Early in the morning, Candaka left the inn intending to go to Ki Wicaksono's Forest Lodge. He chose the morning that was still dark because he was worried that his dream would come true, but hope was just hope. As soon as he left the inn, he was immediately confronted by a group of bandits who had ganged up on him before.
"Hey dirty young man, you are called Boss ...!!!" exclaimed one of the bandits whose face was bearded
"Don't fight then you will be safe!" he continued.
An intention arises to use the style that Bram just taught him, but his intention is abandoned because Candaka is also curious to find out who the boss of these bandits is, who really wants to meet him.
Candaka followed the group of bandits to a luxurious building in this village. The yard with a fish pond and beautiful garden makes Candaka feel that he is not entering the house of the bandit boss.
The Beard continued to walk towards the living room of this building. From a distance, a figure dressed in black could be seen, but this figure covered most of his face so that he could not be recognized. But from her appearance Candaka guessed that the figure of this bandit boss was a woman.
His suspicions came true the moment this boss started reprimanding him. "Are you the one named Candaka, who is reportedly looking for your uncle Syailendra?"
"You know where your uncle is now?" asked this woman again.
"What connection do you have, madam asking about my uncle?" asked Candaka politely.
Unexpectedly, this bandit boss was even angry with him. "Don't call me madam, I'm not that old...!!!"
"Then what should I call you, while Madam's face is completely covered," continued Candaka, not wanting to be outdone.
"Madam again ... Madam again ... I told you not to call me Madam!" the bandit boss's voice was getting higher and higher, making the Beard retreat in fear.
"So what should I call madam?" asked Candaka again. He didn't care about the anger of this bandit boss because he felt it was right to call this woman Madam.
"Grrrrr.... call me Dear, Sister, Miss, or whatever as long as it's not Mrs or Madam ... Are you understood?" This time the bandit boss was really angry, making Candaka who was calm before feel a little nervous.
"Yes Miss, I'll just assume you're younger so you won't get angry anymore," answered Candaka after feeling calm again.
The Bandit Boss calmed down a bit after Candaka didn't call her Madam anymore. "I asked earlier, do you know where your uncle is?"
Candaka is very annoyed with the treatment of this jerk Miss. But he knew that anger would not solve his problems, it could even harm him.
"I'm also looking for my uncle, so I still don't know where he is?" he said.
“Your uncle owes this clan and has not been paid. I've called the old man here to pay off his son's debt but he refuses to come. Hufffhh…” annoyed this bandit boss.
“What did you say? My uncle is Ki Wicaksono's son?" asked Candaka full of surprise. Why didn't Ki Wicaksono tell him when he found out he was looking for his uncle.
"So pity of you ...." mocked the bandit boss.
“It turns out that you were lied to by that old geezer. Hmmmnn ... How about you just cooperate with me?” she offered.
"I don't want to work with criminals like you. Cuiiihhh!!!” Candaka, who felt lied to, got even angrier.
"Why are you angry with me. You should be mad at that old man. I've been kind enough to offer you a job!” Take it easy, this bandit boss responds to Candaka's anger.
"If you don't want to work with me, then go there and find the old man and tell him to bring his son here to pay off the debt!!!"
The Bandit Boss waved his hand as a sign of ordering his men to take Candaka out of the room.
While walking quickly towards Ki Wicaksono's forest hut, Candaka kept thinking, why are so many problems befalling him? He just wanted to find his uncle following his mother's last message, but what he encountered instead were various kinds of complicated problems for his life."I have to go back to Hut to ask for an explanation from Ki Wicaksono about all this," he said to himself.Different from before when she easily entered the hut in the forest, this time Candaka got lost in the forest and didn't find Ki Wicaksono's hut. The forests seemed alive because as soon as he entered the path in the forest, the trees behind him blocked the previous entrance.Suddenly there was a flash of shadow pulling his hand while shouting, "Come on, hold my hand as tightly as possible if you don't want to be swallowed up by this forest."Candaka, who was still in a confused situation, followed the shadow's suggestion because he started to feel something was wrong with this forest. "Who are you?" he sh
Candaka is still curious about what happened earlier. He clearly saw the Dark Mist approaching him but as he was pulled away by the red dragon's shadow, he didn't see any Black Mist chasing him all the way to the Inn. Besides, why wasn't the dragon shadow afraid of being swallowed up by the Black Mist?He briefly remembered his dream, earlier wasn't he entering the same black forest as the one in his dream? Why did the previously beautiful and green forest turn into a black forest as soon as he entered it. Even though he feels that many strange things have happened to him while he is in this village, Candaka does not give up trying to find out all the answers to the mysteries in this village.“Everything is a mystery in this village. The people also have secrets that do not want to be disclosed. Not to mention that the areas around this village are terrifying and unacceptable to reason," Candaka's thoughts made him even more dizzy and tired.Without him realizing it as soon as his bod
After breakfast at the inn, Candaka rushed to the Dragon Palm Institute looking for Isyana. He also wanted to ask Isyana for help to take him to Ki Wicaksono's Forest Lodge because if he went alone he would get lost again in the scary Black Forest.The Dragon Palm Institute students seemed to be training hard when Candaka arrived there. Even though it was still early in the morning, the activities at this university were very busy. He didn't see Bram but there was a middle-aged man who looked dignified giving instructions to the prospective martial arts experts.This man is the owner of Dragon Palm Institute named Bagaskara Mukti who is also the father of Brahmana and Isyana. Bagaskara is the richest person in Black Mist Village so he is highly respected by the villagers. There are also rumors that Bagaskara is also a Dragon Warrior but he has never denied or confirmed this. The Dragon Style that he taught at his university were said to be the development of the Dragon Style he had. B
Isyana still remembers her meeting with this dirty but funny man while smiling while watching Candaka leave the Dragon Palm Institute. At first he just wanted to play this innocent man for fun but after a while a feeling arose in his heart and started to like this young man for who he is. "How can I like him?" he said to himself while his face was red."Isyana ...!!!!" a thunderous scream broke his reverie."Yes Mom ...!" his answer was no less long than the screams of Asmawati."Where have you been all day ... Mom has been looking for you. How come girls are wandering around like that?” Asmawati grumbled as soon as she saw Isyana approach her."Where was that beggar from, how come you are so kind to him?" asked his mother"Aaahh Mom ... That's not a beggar Mom ... That's your future son-in-law ... hihihi ..." joked Isyana."You, hufh ... Can you be a little serious ... Being scolded is even weird, it's not clear," Asmawati started tweaking her daughter's ears."Auch ... It's hurts Mo
What exactly is Ki Wicaksono so worried about that he has to immediately find out Candaka's whereabouts? What mysteries only this grandfather knows that no one else knows?To answer this question we return to events 50 years ago. At that time Ki Wicaksono was still a rich young man named Satria Wicaksono. This young man was very handsome and became the dream of every woman at that time. There is no woman who does not know herself and hopes to become his wife someday.Satria knows he is a candidate for Dragon Warrior when he is still in the capital which is also his birthplace. Satria's father is a royal official who has an important position in the royal court, so Satria grows into a man who is arrogant and likes to make fun of women who like him.At that time, the Kingdom of Kamandaria was led by a wise queen named Ratu Kumaladewi. Even though he ruled with an iron fist, during his reign, Kamandaria became a formidable Kingdom both militarily and agrarianly.What's unique is that Kum
The Forbidden Forest is indeed very famous for its awesomeness from ancient times until now. The trees in this forest all turn black when night falls, that's why this forest is sometimes also called the Black Forest. There is no longer the beauty of the green leaves from the trees, there are only trees that look like dead trees but actually these trees come alive when night comes.Like what happened to Candaka before, these trees can live and move to crush anyone who tries to enter this forest. Apart from that, the tendrils of tree roots also live at night, moving throughout the forest to guard what is at the northern end of the forest.This forest is actually beautiful in the morning with its shady trees and a cool breeze hitting your face freshly. The safe limit of this forest is only up to the boundary of Ki Wicaksono's hut, because if you head north of the forest it is said that there are exotic creatures that have not been destroyed when the Blue Dragon Warrior eradicated them th
Gayatri watched Isyana leave in a hurry after she told her the false news that the girl had been summoned by her grandfather. Her only goal is to keep Isyana away from the dirty young man she brought to the hut because she has a need to meet him. He would not be free to ask about her needs if Isyana was near the young man."Was it wrong for me to lie to Sis Isyana?" she said to herself. “But I need that young man to know the whereabouts of my father who has been missing for a long time. Grandfather also did not want to tell about father. Always evasive when asked by me, whether my father has died or not, I also don't know. I also have the right to know where dad is actually?"While her brain was thinking, Gayatri headed to the bandit base where Candaka was supposedly there. There are so many guards watching this base that even flies can't get in because they guard this building with such care and discipline.But this is not the case for Gayatri. She had extraordinary lightening skills
The man continued to run away from the forest and easily pulled Gayatri to take her farther and farther away from this forest until he reached the forest entrance to the Black Mist Village. Slowly he lowered Gayatri to the grass and stared at this girl's face for a long time. While Gayatri angrily tries to struggle to break free. "Watch out for you, if I let go I'll kill you.. !!" she promised in her heart.The man looked calm facing Gayatri who was thrashing around. "I will open the knots on your body, but promise you won't attack me. I will explain why I did all this," he said slowly.Gayatri is also curious about this man's will. She was grateful that this man had saved her from the rampage of the Forbidden Forest, but her way made her feel humiliated by this mysterious man.She nodded her head in agreement with the man's terms. "When I am free, I'll beat him up so he knows the taste..!!!" she said to herself.Without any suspicion, this man then opened the full-blooded knot on Gay
