" Welcome to Senopati in Madiun, how is the news in Pajang," Patih Haryo Winangun told Raka Senggani after the two met.

" Both Kanjeng Patih, this is a letter from Kanjeng Adipati to Kanjeng Patih" replied Raka Senggani.

The young man thrust a bunch of palm leaves and gave it to the Patih Madiun.

Patih Haryo Winangun received her and then read the contents of the letter.

The bolt on Patih's face in Madiun was delighted and then closed it, saying,

" Is it true that Senopati Brastha Abipraya was a warrior of the Demak cipher,?" ask Raka Senggani.

" True Kanjeng Patih, although unofficial, this is a servant badge as a demak warrior," said Raka Senggani.

The young man reached out from behind his shirt and handed a badge given by Tumenggung Bahu Reksa to Patih Haryo Winangun.

Back Patih Madiun looked carefully at the badge given by Raka Senggani.

" Well, Senopati Brastha Abipraya we received in Madiun to face the Demon Mask, and easily menduas Maha Raya gave ease to overcome this problem," explained Patih Haryo Winangun again.

" Easy - mase Kanjeng Patih," replied Raka Senggani.

Then Patih Haryo Winangun provides food and drink to Senopati Brastha Abipraya.

While eating the dish Raka Senggani asked the Patih,

" If according to the servant Madiun should also ask for help from the Slope Wilis Padepokan, because Mpu Phedet Pundirangan is a fairly broad insight and knowledge, Kanjeng Patih," said Raka Senggani.

" We did think so, but we are still waiting for the messenger from Demak, and because Senopati himself asked for it we should ask for help also to the Slope Wilis Padepokan," answer Patih Winangun.

" Later afternoon we face Kanjeng Adipati, we also ask for his opinion, and maybe he will be very happy for the presence of Anakmas Senopati," said Patih Waningyun again.

" It's up to Kanjeng Patih, we just follow orders from Kanjeng Patih, " explained Raka Senggani.

Hose after rest for a moment in Dalem Kepatihan, when the day has begun towards the afternoon Raka Senggani with accompanied by Patih Haryo Winangun overlooking the Duke of Madiun in the palace.

" Please forgive Kanjeng Gusti Adipati, the servant of Patih Haryo Winangun, facing," said Patih Madiun while holding his hands together on his head.

" Hehh, what's Kakang Patih facing, ?" asked the Duke of Madiun to Patih Haryo Winangun.

" The servant brought a messenger Kotaraja Demak to face Kanjeng Gusti Adipati in return for Kanjeng Adipati's request to Kotaraja Demak to send a Senopati to overcome the problems caused by the Demon Mask,!'' patih Haryo Winangun.

" Is this the man, is he,?" asked the Duke of Madiun by pointing towards Raka Senggani.

" True Kanjeng Gusti Adipati, He is the envoy of the Duchy of Pajang requested by Kotaraja Demak to help the problem in Madiun, !" patih Haryo Winangun's.

" What's your name, ?'' ask the Duke to Raka Senggani.

" Pardon the servant of Kanjeng Gusti Adipati, the servant is Senopati Brastha Abipraya is Senopati from Pajang and is also a warrior codenamed Demak, I was ordered by Kanjeng Adipati Pajang to come here according to the request of Kanjeng Adipati Madiun, !" raka Senggani.

" Already know the problem of Senopati Brastha Abipraya,?" ask the Duke to Raka Senggani.

" Dalem Kanjeng Adipati, I have learned of him" replied Raka Senggani.

" The enemy this time that Senopati must face is the frightening specter in Madiun, therefore, we really hope for you Senopati Brastha Abipraya to be able to overcome it" said the Duke again.

" In case you can use the Madiun warriors to help you including Uncle Patih, he will be ready to help to take down the Demon Mask, other than I have issued a contest, he said, I, as the ruler of Madiun, command you Senopati Brastha Abipraya, Capture the life or death of the Demon Mask, I do not want that name still on Madiun's earth," the Duke of Madiun loudly.

" Her servant Kanjeng Adipati, Senopati Brastha Abipraya immediately carried out all the orders of Gusti Adipati," replied Raka Senggani.

" Good, brother Patih Winangun immediately explained who really is the Demon Mask," said the Duke of Madiun.

" Slave Kanjeng Adipati, " said Patih Haryo Winangun while making a salute to the Duke.

" This Senopati Brastha Abipraya, The Demon Mask in addition to having high knowledge also has the following characteristics, " explained Patih Haryo Winangun while breathing.

Only then did he continue his words again,

" He was of great stature wearing a long robe and often came out at night, the target of his in addition to the houses of the people he also often satronize the ward where storage of goods - goods priced from a good duchy palace in Madiun also in Ponorogo, Ponorogo, so the target is not just a treasure, wesi aji and heirloom of high value was also the target," Patih Haryo Winangun said again.

" Pardon Kanjeng Adipati and Kanjeng Patih, so where will we trace the trail of the Demon Mask,?" ask Raka Senggani.

" Maybe we'll just wait here, please, soon of course he will come back here considering some time ago although he managed to defeat the Prince of Stage but he has not got what he was looking for, so we think of course he will repeat it to come here,!'' patih Haryo Winangun's.

" I'm sorry before her, Kanjeng Adipati and Kanjeng Patih, before the servant arrived at Madiun's, the servant had accidentally met with the Demon Mask at Kebon Sari Academy,, he managed to defeat Ki Demang and one of the Swordsman who was hired there, even the Demon Mask managed to burn the banjar Kademangan Kebon Sari until it was gone without any rest" said Raka Senggani.

" So Senopati Brastha Abipraya had met her at Kebon Sari's academy, what about that Demon Mask, did he not manage to capture Senopati,?" asked the Duke of Madiun curiously.

" Unfortunately for Kanjeng Adipati, I have not managed to catch him even though he has been injured inside, he still had time to escape to the east, " explained Raka Senggani.

" So how's Patih's brother, are we going to wait or are we going to find him,?" ask the Duke to Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Slave has not been able to decide , Kanjeng Adipati, if we hunt him in fear that he will come here, but if he stays silent, he will likely target other places,!'' patih Haryo Winangun's.

" What do you think Senopati Brastha Abipraya,,?" ask the Duke to Raka Senggani.

" Please forgive me before Kanjeng Adipati, maybe Madiun can ask Mpu Phedet Pundirangan on Wilis Slope to help overcome this problem, if he is willing, if he is willing, of course the motion of the Demon Mask is getting narrower, and it will be easier to catch," said Raka Senggani.

" Does Kakang Patih agree with this proposal from Senopati Brastha Abipraya,?" asked the Duke of Madiun to Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Slave strongly agreed Kanjeng Adipati, indeed before his we had discussed this with Tumenggung Warabaya, it was not so we carried it out because it was still waiting for the envoy from Kotaraja Demak, because at this time the emissary from Demak who proposed it we would be happy to ask for help to the Wilis Slope, Kanjeng Adipati," replied Patih Haryo Winangun.

" But Mpu Phedet Pundirangan is not an easy person to ask for his help, he is very difficult to be invited to cooperate especially with Madiun, therefore it is better, it is, Kakang Patih himself who came there, hopefully he feels appreciated and wants to help us," concluded the Duke of Madiun.

" If so let the servant and Tumenggung Warabaya and Senopati Brastha Abipraya who will go there, to persuade him to want to overcome the problem of the Demon Mask, and we both beg to say goodbye to the Duke Kanjeng," patih Haryo Winangun said as she put her hands together in a respectful manner.

Likewise with Raka Senggani, both of them came out from inside the palace.

Patih Haryo Winangun and Raka Senggani immediately returned to the training palace.

" Good Kanjeng Patih" replied the soldier.

Immediately the guard soldiers of the training palace walked towards the residence of Tumenggung Warabaya.

While Patih Haryo Winangun and Raka Senggani entered the training palace.

" How will Kanjeng Patih, when will we leave for Mount Wilis,?" raka Senggani asked Patih Haryo Winangun.

" We wait first Tumenggung Warabaya, we ask his opinion,!" patih Haryo Winangun.

Not long ago, Tumenggung Warabaya arrived at the duchy of Madiun.

" What's Kanjeng Patih calling me,?" tanya Tumenggung Warabaya's

" Sit down first, Tumenggung, introduce this is Senopati Brastha Abipraya from Pajang ordered by Kotaraja Demak to help Madiun face the Demon Mask,!" patih Haryo Winangun.

While sitting Tumenggung Warabaya noticed Raka Senggani from top to bottom, Tumenggung Warabaya as if he did not believe in the ability of Senopati Pajang.

" Is Pajang not wrong to send his emissaries,?" tanya Tumenggung Warabaya to Patih Haryo Winangun.

" What do you mean, Tumenggung,?" replace Patih Haryo Winangun who asked.

Tumenggung Warabaya fell silent, there was a sense of guilt in him that somewhat underestimated Raka Senggani in front of him directly.

" It is not so, but whether there are no older Senopati in Pajang and Demak, I mean old in everything, especially in terms of science," explained Tumenggung Warabaya.

" You know Warabaya, Senopati Brastha Abipraya has succeeded in defeating the Demon Mask in Kebon Sari, unfortunately he still managed to escape," said Patih Haryo Winangun.

Back Tumenggung Warabaya was shocked, as if he did not believe the talk from Patih Madiun.

Seeing that, in order to reduce the unestablished feelings of Raka Senggani, Patih Haryo Winangun switched his conversation, and,

" I am not calling you to question the messenger of Demak but I want to ask your consideration about , should we also ask the Slope of Wilis Padepokan to hasten the capture of the Demon Mask,?" ask Patih Haryo Winangun.

" If I think we should indeed ask for help from the Slope Wilis padepokan, instead of anything, this problem must be resolved immediately," replied Tumenggung Warabaya.

" Has this issue been discussed with Kanjeng Adipati,?" tanya Tumenggung Warabaya's.

" He already knew and agreed to the proposal, now when are we going to be there, then,?" patih Haryo Winangun.

" Kanjeng Patih, the faster the better, maybe tomorrow morning we can leave,!" tumenggung Warabaya .

" Okay, get the three-man shortlisted soldier, we're leaving tomorrow morning,!" patih Haryo Winangun.

" Anyway, the order of Kanjeng Patih is ready to be done, and I beg you to leave" Tumenggung Warabaya told Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Please, tomorrow morning we leave here,!" patih Haryo Winangun's.

After the departure of Tumenggung Warabaya, Patih Haryo Winangun invited Raka Senggani to chat.

" Pardon the attitude of Tumenggung Warabaya, actually his heart is good but his nature likes to be frank and often judge people from outside him, Senopati Brastha Abipraya, again his attitude is please forgive," patih Haryo Winangun's.

" It doesn't matter Kanjeng Patih, don't think too much, I'm used to accepting this, Kanjeng Patih said I was still young so this could have happened and was not too problematic for my servant, Kanjeng Patih" replied Raka Senggani.

" I think Senopati Brastha Abipraya better stay here overnight, besides there is a lot to talk about I want to get to know the Senopati children better" said Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Servant Kanjeng Patih, to better familiarize better Kanjeng Patih call the name alone, do not use the attributes of the army, the name of the servant Raka Senggani," said Raka Senggani.

" Similarly, anakmas Senggani, do not need to call Kanjeng Patih, call it Uncle Patih, to be more familiar," said Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Good Uncle Patih" said Raka Senggani.

That night Raka Senggani spent the night in the duchy of Madiun.

The two men chatted until late at night, when the fist pitched with heartburn then the two rested and slept.

The next morning when he was ready, six horses came out of the Palace heading east.

The six horsemen were Patih Haryo Winangun, on his right was Raka Senggani and on his left was Tumenggung Warabaya, while behind them were three lurah Madiun Duchy soldiers.

The six horsemen were seen racing their horses quickly, when the sun had unscrewed the sixth skin of his arrived at the Dungus academy, and they continued their journey towards the kademangan kagok

Patih'Haryo Winangun's entourage arrived at the Kagok academy, when it was late in the evening.

They rested in the academy looks crowded and continued to the village of Watu umpang, only the next day they continued their journey up the Wilis Slope to meet Mpu Phedet Pundirangan.

And finally the six men arrived at the slopes of Wilis after passing noon.

Patih Haryo Winangun's entourage was received by the main student of the Wilis Slope Padepokan named Arya Pinarak.

" Pardon Kanjeng Patih in advance, the teacher has not been able to meet maybe tomorrow just want to meet guests" said Arya Pinarak.

" It's okay, let us wait until tomorrow, " replied Patih Haryo Winangun.

" Please Kanjeng Patih, please restrained, Adi Rajungan deliver this group to his room," exclaimed Arya Pinarak to one of the putut of the Wilis Slope.

" Let's go ahead Kanjeng Patih, " Ki Rajungan told Patih Haryo Winangun.

Then the company was led to where they restrained.

Before the rest of Raka Senggani still had time to pay attention to the activities of the cantrik in the slopes of Wilis, especially in terms of making weapons.

Raka Senggani saw many types of weapons of the type of keris, sword and machete made there, which was rather surprising after he saw the type of small knives, scattered in that place.

Raka Senggani took a long time to notice. Only then did he follow Patih Madiun's entourage.
