The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#44. The Black Flow. I
Laksminingrum immediately entered the cave in front of him along with the two crocodile demons who helped him find Aji Dharma. Although it looks easy to find Aji Dharma in the cave, but it is not as easy as imagined. The cave has many branches. It's not like a labyrinth.
Another difficulty experienced is the situation in the cave that is getting darker. The deeper the less light can enter.
"Is Aji Dharma really here?" Laksminingrum began to doubt the two crocodile demon women.
"This is the abode of the woman who has kidnapped the man who walked with you. "
"Do you know the old woman? And then why are you helping me?"
"I know him. There is a fate tied between you and our queen that makes the queen send us to help you" replied one of them.
"A bonded destiny? Meanin? Does the queen have anything to do with me?" Laksminingrum was slightly surprised upon hearing that.
"On that, we don't know. I asked him once but he just said that everything would be answered as time goes on."
Laksminingrum was not satisfied at all with that answer. He wanted a clearer answer. He did not even understand the answer given by them.
"After this can I meet your queen?" Ask Laksminingrum.
"On that, we better talk later. The most important thing now is to find the man first . If we're late, it could be a collision ."

"Servant, are we now in the land of Majasari?" seen by the king's messenger soldiers a group of people who were asking a servant when he was eating in a tavern that was right next to the inn.
"Yes sir."
"Then do you know where the Duchy of Mangkualam is located?" Ask them again.
"The gentlemen are now in the duchy of Mangkualam" said the servant. The soldier who heard was silent . He tried not to look like he was watching them. Taking a quick look he knew their purpose was definitely not far from making a mess.
After hearing them ask the location of the duchy palace, the soldier became more and more convinced. They seem to have bad intentions. But it seems that they look more like a group of people who will cooperate with the Duke.
The Duke of Mangkualam named Kencana Wulan was planning something . The king said he was suspected of collaborating with a leech. Looks like he is in need of a large fund to be willing to do dirty. But what's all that for?

Aji Dharma who could not escape continued to expect the arrival of Laksminingrum to help him, even though he thought it was impossible. He did not doubt his companion, but he was pessimistic that Laksminingrum knew the place where he was waiting for the time to become the victim of an old woman thirsting for beauty and strength .
Rather than just contemplating while doing something useless, he decided to continue praying to the great God so that the miracle that made him escape death could come to him. After all, that was the only way left for him now. He did not want to die before gaining a power greater than Arya Bayu .
