Even though it was already spring in the Mediterranean, it was still difficult to see much green near the Dahercules stone pillars. All there were only huge rocks and cliffs standing in the sea. According to Greek legend, the Hercules Dahercules had twelve great achievements. The tenth item was that when King Euros sent him to capture the herd of the giant Gerion, he erected two stone pillars on the Atlantic Ocean, which were the Dahercules stone pillars.

This is a legend of the Greeks. As the Carthaginians who once ruled the Mediterranean, but still dominate the westernmost end of the Mediterranean and the sea west of the Dahracles, their legend was not the case. Moreover, most Greeks had never been to the Dahracles and were only heard of this strait and the towering rocks.

According to Carthage's law of the people, all Gentiles who went to Sardinia (two islands to the west of Italy) and the Dahracles stone pillars to conduct business will be punished with drowning.

This is of course to protect trade. The continent west of the Dahracles stone pillars has gold, tin in England, and silver in the Ilibyan Peninsula. These precious metals are as important as the ivory and tiger skin in the inland Africa, pearls from the east, purple dyes from Tyre, Arabic frankincense, Egyptian linens, Greek pottery and wine, Cyprus' copper, and Elba Island (the island in western Italy) and are all important commodities of the Carthage Marine Trade Network.

The monopoly on maritime trade has always been the policy that the Carthaginians insisted on and continue to this day. Even if the war with the Romans failed, the marine hegemony in the western Mediterranean had been owned by the Romans, but the Carthaginians were still masters in the waters of the Iberian Peninsula and the Atlantic Ocean. However, the Carthaginians, located not far from the west of the Dahracles stone pillar, suddenly found themselves facing a problem they had ever encountered: the law of the people prohibited the Gentiles from going to the Dahracles stone pillar from the east of the Mediterranean to do business, otherwise they would drown. Now they have magically discovered that the Gentiles' sailing ships were sailing towards themselves from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

"Is that a Greek ship?" There is a series of Carthage city-states west of the Dahracles, and Timiatrione is just one of them. Someone saw a sailboat coming from the deep sea, and the people on the dock were surprised.

"It is not Greek, nor Roman..." The merchant without Lu Lijing could only rely on his vision - the vision of the sailor. Looking away, the merchant ship in the distance was only a small point, but it was rapidly growing, gradually becoming two sailboats that had never been seen before. "I swear in the name of God Baal Harmon that this must be the gods on the sea..."

The Carthaginians ruled the ocean until the First Punic War, and their warships and merchant ships were still ahead of the entire Mediterranean world. But now the two sailboats sailed at high speed were in styles they had never seen before. They had so many masts, their sails were so dense, and their paddlers were so...

"Oh my God! They don't have pulp hands..." The sailors were getting closer and closer, and the sailors were surprised to find that the oars could not be seen on the side of the two sailing boats. Without the oars, there would naturally be no pulp hands, but all ships in the Mediterranean world needed pulp hands.

"Silly people! Send warships immediately to invite them into the port." The actions of the merchants on the dock attracted the guards of Silanas in Timiatrione. Although the law of the people did not stipulate whether the Gentiles came from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Hercules stone pillars, he instinctively felt that the nations or gods who could make such sailing boats must be respected.

They come from the deep sea, the Phoenicians, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians... These names can be listed in a long list. No one's ship can enter the deep sea, and everyone can only sail along the coast. Sometimes they even have to bring seeds, plant them on the coast, and set sail again after harvesting.

The city guard said that it was an order. Several five-square warships slowly sailed out of the dock. At this time, the sailors of the Gentiles were already close at hand. The sailors on the ship were busy. The sailing ships were adjusting quickly. The sailing ships stopped completely - in a way that the Carthaginians could not understand, and a small boat slowly lowered from the side of the ship.

At this time, the people on the Pier of Timiatrione could see the two sailboats clearly. It had four masts (the Carthaginians also regarded the bow tilt as a mast), the tallest in the middle, about fifteen people high, with sails hanging on it, and a strange bird was painted on the sail. The entire ship's side was towering, and there were no oar holes, and there were only a few holes on the very high freeboard, but it was obviously not a oar hole.

The Gentile sailboats were not long. A typical Greek three-sized warship was thirty-seven meters long, but it looked completely different from the sailboat. Its side was higher, and the front end had no impact angle but was slanted upwards. The most important thing was that you could see pieces of copper armor above the waterline, which were neatly nailed together and stretched below the waterline.

"The five-star pearl was born and omniscient, the king of Chu, the kingdom of Qi, the kingdom of Wei, the kingdom of Zhao and the leaders and protectors of the states of Baiyue, the guardians of the most eastern Chinese states of the Middle Amount, the Indian Empire, the Seleucid Empire, the Kingdom of Baktria, the Kingdom of Pandiya, the Kingdom of Juluo, the Friends of the Kingdom of Zheluo, the ruler of the four oceans of the world, His Majesty Xiong Jing, ordered his ministers to sail from the sea to the stone pillars of Dahracules in the far west, visit Carthage, the Roman Kingdom, the Mediterranean, and the Greek states..."

The small boat that was laid down on the sailboat quickly rowed to the dock under the guidance of the warship. At this time, Silanas had summoned soldiers and translators to wait quietly on the dock. With the joint efforts of several translators, Xiong Jing's long title was stated from the mouth of a Persian.

Silanas was very confused at first. He did not understand the specific meaning of the Five Stars Pearl, nor did he know what countries the Chu Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, and Wei Kingdom were. He had never heard of the Central Continent and China. He did not know until he heard about India and Seleucid, and the other party also knew about Carthage and Rome.

Based on his knowledge of the known world, Silanas asked in standard Greek: "Is your country east of India?"

"Yes. China is part of the Central Continent, India is in the south, and China is in the easternmost place." When dealing with barbarians, they are Vietnamese warriors, when dealing with kingdoms, they are captains without hooks, and when dealing with city-states, they are municipal orders. After his words were translated and reposted, he also asked: "Is it Carthage's people? Is it a Carthage county?"
