The Seven Gates of the Universe
68. The Thousand Poisons Party
"How's kakang? you got the antidote?" cempaka asked when she saw her husband was back.
When Pendekar Halilintar again saw all the White Skull Demon men left there were all killed. After the death of Jaka, the Princess of Manika Ice Island was helped by Cempaka to eradicate the herd that called themselves the Misty Devil Party. In just a short time, the two managed to crush the herd of criminals.
"This" replied the brief Thunderbolt Swordsman as he handed over the small bottle that was taken from under his clothes. Then Pendekar Halilintar told what he had experienced to his wife and the two ice island residents.
After that the Prince of Ice Island and his sister alternately told the events experienced by the residents of Ice Island to the pair of warriors. It turns out that Ice Island is now controlled by the Dark Demon God after an attack and managed to paralyze the resistance of the islanders.
"Akuku Island Ice is inhabited by many swordsmen of choice. I was there a few years ago, the King of Ice Island and his two children who are the same age as me have high magic. How can it be easily conquered?" pendekar Halilintar.
The four men decided to rest for a while under a shady tree not far from where they were. At length they told stories while waiting for the antidote reaction obtained by Pendekar Halilintar.
"The two people you refer to as the Ice Island King's son are our brothers" Manika said. Actually the son of the Ice Island King was four people, but outside it was better known to our two older brothers." Added Manika.
"There are four very powerful figures in the Misty Demon Party. The Dark Demon God who became their leader. The person is very young, about twenty years old but his magic is like a god" Prince Island Ice replaced his sister told me.
"The two grandfathers used to wear green clothes. Our father said he was known by the nickname Sword Finger. That person is the representative of the head of the society"
"Hmmm.. Sword Finger. According to the story of my late teacher, in the martial world there was a powerful figure who had very high swordsmanship skills. To the extent that he managed to create a science that makes the magic air in his finger as sharp as a sword." said Jaka.
"The third and fourth are the husband and wife pair of Fire Demons. By the chairman they were appointed as party protectors." added Prince Island Es.
"Whether the person has the characteristics of wearing all red clothes, with hair, eyebrows, mustache and the crest all red" asked Jaka.
"That's how master swordsman is" the Ice Island prince replied.
"Don't call us warriors. Just call our names, Jaka and Cempaka." said Jaka.
"Okay Jaka, then call us by name only. I'm Tanaka and my sister is Manika." retorted the Ice Island Prince named Tanaka.
"Where are you two going next?" ask Cempaka.
"We assigned Father to go to God's Fortress to deliver a message and tell the events that befell the ice island to the head of the God's Hand college" replied Manika.
"Oh. alright then. It seemed like the antidote to the poison that the White Skull Demon had given him was indeed genuine. We say goodbye, there is business to be done. Give our regards to Uncle Angels Tangled Sakti. Maybe in the near future we will visit him." said Jaka.
All four of them stood at the same time. The two inhabitants of the ice island bowed while clasping their hands together in front of their chests. They thanked the husband and wife for their help. Then the four men say goodbye to their respective destinations.
"Welcome to Ki Farja and all the young people!" sapa Ki Rambang the head of Karang Wangi Village as he put his hands together in salute.
Simultaneously Bayu, and two other people stood to pay their respects to the village chief. Then the leader of Karang Wangi Village joined the table. After the village chief was invited, everyone sat back at their table.
"Thank you for coming by our invitation. There's a little problem we're dealing with that needs your help." Reveal the village chief without further ado.
"What's the problem Ki?" ask Ki Farja.
"Our village has been plagued by a group of criminals who call themselves the Thousand Poisons Party. They were led by someone who called himself a Poison Demon." said the village chief.
"Then what did they do to this Karang Wangi village Ki?"
"They poisoned all the wells in this village. So many people are suffering from diseases. Then they came to give the bidder on our terms every week preparing some money and some ladies for them."
"Hmmm.it's so depraved of their behavior." exasperated Nalini.
"Then have the villagers tried to expel them Ki?"
"There have been several warriors from our village who tried to expel them, the result is that they all died with poisoning conditions. Since then no one has dared to bother them." Ki Rambang explained.
"Has the swordsman from somewhere else you called Ki before? ask Ki Farja.
"Not Ki. But a few days ago once came a Swordsman from the white stream to this village. Then I called him here and told him everything that happened in this village. Then I asked for his help to eradicate the criminals. The next day right in front of my house this swordsman's corpse was in a blue state of poisoning.
"Hmmm... know there have been many victims from among warriors, where do you think I can eradicate them? Or you also want me to be the same fate as them." asked Ki Farja Began cynical.
The village chief began to catch the unfriendly reaction of Ki Farja. It also went wrong. The man simply followed his instincts, asking for help to the nearest village.
"That's not it Ki, I followed my instincts to ask for help to Bojana Village. I don't know why I believe that by asking for your help this problem can be solved. Moreover, what I know in your village is famous for being safe and peaceful due to the large number of people who have martial skills."
"Then has this problem ever been reported to the city of King Ki?" ask Nalini.
"Hmmm. for that one we've never managed to do. Because every time we send people out of this village to the king's city, it's always the same messenger with the other victims. Died in poisoning. So that after that no one else dared to do it." explained Ki Rambang.
