I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 1 The head-stealer is here! [Please pay attention to the new book]

Medieval 1347.

France, border of the Duchy of Berry.

Freedom is cheap, leaves fly higher than crows.

Xu Siling's brown eyes followed the flying leaves. The leaves danced for a while, and finally landed on the neck of the man who was kneeling on the execution platform with his head bowed in prayer.

Wearing a black robe, he has a strong figure. The wide and enveloping design of the robe makes Xu Siling look more serious. The collar of the robe is turned up high, partially covering his chin and face. A formidable smell.

Xu Siling wielded a big axe, bent down and slapped the leaves off the man's neck.

This move made the man tremble violently.

The execution platform built on the top of a small slope was surrounded by many civilians, chattering and waiting for the man's head to fall to the ground.

Watching executions is one of the few forms of entertainment for civilians.

However, they prefer to see more tortured executions, such as eye-gouging and tongue-cutting, and beheading is the 'happy' among many executions.

After all, it only hurts for the prisoner.

Xu Siling is quite experienced in how to remove a person's head at once.

After all, as an executioner, he beheaded the prisoner three times without killing him. According to the law, he had committed a crime.

After the man finished praying, his trembling pupils looked at Xu Siling, as if he was ready.

Xu Siling's eyes were indifferent and emotionless. He had seen this kind of look too many times.

"Put your head on the board and don't move. I'm very fast. Please bear with me."

The man's Adam's apple moved and he swallowed, then bent down.

After the head was slowly placed on the board, the civilians began to heckle.

Xu Siling narrowed her eyes slightly and began to search for a suitable position on the man's exposed neck.

Then he raised the ax with both hands as a tool for beheading. It had a heart-stopping deterrent effect, and the booing civilians immediately fell silent.

The big ax has a thick and heavy wooden handle, which is long enough for the axeholder to hold with both hands. The appearance of the wooden handle shows traces of time. The head of the ax is a thick iron blade, which is sharp and triangular in shape. The edge is smooth and sharp, shining with cold light, and it can easily cut through anything.

The man who was about to be executed closed his eyes tightly and his body trembled.

Xu Siling steadied her breathing, and the blade whizzed downwards.

With a loud noise, the crow flew away, and the ax struck the man's neck accurately.

For a moment, blood spurted out, forming a bright red arc, and then with a muffled sound, the head detached from the body.

The criminal's head rolled on the stage, blood sprayed like a fountain, and there was a smell of iron. After a moment, the head rolled and fell hard to the ground, and blood continued to gush out from the broken part of the neck, forming a pool of blood.

The civilians cheered again. Except for a few who turned pale and felt uncomfortable, most of them looked excited.

Unlike the cheers from the audience, Xu Siling, who was on stage after the execution, just stood quietly with a big ax in his hand, looking into the distance as if in a daze.

[Because you judge a prisoner, you gain part of the prisoner’s skill proficiency]

[Sword fighting proficiency increased by 218 points]

[Riding proficiency increased by 473 points]

[Bow and arrow proficiency increased by 124 points]

Xu Siling looked at the looming window in front of him and sighed inwardly. It was indeed a knight's head, and it felt comfortable to cut off.

Among the many executions he had tried, beheading gave him the highest proficiency ratio.

The prisoners who can be beheaded are basically not ordinary people, most of them are nobles or knights, so Xu Siling looks forward to every opportunity to behead someone.

The civilians who had finished their hesitation and entertainment began to gradually disperse back to the town.

Not long after, the top of the hill suddenly became deserted, and Xu Siling also began to pack up.

After the execution, the things on the prisoner's body belonged to the executioner by default. In the Middle Ages, everything was valuable, even the clothes of the dead. They could be stripped off and sold to millers.Having lived here for 20 years, Xu Siling has long been accustomed to the identity and work of an executioner.

In his words, as long as you can accept the blood and gore, the work is still very good.

Executioners are exempted from taxes, and can receive food and lord's personal allowance from the town every month. Plus various gray incomes, their living conditions are very good.

But well.
Xu Siling picked up the body and threw it into the hole dug in advance. He looked up at the town on the other side of the hillside. There were people dancing happily inside, and the bustling smoke and smoke made him feel lonely on the hillside.

As an executioner, he is considered dirty in religious terms, and the law prohibits him from appearing on many occasions, which is equivalent to depriving him of most of his civil rights.

For example, they cannot engage in other industries, cannot receive education, cannot live in cities, etc.

The reason why civilians hate and fear executioners is obvious. Executioners have always been regarded as cold-blooded killers. They have been dealing with corpses for a long time, and they all feel that contact with executioners is a stain on their souls.

Xu Siling took a shovel and buried the hole, packed up her things and walked towards the wooden house next door.

His home was near the execution platform.

As a reborn person, Xu Siling certainly does not believe in religion. He believes in the God of Wealth more than God, so he does not care at all whether he can go to a church to be taught.

The executioner's job pays well, and there are systematic rewards for the execution, which is great.

Not to mention that you can own your own home on a beautiful hillside at a young age. Isn’t that enough?

This is the Middle Ages!What kind of bike do you want?

Especially for what may happen next, living alone in the wild is the best choice.

But today is the day to receive food and allowances. After Xu Siling has finished packing, he has to go into town and bring back the things he ordered.

Putting on a hood and cloak, Xu Siling headed to the town.

Under the main entrance of Raya Town, two guards were fully armed and checked the passers-by. They also wore the colors representing the lords of Raya Town outside their chainmail armor.

Seeing Xu Siling entering the city with half of her face exposed, neither of them dared to stop and ask questions before letting her go.

Xu Siling put on the hood and cloak not to hide her identity, but it had been raining constantly in the past few days and the town was muddy.

The executioners are all registered, so there is no use hiding their faces, not to mention that he has lived here for 20 years and everyone in Raya Town knows him.

When people in the town saw him, they subconsciously avoided and gave way.

We took the familiar route to the door of the law enforcement officer's office. There were also guards on duty at the door.

The guard called Henry, but when he saw Xu Siling, he raised his lips and greeted him.

"Xu, here we come."

"As usual, I won't go in. Please help me talk to the law enforcement officer."

"We have to wait a moment. The lord is discussing official business with the law enforcement officer."

In the entire Raya Town, there were only two people who were barely acquainted with Xu Siling. One was Henry at the door of the law enforcement officer, and the other was the miller who resold stolen goods.

Xu Siling was not very familiar with the lords of Raya Town, even though he had received a 20-year allowance from others.

Just as he was about to wait against the wall, the bored Henry took the initiative to find a topic.

"There's good news, Xu, do you want to know?"

"Why, will another prisoner be beheaded tomorrow?"

Henry was speechless: "Can you stop thinking about beheading people?"

"For me, happiness is someone being beheaded every day." Seeing Henry hesitate to speak as if he didn't know how to answer, Xu Siling sighed helplessly: "Tell me, what good news."

"Hey, a family of executioners moved into Tamubao next door a few days ago. What's the good news? I heard that they have a daughter."

Xu Siling was stunned.

Damn it, here comes the head snatcher!
