Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 261 Chapter The Last Meeting with Indiana Jones

Helena's second visit to Forrest Manor was not simply to inquire about Constantine's theft. It can even be said that the theft was just a casual question. Her real purpose was to invite Lin You to meet Indiana Jones.

The famous historian, archaeologist and explorer is running out of time.

"I'm sorry, I told the Godfather about you. He hopes to see you." Helena said apologetically.

Lin You didn't care about Helena's apology, nor did he care about her revealing her secrets. There is no such thing as an absolute secret in the world. The only difference is the number of people who know about it. Exposing some secrets in a limited circle is not a serious problem.

Before the advent of the Internet age, the Ministry of Magic, such an unreliable department, was able to protect the secrets of the wizarding world very well in the face of so many Muggle-born wizards and their families; let alone himself, the patriarch of the Forrester family?

"How is the doctor? You always said that his health is not good." Lin You asked.

"Indeed; he has been receiving hospice care since two months ago." Helena looked gloomy.

Lin You was slightly moved: "It's hard to imagine, he doesn't look like someone who needs care. I still remember his adventures when he was young. He was a man full of adventurous spirit, wisdom and courage."

"Everyone has his weaknesses, and the Godfather is no exception. He suffered too many setbacks in his later years." Helena sighed and then changed the subject, "From the tone of your voice, I feel that you are very familiar with his adventure career, as if you have witnessed his past experiences with your own eyes?"

"Saw it with my own eyes? Maybe you can say that!" Lin You was vague and didn't explain much. He had watched all five movies, read a few comics and a few TV series; from this perspective, he had indeed "seen" Indiana Jones' adventures with his own eyes.

Helena misunderstood the meaning of the words, but accidentally revealed the truth: "You have indeed been traveling through time! Otherwise, how did you see that the Godfather's adventure career spanned half a century?"

"If you say so, then so be it! Didn't Dr. Jones say he wanted to see me? Can we set off now?" Lin You stood up and urged, "Want to try the way of travel in the magic world?"

"Is it okay?" Helena immediately shook off her sad mood and put on an excited face.

"Of course." Lin You opened the dimensional door and stepped through first; Helena followed carefully and expectantly, and after passing through the door, she was immediately shocked by the Statue of Liberty in front of her.

"Cool!" Helena shouted excitedly. She was already 60 years old, but she was as excited as a 16-year-old girl. She looked back at the dimensional door, and the reception room on the other side was clearly visible. She wanted to go back into the door to experience the feeling of crossing the Atlantic Ocean in one step, but she was pulled out by the black-faced Earl Goff, who immediately withdrew the dimensional door.

"Why didn't you use this magic last time?" Helena complained in disappointment.

"Because I don't want to waste time explaining to the US Immigration Service how I entered and left the country. Of course, I don't want the wizards in the United States to know that I'm here." Lin You said unhappily, "The same goes for you. You will have to go back to London through the dimensional gate later, and then leave the UK legally. Can I go see Dr. Jones now?" "Oh, of course." Helena had a lot of questions in her mind, but she had to hold them back and took Lin You into a taxi.

Dr. Jones was not in the hospital, but lived at home. He accepted hospice care, which meant that he knew his life was in the countdown, with less than six months left. When Lin You appeared in front of him, Indiana Jones also acted calmly.

"You don't look changed at all." The legendary explorer put on his glasses and carefully observed the boy in front of him, and finally confirmed that the other party was the same person he had seen before.

"You seem to have changed a lot. Although a little older, you are better than when we met outside Syracuse. When you were knocked unconscious and dragged onto the plane, you looked like a dead dog." Lin You seemed to be exposing the doctor's scars, but in fact he was trying to flatter Helena, which earned him a glare from the other party.

Even when his shortcomings were exposed in front of him, Dr. Jones just smiled calmly; his expression and behavior reminded Lin You of God, who was equally calm and peaceful, as if he didn't care about anything.

"I heard Helena talk about the Spear of Longinus. In fact, I also looked for this spear. It was during an expedition with my father just after World War II." The doctor talked about his past experiences with a nostalgic look on his face.

"That shouldn't be the same Holy Spear." Lin You shook his head. "In history, the Holy Spear passed through the hands of monarchs of various countries and was once broken into at least three pieces. The fragments then drifted in different directions and were repaired by later generations. Therefore, there were once three Holy Spears in this world at the same time."

The story Lin You told was the result of research by historians in the real dimension on the whereabouts of the Spear of Longinus. Of course, it was also the "history" he wrote into the big world with his quill pen.

With such a "history", he can "reasonably" bring the Holy Lance from DC comics into the big world, and at the same time lay a good story template for the "Holy Lance" that may appear in other stories in the future.

Since it has been broken, it is still broken whether it is broken into three pieces or thirteen pieces; as long as there are stains of Jesus' blood remaining on the tip of the spear, who dares to say that it is not the Holy Lance?
"Have you also studied the history of Christianity?" The doctor's eyes showed a hint of inquiry, "Or have you witnessed these things with your own eyes?"

"I haven't witnessed it myself, nor have I been to so many historical times and spaces." Lin You thought he had guessed the other party's intention. "I don't know about the future, but I definitely haven't been there yet. If that's the question you want to ask, this is the only way I can answer you."

"No, although I envy and hope to travel freely through time and space, that's not what I want to ask." The doctor shook his head calmly, "What I really want to ask is about the human soul, hell and heaven."

Lin You frowned slightly, but soon understood the eagerness in the doctor's eyes, and then he suddenly realized; at the last moment of his life, Indiana Jones was no longer concerned about history, archaeology, and the adventure and treasure hunting he was proud of, but his relatives.

"I don't know how to say it; there are indeed heaven and hell in this world; those two places are indeed the destination of people after death. But... I don't know if you can realize your wish; maybe you can, maybe not." Lin You looked at the doctor calmly and did not give him unrealistic hope.

"Thank you, Mr. Earl." Jones' voice was calm and flat.
