Chapter 120 - Snowflake Pattern (2/2)
Now, they could only obediently follow Roy’s rules. But what Roy did not expect was that the pirates were about to fight over being first!
Fortunately, not long after, the first person to test the water was finally decided.
The one who came forward was a burly Germanic pirate, and he seemed to be the strongest among the pirates. After stepping forward, he looked at Roy with some fear before carefully taking off the weapon at his waist and placing it on one end of the balance.
Roy was flabbergasted as he stared at this guy’s weapon. He finally realized that these pirates had come prepared!
This pirate’s weapon was actually a chain weapon weighing more than ten kilograms! It was also known as the flail…
It would have been fine if it was just one, but this guy had more than one flail hanging on his waist! No wonder when Roy saw him walk forward, he looked a little awkward. He had already prepared heavy items for this transaction!
He was not the only one. Roy glanced around casually and saw several of them with heavy weapons…
Seeing that the pirate still wanted to place down the other flails, Roy had no choice but to say expressionlessly, “There can only be one of the same items!”
He had no choice but to add this rule. What a joke. If everyone was like him, his gold would be gone in the blink of an eye. After all, there were still dozens of pirates waiting, and Roy did not want the pirates to find out that his gold had run out…
After hearing Roy’s words, the Germanic pirate immediately looked regretful. But it did not matter. Although he could not use the weapons anymore, he had other things. He took a shield and placed it on the balance. Then he began to take off his clothes and shoes. This guy’s clothes were heavy leather armor, and his shoes were heavy boots. It could be said that the pirates had done everything they could for this game…
Roy did not stop these latter things. All he needed to do was plan and spread all the gold in his hands.
Before long, the Germanic pirate found that he had nothing else to put on the balance, so he picked up the gold bars and placed them on the other end of the balance.
After the balance was finally balanced, the pirate finally took away twenty-three kilograms of gold. In order to drag away the more than two hundred gold bars, he had even specially prepared a gunny sack to hold them…
After the first person successfully exchanged for gold, the remaining pirates were overjoyed. Thus, they began arguing about their order. They could see that the gold on the ground seemed to be limited and that there would be less they could get later.
As the pirates exchanged for gold one after another, the gold on the ground was steadily decreasing. Some of these pirates exchanged for more, while others exchanged for less.
Those who were not fully prepared saw the others take away a large number of gold bars, and they were so regretful that they wanted to die.
However, they did not know that it was not necessarily a good thing to take away more gold because those who took away more would probably die faster! The power of the gold’s curse would stack… Perhaps when they returned, those who took away the most gold would soon be killed by envious people. This was the effect of the curse of misfortune…
However, if these pirates were to compare the gold they obtained with the gold that Jack Sparrow obtained, they might discover that their gold was different.
On this batch of gold bars, there was a hexagonal snowflake pattern engraved on them!
Yes, this snowflake pattern was the ‘mark’ Roy created![Mark of Osiris]
Soul Catcher: Items engraved with this mark will automatically attract and absorb the souls that appear within a radius of five hundred meters.
Teleport: The souls that have been absorbed will be teleported to the demon whose true name is Osiris. This teleport is a cross-world teleport.
When making this mark, the Soul Catcher attribute barely cost anything, but the attribute for cross-world teleportation consumed far more souls than Roy had imagined!
Making this mark had cost Roy about five thousand souls to exchange for it. Roy had designed the carrier of this mark to be a ring, and the pattern on the ring was the snowflake mark. When he wanted to engrave this mark on an item, Roy only needed to transfer his magic power to the ring and heat the ring’s mark to brand the item.
This way, as long as Roy mined the gold mine after returning and prepared more gold, he would be able to spread a portion of it every time he came to a world. Then, even if he did not return to that world in the future, the souls would be sent to Roy continuously.
After the number of souls teleported back in the future increased, Roy also needed to create an item that could automatically store these souls. Otherwise, he might not even have the time to do anything else in the future, and he would just keep collecting souls every day…
Of course, Roy did not set this mark as indestructible because he would have probably needed to pay more souls. It was not worth it. The secret of the mark on the circulating gold of misfortune might be discovered by the church one day, and it might confiscate the gold and refine it to destroy the marks. However, it was impossible for the church to do that in a short period of time. Such small gold bars were quite easy to circulate, and once they spread, it would not be easy to find all of them…
