Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 53 This technique has a familiar style
A letter without a beginning or an end, and a sender who is not very clear; the time of sending the letter is just when the story world and the big world merge, and the letter is brought to the big world through the story characters in the small world - almost perfectly avoiding the sight of the gods.

Lin You felt that this technique had a familiar style.

Evelyn—Alex’s mother, not his daughter—suddenly leaned forward and asked, “Have you ever been to ancient Greece? Or are you planning to go there in the future? I’m talking about the mythological era when the gods still roamed the world.”

She stared at the boy's face, her curiosity almost overflowing from her eyes. At this moment, she was no different from the female museum researcher who had devoted herself to exploring Hamunaptra seventy years ago.

"Why do you ask?" Lin You asked back.

"Of course it's because of this letter. Isn't it clearly written?" Evelyn waved her arms excitedly. "Calypso is the daughter of the Titan god in Olympus mythology and the goddess of the sea. The most important thing is that she is punished by fate and will fall in love with every human hero who drifts to her place, but she is destined not to keep any lover. 'Fate has found you', and you are the next human hero sent to Calypso."

"But I'm only eight years old, and I'm not a human hero." Lin You laughed.

Evelyn retorted loudly: "What does it matter? Didn't Odysseus stay with Calypso for seven full years? After seven years, you will be fifteen years old; the Olympian gods all love young people."

This powerful thinking and reasonable analysis left Lin You speechless.

Fortunately, Mr. O'Connor habitually confronted his wife: "Don't be ridiculous. Has your brain been muddled by mythological love stories? 'Calypso's Hut', how could the goddess of the sea live in a hut? I guess it's just a place name, and it just happened to be named after the goddess of the sea. This letter is just an invitation. Someone wants to meet Bryce."

"How can a letter sent more than 40 years in advance be as simple as you say?" Evelyn said in a domineering tone. "Why can't a goddess live in a hut? The productivity in the mythological era was extremely backward, and the so-called palace of God was just people's imagination. You can't say I'm wrong because of this."

"I said you guessed wrong because since the search for Hamunaptra, every time you made a judgment, the first answer was wrong; you had to wait for the second or even the third time to find the correct answer." O'Connor's argument is full of metaphysics.

The two old kids in their nineties started arguing as if no one was around.

Alex and little Evelyn ignored the scene and continued to talk with Lin You as usual. Although it was noisy, it did not prevent the two "conversation" circles from running independently without interfering with each other.

"Have you any idea about this letter?"

"A little bit, and I can roughly guess who sent it; an 'old friend' I met through time travel. But I can't say exactly when the things mentioned in the letter will happen." Lin You folded the letter and put it back into the book box.

"So, you're just going to keep time traveling and nothing else?"

"Do something else? Like?"

"Like going to school?" Alex asked. "You're only eight years old. You'll have to go to school in the future, right? Don't all the children in the wizarding world go to Hogwarts, like little Evelyn? Little Richard will also go to Hogwarts next year."

"My situation is rather special. Speaking of Hogwarts, why didn't you go? The fact that you can use spells from the Black Book of the Dead shows that you have wizard blood and magical powers." Lin You didn't intend to reveal too much about himself. Instead, he was very interested in the "detailed changes" that happened to Alex after the history was tampered with.

When the two met in 1946, Alex was already an adult and had no idea about magic. Even after the quill pen tampered with it, Alex's history of being isolated from magic did not change. So Lin You was very curious, what details did the butterfly effect interpret to explain this history? Why didn't Alex go to Hogwarts to study even though he had magic power? According to his birth time, he should have enrolled in 1936 or 37; so, he had a chance to become Voldemort's senior!
"You mean the Hogwarts acceptance letter?" Alex spread his hands. "My father thought it was a prank and threw it into the fireplace and burned it. In fact, my mother and uncle also received similar letters when they were young, but they were in Egypt when they were young, so they didn't take it seriously."

Old O'Connor suddenly interrupted: "Hey, I remember your notice; that's because your mother was in a hurry to go back to Egypt to dig other people's graves, and we didn't have so much time to stay at home and wait for any teacher to come, so I burned the letter."

"So all this is my fault again? But why do I remember that you didn't want to go at all?"

"Because I don't want to meet another mummy waiting to be resurrected, or drink the water of the Nile again..."

Magically, the two conversation circles suddenly merged into one at a certain moment, and then split into two again in a very short time.

Lin You was stunned, and finally ran away with the book box amid the quarrel between the old couple.

After returning to Forrest Manor and putting the two scriptures on the bookshelf, Lin You stared at the mysterious letter that was sent forty-five years in advance.

Evelyn's guess about "traveling to the ancient Greek mythology era" was naturally wrong; this mistake was not due to her lack of academic ability or IQ, but the gap in information acquisition. Because she didn't know that there was a story world of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in this dimension.

But Lin You knew.

As magical adventure stories, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Mummy were originally part of the same batch of stories that were integrated into the big world. It was just that there was a temporary problem with the Mummy world, which caused the integration of Pirates of the Caribbean stories to lag behind.

However, this stagnation will not last long; if nothing unexpected happens, the gods will soon start a new fusion process. According to the previous plan, the next world to be merged will be either "Indiana Jones" or "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The so-called "Calypso's Hut" naturally refers to the mysterious hut where Calypso, who was sealed in a mortal body and transformed into a divination witch, lived.

In other words, this letter is most likely just a simple invitation letter, as old O'Connor said.

It seems that Evelyn may really have a bit of metaphysics in her, as O'Connor said; the first judgment she made was indeed wrong.

For Lin You, he is very concerned about another issue:
"Jupiter, what have you done?"
