The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#38. A Gift for Chen Khu
When morning arrived, Erlangga felt a little better than before. His previously numb hands had now started to move freely. Even though his feet still feel numb, he is still grateful. At least now he can be better than before.
"You two want to go now?" When hearing Laksminingrum and Aji Dharma say goodbye Erlangga said so. He wants to be with them longer.
"We have a goal we need to reach as soon as possible. Actually we'd like to be here a little longer, but the sound of the call to keep wandering keeps haunting us ."
"If it wants you guys I can't help it. May you achieve your goals yes," with a smile even though not willing Erlangga said.
"Someday, I hope we can meet again. At that time , I want us to be able to travel together again" he continued.
Laksminingrum and Aji Dharma walked out of the house with a map made by Nyi Arum Sari. Their route looks pretty far away. When they saw it, they both estimated that they would reach Mount Luhur two or three months later if there were no transverse aral.
Slowly, they continued to go down the hill and continued to walk north in the direction of the map. The vast forest they continued to follow. Before nightfall they both want to reach the nearest village.

"Sometimes, the two of you will also be separated. May I know your purpose in studying Kanuragan?" Nyi Arum Sari asked Dewi Ratih who looked sad.
"I want to be like my father who lives on the battlefield. I also want to liberate the country where I was born out of the hands of the wrongdoers."
"Good idea . I know it's a good goal, but I'm not interested in the truth . If you don't show me that bracelet, I won't train you. Why bother to deliver life?" Nyi Arum Sari seems to be testing Dewi Ratih.
"For what? What would be wrong if we were to liberate the country of birth that is in decline now? I fought for my country . It doesn't matter if I die, as long as my goal is achieved I don't care."

"Is this direction right?" Ask Aji Dharma.
"I think this is right. Why are you doubting?" Ask Laksminingrum.
"I just want to make sure. How long are we gonna be up to housing?" Ask Aji Dharma.
"Some, but I hope we can make it before night."a
"In a moment, I seemed to hear the voice of a woman asking for help. Did you hear that too?" Ask Aji Dharma.
"Yes, I heard it," after a moment of silence Laksminingrum replied. The two of them immediately ran towards the direction where the voice sounded.
They find a woman of money who seems to be getting stripped of her clothes by a man who looks half-naked. Upon seeing that, the two immediately attacked the man who seemed to have bad intentions towards him.
The fight went on not long. In an instant the man could be defeated. I wanted Aji Dharma to kill the man, but because the man said that he was the son of the village chief there, Aji Dharma changed his mind. He did not want to have any problems with the people.
Instead of lingering there, he chose to take the woman to his house. At least that way, the girl's parents will soon find out what happened to their daughter in order to find the right solution. That way, such a bad event will not happen again later.
