Chapter 61 Up


There are 3 people guarding the border gate to climb to Mount Baturetno. Some of the people in front were being examined by the people who served as the caretaker. Most of them are traders who will send goods to Padhepokan or villages around the foot of the mountain. Sudiro shows the identity board to be able to enter the examination gate, but it is Wisanggeni's turn, the young man is dismissed for inspection.


"Ki Sanak, this boy is my friend. Does my identity board not apply to him either?" Sudiro immediately walked to the back, he intended to nego the guards.


"Sorry Ki Sanak, you've brought that one woman with your identity board. One board can only pass one person. What exactly is your purpose for ascending to the top of Mount Baturetno?" ask the guard full of questions.


"We are from the family of the merchant Ki Sanak. I intend to see how the needs of the people who live around Mount Baturetno, so that I can help to meet their needs." Wisanggeni steadily answered the question from the guard.


Atmojo codes Sudiro, and the man responds immediately. His hand took out a few gold coins from inside his storage box.


"Ki Sanak.., did you see any suspicious signs from my brother? No, not even a small weapon of tajampun you also did not find it. Come on..,!" Sudiro played the gold coin in his hand. Seeing the gold coin, the guards eyes immediately sparkled.


"Alright.., all we can talk about Ki Sanak." said the guard who immediately released Wisanggeni, immediately some gold coins moved into the hands of the guard.


Rengganis immediately pulled Wisanggeni's hand, they immediately entered the gate of the foothills of Mount Baturetno. Sudiro walked straight ahead, and when they met the T-junction, Sudiro invited them to take the road to the right.


"I know in that direction there's a little closed padhepokan. Not everyone will be allowed in and out of the area, I'm sure it's the headquarters of Alap-alap." Atmojo gave me some information.


"I will try to get in there, who knows that place is indeed a gathering place for Alap-alap." said Wisanggeni, he felt impatient to get to the top immediately. His longing and concern for Ki Mahesa's fate, makes him want to get certainty soon.


"I don't think we should be rash, because what we're facing this time is not just any enemy. They can come and go without knowing. We have to split up, don't huddle up to get in there." Rengganis expressed his opinion.


"That is what Nimas Rengganis said. We will split up, by entering alone." said Sudiro.


Finally they divided themselves into 2 groups, first Wisanggeni accompanied by Niken Kinanthi will enter first. While Rengganis entered accompanied by Atmojo and Sudiro. After reaching an agreement, Wisanggeni immediately issued a map to be able to enter Mount Baturetno.


"This is the gate for the entrance to the temple, and I'm sure many guards will be assigned there." Atmojo pointed to the map.


"We enter from two sides only, the south side of Wisanggeni and Niken. While me and Rengganis and Sudiro will enter from the north side." Atmojo made arrangements.


After making a deal, they immediately split up. By sneaking around avoiding the guards that were wandering around a lot, they immediately headed for their respective positions.

"Kang Wisang. After they were a little fooled, Akang could jump over the barrier." Niken Kinanthi submitted a proposal to Wisanggeni. They were already several hundred meters away from the perimeter wall.


"How are you Nimas? Aren't you worried that it might end up being captured by them?" ask Wisanggeni. After all as a man, he would not easily see someone sacrifice for him.


"Don't worry too much about Niken. Never mind, just stay here for a second. After hearing the applause from me, Akang tried to jump straight into the wall." Niken Kinanthi convinced the man.


Wisanggeni was silent for a while, he was still doubtful about the words conveyed by Niken Kinanthi. However their relationship in the past, at this time the girl had intended to help him free his father and the elders who were still in the catch of Alap-alap. But upon seeing her, Niken Kinanthi's gaze showed her confidence.


"But you must be careful Nimas. Don't underestimate the power of the Spells, I've seen for myself how they capture and absorb the spirit power of their victims." after sighing, Wisanggeni's heavy heart allowed Niken Kinanthi.


"Believe me Kang Wisang, get ready! Niken would soon walk to where the guards were chatting." finished speaking, Niken Kinanthi immediately left Wisanggeni alone. Boldly, the girl walked up to the guards.


************


Niken Kinanthi raised the lower garment she was wearing slightly above the knee, and removed the top button. She would pretend to be a girl separated from her entourage.


"Excuse me Ki Sanak.., did Ki Sanak see my entourage?" with a contrived soft voice, Niken Kinanthi asked the guard who was playing chess at his guard.


Seeing that there was a beautiful girl with smooth skin in front of them, the guards' eyes became unblinking. The three of them immediately stood up and approached Niken Kinanthi who looked extremely adorable to their eyes.


"What group did Nimas seek, or have they forgotten? Nimas can join us here." said one of the guards as he blinked his eyes.


"Akh Ki Sanak could have asked me to joke" said Niken Kinanthi as his hand pinched the man's waist.


"Yes Nimas.., it is true that Kakang Tunggul said. Just stay here, we'll help to vouch for you. I'm sure your entourage has left this place." said the man's friend.


"What did Ki Sanak really say? Give me a minute to think about it!" Niken Kinanthi instantly showed a look of her sad face, she was silent for a moment. After a while, he clapped his hands softly. Hearing the gesture given by Niken Kinanthi, Wisanggeni immediately jumped behind the wall.


"Did Nimas get an answer?" a guard called by the name of Tunggul. He interprets Niken Kinanthi's applause, as approval to stare in the region.


Exactly what the three guards expected, Niken Kinanthi steadily nodded his head timidly. The eyes of the three guards immediately sparkled, they felt very happy to be able to lure a beautiful woman to stay there.


"Where should I go now, Ki Sanak? It's impossible right, if I have to be with the three of you in this safe house?" asked Niken Kinanthi in a spoiled tone.


"Don't worry about it Nimas. Right now, Nimas can come with me. I have a house that is still empty inside the store." The stump immediately answered Niken Kinanthi's question. Both of his friends nodded their heads.
