After a while, the guard returned and said, "Our High Priest has agreed to meet with you, but you must leave the Ancestor Meat and the magic circle behind."
"What? Leave the Ancestor Meat and the magic circle? That won't do," Matilda exclaimed.
Enzo thought for a moment and said, "We can talk to the High Priest first and see if there are other solutions."
They followed the guard into the Radiance Temple. The interior of the temple was lavishly decorated, filled with an air of mystery.
They arrived in a grand hall and met the High Priest of the Radiance Temple. He was an imposing figure, seated on a throne, gazing down at Enzo and the others.
"Why do you seek our assistance?" the High Priest asked.
Enzo explained about the Ancestor Meat, the magic circle, and the dangers they were encountering. The High Priest listened intently, deep in thought.
