Roman Empire, the Sea of Probus.

Probus is a large sea area of the Roman Empire that is not inferior to the Sapphire Sea, there are many naval ports and free x ports along the coast of the sea, the Probus Sea is connected to the sea area of the Ekie Empire, and an archipelago is the demarcation point of the natural sea area, which belongs to Roma and Ekie respectively.

The ports along the Probus Sea were inhabited by a number of chambers of commerce, who traveled between Probus and other empires, and sold the precious stones, spices, medicinal herbs, and glass that were abundant along the coast of Probus to other empires.

Or in direct exchange for goods, the most popular goods here are silk, tea and porcelain from the Dragon Empire, as well as many treasures such as gemstones, jadeite, kapok and rhino horn and ivory from the East.

However, while the prosperous commerce brought a large amount of gold, it also attracted a large number of murderous and greedy pirates, and the most in the Probus Sea were not merchant ships or naval ships, but pirate ships.

From the dhow of a fisherman and a tramp to the three-masted pirate ship of a large pirate, these greedy creatures await their chances on the routes of the Probus Sea to other empires.

Merchant ships with bad luck may be besieged by several pirate ships within a few days of going to sea.

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

In order to avoid more losses, the Chamber of Commerce also paid to build a powerful armed merchant ship to form a merchant fleet, which also made a large number of shipwrecks and bones of the dead accumulate under the Probus Sea.

"Ahead is the Probus Sea, to enter that sea, you need to pass through an archipelago, the archipelago has the navy left by the Roman Empire and the Ekie Empire, we need to go over, 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 get around......"

Andy glanced at it and frowned slightly.

"That's right, this archipelago stretches almost to the endless sea, and is known as the masterpiece of the gods, which is the basis for the division of the sea areas of the two empires, and through this archipelago, it is obvious that the color of the sea on both sides is different. ”

Charles replied that he had been a pirate of the Roma Empire before, so he knew a lot about it.

"It's kind of interesting...... But it's too far to take a detour, and the Endless Sea is too dangerous for us, is there any other route?"

"Yes, there are, chief, there are dozens of large islands in this archipelago, nearly a hundred small islands, the navy can only block some large shipping routes, it is impossible to deploy troops on all the small islands, as long as we have a chance to pass through this archipelago in between their patrols. ”

"Hmm... Slow down, wait until it gets dark and then go full speed, let's go this route. ”

Andy looked at the sky, then at the charts, and finally decided, pointing to the charts.

Charles glanced at the nautical chart and nodded.

If it were him, he would also choose this route, starting from the southern part of the archipelago, all the way between small islands, the possibility of encountering the navy is very small, and it is night, the Black Fantasy is at night, almost a ghost on the sea.

"Lower the half-sail!

Charles shouted to the pirates on deck, and the pirates who were playing dice stood up, quickly lowered the sails halfway, and retracted the double sails, and the speed of the Black Fantasy decreased significantly, and at the current speed, it would be late at night, and the Black Fantasy would reach the archipelago.

The Black Fantasy slowed down and kept heading towards the borders of the Ekie Empire, and in the evening, the lookout could barely see the archipelago looming across the horizon.

"Something is wrong, sir. ”

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

Andy walked out of the captain's room, his eyebrows furrowed, he also sensed something, it seemed to ...... The sea breeze was a little too cold.

In the cold sea breeze, there is also a hint of Andy's familiar breath, which is the power of Anubis.

"What's going on?"

Andy asked Charles, who touched the gold bracelet on his wrist and said with some uncertainty.

"Probably...... Tutankhamun came. ”

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 the territory of Ekie was covered with a layer of gray mist, and it was already evening, so it was even more cold.

"It's coming. ”

Charles seemed to sense something, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Eki Empire, Andy followed Charles's gaze, and in the distance, a cloud of yellow salon rolls tumbling like a sandstorm rushed from the edge of the sky towards the Black Fantasy.

From time to time, huge waves roll on the sea, and the air is a little oppressive, which makes people feel panicked.

The pirates on the deck also discovered this problem, and an inexplicable sense of depression hung over their heads, making people can't help but yell out.

"What's that?!"

"Storm?"

"How can there be sand in a storm?"

"Ekie is a cursed country! Damn! We need to get out of here!"

The pirates shouted word by word, the yellow sand storm was very fast, and it was getting closer and closer to the Black Fantasy, and a pressure came to the face, making many pirates subconsciously close their mouths.

"Spread out!"

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

The sand storm enveloped the Black Fantasy, and the raging sand hit the cheeks so painfully that the pirates couldn't open their eyes, and their ears were filled with the roar of the wind and the sound of sand hitting sails and planks.

After a while, the sound faded away.

The pirates opened their eyes.

"It's ......"

"Oh~Fack, what are they!?"

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

On the originally empty deck, more than two dozen mummies suddenly appeared, these mummies were exactly the same as Andy had seen before, shriveled corpses mixed with loess, looking a little strange, they were holding sharp weapons, standing motionless.

And in front of all the mummies, there is a half-mummy, half-human guy, his body is draped in a gorgeous robe, and his exposed arms and legs are already normal human, but the head is still the carrion of the mummy.
