I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 5
[Because you judge a prisoner, you gain part of the prisoner’s skill proficiency]

[Lock picking proficiency increased by 178 points]

[Pickpocket proficiency increased by 98 points]

Looking at the sporadic increase in proficiency in the window below, although these skills are of little use to him at the moment, the increase in proficiency still makes Xu Siling feel comfortable.

At least his suspicion was proven right.

Throat cutting is a form of execution. He had just cut the throats of the first two robbers and did not gain any proficiency.

Xu Siling then guessed that in order to gain skill proficiency, one must characterize the enemy as a prisoner.

Didn't Fei'er say that she was the real lord of Raya Town? Then wouldn't it be easy for her to convict people on her own territory?
Unexpectedly, Fei'er just spoke briefly and actually identified the robber as a prisoner in Raya Town. After picking off his head, his skill proficiency increased dramatically.

Of course he wouldn't feel any guilt for killing these bandits.

These guys who fell into the trap of being bandits had no idea how many lives they had touched on their hands, so they were dead when they died.

However, these three robbers were obviously not from nearby Raya Town. If they were robbers nearby, they would definitely not dare to approach his house.

It's not that he is terrible, it's simply a question of his identity as the executioner.

The country had special conditions in the Middle Ages. Everyone from nobles to thieves were religious.

The executioner is a type of person who is rejected by dogma, so no one likes to take the initiative to get close to the executioner.

Especially in private, everyone will spread rumors. The reason why executioners are opposed by the Holy Religion must be because the souls of such people are filthy and filthy.

Therefore, the identity of the executioner is extremely embarrassing and humble in this era.

The country's urban operations cannot be carried out without the executioner, but everyone despises the executioner.

Even to put it harshly, if medieval professions were divided into classes.

The status of the prostitute is higher than that of the executioner. Even thieves and robbers look down upon the executioner.

Because the profession of prostitute is recognized by the Holy Church, she pays taxes for normal business and is protected by the Holy Church. Although her professional status is low, compared with the executioner, she is indeed much better than the executioner.

Even if Xu Siling is rich, those prostitutes are not willing to do his business, so he knows very well that these three bandits near Raya Town will never dare to come near here.

Of course, there are not exceptions
Xu Siling raised her brown eyes and looked at Feier with her blond hair exposed through the window.

The Faile in front of me was a noble and the real lord of Raya Town. After learning about his identity as the executioner, she didn't care at all?
Only then did Xu Siling realize that something was wrong with Feier's expression, and saw her blue eyes staring at the head in her hand.

It was only in hindsight that I remembered that even though Feier was a noble, she was still just a little girl under 12 years old.
Although children in the Middle Ages were precocious and receptive, they would definitely be frightened if they removed a human head at close range.

Xu Siling coughed dryly, threw the head to the ground, and quickly shook off the blood on the sword.

"Lord Raya, I am rude in front of you."

Feier came back to her senses and propped her chin up at the window with interest: "You don't have to call me lord. I'm not the real lord of Raya Town yet, so you should call me Feier."

"How can this be done? I am just a lowly executioner, how can I call you by your first name?"

"It's up to you." Fei'er didn't seem to want to dwell on this topic too much, "Your swordsmanship skills are very strong. It seems to be better than my guard captain."

"I'm kidding, how can my swordsmanship compare to your guard captain?"

Fei'er narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Siling with a strange expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing the silence between each other, Xu Siling coughed slightly in embarrassment, and then asked for instructions: "Lord Raya, my house is not safe. How about I escort you back to Raya Town before it is completely dark?"

"Aren't you here, Mr. Executioner~" Feier smiled slyly, "I believe that with you here, even if seven or eight more people come, it won't be a problem for you, right?"

Xu Siling couldn't help but remain silent. How could Fei'er be so difficult to deal with at such a young age?

And do you really think of yourself as the God of War?This is not Wushuang, this is the Middle Ages. If he is still like now, wearing a leather jacket and a one-handed sword, facing the siege of two or three knights covered in plate armor and armed to the teeth, he will have no choice but to run away.

"Nothing. Your life is precious, how can you entrust it to someone like me." "Who are you?"

Seeing Fei'er pretending not to know, Xu Siling didn't know how to answer.

"I think you're a pretty good person. Are you interested in changing your career, such as joining my escort team as a soldier?"

"Lord Raya. The Holy Cult said that executioners cannot change their profession."

"Oh." Speaking of the Holy Religion, Fei'er obviously had a weird expression: "Forget it."

"I'll put this away. You can rest in the house first."

Xu Siling quickly dragged the robber's body to the back of the house, and then began to bring water to wash the ground.

If he had a choice, he wanted to dig a hole outside and bury the body now, but the night in the Middle Ages was very dark, and it would be too troublesome to dig a hole at this time.

After rinsing, the house still had a faint smell of blood, which would probably be difficult to eliminate in a few days.

After cleaning up, Xu Siling returned to the house.

Feier sat on the bed, holding a book and reading through it.

Seeing Xu Siling come in, she raised her beautiful eyes with a look of laziness. It had to be said that with this attitude, she would probably charm many men to death when she grew up.

It's a pity that Fei'er is just a child in Xu Siling's eyes.

"Lord Raya." With a slight bow, Xu Siling found a place to sit down, and then looked at Fei'er, who was hesitant to speak.

"Mr. Executioner, just tell me what you have to say. I have a good impression of you. If you have any request, I can satisfy you for your actions in protecting me."

"It's not a request. I just want to mention to you that I will escort you back to Raya Town."

"Why, am I making you feel uncomfortable here?" Feier raised her eyebrows.

Nonsense, of course it’s uncomfortable.

"It's nothing." Xu Siling laughed, "It's just that my place is really remote, especially if others know that you are here, I'm afraid it will cause some bad misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding. What misunderstanding?" Fei'er looked like she was asking questions knowingly.

Seeing this, Xu Siling had no choice but to sigh and give up, letting her go.

She doesn't care that she is a noble and technically her employer. What do I care about?

It's just a request. This made Xu Siling think of something.

"But as Lord Raya mentioned before, I really have a small need. I wonder if you can help me."

"Tell me." Mayfair closed the book.

"It's about the recent news from the south of the kingdom. Is there anything special?" Xu Siling tried to find out.

Xu Siling could not remember how the Black Death spread into the Kingdom of France.

But he knew that the Black Death was first introduced from the south of the Kingdom of France.

It is a pity that the message transmission in this era was not very developed. Basically, the main message circulation relied on caravans and nobles.

Now that Feier is in front of him, he wants to find out whether the Black Death has spread into the kingdom.

"Something special?"

Mayfair's blue eyes raised and she began to remember.
