Chapter 6 - Master Jacob

Then we reached the capital it was the time of midnight, but I still remembered those streets and markets. And also, the path to Sim's house. I also thought what will I say if I get to meet Sim. Should I say those two kidnapped me or should I just say I left because I don't want to trouble you.

I asked Driver: How long till we reach your master mansion. 

Driver: Not much.

After we reached there, we got to know that this master Jacob is a very wealthy person. And the thing that his mansion is in the middle of the forest that means he don't want anyone to know what kind of work he does.

I also remember the driver said that he works for secret force of government. Maybe I get to know something about the government and about its secret operations or anything about the place of humans. 

Jacob: Welcome, everyone I hoped you don't have any trouble in your journey.

Solan: It wasn't a trouble we Just killed 50-60 monsters in pitch black darkness.

Jacob: But that seems a huge trouble.

Solan: If it seems a huge trouble why didn't you send any bodyguards to escort us.

Jacob: If I had known you wanted them, I probably would have sent. And the thing I didn't said any bodyguard was because was I hired you as my bodyguard only don't that means that I don't have any other guards. 

Solan: If you don't have any guard then who guards this place?

Jacob: We don't need any guard her because in middle of the there isn't anyone who will steal from this house, also a lock is enough to guard it from animals.

*Jacob appearance: He has a long face with decent moustache, his eyes are sharp, and his nose is thin and long, his forehead is decent, and hairs are straight and length is more than average.

Then we were given rooms to sleep. I was well prepared for anything because of this whole mansion was empty and I didn't believe that only two persons will be living in this mansion.

Also, if I compare it with Sim's place, I think it is even bigger than that.

Then in the morning we were just told to do shopping and get some rest whole day. We will leave for the mission tomorrow. 

There was a risk in getting caught by Sim's people or by Sim, but I need to go to the markets to buy some battle. So, I prepared myself if something happens.

Then all of us including Jacob, Solan and me shopped to buy that we will need in fighting that monster, we bought a good set of magic clothes for the safety of my body against magic attacks also I bought a device that connect me to solan. It is made by the use of teleportation magic. It is called Synchro.

This device teleports voice captured by one device to that of another. It is similar to walkie talkie in our worlds although it doesn't need any battery or connection for that. 

Solan bought tough vest that will protect him from physical attacks, it is quite durable and also very light. 

Then, it was turn for Jacob I was wondering what kind of magic he uses but then he asked the shopkeeper to show some accessories for short range combat fighters. That means he uses a short-range type of magic.

So, I asked him: Can I ask you what kind of magic you use?

He replied: I use observation magic.

I also asked: What are the benefits of that magic?

Jacob: For that I think it would be better if you see it when I fight.

He also bought what he needed, then we walked towards mansion. 

But I forgot that synchro which I purchased in that shop, So I went back and after I found that I was coming to meet both of them but then. 

Some people which were walking in the street saw me and captured me, they tied my hands and legs with magic absorbing rope. So, that I couldn't use any magic. Although I turned on my synchro so that means our communication would probably reach Solan and if possible, he may get to know the location.

So, I asked them questions about my location.

I asked: Where I am, and why did you bring me here?

They said: Don't worry you are in east area of the capital, No one can reach here, and you wouldn't be saved by any of them. But they can maybe reach, because east part of the city is close to the place we kidnapped him from.

I said: Oh, I see.

They said: Hey, why aren't you afraid?

I said: Why should I be afraid of you, it isn't the case that you would kill me, or you would take my money. As I don't have any money and killing a person in capital would give you more trouble than as the laws will punish you more than you get by killing me.

They said: Idiot, who would like to take money from you and about that law thing about killing you. The government's employ itself has ordered to kill you.

I thought that this maybe the work of one of the knights that met me in the court. And most probably I think I am correct. There may be a chance that it can be other than knight but that isn't possible because no one other than them know me.

Then the person whom everyone was waiting for arrived he was the knight whom I once met in the court along with the other knights. His appearance is not of a beast so he must belong from the Gods and devils. 

Although in this world the gods and devils don't live physically but there are persons who are made by the powers of these gods and devils and work on their behalf. Their appearance is similar to that of humans. I came to know this when solan when solan told me that he belongs to a devil and how the things actually work. Then he also told me that although his appearance is like a human, but people can usually differentiate him with humans because he has quite greater mana same is the case with Gods. 

Although both have high amount of mana, but devils can't use it directly like the Gods use it for magic. Instead, these devils use it in the form of physical powers. They convert this mana to insane physical powers which is as powerful as Gods magical powers.

That also explains the case why others quickly recognised me when I was first reincarnated in this world that means that I had absolutely no mana back then. And in this world only humans have no mana. Also, since God reincarnated me in this world, he gave me ability to use magical powers due to which I got to use magic. And till the time I met Solan my skills were so polished that he also didn't recognise that I was a human. He just took me to a person who belongs to the god but has lost memories of his past.

According to him I lost my past memories, so he was just right to even work with a person of God. Because I didn't know the reason for their fighting and was ready to trust Solan.

Then the knight who arrived asked me

Why did you leave all of a sudden?

I replied: It's my life so I can take decision which works best for my future.

Knight: Do you even know how much trouble you caused for Sim after that.

I said: Well, I didn't have any other options. Also isn't it a first priority of yours to work towards dream than to think about someone else.

Knight: Do you even understand that we trusted a human like you and gave you everything a human can only imagine in this country. But no matter how much good you do to a bad person he will always remain bad.

I said: Think whatever you like but that is my way of doing things. Also, I will tell you that I don't have the habit of working for someone.

On the other side

Solan: Let's go check the shop he forgets that synchro because he is taking too much time.

Jacob: You don't need to do that; it will take too much time also we wouldn't find him that way.

Solan: How do you know that we wouldn't be able to find him?

Jacob: By using my observation magic, I can already tell that he has left this place and have gone a little far from main market.

Solan: I see. So, what can we do know.

Jacob: I will communicate with other people who works aside me in the secret agency. So, they must be observing some odd movements in this capital by citron.

*citron : It is an object used to display real time image just like camera but works on magic.

Jacob: They said some got kidnapped around the area of the shop where William went to take synchro. They would probably find them because they saw the faces of people who kidnapped him.

.....

Jacob: Yeah, they found that those people went to a underground basement in the east of the city.

Solan: How much time will it take to get there?

Jacob: I think 5 minutes. (Superfast car>)

Solan: Don't mind if I ask why are you doing this just for a person who came to help tomorrow?

Jacob: Sorry, but I can't tell you that.

Solan: Well, I don't mind just head there quickly.

Knight: So, William what should we do with you since I don't like the idea of getting everyone involved, I will be taking the decision here only. You know it is too complicated first arrest the person then took him under surveillance I will end that by killing you.

Solan: So, that means you will kill me.

Knight: For sure.

Now that he has reminded me of death, I remembered the last time I died. Oh god, just thinking of it makes me scare. It is much scarier than the past time because this time there is no second time and a person who has experienced a death wouldn't like to do that once again. Unlike other persons who forget about the pain and struggling I still remember every little details of that.

I remember the way my physical conditions were going worse because I got to work in company that used to overexploit employs also since the earning wasn't enough, I had eaten very little in a day. I was just doing what a usual person can do even when I came to face death, I couldn't find out what was my talent and which work would let me succeed.

So, I was in bed for whole 3 months until I finally died. It is as if that it happened just yesterday.

But I got to do what I am here for and now that I got this interesting world, I would say that it would be better if I won't die. It is not now I can do anything I have already done everything I could. And the point of using magic is not even a scenario because my abilities won't work until some else fights me with magic. 

The only thing now that can save me is this synchro which I turned on right before I was kidnapped. Well, I do trust Solan, but the thing is they speak very little of this location So it would be probably next to impossible for him to find me in this huge capital.

As I was thinking about that the time came when the knight used a fire magic and launched that attack towards me. It was so fast that before my face reacted to that it burned me to death.

 And I died...
