THE SUN GOD SWORD
Mysterious Man
“Starting today, don't you call me prince,” Said Dewangga patting Sungsang Geni's shoulder, “Call me Dewangga, like Ivory and others. From today we are friends.”
Sungsang Geni simply nodded, a sign of agreement. He had never been friends with anyone before, and he had never been close to anyone since the death of his mother. So this was his first friendship.
Suddenly Dewangga remembered the incident in the courtyard of the house Ki Alam Sakti, when his sister Anjani sat down gloomily and a sword was cut off. ‘He must have defeated Sungsang Geni with great ease’ Dewangga accidentally hit his head in shame.
“Have you gone crazy? Slap your own head? hope it's crazy, then I'll marry your future wife.” Gadhing.
Dewangga slaps Gadhing on the shoulder, “You must surpass my power, only then can you seize my future wife.”
“If you go crazy, why would I surpass you?” gadhing.
“so now you expect me to go crazy?”
“Of course!”
Finally, as usual, the two friends began to fuss over things that were not important. Seeing the feud of Dewangga and Gadhing, making Sungsang Geni's feelings a little colorful. He almost forgot about this kind of atmosphere.
On the other hand Durada's feeling was quite calm against Sungsang Geni, he did not feel fear and shame. Several times he glanced at Sungsang Geni's face, and every time he saw it, it made him want to get to know the young man more deeply.
When the day began to move in the afternoon, the air began to feel cold piercing through the skin. The clouds slowly approached the west, seen the sun peeking from the cracks of orange-colored clouds.
The paired birds looked for a cage between shady wooden branches, then they whistled merrily, seemingly finding a suitable place to spend the night.
“Alright, we'd better continue the journey.” Durada said as he finished burying the bodies of the soldiers and bandits. “ Not far from here, we will meet a city, we will find lodging and restaurants.”
The group drove a little fast, the cry of Durada spur his horse across the small river. Water rippled, exposing hundreds of whitening froths.

After nightfall, they finally arrived at the town of Tenggang that Durada was talking about. They immediately looked for the best inn in the city, then found the Rose Inn.
An old servant appeared to come out in a hurry, seeing the badge that the Deity showed made him immediately call his other two friends.
The hostess gave some gold coins to the maid, making their faces instantly look happy, Sungsang Geni just smiled at the incident.
Then some of the separated soldiers pulled the horse-drawn carriage towards the inn yard, they looked annoyed at having to stay up all night near the carriage.
“Senior Durada, what makes men so happy?” ask Sungsang Geni.
Durada gnashed his forehead to find the question, “Of course women and wine. If you haven't tried both, you haven't said real man.” Then Durada chuckled.
Sungsang Geni immediately approached Dewangga, “Let me borrow some of your money, Dewangga?”
“Of course,” Dewangga then gave a black bag of silver and gold coins, “Get it, you don't need to borrow it.”
After the dinner was over, Dewangga and Gadhing immediately headed for their room to rest. While Durada and his theme were lying on the table eating because they drank too much wine. At once there was a mutter from the mouths of the three mercenaries.
Sungsang Geni immediately approached the waiter, “How much does arak cost one big jug?”
“30 silver pieces sir,” the waiter replied.
“Then, give me 2 big jugs”. Sungsang Geni placed 1 piece of gold on the servant's table. Looking at the one piece of gold dil, the servant was very pleased.
Sungsang Geni brought 2 large jugs of wine, then walked closer to 4 soldiers who had lethargic faces, it seems they were annoyed because of the task, at least they also wanted to sleep even if only one hour.
“Mr Geni, what are you doing here?” a soldier asked in astonishment, it was rare for a great swordsman to approach a warrior who was only a level 2 swordsman.
“What you say, senior. Of course I brought wine for you guys, we'll spend this drink together.” Said Sungsang Geni, then thrusting the wine in his hand.
They looked hesitant, staring at each other in wonder.
“Do you guys think I poisoned this drink?” ask Sunsang Geni.
“You are so generous Mr Geni?” they simultaneously saluted, then rushed to pour wine into a cup and drank it.
After the fight earlier this afternoon, they did not intend to doubt Sungsang Geni's words, let alone to refute him. If the wine was poisoned to kill them? What's in it for Sungsang Geni. They think the same thing.
“May I sit with you?”, asked Sungsang Geni, pointing at the empty bench next to the soldier.
“If mister Geni does not feel uncomfortable, please.” One of them threw the bench.
“Why should I worry?” replied Sungsang Geni, then immediately vertical wine contained in his cup.
‘pahit’ Sungsang Geni almost spewed the liquid out of his mouth, he did not expect many men to like drinks like this.'real man?'
“Master Geni,” Nearby soldier says, “We haven't had time to thank you for your help this afternoon.”
“Not to think about. You should practice hard so that later you can protect at least yourself.” said Sungsang Geni.
When Sungsang Geni Beniat bought a sweeter drink, he suddenly felt something.
“Mr Geni, what's up?” one of the men noticed a change in the look on Sungsang Geni's face.
“Someone with Deep Power ability is around here. Although I did not feel the killing aura of that person, but the inner power he possessed was equivalent to that of Eang Master of the Sakti Realm,” Sungsang Geni said.
Hearing Sungsang Geni's words, the soldier immediately placed the cup on the table, then grabbed the machete. Their eyes swept around, wary of anything suspicious.
Some people who had been at the level of a level of a level-up Swordsman, could feel the aura of killing someone but few were able to sense the amount of profound energy that the person had.
Feeling the inner energy is difficult, because it is very subtle and supernatural. Distinct from the killing aura that seemed striking and rude.
To feel the Inner Energy of others, at least one must direct a little of his inner energy to the intended person, then the energy in the intended person will show a response.
The amount of power in a person, depending on the size of the received response, the response received is different, there is a cold, there is a hot, there is a heavy and many more, and many more, it corresponds to the elements that support it.
But this method is very vulnerable to being discovered what if the person concerned can also feel the energy in others.
But Sungsang Geni has a better way of feeling the fire energy of the sun. Because the energy is not derived from internal energy but natural energy, then the risk of being discovered does not exist at all.
Suddenly an old man walked up to the Rose Inn.
His clothes look shabby and worn, he looks a little tired with a place to drink from a pumpkin that has not contained.
“Give me a meal, and a jug of wine?” he spoke to the servant who confronted him at the door.
