It is not a wise choice to directly cover the flesh and blood with "iron plate".
The process is very painful and has a high mortality rate. This is not a technique used by nobles and high-class people.
The "body" here means "body" in a literal sense.
Bart called it "Slave Armor" because it was a technique used on dead soldiers and slaves.
The slave armor is nailed to the human body and cannot be removed. After being removed, the only way is death.
The piece behind it is not a simple iron plate, but inside is a great creation of steam machinery.
The needle penetrates into the blood vessel and extracts blood as fuel, triggering a special resonance from the rest of the armor.
Let the dead soldiers move like normal people, even faster, without being weighed down.
Of course, the most important thing about slave armor is its defensive power.
As long as you protect your head, you can become a "man of steel" and protect your master from danger.
A big shot would definitely not wear something like this on his body.
However, there may be one or two bodyguards around them who will wear slave armor - the more formal name is blood pattern armor, so named because of the red lines on the iron plate.
These lines are caused by blood slowly seeping through over the years.
Baron Bart wears blood-patterned armor because he was not a big shot and had a tragic but inspiring past.
His rise in Linton only occurred within this decade.
Thirty years ago, Bart was a slave in the Colosseum who was equipped with blood-patterned armor and fought with other beasts.
From being a war slave to becoming a baron today is quite inspiring.
The blood-patterned armor on his body was a secret that his wife, who was born in a declining noble family, and his two children never knew.
In fact, even I have almost forgotten that unbearable period, which was only more than a year, not too long but extremely painful.
Today's Baron Bart has long lost the bloody courage he once had, and has become not much different from other "big men".
After figuring this out, Xia Yanzhen asked: "Don't you think I am Jack the Ripper, and you think of me as someone from the Colosseum?"
Bart gave Xia Yanzhen a strange look and replied: "That place was established by a big businessman. Later he went bankrupt and died."
"Ah, so you weren't killed?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"……no."
Baron Bart held it in for a few seconds and then said.
The informal "Colosseum" closed down completely when its owner went bankrupt, and he regained his freedom.
This is not an exciting story about fighting your way out.
Of course, this does not affect the motivation of going from war slave to baron.
If Bart was really killed, he would not have his current status.
"Okay, then in Linton, are there many people like you?" Xia Yanzhen, who thought too much, asked, "I mean people who nail iron plates to their bodies."
"Not much. This technology was declared illegal twenty years ago." Baron Bart said, "But that's not the reason. It's not because it's an old-fashioned method."
The death rate is too high, and it is more about improving defense, but not outstanding in other aspects.
Over time, this technology became obsolete.
Of course, no matter whether the technology is old or illegal, it cannot stop the big shots from placing one or two dead soldiers in their residences.
Baron Bart is considered a big shot in Lingtong. He doesn't have such a dead man because he has one himself and doesn't need any extra ones.
It is still very expensive to raise slaves and dead soldiers, as the bankrupt businessman must have understood.
"Well, tell me more about Jack the Ripper."
After learning about the slave armor technology, Xia Yanzhen turned his focus back to the mission of Jack the Ripper.
"Jack the Ripper...is a madman." Baron Bart thought for a while and said.
"You know him?"
"I don't know him," Baron Bart said, "but as long as he knew what he did, anyone would think he was a madman."
"How to say?"
"You can tell just by looking at the people he killed."
"I haven't read the newspaper, and there is no specific information about the victim in the newspaper. I only know that the identity is extraordinary. I don't know who he killed specifically." Xia Yanzhen said, "The newspaper didn't dare to say it clearly. It seems that the person who died was indeed
Very important."
Added a sentence of my own analysis.
Baron Bart looked at Xia Yanzhen and finally couldn't help but ask: "You just came to Linton?"
"That's right, answer my question." Xia Yanzhen didn't bother to weave a suitable identity for himself.
"The seven dead include three old nobles and four new nobles." Bart explained in the most concise language, "The Ripper offended not a certain person or a certain group of people, but the entire Linton and the entire Inver."
The positions, identities, and factions of Linton's upper echelons and big shots are quite complex.
But if you want to simplify it, it is very simple, there are only two types - the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy.
The Ripper came with a "double kill". How can such a person not be considered a madman?
"I have offended the whole Linton, Inver, so have you caught any clues about him?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
Bart was silenced when asked directly, and he shook his head in silence.
"No? Not at all?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"You could say that," Bart said.
Others may not be able to give such a definite answer, but Bart and Grantfield are close friends.
He really knew the progress of the Jack the Ripper investigation very clearly.
Progress is terrible.
Apart from identifying the opponent's unique criminal methods, Grantfield didn't know much more about Jack the Ripper than he did in "Once Upon a Time in Clinton".
"Since you haven't caught any clues, why do you think I'm not Jack the Ripper?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"If Jack the Ripper was as high-profile as you, we would have caught him long ago." Bart said.
Contrary to Jack the Ripper's fiery reputation, is the Ripper's own behavior.
He is a ghost in Linton. Except for the deceased, no one has contacted or seen him.
It is even doubted whether it exists at all - if the seven deceased people did not die in the same way.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jack the Ripper's elusiveness can be glimpsed from the places where the seven deceased died.
The two deceased died in their carriage.
According to the coachman's recollection, he was driving normally (going home) at night, and the deceased was sitting alone in the carriage.
They were driving in the car and smelled the smell of blood on the road. They realized something was wrong, opened the car door and saw that the man had been disemboweled and dead.
He died quietly while the carriage was moving.
The doors were closed, and the coachman didn't even notice anyone getting in or out of the carriage.
There were two other deceased persons who died at parties, one was at a dance party and the other was at an ordinary party.
The place of death was the bathroom.
Before discovering the deceased, no one was aware or noticed anything unusual - except that the deceased took a long time to go to the toilet.
The other three deceased died in their beds at home.
If the carriage and dance party are outside, there is a possibility of outsiders approaching.
At home, the possibility of outsiders approaching is greatly reduced.
Especially these three dead people, the last three dead people.
After the death of four prominent figures, the upper class has begun to feel insecure.
The protection of your home is naturally at its best.
The doors and windows were locked, the windows were reinforced with iron plates, and there were bodyguards outside the room.
However, even in such a well-protected secret room, people are still dead. When you enter the room at night, it is full of life, but when you look at it the next morning, it is cold.
There are carriages that never stop, parties and dances in full view, and secret rooms.
In three extremely difficult environments, Jack the Ripper left nothing behind but his body.
He is like a ghost, appearing suddenly, killing people, and then disappearing suddenly.
Not to mention Grand Field, even if you can call the Grand Field police officers around, point at the higher-level detectives, the detectives will scold them and tell them to stay away, because their presence has lowered the entire line.
The great detectives who have street IQ and affect their own thinking are all at a loss.
It's not just Grant Yard who's looking, it's the Detective.
Little detectives and third-rate detectives are also looking for it.
In the bounty hunter market in Linton, Jack the Ripper is the only mission currently.
Gangs of all sizes also regard finding Jack the Ripper as their most important task.
Even ordinary people know that there will be generous rewards for providing clues about Jack the Ripper.
The whole of Lingtong is like a huge machine, running crazily looking for Jack the Ripper.
But... half a month has passed, and there are still no effective clues.
Before the name Jack the Ripper was coined in "Once Upon a Time in Lingtong".
Inside Grant Yard, he is known as "The Ghost".
Obviously, this title is far less eye-catching than Jack the Ripper.
After the old story in Wingtong began to be reported, the name Jack the Ripper was also used within Grant Yard.
Unfortunately, the change of title does not speed up the progress of the case.
Xia Yanzhen's acting style is completely different from that of the ghostly Jack the Ripper.
If he were really Jack the Ripper, Baron Bart would be laughing his ass off.
His close relationship with Glenfield is maintained by the current Chief Inspector of Grantfield.
But Jack the Ripper could not be caught, and the Chief Inspector could not keep his position.
Hereditary titles cannot play a very good role in facing the huge pressure of "double nobles".
Emotionally, Baron Bart really wanted to think that the mysterious man in front of him was Jack the Ripper.
Intellectually, I really can't.
Moreover, Jack the Ripper was related to the safety of important people, and it was impossible to find anyone to blame him.
Hear "all" about Jack the Ripper.
Xia Yanzhen became even more interested in completing the task through exploration.
"Lingtong... what is the strongest combat power in the entire Inver?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
He had a half-baked plan in mind and needed to know more information.
"The strongest combat power?" Bart didn't know why.
"Do you have anything like steam mechanical armor on your body?" Xia Yanzhen simply changed the question.
"Yes." Bart replied.
"Is it strong? Well... can it block the bullets of that steam gun? The kind that explodes."
"The armor can block blood bomb attacks," Bart said, "but it can't block it all the time."
"I want to see it." Xia Yanzhen thought for a while and said.
You can't figure it out just by listening to the description, you still have to experience it yourself.
"Okay, I have some friendship with Earl Marvin." Bart finally let go of the mention, he probably won't die.
Although the other party is not Jack the Ripper, he is a madman no less than Jack the Ripper.
Jack the Ripper is a silent ghost who steals people's lives silently.
And this one... what Bart was thinking of was not an individual, but disasters such as fires and hurricanes.
