Sanggana 6 Agreements Muara Jerit
Examiner 54: The Forest of Eternal Night

*Evenue String Agreement (Traffic)*

Ten years ago, the Eternal Night Forest was a wilderness base that was always dark, both during the day, especially at night. The number of large trees with a very dense hoard, to the point of blocking the sunlight into the. That condition is what makes the forest familiarly called the Eternal Night Forest, as if there is no time of day in the forest.

After the leader of the forest robbers was subdued by two empresses of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom, then began to build settlements, so that a duchy was built with only two villages, namely the Night Village and the Eternal Village.

As a wood-rich forest region, the Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest continued to build so that it transformed into a wooden urban center in the middle of the forest after ten years.

The more magnificent the development in the Night Village and Eternal Village, now the two villages owned have been referred to as cities, namely the Night City and the Eternal City. Thus, the Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest transformed into a wooden city in the middle of the forest that still maintained its greatness and authenticity.

The Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest is directly adjacent to the Walangan Kingdom and the Fatara Lake.

Flat road access has been built, connecting the Walangan Kingdom and the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom. The horse carriage and the pedati can pass comfortably.

Almost one hundred percent of the buildings in the Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest were made of wood, except that they had to be stone elements, like a huge furnace.

The buildings in both cities have a neatly arranged position. It was the result of the work of Empress Yuo Kai who doubles as Minister of State Administration. The Empress of Jang Country adopted many city models in her country, as she did to create a neatly arranged capital of Sanggara.

If the capital city of Sanggara uses a lot of stone materials combined with wood, then the Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest is almost all wood.

The Duchy of the Eternal Night Forest is now led by an official named Babat Seta, a typical man with narrow eyes.

The Duke of Babat Seta has today the arrival of six guests who came with one pedati and four horse mounts. The men, who were all tied with white ribbons, carried a white flag and only had a black dot in the middle as another color. The guests were none other than the people of the Cross World Sender who brought Joko Calm's pottery coffee, who requested that the coffee be sent to the Eternal Night Forest.

“My name is Kelingking Twins. We are from the bureau of the World Transmitter from the city of Digdaya the Kingdom of Sand Sky. Delivering coffee purchased by Pendekar Joko Tenang,” said the leader of the group introduced himself when meeting with Duke Babat Seta. He has twin little hands.

“Oh. Your arrival will be reported to Pendekar Joko Calm,” said Duke Babat Seta, who had previously received a message from Prabu Dira about the people of the Cross World Sender.

The duke then sent an envoy to the Palace to announce the arrival of a shipment of coffee that had a brand of badarkopi.

There was no cable phone or cell phone at that time, making the delivery of messages last a long time. The personnel of the World Transmitter was provided a comfortable resting house while waiting for the arrival of Joko Calm. Not only was it enough to rest, but they also still had time to enjoy the atmosphere of the neat surroundings and pass the night.

Apparently, Joko Calm just came in the morning. He came to meet the Duke of Babat Seta with the appearance of a king with Empress Yuo Kai and the guards to taste, such as the Riskaya and the Swordsman of the Flower Guards. Joko Calmly dressed and beperhiasan more modest.

The Kelingking Twins and their five companions were quite surprised when called facing. It turned out that they were called to face a king who was none other than Joko Calm whom they had previously known as a swordsman. The six of them were really amazed by the greatness and authority of Joko Tenang aka Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana.

“Have you been briefed by your lord, Kelingking Twins?” joko asked Calmly that morning.

“Already, Gusti Prabu,” replied Kelingking Twins with full gesture of humility.

“After this is your business with the Duke. Later you will see the wood that you will bring to the Duchy of Ombak Lelap, so that when the time comes, the wood is closer to the beach. Every time you leave here, buy me coffee from Finance Minister Badaragi,” said Prabu Dira.

“Good, Gusti Prabu,” says Kelingking Twins. “Maybe we have to make the water route in order to get closer to the destination area. Also had to make a large cart in order to easily transport the logs on the mainland.”

“No problem. You set the route and the necessary vehicles. Don't worry about payment,” said Prabu Dira.

“I have an army of warriors named Sanggana Ghost Army. The troops I originally called came to the Sky Sand Kingdom, so they were in the middle of the journey. However, I pull heading here to join you and help you during the transportation of wood,” said Prabu Dira.

“Good, Gusti. However, what if this wooden shipment is known by the forces of the Sky Sand Kingdom?” ask the Kelingking Twins.

“I know it has become your risk and responsibility. That is what your chief has told you. But don't worry, one of the goals of joining Sanggana Ghost Force is to secure the shipment to keep it secret and safe,” said Prabu Dira.

“Good, Gusti,” says Kelingking Twins.

“The Duchy of Ombak Lelap will immediately give permission, you will not wait long,” said Prabu Dira optimistically. It seems that he has already devised a plan against the ruler of the Duchy of Ombak Lelap, which is where Segadis Beach is located.

After the meeting, Prabu Dira went into the forest, where there was a forest area that was mostly overgrown by sonokeling wood trees, which became one of the main assets of the Eternal Night Forest.

Like a head of state, Prabu Dira made a number of visits. Mumpung was in the duchy, Prabu Dira invited his empress to go visit the production house of carvings and wooden statues in the Eternal City headed by Loyak Bata, a friend of the alma mater with the Duke of Babat Seta.

The two men were both former employees of Ririn Salawi nicknamed Penagih Nyawa, who now rose to the rank of Commander of the Sky in the Kingdom of Lesser Sanggana.

“We have new art results in the last three full moons, Gusti Prabu,” said Loyak Bata who has a thick beard. He gave a code to one of the crafters.

The coded crafters immediately picked up a piece of their work placed on a thick sheet of board.

“These are carved statues that symbolize Gusti Ratu and Gusti Empress,” said Loyak Bata. “We are currently getting many special orders of this type statue to various neighboring kingdom regions.”

Prabu Dira and Empress Yuo Kai quite gasped at the small statues as thick as a grip, which stood on a plank mat held by one of the crafters. All statues have only one color, which is gold paint.

The small wooden statues are in the form of beautiful women, although beautiful is only an assumption because it is a statue.

“Hahaha! It's like the Empress Wolf. He held a small stick,” said Prabu Dira while laughing and pointed to one of the female statues that resembled the stature of Empress Sandaria aka Empress Wolf.

“Sorry, Gusti Prabu. It was indeed a statue that symbolized Gusti Empress Wolf,” said Loyak Bata.

“I which one?” ask Empress Yuo Kai.

“Sorry, Gusti Empress. This one.” Loyak Bata pointed to one of the statues that had a different type of clothing.

“Yes, that's you, honey. See, his eyes were made narrow,” said Joko Calm while mangosteen. “This short hair is definitely the Empress of Heart Eyes.”

“True, Gusti Prabu,” Reply Loyak Bata.

“Then where is my fault?” ask Prabu Dira.

“Please excuse me, Gusti. Nothing,” replied Loyak Bata with a smile. (BH)
