Sophia limped Jacob to a courtyard in the middle of the village, a typical Russian mountain dwelling, a two-story spire made of logs.

The room was very warm, there was an embers burning in the fireplace, Sophia helped Jacob to sit in front of the fireplace, added a few sticks of firewood to the fireplace, turned to Jiang Hao and Laura and said enthusiastically, "It will be warmer for you to sit here, I'll go get some food." ”

All of them still haven't eaten dinner.

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

Sophia was very happy, "Okay, I'll get Dad and Jon a hot cup of coffee first, and then we'll see what is ready." ”

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

The two did not look away, but kept looking at each other, and 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 falling behind.

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

"Jacob, Jacob, the names are similar, aren't they." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Jacob now knew that the other party should know where he came from, and he said lightly: "I never deliberately hid anything, just for a simpler life. ”

"But now it seems that your life may not be very good, you know that I don't mean material things, at your level, I know that I have broken away from the pursuit of material things." Jiang Hao said.

Jacob was silent for a while, his eyes looked at the fire that was gradually burning next to him, and said in a low tone: "Yes, it's not good, I've been doing what I think is meaningful, trying to relieve the world's suffering, but in the end, I found that things don't seem to be going as I imagined at all. ”

"And what is your ideal?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Follow in God's footsteps, save the wretched world, and let this world be full of love and sunshine, and less strife and killing."

"Alas~~~", Jacob let out a long sigh at this point.

At this time, Sophia came out of the kitchen, holding a silver plate with a ceramic coffee pot and two coffee cups on it, walked over and placed it on the table next to her, and said, "Daddy, Jon, the coffee is ready." ”

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

Jacob took the coffee cup and smiled at his daughter, Jiang Hao took the cup and thanked him, "Okay, let's talk, I'll make dinner with Sister Laura." He turned and left.

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

Jacob shook his head, "Only the Acropolis Village Priest knows my identity, and the rest of the village doesn't know at all, including Sophia and even her mother. ”

Taking a sip of coffee, Jacob said, "Jon, I can feel a divine power from you, though it is different from mine."

Jiang Hao didn't hide it, "Strictly speaking, I'm also a monk. ”

"Do you have faith?" Jacob asked.

"Of course, I believe in 'Taoism', and I am an ordained Taoist priest." Jiang Hao said.

"Taoism, I know, the Mongols attacked the city of Kit, I led people to repel them, and then I went to the Mengyuan country, I heard about the sect of 'Taoism', and I also heard some of their legends." Jacob said.

Hearing this, although Jiang Hao knew that he had lived for more than a thousand years, he was still shocked, and it was really strange to see people from the Great Yuan Dynasty sitting and drinking coffee with him.

Jacob looked at Jiang Hao, "Jon, I can feel that you have ever touched the blue crystal, right?" ”

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

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

If he secretly took it away, he would have taken it, but now that he was noticed by the master, Jiang Hao couldn't lie, although that blue crystal might be related to the secret of immortality.

Jacob glanced at the blue crystal deeply, but shook his head, the other party's action made Jiang Hao a little surprised.

"Want to know the secrets of the Divine Source?" Jacob said.

"Of course!"

For this secret, the Holy Trinity has been tracking down for countless years, and Count Crawford has also investigated it for a long time, and now that he has the opportunity to know this secret, Jiang Hao is naturally very interested.

Jacob seemed to have a great desire to talk now, perhaps because he felt that Jiang Hao was the same person and it was easier to communicate.

"Let's start with the blue crystal in your hand, in fact, it is not a 'sacred source', I don't know what his name is, and later because of its effect, it was named 'immortal crystal', he has an ability, that is, he can control it to absorb the souls of the dead, and then transform into an undead warrior."

Jiang Hao suddenly felt in his heart, it turned out that this was the case.

"What is that divine source?" Jiang Hao asked.

Jacob seemed to be lost in thought, and said slowly: "I was originally a monk, and when I was preaching at a farmer's house, I accidentally saw this crystal, and when I saw it, I was deeply attracted to him, and it seemed to feel that it was calling me, and I later learned that it was because I felt his energy fluctuations. ”

"I bought it from the farmer, took it back to study, and after touching it, I felt a warm energy coming out of the blue crystal, and since then I have the ability, that is, immortality and healing ability, and this crystal is just the carrier of that energy."

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt a slight disappointment in his heart, and it seemed that there was no hope of gaining the ability to live forever.

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

There are not many people in this world who have superpowers, and it is not unusual for Jacob to have them.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Hao felt that many things about Jacob could be explained.

He is not a god,

Not omnipotent,

It's just a person who has an immortal body and healing superpowers.

It's just that he chose to preach, so he was called a prophet, and if he joins the 'Avengers', he will be a Deadpool + nurse at most.

oh

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

"And then." Jiang Hao asked curiously.

"Then, I was afraid that my situation would be discovered, so I took the crystal and set out on a journey, and in the decades that followed, I traveled to countless countries, and I learned a lot, and I saw a lot of things, and I saw countless people living in misery, and I wanted to do something, and the last thing I could think of was to spread the teachings of God."

"But it turned out differently than I thought."

"In Constantinople, I was expelled and hunted by the Holy See, and in Syria, I continued to be hunted down, and in Siberia, they are still hunting, and here we have to fight against the evil natural environment, and then the Mongols tried to destroy us, and then we went through countless similar battles, including today, and they have never stopped."

At this point, Jacob's expression darkened a little,

"I acted according to my ideals and spread the doctrine and splendor of God, but what did I bring to the people in the end?"

"There is no warmth, there is no peace, after they learned my secret, countless people wanted to fight for it, and because of this, my followers suffered untold suffering, and it has not stopped until now, as long as anyone knows about the prophet and hears the legend of the divine source, they will covet immortality, and he has become the source of all disasters."

"I now feel that what I did was wrong, perhaps, it's time to give up all this, it's been a thousand years, and 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 immortal ability, he was coveted by those in power, and became the greatest source of suffering for him and his followers.

It's all born of greed.

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

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

Jacob nodded, "When the Mongols invaded, I imprisoned the souls of 300 Mongolian warriors to become undead warriors, and now, I want to release them and leave, as for this 'immortal crystal', you can take it." ”

Jacob said, slowly stretched out his hand to Jiang Hao's side, Jiang Hao saw that the blue crystal suddenly floated out, Jiang Hao had the 'Heavenly Eye' supernatural power, and he could naturally see the souls floating out, only to see them floating into the air one by one, and then disappeared.

The yurt's soul vanished completely, and Jacob withdrew his hand.

"Why are you doing this?" Jiang Hao asked suspiciously.

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

Jiang Hao was shocked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Jacob smiled, "I'm going to take Sophia out of here and go to other places and live an ordinary life, from now on, this will not be my cage, let alone the prison of my followers, and from now on, there will be no prophet Jacob." ”

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

Jiang Hao put away the crystal, and from then on, this crystal was Jiang Hao's, and it was given to him by his original master, and it was justified.

But Jiang Hao thought,

The people of the Holy Trinity have been pursuing immortality for countless years, and Constantine finally paid his life for the source of the divine, but they don't know that this crystal does not make people immortal, and the secret of Jacob's immortality is only because he is an extraordinary person with an immortal physique.

It's kind of ironic.
