"Where did this thing come from?" Roy turned his head and asked Tia Dalma.
Unexpectedly, Tia Dalma was even more surprised than him. She asked, "You … You can see words on this scroll?"
Roy was stunned and asked, "Can't you see them?"
"I can't!" 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. Could it be that only demons from the Abyss can see the demon characters on it?
Tia Dalma also understood that there might be other mysteries to this scroll, but she did not care and continued. "I obtained this scroll from a demon about four hundred years ago!"
At this point, Tia Dalma looked at Roy. "That demon should be stronger than you, but he's a flame demon! I don't know who summoned him to this world. He appeared on land, so he also caused tremendous damage and brought a huge disaster to this world. "
Roy did not interrupt her and listened quietly.
"At that time, in order to eliminate this flame demon, the church launched the Ninth Crusade. In the name of the crusade, they secretly gathered a large number of troops and raided the flame demon's nest!" Tia Dalma said. "Unfortunately, the church still failed. They failed to kill the flame demon and sacrificed a large number of soldiers, but they only injured the flame demon. As a last resort, the church sought help from me. They agreed with me that they would think of a way to lure the flame demon to the beach, and then I would use the power of the sea to raise a tsunami to extinguish the flames on the flame demon's body. Only then did I finally kill and expel him …"
"Huh? The church sought help from you? "Roy was a little surprised." Aren't you a pagan god to them? Why would they seek help from you? "
Tia Dalma looked at Roy. "That's because the church can't invite an angel to descend! I don't know what method that flame demon used to interfere with the formation of the Gates of Heaven. Four hundred years ago, the church was quite powerful, and it should have had the power to communicate with Heaven. But unexpectedly, several large-scale prayers failed to open the Gates of Heaven, and no high-level angel was willing to descend. Without the help of an angel, it was impossible for the church to eliminate such a powerful flame demon, so they could only seek help from me. Of course, this request for help was secret and not made public by the church … "
Roy nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Gates of Heaven and the Gates of the Abyss should be the same. They were actually portals across worlds. Generally speaking, there had to be someone on the other side of the door as a guide before they could communicate with the magic formation and establish a connection with Heaven or the Abyss. This was how Roy came to the Pirates of the Caribbean world this time. Without Cassandra's soul and body as the guiding coordinates, he would not have been able to open the Gates of the Abyss no matter what.
In order to forcefully open the Gates of Heaven or the Gates of the Abyss, high-level angels or high-level demons had to use their magic power. In the Abyss, they had to be at least at the demon lord level to have such power. And on Heaven, he did not know what level of angels were needed.
Tia Dalma said that the flame demon that came to this world four hundred years ago was stronger than Roy, so he guessed that the flame demon might be a high-rank demon. But Tia Dalma … Well, it should be said that Calypso, who was still the sea goddess at that time, controlled the power of the sea. In terms of attributes, water had a great restraining effect on flame demons. This was also the reason why the flame demon was eventually killed and expelled.
However, in Roy's impression, high-rank demons often did not invade a world alone because the magic power of high-rank demons was enough to support them summoning some demon armies to help them fight. But according to Tia Dalma's description, the flame demon seemed to be alone from beginning to end.
Could it be that the flame demon used some method to interfere with the opening of the Gates of Heaven and also eliminated the possibility of him opening the Gates of the Abyss?
Roy looked at the Demon Bible Chapter 6 in his hand and thought, Is this the method to create interference?
"This scroll was left behind by that flame demon!" Tia Dalma said, "Due to the aura of the Abyss contained in it, something big will happen if this thing gets out. Therefore, the Church handed it to me, and I've been sealing it. Now that you've appeared, use this thing to exchange for the seal token you obtained from Jack Sparrow!"
Roy wagged his tail and suddenly laughed. "You gave this thing to me because you want me 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 on it is very corrosive. It's too dangerous! My poor octopus pet, Kraken, turned into a monster because he accidentally came into contact with this thing … In the past four hundred years, I had to spend a lot of magic power on this thing to prevent it from continuing to pollute the ocean! "
"Okay, I understand why you're planning to make a deal with a demon like me so readily!" Roy was speechless. "You just want to use this deal to throw the burden to me, right?"
Tia Dalma did not answer and only asked, "Then, do you accept this bargaining chip?"
"Of course! I accept! " Roy nodded. Although he had not looked at the other contents of the Demon Bible in detail, his intuition told him that this thing was definitely extraordinary 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 what I want to say is that I'm helping you by bringing it back, right?"
"What are you trying to say?" Tia Dalma asked.
"Cassandra!" Roy pointed at Cassandra, who had been staring at the slave traders behind him, and said to Tia Dalma, "I helped you once, so you have to help me too. Although she's become a lich, I want you to promise me that you can't destroy her!"
However, what Roy did not expect was that after hearing this request, Tia Dalma immediately nodded and agreed without even thinking. "Okay!"
"Huh? So straightforward? " Roy was a little surprised and frowned. "Ms. Calypso, I know you're moody, but I don't want you to bring this personality into the transaction! You're a god, not a demon like me. It's not good to go back on your word! "
Tia Dalma snorted coldly. "Don't worry. I'm the sea goddess, and I protect the ocean itself, not humans! Even if she's a lich, what does that have to do with me?! "
Hearing this, Roy finally understood. It seemed like he had misunderstood. Indeed, Tia Dalma had said before that she did not want things of the Abyss to stay in this world, but Cassandra was not from the Abyss. Although she was produced from Roy's demon blood, she was essentially just an undead creature.
To Tia Dalma, an additional undead creature in this ocean had no effect on her at all. As long as this undead creature did not offend her authority over the sea …
Shaking his head, Roy took out the silver coin pendant he had obtained from Jack Sparrow and handed it to Tia Dalma.
Holding this seal token, Tia Dalma snorted coldly. "Jack Sparrow … As the successor of the Pirate King of the Caribbean Sea, he actually dared to lose such an important thing. I have to punish him!"
"Oh?!" Roy asked with interest. "Honorable Madam, how do you plan to punish him? Believe me, I'll definitely be happy to see it! "
Tia Dalma suddenly smiled charmingly. She stretched out her finger and poked Roy's demon wings. "What do you think about making him a pauper for the rest of his life? From now on, he will have no fate with money, and any treasures he finds will eventually go to waste … "
Roy clapped his hands. "That's great. It's decided!"
Although Tia Dalma was now sealed in a mortal body, she could still use some magic power. When Tia Dalma said this, far away in Tortuga Port, Jack Sparrow, who was already drunk and lying in a stable, suddenly shivered in his sleep and woke up. But after finding that nothing was wrong, he muttered and fell asleep again. Not long after he fell asleep, a groom who came to feed the horses found him. This groom carefully approached the sleeping Jack Sparrow and touched him everywhere …
In the end, the last two pound notes hidden in the hat that Jack Sparrow had exchanged for gold bars was stolen by the coachman …
Perhaps he would never have dreamed that after removing the curse of Roy's Gold of Misfortune, he would still not be able to get rid of his bad luck …
