N2  - The Alchemist tells the story of Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd boy who dreams of discovering a treasure hidden near the Egyptian pyramids. Encouraged by a mysterious king named Melchizedek, Santiago sells his flock and begins a journey in search of his Personal Legend—his true purpose in life.

Along the way, he encounters various mentors and guides, including a crystal merchant, an Englishman studying alchemy, and a powerful alchemist in the desert. Through trials and self-discovery, Santiago learns that true treasure lies not in material wealth but in following one's heart, listening to omens, and understanding the interconnectedness of all things
