The Musafir

White Wind College and Misguided Teachings

The library was almost closed when Mantingan came out of the library building. The mantan then walked to the courtyard. The sky had darkened since then, but the road in front of the library was not also deserted by the traffic. Many chariots passed slowly, many people were walking on the side of the road.

As Mantingan looked around, he found the female attendant who had made an appointment with him this afternoon. The officer was sitting on one of the quiet park benches, so Mantingan quickly approached the woman.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

The female officer who was looking at the street was now looking at Mantingan. “Sahaya is not too long to wait, but Sahaya does not have much time, so please sit down and listen to the explanation of the peril so that you do not study at the college.” The attendant then glanced at a young lady standing behind Mantingan, she gaped. “Nyai Dara! Jesus, is that really you?!”

Mantingan looked back and found Dara who was smiling shyly.

“Betul, but do not call me by that name ...," he said.

The female attendant stood up and looked at Dara with a look of disbelief. Mantingan himself honestly still do not know how famous Dara, but if you see the response of the library officer, then Mantingan if you can estimate how famous Dara.

Mantingan also saw that Dara seems to be a woman who is favored by many men, either because of her appearance or because of her work as an auction host.

If so, Mantingan will not be surprised if Dara forced him to continue to receive a sword and a gift of sleep with him. It seems Dara is also an important person in the auction, until the auction itself includes a swordsman to guard it.

Now Mantingan saw the female officer was about to hug Dara strongly, but she seemed to hold back knowing it was very embarrassing in front of Mantingan. Even so, the female attendant could not help but ask.

“How can Nyai be here? Sahaya did not see Nyai enter the library, whereas Sahaya was on guard all day behind the guest table.”

“I did not enter through the front door, but entered through the back door. There's an auction I have to bring this afternoon.”

“Ah, so Nyai fills the auction on the second floor of this library?!”

“Sure.” Dara smiled embarrassedly again.

“Gosh, how could Sahaya not have the feeling to feel the existence of Nyai Dara in this library? Until Sahaya could not follow the auction brought Nyai Dara, even though Sahaya had coveted to see Nyai on the auction stage selling goods at a much higher price! Because the way Nyai Dara is so awesome!”

The mantle shook slowly. If what the officer said was true, then the Blood Wind Palm Book he bought actually had a much cheaper price than 70 pieces of gold. Mantenan was a little disappointed to see the devious ways that many people used just to look for gold pieces.

What is that piece for? If Mantingan imagine, then the money printed right now is pieces of material that comes from the ground. For example gold pieces, gold seeds are taken from the ground. Taking gold by itself is not an easy matter, it must require mining to dredge it in the ground. And the mine itself stands because it has gold pieces to buy the idols of its land or building materials. Then the gold was minted into currency, and that currency was what many people were fighting for.

Many robbers who sneakily steal gold pieces from many traders who pass in the streets, even they do not hesitate to kill. So, is the golden seed that comes from the ground floor more valuable than one's life?

Not only traders who died because of the gold seed, many poor people who died because they did not have gold pieces to be exchanged for water and rice. For what is it that an inedible thing like a piece of money can be exchanged for many edible vegetables?

The same can be found in the world of work. For whatever reason people have worked hard just to expect the wages of gold pieces. After all, it was just a small object, not supposed to be worth the labor the workers put out.

Unfortunately, for this Mantingan still have not thought of a solution to the problem of the money chip. Because he himself still relied heavily on pieces to survive. So what he can do now is to breathe a long breath, when knowing how Dara obtained the money is quite fraudulent.

While Dara was currently being misbehaved in front of Mantingan, it was true that he raised the price of the Blood Wind Palm Book by almost twice, now he hoped that Mantingan was not too confusing.

Mantingan then cleared his throat once, immediately awakening the librarian to his whereabouts. Then the attendant said to Dara with a little sadness, “Niai, if Nyai is pleased, can Nyai have a conversation with me after I had a short conversation with this foolish young man?”

Dara seemed to ignore the call of the officer, because he was used to reject similar offers. Dara was much more interested, even astonished, in the officer's remark that Mantingan was a foolish young man.

“Surely he's stupid for what?”

The attendant said a little annoyed, “Surely he was a fool, Nyai, wanted to learn silat in the college of the perverted wind ..”

The mantle could not hold itself back this time. Nothing about him should be heard to Dara's ears.

“Sorry, but you should keep this a secret. Didn't you whisper to me as if your words were forbidden to hear?”

“Light does not matter if you have to tell this to Nyai Dara, if you do not like it then just go!”

Mantingan almost did not expect what the female attendant had just said, but then Mantingan realized that this woman was a huge fan of Dara, then it would not be surprising if the officer said anything to Dara.

Now it was Dara's turn to say as if melting a tense atmosphere. “Not why, I'll keep it a secret. No need to worry and no need to worry. But I also advise you not to study at White Wind College. You need to know, O foolish man, that the perverse college is not completely exhausted and is left to be destroyed by the kingdom. They still exist, but their existence is unknown to date. So you do not seek them, if you do not want to be lost as they are.”

The mantle scrunched his forehead. “What makes them presumed heretical?”

Dara looked around first before saying, “They want to overthrow the wheels of government, and replace them with rules of government that they think are right. They spread their teachings to the wider community, and the government did not like it, and in short the college was under a massive attack from the kingdom, the attack crushed the warriors and disciples there without mercy. Although all members of their college have died, but it is believed that those who have accepted the heresy still maintain the goal of the White Wind College, which is to overthrow the wheels of government.”
