The Musafir
Caught
ALTHOUGH things were really confusing, really confusing, the Mantingan would never miss a golden opportunity like this. Given the existing uproar, where the palace map granting the Dark Lord had been stolen, the young man did not think much and weighted up before releasing the high-powered Blood Wind Palm towards the swordsman!
No more the attack. The warrior was like a little mosquito clapped by a giant hand. Instantly his body of life was released, sliding down!
Mantingan immediately slid both his legs to the ground, creating two long lines over the streets of Kotaraja. The speed of his dived sharply to a perfect stop after applying the science of lightening the body.
His eyes looked around before taking a deep breath. The street he was currently on was not a completely deserted place. Which streets of Kotaraja are truly free from all the activities that take place from morning until morning again?
The people around him immediately ran away. Without a rowdy, they worry if shouting will only make life loose from the body. Until now, the road was completely deserted. Except for the Mantingan, no one else was still standing there.
The inhabitants of Kotaraja, although very familiar with the martial world with all kinds of warriors in it, still never used to see lifeless bodies drenched in blood due to the fight of fellow warriors. Hasn't the Koying government strictly forbidden the warriors in the city to kill for perfection?
Now the business will be very complicated. It can't be finished just like that. Nothing would be as easy as when he killed thousands of warriors in the northern sea battle of Tarumanagara.
Manten rushed to search the swordsman's body, and indeed he found a puddle that was given the network of the Dark Lord. After that, he wanted to immediately flash back to the palace as quickly as possible, but then a voice held him back.
“Wait a minute, Son!”
The mantang clearly knew that voice. Mother of the owner of the Thousand Cup Store!
“Don't go straight back to the palace,” said the woman as she walked quickly over to Mantingan. “Stay here until the palace guard soldiers catch you.”
The mother of the owner of the Thousand Cup Store then told briefly that she immediately flashed chasing Mantingan when she saw the young man darting fast not how far from the store. However, the Mantin was truly unsurpassed, its speed likened to having broken through all sorts of speeds in the universe. So that way, the tavern owner's mother could only follow the aerial trail to catch up with the young man. Even the air can be left on a trail!
On the way, he also saw some warriors who participated in the pursuit, for that the mother of the owner of the shop spread sirep which if it can confuse the warriors of the warrior for a while.
“They will arrive soon, give me the popsicle, I will return it soon,” said the mother of the store owner whose beauty and tenderness really do not fade. “And take this to disguise your face.”
The mantle receives a sheet of orange-colored objects that are supple and pliable. He did not know the usefulness of this thing.
“Taste it on your face, it will stick by itself. The look on your face will change quite a lot until no one will be able to recognize you.”
That means that the Mantingan received was a magic item!
"You might get arrested, or even arrested, but I guarantee it won't be long" the shop's mother said.
"Why is that?"
"These warriors are the deliveries of the palace." The tavern owner's mother immediately flashed away without giving Mantingan the slightest chance to ask again, leaving a big question inside the young man's head.
Shortly after, the other shadows came. The mantle was immediately pierced by many sword blades. The young man raised both hands, although actually defeating the royal soldiers could be done more easily than turning the palm of the hand.
***
He recalled how Chitra Anggini faced two tough opponents last night, so there was no guarantee whatsoever about the girl's safety at this time.
Perhaps Chitra Anggini had defeated one of them, but what about the one remaining swordsman who could even escape with a map of the palace layout?
It had indeed been an intention to break out of the dungeon in this palace by directly destroying it, but then it was rethought how it could completely destroy his entire plan. His identity as the Hero Man will certainly be revealed, because the prison room he occupies today is full of magic spells that cannot be penetrated so easily.
After all, if something happened to Chitra Anggini, then what could he do?
He should remember that his relationship with Chitra Anggini is only limited to cooperation above interests. The Spells were in the interest of saving Tapa Balian, while Chitra Anggini brought his group's interests to reclaim the Moon Sword Pair. If one of them dies, then the plan must continue as it was, unless the two indeed have a more conscious relationship!
Mantingan contemplation is again interested in the events of last night. Really, it's still hard to believe what he's done. Even the Angel of the North River, as the woman he truly loved, never received the same or at least closer treatment than that.
However, is it not okay if he did the quarrel on the basis of interests that might save the lives of many people in the future? Wasn't even himself willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the completion of those interests, so just his real passion couldn't be considered the slightest problem?
When Mantingan was still thinking that, he could see several heavily armed soldiers walking towards him. One of them can identify Mantingan as a full-fledged sorcerer of all the seals in the royal dungeon. Immediately he prepared, because the appearance of the magician must not be without cause.
"Brother, come with us and do not even think of resisting." One of the soldiers said.
The mantan simply nodded his head without answering any further and allowed the sorcerer to open one after another of the magic spells sealing his room. After the door was opened, he was led up the stairs.
The mantle remained calm.
"We can't give you breakfast, it's so urgent, the judge asks you to attend as soon as possible."
The mantan nodded his head again in response to the soldier's words. In his mind, he was quite amazed at the rules in the palace dungeon. As long as the accused is not found guilty in the judgment, all his needs must be met as well as possible, including food, clean water for drinking and bathing, change of clothes, etc, up to even fairy tales or tips to calm the mind.
***
The judgment hall is not attended by many people, just mere witnesses. But in that place, only Mantingan is suspected of being a suspect for the killing of warriors in the palace.
Supposedly, it would be a very grave offense to kill inside the palace. The punishment was terrible, with each hand and foot tied to four horses in the four directions, then the executioner whipped the four horses which would then run as fast and as strong as possible. Isn't death terrible?
However, it was inevitable, even the judge who presided over the trial to apologize to him.
"The defense of the palace was caught off guard so that Brother Mantingan had to dirty his hands to handle the warriors. I represent all of them sincerely thank you and beg your forgiveness."
The mantelan returned only a small nod. He knew very well that the judge was doing a charade to clean up the rotten act of the palace that sent assassins to finish off some of the swordsman couples they suspected!
Is correct. Not only Mantingan and Chitra Anggini were attacked that night, a number of swordsmen in the Thousand House Palace Environment also suffered the same attack. The difference is that only Mantingan and Chitra Anggini survived, while the others were killed.
