Right at midnight, in the square of the Kingdom of Saindara Gumilang.
"Stop!"
Patih Cousin Labda Lawana is forced to stop the fight between Graskot and Lupija. Because both are equally strong.
Many times Graskot and Lupija pitted forces but both were thrown off the stage, so it was stated that no one had lost or won. The fight had to stop because time was running out.
"Yes ...!" The people exclaimed in disappointment, that was all the people could neglect because it was already a provision that the midnight fight would be stopped.
"Since Graskot and Lupija draw, then tomorrow the fight will be continued by other participants!" patih Selamarya.
"But, Ki Patih, I almost won!" Graskot tried to bargain.
"There's no buts. You can fight with other warriors after the break. And, my decision is inviolable!" sergeant Patih Sepuh Labda Lawana then called out to the public. "Now you all disband! The race continues tomorrow at noon!"
Inevitably, everyone began to disperse. Most go home to rest, they are mostly residents who watch the competition with their wives or with children. But for those who watch alone, they do not go straight home, some go to the night shop to get drunk, some look for bed-warming entertainment.
When everyone is going to their respective destinations that excitement occurs, they are surprised by a sheet containing woro-woro taped in crowded and bright places; crossroads, large shops, and so on, entertainment and other places.
"What?! Two thousand gold pieces for a dalit boy?!"
"It's too big!"
"Two thousand gold pieces!!"
People were surprised to think it was just a joke. But when reading who will pay, namely Raden Bakintal, everyone immediately believes.
"Raden Bakintal never jokes. Two thousand pieces of gold to him was not a large sum!"
So say people.
"Two thousand gold pieces are too many to kill a dalit boy. Give me a hundred gold pieces, I will voluntarily hunt them down!" said a warrior-looking man.
"Quickly find this dalit boy! Before it was discovered by someone else!"
"We form a group of hunters!"
"Who will come with me?!"
The swordsmen immediately moved quickly, making a team to hunt the dalit whose picture was listed in the woro-woro sheet.
**⁰0⁰**
In a very crowded shop not far from the square.
"Rear Rawal! Look at the people swarming what is it?!"
"Let's see!"
Rawal and Balkhi SuPekok who were about to fill the stomach approached the crowd center in front of the store. There's a sheet out there that's in the center of everyone's attention.
From behind the crowd, Rawal read carefully.
"That-that!" Rawal stuttered, there was a sense of pleasure but it immediately turned into a worry.
"What is written on that sheet, Kakang Rawal?!" Balkhi SuPekok who could not read could only attempt to eavesdrop on people. Unfortunately, they read in their hearts and commented so much that he had to ask to clarify.
"Hurry, come with me!"
Instead of answering, Rawal took Balkhi SuPekok away to the middle of the square which was now deserted, when they had come to the tavern for dinner.
"Pictures and writing earlier ...." Rawal began to explain after looking at the left right behind no one else, other than himself and Balkhi Su Pekok.
"What's? Aren't you misreading, Kakang Rawal?!" surprised Balkhi Su Pekok after Rawal explained.
"No, Adi!"
"It could be Raden Bakintal's wrong man! First, Jaga should not have arrived in this kingdom. Second, if it had arrived, how could the boy have killed his son Raden Bakintal? Definitely not the one we know!"
"Then what, Kakang?!"
"We find Take care before anyone else finds it!"
"You're interested in getting two thousand gold pieces, Kakang Rawal?!"
"Guoblokg! Not to arrest him and then deploy on Raden Bakintal. But ... We saved him to get out of the royal wall!"
"Agreed, Kakang!"
Rawal and Pekok agreed, both of them were about to step before Rawal remembered something,
"But where are we going, Adi Pekok?!" tanya Rawal confused herself for not knowing where to start.
"Where are the legs taking us, Kakang!"
Plokkp!
Rawal patted his own head, not understanding with the thoughts of his younger brother.
A moment later, "Osh .. I know, Adi! We start from finding out what happened at Raden Bakintal's residence! From there we'll know roughly where Jaga is!"
At the same time, when an uproar occurred, a palace soldier's head reported to Senopati Sundul Mega.
"Two thousand?!"
"Yes, Senopati!"
"A lot. It seems Raden Bakintal really felt like he lost his son. You stupid man! Wouldn't it be better for the two thousand pieces of gold he used to find another wife who could give him offspring again? And for a dalit, a hundred pieces is enough. It's even two thousand!"
"Will it not interfere with the smooth running of the contest, Senopati?"
"will not. I think before sunrise tomorrow, it's over."
The alleged Senopati Sundul Mega is very reasonable. A reward of two thousand gold pieces to kill a dalit boy. Everyone would move, and everyone could kill a dalit boy!
***
Inside an abandoned, dark and haunted old house.
"What's outside?!"
Keep Saksena who practices silat alone until sleeping in an empty house tetiba awoke by the crowd in the yard.
"You, you, and you go there! You, you, you and over there! You and you go in from there, and you come with me!" exclaimed an all-black dressed man carrying a drawn machete.
Just like the people who were with him, all carried torches and weapons from knives, cleaver, scythe, spear to bow.
Apparently, the large number of prizes prepared by Raden Bakintal made the people _also the warriors_ decided to form groups of hunters. And later the gold pieces will be divided evenly.
One group consisted of ten people, so each of them would receive two hundred pieces of gold.
'Don't they look for me!' Keep Saksena quick to get up to peek out of the wall hole.
'They're here!' hearty Keep Saksena panicking.
Spontaneous Keep Saxony going into the house deeper. Even though the house is so dark, keep it from caring. Both hands he used as eyes to feel so as not to hit.
However,
Glubrakk!
Jaga Saksena's feet hit an old furniture so that it makes a noise.
"There's someone in there! Hurry along!" One of the hunters shouted loudly telling the other.
