31. Gulf

Erlangga was stunned to hear a question from Bima who seemed to blame himself and suspected that he had special intentions behind his power. Erlangga looked at Bima while shaking his head. He reached out and hugged Bma trying to neutralize their respective feelings.

“Never think too far because I never had any desire to rule over the hermitage. Initially I built this base just in case one day there was an attack from Sarah. I want a white-hearted family to be in this territory without anyone knowing. When that happened I really wished dad would stay at my house and build another hermitage to accommodate good people who had no place to live. Don't ever suspect me because I don't have any indication. I was sent by my father here to help Mr. Wijaya. He is a teacher in the sultanate and you know our relationship is very close.”

Bima nodded his head then he tried to leave Erlangga because he felt underestimated by the dashing man who had always been an idol in his hermitage. There was an uneasy feeling that crossed his heart when he saw Bima leave him but Erlangga preferred to remain silent. He didn't want to make matters worse. He also didn't want to create a gulf between the two of them.

Erlangga looked at Bima's departure in his heart. He regretted the man's suspicions for the efforts he had made so far. Erlangga knows it is not easy for him to give and convince others to accept his mindset but for him he will still try to carry out his best mission without bothering others. He promised in his heart to continue to improve his relationship with Wijaya and his family

"If you still think that I will create a gulf between us, it's okay, Bima. One day you will surely know what my true purpose is."

 Erlangga then stepped closer to his desk while occasionally checking the activities of the prisoners one by one to make sure that they were not under stress.

 When they found out that Erlangga was sitting in his work chair, several of his subordinates came, then bowed to pay respects to Airlangga, two of his subordinates, two of his subordinates, gave a rag regarding some strange events that had just happened to them after Erlangga brought Broto to the headquarters.

“Tell me what you want to report! Never cover up and never hide anything from me because sooner or later I will find out.”

"Very well, Your Majesty. We will report on the strange incident that we just experienced after His Majesty brought the man to this base. Moments after His Majesty placed the drugged body in prison number 12, a strange event occurred. Outside the room there was the sound of running people banging on the door as if they wanted to force their way in, but when we opened the door the person standing in front of us fell down mercilessly. Does Your Majesty know who that creature is?”

"Who? Do you know who he is?”

"He is no ordinary human. His body was black as if he had just experienced a very intense fire. There is not a single person who is not frightened at the sight of his face and eyes that shine like cat's eyes at night."

Erlangga frowned when he heard the reports of the children from his subordinates. The events they had just experienced were completely absurd but there was no reason for Erlangga not to believe their reports.

"After that what do you do whether you throw him out or bring him into this room and imprison him along with the other prisoners?"

“No, Your Majesty. The creature seemed to be hot and did not dare to enter this room like its original purpose. He was running so fast out of the dungeon somewhere I only saw him running east and we couldn't catch him at all.”

"He is Damar Aji. A male descendant of a demon who transformed into a human using Broto's body, it's no wonder that when the body he uses to live all this time is imprisoned in an environment that I have burned with verses from the Koran, he will not be able to penetrate it. Only pure-hearted people can enter this room. this is just a human, nothing else so I'm sure Damar Aji as long as Broto is in here can't interfere with the man's body again."

Erlangga's men nodded their heads as if they understood what the man had just explained

"Is there a possibility that Damar Aji will look for a new body to reside in his majesty, if that's what he does, everyone outside this room must be seriously endangered. He can act out of control of himself and might even be heavily controlled by Damar.”

"Then What should we do, Your Majesty? We await His Majesty's orders with sincerity. We will carry out all the noble orders properly without complaining.”

“Keep an eye on the creature and leave no room for it to do its thing. He is a more dangerous creature than Sarah who is openly violent. Mr Wijaya has declared war on the creature and there is no tolerance whatsoever when it tries to find a new home.”

Two of Erlangga's men nodded their heads then he remained in his original position while waiting for Erlangga's orders.

“Your Majesty, please make your orders clear.”

 Erlangga looked at the two with sharp eyes. He couldn't believe that the soldier he had always thought was very intelligent was acting like an i***t who couldn't digest the orders given to him quickly before.

"Where is your intelligence? Does living here make it all just disappear? You know the sultan's father loves you very much because you are enlisted and different from the other soldiers, but when I brought you here, why were you not able to work quickly at all?"

"Your Majesty. I don't mean to show stupidity. We really at this point are unable to digest His Majesty's orders. If it is true that Damar aji is a jinn, how can we see him with the naked eye?

“Should I explain that too? I think you know better how to do it. You see it with the knowledge you have so far in the Sultanate of Iskandar you are both picky warriors who no one can beat you except me. "

"Are we really allowed to use that knowledge, Your Excellency. If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty once ordered us not to use the highest knowledge that we have mastered except in a pinch and urgency. Is this condition considered an urgent condition, Your Majesty? ”
