A WASTED KNIGHT
Get lost
Meanwhile after dawn in the Dragon Inn
jinyiwei soldiers came to report to Ma jIngtao.
“Soldiers how did you manage to get the messenger
Majapahit it?”
“General Ma, all night I have been following the passing of the Messenger
Majapahit it, but when I tried to free him it turned out he was already
go awayl. I tried to chase him but his movements were so fast that I
can't catch up with him. Though he was injured and poisoned but he was still able to escape so
fast,” said the Soldier.
Ma Jingtao was stunned
“Where does he run?” Ask Ma Jingtao.
“He ran westward, I'm afraid he'll get lost in
gobi Desert,” replied the soldier.
“He will not stand the harsh desert climate
without sufficient supplies,” Chen Nie commented.
“Then we have to leave soon after him
before he was too long in the desert. We're leaving right now!” word
Ma Jingtao's.
When they were about to depart, in their inn yard
meet with Tamaz's entourage who will be looking for Wiraksara.
“It looks like they're going to meet that Persian priest. We
just tell them, pity if they think Wiraksara is still together
they,” Chen Nie said
Ma Jingtao met Tamaz's entourage and asked
“Master, are you guys going to look for that Majapahit guy?”
Tamaz frowned in astonishment
“Where did you guys know?”
Last night we saw your quarrel, that night we too
stay at Dragon Inn. Our
see everything that's going on there. I have sent my men
following the Persian priest's entourage. Last we received a report that the Envoy
The Majapahit has escaped,” Ma Jingtao said.
Tamaz looked surprised
“There's no way he can escape, that guy is
in a very severe poisoning state.”
Ma jingtao nodded
“True he was poisoned but in fact he has been
managed to escape. I'm afraid he doesn't know about the terrain on the spot
these. Without a guide and enough supplies he could die in the middle of the Desert
Gobi because he does not know this area,” said Ma Jingtao.
“Does anyone know which way he went?” Ask Tamaz.
“She ran towards West.”
“We'll go back to Persia, if he's westbound, if he's,
means he is in line with us,” said Tamaz.
“Master, who exactly are you? I know, you're not
an ordinary merchant. You have a high silat science and it seems
have a complicated relationship with the Persian priest's side,” Ma Jingtao said
Tamaz sighed and started to tell stories
“We are the priests of the Temple of Fire, the Persian priest
yesterday it was Mehrak, he was a treacherous evil priest. Some
years ago before he escaped from the Temple, he had stolen the Azura Jewel
Mahda symbol of Kahyangan Temple Fire which was sacred for centuries. Finally
we managed to reclaim the gem but Mehrak managed to catch up to us
get here. So that they do not suspect we are disguised as traders .”
Ma Jingtao smiled happily his guess was correct
“My guess is right, we are an army from the kingdom that
commissioned by the Yongle Emperor to find the Majapahit Envoy and bring him
back before summer comes.”
Tamaz looked surprised at Ma Jingtao's statement
“Is he a dangerous fugitive criminal?”
“Oh no he is not a fugitive but he is a guest
our state was kidnapped by the rebels. We should be able to take him
return to China before the summer arrives because at that time the Royal Representative
Majapahit will come to visit,” Ma Jingtao replied.
Ma Jingtao's reply made Tamaz a little calm
“Ooh, I thought he was a dangerous criminal. If he
a criminal, I've been guilty of saving him. That night we
found him lying on the side of the road in a state of severe injuries and poisoning and
everyone else,” said Tamaz in a concerned tone.

Meanwhile, in the morning, Mehrak's entourage realizes that
their hostage disappears, Mehrak is enraged to realize his hostage has gone missing.
“How did he escape? But I gave it to him
poison that weakens his muscles! Now we're missing the chance to get
back Azura Mahda gems and ransom money!”
His men no one dared to look at him, all
feeling guilty mixed with fear.
“Even the Chairman, we are guilty of negligent guarding him,
but now the most important thing is that we should be able to reclaim the gem
Azura Mahda's. Now also we will go chasing Tamaz troupe,” said
one of his followers.
“You are leaving now looking for traces of that gem!”
Mehrak's orders.
Mehrak's forces then also began to move westward
looking for that jewel.

The sun was starting to rise, Wiraksara began to feel the heat of the air
in the desert that is getting stinging. His throat was starting to feel dry. Her mouth
start to scream
“Air...air where can I find it? This place just
there is only sand,” complained Wiraksara.
Suddenly in front of him was a lake with its water
clear blue tease. Wiraksara was happy to find a lake in
the heat of the sun in the Gobi desert. Without wasting any time he immediately
he ran to the lake and jumped into it.
But what happened was, instead of getting into the water, Wiraksara fell
slumped in the sand, his face covered in sand.
“Buaaah, brash, my eyes fooled, this is not a lake!” exclaims
Wiraksara was annoyed while spewing sand that entered his mouth.
Wiraksara turned out to only see mirages, reflections of light
the sun falling on the sand makes an illusion like water. Wiraksara
feeling his body getting weaker, his chest felt tight. Wiraksara collapsed after
walk a few steps.
A few moments later, several people passed near the location
Wiraksara fainted, some people in between
they immediately ran towards Wiraksara's body
“He's alive, Master, we'd better take him home
collegiate. Pity if left here.”
But his other friend denied it
“Don't, what if it turns out he's the one who
evil?”
An old man stepped closer to Wiraksara
“We will help him, lest he die of drought in
this place. Do not like to be bad. I don't think he's a bad guy, though,
take him with us!” His orders to his followers.
*****
Wiraksara felt his body ache but felt tightness
in his chest had disappeared. Repeatedly on the pat and pinched the skin
his body to make sure that he is not dreaming
Where am I now? Have I been in heaven? Wiraksara.
Soon the door of his room opened and a man came in
the old man who immediately exclaimed happily saw Wiraksara muttering.
“Alhamdulillah, you finally realized, we found you
lying in the desert due to drought. Here I bring you water.”
Wiraksara slowly woke up, the parents took water from the
teapot and pour it into the cup
“Drink this, drink a lot of water yes, later my son will
bringing you food.
“Thank you Sir, what's your name? Ask Wiraksara.
“Call me Uncle Hamzah,” he said.
Soon the door of the room opened and a man entered
the girl carries a tray filled with food. Wiraksara looked up but she was surprised
when I saw the girl's face. He felt very familiar with his face.
It seems I've seen his face but I forgot where
I saw it, Wiraksara thought.
