Chapter 846: Justifiably

Sophia helped Jacob limp to a yard in the village, a typical Russian mountain house, a two-story steeplechase built of logs.

The room was very warm, and there was a fire in the fireplace. Sophia helped Jacob sit in front of the fireplace, added a few pieces of wood to the fireplace, turned around and said enthusiastically to Jiang Hao and Laura, "It will be warmer for you to sit here, I'll get some food."

All of them have not had supper yet.

"I'll do it for you." Laura said with a smile.

Sofia was very happy, "Okay, I'll make a hot coffee for dad and Jon first, and then see what's ready to go."

The two women went to the kitchen, Jiang Hao sat on the sofa opposite Jacob. They looked at each other, Jacob looked at Jiang Hao and showed a faint smile, and Jiang Hao smiled back.

The two of them did not leave their eyes, but kept looking at each other. Suddenly, Jacob said, "I can feel that you are very special."

"You are more special to most ordinary people in this world." Jiang Hao said without any disadvantage.

Jacob was slightly stunned and said, "You seem to know something?"

"Jacob, Jacob, the names are very similar, right?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Jacob now knew that the other party should have known his origin, and he said lightly: "I have never deliberately concealed anything, just for a simpler life."

"But now it seems that your life may not be very good. You know I am not referring to matter. At your level, I know that I have deviated from the pursuit of matter." Jiang Hao said.

Jacob was silent for a while, looking at the fire that was gradually igniting beside him, and said in a low tone: "Yes, it's not good. I have been doing things that I think are meaningful, trying to save the sufferings of the world, but in the end I found that the progress of things seemed to be not what I thought."

"What is your ideal?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Search God's footsteps, save the miserable world, fill this world with love and sunshine, and reduce the disputes and killings."

"Ah~~~", said this, Jacob sighed a long sigh.

Sophia walked out of the kitchen, holding a silver plate in her hand, with a ceramic coffee maker and two coffee cups on it, and walked over to put it on the table next to her and said, "Dad, Jon, the coffee is ready."

As he said that, he poured coffee for the two of them and handed it to them.

Jacob took the coffee cup and smiled slightly at his daughter. Jiang Hao took the cup and thanked him, "Okay, let's talk, Sister Laura and I will go to make dinner." He said that and turned around and left.

Looking at his daughter's figure, Jacob's eyes were full of care, and Jiang Hao asked, "Sophia shouldn't know your identity."

Jacob shook his head, "Only every Acropolis pastor knows my identity, and no one else in the village knows me, including Sophia or even her mother."

After taking a sip of coffee, Jacob said, "Jon, I can feel a divine power from you, although it is different from me."

Jiang Hao did not hide it, "Strictly speaking, I am also a monk."

"Do you have faith?" Jacob asked.

"Of course, I believe in 'Taoism' and I am a Taoist priest who takes the ordination." Jiang Hao said.

"Taoism, I know that the Mongols attacked Kit City, and I took people to repel them. Later, I went to the Mongolian Yuan Kingdom, heard of the sect of "Taoism", and also heard of their legends," said Jacob.

Hearing this sentence, although Jiang Hao knew that he had lived for more than a thousand years, he was still shocked. He saw people from the Yuan Dynasty sitting with him and drinking coffee. This feeling was really strange.

Jacob looked at Jiang Hao, "Jon, can I feel that you have ever touched the Blue Crystal, right?"

Jiang Hao's heart moved. He could feel that the crystal would not have strong radiation when he touched the crystal.

"Yes, I took it back." Jiang Hao said, taking his backpack, taking out the blue lotus from it and handing it to Jacob.

If he took it away secretly, he would take it away. But now the owner noticed that Jiang Hao could not lie, although the blue crystal may be related to the secret of immortality.

Jacob looked at Lan Shuijing deeply, but shook his head. The other party's action surprised Jiang Hao.

"Want to know the secret of the source of the divine?" said Jacob.

"certainly!"

The Holy Trinity has been tracing this secret for countless years, and the Earl of Crawford has also been inspected for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity to know this secret, Jiang Hao is naturally very interested.

Jacob seems to have a very desire to talk now. Perhaps he thinks that Jiang Hao is the same person and is easier to communicate with.

"Let's start with the blue crystal in your hand. In fact, it is not the 'holy source'. I don't know what it is. Later, because of its function, I named it "Immortal Crystal". He has a ability, which is to control it to absorb the souls of the dead and then transform it into an undead warrior."

Jiang Hao suddenly realized that this was the case.

"What is the source of the sacred?" Jiang Hao asked.

Jacob seemed to be in deep thought and said slowly: "I was originally a monk. When I went to a farmer's house to preach, I accidentally saw this crystal. When I saw it, I was deeply attracted by him. It seemed that it was calling me. Later I realized that it was me feeling his energy fluctuations."

"I bought it from the farmer and took it back to study it. After contacting it, I felt a warm energy surge out of the blue crystal. From then on, I had superpowers, that is, immortal body and healing ability, and this crystal is just the carrier of that energy."

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no hope of gaining the ability to immortality.

Through the other party's words, Jiang Hao felt that it was not crystal that gave Jacob that ability, but like a key, opening Jacob's superpower gene lock, allowing him to have immortal and healing superpowers.

There are not many people in this world who have superpowers, and it is not uncommon for Jacob to have such abilities.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt that many of Jacob's things could be explained.

He is not a god,

Not omnipotent,

Just a person with immortal body and healing superpowers.

It was only when he chose to preach that he was called a prophet. If he joined the "Avengers", he would at most be a Deadpool + a nanny.

oh,

It seems that Deadpool can be resurrected even if it is blown up, but Jacob may not be able to do it.

"Then what?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.

"Then, I was afraid that my situation would be discovered, so I took the crystal to embark on a journey. In the following decades, I traveled through countless countries, learned a lot of knowledge, and saw a lot of things. I saw countless people living in suffering. I really wanted to do something. The last thing I could think of was to spread God's teachings."

"But the result is different from what I thought."

"In Constantinople, I was driven out and chased by the Holy See, and when I arrived in Syria, I continued to be hunted down. When I arrived in Siberia, they were still hunting down. Here, we still had to resist the evil natural environment. Later, the Mongols wanted to destroy us, and then experienced countless similar battles, including today, never stopped."

Speaking of this, Jacob's expression became a little dim.

“I act according to my ideals and spread God’s teachings and glory, but what did I bring to the people in the end?”

"There is no warmth and no peace. After they knew my secret, countless people wanted to compete for it. Therefore, my followers suffered endless suffering and have not stopped until now. As long as someone knows the prophet and has heard of the legend of the divine source, he will covet the immortality and death, and he has become the source of all disasters."

"I feel now that what I did is wrong. Perhaps it is time to give up all this. It has been a thousand years. I don't want this suffering to continue." Jacob said in a low tone.

Originally, he wanted to bring happiness to the people, but because of his ability to live and die, he was coveted by those in power and became the greatest source of suffering for him and his followers.

All this comes from greed.

Speaking of this, Jacob looked at the crystal in Jiang Hao's hand, smiled and said, "Jon, since you got it, he belongs to you now."

Jiang Hao was stunned, "You mean, give it to me?"

Jacob nodded, "When the Mongols invaded, I confined the souls of 300 Mongolian warriors to become immortal warriors. Now, I want to release them and leave. As for this 'immortal crystal', you can take it away."

Jacob said, slowly stretched out his hand to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao saw the blue crystal suddenly float out of the blue crystal. Jiang Hao had the magical power of "Sky Eye", so he could naturally see the souls floating out. They floated into the air one by one and then disappeared.

The yurt's soul completely disappeared, and Jacob took his hand back.

"Why do you do this?" Jiang Hao asked in confusion.

Jacob's face was very calm and said lightly: "Because they are no longer needed, there will be no holy cities and prophets in the future, and they do not need to protect anyone, so they should go where they should go."

Jiang Hao was shocked, "What do you want to do."

Jacob smiled, "I am going to take Sophia away from here and go to other places to live the life of ordinary people. From then on, this will not be my cage, nor will it be the confinement of my followers. From then on, there will be no prophet Jacob."

Jiang Hao was a little surprised that Jacob made this decision, but then he understood that the Holy City had indeed become a burden for Jacob and the villagers.

Jiang Hao put away the crystal. From then on, this crystal belonged to Jiang Hao. It was given to him by his original owner, which was legitimate.

But Jiang Hao thought,

The people of Holy Trinity pursue immortality for countless years. Constantine finally paid his life to fight for the sacred source, but they did not know that this crystal cannot make people live forever. The secret of Jacob's immortality was just because he was a psychic person with an immortal constitution.

It's really ironic.
