Bab 285: ALL IS LOST DUE TO A STUPID BROTHER
ALL IS LOST DUE TO A STUPID BROTHER
"Why are there so many Bullies here? Can he multiply?" Golrimon asked as the Bullies and the monstrous forms with crawly hands tore through the skeleton army that went to arrest him.
Golrimon knew what he had to do, so he ran.
------
"Your majesty, the trap that we set for the Bully has failed", Golrimon cried desperately as he reported what happened in the mountains to the king.
"Fools, what happened?" the king asked him.
"The Bully at first took the bait and was trapped in our magic arraye bone trap. Then he escaped", Golrimon explained to the king.
"Morons, I've prepared a very long time to create that magic arraye that can trap the Bully. He couldn't escape it even if he is a god", the king asked but he wasn't answered.
"Where is my idiot brother?" the king asked Golrimon.
"The.. the prince was killed as he tried to chase the Bully", Golrimon replied to the king.
"What? Didn't I tell all of you to stay at the magic arraye no matter what happens and notify me when you trapped the Bully?" the king asked Golrimon.
"The prince insisted on arresting the Bully himself", Golrimon replied.
"Moron, why can't he follow simple plans", the king lamented and complained.
"What should we do now?" Golrimon asked his king.
"We leave this mountain now. We are not the match of the Bully and his bodyguards without the magic trap. This whole incident smells fishy", the king replied to his advisor.
"It is too late for that, Kolgane", the Bully said to the king suddenly when he appeared before him.
"How did you get here? This sacred grove conceals our magic, it conceals all magic, you should never have found this place," Kolgane, the King of Skeletons asked.
"You are right. I've searched the entire mountain range, yet I couldn't find this damned skeleton den", I told Kolgane.
This place was a secret hideout of the skeletons. There was a special magic here that concealed their magic. Even Sara's drones couldn't detect them here.

[Earlier before we exited the Temple of Dragons]
"There is something fishy about those scum running around the mountain", Sara told me.
"What is fishy?" I asked.
"These scums are preparing a trap at the plateau in front of us, waiting for us to land there out of curiosity", she replied to me.
"How do these scums know we will fall for their trap?" I asked.
"That is a logical conclusion. We are surrounded by blinding fog in the mountains. We would naturally gravitate toward a path that is clear of the fog", she replied to me.
"Setting an easy trap for us isn't something that deserves to be called fishy by you. This is child's play to you", I told Sara.
"There is something more. The number of scums appearing and disappearing from my scans does not match", Sara told me.
"What are you getting at? Some of these scums disappeared from your scan?" I asked in surprise.
"Either that or they found a way to hide from my scans", she said.
"That is not possible. These lowly scums do not have magic that could hide from your drone's scans", I told her.
"Either that or they escaped into some sanctuary that could escape my scanning", she replied to me.
"Well, we should find that sanctuary", I said to her.
------
"Then how did you find us?" Golrimon asked me in surprise.
"I followed you idiot here, of course," I replied to him to his regret and shock.
"Golrimon, you idiot?" Kolgane shouted angrily to his advisor.
"How did you escape from my bone trap? Nobody can escape from that magic arraye, not even you. The Queen went to great lengths to prepare a magic like that", Kolgane asked me.
"It is true. That trap is powerful. If I got caught up there, it would be impossible to break free from it", I replied to him.
Kolgane prepared a powerful magic arraye in the mountains to ensnare me. He already knew I would be leaving the Temple of Dragons soon, so he prepared a trap there for me.
The mountain ranges of Melling usually suffered from heavy fog during this time of the year. Kolgane cast special magic across the mountain range to draw all the fog in the mountains to envelop the Temple of Dragons.
So, when we came out from the temple, we were obscured by thick dense fog.
"Then how did you escape?" Kolgane asked me angrily.
"That is not the interesting question. What I want to know is why did you prepare an elaborate trap at the plateau and expect me to fall into it?", I asked Kolgane.
"That is not for me to explain to you", he replied to me.
"Then let me guess you tell me if I'm wrong", I told Kolgane.
"You can try", he replied to me.
"Your scouts must have heard about my people going around asking about the Temple of Dragons, so you created a scheme to make me go there thinking that I would die in the temple", I told Kolgane.
"Yes, if you want to die so I'll lend you a hand. I have the map to the Temple of Dragons", Kolgane told me.
"Let me guess again. You left a copy of the map to the Temple of Dragons in the palace of Melling for me to find it, thinking that I would find the palace in Melling eventually?" I asked.
"Yes, once you killed everyone in Melling you should find the map hidden in the palace", Kolgane elaborated.
"But I didn't find the map. That Skeleton King wannabe gave it to me", I told him.
"What?" Kolgane asked as he directed the question to Golrimon.
"The prince knew about your plans and decided to keep the map to himself. He wanted to have something, a kind of leverage, on him in case the enemy breaks into the palace and harms him", Golrimon replied to the king.
"That bastard of a brother ruined all my plan", Kolgane complained and lamented angrily and disappointedly.
