Roman Slave Owner

Egyptian deserts and semi-deserts are widespread. In the west is the Libyan desert, which accounts for two-thirds of the country's area. Most of it is quicksand, and there are oases such as Khalijah and Siwa in the middle;

It can be said that 95% of the whole territory is desert. If you want to go to Egypt, you must go to the desert.

In a black gathering place, a black elder was answering Zavros' question respectfully.

Thanks to Li Wei's great victory, the Romans now have a very high prestige in Numidia.

Knowing that the Roman master wanted to ask questions, the chief of the tribe found out the most knowledgeable person in the village.

This elder black man traveled all over the world when he was young, and was the only black man in the tribe who could speak Greek and Latin. .

Is there really no other way to pass through this desert besides joining a caravan?

Zavoros asked with a gloomy face.

Yes, the desert to the east is very dangerous. There are quicksands everywhere. Only the most experienced guides can pass through this desert. Most people who enter the desert will only have a dead end and no physiology.

The old man said tremblingly.

Then how can I join the caravan?

Zaphroes asked.

A caravan passes by here every other week, and you just have to wait a few days.

Wait a few days? How is this possible, let alone a few days, even two days he can't wait.

Those Romans are not idiots, and they may catch up at any time.

Then can you hire a guide?

My child is the guide of a caravan. Besides him, I am the only one who has ever walked out of that desert.

Zaphros looked at him with a speechless face, and he was probably young when he crossed the desert.

The zealous chief replenished them with food and fresh water, and Zaphroth left the tribe.

He didn't lie, it is indeed very dangerous to pass through this desert.

Back to where Levi and Woolfar hid,

Zavoros said.

Because Wufar's size is too conspicuous, Zaphros is responsible for all negotiations.

After arriving at the edge of the desert, Li Wei found that Wufa and Zavroth were about to enter the desert without preparing anything, and was almost scared out of their wits.

You two idiots are going to die, don't pull me, can you enter the desert casually?

But after thinking about it, I understand that Wufar came from Germania, which didn’t have any deserts, and Zafros came from Bulgaria, a later generation. There are no stretches of deserts there, and they don’t know how terrifying the desert is.

Under Li Wei's strong protest, they finally decided to find a tribe and ask how to get through the desert.

After hearing Zaphroth's words, Wufar hesitated.

What should they do next? If you go south, that is the territory of Numidia, and they may encounter the Roman army who are fighting south.

To the north is the province of Africa, let alone to the west, they just escaped from there.

After the discussion between the two, they finally decided to go all the way north while looking for a caravan that could cross the desert.

A day later, a Roman cavalry and Numidian cavalry came to the tribe together.

After all, Plautus is not an idiot. After discovering that Wufar and Zavroth were missing at the same time, he immediately formulated an arrest strategy based on Wufar's height.

Scout around and inform all the tribes to arrest all those who are over 1.85 meters tall, regardless of whether they are black or white, and they will not be released until the Roman army has identified them.

Whistleblowers will be rewarded, and those who dare to hide and not report will be punished by their families.

Hypsal was also taken aback when he found out about it. He wanted Li Wei to elect him as the king of Numidia. What would happen to Li Wei's disappearance?

The anger in my heart can be imagined, so the two sides joined hands to set extremely severe punishment measures.

Their measures soon paid off. Someone discovered the traces of Li Wei and his party in the wild, and Plautus immediately sent someone to chase them.

Seeing Anius sitting on his beloved chair with a cold face, the tribal chief carefully reported everything about yesterday.

After hearing his description of Zaphroes, Annius burst into ecstasy.

Yes, it must be Zaphroth, there can be no mistake.

Finally found those two chopsticks!

Are they going to Egypt?

Hurry up and inform the captain of this matter, and say that you have discovered Zaphroth's whereabouts. In addition, any caravans are prohibited from going to Egypt. Anyone who dares to violate the order will be punished by the family.

Annius said viciously.

Yes, sir.

Although the matter of banning the caravan from going to Egypt was a bit big, it was nothing compared to Li Wei's life, and he believed that Hepsar would definitely support him.

And you supplied supplies to those bastards who should have been crucified and burned, the enemies of Rome. Tell me how you can make up for your mistakes.

Annius felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger, so he said to the tribal chief.

The minister and chief shouted injustice. He was just very enthusiastic about providing supplies for the Romans, but he didn't expect to flatter the horse's leg.

Seeing Annius' aggressive look, the old black man next to him said, I know that there are several oases in the desert that must be resupplied. If they want to go to Egypt, they must stop at those places to resupply. Why don't you send people to those replenishment points and wait for them there.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Annius thought for a while and said.

Although sending troops to Egypt is a bit abrupt, given the relationship between Rome and Egypt, Egypt must not dare to object.

The black old man couldn't help but widen his eyes. He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect that he really decided to send troops into Egypt. You know, this is a big deal.

What on earth did that person do to provoke them to fight so violently.

In the dark night, the three of Li Wei gathered around a fire.

Woofer was leaning against a tree, his face like gold paper, and he was clutching his right arm, which had a deep wound.

Li Wei tore a piece of cloth from his own clothes, washed it, boiled it in boiling water, and bound it for Woolfah.

Be careful, don't do strenuous activities during this period, or the wound may tear again. You'd better find a place to buy some medicine, or the wound may be infected.

Levi said.

Woofer stared at his every move vigilantly, and only said after realizing that he was not playing tricks.

I see.

Wufar and the others didn't know that the Roman army had chased them over. Some time ago, they hoped to contact a tribe and join a caravan heading to Egypt.

But being reported by that tribe, the three were surrounded by a large number of Numidian cavalry.

The two sides fought a battle, and finally Wolfar was injured.

If Zavoros hadn't threatened Li Wei's life, maybe they would have died there.

In fact, the news of Li Wei's kidnapping was tightly suppressed by Geta and the others, and no one dared to disclose the news.
