The name of the Frog Valley Hermit had already become a legend throughout the kingdom. Even the King himself would never disturb the place. Moreover, it is said, ascetics have followers from the demon world.
The Kings who once ruled, no one dared to deliberately patronize the Valley of Frogs in search of masalaah. In fact, if you dare, then no one can go home alive.
Inside the enemy camp, there was one incident that astonished the soldiers greatly. Every morning, a soldier dies. The number reached dozens of soldiers. And it's been reported to the warlord.
"It doesn't make sense, it must be from our enemies. I'll make a calculation with them later!" The Warlord of a foreign nation.
"Master Commander, it seems like this is not the work of the enemy, there is something strange about this valley. We seem to be dealing with a very powerful and invisible person." A soldier's high ranking.
"Call Hulu Saomi!" Shouted Commander.
"Good, Master!" Answer one of the guards.
The guard soldiers directly left from in front of the commander. Just a few minutes later, the bodyguards came followed by a middle-aged man with long white hair with a thick mustache also in white.
"I'm facing the Commander! Is there something I should do?" Ask Hulu Saomi.
"Really! You are an expert in magical things. According to reports, our soldiers were killed by a demon. Is that acceptable?" The commander named Jung Saka.
He himself is still not sure. I feel that it is the enemy's doing.
"Your Majesty the Commander, it's true. I saw unusual scars on the soldiers who died. They are like being exposed to the poison of living beings. But I need to investigate." Answer Hulu Saomi.

"Carmen, do you think, is it true that the frog valley is inhabited by supernatural beings? Why are they so afraid of the man he said was the hermit?" Diana asked as the two of them headed towards the Frog Valley.
Diana was curious about the hermit who according to the story that the Kings of the Archipelago also did not dare to disturb him.
"Why are you so curious? Shouldn't we be harassing him, too?" Ask Karmen.
"Let's know, I feel like something weird is pushing me to go look for him. I'll go there myself, you just drive me up there. Tell Rangga, the Princes and the Generals that I will meet the mighty hermit. I'll be right back." Answer Diana.
Karmen is shocked when Diana turns out to be meeting a powerful hermit. He did not expect it at all.
"I'm coming with you!" Karmen. He would certainly not leave Diana alone.
"No! You should go back. This may be very dangerous. I want to go alone." Diana Sahut. Karmen still insisted on wanting to come along. Diana insisted and banned him.
"Calm down, I'll pay you back as soon as possible. Make sure all the soldiers can master all the new weapons. The generals I chose, tell them that I trust them. Don't let the princes act if not with my consent. You should be able to help me." Diana continued.
Both have reached a downhill road. They stop the horse and finally Karmen returns alone. Diana continued on her journey. The day had already begun to day, however, when Diana started to enter the valley, a chill suddenly pierced her skin.
Though the sun should have made the air hot, but this is strange. It is the cold that feels. Diana moved her horse not too fast. Diana was also astonished by her horse, as if she did not feel afraid and seemed to have recognized this place.
The horse knows the way. Seeing the valley getting narrower and narrower and only a few narrow rock crevices, but the horse was able to pass through and find the best way.
About half an hour later, Diana found a vast field like a land without trees. Seen as far as the eye can see, only small pebbles stick to the ground.
Diana's horse suddenly turned to the right. Diana saw that there was a shady tree. The tree is very large even if it is visible from far away. Diana's curious.
