After a few seconds, all of Jacob's external and internal injuries were healed and as he opened his eyes, Jacob could see again and happiness filled his heart.
Although he didn't want to think about it, he knew how important the feeling was that he was experiencing at that moment.
But as he could see again, he quickly closed his eyes and said:
"Do you want to put on some clothes?"
Angelica noticed that she was naked and quickly ran to her closet and said:
"Don't open your eyes!"
Since Jacob was not interested in seeing Angelica naked, he turned around and started walking to the bathroom to take a shower.
Entering the bathroom, Jacob looked at himself in the mirror and started to see his face and body, but to his unhappiness, his body had several scars except for his face, But strangely, Jacob noticed that he was more muscular than normal and thought:
'Wasn't I skinny? How come I have such a defined abdomen? And look at these arms, even though the scars are blocking the view, I can see the defined muscles.'
Leaving this thought for another time, he took off his only clothes, which were his bloody and dirty pants, and stepped into the shower.
Instead of washing himself, he leaned his head against the wall and let the water fall on his body and closed his eyes as he remembered all the torture he had felt, but deciding to repress those memories and feelings for another day, he quickly began to clean himself as he thought:
'Tomorrow's problems I will leave to solve tomorrow...'

After taking a shower, jacob heard angelica say:
"I picked up some new clothes for you to wear, you can throw those pants of yours in the trash."
Jacob did not respond and continued to stare at the water coming into the drain as he was lost in thought.
"Jacob?"
Pulling him out of those thoughts was hearing his name being called and he answered as he regained his composure:
"I heard it, thank you."
Jacob calmly walked out wet and saw several clean, dry towels in a closet and quickly grabbed one and dried himself off.
After drying himself, he noticed that there were men's clothes folded on top of the closet in the bathroom and quickly put them on and left the bathroom.
As he left, Jacob noticed Angelica kneeling as she prayed and looked at a chair by the window and started to walk over to it and sat down.
After sitting down, he opened the curtains a little and started to look at the night sky while reflecting:
'I like this peace... it seems like years since I've had this feeling.'
Suddenly, angelica said to him:
"While you were in the bath, several soldiers were scouring the city looking for you."
Jacob continued to stare at the night sky without answering her, he didn't want to think about any problems right now, he just wanted to enjoy this peace and rest.
Noticing jacob's silence, angelica decided to ask a question:
"Where do you plan to hide?"
Jacob lowered his gaze to the guards running through the streets and thought for a moment and answered:
"I'm leaving when dawn breaks, until then I'm going to stay hidden here."
"You're not going to sleep? It won't be dawn for another six hours."
"I'm not sleepy."
"Hm... I find it difficult From the state your body was in, you're probably mentally tired. I think you should rest by enjoying the darkness of the night."
"Sigh, I'm fine, you can go to sleep now and rest assured, I won't do anything to you."
"I know you won't, not least because I have conjured every possible shield around me."
Jacob did not answer her and continued to stare at the night sky as he was plunged into that peace.
Angelica noticed that Jacob didn't want to talk so she quickly lay down and started to sleep...
(Small detail: She used cleansing and purification magic on the bed to sleep).
4 hours later...
Jacob woke up in a cold sweat because of a nightmare he had had. The subject of the nightmare was in a torture room.
Jacob quickly got up tired and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink.
Angelica who had woken up because of Jacob's screams, watched him and reflected:
'There must be scars on his mind and soul...'
after drinking the body of water, he leaned his two hands on the table and closed his eyes and suddenly he heard angelica say:
"Are you okay?"
"Sigh, I'm fine.... Do you have any alcoholic beverages?"
"You know I'm a church saint right? Why would I have something like that?
"Just give me the fucking drink."
Realizing she couldn't fool Jacob, Angelica sighed in defeat and picked up an alcoholic bottle from under her bed and gave it to him.
Jacob walked over and took the bottle and a body and sat down at the same table and began to drink.
After some time watching jacob, angelica asked him:
"Why do you drink alcohol? I drink to forget about responsibilities, don't you?"
"I used to drink to have fun, but now it's to forget the pain..."
Angelica stared at Jacob after hearing his answer and looked away to the window and reflected on those words...
Jacob just poured himself a drink and went back to drinking.

In a military tent, Astrid was looking at a map of the city while she pondered:
'We've searched most of the city but haven't found a single trace of him yet.'
Suddenly, several heroes started to enter the tent and one of the heroes said:
"Are you finally going to give us our first mission?"
Astrid turned to the hero and noticed his appearance; A man as handsome as Raphael if not even more so. His hair is blond and his eyes are as red as blood.
After analyzing the hero's appearance, Astrid answered him:
"You must be Ryan, right? And answering your question, yes, your first mission will be to find the fugitive spy."
"Oh? You remember me?"
Astrid made a confused face and replied:
"I was forced to memorize the names of all the heroes, so it is normal that I remember you."
After hearing Astrid's answer, Ryan made a shocked face, but suddenly, Emma entered the conversation:
"Do you know the possible places the spy might be hiding?"
"Honestly, he could be hiding anywhere in the kingdom, or he could still be inside the sewers, but we're not sure yet."
"Hm... I remember I was told that the sewers are packed with monsters, so how is it possible that he is there?"
(Explanation: indeed the sewers do have monsters, but not in abundance as they imagine. The reason no monsters have attacked jacob, is because he has no mana, making the monsters think that jacob is an object and not a living being).
"As I said before, we don't know for sure. Erick entered the sewers a few hours ago looking for the spy, all we should do is focus on the surface of the kingdom."
"Got it... Where do we start?"
.
.
.
In the sewers, Erick was cleaning his sword after killing a giant monster that possessed tentacles 50 feet long.
He sighed wearily and went back to looking for Jacob as he reflected:
'I thought there would be more monsters, but so far I've only found two monsters . This is strange, both the size of the monsters and also their strength. I feel that there is something dangerous inside this sewer...'
