Ausstrahlung: Okt 20, 1979

After leaving Turpan, Marco Polo and his companions were greeted by the Mongolian army escort and resumed their journey. The Mongol army always carried a "Pegasus Flag" at the head of the army. The Mongolian people believed that the spirit of Genghis Khan resided in this flag. After passing through the checkpoint, the group was relieved. A peaceful banquet was held at the camp. However, that night, Nicolo was attacked. Someone was trying to steal the sacred oil. The army commander wrapped the jar of sacred oil in the "Pegasus Flag" to protect it.
