The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#150. Maruka

The rain slowly subsided as the night dissolved.altered with cold air piercing the skin, and, but the two men sitting in such a bivouac were not affected by the cold night breeze because the accompanying wine made their bodies warmer.

The old man sitting in the bivouac told me that the magic bag that Chen Khu had been carrying was called Kuokaa.. when he was bathing in a waterfall, he was suddenly attacked by a group of people with high abilities, and was able to make him desperate and escape.

The magic bag called Kuokaa and a spear called silver fangs that he kept behind the waterfall had to be left behind.

The group of people even continued to pursue him for days until he finally found a place to hide and escape from the pursuit of these people.

His long run, making him lose his direction will be the location of the waterfall where he kept both his heirloom objects.and after searching for several weeks by going down the river.. the old man managed to rediscover the waterfall he was looking for, but the two heirlooms of his were no longer in place.. he lost his silver fangs in the form of a one and a half meter long spear with the tip of the blade that gave off a silvery-colored light, and tonight.. he was very surprised to never expect to see the heirloom again.

"Where did you get this thing from.. ?" asked the old man with a sharp look full of probing.

The attitude of the old man who kept changing - change made Chen Khu confused. when telling a story, the look of his face looked grim, but suddenly changed instantly to anger.. sometimes even - sometimes he arrived - suddenly crying, and sometimes also suddenly - to be friendly.. Chen Khu felt that the old man before him might be mentally disturbed.

"My teacher gave it to me..! " answered Chen Khu briefly.. Chen Khu tried to answer as he could to maintain his attitude so that no words could offend the old man before him.

"Who is your teacher's name..?! " asked the old man still with a sharp look.

"Lee Han kek..!! "

"Lee Han is that troublemaker..??! " ask the old man, who could not hide the shock on his face.

"Why..?! did grandpa know her..?? "

"No.. !!I've only heard that the vandals almost made the entire mainland continent ravaged.but apparently he stole the Kuokaas from me. " said the old man with a furious grunt.

"Please forgive my teacher kek. but. my teacher told me if the magic bag and a sword called the sword of thunder is also a gift from his teacher in addition to a book of martial arts..." chen Khu tried to calm the old man before him.

"His teacher..? aaah.the story will be longer.tp already..I also no longer need it. "said the old man then chugging the wine given by Chen Khu.

the night continued to pass.The two men continued to talk as usual, there was no more tension.. Chen Khu realized that the ability of the old man who behaved strangely like the person who was experiencing a mental disorder before him was very far above him, so igniting the flames of discord with him was tantamount to suicide.

***

The chirping of birds opened the day, when it was raining because the rain had stopped since dawn...Chen Khu who was sleeping fast suddenly woke up and immediately sat down.

"The same dream..!! " murm Chen Khu quietly.

"What's the young man...?! the nightmare, huh..?! " said the old man beside her while turning his back to fix his sleep.

"Really Cake..! twice have I dreamed the same thing. " replied Chen Khu.but Chen Khu's answer was only replied to a snoring sound by the old man next to him.

"Grandfather.get up.. !!" pinta Chen Khu while shaking the old man's body..

"Whoaaa..!! my head is heavy" said the old man, trying to get out of his sleep.

"Why cake..? if grandfather is not used to drinking wine.why did grandfather last night ask for it..? " chen Khu said as he massaged the old man's nape.

"It used to be a constant companion of mine.until.aahhh... have you forgotten the last time I drank wine." replied the old man and was about to reopen his body..

"Eeeiiit.. grandpa, get up. There's something I want to ask you." said Chen Khu trying to keep the old man's head from falling back to the bivouac floor.

"What else is young..?" said the old man while rubbing his eyes.

"Hahaha..magic said you..?!you want to be my student..?? what are you offering me..? ucao the old man while bringing his face closer to Chen Khu's face.

"Mmm. I don't know what can make grandfather interested, but if grandfather is willing I will try my best to obey grandfather's wishes" replied Chen Khu and still maintain his smile, although the old man was still yawning as the faces of the two were close together.

"Arak..!! do you still have wine like last night..?? it seemed like the wine could make me sleep well without thinking about the silver fangs. "answered the old man whose face turned grim again.

"Is that just cake..?? " tanya Chen Khu then took out some wine jars to meet his homemade bivouac.

"I still have dozens of wine jars like this. if you want." said Chen Khu.. but the old man's gaze instead paid attention to Chen Khu's magic pouch instead of the urn - the wine urn he asked for.

"Kuokaa. your ability still remains as it used to be despite your very shabby appearance." said the old man with glazed eyes.

"This grandfather not only had a mental disorder, but he also had two personalities.ah.it could not be three or even more.. " muttered Chen Khu inwardly who continued to be puzzled by the change - the change in facial expression of the old man before him.

"Sorry kek. if grandfather still wants it. take it. " said Chen Khu then took out his sky dragon sword and then handed over the magic bag that was always called Kuokaa by the old man.

Looking at the sky dragon sword sheath, the old man's expression changed again.. this time his gaze was very serious looking at the sky dragon sword that Chen Khu had just issued but the old man did not take out a word.

"Grandfather why..?! did grandfather also recognize this sword..? " said Chen Khu who was getting more confused.

"The Sky Dragon Fangled Heirloom..!! " the old man muttered while looking at Chen Khu as if asking for permission to touch him.. Chen Khu handed over his sword.

A moment later, the old man pulled out the sky dragon sword, but suddenly released it because his palm felt very hot when it touched the sword hilt.

"Hua Tuo..!!don't you recognize me anymore..??! " the man snapped while staring intently at the sky dragon sword that stood upright stuck on the ground.

"I'm sorry Mr. Maruka. "the golden-yellow smoke came out from the sky dragon sword, then slowly the smoke gathered and formed a body like the one that Chen Khu had encountered.

The man then bowed respectfully to the old man he called Maruka....

Before finishing this chapter, there are a few things I want to say :

**Specifically this Chapter, it took me two days to complete it. Bringing up a new character with a unique personality was very difficult for me.

I as a writer apologize if the previous chapter has not been released until now, even though the script has been submitted three days ago. Iri also heck.see the novels - other novels are still released even though the schedule is outside the day/working hours of MT/NT.😬😬but maybe the author has written a few days before.

For those who like to say I suck. thank you it is a sign that you are very fond of my work.although your name is never listed in the list of voters.but whatever it is, it is not, I keep saying thank you very much.

Thank you to the loyal readers of the Sky Dragon Swordsman who always gave his likes and votes..

Keep your health. keep your distance. and do not forget to keep wearing a mask. Hopefully this pandemic will pass**..

Wassalam..!!
