Chapter 117 Tia Dalma

Although the uninhabited island that Roy chose was not large, there was a rather tall mountain on it. From the looks of it, this island was not a coral island born from the sea but formed by the drifting and s.h.i.+fting of tectonic plates.

When Roy saw this mountain, an idea struck him, and he used his magic power to freeze the entire mountain.

Then, at the foot of this mountain, he created a huge throne made of ice!

Sitting satisfied on the throne, Roy stabbed Frostmourne into the ground. From today onward, this place will be called the Frozen Throne! Hmm… The Black Frozen Throne!

This could be considered a bit of wicked fun. It was mainly because after Roy discovered that his demon blood could actually create a lich, he felt that he might really be able to find a world where Arthas existed one day… This Frozen Throne established in the Pirates of the Caribbean world could be considered as a preview in advance…

He would leave the Frozen Throne behind and hand this island over to Ca.s.sandra when he left. The people from the church and the Inquisition who burned her mother to death were already dead, and the pirates who killed her would also be caught before long. Ca.s.sandra’s revenge would soon be completed, and Roy had to return to the Abyss eventually. However, Ca.s.sandra could not leave with him and could only stay in this world for the time being, so Roy felt that it was necessary to find her a place to rest.

Ca.s.sandra’s magic power attribute was the exact same as Roy’s. When Roy left, her magic power would still be able to maintain this Frozen Throne.

Now, Ca.s.sandra had grown into a qualified lich after absorbing large amounts of life force, and she already had the strength to protect herself. Because her phylactery, which was her soul, was in Roy’s hands, Roy had already made a box that could preserve her soul for a long time. This way, even if she were really killed, she would revive after some time. Although there might be a period of weakness, as long as Roy did not destroy her soul, she would not die in this world. As time pa.s.sed, as long as Ca.s.sandra could absorb enough life force, she would become stronger, and perhaps she could really grow into a lich king here.

Of course, the premise here was that the more powerful existences, such as the sea G.o.ddess Calypso, would not do anything to Ca.s.sandra. Roy did not know if this existence that was regarded as a G.o.d could really eliminate a lịch.

In any case, Roy still wanted to protect Ca.s.sandra as much as possible. After all, she was the first lich that Roy could summon.

Yes, she could be summoned. It might not work in the Abyss since the Abyss rejected almost all non-demon creatures. Perhaps Ca.s.sandra would not be able to enter the Abyss, but maybe in other worlds, Roy could summon her through the connection between Ca.s.sandra’s phylactery and her body. Roy had such a thought when he took the seal from Jack Sparrow. The only person he knew that could pose a threat to Ca.s.sandra was Calypso, so he planned to let her stay sealed forever.

However, Roy felt that if he were Calypso, he would absolutely not sit back and watch a demon bring the seal back to the Abyss, so Roy speculated that there was a chance that Calypso would come looking for him.

Therefore, Roy was prepared to negotiate with Calypso. It was not impossible for him to return the seal token to her, but if they could not reach an agreement, Roy would follow his original plan… At this time, Ca.s.sandra found a corpse. It was a corpse that had long rotted away on the uninhabited island. Perhaps it was a victim who had been pushed ash.o.r.e by the sea. After obtaining this rotting corpse, like what she had said to Roy earlier, Ca.s.sandra stuffed the soul of the person who had burned her mother into it!

What was laughable was that Roy and Ca.s.sandra still did not know this guy’s name…

Although it was described with the verb ‘stuff’, it was actually a type of undead magic to revive ghouls cast by Ca.s.sandra!

Liches were high-level undead creatures and were born with the ability to manipulate corpses. Ca.s.sandra could ‘resurrect’ this rotten corpse, but what she obtained this way was nothing more than a skeleton soldier or zombie. The corpse itself would not have any consciousness because it had been dead for too long, but Ca.s.sandra used the corpse as a vessel to imprison and preserve the soul of her enemy!

This way, what she resurrected would be a ghoul, and this corpse would become the cage for the soul. After obtaining the body, the memories of the original owner of the soul would be restored, letting him remember who he was.

However, he was a fervent believer whose soul could not go to Heaven as he had imagined but was instead imprisoned in an ugly and rotten corpse. He had no choice but to live as a ghoul, and while enslaved by Ca.s.sandra, he was also constantly tortured by the desire to seek flesh and blood.

Roy felt that this guy would definitely go crazy… This was the cruelest means of revenge that Ca.s.sandra could think of, and Roy did not find it strange. With Ca.s.sandra’s intense hatred and resentment at that time, it was impossible to satisfy her vengeance by simply killing her enemy. Only this way of revenge could fulfill the demon contract she signed with Roy…

About a week later, a pirate s.h.i.+p with a white flag approached the uninhabited island.

The pirates really caught the murderers and sent them to Roy.

This group of murderers who killed Ca.s.sandra were not real pirates but a slave-trading s.h.i.+p that went between Africa, America, and Europe. To them, piracy was only a side occupation. This was also why Roy and Ca.s.sandra had not been able to find these people in the Caribbean Sea after such a long time. After killing Ca.s.sandra, these people had already gone to do business, and it would take several months to travel back and forth on the ocean during this era.

In fact, this group of slave traders who had killed Ca.s.sandra did not even remember who they had killed before. They had done so many things before, so how could they possibly remember?

However, when they were doing repairs elsewhere, they received news of the appearance about the demon, but they did not know much about the exact situation. Only when they went to the Caribbean for repairs did they receive the most accurate news. When they learned that Demon Osiris was looking for a pirate with a missing ear among the murderers, they realized that the demon was looking for them!

When they became aware of this, this group of slave traders broke out in cold sweat. The only thing that was worth celebrating was that when they docked, they happened to leave the fellow with the missing ear on the s.h.i.+p to guard it, so the pirates had not recognized them for the time being. In a moment of desperation, they hurriedly rushed back to the s.h.i.+p and actually killed their companion with the missing ear!

They initially thought that they would not be discovered, but unfortunately, their thoughts were too simple. As a slave-trading s.h.i.+p, they were the main suspects. Now, the pirates and civilians at every port of the Caribbean Sea were panicking. In order to quell the demon’s anger, they were trying to find out the whereabouts of these people. As outsiders, they had already been targeted the moment they reached sh.o.r.e!

When people discovered that they were destroying a corpse, they immediately realized that something was wrong with this group of people. Before they could even set sail, a large number of pirates had already surrounded them…

The pirates had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. After they interrogated these people to find out about their situation and salvaged the corpse with the missing ear, the pirates finally heaved a sigh of relief. They could report to the demon…

However, after this period of time, the pirates were currently most afraid of Demon Osiris, so no one was willing to send this group of people to Roy. They pushed each other, but no one was willing to accept this task.

The best candidate was originally Jack Sparrow, who had interacted with Roy before, but the problem was that Jack Sparrow was unwilling to go. He was unwilling to meet Roy again.

Just as they were arguing endlessly, a person appeared. She expressed that she was willing to lead the pirates and also said that she could ensure the safety of the pirates who were escorting the captives.

And this person was the witch Tia Dalma! The mortal body of the sealed sea G.o.ddess Calypso!

Therefore, when Roy saw Tia Dalma walking down from the s.h.i.+p, he realized that everything was truly coming together…
