Chapter 50: Uncharted

Landau knows that this problem must not be solved at present, after all, he doesn't know which force is in charge of the big man behind the scenes.

Looking at Gates, who was looking for the bartender to have another glass of Margaret, Landau's heart was rattled, and he took the wine and asked casually, "How much do you think you can take?" ”

Gates's face flashed with hatred, greed and helplessness, and finally said slowly with a tangled face: "Let me and him take five points each, it's enough." ”

Landau shook his head with a smile and reached out to pat Gates on the shoulder, "I don't know what the final story of you and him is, but I never treat my friend badly." Ten points. ”

Gates looked up at the bartender, "Do you have any quieter places here?" ”

took Gates to the private room on the second floor of the bar, Landau closed the door with his backhand, and reached out to the sofa to signal Gates to sit down.

Gates, who was resting on the armchair with his arms outstretched, looked up at the ceiling and remembered the past, continuing to tell about his past.

The trio traveled thousands of miles to the Philippines, and it took four months to finally find Magellan's grave, and then found that there was nothing here.

Sam, the meditative assistant, realizes that they should go to the captain of the ship.

Gates, who was about to bottom out of funds, heard new hope, and even took out the savings at the bottom of the box to continue to act.

Burdened with countless debts, Gates finally came to the captain's grave and found the notes of the year.

When everything was in order, an unknown force attacked them, and Sullivan fled with the diary.

Sam volunteered to stay behind to fight the gang in order to cover Gates, and Gates was able to escape.

"Let me guess, because you can't provide the funds, and his assistant doesn't know if he's alive or dead." Landau propped his head on the arm of the couch with one hand and joked, "So, you're abandoned." ”

Gates scoffed, "Of course, after all, I can't count it as a help in the common treasure hunt, but a hindrance." ”

"Given that the diary should be divided according to the regulations, I can get half of the diary. Sullivan bought a portion of mine for very little money, after all, that money would allow me to go home. ”

After speaking, Gates couldn't stop smiling on his face, and after holding it for a while, he didn't hold it back completely, and laughed and said: "Out of kindness, he let me read the diary for a while, and I directly took out my mobile phone to take pictures of the contents." ”

Hearing Gates' little trick, Landau also laughed happily.

As the laughter subsided, Gates spoke before Landau: "You may want to ask, why am I looking for him?" Because the clues are incomplete, the clues in the book are not all. ”

According to the captain's diary, the gold clue was split into two parts, each with the captain and the crew each having a key to an altar cross.

The captain's information is not enough to find the treasure, and another key is needed, as well as clues from the crew.

Landau stood up with his hands on the armrests, "So what are we waiting for?" Get moving, Gates, take me to meet your old friend. ”

Leaving the bar, Landau is led by Gates to Sullivan's residence, where Gates skillfully uses wire to open the door.

Landau watched Gates, who had finished picking the door and locking it, enter the door, and followed in with a playful look.

Do you have to be able to pick the door and lock it for a treasure hunt? It's funny.

A young man's voice came from inside the room, "... I've dreamed of this since I was a kid. But why did you know it for a long time? ”

The middle-aged man's voice answered the boy's doubts, "When Sam told me that his brother was interested in Magellan's affairs, I didn't believe it. ”

"Wait, you're Sam's brother?" Gates stepped out of the shadows and looked at the boy in surprise.

Landau stood quietly behind Gates, not saying a word.

The appearance of Gates and Landau undoubtedly frightened the two, especially Sullivan, who grabbed the diary on the table with one hand and the other behind his back, and asked loudly: "Gates? What are you doing with someone breaking into my house! ”

Landau smiled and moved lightly, blocking their escape route.

Gates excitedly walked up to the boy and grabbed his hands, "You're Sam's brother?" I'm your brother's friend..."

As he spoke, Gates glanced at Sullivan with unkind eyes, pulled the boy behind him, and scolded Sullivan, "You killed Sam back then, and now you want to kill his brother?" ”

Sullivan ignored Gates, looked serious, and asked word by word, "What are you doing here?" ”

Landau had already pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Sullivan, walked over with a smile on his face, stared at Sullivan and said, "Gates, your friend doesn't seem to welcome you very much, so please ask him to hand over what he has." ”

"Then, let's talk a little more."

Gates walked around behind Sullivan and found only a copy of the captain's diary and no pistol at all.

Landau looked at Gates and brought the captain's diary, and put down the pistol with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, let's have a good talk." ”

Landau sat on the sofa and looked at the captain's diary, and Gates next to him first explained his intentions, and then then took the boy's hand and said, "You shouldn't have contact with Sullivan!" ”

When Gates was fully communicative, Landau closed the captain's diary and took out the altar cross from his arms, "What about the other one?" ”

"Where did you get that?" Sullivan jerked at Landau, "Wait, which one did you get?" ”

Landau picked up the altar cross and looked at the gems on it, and said indifferently, "I don't know, I don't care. I just want to know where the other one is. ”

Seeing a debris in the red gem, Landau took the cross money magically, pulled out the gem, and an iron needle was revealed.

It seems that this cross is just a simple key.

Landau silently put the gem back, looked up and saw several people staring at him, and smiled: "We have the same purpose, why go to the opposite side?" ”

After a moment of silence, Sullivan spoke first, trying to figure out where the rest of the cross was.

By the time Sullivan hung up the phone and came back, Landau had already figured out the boy's identity, Nathan Drake, the younger brother of Sullivan's assistant.

"Good news, we don't have to go to the auction house, this is the cross that the Moncada family is eyeing." Sullivan pursed his lips and looked around, seeing that everyone was indifferent.

"Better news, another key is at our destination, Barcelona."

Landau remembered that the captain's diary wrote: "The road begins in Barcelona, where the key becomes a pine tree. ”

Sitting in the plane, Landau looked out at the pine forests of Barcelona.

Obviously, this pine refers to something else.

"In Barcelona, anything you need can be bought from Chloe Frester." Sullivan put down his phone and explained to the crowd.

Gates sneered, "In which corner are we meeting this time?" ”

"No, she's coming to pick us up." Sullivan's answer was clearly unexpected by Gates.

Gates immediately shouted: "This can't be! Why? ”
