- 6. The Englishman's Destiny
- Santigo meets a wise old man named Melchizedek who claims to be the king of Salem who taught him to follow the omens. Melchizedek explains to Santigo the importance of following one's density and when you really want to achieve something the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. For one-tenth of Santigo's flock, Melchizedek agrees to tell Santigo where his treasure is and gives him the stones Urim and Thummim to guide Santigo.
- After Santigo arrived at Tangier, he got robbed by a young man for all his money which left Santigo with nothing except his book, his jacket, and Urim and Thummim.

It took Santigo eleventh months to have enough money to buy the large flock and return home, but he was able to rethink his decision and continue his journey to the Pyramids.
