The Fire Dragon Sword
Traitorous Pendekar Kalang
Ken Panca showed the roll he partially got from Wardhana to Sabrang and the White Fox.
"This scroll is partly borrowed from Mr. Wardhana which contains a record of his travels with you and the rest is mine. I was once so obsessed by the warrior Devil tribe and the fire-fighting lake that later became known as the relics of the Masalembo civilization.
I traveled around Nuswantoro just to look for clues to their whereabouts, and in that search I accidentally found something interesting," said Ken Panca slowly.
"What's so interesting?" asked the White Fox curiously.
"The peak of songo temple, mount padang and another possible temple that is said to be in the middle of the lake is the key to all these secrets" replied Ken Panca.
"Khayangan Temple, only that place is in the middle of a lake" Sabrang said arrived.
"Khyayangan Temple? do you know where it is?" ken Panca said quickly.
Sabrang nodded softly, "At this time Uncle Wardhana is there with the Kalang warriors."
"Mr Wardhana's recovered?" ask Ken Panca.
"The Kalang warriors were the ones who treated the uncle" Sabrang said as he explained all the happenings at the rainbow valley waterfall and its connection to the khayangan temple.
"Pendekar Kalang ya..." Ken Panca tried to remember the name but it did not work, he was very sure of all the records found never mention the name of the swordsman kalang.
"What then is the relationship of the three places to the book of Sabdo Loji?" ask the White Fox.
"Is the khayangan temple near setumbu hill?" ask Ken Panca.
"True, according to the story they are not far from the foot of the setumbu hill was once an ancient lake that was slowly lost due to the eruption of the volcano," replied the White Fox.
"How did you know the location of Khayangan Temple?" asked Sabrang confused.
"True to my guess," Ken Panca opened one of the scrolls before him and showed them.
"I've drawn the location of the Damalung and Nagari mountains during the day of the field and the possibility of where the mysterious temple is located. Do you know what these three far-flung buildings have in common? It's!" ken Panca said, pointing at the three circles he made.
"I mean grandpa?" asked Sabrang confused.
"Three of these places are surrounded by water, Kenteng songo is at the top of Damalung mountain which is surrounded by rivers, so is the Nagari noon of the field and if my estimation is right the mysterious temple that you call the Temple of Khayangan is also in the middle of the lake is not it?
Is this a coincidence? maybe, but we see the position of the sunrise from these three places. All of them face the sunrise with the same characteristic, shoulder blades. Are the three buildings that are far apart from each other with the same characteristics still a coincidence? all of these features indicate that the building was made to worship the sun god" replied Ken Panca.
"So you think these three buildings were made by the same person?" The White Fox looked surprised after hearing Ken Panca's explanation.
"True, more precisely made by the same civilization. A few days after the collapse of Mount Padang, the White Fox master came to me and told me some of the records he had read on the fifth gate wall of the mountain of padang," Ken Panca then read back the notes.
"We live by worshipping the great sun god, with his instructions, we build the advanced life of the three directions and this building as the center. The Great Lord along with the Sun God will lead this land of life. I'm in charge of recording all the Great Lord's leadership."
"The three directions that this record says seem to describe the three places I said earlier, Kenteng Songo Peak, the mysterious Temple and the mountain of the field itself.
Then, there was something strange about this note, which wrote this clearly saying that he was in charge of recording all the leadership of the great lord but this record seemed to be cut off, is this his last post or is something going on with the brand?" ken Panca continued.
"Maybe he wrote this note before the civilization was destroyed" the white fox chimpanzee said.
"You sure? Dieng was destroyed buried after you entered, as well as Masalembo which was destroyed by your fight. If anything happens to that civilization should their buildings have the same fate as Masalembo.
Kenteng Songo can still be inhabited by Gropak Waton until you find the place. Daylight nagari padang? all the key levers still work well before you destroy it and the shaman Temple is also occupied by the swordsman Kalang until this second right?" ken Panca said as he looked at the White Fox.
"So you mean?" The White Fox began to understand where Ken Panca was going.
"Any civilization that built all three places was clearly very advanced and not destroyed by any war or attack. They left the building not by force for a reason and perhaps until recently they lived somewhere. Only that can explain why their relics were not destroyed" replied Ken Panca confidently.
Sabrang and Fox White gasped in shock after hearing Ken Panca's answer, never thought of in the slightest by those civilizations that according to Pendekar Kalang is a forbidden civilization deliberately left the building of the magnificent building of its own will, the, there is a possibility that they are still alive.
"No, it seems impossible. If their science and magic are high, how do you explain we have never met them," the White Fox still does not believe what it hears.
"Do the martial world know if in the top of the songo temple there are magnificent buildings and the Gropak Waton tribe before you find it? Do you ever think that the towering Mount Padang there is a large room with high science?
We don't even dare to think mountain padang is a temple worshiping the sun god before looking with our own eyes, right? why don't you think that way about this civilization?
Nagari Siang Padang, Khayangan Temple and kenteng songo were not created by nature, they were all made by humans, there must be an explanation of who made the place. The Tenggerese and Gropak watons only accidentally found the two places and settled there.
Who made this magnificent building? I believe that the mysterious civilization that Sabrang called the forbidden civilization that made all and possibly all the science and knowledge that existed in the Sabdo Lodge is a small record of their lives" Ken Panca concluded.
"Did you guess what exactly their plan was to leave the building and hide?" sabrang asked increasingly curious.
Ken Panca shook his head softly, "I don't know but maybe the answer is in the Khayangan temple because of these three places only the temple is guarded."
"That's it, hopefully Uncle Wardhana can find something" Sabrang said in his heart.
"Son, you'd better go after Mr. Wardhana and tell him this matter, it'll be much easier to investigate the temple right now because he's there. I will take Mr. Fox White to Mount Padang, there is something I have to make sure again," said Ken Panca.
Sabrang nodded quickly, "Good cake."
***
The thick fog that enveloped the ancient lake that night made the air temperature so cold, Wardhana who was sitting in her room seemed to shiver as the night wind infiltrated into her room from a small crack.
Wardhana's face looked different than usual, the tension mixed with curiosity was clearly visible.
"Tonight, I will uncover who is actually suspected Arda Sukma wants to master the book of Sabdo Loji" Wardhana said in his heart.
His hands seemed busy opening every piece of the book of Sabdo Loji while occasionally sharpening his ears.
For two days Wardhana was in Khayangan Temple to set a trap, Ajidarma then called all the warriors Kalang and said that Wardhana was a descendant of Arda Sukma.
The emergence of Wardhana suddenly made some of the warriors not believe it just like that, they even accused Wardhana only claimed to seek profit.
But they could not do anything when Ajidarma asked to respect Wardhana because he was a descendant of people who had almost replaced him.
Actually it is a public secret that Arda Sukma is Ajidarma's favorite student but they never thought that their supreme leader was so easy to allow Wardhana to borrow the book of Sabdo Loji for several days on the grounds find out the reason Arda Sukma brought the book.
As Wardhana was reading the book, a body shot from the outside and approached her room.
"Finally you came also after two days of waiting, it seems you are very careful," Wardhana immediately spread her body as if she was asleep holding the sword she had hidden under her bed.
The sound of the door squeaking made Wardhana's heart race, she clasped tightly onto the handle of the sword as footsteps approached.
The fake Book of Sabdo Lodges he placed on the table became the mysterious swordsman's goal.
As the swordsman was about to touch the book of the Sabdo Lodge and open some sheets as if looking for something, Wardhana rose from her sleep with a sword pointed at her opponent.
"I heard that the defense in the Khayangan Temple is very strict because it is protected by a strange seal but you can enter so easily. Chances are only two, you have a high level of science or you are one of us" said Wardhana calmly.
The warrior gasped in shock to the point of dropping the Sabdo Loji book in his hand, he was very sure Wardhana should not wake up even if he sounded shouting.
"You, how is that possible?" said the warrior wearing the face cover.
"Are you surprised I'm still sober?" Wardhana took the water container on the table and spilled it in front of the swordsman.
"The poison black rose is indeed very deadly because it will not have a taste if mixed into the water but I already know the poison very well, there is a change in the smell of the water if we are observant," said Wardhana slowly.
Wardhana is very familiar with the poison because Mentari is a user of the poison Black Rose, he several times observed changes in the smell of water when Mentari touched drinking water.
The swordsman drew his sword as he began to master his shock, he was forced to use canoecraft while trying to escape.
"So you set me up?" the warrior prepares to attack.
"If I were you, you'd better put the sword down because I'm not the one doing things without careful calculation" Wardhana hit the bed several times as the swordsman attacked.
When the swordsman's attack almost hit Wardhana, the Hangareks appeared and repelled the attack with ease.
He turned his sword and used the tip of the sword to force the mysterious swordsman to retreat.
"The sword of darkness? so it's true that there's a traitor among the Kalang warriors. Now show me who you are?" yelled Hangareksa furious.
The Swordsman's face looked pale, he really did not expect Wardhana to make a trap for him.
"Just if you try to escape, I won't let go of the traitor, give up and show him who you really are?" hangareksa said when he saw the swordsman looking around as if preparing to escape.
The warrior was silent, he was not heartless, he had observed Wardhana's movements several times before deciding to take the book of Sabdo Loji. Nothing suspicious, Wardhana just locked himself in a room these few days and didn't meet anyone except for a meal.
The thing that surprised the swordsman the most was that Wardhana's cleverness followed all his plans, he was even seen drinking water that had been mixed with poison in front of all the warriors Kalang at dinner.
The mysterious swordsman who also ate with Wardhana this afternoon, clearly saw a slight change in eye color due to the effects of the Black Rose poison but he did not understand how Wardhana could survive.
"You okay? I'm so worried that you're really drinking the poisoned water" Hangareksa said without lowering his guard.
"This trap wouldn't have worked if I hadn't taken the plunge, he might not have been very smart but was very familiar with the habits of all of you. When I asked you what your habits are when eating with outsiders and you replied that guest food is always separated because it is a form of Kalang swordsman award. At that time I was more and more sure he would do something to me while eating.
I had seen around this place a lot of black roses when you first invited me in, and I was immediately sure you were the poison users of Black roses because the plant could not grow on its own.
Black Roses are poisonous plants that should be well cared for. I began to think he would use something to retrieve the book of Sabdo Lodge because it was impossible to ask him directly to me and while eating was the most appropriate time for him to prepare it all.
Lucky mistress concubine gave me the antidote. Maybe it's crazy for you but if I don't drink the poison he'll know if I'm planning something" Wardhana said calmly.
The mysterious swordsman looked amazed, he felt that what Wardhana did was not just crazy but full of calculations after seeing the situation in just one day.
The Swordsman shook his head slowly, he already had no desire to fight because fighting the Hangareksa would only get him killed. All he had in mind right now was to escape.
"So you decided to fight to the death?" said Hangareksa when he saw his opponent preparing to attack.
As the Hangareksa moved to attack, the swordsman suddenly pointed his sword up.
"Stright of the level II darkness sword: Explosion of sword energy."
"Damn it, he was intending to escape," Hangareksa jumped back as Wardhana's rooftop collapsed.
The warrior immediately barged out and fled.
"You want to escape? don't dream," Hangareksa ran out and immediately chased along with Wardhana and a few Kalang warriors who woke up upon hearing the explosion.
The warrior continued to run among the rain that began to fall while cursing in his heart, he really did not expect to fall into the trap Wardhana.
Every now and then the swordsman looked back to make sure no one was chasing him.
When he had already felt escaped, a sword belonging to the Hangareksa shot towards him.
The swordsman drew his sword and repelled the attack while jumping dodging.
Hangareksa's Heirloom Sword changed direction after being hit by the collision of the mysterious swordsman before stuck in a chunk of ice that suddenly formed in the dark.
"Ice moves?" the warrior was shocked.
The newly arrived hangareksa was no less surprised when he saw his sword stick on the ice wall.
"Can't you fight without involving others?" Sabrang smashed his ice wall while cursing, almost the sword hit his body if it did not quickly form an ice wall.
