Carthago comes out of the temporal fog on a small very agitated river which winds in the middle of the arid mountains. Suddenly, they fail on a sandbank and are attacked by strange nomads dressed in turbans. Sefrou appears to Sedik at the back of the ship: "he tells her that these nomads have a secret that they will have to discover and that can save their lives". In the middle of the Baquates tribe in Libya, they will discover Livia, an ancestral herb that heals Cid for the deadly desert fever caused by the sting of the Tsé Tsé fly.

Carthago arises in a small port along a steep coast: high up, a hilltop town, nestled on a rocky outcrop like a jewel in a jewel case, dominated by an acropolis with temples.

Carthago is shipwrecked following a terrible storm; clinging to the figurehead, the crew is suddenly surrounded by strange black vessels. They are very old Phoenician ships, says Cid, because they are covered with pitch (hence their black color) for sealing. Little reassured, our friends are taken in by men tested by the storm and the trip with their Queen Elyssa, the one who founded Carthage. She had to flee the throne at Tire and dreams of building a new city that will match Tire.

The boat comes out of the temporal mists and on the island of Chios, the team discovers that music is prohibited. Indeed, the Queen who reigns on this island saw her twenty year old son fall seriously ill (a kind of coma). Convinced that music has caused this disease, the Queen has banned all musical events, whether public or private, in order to ward off possible evil spirits - a decision that does not greatly delight the population for whom music is a part of life .Meeting with Glauké, young woman of the people, who seeks at all costs to revive music in the city - dedicated to Meret, goddess of music, she must make music her life. She also believes that the only way to "resuscitate" the prince would be through a song that would prove the healing power of music. But his will is opposed to that of the Queen .

The Carthago gets its supplies in a small quiet port located on a commercial sea route (Maltese coast, 300 BC). The small port is soon attacked by two PIRATES ships which grab goods in the quay boats, as well as products on site. The attack is led by a colorful character (scarlet red cape), his face partly hidden by a grotesque mask which however shows a Machiavellian smile. Our heroes help defend the village (Sedik plays the slingshot, Hamoura hooves). The looters even try to kidnap a beautiful girl (Zennubia), but the latter is valiantly saved by Kothar and escapes kidnapping. Unfortunately, the village was ransacked.
