you merely seek to return it
surreptitiously Gian G coie produced the
token of witch Island this is the token
of our witch Island does it not suffice
to prove my identity the woman's eyes
remained fixed on the token for a moment
before she nodded very well I grant you
24 hours if you fail to recover the
sacred artifact all of you shall be
sacrificed to the ancestors agreed but
you must promise me that if I retrieve
the artifact you will release us the
woman's gaze flitted between giu and Gan
G very well take her away and you for
shall accompany her the woman commanded
point two men then escorted giu away and
it appeared there was no way to covertly
take her with them chapter 396 separated
shortly thereafter Two Men and two women
approached the four of them fully aware
that gul's fishing rod was in Gan G's
possession yet none spoke up the woman
addressed the villagers the sacrificial
Festival shall proceed with that she
descended from the platform and
approached Gian G and her companions
byalice The Village chief of taian Gian
had initially assumed the woman held the
role of a high priestess or goddess only
to discover she was the village Chief
and her name was quite Cosmopolitan I am
Gian the four of them introduced
themselves in turn I in that case please
follow me Alice gestured for them to
accompany her and under the watchful
eyes of the villagers Gian G and her
companions followed Alice toward the
buildings upon entering the structure
they found themselves in a spacious Hall
with a long table at its Center
surrounded by a circle of chairs Alice
took her seat at one end of the table
motioning for Gian G and her companions
