The Fire Dragon Sword
Knight of Pepper Knife II
"Your highness, that's the guy who spoke to me yesterday" pointed Emmy at an old man who was eating alone in the corner of the room.
"So he whose inner energy I felt yesterday" Sabrang murmured as he looked at Lamhot.
"So what are you going to do?" ask Emmy curiously.
"I already know where the Sinabung mountain is, we will leave after knowing the grandfather's purpose" Sabrang stepped closer to Lamhot.
"Ah, welcome young master, I've already ordered food for the two of you," Lamhot said politely as Sabrang and Emmy stood before him.
"Grandfather is really great, how do you know I'm going to accept this offer?" saluting Sabrang politely, he saluted before sitting in front of Lamhot.
"You're too much young master, I'm just guessing because I think our goals are the same so it would be better if we cooperate" Lamhot said with a smile.
"Our goals are the same?" sabrang Fishing.
Lamhot stopped his meal, he stared at Sabrang long enough before speaking.
"I don't know what your purpose is to target the Temple Warrior and we should not know each other's purpose. Right now our enemies are the same, isn't that enough to cooperate?"
"Sorry kek, I came just to investigate them first and at this time I do not consider anyone as my enemy" Sabrang replied slowly.
"Right now you might be able to talk like that, but Arkantara under Saragi will try to take control of Nuswantoro and sooner or later they will attack Malwageni, do you still not consider them enemies?" Lamhot smiled meaningfully.
Sabrang's face changed immediately after Lamhot mentioned Malwageni's name.
"So grandpa knew? who's grandpa really?" Sabrang was still trying to calm down.
"My name is Lamhot, as I said earlier we should not know the purpose of each," Lamhot replied slowly.
"Sorry kek, I'm not used to working with people who hide things from me. Emmy, we'd better go, I'll investigate the matter myself" Sabrang got up from his seat.
"In the past, long before the science of canuragan appeared in the martial world, this land was dubbed as the holy land of Gods," Lamhot said arrived.
"Holy Land of Gods? is it possible that the Waton Gropak civilization...?" Sabrang sat back down.
"The Gropak Waton is one of the few tribes that once inhabited the sacred land of gods, it is according to the story my grandfather told me," Lamhot replied.
"So from here they come" Emmy said in his heart.
"It is not without reason that this place is dubbed the holy land of Gods, there is an ancient book hidden under the Lake of prohibition or better known as Sidihoni. The book that our ancestors believed was the curse book was called the Sabdo Lodge.
"Our ancestors strictly forbid to touch the book because if until the Sabdo Lodge appears in the martial world it is believed there will be chaos and anger. We ended up forming ten guardian knights to prevent anyone from entering the forbidden lake and I was the twentyth descendant of one of the Sidihoni guardian Knights.
"However, one day a merchant from the Jawata mainland came to this place. After hearing the story about the existence of the ancient book he quietly entered the forbidden lake and stole the Sabdo Lodge, the young man named Mandala Rakyan," Lamhot continued.
"The Book of Sabdo Loji is from here?" ask Emmy not to believe it.
"True miss, the book that is said to be the center of all canuragan science, war science and science that finally appeared in the martial world because of the greed of Mandala Rakyan," Lamhot replied quickly.
"So it has something to do with the holy temple and the book?" emmy said slowly while thinking.
"When Mandala Rakyan came to this place to trade she was not alone. He came with a little boy named Agam Argani and the name of the head of the Arkantara sacred temple team is also Agam Argani. Do you think this is a coincidence?" ask Lamhot.
"Do you think they are the same person? but how is it possible, hasn't it been so long?" sahut Sabrang's.
"Sabdo Lodge is called a curse book because according to the stories of our ancestors who had read the book there are many forbidden techniques against nature including immortality. I believe Mandala and Agam studied the book before being killed on Menoreh Hill.
All is still an estimate but I started to be sure when I heard they were collecting Mustika Merah Pomegranate. According to the story, Mustika Energy can make a person's body immortal if used with one of the studies in the Sabdo Lodge and I'm afraid they are trying to revive the Mandala" Lamhot replied.
Emmy took a deep breath, she began to understand the problems that the end of this happened including the destruction of the Deep Forest Tribe.
"So all the problems that occur in the martial world including the emergence of Lakeswara and Masalembo are the effects of the book Sabdo Lodge" said Emmy slowly.
"As my ancestors said, the book would only bring disaster if it appeared and it has been seen since the science of canuragan began to be studied. Mutual kill, suspicion and great ambition will destroy this world slowly."
"In addition to the same enemy, it seems we also have the same goal," Emmy began to tell his purpose after getting permission from Sabrang including the discovery of the book Sabdo Loji.
"Wire, they're starting to execute the plan, they're going to, the book was deliberately put by them to be found so that chaos in the martial world again occurred so as to make it easier for the Holy Temple troops to quietly collect all the red mustika pomegranate. Then what are you going to do to investigate them?" asked Lamhot curiously.
"My job is to investigate the connection of the Holy Temple with the book of Sabdo Lodge and the reason they slaughtered the Deep Forest Tribe first before devising the next plan. We cannot act rashly because it concerns two great empires that will ignite a great war" Emmy replied softly.
Lamhot seemed to nod in understanding, he realized that until there was a great war between Malwageni and Arkantara then many innocent victims would be killed.
"So you're going back to Malwageni first? I hope we can continue to work together to stop them and I will wait here while observing their movements. Please call me back to Arkantara" Lamhot said.
"No cake, there is still one place we want to go before returning" replied Sabrang.
"One place?" asked Lamhot curiously.
"Mount Sinabung, I have to meet someone who according to news he lives on the top of the mountain" Sabrang replied.
"Sinabungs? are you sure you will go to a place that even the Holy Temple army avoids?"
"I have to go there cake, I have something to ask about one of the moves I'm learning" Sabrang replied quickly.
"I really didn't advise you to come to that place, young master. Besides being guarded by the knife knights of Tumbuk Lada, it is said that the hermit's temperament was very bad. Several times I tried to meet him for help stopping the holy temple troops but to no avail. The science of the knights guarding the mountain sinabung is very high" Lamhot warned.

"Your majesty, are you sure you're going up that mountain?" ask Emmy after cleaning up all the stuff in the room.
"This is my teacher's message and I have to carry it out" Sabrang replied softly.
"But what about the mountain guard knight that master Lamhot told me about?"
"Their job is to guard the mountain, if we come well well I'm sure they will welcome us" Sabrang replied gently.
Emmy just nodded slowly, still looking worried on his face even though Sabrang tried to calm him down.
"We should leave now, I don't want to get to the mountain at night because it will be very dangerous" Sabrang said as he stepped out of the room.

After walking for almost a day they arrived at the foot of Mount Sinabung and immediately greeted by a beautiful but frightening lake. Emmy's face changed instantly as a strange aura began to be felt.
In addition to that aura, the frightening impression was increasingly felt because the condition of the forest with tall trees was very humid as if sunlight was unable to penetrate the foot of Mount Sinabung.
Not only did Sabrang not feel the frightening aura, his instincts immediately warned that coming to the place was not a wise choice but he tried to hide it from Emmy and act ordinary.
"Your majesty, this aura?" emmy said arriving.
"Relax, does not every mountain we have visited have its own mystery? " sabrang replied quietly, his eyes continuing to comb around him while walking heartily.
After climbing long enough, the pungent smell of sulfur began to smell. Sabrang then decided to take a break and make a fireplace as the day started at night.
"Would we spend the night here, it would be very dangerous to continue the journey in the dark," Sabrang began to clean the surrounding area and make a fireplace.
The howling of the wolves that were at each other made Emmy's fur stand up, as if the wolves were warning them not to go up any further.
Emmy is not just once climbing a mountain, dozens of mountains in Celebes he has climbed but somehow this time his feelings are different. There was something that did not know anything to continue to disturb his feelings since he was at the foot of the mountain. The light rain that began to fall added to the tense atmosphere of the night.
Sabrang who chose to meditate near the fireplace looked different this time, his right hand seemed to be grasping an ice knife as if it was ready to attack something.
"There is someone watching us" said the Fire Dragon.
"I know the Fire Dragons, but I can't feel where they're hiding. Eve their presence is very weak as if it does not have kanuragan science," replied Sabrang slowly.
Sabrang continued to sharpen his five senses, he even occasionally used the eyes of the moon to search for an existence that since at the foot of the mountain was watching him.
"Anom, if something strikes you, your job is to protect Emmy, it's hard to fight in the dark while protecting her."
"Okay son" Anom answered quickly.
"What's really on this mountain, the aura is much more terrifying than the mountain I've been to," Sabrang suddenly opened his eyes when he sensed that something was moving closer, he used the eyes of the moon to detect that aura that had disappeared again.
"I'm sure there's a fast moving energy approaching me, how could it suddenly disappear?"
"You boy!" anom shouted as a knife shot out from behind.
Sabrang instantly formed an ice wall to fend off the blade but what happened next left Sabrang shocked. The blade easily pierced through the ice wall as if it was hitting the leaves.
"Damn it, what knife can penetrate the ice wall easily" Sabrang said.
The little knife would have penetrated Sabrang's body had he not used the technique of stopping time at the last moment which gave him time to dodge.
"Your Majesty!" yell Emmy worried.
"Far away!! they are not random warriors" cried Sabrang.
Ten people in all-black clothes appeared to arrive with knives in both hands. Sabrang stared at them vigilantly, he could feel a huge aura overflowing from the bodies of those mysterious warriors.
"Are they the ten knights of the pepper mashed blade?" sabrang was amazed.
"Whoever you are and the destination is on this mountain you better hurry! I don't want to increase the number of human bones in this sacred mountain" shouted one of them.
"I'm sorry if I interrupt but I didn't come with hostility, I just wanted to ask for a hint from the ascetic elder at the top of the mountain," Sabrang replied politely but did not let down the slightest bit of his vigilance.
"Are you deaf? whatever your goal is to get off this mountain, the elder doesn't want to meet anyone" replied the swordsman quickly.
Sabrang took a deep breath, it seemed like he indeed could not ride well either.
"Sorry sir, I really need to see him."
"I've warned you, don't blame us if we act rudely" the swordsman gave another sign to prepare to attack.
"Anom, protect Emmy, it seems like this time it will be a little harder" Sabrang said in his mind as he raised the Fire Dragon sword in his hand.
"Devil fire?" the swordsman looked surprised when he saw the flames begin to envelop Sabrang's body.
"So that legendary fire demon has chosen its master? interestingly," the swordsman moved in attack followed by nine other warriors.
"The knife again" Sabrang welcomed Wahtu Tama's skyscraper sword attack.

The color of the water in Lake Sidihoni is said to change to red if there is a tragedy or important event that occurs in Indonesia. No one knows for sure when this lake was formed. Some say it has existed since the 1800s, some say the emergence of this lake along with the formation of Samosir Island about 73 to 75 thousand years ago.
Not just an ordinary lake, there is one of the mysteries of this lake that has not been revealed.
There is one of the mysteries and wonders in Lake Sidihoni, in the dry season, logically the water recedes, but in Lake Sidihoni the water level rises even the amount of water is abundant. On the contrary, it is precisely in the rainy season that the water recedes.
