Legends of All Time
Chapter 11 - Legends of All Time
"Are you really Charlin's group?" I ask who still does not believe.
I do know almost a myriad of great achievements that they have made, but I never know what they look like and their real names are because their faces and real names have never been published. All we and the world know is the name of the group and the nickname of each of them.
"Didn't you believe it?" ask Om Ludensberg.
"No. .. I just don't understand .. why is it that a group as famous and as good as you asked for our escort" I said.
"Actually we don't need an escort at all" Om Ludensberg said.
"We are strong lo" added Om Morphin.
"We ask that you escort us only as a guide because this is the first time we have visited the State of Tenes" Om Ludensberg continued.
"Oh, so it is, yes," I murmured.
"If that's all, why should we? I mean, there are a lot of groups better than us. After all, this was also our first time coming here," asked Drian.
"That's because we got a direct recommendation from Mr. Branch Chief," replied Om John.
"Head of Branch ...? You mean Mr Warto?" my many.
Pak Warto was the person in charge of the Borneo branch of the Fairy Guild. In other words, he was the head of the Borneo branch.
"Yes, he said that you guys managed to get a perfect score during the entrance test. Your physical tests are even beyond the record you have ever seen" replied Om John.
"He also said that you are the best group and the most efficient group in carrying out the mission. Therefore, we decided to choose you," added Om Lucas.
"Thank you, sir! You are the best!" I thought while imagining the face of Mr. Warto.
I am very happy that Mr. Warto recommended this mission to us. A million gale mission, it was not a cheap mission, at least it was equivalent to an S rank mission.
"In retrospect, it makes sense. What crazy group would want to challenge the Yan Valley except the Charlin Group?" muttered.
"I just remembered too. All members of the Charlin Group are from Sweden. Why didn't we realize it from the beginning, yeah," Angel muttered.
We talked with them near the campfire until late at night.
We asked them what they had been through, and they explained and told them about their experiences in conquering the most extreme regions in all parts of the world.
Satisfied to talk, Om John, Om Lucas, Om Morphin, Om Ludensberg, Om Jerni, and also Angel, they then sleep in their respective tents, as for me and Drian who will be on guard tonight.
"Gilak anyway, Yan ... cave still can't believe we can meet them directly," I said who was sitting near the campfire with Drian.
"Gua also .. initially the cave thought they were just a group of reckless people who want to try, but did not know if they are Charlin group," said Drian.
The night was cold and a little foggy.
When Drian and I were chatting while standing guard in front of the tent, suddenly ...
Cemplung .. tue. cemplung .. cemplung ...
We heard the sound of the river water not far from where we set up our tent. His voice was like a rock thrown into water.
Drian and I looked at each other for a while.
"That's what, Yan?"
"Check sono."
"No. .. You're the sono who checked."
"Lu just ...."
"Lu aja ...."
"Lu ...."
Drian and I continued to argue to determine who should check the votes, but in the end we decided to check them together.
We turned on the flashlight and walked slowly closer to the river.
"Lu napa dah .. nempel mulu kayak cicek," said Drian.
"That's the ultimate trauma cave, Yan," I said, clinging to Drian's back.
"Cih ... very cowardly you are," murmured Drian.
Do you remember the incident I experienced yesterday? Because of that, I was really traumatized by this kind of thing.
I may be able to stand tall without fear in front of the strongest man in the world, but in front of such a person.
Cemplung .. tue. cemplung .. cemplung ...
The same voice continues to be heard.
"Buruan, Yan," I said, still clinging and hiding behind Drian's back.
"Buruan, buruan .. lu aja sono," replied Drian.
Being both afraid, Drian and I walked towards the river very slowly. Our feet felt too heavy to step.
"There's nothing" said Drian.
"Try arahin to get there" I said, pointing in a direction.
Sure enough, when Drian pointed the flashlight in his hand in the direction I asked ...
You know what happened?
Huanjin!
There was a woman in white and long hair who was hit by our spotlights.
The woman was sitting on the bank across the river bowing her head and occasionally throwing rocks nearby into the river.
"That's what, Yan?" My feelings started to feel bad when I saw that figure.
"It's in the woods, isn't it ...?" asked Drian who also looked nervous mixed in fear. His hand even shook to the point of making the flashlight he was holding couldn't stop moving.
You know what happens next?
The woman suddenly raised her face and faced us.
We couldn't see his face because it was covered in hair, but now we can see it clearly.
He looked at us with a big smile, so wide that he made almost all his teeth visible.
Drian and I immediately gulped and pecked for a while when they saw the woman's scary smile.
"Yan, pretty, huh?"
"Beautiful palalu pitak! That's a moron!"
"Ohihihihi!" The woman suddenly laughed gigglingly, still with a wide smile.
"Yahoooooooooo!"
Without a second thought, Drian and I ran at once with both hands raised.
...
Apes is real! The first Malem has met ama that is so. What about the next malem-malem?
Shit ... shit .. if you know it will be gini mah .. the cave will definitely not accept this mission.
...
Next day.
"Forward, Vin, Yan." Angel greeted us while yawning.
Drian and I did not respond at all. We were just pensive with blackened eyes due to lack of sleep mixed with stress.
"What's wrong?" ask Angel.
"No .. no reason," I said, still pensively with blackened eyes due to lack of sleep.
Angel looked astonished when she saw our appearance, but we also did not intend to tell her what we had experienced last night.
The experience was too scary to tell, so scary, we even kept imagining the figure we saw last night every time we closed our eyes.
"Well, are we canceling this mission?" my many.
"One million bego .. one million .. we must endure," Drian replied.
...
In the afternoon, Om John and his group took us to the river to mine gold.
They taught us how to mine gold in the river.
The way is pretty easy. We just dredge the soil on the riverbed using a simple round flat mining tool, then twist it in the water and throw mud, sand, stone, and so on, until the land found gold.
That sounds so easy. In reality it's really hard.
"Where? Dapet didn't?" ask Om John.
"Dapet, Om ... dapet tired," I said.
John smiled and said, "You have to be more patient."
For two hours of mining, Drian and I had not found a single piece of gold. Even though John and his group have got a lot. Either we suck or they are great.
"Gua is so sleepy!" muttered as I continued to twist my mining aid.
"Gua too," replied Drian who was right beside me.
Since last night, we haven't slept at all. We couldn't sleep because every time we closed our eyes, the figure of last night kept on the shadows in our heads.
"Vin, Yan, if you're tired of taking a break!" angel shouted from the river bank.
Angel did not mine gold with us in the middle of the river and just sat on the river bank.
The river is not very deep. Therefore, we can mine in the middle of the river.
"Rest yuk yuk, Yan," I said.
"Corn," replied Drian.
When I wanted to get out of the river, I suddenly stepped on something. It feels like a rock.
"Why, Vin?" ask Drian.
"No idea, Yan," I replied as I reached down, intending to pick up the thing I accidentally stepped on.
Apparently, the thing I accidentally stepped on was a lump of gold the size of a combination of two or maybe three adult fists.
"Yin ... Yan ... this ... this cave is not a misgivings, right? This is really gold what's tai, Yan?" I asked while holding a large golden lump in my hand.
"That's bego gold!" reply Drian.
I then called Om John and his group to see if what I found was really gold or not.
"Well .. you're very lucky. It's really gold" said Om John.
I was full of smiles hearing it.
