He requests Melchizedek to buy Santiago's sheep in order for him to go to Egypt to complete his "Personal Legend". A man is said to be capable of transporting Santiago to the Pyramids, however, he robs him of the cash he earned from his sheep. Santiago is required to work as an artisan in the field of crystals to earn enough money to get to the pyramids. He also encounters an Englishman who is looking for an alchemist. Santiago continues his journeys with his new friend. Santiago is in love with Fatima the Arabian girl, once they find an oasis. He promises her to marry him once he has completed his travels. He initially is irritated, but realizes that true love never ends and should be pursued.
