When he returned to London, the first thing he encountered was a struggle for inheritance.

Laura's mother's brother, her uncle, sent a letter witnessed by a lawyer. The letter contained only a few very brief sentences: "Final Notice: To Current Tenant Laura Crawford: This Notice is intended to be the final notice of termination of your ownership of Crawford Estate." You must move out immediately and hand over ownership of said estate to Atlas de Monnet, the administrator of the estate. ”

"Uncle wants to take Crawford Manor," Laura was furious, "that's where I grew up!" ”

She called to protest, and the other side calmly listened to her complain a lot, and finally said, "Laura, unfortunately, you forced me to meddle in this matter. You should know that I am your legal guardian and the designated asset manager in the absence of my parents. Since your mother's disappearance, we have not been able to confirm her life or death. And judging from the circumstances before your father's death at that time, it is presumable that he did not write a formal will that would apply to the present situation. Unfortunately, you don't have legal ownership of the property in their name. I am willing to give you a substantial amount of money per month from your trust, but only if you complete the formalities of surrendering the estate as soon as possible. Laura, stop arguing with me. Your mother won't be happy to see that. ”

Crawford Manor is a priceless house of countless treasures from all over the world. Most importantly, it's where Laura Crawford grew up, and her memories are everywhere. And now, her uncle wants to get her out through the law.

Of course, Nan Xiao does not allow this kind of thing.

Although he didn't know much about the plot, he was sure that he could handle it. Anything always works out in the end. If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who created the problem.

"Don't think about those troubles yet," he suggested, "or can we look for the will or evidence that Ling Zun Ling Tang left behind?" As far as I can see, your father is a cautious and careful man, and he should be able to take all situations into account. ”

Laura thought about it and felt that Nan Xiao was right. "Let's go to the study on the second floor," she said, "and there's a safe where Dad's important documents are always kept." ”

The two went up to the second floor together and went to the private study of Laura's father, Count Richard Crawford.

Very large study, about 100 square meters. The floor was covered with Persian blankets, and the entire wall was covered with books. Antique, calm and heavy, very old aristocratic style.

The safe is in place, but it can't be opened, and a password is required.

Laura also doesn't know what the password is. The two searched around the study, looking for clues.

On the wide rosewood desk, there were some manuscripts and documents thrown at random, and a light layer of ash had accumulated.

Laura picked up a picture frame from the desk, looked at it for a while, and turned it to Nan Xiao: "This is my ...... Childhood. ”

In the frame, Laura is a little girl with a freckled face, wearing an Egyptian-style golden crown, sitting by a large floor-to-ceiling window, next to a small green turtle doll. "It was my birthday, and my dad put on my birthday crown, and I was very proud of that," she said, not without sadness, "and I haven't celebrated a birthday with them for a long time." ”

Behind the desk, by the window, is a picture frame with a beautifully inlaid diploma. Lara Crawford, University of Oxford.

"Fake," Laura's smiled, "Dad always wanted me to go to Oxford, but I insisted on going to the University of London, so Rose helped me forge an Oxford diploma...... Dad would definitely be able to see through it, but he still treated it like a treasure. ”

There is also a picture frame on the bookshelf, which shows a photo of Laura's father and daughter with another woman.

Earl Richard Crawford was a modest English gentleman in a modest white shirt, a modest brown tie, and round-rimmed glasses. The blonde beauty beside him looked strong and serious, and she didn't smile.

Laura herself was very young at the time, and she wore a bright blue little dress, which was very cute.

Laura commented: "I've always disliked wearing skirts because I like to crawl around the manor and skirts are inconvenient...... But that dress is really beautiful. ”

She stared at her father's face for a long time, her eyes full of longing.

"Next to him was Anna," she said, "my father's...... Secretary and girlfriend. After her father's death, she managed the Crawford family's estate. ”

She said the word stepmother very tactfully. It seems that her relationship with Anna is not too bad.

Nan Xiao thought to herself: I'm afraid you don't know that your stepmother has great powers and is an important member of the Holy Trinity.

The Holy Trinity is a fairly old semi-religious armed group with the Maltese Cross of the Templar Order as its emblem. Nan Xiao didn't know much about them, but Anna had a lot of roles, and he was impressed. It was she who worked undercover beside Laura so that the Holy Trinity could always follow her. Every time Laura discovers some treasure, the Holy Trinity arrives and snatches it all. This kind of bloody scene appears again and again in the game, and it is extremely disgusting.

On the real Tomb Raider plane, Nan Xiao is determined to prevent such a thing from happening.

This study is like a treasure trove of memories that brings back Laura's memories everywhere. She was like offering treasures, introducing those collections to Nan Xiao one by one. For example, the bust of her grandfather, Benjamin Crawford; an African copper mask that Earl Richard obtained during his expedition to Nigeria; A map of northern Syria showing the location of the legendary ancient lost city.

"Dad was always looking for the legendary sacred source that could bring the dead back to life. It is said that a long time ago, a prophet led people to find an oasis in the desert of ancient Syria and build a city. He had suspected that the Divine Source was there. ”

Nan Xiao didn't know much about the plot of the ancient tomb after Yamatai, but he only remembered that there was an immortal prophet Jacob. It's to blame the game company for pinching Laura's face too ugly, and her figure is not good, just like little Gaga (Azure Route Saratoga), a real aircraft carrier. He played for a while and was not interested, and he didn't clear the level to the end.

"Little Gaga, little Gaga

The plane is ready to take off

How can such a big plane take off?

She's the real aircraft carrier......"

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but hum in a low voice.

"Huh," Laura asked with interest, "are you humming something?" ”

"Ahh It's just a Japanese children's song that I heard by chance. ”

When it comes to body evaluation, a girl's intuition is always surprisingly sharp. Laura didn't say anything, but her eyes were clearly suspicious.

Nan Xiao hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "It seems that there is no clue to the safe password in this study, why don't we go elsewhere to find it?" ”
