The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#93. Demon Interference. I
It was already dusk, but Chen Khu had not yet moved from his seat. The birds have returned to their nests. Chen Khu who was now lying on the grass looked at the birds nesting in the trees that were sheltering him. His mind drifted back to the Flying Horse sect as he looked at the group of birds that were leaping on the tree branch and looked like they were joking. Chen Khu dissolved into his daydream recalling everything in his sect. The jokes of his brothers and sisters as well as the laughter of the little children born and raised in the sect adorn his reverie..
"Master.. The young master was apparently here.. " said a man of stature was coming across - goopoh met Chen Khu who immediately changed position to sit down and put on a smile to meet the man who came.
"Master.. Maharaja Mathanadeva ordered me to accompany you and become your translator.My name is Shiva. "the man said back without waiting for an answer from Chen Khu on the previous remark.
Chen Khu did not immediately answer the man named Shiva, but Chen Khu first noticed the man who was a little older than him was from head to toe.
The age of the man was approximately twenty-five or thirty years old and his appearance did not seem like a person from the central mainland continent, by using a headband made of gold metal and using luxurious clothes that dangled almost touch the ground like the nobility, he said, but his manner of speaking as well as his fluency using the language of the central mainland continent made Chen Khu continue to pay attention to the man with a probing gaze.
"Sorry young master..why does the young master pay attention to me like that.is there something wrong with my appearance..? " say the man back.
"Ooh.sorry, " said Chen Khu with a slight surprise at Shiva's question.
"I'm just amazed by your ability to speak our language, as if you were a person from Ming.. and...what is your name just now..? " said Chen Khu who because of his surprise he did not have time to catch the words of the man in front of him who had mentioned his name.
"Shiva. My name is Shiva the young master and the emperor sent me here to be your translator" Shiva replied.
"Oh yes Shiva, I am Chen Khu" Chen Khu said as he stood and saluted like the people of the central mainland continent.
"I already know mister. the emperor told me earlier "Shiva replied briefly but still held respect for Chen Khu.
"It's dark today.we'd better go back.. " chen Khu said, allowing Shiva to walk first back to the magnificent building he occupied, but Shiva instead allowed Chen Khu to walk first and in the end they walked hand in hand back home what Chen Khu used for the last two weeks apparently their arrival was already awaited by Dhanwantari who looked very agitated.
"Young master..Where have you been.? if anything happens to you, the emperor will be very angry with me " said Dhanwantari in a language not understood by Chen Khu but from the look on his face Dhanwantari could not hide his anxiety.
Chen Khu turned to Shiva, who immediately translated Dhanwantari's words.
"Sorry sir. I just walk around for a while to breathe fresh air. Continuing to be in bed makes my body feel sore all the more let alone I am not used to lying on the mattress as thick as it is " chen Khu replied with a small laugh to calm Dhanwantari down.
"If so, come in, sir, for it seems that tonight the emperor will visit here to see your progress.. I will ask the ladies-in-waiting to prepare dinner, " said Dhanwantari, inviting Chen Khu and Shiva to enter the house.
"I am still not hungry sir." replied Chen Khu briefly translated by Shiva and answered with a nod of the head by Danwantari.
"I will wait for the emperor here and I ask for time so that I will be left alone" Chen Khu said back when he arrived at the middle ruanh quite wide.
Shiva told Danwantari and then Dhanwantari ordered all the guards and maids in the room to leave Chen Khu alone.
When the atmosphere is quiet.. Chen Khu sat down cross-legged and then meditated. Chen Khu attempted to recover his strength as quickly as possible in order to immediately return to the Ming empire to treat his anxiety.
Three hours had passed and Chen Khu had not yet completed his meditation, until finally a bodyguard opened the door and Matahanadeva with a very beautiful princess and walked gracefully following the king..dressed in sari of silk cloth, the clothing typical of the southern mainland continent, and using a veil made of thin cloth and filled with many beads and anklets made of gold entered that room.
Chen Khu halted his meditation as soon as Mathanadeva's footsteps were heard entering the room and greeted him respectfully.
"Yaharaja..!! " congratulations Chen Khu.
"You have looked healthier apparently.The people of the central mainland are indeed extraordinary." replied Mathanadeva while returning the respect of Chen Khu.
Maharaja Maharaja Mahahanadeva was a very simple looking king, he only wore long trousers that were not even made of silk, while the belt or belt is made of cloth while the body is sturdy and muscular not covered a piece of cloth was only a crown wrapped around a turban that is always attached to his head. If the kings of other kingdoms in the southern mainland continent always wear luxurious clothes and wear necklaces and belts of wide gold.. Mathanadeva only wears a large prayer beads strung over his shoulder and a curved sword that almost never escapes from his waist.
"This is my daughter Aahana" said Mathanadeva, announcing that the girl she was carrying met Chen Khu.. the girl clenched her palms together and bowed in salute to Chen Khu who was bowed down in embarrassment at Aahana's beauty and elegance.
"Don't be fooled by her appearance.she will be very beautiful and graceful if dressed like this.but if her hand is already holding a sword.then she will turn like a lioness.. " mathanadeva said back as if to tease her daughter.
"Ayahanda always said like that" said Aahana bowed embarrassed by the lips that were washed, Mathanadeva finally stroked her daughter's head, while Chen Khu just smiled at the behavior of the two.
"He is my only child, although he was born partly a woman, but his ability and courage are arguably equal or higher than men in general.. " mathanadeva continued, who was still stroking her daughter's hair.
Although Aahana did not understand the words of Chen Khu, she found Chen Khu occasionally glancing at her and that made her a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha.he is now eighteen years old, and already a dozen warfighters who want to ask him.just not a single person who can meet the requirements proposed by him." replied Mathanadeva.
"What are the conditions put forward by your noble daughter..? " ask Chen Khu
"The requirement is only one. if the prince or crown prince who wants to propose him should be able to defeat him in a one-on-one sword fight.. since Aahana was seventeen until now no prince or crown prince had managed to defeat her, even they were battered by her ", Mathanadeva replied, turning to her daughter with a smile.
"I find it interesting to say that if I were a prince or crown prince I would want to follow him, it's just that I'm just from the ordinary." Chen Khu said with a laugh.
"I'm sorry the emperor.I haven't seen the last sword I used before it was sucked into the black hole.. " asked Chen Khu then who arrived - suddenly remembered on his sword.
"You take it easy, Chen Khu, all your clothes and equipment when we found them in the lake were neat and safe.. " mathanadeva replied with a pat of a guard entering and approaching Mathanadeva and kneeling on his knees.
"Take all the goods - belong to Chen Khu and bring here "the order of Matthanadeva.
"Okay your majesty" replied the bodyguard and left a few minutes later he returned with a sword a bag and clothes that had been tattered - camping but folded neatly.
Chen Khu took out his thunder sword as well as his magic pouch with an expanding smile, but his movements came to a halt as he was about to take his robe.
"It feels like Wong Fei didn't hurt me this much" Chen Khu said slightly muttering but was heard by Mathanadeva.
"That's the clothes you used when we found you. Even some parts of your clothes were charred with fire" said Mathanadeva, then Chen Khu unfolded the clothes and it was true.. some parts of his clothes were already charred like burning fire.
"Her Majesty the Maharaja.. " suddenly there was a voice then a large man with a height of almost two meters with a sword at the waist entered the room rather hastily although he kept walking while bowing his head.
"What's the matter Commander Khan..? "
"Sorry Your Majesty, we have just received a report that the city of Chennai was attacked by the White Tiger Demon" Khan replied.
"Hmm. until when will the stealth attack end "murm Mathanadeva..
"Immediately prepare the troops. tomorrow morning - once we leave. and oh. yes... Chen Khu. This eastern sea warlord.his name is Khan. "Mathanadeva said to Chen Khu and Khan immediately close his palms and bowed respectfully to Chen Khu..
"The young master's mood is healthy" Khan said, saluting, and Mathanadewa, interpreting Khan's remarks to Chen Khu.
" Thank you for saving me. And if I may know..What is the problem, your majesty..? " ask Chen Khu.
"One of our regions is again attacked by demons, and this has continued to happen in the last two years.. I don't know what makes them so constantly appear and disturb our calm.. " matahanadeva said with a slightly moody face and then turned to Khan and gave a sign to leave them and ordered his daughter to prepare. Khan walked behind Aahana and left Chen Khu and Mathanadeva.
"Then what will your majesty do..?" chen Khu asked after Aahana and Khan were out of sight.
"We will fight against the creature tomorrow, and early in the morning we will leave, so for a while Dhanwantari and Shiva will accompany you" replied Mathanadeva.
"I'm sorry, your majesty, if your majesty allows me to come with your majesty, to continue to be in the palace I feel like a noble confinement." said Chen Khu..
"hmmm... are you sure that your condition is healthy enough to come with us..? because we do not know how strong the opponent we will face.. "
"I've recovered sixty percent of my noble strength.so I'm sure I can go along with the noble one. Besides, I also want to see the state of society on this southern mainland continent.."
"Well, if that's what you want.Tomorrow Shiva will pick you up when we leave." said Mathanadeva.
"Thank you, your majesty" Chen Khu said with a big smile..
Mathanadeva then stood up and said goodbye to Chen Khu to prepare for their victory tomorrow.
