The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Fifth Wife

Mmmmmm..

"But why are the creatures that come out so creepy, Maharesi? Is this black magic?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

Hearing the question, Maharesi Padmanaba smiled widely. He knew the Panji Tejo Laksono would definitely ask him.

"Chanda Bhirawa is a white scholar, Duke of Seloageng. He was created from a tribe of giants who were fused into a hair of Lord Shiva. As an embodiment of the tribe of giants, of course his form will be creepy like that, Duke Seloageng.

I got it after years of asceticism on Mount Mahameru. Batara Shiva himself who bestowed this study on me, as a gift for my loyalty adored him.

Before I explain it further, let's go to Adipati Seloageng", Maharesi Padmanaba pointed to the edge of the field precisely on some large flat stones suitable for resting because they are under shady trees. Panji Tejo Laksono nodded and the three immediately rushed towards the direction the hermit intended.

After arriving at the intended spot, the three immediately sat on a large flat stone to continue the conversation.

"Please continue, Maharesi Padmanaba. I am still curious about the Ajian Chanda Bhirawa you have", Panji Tejo Laksono said as soon as they sat down together.

"This ultimate test is the culmination of all canuragan science. When the owner wants to ask Chanda Bhirawa for help, the little white giants will appear. And as you know for yourself, that they're not just gonna die. One was killed, two showed up. Two killed, four created. So next. No matter what your science, you will not win when you have put all the ultimate study and energy in you, right?

But the owner must have a clean heart, regardless of the envy of each other. Nor should it be arrogant, be fair to everyone and should not be arbitrary to others.

And one more efficacy Ajian Chanda Bhirawa that makes me tormented at this time", Maharesi Padmanaba sighed heavily while looking at the handsome face of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"What is Maharesi?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"This test will make the owner unable to die if not by his own will. Therefore I will bequeath this Ajian Chanda Bhirawa to you, Duke of Seloageng.

You are the incarnation of Lord Kamajaya, so you should continue to care for Ajian Chanda Bhirawa", Maharesi Padmanaba smiled staring at Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Wait for the Maharesi..

If Eyang sent Ajian Chanda Bhirawa to this Prince Panji Tejo Laksono, it means that Eyang Maharesi will die?", cut off Dyah Kirana immediately. There was an unwilling tone of voice in the words of that beautiful woman in white.

"This is the destiny line set by the gods, my grandson. Your eyes are already enjoying enough worldliness. It is time to live in the realm of eternity. So you don't have to be sad.

Duke Seloageng,

After you received Ajian Chanda Bhirawa from me, I asked that you marry my beloved granddaughter Dyah Kirana. This is the dharma form of devotion of a disciple to his teacher that I ask of you. After all, you also have to keep your promise, right?", Maharesi Padmanaba turned his eyes to Panji Tejo Laksono who was still sitting cross-legged in front of him.

"I will keep my promise to you, Maharesi Padmanaba. You can trust my words" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he nodded in understanding.

"Alright then, Duke of Seloageng. In addition to me dropping Ajian Chanda Bhirawa on you, I will also lower Ajian Kitiran Sewu.

With Ajian Kitiran Sewu, you can summon a gale of thunderstorms, lightning and flash floods that can drown a woman with just one move. Be wise in using all this knowledge of power, Prince Panji Tejo Laksono. As the incarnation of Lord Kamajaya, you will appease the world with love and compassion.

Now be prepared to receive two sciences of excellence from me" said Maharesi Padmanaba immediately.

Hearing the orders of the Maharesi Padmanaba, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately clasped his hands in front of his chest. His eyes closed tightly, emptying all five senses. Arrange the airway and blood pulse to be in line with creativity and karsa.

Maharesi Padmanaba immediately chanted Ajian Kitiran Sewu. The mouth of the old hermit from the Mahameru Mountain Hermit was seen kamit reciting a spell. Not long after, a bright blue light was created in the palm of the long-bearded sage. Then he put his hand on the crown of the head of the Panji Tejo Laksono.

The stinging hot air mixed with cold bone piercing immediately spread to all parts of the body of Panji Tejo Laksono. The air around the seat turns hot and cold, alternating rapidly. Dyah Kirana must also stay away from where Eyangnya and Panji Tejo Laksono are located.

Panji Tejo Laksono's body trembled violently as Ajian Kitiran Sewu began to fuse with his body. After being tormented long enough finally Maharesi Padmanaba released his palm from the crown of the head of Panji Tejo Laksono after Ajian Kitiran Sewu entered perfectly into the body of this Seloageng Duke. Sweat soaks the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Duke of Seloageng, Ajian Kitiran Sewu has penetrated into your body.

Are you still willing to accept Ajian Chanda Bhirawa from me? Or do we need to rest for a moment?", asked Maharesi Padmanaba immediately.

"I am still able, Maharesi Padmanaba", replied Panji Tejo Laksono, nodding his head with his eyes closed tightly.

"Good, it's not in vain that I choose you to be Ajian Chanda Bhirawa's container.

Now be prepared to accept him, Duke of Seloageng", said Maharesi Padmanaba with a big smile. The old hermit's mouth returned to kamit reciting the mantra. A blink of an eye later, a blinding white light appeared on the old hermit's right palm.

Once Ajian Chanda Bhirawa was perfect, Maharesi Padmanaba immediately put his palm back into the crown of Panji Tejo Laksono's head. The cold felt so agonizing Panji Tejo Laksono as the blinding white light spread throughout his body. Panji Tejo Laksono to a great shiver resisted the cold as if to freeze every inch of his body. Cold sweat began to pour from the forehead of this young prince from Kadiri.

After Ajian Chanda Bhirawa finished entering the body of Panji Tejo Laksono, Maharesi Padmanaba immediately sat cross-legged in front of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Open your eyes, Duke of Seloageng. You already have two of my skills" said Maharesi Padmanaba immediately. Panji Tejo Laksono obediently opened his eyes. Dyah Kirana also immediately rushed towards them because she saw something changed in the Maharesi Padmanaba.

"Eyang, your body.", Dyah Kirana could not continue his words when he saw the body of Maharesi Padmanaba began to disappear. The tears of the beautiful girl in white clothes began to flow down her cheeks.

"It's okay, my grandson. It's my own wish so you don't have to be sad.

I leave my grandson Dyah Kirana to you as a trust that you must keep for the rest of your life. Take care of him, love him as much as me and his father love him. If you have time, look at the Mahameru Mountain Hermitage. Ranukumbolo my son would love to meet you. See you later in the realm of eternity", after saying so, Maharesi Padmanaba disappeared from the sight of Panji Tejo Laksono and Dyah Kirana. He's heading to Swargaloka.

The banner of Tejo Laksono immediately worshiped where the Maharesi Padmanaba disappeared and said, "Congratulations Maharesi Padmanaba. I'll keep my promise to you".

Dyah Kirana continued to cry as she pleased while staring at where the Maharesi Padmanaba disappeared. Seeing that, Panji Tejo Laksono who did not have the heart, immediately approached him and embraced the tiny body of the beautiful woman in white clothes.

"That's it, Kirana ..

This has all become a divine destiny. You don't have to cry about your departure. Let him calm down in the realm of eternity", entertain Panji Tejo Laksono while stroking Dyah Kirana's head which is now bowed to his chest.

"But Gusti Prince, what about my fate in the future?", asked Dyah Kirana while continuing to tear.

"You don't have to worry about that. As I promised your sister, I will make you my wife.

But you also have to understand that I was married before, so you have to accept this fact and get along well with my other wives. Can you accept it?", Panji Tejo Laksono raised Dyah Kirana's head and wiped away the remaining tears that drenched the beautiful woman's cheeks. Their eyes clashed for a while.

"I don't mind Gusti Prince. But will your other wives also approve of my presence, Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono?

I was afraid that my presence would bring trouble to your life" Dyah Kirana said as she lowered her gaze again. There was concern in the voice of Resi Ranukumbolo's daughter from Mount Mahameru's Hermitage.

"That problem you don't need to think about. I will give them understanding. So you take it easy" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

Dyah Kirana immediately smiled widely while nodding deeply as a sign of approval from her over the words of Panji Tejo Laksono just now. He had already fallen in love with Panji Tejo Laksono at first sight.

The two immediately rushed out of the place. A moment before they left, though, Dyah Kirana looked towards the place where Maharesi Padmanaba disappeared and then she turned her eyes following the steps of the Duke of Seloageng towards the Hermitage Ranja which was about 2 thousand spears away from that place. They continued to walk across the forest-splitting path west of Wanua Ranja which is now increasingly crowded after the Ranja Hermit is open to anyone who wants to visit.

Birds chirping on the branches of trees that thrive on the right left of the path as if welcoming the arrival of the beautiful Dyah Kirana. They seemed to be happy with the presence of the beautiful woman who was considered as a drop of Goddess Kamaratih by the residents around Mount Mahameru Hermitage.

Once out of the forest, a pair of farmers who had just returned from farming in the fields passed by them. Seeing the arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono and Dyah Kirana, the two middle-aged people immediately respect the Panji Tejo Laksono because they recognize the clothes worn by the ruler of the Duchy of Seloageng.

"Worship us, Gusti...

Is it true that we are dealing with Gusti Pangeran Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono, the new Duke of Seloageng Duchy?", asked the male farmer politely.

"You're not wrong, kid..

I am Panji Tejo Laksono, the new Duke of Seloageng. What do you need to stop me?", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled faintly as he looked at the two of them.

"This is Gusti Prince Duke, the daughter of the servant has already disappeared from the house for two days. Several other girls in Wanua Ranja also suffered the same fate. People say, there are subtle beings who haunt the girls to be made as victims of the fall of demonic science.

Lurah Wanua Ranja, Mpu Anggada has reported this incident to Pakuwon Bedander for help, but until now there has been no follow-up. Help us, Gusti Prince Duke. Narmi is the only slave girl. If he is not helped, the servant's life must be destroyed" reported the farmer while kneeling before the Panji Tejo Laksono.

Mmmmmm..

"How could there be such an incident? Akuwu Sindupati is completely negligent in carrying out his duties.

Take us to your Lurah residence. I'll talk to him", Panji Tejo Laksono ordered the two peasants.

The two soon paid tribute to Panji Tejo Laksono and Dyah Kirana. Soon after, the two of them pointed the way towards the residence of Mpu Anggada, Lurah Wanua Ranja. After walking for a long time, they arrived in front of a large house located in the middle of a residential settlement located in the North of Ranja Hermit.

Coincidentally in the house was gathering some youths and elder Wanua Ranja. The arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono and Dyah Kirana immediately attracted the attention of the audience at that place. Because they saw the two of them as a pair that was compatible with their beautiful faces.

Mpu Anggada who participated in watching the coronation of the new Duke of Seloageng, hurriedly stood up from his seat and rushed to welcome the arrival of Panji Tejo Laksono. In front of the young prince, the nearly half-century-old Mpu Anggada immediately crouched down and worshipped at the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Worship me, Gusti Prince Duke. What is the wind until Gusti Pangeran Adipati reaches this remote place of ours?", said Mpu Anggada respectfully.

"I accidentally passed in your territory, Mpu Anggada. Stand up..

There were reports from both of them that there was a problem in your area. Is that right?", Panji Tejo Laksono stared at Mpu Anggada who immediately stood up from his place of worship.

"It is better to speak in the house only, Gusti Prince Duke. Let's go inside the slave hut" said Lurah Wanua Ranja immediately. They all immediately entered the village pendopo which became the gathering place of the young men and elders of the woman. Everyone immediately respected the Panji Tejo Laksono followed by Dyah Kirana. After they sat together in the village pendopo, Mpu Anggada immediately spoke.

"Before I beg for mercy a thousand mercy if my words will be considered presumptuous by Gusti Prince Duke.

Let me know who is this beautiful woman who is now with Gusti Prince Duke? Sorry, we're on the lookout for all the foreigners who came here because there's a problem. I had never seen this Nini Dewi before, nor had I seen her at the coronation of Gusti Prince Adipati Panji Tejo Laksono the other day", he said", Mpu Anggada again respected Panji Tejo Laksono while saying in a polite tone.

Hearing the question from Lurah Wanua Ranja, Panji Tejo Laksono glanced briefly at Dyah Kirana who smiled knots while waiting for what words would come out of the lips of the prince. With a resolute tone of voice, Panji Tejo Laksono said,

"He's my fifth wife"
