Chapter 336 Sea Snake

Seeing her boyfriend really didn't know about the pirate king, Princess explained proudly: "This Bashalomie Roberts is the most famous pirate king in the Caribbean waters in the early 18th century. Modern people once ranked the pirates of the Caribbean pirates back then, ranking the titles of the top ten pirate kings. Bashalomie Roberts, nicknamed the "Black Baron" is among the top ten pirate kings."

Clark McCann and three other bodyguards were nodding wildly, just kidding. Now is the time for the boss’s wife to give a speech. As loyal bodyguards, they must be there to support the boss’s wife.

"This guy is a British, Welsh to be exact..."

"I know Wales, I've been to Wales..." He is very familiar with Wales. The three sketches of Picasso that made his fortune were obtained from Fishgard Valdi Castle in Wales. And Yang Jing, the capital of Wales, has also been to Cardiff. He also met a serious chef fellow in Cardiff.

"Hold on your words!" The princess glared, as if she was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend's interruption of her speech.

Yang Jing spread his hands and signaled his wife to continue talking.

"Roberts was not a pirate at the beginning, but worked on an armed slave ship in Britain. When this guy debuted, he liked to wear gorgeous black dresses and jewellery, and loved to drink tea without drinking alcohol. His language was elegant and very beautiful, so people gave him a nickname of "Black Baron". He was very satisfied with this nickname, and he didn't know that this was his partner's ridicule."

"Later, Roberts' slave ship was snatched by the pirate Davis, but Roberts was lucky to not be killed by Davis. In order to thank Davis for his unstoppable grace, Roberts resolutely joined Davis's pirate team. And with his smart head, Roberts was highly valued by Davis and soon became a senior figure in this pirate team. Unfortunately, less than a month after Roberts joined Davis's team, Davis was killed by the Portuguese in the port of Terebrasi, a port city controlled by the Portuguese."

"After Davis' death, Roberts took over the pirate team left by Davis with his prestige. At this time, Roberts was only 37 years old. In order to avenge Davis, Roberts planned for a long time and launched a surprise attack on the Port of Traebassi after half a year after he took over the pirate team."

"In that attack, because the Portuguese were not prepared at all, Roberts led his pirates to take down the port of Terebras, looted more than 150 merchant ships anchored in the port, and obtained a large amount of property and a lot of good ships. With this successful sneak attack, Basalomour Roberts established his kingly position in the Caribbean Sea in one fell swoop."

"Roberts is not only calm, but also very cold-blooded. He never left a living after hijacking the ship. He not only plundered merchant ships, but also never let the navy go. His flagship "Royal Wealth" is a French warship stolen from the port of Terebras. It is said that he plundered hundreds of ships in his life, and the number is even comparable to the legendary pirate king Henry Morgan, and is one of the best in the entire history of pirates."

Princess looked at her stunned boyfriend and smiled and continued, "None of these are the most critical. The most critical thing is that Mr. Bashalom Roberts died in a war for only four years, but the pirates he led could extend to Brazil and even further West Africa and Newfoundland in the north! This is definitely unique among all the recorded pirate kings. No pirate king can be larger than the waters controlled by Mr. Black Quasi-Baron! So, if you say who reaches the waters in the extreme north, then other than Bashalom Roberts, they may not be able to do this."

Yang Jing asked in surprise: "Wife, what kind of guy you are talking about, Basha, could you reach the Newfoundland area in that era?"

Clark McCann, who was standing by, nodded and said, "Boss, the boss's wife is right. Bashalomu Roberts did control the Newfoundland area when he was crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He also had the ability to go to the extreme northern waters. Many of my friends once guessed this. Some friends even said that if Bashalomu Roberts died unexpectedly, then with his ability, he could even control the entire Atlantic Ocean, and perhaps even the British would have no way to deal with him."

After hearing these words, Yang Jing realized that he had taken it for granted.

That's right, in terms of human navigation technology in the early 18th century, most people may not be able to reach the northern seas, but if they have enough navigation strength and dare to fight to the death, and have better luck, then Mr. Bodman, the "Sea Snake", may not be unable to reach there.

You know, as early as 1616, the British W. Baffin arrived at Baffin Bay, a century earlier than the time when Bodeman drew this nautical chart.

Since the British could reach Baffin Bay so early, if Mr. Bondman worked hard enough, it would be impossible to reach the waters further north. After all, the sea conditions in Baffin Bay are still good in summer. As for the Smith Strait and Robertson Strait further north, although they can only be navigated in the late summer, if you are lucky, you will not encounter an iceberg in the middle, then it is theoretically absolutely feasible to reach the extreme north sea through this waterway.

After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Clark McCann: "Clark, have you ever heard of this pirate who has the nickname of "Sea Snake"?"

Clark was stunned, thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Sorry, boss, I really haven't heard of this pirate. But why did you ask about this person?"

Yang Jing pointed to the edge of the navigation chart that had been pieced together and said, "Look at it, there are some vague handwriting here. I just carefully identified it. It seems to be Sea-serpent in English. Isn't this the spelling of the sea snake? So I guess this navigation chart is eight out of 10.9 were painted by this man."

When everyone heard this, they looked at the position Yang Jing pointed out. Sure enough, there were a few letters vaguely at the place where the second navigation chart and the third navigation chart were intersected, that is, the upper right corner of the entire navigation chart.

This line of letters is just in the split position of the two nautical charts. If it weren't for the three incomplete nautical charts that were finally pieced together into a complete nautical chart, probably no one would have thought that these two separate letters would actually represent a person's nickname.

However, no matter whether it is the princess or the four bodyguards, it seems that they don’t know who this “Sea Snake” is. Although Yang Jing knows that the real name of this “Sea Snake” is Bodeman, he just knows that the name is useless. What does Mr. Bodeman mean by drawing this navigation chart?

Since I don’t know, don’t think about it now. Anyway, the navigation chart has been obtained, and at the very least I can follow the route on the navigation chart.

When Yang Jing was about to put away the map, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, it was Lin Dan.

"Brother Yang, the matter is done. If you come to the Immigration Bureau in Nicosia tomorrow, you can get your Cyprus passport directly. However, the EU passport will still need to wait for half a year. However, the Deputy Director of Papalocas said that if you can deposit 30 million US dollars in a bank account designated by the Immigration Bureau and this amount is guaranteed to be unused within one year, he can allow you to get your EU passport within one month."

Yang Jing nodded slightly, but did not agree to Lin Dan immediately. Instead, he thought for a while and said, "Linzi, wait for us in Nicosia. We are all in Paphos now. We will set off after lunch and arrive in Nicosia in the afternoon. You told Mr. Papalocas that I am preparing an investment recently, which requires a lot of funds and is not convenient for the time being, so you can get your EU passport later."

"Okay, I understand what to do."

"Well, you can ask Mr. Papalocas for me, which means I will treat him and his wife to a meal in my private capacity. Well, I remember that there seems to be a two-star Michelin restaurant in Nicosia. You will order food later. No matter how much it costs, I will want a seat in that restaurant tomorrow night."

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will definitely handle this for you. Brother Yang, if nothing happens, I will go out to order a seat now."

Yang Jing nodded and was about to die, but suddenly remembered the "Sea Snake" Bodeman, and asked casually: "Linzi, have you ever heard of a pirate nicknamed "Sea Snake" who ran rampant in the Caribbean Sea in the early 18th century?"

"In the early 18th century, Pirates of the Caribbean? nicknamed 'Sea Snake'?" Lin Dan muttered to himself. After a while, Lin Dan said: "Brother Yang, don't say it. I really heard from there that there is such a pirate nicknamed 'Sea Snake'. Please wait for me, I will go out to order a seat first, and wait for me to go online and ask my classmates, and he should be able to give me a definite answer."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jing and his group did not go out for dinner, but had lunch at the hotel where they were staying. When they were about to finish their meal, Yang Jing received a message from Lin Dan. There was nothing else in the message, only one link.

Yang Jing clicked on this link and found that it was a forum named "Pirates House". There were a lot of people in it, and most of the talks were about pirates.

Yang Jing entered key words such as "Sea Snake", "Early 18th Century", and "Basalomour Roberts" from the search bar of this forum. After clicking on the search, several related posts suddenly appeared on the mobile phone page. Yang Jing clicked the first post and saw a smile on his face immediately...
