On the way to Spain, Roy was already prepared to start a war with the Church of Spain.
He had just destroyed a squadron of the Spanish Invincible Fleet, causing great panic. Now, he was about to go to Spain. Just thinking about it, it was obvious how great an impact this would have on all of Spain.
The current Spain had already entered a period of decline. Their position as the maritime hegemon had gradually been replaced by the United Kingdom, and their control over their colonies was constantly weakening.
It could be said that the current British were much smarter than the Spanish. At least, there was a huge difference between the two sides in their attitude toward Roy, the demon. The Spanish were driven by religious beliefs and launched a fearless war against Roy, but the British pretended that no demon had ever appeared. They knew that Roy had settled on an island in the Caribbean Sea, but they did not care at all. Even the Royal Navy's fleet never approached the waters where Roy was, making it impossible for Roy to find a target even if he wanted to plunder the souls of the Royal Navy.
After using pirates to attack the Spanish, the British planned to use demons again …
But this time, they did not get what they wanted. In fact, after the destruction of this squadron of the Invincible Fleet, Spain was also shocked. Even though the fanatical believers clamored to send a stronger army to slaughter the demon, the nobles realized that if they continued to fight against Demon Osiris, the Spanish might perish before the British rose!
They did not have so many Invincible Fleets that the demon could destroy …
Therefore, this time, not only did they forcefully suppress the voices of the fanatical believers, but they also specially investigated the original identity of the lich, Cassandra.
When they found out that Lich Cassandra was born because of a wrong witch hunting operation, the nobles in Spain hated the church to the core! The innocent woman who was burned to death as a witch might have died, but her daughter had escaped and even attracted a demon from hell. If he had known that things would develop like this, he might as well not have hunted witches in the first place …
While investigating Cassandra's identity, they also found Cassandra's father, the despicable drunkard who had falsely accused his wife. The nobles did not dare to criticize the church's actions, but together with the church, they tacitly vented their anger on this man. They captured Cassandra's father and hanged him like a pirate!
The corpse of this villain was placed at the port of Spain's largest port city and hung in the most conspicuous position for an entire week. Not only that, but the news of the execution of this man was also posted all over the country.
The ruling class of Spain was afraid. Of course, they knew that Demon Osiris was helping Lich Cassandra take revenge. They had already guessed that there might be a demon contract between the demon and the lich, so it was very likely that the demon and the lich would return to Spain. In order to prevent a war with the demon, they had no choice but to use this method to convey their attitude.
Yes, look, that bastard of a father of yours has been hanged by us. Your revenge has been avenged, so don't bring your demon master here anymore, okay?
This attitude was indeed conveyed. The moment Roy and Cassandra set foot on Spanish soil, Cassandra saw the execution notice. She recognized her father from the portrait and stood in front of the notice for a long time without saying anything.
In fact, Cassandra had yet to find her hometown because she did not know the geographical location of her hometown at all. This was only a small town closest to the coast of Spain.
And in this town where the notice was posted, all the houses had already closed. In this town of tens of thousands of people, there was not even a dog to be seen. People hid in their homes, shivering, and kept praying, praying that the demon and the lich would not enter this town.
"Forget it. Let's go back, Master!" After a long time, Cassandra said to Roy, "Since he's dead, my hatred has disappeared!"
During this period of time, the power of hatred in Cassandra had dissipated a lot with the completion of her revenge, so Roy did not say anything after feeling her emotions.
With Cassandra's words, the demon contract signed by Roy and Cassandra suddenly appeared and slowly burned in the flames of hell. This meant that the contract between Roy and Cassandra had been completed.
Without the demon contract, the repulsive force of the world on Roy suddenly increased. Roy had no choice but to burn his magic power again to resist this repulsive force.
He estimated that with the current repulsive force, he could only stay in this world for two more weeks at most.
Therefore, Roy brought Cassandra back to Icebound Island. He planned to find a way to strengthen Cassandra before he left.
Of course, he did not think of consuming souls to make items. There was no need for this. He only searched for some mysterious legends about black magic in this world and then collected some items with magic power in this world.
Finally, Roy found a ruby with the power of a curse and a few finger bones of vampires, which the pirates said were vampires. He combined these things together, made a staff, and gave it to Cassandra.
During this time, although Roy did not deliberately plunder souls, some souls still suddenly appeared in front of him every day.
Roy knew that the demon gold he had left in this world was starting to take effect …
In fact, the Osiris Mark on the demon gold took effect faster than Roy had imagined. On the night that the pirates brought by Tia Dalma left, they sent Roy more than twenty souls!
That was because, as expected, internal strife broke out not long after the pirates left. Some pirates who had obtained less gold secretly joined forces, killed half of the people on the pirate ships, seized the gold in their hands, and divided it up again.
Whether it was the power of the curse of misfortune on the gold that caused these pirates to die, or whether it was simply because of human jealousy and greed, even Roy could not tell.
The pirates only knew that the gold had the power to cause misfortune, but they did not know the effect of the Osiris Mark. They did not know that the gold would make their souls fall back into the control of the demon after death. They were already dazzled by the gold and wealth, and they could not think about other problems.
As the remaining pirates reached the shore, the gold quickly circulated out. It was impossible for the pirates to tell others that the gold would bring misfortune because they were afraid that people would refuse to let them use the gold to buy things because they were afraid of the curse. Therefore, the pirates tacitly concealed this secret and only claimed to people that this was a reward from the demon after they offered the murderer.
This declaration made the timid pirates who had not dared to go beat their chests and stamp their feet in regret. The pirates who had successfully brought back the gold had become truly successful people. Even though many of them had been unlucky because of the gold, they still kept bragging about this experience in front of outsiders. They told people about the huge frozen mountain range where the demon had settled and about the people they had seen turned into ghouls by Lich Cassandra. Even though they had not really seen the scene of Cassandra turning into a ghoul, they still bragged about it, which made people admire their imagination.
The gold with the snowflake mark quickly circulated out, and some people even collected this gold as capital to show off. Even though some of the people who came into contact with this gold died because of bad luck, people did not associate it with curses at all.
Wealth would make people crazy. Perhaps it would take a long time before the world would discover the truth about this gold of misfortune …
And at this time, Roy quietly left the Pirates of the Caribbean world, only leaving behind a legend about the demon's treasure to the people of this world. Perhaps one day, someone would attempt to use this legend to summon the name of Demon Osiris through a black magic ritual again … Who knew? Perhaps one day, someone would attempt to use this legend to summon the name of Demon Osiris …
