KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Poison

“Good Valley, now you have mastered various potions. I'm sure you'll become a true swordsman!” praise the teacher.

“Thank you teacher, this is all also thanks to the help of the teacher,” Sahut Manah Valley bowed her body.

And the third piece of bamboo has been filled. The Valley of Manah resumed its task of sweeping the college grounds. The young man stepped out of the kitchen along with Mbok Pani who was returning from the market.

“Emm here Mbok, Auxiliary Valley!” said Manah Valley walking closer to Mbok Pani.

“No need to let, the symbols are still strong!” sahut Mbok Pani refused Manah Valley assistance.

“Already let Valley alone bring, Mbok!” Manah Valley forced while welcoming sacks carried by Mbok Pani.

“It's done Mbok, Valley put it on the table. Emm, Mbok, Valley to go to college!” manah Valley said shortly after putting the sack on the table near the fireplace.

“Still yes le!” sahut Mbok Pani's.

The day before noon, the sun was shining very hot, the Valley of Manah swung both hands to sweep the courtyard with a worn broomstick.

The young man looked around the college courtyard and occasionally dropped his gaze into the quiet-looking learning hall with the door tightly shut.

“Tumben quiet learning hall, what the prankster did not follow the material!” ogre.

Ki Tunggul hints at college students for a break, because the first material has been completed. College students are given time until Ki Tunggul returns to the learning hall.

The college students rest. While releasing fatigue, they chatted with each other on the passes provided in the courtyard. However, instead of resting, Ni Luh even approached the Manah Valley.

“Hei Valley. I heard you got punished for your actions to Wanapati!” ni Luh approached the Valley of Manah.

“Emm anu, uh, yes Ni Luh, I got the law from the Stump teacher!” sahut Manah Valley with a nervous tone that did not dare to look at Ni Luh's face.

“I'm sorry, I hope you can go through this punishment yes!” ni Luh continued, which was answered with a nod to the head of the Manah Valley.

Ni Luh Jayanti was a friend of Manah Valley while in college. The long-haired girl's parents died protecting her from Ki Badra's attack. And before being taken away by Ki Badra, Ki Gendon managed to seize Ni Luh and bring him to the Sacred Soul College.

However, what makes it different is, Ni Luh was brought to the college when he was five years old. At that time, Manah Valley had been in college first and was seven years old, so they were two years behind.

Ki Badra Ancala is an enemy of Ki Gendon. They were both brothers and sisters and both studied at the Kidang Valley College. However, Ki Badra strayed from the teachings of goodness and chose shortcuts to gain strength.

Ki Badra always troublemaking with his minions. Kidnapping young men and children, men or women, to serve as adjutants or experiment materials of black magic.

There are also those who ask for power to Ki Badra, in return for being a follower and obedient to Ki Badra. Even the one-eyed old man did not hesitate to rob even poor villagers.

“Oh yes Ni Luh, anu, I don't seem to see Wanapati, does he not follow the material?” exclaim Manah Valley ventured to stare at his interlocutor.

“Iya Valley, today Wanapati does not follow the material. Jayadipa said, Wanapati has a fever, her body is hot and shivering since yesterday!” answer Ni Luh.

“Emm, has anyone checked it yet?” The Manah Valley was curious and asked again.

“Yesterday afternoon, Physician Lee tried to check it, but he did not know the cause of the disease, so only given a sedative herb!” sahut Ni Luh explained.

Just a moment ago...

Yesterday afternoon Wanapati, Jayadipa and Nata tried to disturb the Manah Valley which was cleaning up the library.

The three of them slipped through the medicinal plant garden behind the kitchen to head for the library. However, unfortunate for Wanapati, accidentally the young man was bitten by a snake that was passing in front of him.

“Hus, hus, hus, go you fucking snake!” jayadipa exclaimed as he chased away the snake with a dry twig not far from him.

“Wanapati, are you okay?” tanya Nata looked worried.

However, Wanapati only whined to hold her right leg. Jayadipa and Nata intend to bring Wanapati back to his room, after finding out his friend can only whine in pain.

“Nata, we better take Wanapati to the room, before anyone sees!” jayadipa turned his head around.

Finally, Wanapati was laid in her room. The two friends were confused to see Wanapati's body increasingly pale.

Wanapati shivered in the cold even though her body temperature was hot. His eyes were closed, with a hint of black under his eye bags.

“Teacher, teacher, teacher! Wanapati teacher!” yelled Jayadipa entered the hut Ki Tunggul without knocking on the door first. “Please Wanapati teacher!”

“Iya Jayadipa, what's wrong with Wanapati!” suhut Ki Tunggul's.

“Wanapati teacher, Wanapati her body is pale, she shivers cold!”

“What's with Wanapati, Jayadipa?” Elders Anggada pacified Jayadipa.

Instantly the teacher and student ran towards Wanapati's room. Ki Tunggul was surprised to see the state of Wanapati that looked bad.

“Jeez, you why Wanapati? Jayadipa quickly get Physician Lee here!” ki Tunggul to Jayadipa.

“Why with this child?” lirih Anggada frowned.

Jayadipa ran towards the residence of Physician Lee. The house is not too far from the location of the college, only a difference of a few tens of meters.

Physician Lee was a medicine expert, the slender-eyed old man was still a descendant of Tiong Hoa, so there was no doubt of his ability in terms of medicine.

“Bib, Physician Lee, help me Bib. My friend at Bib's snake bite, his body shivering. Come Bib, go to college, Bib!” jayadipa exclaimed when he reached the house of Physician Lee without knocking on the door first.

Jayadipa and Doctor Lee rush to college and enter Wanapati's room. Doctor Lee tried to grab Wanapati's left wrist, feeling Wanapati's pulse.

The opening of Wanapati's eyes were slightly heavy, looking reddened due to the snake's poison effect.

“How are my students, Doctor Lee? Can Wanapati be cured?” exclaimed Ki Tunggul asked filled with worry for the safety of his students.

“Iya healer, how are my students?” Elder Anggada also looked worried.

“This poison has spread throughout Wanapati's body, I can't treat it. I give you a pill for tranquilizers, so that Wanapati no longer shiver!” exclaimed Physician Lee by giving a few black pills to Ki Tunggul.

Now it's...

“Ya already Valley, I went to the kitchen first yes!” ni Luh said as he passed to the college kitchen.

The Manah Valley had yet to complete its punishment, the young man was still sweeping the courtyard as it had just been stopped by the arrival of Ni Luh.

“Should I visit Wanapati!” lirih.

The door was knocked on the Manah Valley several times, but there was no reply from inside the room yet. The young man decided to go back to the courtyard completing his task. However, just as the Manah Valley was about to turn around, a voice came from inside Wanapati's room.

“Hoi kacung kampret, what do you need here!” jayadipa said as he opened the door.
