Swordsman Without Friends
Scab.

Although after 'Pair Kutu and Benalu' still speak a few sentences to him but Pranacitra even not so care. this limp was only silent for a moment because he felt that something sounded strange and contradictory to each other in the words of the two parents.

A thought crossed his head. ''Hope you're sorry if I interject.wasn't you just saying that you two have been sworn not to tell anyone about the existence of a secret place called 'Devil Mushroom Sacred Cave' that. then why are you now even intending to tell me.?''

''Even if I am very interested because I feel that the place is besides a cave that is so extraordinary and certainly in desire of the main martial of the party leader of Gapura Devil, Gapura Devil, the secret cave has also made 'Pasang Kutu and Benalu'' as the royal king of the black dedengkot..''

''But unfortunately, even though all of that is very interesting, I also do not want to be the cause of others to break an oath agreement, especially to your two helper masters. this lowly me still has self-respect, so I guess, we better forget about it all.'' said Pranacitra smiling wryly.

Ticks Bangkotan and his friend the Old Benalu was surprised to hear Pranacitra bravely reprimand them, but the next moment they looked at each other and chuckled happily. ''This crippled boy in addition to the hard establishment is also not rake with all the treasures. The five old bangka in the 'Thousand Poisons Valley' was lucky enough to have an heir like him..''

Even though they were amazed by the attitude of the young man but outside of him they still sneered. ''Chuih., you pale-faced limp boy knows what it is about all sorts of vows and self-esteem. we were sworn to someone who helped us in the past, but I don't think it's all happening anymore. You know why.?''

This question is then answered by himself by the Bedbug Ticks. ''Hee., he., because the cave that became the target of the head of the Demon Gate to make him unable to sleep soundly it has actually long vanished from the face of the earth. ever since we came out of the Sacred Demon Mushroom Goa, the two of us have been required to destroy it.!''

''Until now no one knew the truth about this matter including the head of the Gapura Devils party. sometimes we like to laugh at himself seeing his behavior that continues to work at all costs to be able to find a secret cave that actually does not exist..''

''Huhm., maybe this is karma for him for daring to kill three of his own twin brothers in order to gain the position of party leader. even though the Devil Archway is not a collection of good humans but we still have self-esteem, even though the second twin does have extraordinary talent and a very dilute brain, but the heart of killing your own brother is still too cruel.!'' keep the Old Benalu snorting lowly.

A very unexpected answer.At first Pranacitra thought that a Pair of Ticks and Benalu might give him a clue about the location of the Sacred Goa of the Devil Mushroom, which is, then told him to go there in order to get the high-level magic science stored there, but apparently he was too lulled in delusion. or it could be that Kutu and Benalu really intend to play tricks on him.

''If the cave does not exist, then what is the need for you to tell me all this. did the Frog and the Old Man have a penchant for giving very high hopes to others before dropping them to the bottom of the sewer of despair.?'' pranacitra muttered half insinuating.

''If we both really like to play people then what do you want.? Huhm., apparently your brain is not as good as I thought. stupid and very slow in thinking. whereas before you yourself have said that what sounds and looks are not necessarily the same as the actual event. very disappointing.!'' spray the Old Benalu snorting. The Frogs snorted in annoyance.

Pranacitra looked down and pensively, a thought flashed through his head.A cold grin was on the tip of his lips. ''If there is a luxury house suddenly collapsed due to swept by the wind punting pickaxe or destroyed by fire, not necessarily also the contents also disappeared.it could be he is still safely buried in the ground or., or., first saved by the owner..''

''If I may guess it, before the two benevolent elders destroy the Sacred Goa of the Demon Mushroom, then, you have already taken all the valuable heirlooms including the instructions of silat and high-level magic stored there.!'' tukas Pranacitra with sharp eyes.

Ticks and Benalu laughed. ''Ha., ha., your brain has made little progress, but your answer is only half right. After all, the science of magic that is there can only be learned in pairs by two people. in addition, there is an expensive price that must be paid to be able to master it.''' bright lice Bangkotan glanced at the body of his colleague who was tall fat opposite Benalu Tua also saw a glimpse of the short grandfather cheeking.

There is a sadness of heart as well as a feeling of deep affection in the eyes of both of them. this can be understood because in order to be a warrior pair that can be said to be unmatched as it is now, both men must let their bodies become this weird for good.The skinny and small man bent, on the contrary the woman turned tall big, fat and almost always hungry.

''But half your answer has a point, so I don't think you're too dumb and deserve a chance. ''You know the limp boy, why does the head of the Demon Archway so want the Sacred Goa of the Demon Mushroom.?''

''It's all because of a rare plant called 'Devil Mushroom' like the name of the place. In this cave there are indeed a lot of mushrooms or mushrooms with various types and uses. from being very deadly to being able to increase the strength of the body and the power of worship.from the hundreds of mushrooms that grow in the cave, there is only one Demon Mushroom that can grow every year..''

''Not only that, the most important thing is to swallow the Devil Mushroom mushroom, you can enter the other secret cave safely to get the biggest secret from the Devil Arch party in the past.!'' connect Old Benalu. ''Key secret cave what else do you mean.?'' unconsciously the limp asked so curious.

The atmosphere became silent.with a sharp eye view and a slightly vibrating voice the Big Ticks replied. ''The cave is in a valley filled with hundreds of carcasses and bones.The stinging smell of very foul mingled poison is always smelled up to hundreds of spears from the valley..''

''Do not those with low knowledge, upper class fighters and have high intelligence are also not necessarily able to survive there. In short, he said., if you do not have a very great science of magic do not expect to be able to approach the place let alone enter it..''

''You not only know very well what that place is and where it is, even you have lived somehow long in there with five magical parents who only because of their stupidity and arrogance to be deceived and locked up in there like a trapped rat traps.!''

A pair of Ticks and Benalu looked at the limp young man in front of him who was sorted backwards, Even though he had never entered the valley full of poisonous air as well as the secret cave inside, but we believe there is a forbidden room in this cave that is abstinent to enter.!''

Pranacitra was silent for quite a while.he needed time to be able to calm his heart.The shadow of past events as he began to wander from the mountain of Bhishma to enter the Valley of a Thousand Poisons, the shadow of past events as he began to wander from the mountain of Bhishma to enter the Valley of a Thousand Poison, experiencing a thousand and one sufferings in his efforts to master the science of wisdom from his five teachers again flashed in his head.

''Hehm., although I knew that one day I would return to the valley but I did not think it would be this fast, it may be true, the saying goes., as far as birds fly he must return to his nest.as far as someone mengantau he also returned to his hometown.''inner limp sighed. he does not have a hometown, he already has no hometown, also relatives again to visit.but goa in the valley, can be considered as his successor.

Maybe in today's language especially when the eve of Lebaran, what will be done by the limp to go home the cage is commonly referred to as, Mudik. ☺
