I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 75 Mayfair’s surprise

Xu Siling pointed at a prisoner at random and motioned to the guards to bring him up.

After the prisoner was brought in, the guard was a little curious.

"Xu, do you still want to chop their heads off?"

Xu Siling responded and signaled the prisoner to put his head away.

Although the guard was happy to see the beheading scene, he couldn't help but remind him.

"They are all soldiers who have committed capital crimes. Beheading them is not too friendly to them."

In the Middle Ages, not every prisoner deserved to be beheaded.

Those who can be beheaded are basically knights and nobles or above, or those who have received permission from the nobles.

Beheading is considered by the people to be a way to preserve the soul, without even feeling pain or torture.

That's why Jonas was grateful to Xu Siling in the past. He knew that Xu Siling couldn't save him, but when he saw that he was beheaded, he thought that Xu Siling was thinking about the relationship between the two.

However, the fact is not true. Xu Siling and Jonas have no relationship at all. He just wants to behead his head to gain skill proficiency.

Skill proficiency can also be gained by torturing prisoners through other punishments, but the degree of gain is completely different. Beheading is the most practical.

The guards also thought that Xu Siling was thinking about his old relationship, so it was understandable to chop off Jonas's head. After all, Miss Raya had also given instructions to let Xu Siling deal with these prisoners at will.

But if all the prisoners were beheaded, the guards would be a little worried about the impact.

These prisoners were all sinners who disobeyed Miss Raya's orders and attempted to rebel. Wouldn't it be bad to cut off their heads so easily and end the crime hastily?
Shouldn't they be tortured to death?

Xu Siling knew what the guard meant.

"They did commit unforgivable sins, but they also contributed to the defense of Raya Town. Many of them did not really want to disobey Miss Raya, but just the orders of Johns and Abner. , so that they have to obey the order. Of course, they have to pay the price of death for what they have done, but since they were once a part of Raya Town, let them die easier. "

This reason is a bit far-fetched. After all, some of the more than 30 prisoners are not originally from Raya Town at all, but the guards are too lazy to care.

Anyway, Xu Siling said this, so when someone in Raya Town asks, he will have an explanation.

The guards all knew that after they returned, some people would be curious about how these prisoners were executed.

When the prisoners heard Xu Siling's words, they all showed expressions of gratitude. Even the prisoners who knelt on the execution platform quietly shed tears.

"Thank you, Xu."

Xu Siling's expression remained unchanged and she motioned for him to stop moving his head.

He raised the execution ax again, raised the ax and dropped it, and the head fell to the ground with a sound.

The guards also skillfully kicked the body under the execution platform again.

What followed was a very procedural formality. The prisoners didn't even need to be named. They all took the initiative to line up, kneel down, and lower their heads.

The guards started to look bored after watching the beheadings a few times. They also expected to see some torture and brag about it with others when they went back, but they didn't expect it to be boring now.

The prisoners died gratefully one by one.

Xu Siling also happily harvested the heads of every prisoner.

[Sword fighting proficiency increased by 178 points]

[Riding proficiency increased by 86 points]

[Lance proficiency increased by 377 points]

[Pole weapon proficiency increased by 163 points]

[Stealth proficiency increased by 53 points]

Until all the prisoners were chopped off, the table was soaked in blood and the blood slowly fell to the ground.

Headless corpses were piled up under the stage.

The guards looked at so many headless corpses and felt a little uncomfortable with each other, while Xu Siling's expression was indifferent and showed no emotion.

But he was holding the big blood-stained ax and looking into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.

There are a lot of rewards, but there are still a lot of advanced skills that you can't see. You need to scroll down a little to see them clearly.

Anyway, the sword fight is about to reach the next stage.

Xu Siling is very interested in what the next stage of skills will be.

It's a pity that the proficiency in sword fighting is still a little low, not enough to reach [-].

As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the necks of several guards.

The guards were preparing to clean up when they all felt a chill in their necks for no reason.
Farina said she was not looking, but she was actually watching from a distance at home. When she saw that all the prisoners had been chopped off, she quickly walked towards the execution platform with two shovels in her arms.

Several guards saw Falina walking out of Xu Siling's yard wearing a white scarf. She covered most of her face and her hair was wrapped in a white scarf. Some of them couldn't tell her age, but most of them had their own guesses.

Naturally, I wouldn't ask too much about such a personal matter.

Falina looked fine from a distance, but when she saw so many headless corpses and blood-stained heads under the table up close, her head suddenly felt dizzy.

The guards wisely took the shovel from Falina.

Logically speaking, there is no need for them to help clean up the mess. The executioner has always dealt with this kind of mess himself.

Knowing the importance of Xu Siling in front of Miss Laya, it was obvious to several people that they should help.

The other two guards began to look for water sources, preparing to use water to rinse the execution platform.Seeing what the guards were doing, Xu Siling couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Because Abner was declared a suicide, all of his properties in Raya were confiscated, as were those owned by the convicts of these crimes.

When this matter reaches the king, John's territory and title will also be confiscated. This end is really pitiful for outsiders to see.

"We can do these things."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"By the way Xu, Miss Raya wants me to tell you one more thing. Daily production will resume in Raya Town tomorrow, and there is also a big event to be announced. Miss Raya wants you to dress better tomorrow and arrive at Raya Town early. Report.”

Xu Siling was confused and didn't know what Fei'er was thinking, but she still agreed.

He dragged Farina, who was still dizzy, back to the yard.

The guards didn't complain. They picked a good place, dug a big hole, and buried all the bodies in it.

After cleaning up all the mess, the guard returned to Raya Town to resume his duties.

Fei'er had woken up in the study room and had a frank and in-depth exchange with Xu Siling.

She no longer had any barriers to Xu Siling in her heart, and now she faced her inner feelings openly. For a while, she kept thinking about Xu Siling.

The guard entered the study room, and Fei'er asked curiously.

"How did Xu deal with those prisoners?"

"The prisoners are all dead."

Fei'er rolled her eyes inwardly. They must all die. From what she knew, Xu Siling was a pervert who liked prisoners.

After all, in a job like an executioner, it's normal to have some special quirks.

"How did you die?"

"All" the guard hesitated, "all were beheaded to death."

"Beheading?"

"Yes, all the prisoners' heads were chopped off."

This makes Fei'er somewhat unexpected.

She always thought that Xu Siling liked to torture prisoners, but she didn't expect that he actually liked to behead people!

No wonder he insisted on convicting the robber and killing him when they first met.

did not expect.

"Henry told us that Xu always liked to chop off prisoners' heads and often thought about it."

"I understand."

Fei'er's expression remained unchanged and she asked the guard to leave.

I always thought Xu Siling was a sadist, but I didn't expect that he was a beheading maniac.

Of course, there is no difference. He likes to chop off prisoners' heads. I will chop off the heads of prisoners every time I get the chance, as long as he is happy.

Fei'er couldn't help but smile when she thought of something.

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the study room again, and a servant came in.

The servant held a burqa respectfully.

"Miss Raya, this is a burqa made by someone. Take a look."

The burqa was opened, and the coat of arms of the Raya family was embroidered on it. It was clean and beautiful. Faile could not help but nod after seeing it.

"I asked you to find a clean and relatively new set of armor equipment from John's property. Did you find it?"

"Go back to Miss Raya. We have found it. The arranger is cleaning the package. It will be ready tomorrow."

"I wonder what else I've missed. By the way, the groom, the cook, and a servant should be chosen before tomorrow morning. As for the horses, let him choose them by himself tomorrow. Anyway, there are so many horses confiscated. There will be something he likes.”

Others may not understand, but this servant already understands what his master is going to do.

Fei'er wants to canonize Xu Siling as her knight.

If you put this kind of thing outside, you wouldn't even dare to think about it.

There is no reason for the executioner's manual to confer knighthood.

It's already great that the executioner can become a follower of a noble. Now he can become a knight, which is simply shocking to everyone.

But Mayfair is the master, and he can do whatever the master arranges.

It's just that the servant's inner concept of the executioner gradually began to change.

You must know that Enri, Mayfair's bodyguard, has not been canonized as a female knight until now.

Although there are few female knights, they are not absent.

But this was the first time I saw the executioner being knighted.

After all, Mayfair didn't have much knowledge about the arrangement of canonizing knights, so she quickly called another servant in the family who knew about the matter.

Upon hearing Mayfair's inquiry, the servant suddenly stopped talking.

"Is my question difficult to answer?"

"No, Miss Raya. It's just." The servant touched the cold sweat on his forehead and felt a little embarrassed: "To be crowned a knight, you are the master and you will be given some rewards. However, when many nobles are crowned knights, they usually do not give rewards. It is indeed rare for someone like Miss Raya to arrange armor and equipment for horses as well as manpower and grooms."

Fei'er suddenly understood, but didn't care: "Xu is very important to me, and he deserves all this."

"Of course." A servant doesn't dare to say anything. You are the master and whatever you say is what you say.

The servant added: "The executioner is not like others. He has never been a knight's apprentice, nor has he been in the soldier's reserve. He has not prepared any weapons and armor in advance. The master has thought very carefully about Xu. I believe that Xu will be more loyal if he knows about it." I am grateful to my master for the reward.”

After hearing these words, Fei'er couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then waved her hand for the two servants to step back.

She didn't tell Xu Siling about her arrangement because she wanted to give Xu Siling a surprise.

She had thought about this surprise several days ago.

Thinking of Xu Siling's surprised face tomorrow, she felt very happy.
