„...‘Did you say a king?‘ He asked.

‚I guess you don’t believe that a king would talk to someone like me, a shepherd,‘ he said, wanting to end the conversation.

‚Not at all. It was shepherds who were the first recognize a king that the rest of the world refused to acknowledge. So, it’s not surprising that kings would talk to shepherds.‘

And he went on, fearing that the boy wouldn’t understand what he was talking about, ‚It’s in the Bible. The same book that taught me about Urim and Thummin. These stones were the only form of divination permitted by God. The priests carried them in a golden breastplate.‘

The boy was suddenly happy to be there at the warehouse.

‚Maybe this is an omen,‘ said the Englishman, half aloud.

‚Who told you about omens?‘ The boy’s interest was increasing by the moment.

‚Everything in life is an omen,‘ said the Englishman, now closing the journal he was reading. ‚There is a universal language, understood by everybody, but already forgotten. I am in search of that universal language, among other things. That’s why I’m here. I have to find a man who knows that universal language. An alchemist.‘

The conversation was interrupted by the warehouse boss.

‚You’re in luck, you two,‘ the fat Arab said. ‚There’s s caravan leaving today for Al-Fayoum.‘....“
