The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 256: Jacob and the Heart of Justice
If you continue walking north from the Principality 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 are a lot of amber floating.
Further north from there is the world's far north - the infinite glacier commonly known as the "Great Glacier".
If compared with a map of the Earth...this is almost where the Greenland ice sheet is.
In this kind of place, basically no plants can survive. Except for a few wild animals, only the fish under the ice and passing seabirds can be eaten.
The difference from the earth is that the air and water here have been polluted by gray fog. Almost all the dwarves and giants who lived here before died here because of the shattering of the great barrier and the influx of gray mist.
Only less than three digits of dwarves survived, and almost all the giants died as a result.
Strong curses and resentments have alienated this land. Ice cap areas that were once barely inhabitable have seen icebergs rise one after another - and the essence of these glaciers is actually ice coffins one after another.
Due to these curses, the temperature in the nearby area has also plummeted, reaching a point where it is easy to freeze to death even with thermal equipment.
It is very dangerous to travel here.
The excessive curses filled in the gray fog made all props such as compasses ineffective.
Even spells and rituals will be distorted and cannot be used. All food and water carried are extremely perishable, and wounds cannot be healed at all. Once you get a disease, you will not recover...
Because of this, no passers-by will pass by here. It is precisely because of this that the heart of justice has never been discovered.
Zhi Ji turned into a giant dragon and flew here about a month ago.
She is burdened with the mission given by her main **** Yawen——
Find the heart of justice for Annan within one month, and also draw three magic paintings.
It has to be said that Yaweng's judgment of her was so accurate - Yaweng's request happened to be a magic painting that Zhiji was at her current level and she had to devote herself wholeheartedly to painting.
"Really," Zhiji flying in the sky complained, "don't throw two things that I need to do seriously together and let me do it..."
In the beginning, Zhiji wanted to find her heart of justice and then concentrate on painting.
Otherwise, if you are always thinking about unfinished things, Zhiji thinks that you will become anxious and unable to devote yourself to it. Therefore, he will not be able to reach his highest level - the level that can surpass Yaweng and satisfy Yaweng.
Although she complained, Zhi Ji still understood in her heart.
Compared with the "homework" given to her by Ya Weng such as painting, finding a heart of justice for Annan is the more important business.
... As a result, Zhi Ji searched for a whole month, but she still couldn't find the heart of justice. In desperation, she could only start painting after the deadline, so that she could at least deliver the same work when she returned.
She has already completed the first two paintings depicting glaciers and extreme cold storms.
The third painting requires drawing oneself flying over the glacier.
Although Zhi Ji knows her appearance very well, she still has to find a place to take a picture - and by the way, she can also look for the heart of justice.
Although she actually doesn’t have much hope anymore...
"...huh?"
Zhi Ji suddenly saw someone from a distance.
It seemed to be a man, lying motionless in front of a cave.
Judging from the fact that his body was not covered with snow, it shouldn't have been long since he fell.
——A lost traveler?
Go down first and see if he is still alive.
If he still has a breath, go and save him.
Zhi Ji thought.
The pure white dragon with gorgeous wings that anyone could feel "beautiful and elegant" descended slowly. And turned into a human form the moment it touched the ground.
The man seemed to hear something vaguely and wanted to raise his head, but failed after just squirming.
——He is indeed alive!
"Are you okay?"
Zhi Ji quickly moved over and took out a red crayon.
She drew a cartoon red heart in the air and then filled it in.
Then, she penetrated this heart into the passenger's body.
Just like the "health value" in the game fluctuates, the red color in the red heart slowly drops like liquid, as if it has been injected into the passenger's body.
When the red heart turned into a hollow red outline again, the passenger's pale to almost cyan skin regained its color.
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 instead had strong confusion and surprise in his eyes.
"...Your Majesty?"
He murmured.
"Huh?"
Zhi Ji was stunned: "Do you know Annan?"
The passenger was startled.
His consciousness gradually returned to his body, and he slowly sat up from the snow.
This time, when he saw Zhi Ji clearly, he was also shocked by the overwhelming beauty. But before Zhiji could continue to treat him, he quickly regained consciousness.
"...You are Paper Princess, right?"
He quickly and skillfully averted his gaze, looked at the glacier in the distance, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a ritual master affiliated with Grand Duke Annan... I came to the Endless Glacier to find a certain treasure for His Majesty. My name is Ya Gebu, 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 startled: "Your Majesty, are you so anxious to get it..."
He hesitated for a while and then quickly decided: "Since you are Lord Zhiji, I think I can entrust this to you.
"I can't use other teleportation rituals with it. But if I want you to take me out, it would be too presumptuous..."
Jacob said, using his still somewhat stiff right hand to take off the leather glove on his left hand with difficulty.
What caught Zhi Ji's eyes was a round hole.
She immediately and subconsciously wanted to heal the injury of the ritual master. But she soon judged from the beauty of the scar that it should be a mark left by a ritual.
I saw Jacob taking out a key and clasping his left hand on the ice. Stick the key through the black hole on the back of your hand.
At that moment, Zhi Ji clearly heard the "click" sound of the machine spring.
But it is impossible to have that kind of mechanical spring in your hand. This can only be some kind of auditory hallucination - the traces left behind by ritually modifying the world.
...About the ritual of locking?
Zhi Ji thought.
A new inspiration suddenly emerged in her heart, but out of politeness, she still did not interrupt the ritualist's actions.
I saw Jacob singing in a low voice:
"I am the lock, and the steel is the key - I use light to open my flesh and blood, just like I use keys to open all doors."
As he spoke, he slowly turned the key.
The sound of the lock cylinder turning sounded out of thin air.
"I penetrate myself with light, just as a key penetrates the lock of a door. Therefore, I am the door - I am the door of the secret treasure, the door of flesh and blood."
Bright golden light overflowed from Jacob's palm.
When she saw the light, Zhi Ji suddenly felt her heart pumping strongly.
Jacob motioned to Paper Princess to hold it down.
It was as if it would suddenly fly away the next moment.
When Zhi Ji reached out and pressed it, she immediately felt a hot burning sensation and a strong sense of repulsion. It was as hot as a soldering iron, or like the feeling when two magnets are pressed together forcibly.
At the same time, she felt that her heart, which was shaped by the light world, was beating fiercely almost in sync with the scorching ball of light.
Not flesh and blood. Rather, it is a collection of light and heat.
She has realized why she can never find the heart of justice... The reason is here.
Annan's subordinate~IndoMTL.com~a ritualist named Jacob has long since found his heart of justice.
But the Heart of Justice is scorching hot, shining with a brilliance that can be seen ten miles away... This is not a heat that a mortal can normally hold, and it is even less possible for him to create a vessel that can imprison the holy bones.
In order to allow him to transport it smoothly and to prevent others from discovering and taking it away, he protected his heart of justice in a different world that even gods could not pry into - that is, the inside of his body. But because of this, he lost the ability to teleport... While hiking back across the glacier, he finally collapsed in the endless glacier from exhaustion.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jacob. You are an amazing 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 teleport directly back to Winter. And report the matter to His Highness Dmitry.
"If I don't have to transport my heart of justice, it would be easy for me to transport this distance."
Although his breath was still a little weak, Jacob's words were full of confidence: "If you can... please say a few nice words for me in front of the Grand Duke."
"I will."
Zhi Ji affirmed.
