Although he could not figure out what was going on with the black gas on the gold, Roy did not stop there.
He made a few more trips and mined a large amount of gold ore from the mine. Then he smelted, purified, and finally cast them into gold bars.
After working for more than a week, Roy finally smelted a total of 1.2 tons of gold bars. Each gold bar was about 100 grams, and there were more than ten thousand of these 1.2 tons of gold bars. After stacking these ten thousand gold bars together, even Roy felt dazzled.
There was still a lot of gold ore in the mine, and the gold ore that Roy mined was not even one percent. In other words, if necessary, he could come here continuously to obtain gold.
Although gold bars were useless to Roy, don't forget that most of the other worlds that demons went to were human worlds, and in the human world, money was omnipotent!
It could bring happiness to people, but it could also bring corruption to people. A mature demon had to know how to use the power of money.
Demons were already very powerful creatures, and a demon who knew how to use money was even more powerful …
Just like his weapon, Frostmourne, Roy stored these gold bars in the system space and could take them out at any time when he needed them.
After that, Roy left his residence with Fat Tiger and headed for the nearest altar.
It was said to be the closest, but it was actually about two hundred kilometers away. The middle Abyss was still boundless, but there were far fewer demons living on this level than in the upper Abyss, so there were fewer altars here.
When Roy rushed to the altar, a Gate of the Abyss opened.
This seemed to be another war summon. When a Gate of the Abyss opened, it was abnormally stable and lasted for a long time, which meant that the summoner who activated the summon had very powerful magic power.
With such a stable and lasting Gate of the Abyss open, the middle-rank demons gathered near the altar entered one after another. Moreover, demons continuously rushed in because they smelled the strong smell of blood coming from the other side of the Gate of the Abyss.
Roy did not move. When he was in the Heroes of Might and Magic world, he had already understood that it was definitely a high-rank demon or even a demon lord who summoned a large number of demons to participate in the war.
Although Roy had now promoted to middle-rank demon, and his status had improved compared to when he was a low-rank demon, the problem of status was secondary. The real problem was the opponents he had to face!
Places that could accommodate demons on a large scale were generally high-magic worlds because only in high-magic worlds could demons stay longer, build strongholds, and summon an endless stream of troops to wage war. Although there were many opportunities to harvest a large number of souls in war, it was also the most dangerous. Even a high-rank demon like Xeron had been killed and expelled under the siege of the dragons, so a warrior class like a middle-rank demon was definitely not much better.
Roy felt that even if he wanted to go to such a high-magic plane, he would at least have to wait until he reached the high-rank demon level. Firstly, he had enough strength to protect himself, and secondly, he could guarantee his interests.
Therefore, Roy waited quietly and watched the middle-rank demons driven by their bloodthirsty nature disappear into the Gate of the Abyss one by one.
Not long after, the nearby middle-rank demons were swept away, and it became much quieter. This was good. Roy continued to wait near the altar, and no demons came to disturb him. However, he did not know how long it would be until the next Gate of the Abyss activated.
Just as Roy was thinking about this, Fat Tiger, who was lying at his feet, suddenly pricked up his ears.
It looked like it was about to doze off, but it suddenly woke up. Roy noticed its movements and felt a little strange. He knew that Fat Tiger's hearing was sharp, and it might have heard something.
"Roar …" Fat Tiger let out a low growl in the direction of the altar, reminding Roy. Roy realized that the sound Fat Tiger heard might be coming from the altar, so he held his breath and listened carefully.
Sure enough, when he listened carefully, Roy heard a faint sound coming from the altar.
"Strange, why is there a sound?" Puzzled, Roy jumped onto the altar.
After reaching the altar, the sound became louder, but it was still difficult to hear clearly.
"My … soul … curse … revenge … hell …"
Roy could not hear these intermittent words clearly, but he felt that it seemed to be someone … someone who had encountered misfortune in a certain world. Because of the hatred in his heart, he did not hesitate to use the power of demons to take revenge. He might have made some vicious oath involving hell and demons, so much so that it reached the Abyss and was heard by Roy!
Although he knew that humans would sometimes take the initiative to sell their souls in exchange for the help of demons, this was the first time Roy had encountered it.
The problem now was that the person who made the oath did not seem to have magic power. Because of the oath, his voice could reach the Abyss, but because he did not have magic power, he could not open a Gate of the Abyss and summon demons.
Roy was speechless. What should I do now?
If I can't open a Gate of the Abyss, demons can't help you! You're hopeless. Just wait for death!
Roy did not know if he was right, but the voice suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a pitch-black ball of soul light that suddenly appeared on the altar!
Roy was stunned when he saw this soul. What's going on?
Subconsciously, Roy walked closer, came to the center of the magic formation on the altar, and sized up this fallen soul.
He did not rashly come into contact with this soul. Logically speaking, a fallen soul that suddenly appeared in the Abyss was basically free. But for some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed in Roy's mind.
The soul went to hell!
There really is such a situation!
Roy had always thought that the so-called souls going to heaven and hell were simply nonsense made up by people, just a propaganda method of religion. He had harvested thousands of souls so far, and he knew very well that after souls were exposed, they would gradually dissipate with the passage of time. He had never seen a soul ascend to heaven.
The only one he had seen rise was Gabriel's soul fragment, but the archangel had taken it back on his own initiative, so it did not have any reference value.
Now that this fallen soul had entered the Abyss on its own initiative, it refreshed Roy's understanding of souls.
Roy could not help but calm down and feel it, wanting to see what was different about this soul.
When Roy listened carefully, he immediately found that this soul was different from the fallen souls he had harvested in the past. In this soul, there was a voice that kept echoing.
"Revenge … Revenge … Revenge …"
This voice was like a murmur, repeating itself without pause.
Most of the time, a fallen soul was caused by greed and desire in human nature. However, this fallen soul seemed to be caused by intense hatred. This hatred seemed to have become a kind of obsession that lingered around this soul.
Now, Roy understood why this soul appeared in the Abyss.
At present, this hateful fallen soul was the sacrifice of the summoner. This summoner did not have any magic power and could not open a Gate of the Abyss, but his soul could fall into the Abyss of Hell on its own initiative. His goal was to seek help from demons.
Generally speaking, even if humans were in trouble, they would only place their hopes on gods and the like. They would pray for the help of gods and not demons, but the owner of this soul was clearly in despair. He might have sought help from gods and angels, but they did not respond at all.
Now, Roy had two choices. One was to let go of this fallen soul and not accept this sacrifice. This way, this soul would stay on this altar until it dissipated and see if other demons would take it over.
The other choice was to accept this soul. Once he accepted this soul, it meant accepting the sacrifice, and the contract would be established. Roy might have to go to the world where this soul was and help him fulfill his wish of revenge.
This was the privilege of a soul that took the initiative to offer sacrifices …
After thinking about it, Roy decided to accept this sacrifice. In any case, he was planning to go to other worlds to obtain souls, so perhaps it would be good to go to the world where this soul was.
Roy stretched out his hand and grabbed the soul.
The next moment, a demon contract appeared in front of Roy. In the flames, the contract showed the contents of the contract and the name of the owner of this soul.
The owner of this soul was called Cassandra. Yes, it was obvious from the name that she was a woman. In the contract, her request was to kill all the murderers who had persecuted her.
Roy carefully read the contents of the contract and found that there was no problem. He reached out and pressed his hand on the contract, and the contract showed his true demon name.
Signing his name meant that the contract was established. The moment the contract was established, Roy felt a suction force coming from under his feet. It was the magic formation beneath his feet absorbing his magic power!
Seemingly sensing the establishment of the demon contract, the magic formation on the altar located the world she came from through Cassandra's soul. Then it borrowed Roy's magic power to activate the magic formation!
The Gate of the Abyss opened, and Roy entered with Fat Tiger.
However, when the fog of the Abyss in front of him disappeared, Roy fell directly into the vast sea!
The place where he appeared did not seem right. He was actually in the sea, and the worst thing was that it was a stormy weather with lightning, thunder, and monstrous waves!
There was also a small corpse of a girl floating in the waves …
