Byron, realizing his mistake like many others, was slightly startled but quickly figured out the key to the ritual.
The "Pirate's Treasure Chest" ritual required one to obtain an item that best represented the glory of a Great Pirate's life to complete the promotion.

They naturally determined that the promised item in the contract was Azkek's Cursed Coin. Even Byron, before he had personally seen Flint, was no exception to this common belief.
