The Musafir
Guest Arrival from Javadvipa
SUDDENLY, Mantingan like back to hear the words of Chitra Anggini who ever delivered it through the eyes: “Don't! You will only die in vain!”
There was a humming sound as the executioner's mongoose was swung towards his neck, but in a blink of an eye the Mantingan suddenly rolled away avoiding the sabetage, thus it was not his neck that was slashed but the wooden board that became the ground floor of the building.
With a very fast movement as well, Mantingan menotok the blood path of all people in that place with a wind tootokan. Facing the strength of a swordsman, moreover who had reached the level of the heavens, they could not do much.
Mantingan approached the grandfather who at that moment had been trembling violently by fear. Only he escaped the young man.
“Cough, forgive the danger of breaking the rules on this island. It is not necessary that Grandfather bothers to slash the neck of peril, because the danger will soon leave this island by his own will. But before that, it is necessary to know in advance where Datuk keeps the weapons of danger. That's the only thing that Hazards have now.”
Although Mantingan said softly and calmly, the grandfather was smart enough to know that the young man was actually threatening him. Unwilling to take the bad luck, he soon got up from his throne and walked towards a large chest in the corner of the ward.
“Come, Swordsman. I keep all of it here.” The grandfather opened the lid of the crate with his hands shaking violently before allowing the Mantin to pick up his own weapons.
The young man immediately packed everything. Fortunately, a pair of Moon Swords had a holster with a strap, so that he could cross them on his back. While the Sword of Savrinadeya and the Sword of Kiai Kedai he still glorified in his waist belt. So far he had brought four swords at once, a very unusual sight for a swordsman.
The mantan walked towards the exit of the ward, but just before he left the place, the grandfather called back to him.
“Decamp, are you going to leave them in a rigid state like this rock?”
The mantan flicked his palm several times to send a tootokan release, before finally flashed away.

“Munding, to Javadvipa.” MANTINGAN jumped up onto the buffalo's back while giving orders.
Once Munding moaned in a questioning tone.
“No. Chitra Anggini will remain on this island.” Mantingan closed his eyes, unwilling to let his tears be wasted back even if it was just a drop. “We don't have to worry about that woman. Chitra Anggini is still a strong warrior again mighty, he can protect himself.”
Hearing that, Munding did not immediately carry out his orders because he felt very heavy flying himself into space. Although the buffalo was only an animal, but he had intelligence far above average. In addition to having a very high instinct, Munding also has feelings. And right now, his feelings are saying something bad about Chitra Anggini.
“Fly only, Munding. We don't have much time.”
Then Munding Caraka immediately threw himself into high space. Sped at hundreds of times the speed of an eagle. Leaving the island in the middle of the bay.
The man looked back for the last time. There is a sense of regret for not visiting the Chitra Anggini center to just say goodbye words. He felt that doing so would only make him end up in a deep slump. The young man decided to leave. The Koying Unity. Leaving Suvarnadvipa. Leaving everything.
***
The situation in Kotaraja Koying has improved in exactly two weeks since the treason incident. Citizens of Kotaraja chose not to rebel because they felt satisfied with the new policies made by the Dark Lord.
The same thing happened to the small kingdoms under the auspices of the Koying Union. Although the Dark Lord did not reduce the taxes they had to pay, the new ruler added many combat fleets and various other agricultural needs to the kingdoms in an effort to deal with the rainy season.
However, there remain some small kingdoms that think they can take advantage of the circumstances after the treason. They suspected that the atmosphere in the city was still heating up so that the defense would be easily penetrated, so they sent a number of joint forces to the city secretly.
Unfortunately, their movements can be sniffed by the Dark Lord who still controls most of the underground network in Suvarnadvipa. Now he and the high-ranking officers are preparing a strategy to deal with the attack.
Meanwhile, a statue depicting the appearance of Mantingan has officially stood in the Poor Settlement of Kotaraja. The inauguration ceremony was not only attended by all residents who lived in the place, but also thousands of residents from all neighborhoods took the time to see the statue. They heard the bird news that “Young Hero of Awakening” who lifted the Poor Settlement of Kotaraja from the crash was the same person as Hero Man.
Right on that day, Mrs Darkness received a special guest who claimed to come from Javadvipa.
“He came with the team?” ask Mrs Darkness to one of the army generals.
“Only troops contain 200 warriors, Your Majesty. They all cover the face with a white mask and can control the wind.”
Hearing that, Mister Darkness' forehead wrinkled. “Prepare a prompt welcome in the guest ward.”
“Hamba carry out, Your Highness.”
Less than a drink of tea later, the guest ward was ready. Two chairs face each other with a tea table separated. Meanwhile, special-skilled warriors were deployed to maintain the security of the Dark Lord, some appeared blatantly but some were hiding in the shadows.
Mrs Darkness occupies the bench first before the guest arrives. Apparently, the guest was very old with a body that can no longer be called sturdy, so that the Dark Lord can be a little calm. Previously, the woman thought that the guest who came from Javadvipa was one of Tarumanagara's warlords who was interested in breaking up friendship.
“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Your Majesty for accepting such a helpless old man as myself. Daku is Rama, the supreme chairman of the White Wind College, as well as Tarumanagara's representative to chat with Paduka.”
They had a light conversation for a while before the conversation began to enter the core and intent of the meeting.
“Paduka, is there any bird news that Hero Man was involved in that event is the truth?”
Mistress Darkness narrows her eyes. Not directly answer.
“Paduka need not worry, my college is where Hero Man comes from. If you talk to one of the royal advisers, he must have heard about the relationship between Hero Man and White Wind College.”
“Yes. Hero Man is involved in my treason efforts, but that does not mean he is deliberately willing. He I've guessed at certain things.”
Hearing that, Rama rubbed his face. “Paduka trap it?”
The Darkness Master can only nod.
“Is it Your Majesty that such an act has made Hero Man a fugitive of Tarumanagara?”
Hearing that, Miss Darkness was like she had just been struck by lightning. Tarumanagara finally issued a response to Mantingan's actions, and it was not a good response to make the young man a fugitive.
“He is considered to have humiliated the name of Tarumanagara who was about to depart from the martial world. Now, new problems arise between black schools and white schools in Javabhumi. Can Your Majesty imagine that at this time?”
“I only do what I think is good for this country.” Mrs Darkness replied with determination, that she was acting treasonously for the good of the country of Koying.
Rama shook his head many times before handing over a piece of palm oil to the Dark Lord. “In this throw, Tarumanagara has officially severed all friendly relations with Koying, including in trade. Your Majesty, I fear Javadvipa will invade the sea of Koying to master the silk path.”
Mrs Darkness received the letter with an indescribable face, just as it was the judge's decision to punish her with a head.
“Now, I have to find Hero Man as soon as possible if I don't want the White Wind College to accept Tarumanagara's wrath. Life or death.”
