"Since you guys could come here to talk to me, I guess you could already confirm that I do have the ability to allow you to go through the Cursed Barrier. However, there are many of you in Lantisde, and I can only provide a limited number of mud casings periodically. Hence, I cannot promise how long I will need to take to give all Lantisdeans this freedom," Mag said to the high priest with equal solemnity. "But, I can promise from today onward, Lantisdeans will no longer be harassed by the Nether Sharks."

"Lantisde will alway be remember your kindness." The high priest placed his hand across his chest and bowed.

Gina and the rest of the merfolk also bowed with him.

"Please don't mention it. This is all the guidance of God." A smile appeared on Mag's face. This was a very successful negotiation.
