told him to, while Nyi Runting was also told by her master.

You better catch Nyi Runting first to fully investigate this problem," said Lembu Bungkul with a thin smile.

"Leave it to me, Raden..

Soldiers take this son of a bitch to jail. Let there be no mistake.

You, you and you..

Follow me. We arrest the mastermind of the attempted murder of Raden Lembu Bungkul now!", Demung Gajah Lamuri ordered quickly.

2 Soldiers immediately tied the body of the Earth Crow with a rope and then 6 soldiers escorted the Earth Crow towards the prison of the Duchy of Matahun. Meanwhile, Demung Gajah Lamuri brought 10 soldiers into Repatihan.

That very night, Nyi Runting was in the quarterback to the prison by Demung Gajah Lamuri. Although there was a commotion because Dewi Kawiswari intervened and tried to thwart the arrest of Nyi Runting, Nyi, but Demung Gajah Lamuri uses a special badge from the Duke of Arya Permada until Dewi Kawiswari can not do anything.

Arya Pethak who had just watched this drama, just shook her head while smiling thinly.

"You're smart too apparently Brother Cow Humped.

In this way, your stepmother also cannot escape the legal snares of the Duchy of Matahun", said Arya Pethak immediately.

"I've been quiet for a long time, Brother Pethak.

I will not allow anyone to bully me as well as he sees me again", replied the Humped Ox with a knotty smile.

The long night ended with the capture of Nyi Runting and the Earth Crow, the leader of the remaining Eight Killing Angels.

Morning is coming.

After breakfast together, the group of people Kembang Kuning Duchy say goodbye to Lembu Bungkul and Rara Maheswari. Resi Mpu Soma who was healthier than yesterday accompanied them to the gate of Patihan Matahun.

"Then excuse us, Brother Bungkul..

Hopefully at another time we can still meet again" Raden Wira Ganggeng said with great respect.

"I also hope that someday I will meet again with you, Raden Wira Ganggeng", replied Lembu Bungkul immediately.

The group moved to leave the Matahun Regency heading east, precisely to the Duchy of Hujung Galuh area to cross to the Duchy of Songeneb on the island of Madura.

After passing through several villages and small villages, they moved down the road on the river bank towards the east.

Wide Pitrang who slept overnight because of exhaustion, was so shocked when he heard the story of Raden Wira Ganggeng about the assassination attempt on Bungkul Oxen last night.

"Well, no one woke me up last night. If you know anyone wants nyoddhu (piercing) my friend, it must not sting his neck" said Wide Pitrang immediately.

"I also don't know what and how it happened, Brother Wide..

Fortunately there was Brother Pethak and his friends who helped until Raden Lembu Bungkul survived. I was lucky that they would escort me to the Duchy of Songeneb", Raden Wira Ganggeng smiled faintly.

"That sengko agrees with Den Raden Wira Ganggeng.

Their martial ability is indeed far above the average of ordinary warriors", said Wide Pitrang quickly.

By midday, they reached the banks of the Tambakberas river. On the bank of the small river the company stopped to rest their horses.

The charioteers immediately let go of the chariot-pulling horse to eat the grass that thrived on the banks of the small river. In the thickets that grew there, horses were tied up. The personal guards Raden Wira Ganggeng also bathe their horse to give freshness to their mount animals so that their horses are refreshed before continuing the journey.

They enjoy dry food that has been prepared as a stomach filler before continuing the journey back.

After enough rest, the group of people Kembang Kuning Duchy kicked his horse towards the east.

When afternoon arrived, the group reached the border of the city of Hujung Galuh which is a large port city in Singhasari kingdom. The city is very crowded with traders from outside the island of Jawadwipa and foreign traders who enter the territory of the Singhasari Kingdom from abroad.

Wide Pitrang that poultice this area directly directs the group towards a large inn that is west of the Brantas River which is the trading vein of Singhasari Kingdom in the east.

A short-bodied man in fine clothes immediately welcomed their arrival.

"Welcome to our inn, Brother Wide Pitrang..

You haven't been here for a long time" said the short-bodied man with a faint smile.

Want to not report to your Duke Gusti?", Wide Pitrang whispered to the short-bodied man.

"I'm just kidding, Brother Wide..

Are you going to stay at our place tonight? Because Pitrang brothers have not greeted me for a long time, I will give a discount" said the short-bodied man who is the owner of the large inn quickly.

"Well, that's my name's tretan (friend)..

Uh, try ba'na (you) call the boatman here, Hayam Abang. We will hire his boat to cross into the Duchy of Songeneb tomorrow morning", Wide Pitrang orders the short-bodied man he calls Hayam Abang.

"If it's an easy matter, Brother Wide..

Ba'na better get some rest. Let me tell the boatman immediately", Hayam Abang nodded as he invited Arya Pethak's entourage and his comrades to rest.

The night before arriving in the Duchy of Hujung Galuh.

After getting a notification from Hayam Abang that the boatman, Mpu Nala could not meet them, then that night Wide Pitrang invited Raden Wira Ganggeng, who was the boatman, Arya Pethak and Hayam Abang met Mpu Nala at his residence located next to the Port of Hujung Galuh.

The four of them rode north. In front of a large house surrounded by a fence of beluntas trees, the group stopped its steps. Hayam Abang descended from his horse followed by Arya Pethak, Raden Wira Ganggeng and Wide Pitrang.

A thick-bodied man with slightly blackish skin from sunburn with shady eyes and a friendly smile greeted their arrival.

"Welcome to my hut, Brother Wide Pitrang..

I'm sorry I couldn't come to your invitation because of some business. Please sit down", greet the owner of the house quickly. Wide Pitrang, Arya Pethak, Raden Wira Ganggeng and Hayam Abang immediately sat cross-legged on the wooden chair provided.

"Mpu Nala, please,

I don't want to talk stale anymore. We'd like to rent your boat. Of course with your men to cross over to the Duchy of Songeneb.

How much pesse' (money) costs?", said Wide Pitrang with his distinctive dialect.

"For the four of you or is there anyone else?", asked Mpu Nala immediately.

"We want to rent a boat full of Kisanak. You see, besides us, there are still many of our friends who will also leave for the Duchy of Songeneb ", said Raden Wira Ganggeng quickly.

"Well, if one boat is full, the cost is quite expensive Kisanak. Can you tell me how many people are leaving? Our boat is enough to accommodate 30 people with a lot of cargo. It was outside my men loh", Mpu Nala smiled faintly.

"No problem with the price. For sure we want a full boat with no one else but our people and also your men, Kisanak..

How did you answer?", Raden Wira Ganggeng looked at Mpu Nala's face.

Mpu Nala did not answer yet, 4 well-dressed people entered the house.

"Good night, Mpu Nala..

Well there are still guests apparently", said one of them who seems to be the leader of this group.

"Good night Merchant Wangsakrama.

Tumben night tonight come here. Is there anything I can help you with?", Mpu Nala greeted kindly.

"I'd like to rent your boat to transport my merchandise to Madura Island. How much is the rent?", asked the Wangsakrama merchant without further ado.

"Sorry Juragan..

My guests have already booked my boat rental. I can't rent it to you", replied Mpu Nala politely. Hearing that, the Wangsakrama Merchant directly looked towards Arya Pethak and his comrades cynically.

'Huhhhh...

This guy doesn't seem to have much money. I'll raise the rent price for sure they can't do anything ', inner merchant Wangsakrama.

"Mpu Nala, please,

I increased the rent twice as much as usual. You rent your boat to me" said Merchant Wangsakrama while smiling mockingly at Raden Wira Ganggeng and his comrades.

"This.", Mpu Nala looks doubtful with her decision.

"Hi Mpu Nala, so people don't go to plan.. It is clear that we came first, so we deserve your service first.

If only the price is double than usual, we also saguh pay her", said Wide Pitrang who began to fuss.

"If you have money, show it to us. Don't brag much" said Merchant Wangsakrama while smiling with contempt.

Hearing that, Raden Wira Ganggeng directly threw a bag of gold kepeng on the table Mpu Nala. There are hundreds of gold pieces in it.

The eyes of the merchant Wangsakrama and his followers glared wide at it all as well as Mpu Nala. They did not expect that these people had a lot of money.

The Wangsakrama merchant who had to get a boat to transport merchandise thought hard. If until there is no boat that transports his merchandise, it could be that he loses a lot because many of his merchandise is damaged. He used his last means to get Mpu Nala's boat.

"I don't care if you have money or not, anyway Mpu Nala boat should I rent.

If you are still forcing the crossing boat with us, don't blame me if I teach you a lesson" said the Wangsakrama merchant who immediately made the four people behind him step forward.

"Patik Celleng (Black dog),

Apparently ba'na want to play violence huh?", Wide Pitrang immediately stood up from his seat, as well as Raden Wira Ganggeng and Arya Pethak.

"You picked the wrong opponent"
