Chapter 399 Closing the Case

In the following time, Henry and Feder used several inhumane tortures on the leatherworker Reggie Heizman. These include nail pulling, cramp, bone breaking, eyelid peeling, etc. Even Viconia, who is proficient in the art of dark elf torture, couldn't help clapping her hands. Korgan also stood aside and watched with relish after sweeping away all valuables. , its evil tendencies are fully exposed.

The whole process lasted for more than an hour. In order to prevent death from excessive blood loss, several treatments were performed in the middle. Finally, when the leather worker was brought to the patrol station in the bridge area, he could no longer see the human form at all. His upper and lower lips, nose, eyelids, ears, and tongue were all cut off. The bloody red and white muscles on his body were exposed, and the epidermis had been peeled off long ago.

Captain Iggiesfield asked loudly with a trembling voice: "Can any of you explain to me, what's going on with this tmd?!"

He had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen someone being tortured like this before dying. Obviously the executioner is not only brutal, but also quite knowledgeable about human body structure. You must know that none of the torture masters who can do this is a good thing, and there must be at least hundreds of lives in their hands. Henry smiled and spread his hands and explained: "Oh, dear Mr. Captain, this guy is the murderer and skinner, Reggie Heizman. As long as you send someone to search the second basement of the leather shop, you can see it Plenty of evidence. As to why it became what it is, it's a long story. But the main reason is that we want him to feel the pain of the dead, that's all."

"That's right! I think it's best to tie up the damned tanner on the pier, let the flies lay their eggs in the bloody muscles, and then eat him alive after the maggots hatch." Korgan's suggestion was quite vicious, and it was also It was a bit disgusting, and a few guards couldn't stand it and vomited directly on the wall.

Captain Iggiesfield took two deep breaths. Forced himself to calm down, followed by shouting at the vomiting soldier: "Don't throw up! Go search the leather store for me immediately! If you find anything, remember to seal the scene!"

"Ming...Understood! Sir." The soldier replied hastily, wiping the vomit off his mouth.

Soon, a team of ten set out from the station. Go in the direction of the leather store. After watching his men leave, Captain Iggiesfield turned around and said to everyone: "I hope what you said is true. Otherwise, torturing a person like this for no reason will definitely attract the attention of the Knights." "Don't Worry, I can swear, it is absolutely true. In addition, when you see the dismembered corpses on the second floor, you may have the idea of ​​doing it yourself. Rejik Heizman peeled the skin off the living people , I want to make an evil armor. This has surpassed ordinary crimes, and it is the behavior of demons. Although our revenge methods are a bit extreme, they have definitely not crossed the bottom line of neutrality."

Henry’s words were not nonsense. There's nothing evil about torturing the most wicked of men on the great roads of Faerûn. Can only be classified as chaotic neutral at best. The tanner's flaying of human skins to death is definitely considered extremely evil, so any torture against him would not be considered excessive.

"Using human skin to make armor?!! Damn it! Is this guy out of his mind?" As he spoke, Iggiesfield's face became a little ugly, and at the same time he kicked the leathersmith on the ground fiercely. He has been in charge of public security in the bridge area for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a mad criminal.

Henry shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Maybe! How could a normal person follow a note written by a demon."

"Demons?! Do you mean that Rejik Heizman is a believer in demons? Or that he has a book of demons full of filth and evil?" Iggiesfield asked loudly in surprise. I don't know if it was because of fear or anger, but his voice trembled a little.

"I don't know if I'm a believer or not, but the Book of Demons is indeed true. This is my trophy, so you can take a look, but there is absolutely no way to take it away." Henry took out the notebook and shook it. He is simply bringing the other party into the pit again. As long as the case is determined to be dead by the devil, no one will suspect that the Zhentarim will come. The cooperation behind the scenes will also be invisible.

As an experienced magistrate, Iggiesfield yelled as soon as he touched the cover of the notebook: "Damn! Damn! Damn! This thing is made of human skin! Move away, I I don’t want my soul to be corrupted by evil.”

"As you wish. But you are wrong about one thing. These skins belong to humanoid creatures, not necessarily human beings, they may also be elves, dwarves, or halflings. According to my identification, the history of this notebook It’s been quite a long time, and at that time human beings were still living in caves and couldn’t create any decent civilization at all, so the most likely thing is elf skin.”

While showing off his knowledge, Henry turned to a page that described how to make a human-skinned armor. "Look, this is the production process. First collect enough human skin. Then tan and sew it into a half-body armor, and finally combine it with silver dragon's blood, mithril silk, and a small amount of black diamond powder. I bet. This kind of Armors should only be worn by the most evil of men."

"My gods, I really can't believe that someone would do such a horrible thing." After speaking, Iggiesfield sighed deeply. He stood by without saying a word, waiting for his subordinates to come back and report.

Time passed by, and when Korgan was waiting impatiently, a soldier hurried in and shouted: "Sir! We found a large number of victims' bodies on the second floor of the leather shop. A few human skins hanging on a rack. You'd better take a look, it's like a slaughterhouse."

Iggiesfield glared at the cobbler and said viciously: "I know. Send someone to report to the council building immediately. Also, watch out for this vicious criminal. Don't die. I want to cut him down with my own hands." head."

"Don't worry, I'll give this demon a bath in a while. Of course, the salt water must be used." As he spoke, the soldier grabbed Reggie Heizmann, who was drenched in blood, and led him towards the cell.

After watching the two leave, Iggiesfield turned his head and smiled at everyone, and took out a large bag full of gold coins from the cabinet. "Here is two thousand gold coins, the bounty I promised. I have to say that although the attack is a bit ruthless, it is really good. I believe that after this devil is gone, the law and order in the bridge area will improve soon, and the poor will no longer have to Terrified."

"You're welcome, I'm glad to be of help. If there is nothing else, let's take our leave first. After all, you seem to have a lot of things to do." After finishing speaking, Henry grabbed the whole bag of gold coins and threw it directly to Korgan. He just wanted to find a safe place to digest his adventures as soon as possible. Whether it was the scroll of Netheril, the Book of Kasa, or the notes of Lord Obiris, it would take time to decipher slowly.

"Yes, there are still many things to be busy. The most important thing is to convict the crazy Mr. Tanner. Seeing him take a breath of air makes me feel uncomfortable. Finally, I wish you all the best, if you encounter any trouble You can come to me anytime." Saying that, Iggiesfield gave Henry a warm hug, and then sent everyone out of the station.

Walking on the busy street, Korgan took out a short black bow without a string from his pocket and handed it to Henry. "I found this at a leather dealer. It looks pretty good workmanship. It should be a magic item."

"Oh? Bring it to me to see." Henry took it with some curiosity and carefully identified it, and then was taken aback by the information he got.

Part of Gerson's Shortbow

This is part of the Gerson Shortbow, a powerful shortbow made by Gerson Khan and used by its maker before it was stolen by the Shadow Thief. According to legend, this bow shoots lightning instead of arrows, and the shadow thieves have been looking for it in the past, wanting to use it for assassination; the Masked Mages want to find it for research.

If the dwarf hadn't searched thoroughly enough, he might have missed this powerful magic item. You must know that the power of Gerson's short bow is that it does not need arrows at all. Every time you pull the string, it will directly absorb energy from the elements and form a bolt of lightning. For most creatures, electric current means paralysis, unable to control the body as one likes, and its power in battle is self-evident. However, the bow string is still missing, so I can only find it in the maze of the Arcatraz.

After putting the bow arm into the dimension bag, Henry patted the dwarf on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, this is a part of a magic short bow, as long as you find the string, you can repair it."

"It's nothing, since you like it, I will pay more attention next time. In addition, our harvest this day is really good, a reward of 2,000 gold coins, a payment of 12,000 gold coins, and more than 100 gold coins were found in the leather craftsman's house." A gold coin and a few precious stones, and if things go on like this, you can lie on the gold coins and sleep in less than a week."

After finishing speaking, Korgan patted the money bag in his arms and laughed loudly. He felt that the current team was simply great, not only able to slash people happily, but also earned countless gold coins. In the eyes of the dwarves, this ideal adventure partner, although one of the dark elves is a bit annoying, but it is not a big problem for the sake of money.

Viconia quietly approached Henry while others were not paying attention and asked in a low voice: "You seem to know this city very well? Otherwise, how could every action be so targeted? You must know places like the stronghold of the Magic Talisman Club , it is theoretically impossible to be discovered.”

Henry smiled mysteriously, followed by a nod. "That's right, I know more about Askatla than the Council of Six, the Shadow Thief, and the Masked Mage. Don't ask too many questions, and be prepared, there will be a very dangerous operation in a few days , this time the enemy is a demilich, I think you should understand what this means."
