The Fire Dragon Sword
The Land of the Gods
Ki Ageng could not cover his shock. He could hardly believe what Wulan sari said. For several days he always discussed with Wulan Sari but this time the words of Wulan sari were unacceptable.
"So the elder meant that the possible existence of the Earth Energy Book was in the Land of the Gods?". Wulan sari nodded slowly. That was the information he had obtained from the few Red Lotus members he had spread out.
"Isn't the Land of the Gods just a legend? A fairy tale created by irresponsible people. There had never even been a true person who had been there" Ki Ageng still could not believe that the Land of the Gods really existed in this world.
Wulan Sari smiled slightly "Do you know where we got the Immortal Dark Seal from?". Ki Ageng shook his head slowly. He only knew that the moves came from the Red Lotus Group.
"My teacher once said that our ancestors were not warriors. We are just a lively group of traders who are always moving away. Then unintentionally our ancestors found their way to the Land of the Gods. It was there that they gained the Power and the science of Canuragan. Eventually they formed a group called the Red Lotus". Ki Ageng scrunched his forehead.
"Even if I don't know the story is true or not, but we Red Lotus Group strongly believe that the Land of the Gods really exists in this world. We call it the Dieng Plateau. A place that our ancestors described as a place that was always shrouded in thick fog. Unfortunately our Ancestor never told us where the Dieng Plateau must be".
Ki Ageng was seen thinking for a moment, he had indeed heard of the Dieng Plateau. A place that has always been the goal of warriors. To his knowledge, no one had ever found the place.
"Your teacher wants this kid to look for Dieng's whereabouts and study the Earth Energy Book. After all it was his destiny to bear a heavy burden on his shoulders. Likes to dislike him having to bear the burden both as a Swordsman and Heir to the throne of Malwageni".
"So you already know the identity of this child?". Wulan sari nodded with a smile. "There is no information that the Red Lotus cannot get. He has a responsibility to all Malwageni people who have been oppressed by Majasari". Ki Ageng fell silent, he agreed with what Wulan sari said. Only he did not think that Sabrang would have to bear this burden when he was so young.
Ki Ageng looked at Sabrang who was lying before him "All decisions are in his hands. I'm just his teacher even though this kid I consider my own grandson. From the beginning I have been very aware of the burden on his responsibility as heir to the Malwageni throne. I will support all his decisions".
Wulan sari nodded "After she realized I asked for your permission to take her to the Ilang Sukma Valley. I will teach him the science of the Red Lotus. I hope to be able to help him as long as we have not found the solution of uniting the Fire Dragon Sword and the Eternal Fire Book".
"Are you sure you're going to teach the Red Lotus science to an outsider?" Ki Ageng asked slowly.
"The old man casually invited me to bet on this boy". Wulan sari chuckled along with the smile that adorned the lips of ki Ageng. Ki Ageng stood up and bowed to Wulan Sari "Thank you the elder already cares about the prince".

Wijaya stepped away leaving the White Eagle Padepokan. Sometimes he turned his head to look at the place where he practiced kanuragan science for almost 9 years. It was never imagined in his mind to leave the place he had considered his home. But he had to go fulfill his promise to Arya dwipa. Wijaya down the forest to the palace Malwageni with the mind drifting.
"It has been 9 years since then, the Prince should have grown up. Are the noble queen and the prince okay? I have to hurry" Wijaya hastened her footsteps, she wants to immediately ascertain the state of the Queen and Prince Sabrang.
"Hey you!! Take off your headgear and mask and then put your luggage on the table". One of the guard soldiers rebuked Wijaya. Wijaya looked back and then took off his mask and hat. All of his luggage was checked one by one. Wijaya looked around, the atmosphere of the capital Malwageni was much different from the time before the Majasari attack.
"What's wrong with your face?" One of the guards asked.
"I fell while hunting" Wijaya lowered her head, she did not want to risk being recognized by the guards.
"Come in, you've finished the examination" Wijaya nodded and stepped away leaving the checkpoint.
" I must immediately find the great Teak Inn to rest and devise a plan".
Vijaya's steps stopped at an inn, he looked at the signboard of the inn in front of him. The atmosphere of the afternoon was very crowded.
"Sir, can we help you? did you tell me a room to stay?" A female servant greeted Wijaya.
"Ah right lady I need a room to stay tonight". The waiter nodded and invited Wijaya into the inn.
"Sir wants to rest or eat first?" ask the waiter politely. "Looks like I need to rest immediately, please just deliver the best food and wine to my room".
"Okay sir, please follow me" The waiter pointed out the location of Wijaya's room.
"Miss I want to ask for your help, can I meet with the master of Literature Wijaya?". suddenly the step of the servant stopped. He looked towards Gundala.
"Literary Master is not in place. Is there anything I can help you with?".
Wijaya shook his head softly "Please tell the Literature master if someone from the White Eagle Sect is looking for him. I'll wait for him in the room".
"Okay, sir, I'll pass it to the master of literature". The girl's footsteps stopped in a large room. "We've arrived sir, have a good rest". The maid handed the room key to Wijaya and then stepped away.
