Then I took out from my bag and showed Big Alexander the latest artifacts
that had appeared in my life — specifically the ones the system had given me.
He said that they... it was strange. At first, he said it was the same thing:
the forest spirit, the spirit of the earth, and all that; that it’s all one, and it
gives me some kind of superpower, and I need to be friends with it — he
especially said that about the crocodile. But then, he looked at each of these
talismans, amulets, or whatever you want to call them, individually and said
that they are actually different. They are distinct. Each has its own separate
story. I was given a fly. I never showed it to anyone; I never let anyone hold
it so it wouldn’t become “profaned.” Only now have I decided to take a
photograph and publish it in the book. It was given to me for my birthday
a year ago. Some monks made it specifically for me during a full moon
in September. That’s why it arrived late, because my birthday was on September
12th, and the full moon was a bit later. People waited for the full moon to make
this thing for me. I’ve never worn it; it just exists, and that’s all. The crocodile
is from my birthday this year, 2025; I acquired it myself: Spirit of Water,
Spirit of Justice, also protection, and so on. They gave me this protection,
this “thing,” from above. And as for the one made of bone with those eyes
— I don’t recall which country it’s from. I’ll put it this way: I was looking for
Egyptian artifacts to use as samples, so I could make silver copies of the
originals — statuettes and pendants for myself. And while searching for all that,
I found this bone with eyes because I felt a powerful energy coming from it.
Big Alexander liked all of it very much.
What else did we discuss? Well, I took off my rings and pendants to show
him what I wear. He saw that I wear only gold — it’s gold everywhere. And
it’s true, I can’t wear silver. Something happened to me, and now it’s only
gold. Things were already heading that way back in the ninth volume
of “Alternative History”. Only gold. As for things I couldn’t afford yet, I chose
gold plating, which essentially works the same way. Of course, gold is better
and purer, as Big Alexander said, but the essence is the same. I showed
him some gold items and some gold-plated ones; not everything I had was
solid gold. He saw a gold King Tut ring on the finger of my right hand. And
on the pinky of my right hand, a gold ring with a blue sapphire. On my left
hand, I had a gold ring with a large diamond. I’m not sure exactly how many
carats — maybe six or seven — it’s a large, uncut stone. He liked it very much.
