Ella followed Hestein and his party sailing on the open sea for who knows how many days and nights.
When everyone felt mentally exhausted, one evening, the boundary of the land finally appeared on the sea horizon. Unlike the naturally existing islands, the land ahead showed a regular rectangle, as if it had been cut artificially. From Pirates
During their conversation, Ella knew that it was Antilia.
Although the boundary of the land has been seen, it is actually still quite a distance away. It gets dark before you know it. Hestein's fleet is all small boats with oars and sails. After dark, the wind becomes lighter.
The speed of the boat slowed down a bit, and the pirates used their oars to row the boat forward in order to get ashore as soon as possible.
On the sea, there is a sparkling moonlight,
"Your Majesty, are there seven golden cities there?" Amy couldn't hide her excitement and kept tugging on Ella's sleeve. Stories like the legendary island and the huge amount of gold are also very attractive to girls.
.
To be honest, Ella, like Amy, was full of expectations for the legendary Antilia. But she was calmer and whispered: "Don't forget what was written in our letter."
——The letter has probably been delivered to the owner of Antilia a long time ago. Under the instigation of that letter, the closer they get to Antilia, the closer they are to being attacked.
"I really didn't expect that Hestein would take us with him... I wonder if Amy and I can escape smoothly by then?"
"Your Majesty, what kind of person do you think the sword master they are afraid of is? Does he have eight arms and wield eight swords at the same time..."
"That's not called Sword Master, it's called Octopus."
Ella complained.
While speaking, Ella glanced at the sea casually. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. At this glance, all the hairs on her body stood up - the sea surface was rolling unnaturally, although only a little bit could be seen vaguely in the darkness.
Something, but past experience told Ella that this was a group of sea snakes gathered together.
Soon others discovered something strange like Ella.
Under Hestein's order, the pirates moved the lights to both sides of the ship. Under the light, the sea snakes seemed to have been violently stimulated, rolling up and down in the water even more violently. Some sea snakes even tried to look like
It jumped onto the boat like a carp. There was no doubt that it was not an ordinary sea snake, but the highly venomous Baslik.
Wherever the light of the lamp can reach, there are sea snakes everywhere, the number of which is ten times more than what Ella encountered that night. Moreover, there are countless sea snakes pouring into the light from outside the lamp, as if
Eternal.
"Where did there come from so many Basliks!" Bjorn shouted from a boat in front, "Is anyone injured and bleeding?"
The pirates each looked at their own bodies, and then looked at each other in confusion. No one was bleeding, which meant that Basilik was not attracted by the smell of blood.
Hestein took out a throwing ax and threw it out. The ax burned in mid-air just like before, flying all the way to the farthest point of the sea as far as the eye could see. As the book said, Basilik was afraid of light. Flying
The strong fire burning on the ax turned all the Basliks along the way into blood. A clean path was instantly cleared on the sea. But as the light moved away, darkness and Basliks once again filled the sea.
Ella heard the pirates talking in horror: "What happened? Shouldn't Baslik run away when he sees the light of fire from a distance?"
Hestein frowned and threw the ax in the other direction. Another large sea snake was killed by the fire, but the new sea snakes quickly filled the gap.
Before Hestein could throw the last throwing ax, the sea snakes had already begun to attack the pirates on the ship. In the chaos, Bjorn's shout was heard: "Hurry up and kill those who jump on the ship! Be careful to draw your weapons quickly."
Keep away from their bodies, otherwise they will be eroded by the venom!"
The pirates are people who have lived on the sea for a long time, and they know what to do without Bjorn reminding them. Soon, Baslik who jumped on the ship was neatly dealt with. But they couldn't use their weapons.
As fast as Gan, after dealing with a wave, several weapons had been destroyed by venom corrosion. In the distance, a desperate number of sea snakes were still swimming towards the direction of their three ships.
"This amount is too abnormal!" Bjorn roared, and the two-handed ax in his hand began to glow. He gathered the energy that had melted a section of the city wall and let it wrap around him. The fire became more and more intense.
, became more and more prosperous, and the scope became larger and larger. In the end, the ship Bjorn was on seemed to be burned, wrapped in raging flames!
That light deters all sea snakes that try to get close to the ship!
Hestein's power does not appear in the form of fire like Bjorn, but is more straightforwardly destructive. He keeps swinging his spear to both sides of the ship like an oar, and every time he swings it,
Countless sea snakes were cut apart. Although he was only one person, he was stronger than thousands of troops, making the sea snakes unable to move forward!
As for the ship Ella was on... there was nothing on that ship.
The pirates could not stop all the sea snakes, and new sea snakes kept jumping on the ship. Amy, who saw Baslik for the first time, was so frightened that she ran around. Ella, on the other hand, stood there with an indifferent expression. Amy paid attention
Seeing that all the sea snakes seemed to be deliberately avoiding Ella, they quickly ran over and asked: "Your Majesty! Why don't these snakes chase you?"
"After I met these sea snakes last time, I tried to find some snake-repelling herbs based on the books in the Wang family library, wrapped them up and took them with me. Unexpectedly, they were quite effective..."
"Then help me, Your Majesty, help me quickly!"
Ella looked embarrassed: "But, there is only such a small package..."
"If this continues, everyone on the boat will be bitten to death, and then the boat will be unable to move!"
"Then...what should we do?"
"Give me the herbal bag first. It will hurt a little, is that okay?"
Ella nodded and took out the herb bag. Amy suddenly took out a dagger, cut Ella's hand, and dripped blood into the herb.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, you are the creator of this, only your blood is useful."
Amy apologized hastily, then held the herbal bag mixed with Ella's blood in her hand, closed her eyes and read:
"Aphrodite, the goddess of love, please pass this girl's carefully crafted gift to her friends."

Seven Hills Imperial Palace.
Gregory suddenly opened his eyes from meditation and dropped a drop of water on the map.
"Found it. This is the current location of Ella Cornelius Scipio - Antilia."
Sue Cornelius Scipio and Hartmann came over to take a look and shook their heads.
"Impossible. This place is in the North Sea. To get there from Constantiniya, you have to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and make a long circle. It takes at least three months of sailing. But Barcelisa disappeared for less than two months!"
"If you want to go to a certain place, you don't have to stick to the existing road. Tell me first, how many ships can the Qiqiu Empire dispatch?"
Hartmann winked at Su Cornelius Scipio, stretched out his hand and gestured to Gregory: "Our coastline has just been plundered, and most of the ships are patrolling the coast.
To avoid being attacked by pirates, we can only dispatch fifty warships now."
Fifty battleships, this number is enough to fight a large-scale naval battle, and using it to hunt down Ella is simply making a fuss. Hartmann deliberately mentioned this number because he knew that the Tianfang Empire's navy was not strong, and wanted to use it to intimidate
Gregory. Unexpectedly, Gregory nodded indifferently and said:
"This number is not very large. Give me three days to prepare. In three days, I will be able to send the entire fleet to Antilia."
Hartmann was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "Did I hear you correctly? Your Excellency said that you can have the fleet arrive in three days? This is a three-month journey!"
"With the magic of your Qiqiu Empire, it is probably difficult to handle. But in front of the powerful magic of Tianfang Empire, a mere fifty ships are just grains of sand on the beach."
Gregory left these words and walked out of the room, leaving Su and Hartmann alone looking at each other.
Su suddenly slammed the table: "Hartman, let Aulus bring his entire fleet to the Golden Horn!"
Hartmann was startled: "Sir! Aulus's fleet has more than eighty ships! Do we really want to gather eighty warships just for a girl?"
"Eighty ships are not enough! We will transfer another twenty ships from other places to make up a hundred warships! I must show that arrogant Gregory what a navy is!"
Su punched the pillar:
"I don't believe that the Tianfang Empire's magic can enable all one hundred ships to reach the North Sea within three days!"
