I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 100

Originally, the banquet had been in a harmonious atmosphere.

The nobles already knew that Mayfair's purpose of holding this banquet was to promote MSG, but this did not prevent everyone from being curious and fond of MSG.

Most of the food in medieval Europe was based on wheat bread. Dishes such as meat also had a strong fishy smell due to the lack of spices. Some seafood was used to stew soup, which added a fresh and sweet flavor and improved the aristocracy. their taste.

Now that we know that there is such a can of MSG, it can greatly improve the taste of food in the past. How can the nobles who are used to enjoying it not like it.

As the host of the venue, Hamis's light words immediately brought the atmosphere of the entire banquet to the bottom.

Nobles, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't say anything.

The banquet hall became quiet, and the smile on Mayfair's face disappeared, replaced by indifference, and her blue eyes looked at Hamis.

If it were normal, everyone could regard Khamis's words as a joke.

Just kidding about witches, it's not a big deal.

But the witch hunting operation in Tamubao was so vigorous during this period that everyone was even invited to Tamubao to participate in the witch trial.

All the nobles in the banquet hall could make this joke, except Hamis.

With these words, Hamis wanted to set up Mayfair as a witch.

Xu Siling was sitting in his seat, and he could see from Hamis's eyes that he hated the witches very much, and it didn't look like it was fake.

"Hamis, what do you mean?"

Mayfair was more direct and didn't even bother to add the honorific, or it could be said that she had always been dissatisfied with Khamis.

"Miss Raya, what I mean is very simple." Hamis had deep wrinkles on his face. As long as he didn't smile, he always looked very resentful. He tapped his fork on the plate filled with sweet and delicious food. : "Tamubao is not far from Raya Town. Over the years, I can't say how well I know Raya Town, but I can't say it's any worse than you. I've never heard of it. What specialties are there in Raya Town that can change the taste of food?"

"That's why I said, Hamis, you cover your eyes and ears and only hide in Tamubao and don't care about the world. How can you understand the changes in Raya Town? Not to mention what happened in Tamubao itself, you may not be aware of it. get."

"There's no need for you to distract me. I'm sure that this so-called MSG is definitely not a product of Raya Town. Strange bottles and jars like this, coupled with the characteristics that can directly change the smell of food, apart from witches , who else can do it?”

The more Fei'er listened, the more she felt that Hamis was an idiot. First of all, she was an atheist. She didn't believe in God, so naturally she didn't believe in witches. Now an old guy kept telling her things that she didn't know existed. , and then had to force the witch thing to be related to her.

The anger in his heart can be imagined.

"Hamis, don't think that everyone is as stupid and ignorant as you and thinks that everything that happens in this world is related to witches."

"I didn't say everything. But most of them, I think, are related to witches."

"The Holy Religion has already said that there are no witches in this world. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame me for writing to the people of the Holy See."

"Oh." Hamis crossed his hands and leaned on the chair, silently looking at the petite Fei'er: "You seem to be very excited, Miss Raya."

Xu Siling frowned. The guidance of the topic had always been in the hands of Hamis. Even Fei'er couldn't even anger Hamis, but was led away.

It's not that Mayfair's eloquence is not good, it's just ignorance that is courage.

Hamis is adamant that there are witches, so if anyone tells him that there are no witches, he will not believe it, and naturally he will not be angered.

This put Fei'er at a disadvantage, looking like she was furious after being guessed correctly.

Just when Fei'er was about to reply, Xu Siling spoke.

"Master Khamis is right, MSG is indeed not the original product of Raya Town."

Logically speaking, Xu Siling shouldn't interrupt. There were many people with higher status than him in this banquet hall, but he didn't care.

You can't just watch Fei'er being bullied and sit still like an old dog.

"Isn't this the noble and sacred executioner knight of Raya Town?" Hamis didn't look at Xu Siling. "You should be lucky. On such an occasion, look at the nobles around you. You are able to attend and sit in the same place with everyone." The position is thanks to your nobility, otherwise you wouldn’t even be worthy of a chair here.”

"That's why it is said that good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose their masters to live in." Xu Siling said with an expression of hindsight, and deliberately explained: "The meaning of this sentence is that good birds choose trees. Habitat, a wise person should choose a monarch to serve. I am very glad that I chose Miss Raya and not you, Lord Hamis."

This statement expresses both inside and outside that Mayfair is a hundred times better than you, Hamis, and she chooses to serve you because she is short-sighted.

In particular, Xu Siling also deliberately added the following text to highlight that he is a knowledgeable person.

Although the status of educated people in medieval Europe was not as good as that of China, it was already pretty good.

When some nobles heard that Xu Siling was quite knowledgeable, they couldn't help but feel a little better, but only a little bit.

The resistance of the nobles to the executioner is not as great as that of the ordinary people, but it is not much less.

The fact that Xu Siling was an executioner was more or less known to all the nobles present, and it was even a source of laughter among them in private life.

The nobles of Raya Town canonized an executioner as a knight, which is indeed interesting to discuss.

"I don't want to argue with you."

Fei'er was sitting in her seat. In fact, she didn't want Xu Siling to stand out. On such an occasion, with so many nobles present, if she said the wrong thing, everyone's impression of Xu Siling would change greatly, even irreversibly.

"Since you say that the jar of MSG in my hand is not a product of Raya Town, do you mean to admit that MSG was created by a witch?"

"Mr. Hamis is really clever in wearing a high hat. I have never said that MSG was invented by witches, and I have never admitted that witches have anything to do with Raya Town." Xu Siling coughed lightly, "In fact, MSG I am the inventor of MSG. I have lived in Raya Town since I was a child. Miss Raya said that MSG is a product of Raya Town, which is not an exaggeration."

"Did you invent MSG?" Hamis was surprised.

Even other nobles couldn't help but talk about it, but Fei'er sighed helplessly.

The two of them discussed in private that they should not reveal that Xu Siling invented MSG. After the MSG was sold, the inventor must be the most eye-catching. Mayfair did not want her knight and lover to be stared at by other nobles all day long.

Especially a knight who can make money.

Not to mention, Xu Siling took the initiative to stand up and would find opportunities for Hamis.

But at the moment, Xu Siling felt that it was better to admit it, otherwise Fei'er would say it was a flower and Hamis would label MSG as a 'product of witches'.

"Can you prove it?"

“I don’t need to prove that every word of my words is true, and I will not show a trace of shame when I meet God.”

Xu Siling was very sincere, which made Feier feel funny in her heart, but it frightened everyone.

Seeing that he could no longer work on MSG, Hamis couldn't help but shift the conflict.

"Knight Executioner, I heard from my soldiers that you killed many of my people in Tamubao." Faile sighed in her heart, and sure enough.

If Xu Siling didn't come forward, this matter would be something that she and Hamis would not take the initiative to mention.

Because it is very simple. Khamis’s men went to Raya Town to arrest people, and Khamis could say that he had no knowledge.

In the same way, Fei'er can also say that she doesn't know the identity of those guys who come to the territory of Raya Town to arrest people without authorization, she only knows that they are arresting people without authorization.

Both of them knew that there would be no results if they took the initiative to mention this matter.

But if Xu Siling took the initiative to stand up, it would be simple.

Khamis is asking you now whether you killed the people of Tamubao. How should Xu Siling answer?

Fei'er was a little anxious in her heart. She hoped that Xu Siling would turn the conversation to herself and say that she didn't know everything and was just following orders and doing what she wanted.

But Xu Siling didn't do that.

"We did kill a lot."

Xu Siling admitted frankly and looked at Khamis with brown eyes. He stood up from his position and held the hilt of his two-handed sword with one hand. He looked very majestic.

"It's a pity that we didn't kill them all, and let a few people escape."

These words finally moved Hamis's face, and his face became angry, changing from the dull and colorless look before.

How can anyone say in front of other nobles that I am just killing your people and still feel that they are not satisfied enough by killing them?

What's the difference between this and graveyard dancing?

Fei'er suppressed her composure. She didn't know why Xu Siling said that, her mind was spinning wildly, and she wanted to help make up for it.

Hamis slapped the table fiercely, got up from the chair, pointed his finger at Xu Siling, and cursed angrily.

"Insanity!"

"Master Hamis, you said that I am arrogant, which is wrong. It is not that I am arrogant, but it is because you lost the capital of arrogance that you are so angry." Xu Siling replied firmly with eyes, "The person you arranged is in Raya Town. It’s really funny to go around arresting lonely women and label them witches at will.”

"Miss Raya is gentle and kind. After learning about this incident, she subconsciously thought that there was some misunderstanding between us. I once came to you with two letters, one was a handwritten letter from Miss Raya, and the other was from Raya Town. Godfather Endrit’s personal letter, but you haven’t seen me, and you haven’t even replied to me yet.”

"I don't know what you are considering, Mr. Hamis, but at least when facing this kind of problem, more communication is the way to solve the problem. I believe other nobles will agree with me. Instead of just being like an ostrich , burying his head in the ground, dreaming of non-existent dreams.”

"You haven't replied for a long time. The people you arranged have been infringing on the rights and interests of Miss Raya's people. Protecting the people of Raya is what Miss Raya needs to consider, and it is also what I should do."

"That's why I said, I only regret that I didn't kill them all and let a few escape."

After finishing speaking, Hamis's expression turned a bit pig liver.

Of course, Xu Siling's words were embellished. For example, the letter written by Mayfair to Khamis was not so gentle, but full of accusations and scoldings.

But it is impossible for Khamis to speak out about this kind of thing, otherwise wouldn't he have tacitly proved that he tacitly allowed his men to go to Raya Town to arrest women?

"I have to admit, Executioner Knight, you are very clever with your words and almost led me into the pit."

Hamis thought of something and adjusted his mood.

"But this still doesn't change the fact that Raya Town is related to witches!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Siling and Fei'er looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

First of all, there are no witches in this world. If there were witches, then what Hamis said would be true and correct.

"Hamis, I don't know what you are talking about."

Mayfair spoke now, condemning.

"I want you to think clearly before you speak. You keep pouring dirty water on Raya Town. Do you think I am young and easy to bully!"

"Don't know?" Hamis snorted coldly and decided to show off his cards: "This time I invited the nobles I know well to come to Tamu Castle to participate in the witch trial. I just want to tell everyone that the Black Death was caused by witches!"

After all, it should come.

Xu Siling knew that Hamis hated witches, probably because of this view, but he did not dare to draw any conclusions without his own approval.

Feier thought this sentence was ridiculous, and it was indeed funny, so she just spread her hands and said nothing.

When the nobles heard Hamis saying that the Black Death was brought by witches, their expressions became solemn.

The Black Death was a pain among the nobles. Many of their family members had already died, including the nobles themselves. Most of the nobles who could not come to the banquet were lying in bed waiting to die.

Xu Siling also believed that with so many nobles in the banquet hall, there must be nobles who were already infected. Something might happen to others, but he and Fei'er were not afraid.

On the one hand, there is the decoction, and on the other hand, Feier has already been infected with the Black Death once. After recovering, she will produce antibodies, and the chance of being infected again is very low.

How did the Black Death occur? The nobles had different ideas, but there was no clear answer.

Only some nobles asked some doctors with "high professional abilities". After seeing the stars and the moon, these doctors relied on "Temperament Theory" to give answers similar to those of Dr. Polk.

That is the occurrence of the Black Death, which has nothing to do with God or witches, but is caused by miasma.

At first, the nobles were very convinced of this theory, but doctors came up with endless treatment methods, but none of them worked. This theory was gradually questioned by the nobles.

Now that Hamis boldly says that the Black Death is related to witches, he will be more or less convinced.

For a nobleman to dare to speak so frankly and bluntly is completely contrary to the teachings of the Holy Religion, just like 'How can I, a girl, use my innocence to frame someone?', it is the same reason.

Seeing that neither Feier nor Xu Siling spoke, Hamis thought that he was right.

"The arrival of the Black Death is very strange, as if it appeared suddenly. No matter whether we block the castle or close the door, the Black Death always penetrates everywhere and harms me and my family."

"Just imagine, who can do such a thing easily?"

"Who else could it be but a witch?"

“Could this be Jesus’ punishment?”
