Swordsman Without Friends
The agreement is unspoken.
Pranacitra was still trying to get up from his bed. in view of his attitude that looks insistent to make 'Angel Copet' feel surprised and suspicious. ''It seems like the limp boy is still hiding something from me. Or else there should be nothing he knows about the 'Thousand Poisons Valley.?''
''I told you to just lie still on your bed. Your body is still very weak., you look very curious about the 'Thousand Poisons Valley', where have you heard of that place.?''
Being reprimanded by horned parents who always sucked the pipe of the cage smelling incense made the young man aware of his insistent attitude. his heart hesitated whether to answer honestly or to lie to the head of the 'Maling Lightning' society who had helped him.
''Just speak the truth, but I won't force you if you don't want to say it either.'' said Angel Copet while glancing cynically.
''Forgive me chief., actually my teacher Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek once told me about a place called the Valley of a Thousand Poisons. Frankly I was curious about that place..''
''Reportedly some of the leading martial figures had tried to get into the valley, but no one could get out of it. I wonder it was clear the air of the place was filled with ferocious poison, why is there still anyone who would bet their lives to enter it..''
''Even the chairman said the beggar's association 'Ireng Branch' also intends to enter the place using the Blue Nirmala magic stone, what is actually in the Valley of a Thousand Poisons.?'' pranacitra asked with a slightly stingy voice and a curious look.
This young man actually did not like to lie, but he also had to keep a secret in accordance with his promise with the teacher. eventually he said that the desert was the one who had told him about the Valley of a Thousand Poisons, and that he was the one who had told him about it, but about the map, he still didn't say.
Angel Copet exhaled the smoke of the pipe from his mouth until the room was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs mixed with tobacco and frankincense.after a moment of silence the old man just replied 'Hhmm., I don't think it's wrong if I tell you. As the name implies, the Valley of a Thousand Poisons is indeed a place filled with poison. Starting plants, animals and the air there are also full of deadly toxins..''
''Then only fools and tired of life will enter there, but even so there are still fools who are desperate to bet their lives to enter the forbidden place..''
''But why would they do it.?'' cut Pranacitra unconscious.
''Brash brat., do not know the manners of interrupting the words of the old man was talking.!'' damprat Angel Copet was angry.the limp was embarrassed and immediately apologized.The old man snorted, his eyes shining sharply. ''Tell me why you are so curious about that poisonous valley, quickly reply.!''
This time the young man just kept quiet and closed his eyes. Angel Copet grunted with indignation because he felt ignored a limp and weak boy who he thought did not know himself. but his anger instantly turned into a huge shock upon hearing the cripple reply sternly, I'm curious about everything related to the Thousand Poison Valley., I said., because I intend to enter into that valley.!''
''Sickhead lame., apparently you're not only stupid but also crazy. damn, I feel like I'm starting to regret bringing you here and saving you.!'' Angel Copet nagging and swearing.
''Please, the chief will tell me about the valley, even though I know you have helped me, but still all kinds of treatment you give will be meaningless., because in my body stored blood-clotting poison and heart..''
''Hek., he., I already know about it. Even if the tone is difficult, but do you think I can't handle it. You arrogant limp boy, you underestimate me too much.!''
''My life will not be long, chief., all treatment will only be something in vain because in my body there is a rare pulse point called 'Dark Hell's Pulse Hole.!''
The two young old men were still sitting cross-legged on top of the teak-wood bed hall, no matter how long it had been. The young man named Pranacitra who was cross-legged in front sighed regretfully. ''I should not have asked about the Valley of a Thousand Poisons and told you all my illnesses so that the chief would not have to bother wasting energy to help me..''
''Already quiet, concentrate your attention and collect all the magic air that I channel into your body.!'' furious parents who hold the title Angel Copet while continuing to stick his left palm that emits a bluish light to the back of Pranacitra, while one hand is still clamping a pipe of fuming iron shell incense. the difference is that the smoke coming out of the end of the pipe is bluish red.!
Once again he sucked the pipe in his hand and then exhaled into the back of the limp youth who was cross-legged in front of him. Oddly, the bluish-red smoke in the heat did not spread as usual, but it was sucked into the back of Pranacitra. smoke drugs infiltrate the left palm yanking the air of magic. the leader of the Maling Kilat association is intent on doing two ways of treatment at once, he said, it will drain his energy and mind.
Twice the rice cooking time passed quickly, this old man already looked tired, but on the contrary the young man in front of him looked fresh and strong and full of life spirit as if transformed into someone else. finally with one last jolt Angel Copet stopped his treatment and immediately meditated to recover.
When the sound of a rooster crowing, the old man also realized from his semen.both his sunken and white-tailed eyes frowned.whenever since when the limp young man knelt on the floor facing him.
''After the chairman found out about my illness, I knew you couldn't possibly accept me as a student, I also didn't want to appoint the chairman as a teacher from the start because it would only make us both feel disappointed..''
''But deep down in my heart I have considered you my teacher and savior besides my father, there are only three people in this world whom I respect and bring myself to my knees, first Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek then Gembel Sakti Mata Putih and the last one is the head of Angel Copet..'' Pranacitra closed his words by prostrating once on the floor as a sign of respect for his teacher.
Angel Copet let out a long sigh, as if there was a sense of disappointment there. ''I used to have a close friend who had together founded this Maling Kilat association., but he is also at once a person I hate because without saying anything just go away just to become a hit man..''
''Chuih., the demon of alas., what a great group of 13 Assassins, only a bunch of fools who dream of mastering the treasures of the sacred palace and martial world.!''
''Which irritates me., after years of sudden disappearance he reappeared with a teenage boy who has a rare heart disorder. Frankly I envy him..''
''Then when I saw you still recklessly betting your life against the Tooth Beggar Gompal when you were already on the verge of death, I was immediately interested in making you as a student so that I could talk to the world if not just the old demon Maling Lives who had a good boy, but I'm Angel Copet also have an interesting limp.!''
''Although not spoken with the word., but between the two of us seemed to have been bound by an agreement that one day if it had an heir would be faced with each other in order to know who was between the two of us who was superior. just so you know that me and my former best friend had fought three times with the science of magic, but it always ended in a draw., it sucks.!'' the Angel Copet's Tender while slamming its pipe forward.
A streak of bluish-red light and smoke struck a wine jug on the table.no sound of broken objects was heard, but the jug full of wine was seen billowing smoke and then melted and charred like a lump of hot mud that made the wooden table along with a large hole.!
Pranacitra only looked at the half-scorched wooden table with a look of horror.In his heart he was grateful for the urgency of being a disciple of this grandfather. if not he will be made a rooster whiz for the old man.
