Magellan stood in front of the beautiful woods, his heart filled with a subtle feeling of embarrassment.

He had seen the entrance to the place where the Brahmins lived, where Magellan provoked and then killed the Monkey King, but here, in the depths of the secret realm, Magellan had not seen.

It is a huge space that seems to be compressed, with dense and fertile plains, mountains and grasslands, lakes like jewels set in a green carpet, and lotus flowers floating everywhere on the water.

It's a fairyland, it seems as if it shouldn't exist in the world at all, and the monkeys, because of some innocence that Magellan didn't know, have taken up a place here.

Magellan had also imagined that the monkeys in the ape's mouth lived in a rich mountain forest, perhaps large and prosperous, but in the end when he looked at the monkeys, Magellan was speechless with astonishment.

It was a flood that covered the mountains, a tidal wave that flooded the woodlands and grasslands, and it was an innumerable number of apes.

At the top were the terrifying beasts, which were larger than the male elephants, and they stood in front of Magellan in two rows. Behind them were golden apes, with ruby faces and human smiling, majestic expressions and unsmiling expressions.

It is a grand welcoming ceremony, and Magellan is a guest of the monkeys, and in front of him is an avenue that leads to the center of the monkeys - where the new monkey king, Sukaripara, is waiting.

Magellan stepped forward.

"Welcome, distinguished guest!"

It was a huge wave that filled the whole world, coming from the mouths of countless apes, like the legend of the flood that flooded the whole world in ancient times, endlessly.

"Welcome, distinguished guest. ”

Sukaripa was no longer the drunken monkey, with its long golden hair, dazzling jewels, and a crown of majesty.

"Thank you. ”

Magellan's instincts told him that a welcome ceremony of this magnitude would be a waste of time, and that was not what he wanted.

"It's time to keep the promise," Sukaripa seemed to see through Magellan's thoughts, and the Monkey King raised his head with a smile and looked around, and everywhere he looked, every ape bowed his head and saluted the king, "Go to all directions, mighty apes, my brothers, the places I know, the east, the south, the north, the west, the east, the south, the north, the west, the countless tall mountains, the countless treasures of the secret realm, the countless asura lairs, the countless hermitages of the gods and brahmins, you must cross them and find the city of the king of the asuras, the city of Ranga!"

"Go ahead!"

The Monkey King's courtiers, led by Hanuman, roared loudly, their cries flying into the air into the distance, telling each ape the Monkey King's orders.

Then the tide began to flow, and the apes began to move with a loud cry, their cries circling in the sky, and finally fading away.

"I still owe you unpaid yet, finding the Demon King's city is not enough to represent my gratitude to you, the throne is by no means such a light thing. ”

Sukaripa looked down at Magellan, his eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then the Monkey King raised his head and looked around.

"I am the Monkey King, and I will help you get the queen back, Prince, this is a promise, and I will keep it. ”

"Thank you. ”

Magellan stooped and saluted, and while he never expected the Monkey King to do anything other than promised, it was basic courtesy.

Of course, after knowing where the demon king's city is, Magellan will not trouble the monkeys to fight the asuras, he will solve everything himself.

"Now, please relax at the banquet," Hanuman was a competent minister, and when he became the minister of the Monkey King, the strange calm of the ape turned into the reserve and politeness of a noble person, "We need to give the monkeys a little time." ”

Magellan nodded helplessly and followed the Monkey King into the depths of the woods.

The banquet was a little more modest than Magellan had expected, at least the drinks at the banquet were not suma with powerful hallucinogens, but fruit wine made from fruit by the monkeys. He and the Monkey King tell the story of Rama, the protagonist of the story, before entering the mountain forest, killing time.

However, until late in the evening, when the stars were high in the zenith, and the monkeys failed to bring back the news, the monkey king reluctantly ended the banquet and let Magellan rest in the woods.

The wait lasted longer than the Monkey King and Magellan had expected, but before the ape could completely lose patience, the ape who had gone south brought back the news.

On the southern shore of the sea, they saw a magnificent city on the other side, with its high walls and black smoke, like a huge and incomparable castle, which was extremely suspicious.

The Monkey King was a little unhappy with the ape who sent the news, but after all, it was the earliest news after a long wait, and he was still very happy.

"That's the Demon King's Ranga City. ”

Magellan stood up and prepared to go, but Hanuman stopped him.

"You can't cross that sea. ”

"I can swim through. ”

"If that's the Demon King's city, he'll let the Asura attack you when you're exhausted, that's dangerous. ”

Magellan certainly knew what Hanuman wanted to do, and in the original story, Hanuman crossed the sea, wreaked havoc on the city of the Demon King, and found the protagonist's queen.

But now, there is really no need to waste time, Magellan himself can cross the sea anyway.

"Then I'll jump over there. ”

"If you have to go, Prince," the Monkey King compromised, knowing that it would not be able to stop Magellan, "let Hanuman follow you, my strongest brother, and the wisest of the monkeys." ”

"Okay," Magellan didn't care about having an ape around him at all, he just didn't want to waste time, "then let's go." ”

So together they left the wonderland of Brahmins and headed for the southern coast.

After crossing mountains, forests, and valleys, bypassing the retreats of the Asuras and Brahmins, Magellan and Hanuman finally reached the shore.

It was a calm sea, the sand on the shore was golden, and in the shallow places on the shore, the color of the water changed from clear light blue to a deep deep blue.

In the distant sea, the shadow of the land can be seen, and the outline of the massive city above it is not clear, but the black smoke rising from there is clearly visible.

"It doesn't have to be the city of the Demon King. ”

The ape looked at Magellan, who was already preparing to act, and calmly stopped him.

"So you're going to jump over and have a look anyway, then I can go with you," Magellan already fully understood the ape's stubbornness, so decided to put it mildly, "Time is precious." ”

"No, that's what the monkeys owe you. ”

"If you have to insist, help me find a bow and arrow. ”
