The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
The Fire Dragon Sword

"Dinda Queen Anggarawati,

Don't get angry yet? I just dropped Ajian Tameng Waja for your son. Of course, lowering the knowledge of high power should not be done in crowded places like this palace.

You already understand, don't you?", said Panji Watugunung with a smile knot.

"I don't mind Kangmas Prabu, but at least tell me where you're going so I don't think like that.

You are this from the past still does not change at all", said Dewi Anggarawati while pursing her lips.

"But Dinda the Queen, I..."

"Nothing but a tapi. Tonight is the time for me, Kangmas Prabu should be able to understand my feelings. Tomorrow night Kangmas Prabu is with Ayu Galuh. Does Kangmas Prabu not understand what I feel at all?

Come back to my Grand Castle now, if not be aware" said Dewi Anggarawati immediately as he passed towards the door of Panji Tejo Laksono castle.

"Tejo Laksono, please,

Tomorrow night Romo will train you again. You just calm down. Right now let Romo handle your baby before growing his horns", whispered Panji Watugunung slowly. Panji Tejo Laksono was about to answer the words of his father but the voice of Dewi Anggarawati made him not to open his mouth.

"Why are you still standing there??

Tejo Laksono, quickly you leave for a break. You must be tired after training. Don't listen to your father's words", Dewi Anggarawati glared sharply at Panji Watugunung. The Panjalu King let out a long sigh before stepping following Goddess Anggarawati.

'Wah the roar of Maharaja Panjalu in the eyes of everyone, still lost also with the biyung Anggarawati hihihi', the inner Panji Tejo Laksono.

After his parents left, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately returned to his resting place. Inside his bedroom room, this handsome young prince immediately sat cross-legged. He immediately meditated to improve his inner strength training. A moment later she was already immersed in her semedy.

That night at the guest hall of honor, Luh Jingga was constantly agitated on her bed. The identity of Panji Tejo Laksono who is different from his dreams makes the beautiful girl from Penampihan Hill unable to close her eyes.

'He is the eldest son of Prabu Jayengrana. Most likely appointed as Yuwaraja Panjalu in the future.

I'm just a mountain girl, the daughter of a small college leader.

Do I deserve to be with her? Will he be able to accept the caste distinction between us? But he was nice to me. Is this what you call destiny?'

Millions of questions flashed across Luh Jingga's head that entire night. Not a moment can his eyes be closed until the night is near the morning. Tired of being awake all night, before the crow rooster rang, Luh Jingga could just close his eyes.

Early morning to Kotaraja Kadiri. Although thick cloudy still hangs in the sky and the weather still feels cold, the wriggling of human life in the largest city in the Panjalu Kingdom region has been going on since. If in the past the city of Kadiri and Daha City were still separated by several Wanua, now the two cities are united because of the increasing number of residents who want to pit their fate in the capital. In the central region, Ksatrian Panjalu was built as a center for the activities of the soldiers who became a link between the two cities. Until most people still call this city as Daha or Kadiri.

In Keputran Daha, Panji Tejo Laksono got a visit from his half-brother from Ayu Galuh, Mapanji Jayawarsa. This second prince had a different nature to Panji Tejo Laksono. A little haughty and likes to be praised. Although timid and easily influenced, Jayawarsa is most reluctant to Panji Tejo Laksono who is more wise and wise in making decisions. Therefore he did not dare to ignore Panji Tejo Laksono just like that, even though in the right to the throne of Panji Tejo Laksono was his toughest rival.

.

Two other sons of Panji Watugunung still demanding canuragan and state. Mapanji Jayagiri studied at the Maharesi Linggabuana from Harinjing Hermitage in the eastern region of Kadiri while Apanji Mandala Seta was studying at Gunung Pucung Hermitage in the Karang Anom Duchy.

"Welcome to Kadiri's Son, Kangmas..

Sorry yesterday I could not see you because there was a little busy" Mapanji Jayawarsa said while respecting Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Thank you for your welcome Dhimas Jayawarsa..

I'm too tired so I can't go anywhere. I heard you graduated from Harinjing Hermitage. Can make Maharesi Linggabuana approve you, of course you are very intelligent Dhimas Jayawarsa. I am proud of you" Panji Tejo Laksono said with a faint smile.

"Ah Kangmas is too much. I did not have much difficulty in understanding the science taught by Maharesi Linggabuana. So I can graduate quickly

Kangmas himself why so long in Padepokan Padas Putih?", asked Mapanji Jayawarsa immediately.

"I like the atmosphere there, it's very cool. Unlike Kotaraja Kadiri who is hot like this Dhimas", replied Panji Tejo Laksono with his leisure.

They continued to talk about many things until the arrival of Demung Gumbreg, Tumenggung Ludaka and Tumenggung Landung.

Seeing the three of them, Mapanji Jayawarsa showed signs of dislike. After the three of them sat down, Mapanji Jayawarsa hurriedly said goodbye to Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Kangmas Tejo Laksono,

I have important business I need to prepare. I beg you to resign Kangmas", said Mapanji Jayawarsa while respecting the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Please Dhimas Jayawarsa,

Next time if you have free time, please come here again" Panji Tejo Laksono said immediately.

Mapanji Jayawarsa just nodded and then immediately left the place.

"That's weird..

Why does he not seem to want to linger together with Uncle three huh?", muttered Panji Tejo Laksono while staring at Mapanji Jayawarsa who walked away from the castle of Panji Tejo Laksono.

"We are honest court officials, Gusti Prince. So dishonest people must hate us" Demung Gumbreg said. Hearing those words, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately turned to the three high officials of Katang-katang Palace.

"Our devotion to Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono" said Tumenggung Ludaka quickly until Panji Tejo Laksono who was about to ask about Gumbreg's speech just answered him directly.

"Don't get too much Uncle..

Let's have a seat", Panji Tejo Laksono immediately sat cross-legged in the following by Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Landung and Demung Gumbreg. The three important officials in the Kingdom of Panjalu were immediately seated cross-legged in front of the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"I would like to thank you Uncle Ludaka for your help in the Duchy of Tanggulangin the other day.

If Uncle Ludaka does not help, maybe the business will be complicated because of the closeness of Akuwu Widoro with Adipati Prangbakat", said Panji Tejo Laksono while smiling thinly.

"It is appropriate if the servant as a loyal servant Gusti Prabu Jayengrana helps Gusti Prince establish the truth. Sastrogalih does deserve such treatment ", replied Tumenggung Ludaka while respecting Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Hamba juga membantu loh Gusti Pangeran, bukan Tumenggung Ludaka saja", sambung Demung Gumbreg segera.

"Hehehe, I know Uncle Gumbreg.. I also thanked you.

Oh, what's the matter, uncle three here? It seems not just to see my situation", Panji Tejo Laksono circulated his gaze to the three people.

"Hamba heard Gusti Pangeran wanted to be included in the counterattack from Blambangan. I understand the purpose of Gusti Prabu Jayengrana to include Gusti Prince in this war is to add insight and experience Gusti Prince. But this proposal is not purely the intention of Gusti Prabu Jayengrana but rather on the advice of Mahamantri Mpu Kepung and Dang Acarya Ring Kasaiwan Mpu Gandasena.

As Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono felt, for several days since the events of Menjing Cliff the other day, there were always parties who tried to harm Gusti Prince. We suspect that there are parties in the palace who want the death of Gusti Prince.Then we intend to guard Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono", Tumenggung Ludaka immediately respect after speaking.

"I, Kakang Ludaka and Gumbreg will take turns to maintain the security of Gusti Pangeran so as not to repeat the events of Menjing Gorge yesterday, Gusti Pangeran", continued Tumenggung Landung immediately.

"Thank you for your attention, Uncle everyone.

One of those hitmen had already told me about the man in the palace who paid them to harm me, just before I fell into the Menjing Gorge. From there I knew that I had to become stronger and able to defend myself against them. Your uncle need not worry, I am sure if I am able to take care of myself as best as possible", replied Panji Tejo Laksono while smiling thinly.

"We understand Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono is able to protect himself well, we can not force Gusti Prince to be willing but I beg Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono willing to be helped for small things so that we also calm in thinking about the safety of Gusti Prince. We will send Siwikarna and Jaluwesi who already know Gusti Prince well as personal guards.

Mmmmmm..

The banner of Tejo Laksono seemed to frown for a while as if he was considering something.

"Alright Uncle Ludaka, I don't mind.

But I do not want Siwikarna and Jaluwesi to act outrageously with actions that create discomfort for me. They are enough to accompany me" said Panji Tejo Laksono who immediately made Tumenggung Ludaka, Tumenggung Landung and Demung Gumbreg look at each other and smile widely and nodded to understand the purpose of Panji Tejo Laksono's words.

"Eh Gusti Prince, apologize if servant sassy.

Just wanted to ask. Two beautiful girls who were with Gusti Prince yesterday was his future wife huh? If it really means Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono is really similar to Gusti Pra.", not yet finished Demung Gumbreg talk, Tumenggung Ludaka quickly elbowed him.

Dhuugggh..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

"You're crazy, huh, Lu? Why do you elbow my ribs?", Demung Gumbreg screamed loudly and then stroked his ribs in Ludaka's Tumenggung elbow.

"Sorry Gusti Pangeran, please understand if Demung Gumbreg's speech is not polite and brash like this", Tumenggung Landung immediately respect the Panji Tejo Laksono.

"Uncle Gumbreg is like that, I am not surprised by his behavior", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled wryly.

"Who do you call insolent, Ndung? Indiscriminate by the way..

Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono a wise man, will not count with a small, weak and helpless person like me", Demung Gumbreg melengos annoyed.

The dhuuugggh!!

"Ouchhhh...

Your hand why the hell Lu? For a moment elbowing me", Gumbreg grumbled as he looked in wonder at Tumenggung Ludaka.

"Your mouth is sharp. If you get Gusti Pangeran Panji Tejo Laksono angry, are you ready to be cut off your head?", said Tumenggung Ludaka while growling softly at Demung Gumbreg.

Tumenggung Ludaka's speech immediately resuscitated Demung Gumbreg. He immediately lowered.

"Hamba please forgive if Demung Gumbreg's words are disrespectful, Gusti Prince. Later Siwikarna and Jaluwesi will I send you here.

We beg ourselves ", said Tumenggung Ludaka while worshiping at Panji Tejo Laksono and immediately retreated from his seat. Demung Gumbreg and Tumenggung Landung also did the same thing and immediately followed the steps of Tumenggung Ludaka.

Panji Tejo Laksono smiled thinly while shaking his head just looking at the three of them.

For the next two nights, Panji Tejo Laksono continued to receive training from Panji Watugunung including how to improve his swordsmanship and mastery of the Fire God's Ajian Talks to the highest level.

Rrrrrrrrrrr!!

A large rock exploded crumbled to ashes as a result of the impact of Ajian Tread of the Fire God. Panji Tejo Laksono lowered both of his palms while sighing deeply.

"It's so good my son.

To complete your swordsmanship, there must be a capable and powerful heirloom weapon.

It is time for Rome to pass down the heirloom weapons that Rome holds during wandering from various places on this Jawadwipa Earth", said Panji Watugunung with a faint smile.

The right hand of the Maharaja of Panjalu looks like splitting the void. Panji Tejo Laksono was amazed by the high power of his father.

From the void space that split open, the hand of Panji Watugunung holds a red-gloved sword. After that the Watugunung Panji with both hands pulled out the sword.

The scorching hot air immediately spread throughout the air around the place. The flame-red sword slab was created from the blade of the sword that had just been pulled out of the sheath. Panji Tejo Laksono also had to expend energy in his to be able to survive the heat and the fiery red light emitted by the sword.

"This is the Fire Dragon Sword, Tejo Laksono..

My flagship heirloom weapon that I used to uphold truth and justice in the Kingdom of Panjalu when I was young. Now this sword I pass on to you" Panji Watugunung said as he reinserted the Fire Dragon Sword into its sheath. The scorching hot air instantly dissipated along with the entry of the sword blade into the sheath. The Watugunung banner immediately handed the Fire Dragon Sword to the Tejo Laksono Panji.

"Now pull out the Fire Dragon Sword from the scabbard, my son.

Let him recognize you as his new master", orders Panji Watugunung immediately.

Panji Tejo Laksono nodded in understanding and exerted all his inner strength to pull out the Fire Dragon Sword.

Shhrrieg!!

The Fire Dragon Sword was plucked out of its scabbard. At the same time, time suddenly stopped. Panji Tejo Laksono was a little surprised to see the appearance of red smoke burning hot air covering his surroundings.

At the same time from behind the red smog, a red dragon appeared.

Hmmmmmm

"Who are you young? How can you pluck me out of the red sword sheath?", asked the Fire Dragon Spirit as he circled Panji Tejo Laksono's body.

From the back of the Panji Tejo Laksono, Panji Watugunung walked up to the Panji Tejo Laksono and grabbed his son's shoulders.

"This is my son, the Fire Dragon.

Now he is your new master. You must serve him as you serve all the descendants of Lokapala", said Panji Watugunung immediately.

"I understand, Watugunung. I will protect it as it has been set", said the Fire Dragon Spirit who then immediately disappeared with the disappearance of the red mist. Time went back as usual.

"What was that Kanjeng Romo?", asked Panji Tejo Laksono immediately.

"It was the Fire Dragon Spirit residing within this Fire Dragon Sword, Tejo Laksono. He already recognized you as his new master.

Now try to tripe the big tree that was there", commanded Panji Watugunung with a smile. Panji Tejo Laksono nodded and immediately jumped high into the air and swung the Fire Dragon Sword in his right hand.

Shhrreeeeetttth!

A sharp and scorching hot sword shot rapidly towards a large tree.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Krraaaatttakk... Brrruuaaaaaakkkkh!!!

The huge tree exploded and caught fire and fell to the ground. The banner of Tejo Laksono smiled widely while tightly grasping the hilt of the Fire Dragon Sword.

"Amazing weapon"
