The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#146. Farewell of Mathanadeva
Slowly Nishada's situation gradually recovered. Yaseka, assisted by Mathanadeva, managed to recover the situation in a relatively short time.
The gold mines managed by the nobles and employing the slaves were closed, while the slaves were freed, he said, in addition, the nobles were also imprisoned and almost all of their wealth was confiscated by the state and used to support freed slaves to start a new life.
Yaseka also opened a new village for the former slaves who did not want to return to their native areas. The kingdom also provides for two years for their new citizens until they get a new job or until they are able to meet their own needs.
Mathanadeva also helped Yaseka to make the rules in mining, restrictions on working hours and improvement of welfare the most important thing to note.
It took almost two months to normalize the entire state and economy of Nishada, and during that time Mathanadeva continued to help Yaseka, while Chen Khu spent his days with his father.
"What's your next plan..?! " chen Lee said to Chen Khu who was holding a fishing rod and sitting next to him.
"Don't know father.but I want to return to the Ming empire as soon as possible.I'm just waiting for you when you're ready to return.we're going to leave together." replied Chen Khu.
Chen Lee was speechless at hearing Chen Khu's reply.The bitter memories of losing almost all of his family members actually made him reluctant to return to the Ming empire.. not to mention if he later arrived at the village they used to live in, all those memories would definitely come back to pass.
Some of their relatives have decided to stay and settle in Nishada, as well as the bitter memories they had experienced in the Ming empire made them reluctant to return and decide to stay in Nishada and start a new life. Incidentally, the land they occupy today, is one of the few fertile areas in the kingdom.. Yaseka deliberately gave them the land in return for Chen Khu who had helped stop the seizure of power by Narendra.
"Dad...!! why are you quiet..?! " ask Chen Khu because his father said nothing after Chen Khu expressed his plans to return to the Ming Empire.
"Mmm. I was thinking. Maybe I should just stay here with our other families, I don't want. Our return will only awaken old memories.. " Chen Lee replied with a blank look forward.
"You guys are here... "
"Uncle.." Mathanadeva saluted Chen Lee who looked surprised by his arriving presence.
"Your majesty..!! " the two answered as they looked while paying respect to Mathanadeva.
"It is very difficult to find you two. I have to ask some people to be able to find you here." said Mathanadeva who then sat on a rock.
"It looks like there's something of noble importance up to here itself..?" said Chen Khu
"Actually not really..only..It has been almost three months I left Gurjara.. and because my help is no longer needed by Yaseka.. then tomorrow I plan to return... what about you..? " answere Mathanadeva.
"It seems that I am still at home living here noble one. let alone it seems that I will go back to parting with father." replied Chen Khu with a flat face while staring at his father's face deeply.
"What..?? so you mean..?! " Mathanadeva was a little surprised then looked towards Chen Lee.
"Yes your majesty, returning to the village will only evoke old memories.so I thought.for now maybe I should stay here first." said Chen Lee slowly.
Mathanadeva nodded slowly, on one hand he understood what Chen Khu's father was feeling.. Mathanadeva also felt sad if Chen Khu had to part with his father again.
"Khu'er seems to still have to finish something important in our country. So I think I should just stay here because if I was there, I was afraid that it would just be a burden for him.. " Chen Lee continued while rubbing his son's hair.
"Mmm.. What will your majesty Yaseka order her soldiers to escort you noble..? " chen Khu said he was trying to shift the conversation to change the mood.
"Yaseka said it like that. It's just that I refused it. Because I'm also going to meet Satavahana.. "
"It seems that I should start getting used to it again "replied Mathanadeva who also laughed.
"Please your honor.. " Chen Khu arrived - suddenly pointed his index finger at the forehead of Mathanadeva..
Mathanadeva who had not had time to speak had already sensed a stream of energy flowing into his body slowly for a few minutes.
"If your majesty rides, it will take a long time to return to Gurjara. I put a little energy in order for your majesty to fly to save time.. " chen Khu said then after pulling his finger back.
"Just maybe your highness needs to get used to it" Chen Khu said with a laugh.
Chen Khu then gave a hint that Mathanadeva could use the inner power he was given, then asked Mathanadeva to practice it.
Mathanadeva focused his mind and then directed a considerable amount of deep energy at both soles of his feet to make him float almost thirty centimeters from the ground.. but because the balance is still not good Mathanadeva almost toppled into the river if only Chen Khu did not catch his shirt.
"As I said earlier, your highness should get used to it" Chen Khu said with a smile.
Chen Khu then took Mathanadeva on a rather airy plot of land and then guided him to control his inner strength..
"In the science of lightening the body, we use deep energy to be able to move faster or jump further.. the noble one only needs to add more inner power and then keep it out constantly so that the noble body can float in the air longer.. " chen Khu said he gave the instructions and then practiced it with Mathanadeva in the hope that Mathanadeva would understand faster.
After repeating it a few times.. Mathanadeva can finally float in the air with a fairly high distance, just that Mathanadeva still has difficulty to maintain the balance of his body and it makes it unable to survive long enough in the air.
"The noble one only needs to practice balance.after that I am sure the noble one will definitely be able to do well.. " chen Khu smiled faintly at the ability of Mathanadeva to quickly begin to understand the clues she was giving.
" Yes, I almost forgot.. "
"Tomorrow I will leave Nishada. and Yaseka invites us to dinner.. What if we try it to the palace now..? " mathanadeva said looking excited.
"But your horse how noble..? " ask Chen Khu while frowning..
"I will ask one of the relatives to take him to the palace." Chen Lee said.
"Uncle.. did uncle not come..? " mathanadeva was surprised.
"I'm better here.This stream makes my mind calmer." replied Chen Lee.
"Dad....!! "
Chen Lee raised his hand to signal Chen Khu not to argue with him..
" Let's try your majesty" said Chen Khu then stomped his feet and shot into the air..
"Heiiii. wait." cried Mathanadeva.
"I said goodbye to uncle..!! " mathanadeva said to Chen Lee, then saluted, and soon followed Chen Khu who was hiding behind the clouds.
