True Martial Arts
Helping the Village People

“You robbed for good, I can understand, but this is still not a good deed. I will help your village as much as possible. We better get out of here before anyone sees you. Farm equipment ... I mean weapons collected in front of me.”

They had no intention of resisting, with bowed bodies, they handed over one by one the weapons in front of Kala.

Kala shook his hand and instantly the weapons disappeared. Kala kept the weapon in the interspatial ring so as not to invite trouble if there is a passing group. Of course all of these village heads were shocked to see their weapons suddenly disappear without a trace, but they did not dare to ask.

“Your village should have some weapons like a machete or a keris, why don't I see it here?”

“Ampun, Swordsman. The brand looted all our possessions including weapons, they reasoned that no one would fight.”

Kala nodded slowly. “How long is the trip from here to your village?”

“About five days or more if on foot.”

Kala nodded, at least it was quite a distance away from Maheswari. “Alright, we're going now. No need to bend, I'm still younger than you.”

Kala displays a warm smile that has become his trademark. This smile was actually heavy for Kala to do, considering that he was still covered in weights. Seeing the warming smile, the village heads became more relaxed and no longer lowered their heads.

Kala walked at the front while the five village chiefs followed him at the back. When folding his hands back, he enjoyed this kind of atmosphere. The forest on both sides of the road was so quiet and only decorated by the sound of birds.

Kala controlled the speed of his path, it was impossible for him to use the science of lightening himself and abandon the village heads.

Occasionally Kala looked back to make sure the five village heads were not left behind. Kala could see that they were actually hungry but covered it as much as possible from Kala.

When he could only shake his head, he did not have a lot of food stock to feed the village chiefs, he only hoped that there was a tavern that usually sold by the roadside.

Stores that usually sell on large roads like this open ordinary shops, they will build a large tavern and have a protective team. The food that is usually served is also not ordinary food, the food is classy noble food.

“There is a tavern, we stop by to fill the stomach.” Kala smiled warmly while pointing at the building that was visible from afar.

“Good, Swordsman. Swordsman can fill the stomach there,” said one of them.

Kala nodded slowly and accelerated his way, his stomach had indeed asked to be refilled.

This restaurant is quite large and one of the famous eateries on the island of Java, Kedai Pulau Teratai. Kala smiled bitterly considering having eaten with his loved ones in one of the branches of Lotus Island Shop.

When entering the shop door first, he stayed not far from the entrance. However, the one Kala was waiting for did not also enter.

“What are you waiting for? Why not sign in?”

Kala saw the village heads sitting outside the restaurant, of course Kala was surprised and did not understand the mind path of these village heads.

“Ah, no need to worry about us here, Swordsman. Swordsman can eat quietly inside, no need to think of us.”

“No need, Swordsman. You already intend to help our village and we don't want to owe you any more.”

“Already, you can pay it after the problem in the village is finished, pay with good food.” She smiled warmly. “Come in.”

The village heads stared at each other before agreeing to enter the tavern. They were astonished to see inside the restaurant, their noses responding as they smelled delicious food.

Go to the cashier's desk. “We want to eat together, I see this store is not terraced, so where can we get a spacious place to eat together?”

The waiter looked at Kala from top to bottom, his appearance like a high-economy swordsman made the waiter more respectful towards Kala. “Mr Swordsman, this Lotus Island Shop does not have a floor level for security reasons. However, here provides much nicer rooms than a multi-storey store. The spacious room and for the banquet were below, but Mr. Swordsman had to pay one gold kepeng to get a place there.”

Kala took out a piece of gold from his ring and placed it on the cashier's table. “Please show us the room.”

The servant kept Kala's money and led Kala and his entourage into the room that was underground.

This room is quite spacious and equipped with long tables and paintings, there is also a small stage for entertainment. The waiter offered Kala music entertainment. When he refused the offer, he was sure enough to return to order entertainment.

“Good. Mr Pendekar want to order what?”

“Any message, the important one is enough for all of us.”

“Good, would Mr Swordsman want a Tuak drink?”

Kala thought for a moment before agreeing to the offer. “Yes, bring palm wine with medium quality, I still can not receive high quality wine.”

“Alright, Mr. Swordsman. I beg you to withdraw, soon the dish will reach.”

Kala nodded slowly before telling the five village heads to sit down. The long table in this room is a short table, the dining system here is a lasehan meal. Kala sat cross-legged at the end of the table.

“If I may know, how many deaths have been in your respective villages?”

The village chief smiled in shock. “If the victims of our entire village are united, then the number is translucent two hundred people who died.”

Kala frowned, it was not a small amount for an innocent society. The actions of the Ice Crystal Castle had indeed crossed the line.

“How was the condition of the village just before you all left the village?”

“Almost all are in starvation condition, we are worried if now they are already very hungry.”

Kala again smiled warmly to give support to the five village heads. They continued the warm chat until the dishes had arrived.

All the food was already put on the table, but none of the village chiefs took the dishes. When they shook their head slowly, obviously they thought about the condition of the hungry people, they would not be able to eat if they remembered that.

“I know you are very worried about the villagers. However, you are also humans who need food intake. After we eat, I am very sure if the walking speed will increase.”
