Custom Made Demon King Chapter 108 - Another Deal

Chapter 108: Another Deal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although this ship had changed to a Frozen Ghost Ship, its nature had not changed much. Since Roy and Cassandra hated sunlight, Roy had frozen the ship not only to create a sense of mystery but also to use the temperature difference on it to create fog to block the sunlight. As such, the entire ship was actually covered in a thin layer of fog, and only by approaching it could you see the Frozen Ghost Ship clearly.
By the time you discovered this ship, you were already very close to it. It felt like a ghost that appeared and disappeared, which was why the people of the Caribbean Sea called this ship a ghost ship.
People who sailed on the Caribbean Sea, be it pirates or merchants, had already learned their lesson. Once they discovered any fog at sea, they would subconsciously think that the Frozen Ghost Ship had appeared and immediately choose to detour. If they really could not avoid it, they would carefully stop the ship and wait until they had thoroughly observed the fog before advancing.
Everyone avoided the Frozen Ghost Ship. Because of this, when Roy saw that someone had taken the initiative to look for the Frozen Ghost Ship, he was naturally very surprised.
In particular, Roy recognized this person at a glance. Jack Sparrow…
To be honest, Roy was a little stunned when he saw Jack Sparrow because he greeted him warmly!
He was rowing a small boat. As he passed through the fog and approached the Frozen Ghost Ship, he waved his hands at the ship and shouted, “Hey! Wait! Help!”
Fat Tiger was the first to hear the sound. He leaned his heads over the side of the ship and looked at Jack Sparrow. When Jack Sparrow saw Fat Tiger, he was even happier. He looked up at Fat Tiger and shouted, “Dog! Good dog! Could you lower the rope ladder and let me up?”
Fat Tiger tilted his three heads. He did not understand why this guy who looked a little crazy did not fear him but wanted to board the ship.
At this moment, Cassandra also floated over. She stood beside Fat Tiger and looked down at Jack Sparrow with a cold face. Err, it could not be said that she had a cold face because Cassandra had no face, only a skeleton, so she had no expression.
She was staring at Jack Sparrow. Being stared at like this by a skeleton, a normal person’s hair would have stood on end. He would not be able to stand it and would want to turn around and flee, but Jack Sparrow did not. Instead, he took off his captain’s hat and gave a gentlemanly bow. “Ma’am, I’m so happy to see you!”
Cassandra was at a loss as to what to do. Although she was a terrifying lich in the eyes of the world, in her memories, she was still that teenage girl. When anyone saw her, they would either be afraid or want to kill her, but no one had ever greeted her like this.
Cassandra could not help but turn around and look at Roy, who was sitting in a huge frozen chair on the deck.
“Let him come up!” Roy was a little speechless. It seemed that Jack Sparrow was as bold as the rumors said. He actually took the initiative to find the ship where the demon, hellhound, and lich were. However, he was also curious about what Jack Sparrow wanted to do…
Roy, who lacked navigation knowledge, did not realize how difficult it was to find his Frozen Ghost Ship in the vast sea…
Fat Tiger lowered the frozen rope ladder from the side of the ship. Jack Sparrow looked at the rope ladder and carefully stepped on it with one foot to test it. After realizing that it would not break, he climbed up the rope ladder.
After arriving on the deck, Fat Tiger naturally leaned forward and sniffed Jack Sparrow. Roy could tell that when Fat Tiger moved, Jack Sparrow was very nervous, and his entire body was tense. But after realizing that Fat Tiger had no intention of attacking him, he relaxed and waved his hand gently, carefully trying to shoo Fat Tiger away.
Fat Tiger smelled his scent and walked away after realizing that he was just an ordinary person and posed no threat. At this time, like a maid, Cassandra stayed by Roy’s side without saying a word, and Roy lay on his chair and looked at Jack Sparrow silently.
However, Jack Sparrow did not care at all. He forced a smile on his face and bowed to Roy. “Ah-ha! You must be the great demon king whose fame is spreading like wildfire on the sea! It’s my first time meeting you. I’m Captain Jack Sparrow! Captain of the Black Pearl!”
Roy did not respond and continued to stare at him.
Jack Sparrow shivered, rubbed his arms, and said, “I say, this ship is too cold! Don’t you want to make a fire to warm up?”
“…”
“Well, okay, looks like you’re not going to start a fire to warm up!” Jack Sparrow could only change his tone. “So, if you don’t mind, can I have a sip of rum? Because I can’t stand the cold anymore!”
“…”
Roy still did not say anything as he watched Jack Sparrow perform alone.
The scene was extremely awkward. Jack Sparrow also realized that his sense of humor seemed to be unable to deal with this situation, so he simply gave up on it. He spread his hands and said, “All right, I’m here to make a deal with you!”
After hearing this, Roy finally opened his mouth. He slowly sat up and raised his chin to gesture at Jack Sparrow. “Oh? What deal?”
Jack Sparrow took two small steps, came to Roy’s seat, and whispered, “I heard that you were looking for a group of pirates, and one of them is missing an ear, right?”
“Hmm? Do you know who they are?” Cassandra could not help but interrupt and ask when she heard this.
“Ma’am, I don’t know!” Jack Sparrow smiled charmingly and said, “But I can help you find them.”
“You’re lying!” Cassandra became angry. “You don’t even know who they are, so how can you find them?”
However, after hearing Jack Sparrow’s words, Roy had a flash of inspiration and immediately reacted.
Compass! What Jack Sparrow was referring to was his compass that could point in the direction of what he was looking for.
As expected, Jack Sparrow took out a small square box from his arms and opened it to reveal the needle inside. He shook the compass and said to Cassandra, “Ma’am, sometimes I don’t know who the other party is, and I don’t know where they are. This compass has a magical power. When you hold it, it can follow what you wish for the most in your heart and then point out the direction for you to reach it!”
Roy suddenly reached out and snatched the compass from his hand.
Roy held the compass and carefully sensed the magic power in it. He found that the weak magic power in the compass was very similar to the magic power in the Flying Dutchman. It was likely also a creation of the sea goddess Calypso!
Jack Sparrow had his compass snatched away by Roy, and he wanted to take it back, but he did not dare to, looking conflicted.
Roy looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Since this compass is so magical, aren’t you afraid that I’ll rob you?”
“No, no. You’d better not do that!” Jack Sparrow raised his right hand, and his fingers waved gently in an odd gesture as he said, “This compass can only be lent to others if I allow it. If you snatch it from me, it will be useless!”
Roy looked at the compass and found that the needle was spinning randomly.
But this was because Roy did not really want to go anywhere!
Roy knew that Jack Sparrow was lying. What did he mean by asking for his permission? Roy vaguely remembered that Barbossa and Lord Beckett seemed to have the idea of taking Jack Sparrow’s compass. If they really could not use it without permission, why would these people still have the intention of taking the compass?
However, although Roy knew that he had lied, he did not expose Jack Sparrow. After throwing the compass back to him, Roy asked, “Tell me! What do you want?”
“Great!” Jack Sparrow praised as he took the compass. “I want you to help me get my Black Pearl back!”
Roy was stunned when he heard this. This was because he heard a piece of information from this sentence. At this time, it seemed that Jack Sparrow had just been exiled not long ago!
Originally, Jack Sparrow should have gone to find Davy Jones and make a deal with him. Davy Jones helped him get back his Black Pearl. In exchange, Jack Sparrow had to work hard on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years. However, after taking back the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow went back on his word and avoided Davy Jones’s pursuit.
But now, it seemed that because of his appearance, Jack Sparrow had another target to trade with!
Perhaps it was because he heard that Roy and Cassandra were looking for a pirate crew, and Jack Sparrow had something like a mind compass. This made Jack Sparrow realize that the price he would have to pay to trade with Roy might be much less than the price he would have to pay to trade with Davy Jones.
Therefore, even though he knew that Roy was a demon, Jack Sparrow still came to him. He knew that making a deal with the demon was a huge risk, but in order to take back the Black Pearl, he did not care about anything.
Roy could understand what he was thinking. If Cassandra’s obsession was revenge, then Jack Sparrow’s obsession was his Black Pearl…
Should I accept this deal? Roy could not help but think. The sharp nails on his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the frozen chair, making clear, rhythmic clanking sounds as he tapped on the ice. This sound made Jack Sparrow feel uncomfortable on the silent ship. Although Jack Sparrow felt goosebumps all over his body, he did not dare to speak and nervously waited for Roy’s reply…
