Chapter 256 Jacob and the Heart of Justice

If you continue to go north from the Duchy of Winter, which is already in the north, until you break away from the big barrier formed by the storm, you can reach the "Amber Sea".

In that ocean, there is a large amount of amber floating.

Further north from there is the extreme north of the world - the infinite glacier commonly known as the "Great Glacier".

If you compare it with a map of the Earth... this is pretty much where the Greenland ice sheet is.

In such a place, basically no plants can survive. Except for a few beasts, only the fish under the ice and the seabirds passing by can eat it.

The difference from the earth is that the air and water sources here have been polluted by gray fog. Almost all the dwarves and giants who lived here died here because of the shattering of the Great Barrier and the influx of gray mist.

Only a few dwarves of less than three figures survived, and nearly all the giants perished.

The strong curse and resentment alienated this land. Icebergs have risen one after another in the ice sheet area, which was barely inhabitable. The essence of these glaciers is actually one ice coffin after another.

Because of these curses, the temperature in the nearby area plummeted to the point that even with warm equipment, it would be easy to freeze to death.

It is very dangerous to travel here.

The excessive curse filled in the gray fog made all props such as the compass invalid.

Even spells and rituals will be deformed and cannot be used. All the food and water carried are extremely perishable, and the wounds cannot heal at all. Once you get a disease, you will not recover...

Because of this, there will be no passers-by here. It is precisely because of this that the heart of justice has never been discovered.

Zhi Ji flew here in the form of a dragon about a month ago.

She bears the task entrusted by her Lord Yaon——

Find the Heart of Justice for Annan within one month, plus draw three magic paintings.

It has to be said that Yaweng's judgment on her is so precise - Yaweng's demand is just right for Zhiji's current level, she must put all her heart and soul into drawing to make a good magic painting.

"Really," Zhi Ji, who was flying in the sky, complained, "Don't put two things that need to be done seriously and let me do it..."

At the beginning, Zhi Ji wanted to find the heart of justice first, and then concentrate on painting.

Otherwise, if she always thinks about unfinished things in her heart, Zhi Ji thinks that she will become anxious and unable to devote herself wholeheartedly. So he couldn't reach his highest level - the level that could surpass Jawon and make Jawon satisfied.

Although complaining, Zhi Ji still understood in her heart.

Compared with the "homework" given to her by Yaweng like painting, it is more important to find a heart of justice for Annan.

... As a result, Zhiji searched for a whole month, but she still couldn't find the heart of justice. In desperation, she can only start painting after the deadline, at least she can deliver one job when she goes back.

She had already completed the first two paintings, depicting glaciers and arctic storms.

In the third painting, I was asked to draw myself flying over the glacier.

Although Zhi Ji knew her appearance very well,

But I still have to find a place to take a scene-by the way, I can also look for the heart of justice.

Even though she doesn't have much hope...

"……Ok?"

Zhi Ji suddenly saw someone from a distance.

It seemed to be a certain man, who fell in front of a cave, motionless.

Judging from the fact that his body was not yet covered with snow, he should not have fallen for too long.

—Is it a lost traveler?

Go down and see if he is still alive.

If he still has breath, go and save him by the way.

Zhi Ji thought.

With gorgeous wings, the pure white dragon that anyone can feel "beautiful and elegant" descends slowly. And the moment it touched the ground, it turned into a human form.

The man seemed to have vaguely heard something, and wanted to raise his head, but he just squirmed and failed.

——Sure enough, he is still alive!

"Are you OK?"

Zhi Ji hurried over and took out a red crayon.

She draws a cartoon red heart in the air, then paints it all over.

Then, she put this heart into the passenger's body.

It was as if the "life value" in the game fluctuated, and the red in the red heart slowly dropped like a liquid, as if it had been injected into the passenger's body.

When the red heart turned into a hollow red outline again, the pale to almost blue skin of the passenger returned to blood.

He coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

The first time he saw Zhi Ji's face... perhaps because he was not sober enough, he was not charmed, but strong confusion and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"……His Majesty?"

he murmured.

"what?"

Zhi Ji was stunned instead: "Do you know Annan?"

The traveler was taken aback.

His consciousness gradually returned to his body, and he slowly sat up from the snow.

This time, when he clearly saw Zhi Ji, he was also shocked by that overwhelming beauty. But before Zhi Ji continued to treat him, he himself quickly regained consciousness.

"...You are Zhi Ji, right?"

He quickly shifted his eyes skillfully, looked at the glacier in the distance, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a ceremonial master who belongs to Grand Duke Annan... looking for a treasure for His Majesty's Endless Glacier. My name is Jacob, Can you contact His Majesty Annan?"

"You're not here to find the Heart of Justice, are you?"

Zhi Ji blurted out.

"……you too?"

Jacob was also taken aback for a moment: "Your Majesty is in such a hurry to ask for it..."

He hesitated for a while, and quickly made a decision: "Since you are Your Excellency Zhi Ji, I think this should be entrusted to you.

"I can't use other teleportation rites with it. But if I want you to take me out, it would be too presumptuous..."

As Jacob said, he took off the leather glove on his left hand with difficulty with his still stiff right hand.

What caught Zhi Ji's eyes was a round hole.

Immediately, she subconsciously wanted to heal the ritual master's injury. But soon she judged from the beauty of the scar that it should be a trace left by a ceremony.

Jacob took out a key and put his left hand on the ice. Insert the key from the black hole on the back of the hand.

At that moment, Zhi Ji clearly heard a "click" sound from the machine spring.

But it is impossible to have that kind of spring in hand. This can only be some kind of auditory hallucination - the trace left by modifying the world with rituals.

...about the ritual of the lock?

Zhi Ji thought to herself.

A new inspiration suddenly appeared in her heart, but out of politeness, she still didn't interrupt the ritualist's actions.

I saw Jacob chanting in a low voice:

"I am the lock, and the steel is the key——I open my flesh and blood with a hole of light, just like opening all doors with a key."

As he spoke, he slowly turned the key.

There was a sound of the lock cylinder turning in the air out of thin air.

"I penetrate myself with light, as a key opens a lock. Therefore I am the door—I am the door of secret treasures, the door of flesh and blood."

Bright golden light overflowed from Jacob's palm.

At the same time as seeing that light, Zhi Ji suddenly felt a powerful pump in her heart.

Jacob motioned Zhi Ji to hold it down.

It was as if it would suddenly fly away the next moment.

When Zhi Ji stretched out her hand to hold it, she immediately felt a burning sensation and a strong sense of repulsion. It's like the high temperature of a soldering iron, and it's like the feeling when two magnets are forced together.

At the same time, she felt her heart shaped by the light world beating violently almost synchronously with this scorching light ball.

Not flesh and blood. It is a collection of light and heat.

She has already realized why she still can't find a heart of justice...the reason is here.

Annan's subordinate, the ceremonial master named Jacob, had already found the heart of justice.

But the heart of justice is scorching hot, shining with brilliance that can be seen from ten miles away... This is not a heat that mortals can normally hold, and it is even more impossible for him to create a vessel that can imprison the holy bones.

In order to allow himself to transport it smoothly, and in order not to be discovered and taken away by others, he protected the Heart of Justice to a foreign world that even the gods could not peek at—that is, the inside of his body. But because of this, he lost the ability to teleport... In the process of walking back and crossing the glacier, he finally collapsed in the endless glacier from exhaustion.

"Thank you, Jacob. You are a great ritualist."

Zhi Ji said softly: "I will truthfully tell Annan about your achievements... Now, can you go back by yourself?"

Hearing this, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good...you don't have to worry about me, I will send it back to Lin Dong directly. And report this matter to His Royal Highness Dmitry.

"If I don't have to transport the Heart of Justice, it's easy for me to teleport this distance."

Although his breath was still a little weak, Jacob's words were full of confidence: "If possible... please speak a few words for me in front of the Grand Duke."

"I will."

Zhi Ji affirmed.
