The Black Crow Chapter 7: Valley Kingdom

Back to The Black Crow Chapter 6: The Fastest Swordsman

Beneath the foot of Mount Valeria is a rather magnificent palace. The residence of a king named King Valkon was surrounded by a vast expanse of fields where the local people managed it.

The region made it the busiest place in the Valley Kingdom. Starting from trade, lodging, to localization there. Various kinds of goods were traded, including those imported from outside the kingdom.

Several soldiers were seen patrolling the palace. Some of them surround the market area, some around the three meter high wall that became the fortress of the king's residence. At the gate several people lined up about to enter the palace. Several guards carried out checks on those who were about to enter.

The people began to enter the king's residence and continued on until they came to a gathering place. There sat a king with a crown on his head, accompanied by several important royal officials. After all sit down neatly, a king's guard then opened the meeting, "With the permission of Your Majesty King Valkon, I say welcome to the palace of the Valley Kingdom, let's start the weekly meeting this time."

The bodyguard then pointed to one of the guests who had come to the palace, "Please." he said. A man then stood up to tell the condition of the surrounding village in the southern region of the kingdom, "We succeeded in a great glorious harvest, the village was safe, praise the gods, may the king live long."

After a few minutes it was the turn of the old man with a stick began to sound, "The northern region ... many pests are attacking the fields, please the king sends someone experts to help us, thank you noble."

"I want the problems of the north to be resolved immediately." said the king, directing his gaze to a man sitting in a row of royal officials. The royal official in a robe patterned with gold lines then nodded. "Next," the king continued.

"Please forgive your Majesty, in the west, a swordsman with a large body went on a rampage in Durian Village. Last week he was involved with a young man who carried a black-patterned sword. After that he was getting crazy, the villagers were getting scared. Please help us." said a man scared.

Hearing the story, a general stood up, "Let me take care of it, Your Majesty." he said confidently. King Valkon nodded, and allowed his general to leave the meeting.

The general with many scratches on his hand walked towards the palace garden after leaving the meeting room. Arriving near the large banyan tree, a white old man appeared. "You are very disappointing, Sukarsa. Eight years have passed yet your task has not been completed. Should I do it myself?" said the white haired old man.

The man called Sukarsa only looked down, "Master!" he said a little scared. "If you don't kill him then you will be killed yourself." continued the master.

"I just got information that he is in the west, I will finish this task soon Master." said Sukarsa. Shortly after, the old man disappeared slowly like being blown by the wind.

After his master disappeared, the general's face looked annoyed. While clenching his hands he summoned two of his loyal men, "Senta, Paturai, kill that child and bring me the prize!"

Instantly two men with grim faces appeared on their knees in front of Sukarsa and said, "My lord!"
