The Adventure Of Eric (The Rescue of the Elf Princess)
Chapter 61. The Pain of the Chief of the Tribe Beiduin

“Hah .. You are this!” Eric smiled broadly. His feet stepped in and sat down at Hasheem's waiting table.

The man's hand called for the servant. A traditionally dressed man was coming. “There are other orders, Mister?” tanyakanya.

“Yes. They're my guests. Give them your delicious tea!” said.

“Good, Sir. Please wait a minute.” The waiter went back to his desk and began brewing the fragrant tea tickling his stomach.

Eric took out a few pieces of money from his storage. Two hundred thousand banknotes, laid out on the table.

“Like this our money,” he said.

Hasheem took a piece of money and watched it. He didn't think there was such a money. How much is this?” ask Hasheem astonishment.

“A hundred thousand rupiahs!” answer Eric. Then he also issued coins that were commonly used in the Port City. Two coins were placed on the table as well.

“It can also be used in our place.”

Hasheem again looked closely at the coin with the two-winged emblem. “We have never seen a currency like this.”

“That's why I refused tea. A few days ago, we ended up unlucky because our money is not recognized here.” Eric explained.

“Alright .. I'll save this money. Tea it was me who paid it.” Hasheem commented a big smile. Before long the waiting tea had come and was served at the table.

“So you said, if you came to this place through a wall of light. I didn't know there was another wall of light in our country,” Hasheem said full of inquires.

“As we said. We are the Tribe of Light. And if we pass through one wall of light, then we can't go back the same way again. The wall we passed by was often not even visible anymore. It's like he disappeared. So we had to find another wall of light that could be seen in the land we came to. It was a wall to enter, not a wall to come!” Dimas explained at length.

Hasheem and Asad were silent looking at them.

“I think you explained it too long. He doesn't understand,” said Eric.

“I see your point!” Hasheem raised his hand and nodded.

“So, you guys have tried to get in there?” ask Robert.

“It wasn't intentional. My uncle was chasing our sheep that ran away and lost quite a lot in the grazing fields. I also chased the sheep that ran in one direction. In front of our eyes, the sheep just disappeared. Unfortunately, my uncle stopped his run too late. He had already reached that place and was lost with the sheep!” Hasheem glared, recalling the incident.

“I said what I saw. My father forbade us from herding sheep in that place again. Then the tribe members mark the place with stones, so that no one else accidentally passes through it and goes missing.”

“When did you experience it?” ask Hakon.

“When I was a kid. But that experience can never be forgotten. Since then my uncle has never returned.”

“If your uncle wants to come back, then he has to find another wall. Although he would not necessarily arrive in exactly the same land. We've just passed through some walls of light. However, our destination city is still a mystery!”  Robert chimed.

“That's difficult?” asad gumam.

“Indeed that hard. So I don't advise you to try to enter it. Because the place that was behind it, it could have been a terrible place. Because we have also experienced it several times, explained Robert.

When all the members of the Beiduin tribe had finished their business and returned and sat down for tea, the atmosphere became more crowded. Before long they walked towards the city gate.

“We don't have horses like them,” Hakon said through his mind.

“If there is a chance, we should take out our horse,” said Eric. With that plan, Hakon, Dimas and Arjun walk behind Eric and Robert. They let the Beiduin tribe members walk first. After passing through the gate, everyone had already guided the reins of each horse.

“Ah, I didn't know that you guys have horses,” Hasheem said.

“These horses were too tired earlier. So we paid someone with a little food to take care of these horses,” explained Robert.

“Good then. Our journey will be faster. Let's leave!” he said giving aba-aba. Other members of the Beiduin tribe were seen to be obedient to his orders.

Horses are being pulled down to run in the sand that still feels hot on the feet. Smoke and dust flew behind the group. The horses kept running. Eric and his team do not want to lose about competing horse speed. Although rarely used, but the horses are wild horses on their farms.

Dusk soon approached, But the star and crescent moon in the sky, quite successfully made them continue to run until the horses exhausted themselves. The group stopped in the middle of the desert. Far from the springs, far from any other city.

“Are you not afraid of caravan robbers operating at night?” ask Robert.

“The ones following the troupe of times are the ones who are still fighting. That's why we don't feel the need

“I understand.” Robert's sahut.

Hakon, Arjun and Eric are holding their own tents. It can be used by all five of them. All the members of the caravan instantly rested after enjoying dinner.

In the middle of the night, the roar consisting of three tents became very noisy. They talk to people, like they're out of sense.

“What's up?” eric asked someone who looked busy cleaning up the tent they had previously occupied.

“Hasheem received an emergency message via postal delivery bird,” the person said.

“What is the letter about, if you may know? We might be able to help.”

“The tribal chief has been sick for a long time. A message was sent to search for Haseem, telling him to go home!” said the man.

“We're coming!” Eric decided quickly.

“We also have a Doctor here,” Robert said as quickly as lightning.

“What is a doctor?” Hasheem chimed in on their conversation.

“Sort of healers, if in your place” explained Robert again.

“Then, try checking my father later,” command Hasheem.

“Good, I'll check later. Now we depend on speed, to be late to hear his will. All members of the group immediately cleared the tent. They

Before dawn, the group was already running again in the sand. Throwing horses like a man of infidelity. They must arrive immediately at the hamlet of the Beiduin Tribe.

Eric saw the eastern sky was starting to light up. The horse Hasheem was running. “Are we still far away?” he shouted to be heard by Hasheem.

“Perhaps when the sun rises, our new village looks!” Hasheem shouted, beating the roar of the galloping horse legs.

“You are very worried. I can get you home faster, if you want!” Eric shouted for help.

“How to? Horses can die if driven excessively!” yell Hasheem again.

“As long as you don't do us any harm later. I'll take you home in five minutes!” shouting Eric.

“I think you're going crazy from the heat!” Hasheem further crushed his horse and left Eric behind.

“I'll take him home first. You guys be careful,” Eric's message in Robert's head.

“Dok, try to get your horse to fly without being seen. You should get there as soon as possible!” eric's Message.

“Good!” sahut Dimas's.

After that, Eric throws his horse faster and chases Hasheem.

“I'm sorry!” shouting Eric.

“What?” Hasheem doesn't understand.

Eric snatched Hasheem's horse. Make both their horses fly low on the surface of the sand. So low, that it's invisible to the eye that they're actually flying.

“What are you doing?” Haseem could tell the difference between riding that made his body shake, with something he did not understand. The horse feels light.

“I brought you home early to see your father!” reply Eric with a shout as well.

“Is that in front of your city?” put Eric in front of them.

“Yes, that's my city!” Hasheem was really surprised. How fast did Eric make his horse run? He took it backwards. His tribe members are no longer visible. They must be behind the sand dunes in the back.

“Are you some kind of ghost?”
