KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Suro Menggolo (1)

Apparently Gajira used rain water to kill Pak Jaya. Gajira put his energy into the rain water around his body, until the rain water becomes sharper and then hit the entire body of Pak Jaya.

The effect did not inflict injuries on the victim, but was capable of destroying one's meridian points. In fact, it can kill the victim who was hit by the strange style.

“Mr, sire! Return my father!” yelling Alang crying.

Ibu Rawi and Alang approached Pak Jaya who was lifeless. Hugged the husband tightly, as if not willing to let go. Gajira and Gemala just pass by, leaving after getting what they want.

Seeing the incident, one of the residents named Mr. Damar tried to follow Gajira and Gemala. Mr. Damar is trying to figure out where the brothers are hiding.

Slowly, Mr. Damar settles from behind the tree, keeping his distance from getting too close to Gajira and Gemala. Until he reached the Valley of Kaydang, Mr. Damar lost track of them both. Yes, Gajira and Gemala have disappeared around the Valley of Kindergarten.

“Where did that go?” lirih Pak Damar spoke for himself as he swept his gaze around the Valley of Kayang. “Ahh, I better report this incident!”

Mr. Damar was still at a loss as to why the two of them had so easily disappeared. Though not a second the view of Mr. Damar apart from Gajira and Gemala.

Feeling lost track, Mr. Damar returned to the village and reported the incident to the village chief.

“Ki, Ki Daryoko's. Nawat, Ki!” exclaimed Mr. Damar entered Ki Daryoko's house without knocking on the door first.

“There's what Mr. Damar. Calm down!” ki Daryoko Sahut.

“Begini Ki—!”

With a breath of breath, Mr. Damar recounted all the events he had just seen. From the death of Pak Jaya, to the Valley of Kidang.

Mr. Damar did not dare to act alone, it was the same as taking his life if faced directly with Berandal Suro Menggolo.

Receiving a report from Mr. Damar, Ki Daryoko as the village head, appealed to the citizens to always be vigilant. The village chief sent the village elders to patrol.

Ki Daryoko also appealed to his citizens to store valuable treasures in a place that is safe enough, not to let events like Pak Jaya repeat itself.

Given that Berandal Suro Menggolo is still wandering in the village, exactly it is still around the Sidang Valley. They are very dangerous and do not hesitate to kill their victims.

***

After a few days, Tritis Village was safe from robbery, there was no rain indicating the Berandal Suro Menggolo in action. There was no news of their existence.

The villagers are working as usual. There are those who cultivate their fields and some who plant palawija in plantations. The atmosphere of the village was calm as usual days.

But three days after Pak Jaya's death, heavy rain again hit the village of Tritis— signalling a moment longer Berandal Suro Menggolo in action.

Sure enough, Gajira and Gemala run the action. The target is next to the house of Pak Jaya, the home of an elderly widow who lives alone. And it was easy for them to take away their property without a fight.

Rawi's mother who knew about the incident could not do anything. Just looking from the side window of the house while holding Alang and shedding tears. What is clear is that Ms Rawi is still traumatized by what happened to her a few days ago.

Gajira and Gemala left without anyone getting in the way after draining the old grandmother's treasure.

Ki Daryoko again got a report, if there are citizens who became victims of the robbery Berandal Suro Menggolo. By gathering several village officials, Ki Daryoko held a closed-door meeting to discuss the robbery.

Coincidentally one of the village officials there who just returned from the village next to—Desa Buntu. He heard that the White Sword College had succeeded in exterminating the Girisi Group that kidnapped the girls in the village.

“Do they want!” sahut Ki Daryoko looked at the other village officials. “Our village is far from the center of the duchy. They're afraid they won't help!”

“But, what's wrong if we try it first, Ki!” another village official.

Hearing the proposal of the village higher-ups, Ki Daryoko seemed to agree to it. The village chief sent an envoy to Buntu Village, with the intention of asking the White Sword College for help to face Berandal Suro Menggolo.

“Ki Darmo!” ki Daryoko. “I order you to ask for help to White Sword College!”

“Good, Ki!” ki Darmo Sahut. “I beg to withdraw!”

Soon Ki Darmo left the group and was about to go to White Sword College with his son—Mara.

***

Meanwhile, at White Sword College, some students were conducting a match test in front of the college courtyard. It seems that Araka leads the way of the match test by serving his subordinate students.

“Tua Araka!” exclaimed Ki Darmo entered the courtyard with his son. “There is something I want to talk to you about!”

“What's up, Ki!” sahut Elder Araka welcomes Ki Darmo. “Please enter paseban. I'll call the leader of the college!”

Ki Darmo entered the paseban and recounted all the events that had befallen his village. The leader of the college and the elders heard carefully, they did not expect to escape to watch the south side, until there was a robbery in the village of Tritis.

The leader of the White Sword School asked Araka to form a small group and immediately headed for Tritis Village. Araka himself proposed some names of talented students to help overcome Berandal Suro Menggolo.

“Teacher, let me bring Narendra and Pataction!” araka exclaims to the leader of the college.

“Alright!” say the leader of the college while stroking his beard. “Be careful you guys!”

The five of them went to Tritis Village. While Eyang Balakosa—, the leader of the college, stayed at his lodge, to give direction to his students.

After one day of moving, the five of them finally reached Tritis Village without any obstruction.  Araka's entourage was welcomed by the village officials, and was welcome to enter the paseban in front of the village head's courtyard.

“I Araka!” araka introduced herself. “And these are my two friends, Narendra and Pataction!”

“Thank you, you guys have been willing to visit this remote village!” ki Daryoko Sahut.

Ki Daryoko as the village chief told all that happened to his village to Araka and his two friends. They asked Araka and her two friends to help with the problem within a week.

If for one week there is no robbery, they are allowed to return to the White Sword College.

At the suggestion of Mr. Damar, the reconnaissance was centered in the Valley of Sidang, because Mr. Damarlah who followed and saw Berandal Suro Menggolo disappeared in that place.

“You should also be vigilant. Suro Menggolo's men are two big men!” ki Darmo warned Araka. “One carries a machete, and the other carries a sword!”

Finally they agreed to divide the three groups in reconnaissance around the Sidang Valley, where Berandal Suro Menggolo disappeared.
