The Queen of the South Coast smiled.

“Yes, my friend, the Queen of the North Coast, thank you for bringing them here to meet me. Until the information I got from Grandpa Dewa Pandang about the whereabouts of the thief of the mystical object, I can explain to Arya and the Blue Scarf Angel, hopefully they both succeed in taking the mystical object back.”

They hugged each other then the Queen of the North Coast left Nyi Roro Kidul with her horse-drawn carriage towards the palace of the North Coast Kingdom, not long after Nyi Roro Kidul returned to her palace on the South Coast.

That day, Joyo Kandis did not join his soldiers in carrying out routine activities searching for settlements and hermitages that had not fallen into the territory of the Underground Kingdom, he seemed to be heading to a secret room where his friends from the jinn and ghosts nations were.

No one knew except himself and Nyi Centil about the existence of these creatures, who had always helped from the establishment of the Underground Kingdom to the abundance of Joyo Kandis' wealth in the Kingdom.

Not only that, all the supernatural powers or knowledge that Joyo Kandis has come from his friends, but of course there are requirements that Joyo Kandis must fulfill so that it remains eternal in the palace of the Kingdom and everything he has.

"What's wrong my friends? That you called me to this room?"

Joyo Kandis asked the creatures in the form of jinn and ghosts in the secret room, the jinn and ghosts in the very large room which was actually not a room but a space but Joyo Kandis called it a secret room also spoke.

"Have you forgotten Joyo Kandis? Tonight you have to prepare a sacrifice for us, if you don't fulfill it then we can't accompany you in this palace anymore. And all the wealth that you have will run out, are you able to rely only on the villagers to meet all your needs and all the residents of this Kingdom?"

Joyo Kandis who just understood the meaning of being called to the secret room by his friends was surprised, he seemed to press his palms together in front of his chest.

“Forgive me, my friends, because I was so carried away and happy to get the South Sea Gemstone that I could use to expand my territory, I forgot the requirement that you wanted from me to hand over a pair of pure humans every 3 full moons.”

The Demons and Jinns said again.

“Well, if you have realized it now, what are you waiting for, quickly find that pair of humans before night comes!”

Joyo Kandis nodded his head.

“Okay, my friends, now I will look for the offering in the village around Mount Semeru, I beg your leave.”

After saying and saluting, Joyo Kandis immediately left the secret room, with several palace soldiers he headed to the rural area not far from the valley of Mount Semeru.

Meanwhile, Nyi Centil was asked to remain in the palace, as the leader of the Underground Kingdom replacing her whenever she was not in the palace.

A pair of holy humans for the offering or sacrifice are a man and a woman who are still virgins, they will later be asked to dance and have sex like a married couple all night. Finally, the creatures will kill and drink their blood in turns, it is believed that it can make the creatures in the form of jinn and ghosts able to survive for a long time in the palace of the Underground Kingdom for the next 3 full moons.

The strange ritual has been agreed upon since the creatures helped Joyo Kandis build the palace underground in the valley of Mount Semeru, and it must always be fulfilled by Joyo Kandis every 3 full moons if he still wants the wealth and supernatural powers that he has.

By force and acting roughly, Joyo Kandis managed to get a pair of male and female virgins, they were both led to the palace of the Underground Kingdom.

In capturing the pair of male and female, Joyo Kandis and his men faced resistance from the villagers, especially his family, which inevitably resulted in the deaths of the family of the pair of humans who would be used as sacrifices.

The palace soldiers were only allowed to escort them to the corridor to the secret room in the palace of the Underground Kingdom, then the pair of male and female Joyo Kandis himself forced them to go and enter the secret room where his friends who had been loyally helping to create the palace of the Underground Kingdom along with all its contents in the form of wealth and Joyo Kandis' supernatural knowledge were waiting.

When night fell, a strange ritual began by the creatures in the room called the secret room, Joyo Kandis himself was not allowed to participate in witnessing everything that happened starting from the initial process, namely dancing, then having sex and finally being killed with their blood that would be sucked out. Joyo Kandis would be asked to re-enter the secret room when it was morning, to retrieve the bodies of a man and a woman who had become sacrifices and take them out of the room.

With the help of Nyi Centil, Joyo Kandis also managed to bring the two bodies of his sacrifices out of the secret room. Then buried in the palace without any of the inhabitants of the Underground Kingdom knowing, because it could cause concern, especially for the soldiers and loyal followers of the palace who were still virgins and virgins so that they would think that one day they could be made victims if Joyo Kandis did not succeed in getting a man and a woman in the rural area to be used as the next sacrifice.

It was indeed terrible and what Joyo Kandis did was indeed a very cruel act, for the sake of the continuation of the Underground Kingdom he even had the heart to sacrifice innocent villagers...
