Roman Empire, Sea of ​​Probus.

Probus is a large sea area that is not inferior to the Sapphire Sea in the Roman Empire. There are many naval ports and free x ports along the coast of the sea. The Probus sea area is connected to the sea area of ​​the Eki Empire, and an archipelago is the natural boundary of the sea area. Points belong to Roma and Eki respectively.

There are many chambers of commerce in the ports along the coast of the Probus Sea. They travel between Probus and other major empires. They use the gems, spices, medicinal materials and glass that are abundant along the coast of the Probus Sea as commodities and sell them to other major empires.

Or it can be directly exchanged with commodities. Here, the most popular commodities are silk, tea and porcelain from the Tenglong Empire, as well as many precious gems from eastern countries, jade, kapok and rhino horn and ivory.

However, while the prosperous commerce brought a lot of gold coins, it also attracted a large number of ruthless and greedy pirates. In the Probus waters, the most are not merchant ships, nor navy ships, but pirate ships.

From the small sloops of fishermen and homeless people to the three-masted pirates of big pirates, these greedy fellows guarded the sea routes to other empires in the waters of Probus, waiting for an opportunity.

Unlucky merchant ships may be besieged by several pirate ships within a few days of going to sea.

The excessive number of pirate ships also led the Roman Empire to dispatch a large number of naval ships to patrol this sea area. In order to resist the naval ships, many pirates also spontaneously formed pirate groups.

In order to avoid more losses, the Chamber of Commerce also spent money to build powerful armed merchant ships to form a merchant fleet, which also caused a large number of shipwrecks and the bones of the deceased to accumulate under the Probus waters.

"The Probus Sea area is ahead. To enter that sea area, you need to pass through an archipelago. There are navies left by the Roman Empire and the Eki Empire on the archipelago. If we want to go there, maybe we should bypass the archipelago."

Charles looked at the nautical chart in front of him, pointed to the mark on the nautical chart and said to Andy.

"Such a large archipelago? It will take two or three days to go around..."

Andy glanced at it and frowned slightly.

"That's right, this archipelago extends almost to the endless sea. It is called the masterpiece of the gods, and it is the basis for the division of the two empires' sea areas, and passing through this archipelago, it can be clearly seen that the color of the sea water on both sides is different. the same."

Charles replied that he used to be a pirate of the Roman Empire after all, so he still knows a lot about this matter.

"It's interesting...but it's too far to take a detour, and the endless sea is too dangerous for us. Is there any other route?"

"There are, but there are, boss, there are dozens of large islands and nearly a hundred small islands in this archipelago. The navy can only block some of the larger routes. It is impossible to deploy troops on all the small islands. We still have a chance to pass through the archipelago between their patrols."

"Um... Slow down, wait until it's dark and then go full speed, let's take this route."

Andy looked at the sky, looked at the nautical chart, and finally decided, pointing to the nautical chart.

Charles glanced at the nautical chart and nodded.

If it was him, he would also choose this route. Starting from the southern part of the archipelago, all the way is the route between small islands. The possibility of encountering the navy is very small, and it is night again. Almost like a ghost at sea.

"Half-sail down! Set sail!"

Charles shouted to the pirates on the deck, the pirates who were playing dice stood up, swiftly lowered the sails to half, and folded the auxiliary sails again, the speed of the Black Fantasy became obviously lowered, and now Judging from the speed, the Black Fantasy will reach the archipelago around late at night.

The Black Fantasy slowed down and kept heading towards the sea border of the Eki Empire. In the evening, the watchers could vaguely see the looming archipelago on the other side of the sea horizon.

"Something's wrong, boss."

Charles called out Andy, who had returned to the captain's room, his face was a little grim.

Andy walked out of the captain's room and raised his brows. He also felt some problems. It seemed... the sea breeze was a bit too cold.

In the icy sea breeze, there was a trace of Andy's familiar breath, which was the power of Anubis.

"what happened?"

Andy asked Charles, who touched the gold bracelet on his wrist and said uncertainly.

"Maybe... Tutankhamun is here."

Tutankhamun was resurrected by the power of Anubis, and the power of the Scorpion King inherited by Charles also came from Anubis, so he was very sensitive to this power.

Andy raised his head, because of the ancient curse, the sky in Aiki was covered with a layer of gray fog, and it was already evening, so it was even more cold.

"coming."

Charles seemed to feel something. He turned around and looked in the direction of the Aegean Empire. Andy followed Charles to see the distant horizon ~lightnovelpub.net~ a mass of yellow salon rolls rolling like a sandstorm Going straight to the Black Fantasy from the horizon rushed over.

There were huge waves rolling on the sea from time to time, and the air was a little depressed, making people feel flustered.

The pirates on the deck also discovered this problem, and an inexplicable sense of depression shrouded their heads, making people unable to help but shout.

"what is that?!"

"A storm?"

"How can there be sand in a storm?"

"Eki is a cursed country! Damn it! We need to get out of here quickly!"

The pirates shouted each and every word. The yellow sand storm was very fast, and it was getting closer and closer to the Black Fantasy. A pressure hit the face, causing many pirates to shut their mouths subconsciously.

"spread!"

Charles shouted strength, and the pirates scattered obediently and hid in the corner of the deck.

The yellow sand storm shrouded the black Fantasy, and the raging yellow sand hit the cheeks very painfully. The pirates could not open their eyes, and their ears were full of wind roars and the sound of sand hitting the sails and boards.

After a while, the sound gradually disappeared.

The pirates opened their eyes.

"This is……"

"Oh~ Fake, what are they!?"

The pirate crew on the deck took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in their hearts, and quickly took out their muskets and weapons.

On the empty deck, more than 20 mummies suddenly appeared. These mummies were exactly the same as what Andy had seen before. The shriveled corpses were mixed with loess, which looked a bit strange. They held sharp weapons. Standing there motionless.

In front of all the mummies that were proud of themselves, there was a guy who was half mummy and half human. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, and his exposed arms and legs already looked like normal humans, but his head still looked like a mummy's carrion.
