Damar Jati threw a gold coin at the coachman, then mentioned a place in the demon city that was their destination. Pandji and Mika had just put their buttocks down when the blade shot as fast as the wind, splitting a street that turned out to be very crowded if seen with unusual eyes.
"This is a special vehicle among the elite and demon nobles, Mas Pandji!" damar Jati said with a slanted grin. Clearly the heirloom spirit Pandji did not want to disappoint his master who came from a noble breed as well as in the human world while exploring the world of darkness.
"I feel like a bride a few centuries ago paraded in a chariot. I didn't think there was a luxury vehicle here despite its shape like this," Mika said admiringly.
Pandji agreed with Mika, he grinned strangely before chiming in, "That amazes me is not his chariot, but it turns out you're quite rich, Damar! You even paid for this trip with gold coins, if it was changed in the form of rupiah .. If you had just a few coins, you could buy anything in the human world!"
"I keep coins for planning this trip from a few centuries ago, I keep them all in the black forest in preparation if possible to return to this world again. Some hunters and demon lords like to be bribed with gold coins." Damar Jati answered Pandji's curiosity bit by bit.
"And as it turns out, when I married Asih and my in-laws were taken to the demon world .. I think it's time to use my wealth now!" Damar reconnects his lines by laughing at the luck that may have happened by accident.
"Where did you get all that, Damar? Did being the devil's adopted son make you rich all of a sudden?" tanya Pandji nosy as well as getting curious about the past of his naive spirit.
"In addition to getting an allowance from the king, I get payment when I finish doing the mission given by the palace. The more difficult and dangerous a mission is, the more gold it will get. In addition ... I also got gold coins from the concubines, princesses of kings and female demons who are crazy about me!" Damar Jati replied casually.
Pandji coughed unhappily at the careless laughter, while Mika looked at Damar Jati with an annoyed expression, like staring at an insaf playboy but still feeling proud of her past. His eyes were fierce as he glanced towards Pandji who actually smiled widely at him.
As it turned out, only spending a few small talk, not even more than Pandji's tea time which usually only lasted ten minutes, the train carrying three passengers stopped in the middle of the city. They come down like tourists who have already visited and do not feel foreign to the circumstances.
Damar suddenly clenched his hands tightly as he came down from the pedati, his eyes circling around to where he used to live. The city that was once the center of battle because the demon lord sent down a thousand knights and hunters to kill him.
His not-so-smooth escape and inflicting a lot of injuries caused Damar to re-burn with emotion while remembering all. The half-demon man would probably find it hard to temper his desire to slaughter and take revenge if the opportunity arose.
"Sendiko, Mas Pandji. My hands are just a little itchy because of past memories." Damar looked in a certain direction, then took Pandji and Mika to go to the place he pointed. An ancient castle that looked haunted and full of mystery from the front.
“What is an underworld prison, Damar?"
"That's the inn, Mas Pandji. We'll wait while we rest there. To open the gate of darkness where Mpu Sapta is located, it is most appropriate at the turn of the guard tomorrow. Because we can't possibly avoid the fight later." Damar Jati replied while making a smile.
"So when's the time?" tanya Pandji pursues a definitive explanation.
"Tomorrow is the day of the wedding celebration of the demon king and the queen, all the knights will be more deployed to guard the palace. We'll move in the night at the party's peak."
Pandji nodded, turning his head towards Mika at a glance to follow Damar Jati's steps with her.
With high curiosity, Pandji was still trying to ask silly questions. "Where do you know if there's a celebration in the palace tomorrow? We haven't even talked to anyone in this place."
Damar looks tired, answering Pandji's questions as if afraid to be heard by his wife. "Actually I had a little chat when I met the demon lady in the black forest, but she was already dead!"
Pandji and Mika opened their mouths together, only one word like sigh came out. "Oh pantesan…."
