“Where did this thing co from?” Roy looked up and asked Tia Dalma.
However, to his surprise, Tia Dalma was even more surprised than him. “You... you can see writing on this scroll?”
Roy was stunned. “Can’t you?”
“No!” Tia Dalma said. “In my eyes, this scroll is just a blank piece of paper. If not for the strong Abyss aura on it, I would have thrown it away long ago...”
“Really?” Roy was deep in thought. Can only demons from the Abyss see the demon writing on it?
At this mont, Tia Dalma also realized that there was a mystery behind this scroll, but she did care and continued, “I obtained this scroll from a demon about four hundred years ago!”
Upon saying this, Tia Dalma glanced at Roy. “That demon should be stronger than you. However, he is a fla demon! I don’t know who summoned him to this world. The place he appeared was on land, so he caused great destruction and brought a huge disaster to this world.”
Roy did not interrupt her and listened quietly.
“At that ti, in order to eliminate this fla demon, the church launched the Ninth Crusade. In the na of the Crusade, they secretly gathered a large number of troops and attacked the fla demon’s den!” Tia Dalma said. “Unfortunately, the church still failed. It was unable to kill the fla demon. It sacrificed a large number of soldiers but rely injured the fla demon. As a last resort, the church sought help from . The church made an agreent with that it would think of a way to lure the fla demon to the sea. Afterward, I drew upon the power of the sea to raise a tsunami to extinguish the flas of the fla demon. Only then did the church finally kill and expel the demon...”
“Oh? The church sought help from you?” Roy was a little surprised. “Aren’t you a heretical god to it? Why would the church seek help from you?”
Tia Dalma glanced at Roy. “That’s because the church couldn’t invite an angel to descend! I don’t know what thod that fla demon used to interfere with the formation of a Gate of Heaven. Four hundred years ago, the church was quite powerful, and it should have had the power to communicate with Heaven. But it didn’t expect that a few large-scale prayers failed to open a Gate of Heaven, and no high-level angel was willing to descend. Without the help of an angel, the church was unable to eliminate such a powerful fla demon, so it could only seek help from . Of course, this kind of request for help is a secret, and it was not made public by the church...”
Roy nodded in understanding.
A Gate of Heaven was actually the sa as a Gate of the Abyss. It was just a portal that could cross worlds. Generally speaking, it was necessary to have soone act as a gate-to-gate guide to be able to link up a gate with a magic formation and establish a connection with Heaven or the Abyss. This was how Roy ca to the Caribbean Sea. If he did not have Cassandra’s soul and body as the guiding coordinates, he would not have been able to open the Gate of the Abyss no matter what.
In order to forcefully open a Gate of Heaven or a Gate of the Abyss, high-level angels or high-level demons had to use their magic power. On the side of the Abyss, you had to be at least at the level of a demon lord to have the power to do so; on the side of Heaven, it was unknown what level of angel was required.
Tia Dalma said that the fla demon who ca to this world four hundred years ago was stronger than Roy, so he guessed that the fla demon might be a high-rank demon. However, Tia Dalma... Well, it should be said that Calypso, who was still a sea goddess back then, controlled the power of the sea, and the water attribute was very effective against fla demons, which was why the fla demon was killed and expelled.
However, in Roy’s impression, high-rank demons usually did not invade a world alone. This was because the magic power of high-rank demons was enough to support them summoning so demon troops to help them fight. But according to Tia Dalma’s description, that fla demon seed to be alone from beginning to end. Is it that while the fla demon had used so sort of thod to disrupt a Gate of Heaven from opening, he also eliminated the possibility of him opening a Gate of the Abyss?
Roy looked at the ‘Demon Bible: Chapter Six’ in his hand and wondered if this was the thod to create the interference.
“This scroll was left behind by that fla demon!” Tia Dalma said. “Due to the Abyss aura contained in it, if this thing were to flow out, it would be a big problem. Therefore, the church handed it over to , and I sealed it. Now that you’ve appeared, I’ll use this to exchange for the seal token you obtained from Jack Sparrow!”
Roy swayed his tail and suddenly laughed. “You handed this to because you actually want to bring it back to the Abyss, right?”
“That’s right!” Tia Dalma did not deny it. “Although I don’t know what this thing is, the Abyss aura in it is very corrosive. It’s too dangerous! My poor little octopus pet Kraken turned into a monster just by accidentally touching it... For the past four hundred years, I’ve had to expend a large amount of magic power on it to prevent it from continuing to pollute the ocean!”
“All right. I understand why you want to make a deal with a demon like so readily!” Roy was a little speechless. “You just want to use this deal to throw the burden, right?”
Tia Dalma did not answer this question and only asked, “Then, do you accept this chip?”
“Of course I accept!” Roy nodded. Although he had not read the other contents of the Demon Bible in detail, his intuition told him that this thing was absolutely not ordinary for demons. It was enough to exchange for the seal token.
However, after putting away the scroll, Roy said to Tia Dalma, “I’ll bring this thing back to the Abyss, but I’ll be helping you by bringing it back, right?”
“What exactly do you want to say?” Tia Dalma asked.
“Cassandra!” Roy pointed at Cassandra, who was staring intently at the slave traders behind him. “I helped you once, so you have to help too. Although she’s beco a lich, I want you to promise that you won’t destroy her!”
However, what Roy did not expect was that after hearing this request, Tia Dalma imdiately nodded and agreed without even thinking. “Sure!”
“Oh? So straightforward?” Roy was a little surprised. He frowned and said, “Miss Calypso, I know you are temperantal, but I don’t want you to bring this personality into this transaction! You are a god, not a demon like , so it’s not good to go back on your word!”
However, Tia Dalma snorted. “Don’t worry. I’m a sea goddess, and I protect the sea itself, not humans! Even if she is a lich, what does that have to do with ?!”
After hearing this, Roy finally understood. It seed that he was wrong. Indeed, Tia Dalma had said that she did not want things of the Abyss to remain in this world, but Cassandra was not from the Abyss. Although she was born from Roy’s demon blood, she was still an undead creature.
To Tia Dalma, the addition of an undead creature in the sea would not affect her at all. As long as this undead creature did not offend her authority of the sea...
Shaking his head, Roy took out the silver coin pendant that he had obtained from Jack Sparrow and handed it to Tia Dalma.
With the seal token in hand, Tia Dalma snorted coldly. “Jack Sparrow... As the successor of the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, he actually dared to lose such an important thing. I must punish him!”
“Oh?!” Roy asked with interest. “Dear Miss, how do you plan on punishing him? Believe , I’ll definitely be happy to see it!”
Tia Dalma suddenly smiled charmingly and poked Roy’s demon wings with her finger. “What do you think of letting him be a pauper for the rest of his life? From now on, he’ll have no fate with money, and all the treasures he finds will be lost...”
Roy clapped his hands. “That’s great! It’s happily decided then!”
Although Tia Dalmon was now sealed in a mortal body, she could still use so power. When Tia Dalma said that, far away in Tortuga Port, Jack Sparrow, who was dead drunk in a stable, suddenly shuddered in his sleep and woke up. But after finding nothing wrong, he mumbled and fell asleep again. Not long after he fell asleep, a stablehand, who ca to feed the horses, noticed him. This stablehand carefully approached the soundly sleeping Jack Sparrow and started touching all over him...
In the end, the stablehand stole the last two pound sterling banknotes that Jack Sparrow had exchanged with gold bars...
Perhaps he would never have imagined that after removing the curse of the gold of misfortune, he would still not be able to escape his unlucky fate...
