The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Old Man with a Lucky Finger

"You're really stupid, Mbreg..

Gusti Prince, sorry I was forced to retreat for a moment. Will I take care of the Gumbreg", Tumenggung Ludaka immediately respect the Panji Tejo Laksono and rushed out of the residence pendopo Lurah Wanua Weleri while holding the hand of Demung Gumbreg.

The banner of Tejo Laksono just shook his head to see the actions of the fattened officer.

Arriving outside the pendopo, Tumenggung Ludaka immediately released Demung Gumbreg's arm violently.

"You can't help but look for trouble with Gusti Prince, Mbreg?

You dismantled the disguise uh still you destroyed the snack. Really outrageous", Tumenggung Ludaka's tirade immediately slid spicy into Gumbreg's ears.

"I was unintentionally Lu...

After all, this is all because of Siwikarna and Jaluwesi who continue to talk about the punishment of head lice for leaking the secret of our disguise. It is clear that I am afraid" Gumbreg said in self-defense.

"Basic coward!

Being told the same subordinates have chirped your guts. Are you an officer or not? If you ever do anything again next time, don't expect me to stand up for you. Let Gusti Prince Panji Tejo Laksono who will behead you himself", while grunting loudly, Tumenggung Ludaka returned to the residence pendopo Lurah Wanua Weleri.

"Well, that's just getting angry..

Lu I'm still your friend Lu. Do not be so Lu..", although Demung Gumbreg continued to whine asking Tumenggung Ludaka to stop, the high-ranking officer of the Panjalu soldier continued to walk towards the place where the Panji Tejo Laksono, was, Nalayana and Lurah Mpu Dirgo.

After knowing the identity of the guest, Mpu Dirgo's attitude immediately changed. He immediately ordered his servants to prepare a bedroom that was quite comfortable for Panji Tejo Laksono.

He also ordered the waiters in the kitchen of his house to prepare a special meal for the breakfast of Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends tomorrow morning until almost all night, the kitchen atmosphere of the Lurah Wanua Weleri residence was busy with cooking events.

After a long conversation, Panji Tejo Laksono also resigned to rest. Politely, Mpu Dirgo immediately escorted Panji Tejo Laksono towards his bed.

The night is getting late. After a long time the air was sultry, after midnight heavy rain flushed the Wanua Weleri region with a heavy.

Demung Gumbreg and Tumenggung Ludaka who got a bed near the bedroom Panji Tejo Laksono was forced to shift his sleeping position because the roof of the house Ki Lurah Wanua Weleri leaked. The rain continued until the morning came.

The morning was marked with a rooster crow that sounded from the chicken coop behind the house Ki Lurah Mpu Dirgo. The cold weather was so pronounced because heavy rain still flushed the eastern area of the Duchy of Kalingga. Water began to pool in some of the soil basins. Even the small river behind the lurah residence was overflowing like never before.

Panji Tejo Laksono awoke from his sleep as his nose smelled the scent of ginger. The young prince's eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of a beautiful woman in reddish yellow clothes who put a tray containing ginger wedang and a spoonful of warm face wash water given betel leaves.

"Luh Orange, please,

Are you awake?", Panji Tejo Laksono removed the blanket that covered part of his body and went down from the top of the bed.

"Had Gusti Prince..

I purposely prepared this for Gusti Prince because I am the servant of Gusti Prince", Luh Jingga replied with a knotty smile.

"Why are you talking like that? You are my future wife, not my servant" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he stepped towards the small table beside his bed.

"Just like, a wife's job is to serve her husband. So from now on I will continue to serve all the needs of Gusti Prince. Please Gusti Prince did not refuse her", Luh Jingga hugged the tray in her grasp. The beautiful girl had been dressed up pretty since this morning.

"If that's your only reason, I won't let you serve me. Try to tell me your real reason, otherwise don't expect you to be able to serve me at all times", Panji Tejo Laksono smiled meaningfully.

"I-I want to always be close to Gusti Prince. Because I am in love with Gusti Prince", reddened the face of Luh Orange to like a boiled crab when saying the word.

Panji Tejo Laksono immediately approached the princess Mpu Damarmoyo from Penampihan Hill with a smile knot.

"Well then it will be delicious" Panji Tejo Laksono said as he extended his right hand towards Luh Jingga. The beautiful girl who was bowed immediately welcomed the hand of her idol with a sweet smile on her lips. Slowly Panji Tejo Laksono drew Luh Jingga's hand with gentleness. The beautiful girl docked towards Panji Tejo Laksono's body.

When their bodies were close together, the heart of Luh Jingga was pounding. Especially when Panji Tejo Laksono gently touched his chin and brought his lips closer to Luh Jingga's lips. The cold morning atmosphere became so hot in the young prince's bedroom.

When the lips of the two of them almost touched, it arrived..

Ehemmm ! Ehemmm !

Deheman loudly from the mouth of Gayatri's lips immediately disperse the romantic atmosphere that was happening. The banner of Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga were similarly shocked and instantly took some distance between them.

"Morning is about to be perverted..

You don't know the place", grumbled Gayatri while staring intently at Panji Tejo Laksono and Luh Jingga.

"You can't if I go in my bedroom knock on the door first, Gayatri? Really annoying", Panji Tejo Laksono sprayed Gayatri to cover the feeling of carelessness.

"Gusti Prince should be able to control himself. This is where people don't do it.

Did Gusti Prince not think about my feelings?", annoyed Gayatri with the attitude of Panji Tejo Laksono.

Gayatri's speech resuscitated Panji Tejo Laksono. Immediately he scratched his head before speaking slowly.

"I'm sorry Gayatri.. This cold weather really makes me cold so my brain can't think clearly. Don't be angry anymore..

You've packed your clothes in preparation for leaving for Kalingga yet?", Panji Tejo Laksono switched the conversation.

"It was Gusti Prince, just waiting for orders from Gusti Prince alone", replied Gayatri.

"That's crain. All of you have me help you clean up, huh? I want you two to do it. When you're done I'll give you a kiss gift for both of you.

Now I want to take a shower first", after saying that, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately stepped towards getting out of his bedroom.

Gayatri's face immediately heard the persuasion of Panji Tejo Laksono. Putri Tumenggung Sindupraja was quick to clean up the luggage of Panji Tejo Laksono assisted by Luh Jingga.

In his heart Luh Jingga smiled meaningfully looking at the excitement on Gayatri's face.

'Gusti Prince is indeed smart to conquer the heart of women'.

****

The old man slowly opened his eyes after a thick-bodied middle-aged man who was none other than Mpu Dirno finished speaking.

"So the one who defended your twin brother was a young man who controlled Ajian Tameng Waja?", asked the old man as he stared at Mpu Dirno who was sitting cross-legged in front of him.

"real Teacher..

As I recall the teacher once told me about a formidable opponent who had a perfect defensive magic that was before him. Judging from his age he must be a student of the opponent that the teacher told me", Mpu Dirno immediately respected the skinny old man.

Mmmmmm..

"That's for sure..

Had he been a disciple of the bastard Narashima, this would have been a remedy for my heartache over my previous defeat. It's his own fault for being the son of a bitch's student.

Dirno, though,

We can't just throw this opportunity away. This grudge I must repay. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to die quietly" the shabby young blue-clothed old man said immediately.

He immediately stood up from his seat and grabbed an heirloom keris placed on the wall of the cave that became his residence. After that the old man in shabby light blue clothes immediately stepped out from inside the cave followed by Mpu Dirno.

The weather is not very friendly with humans. A fairly heavy drizzle still flushed the eastern area of Kalingga Duchy. The Surya also did not bring up his face to warm the entire earth until the air felt cold piercing the bones.

Amidst the drizzling gales descending from the sky, two shadows moved agilely like flying over the trees that thrived on the slopes of Jonggring hills. Although the weather was not friendly, the two people who were burned by the vengeful fire did not care at all. They both sped towards Wanua Weleri.

The older man they were Mpu Dirno's teacher was Mpu Walandit.

3 decades ago, when Mpu Narashima was about to return to Padepokan Padas Putih on the slopes of Mount Penanggungan with Nini Ratri, Mpu Walandit had fought with Mpu Narashima. At that time, they bet their lives to fight for Nini Ratri who was to be taken by Mpu Walandit because they wanted Nini Ratri who is now the wife of Mapatih Warigalit, for her wife.

Mpu Narashima did not give his grandchildren to an older man who was more worthy as a father. As a result, they complained about the science of worship at Prambanan Temple.

Although the same has the power of linuwih, but in the end Mpu Walandit must recognize the superiority of an Mpu Narashima who is not able to penetrate his defense because it has Ajian Tameng Waja. Even Mpu Walandit had to lose three fingers of his hand that were shattered after being cut off by Ajian Thunder Saketi's bright blue light.

Mpu Walandit who was seriously injured chose to escape and imprisoned on Mount Sumbing to recover his body. After nearly ten years of forging himself in seclusion, Mpu Walandit comes out of his hermitage and intends to seek revenge. He went to Jenggala to challenge the magic of his eternal opponent. But Mpu Narashima who has returned to Kadiri has died until his revenge never once resolved.

Once heard about the person who mastered Ajian Tameng Waja, the spirit to try out his martial skills again appeared in the soul of Mpu Walandit. He would not waste this opportunity.

The two aged male figures continued to dart quickly towards Wanua Weleri as if they did not care about the drizzle that began to make their clothes drenched.

At the Lurah Wanua Weleri residence, dozens of people gathered together to enjoy the food served by Ki Lurah Mpu Dirgo. As well as welcoming the arrival of great guests, various types of dishes are served. Due to the continuous rainy weather, Mpu Dirgo ordered his servants to cook their stash. In addition to white rice and corn rice, various side dishes such as snapper jerky, cork fish jerky, chicken eggs, roasted duck, grilled chicken and anointing are also served. Young jackfruit vegetables, trancam, bothok goldfish as well as ketela tree leaf vegetables were presented there. Also various kinds of drinks such as nira aren, wedang ginger even twak, siddhu and cinca also accompany their big meal that morning.

The servants were helped by Mpu Dirgo's children and the jagabhaya wanua was shoulder to shoulder serving food to their great guests.

Demung Gumbreg is seen in the corner of the pendopo while cooking half the roast duck with a pile of ointments and trancam.

"That feels good, Lu..

This is not inferior to Nyi Ranti's cuisine in the corner of the big market Kotaraja Kadiri" Demung Gumbreg said while biting the roasted duck in his hand.

Tumenggung Ludaka who looks fun to chew young jackfruit vegetables on a side dish with snapper fish jerky also immediately answered the words of his best friend.

"You're right Mbreg..

The taste of snapper jerky is also very good as by those brought from the end of Galuh the other day", Tumenggung Ludaka continues to enjoy his food.

Not far from where Tumenggung Ludaka ate, Panji Tejo Laksono, Gayatri and Luh Jingga also enjoyed jerky cork fish, roasted chicken and bothok carp.

Everything is immersed in the pleasure of food served by Mpu Dirgo the Lurah Wanua Weleri.

But at the delicious breakfast was disturbed with a heavy voice from the middle of the yard Ki Lurah Mpu Dirgo.

"I'm looking for the person who owns Ajian Tameng Waja. Out now!"

The sound in the energy in the high level I immediately make the ear ringing pain. Everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on the two figures of an old man standing in the middle of the drizzling outpouring on the courtyard of the house.

Ki Lurah Mpu Dirgo immediately rushed towards the front.

"Rear Dirno, please,

What else are you doing here? Is not enough of the lesson you received?", Ki Lurah Mpu Dirgo stared intently at Mpu Dirno who was standing next to Mpu Walandit his teacher.

"So he's your twin brother, Dirno?

Mmmmmm..

His mouth was so stiff. Deserve to learn a lesson" said Mpu Walandit as he flicked his hand towards Mpu Dirgo.

Whhhuuugghh !

A cold wind swirled towards Mpu Dirgo. Lurah Wanua Weleri was not at all expected to get an impromptu attack could only exert all his strength in order to withstand the attack.

Dhhaaaassshhh !

Aaauuuggghhhhh !

Mpu Dirgo directly slammed into the back and hit the floor of his residence pendopo. It made everyone stand up from their seats.

"You kroco kroco don't mess around if you don't want to die fast!

Where's the guy who got Ajian Tameng Waja? Tell him to come out!", cried Mpu Walandit threateningly. From behind Panji Tejo Laksono walked towards the courtyard.

"You looking for me, old man?"
