I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 88 Invited to Participate in Witch Trial
People from the Frofen family gradually appeared on the hillside road.

No matter how stupid Wally was, he knew at this moment that he shouldn't be riding on the horse, so he quickly dismounted and followed Xu Siling's horse.

Seeing so many people greeting her, Xu Siling couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought of something.

When he lived on the hillside with his adoptive father, no one would ever set foot in this place unless there was an execution to watch.

And he has long been accustomed to living alone. No matter what he does, when he goes out and comes back, he faces an empty house without feeling anything.

Now I find that the hillside is gradually changing. When I return from going out, there are so many people waiting for me.

Setsuna was still a little unaccustomed to him.

Everyone Xu Siling looked at saluted and showed their respect.

When the children saw Xu Siling coming back, they all cheered.

For the people of the Frofen family, it is a miracle that the executioner can become a knight, and for the children, it is their idol and the goal of their growth.

Back outside her house, Xu Siling was stunned.

The wooden fence was torn down and replaced with a stone wall.

Even the yard enclosed by the stone wall is wider than before.

It's just that the wall is a bit high.

The stone wall gate hadn't been built yet, and Ella was waiting for him in the gap in the wall.

Ella's black hair was as smooth and thick as lacquer, fluttering gently in the breeze.

Wearing home clothes, she held her hands at her waist and stared at Xu Siling with gray eyes, as if she was lifeless.

The face is dull and smooth, but the facial features are still so delicate and beautiful.

"Husband, you are back."

Xu Siling dismounted, and the groom and servants stepped forward to serve him. The groom took the horse away, and the servants removed Xu Siling's weapons.

"This mission trip went quite smoothly and the harvest was not small."

"Ella has heard about what her husband is doing outside." Ella's expression was indifferent, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing: "It's just that you are alone, killing so many bandits, you are not afraid of something happening, everyone is afraid ."

The tone was emotionless, but Xu Siling could sense the worry and accusation in Ella's words.

He smiled with relief: "I wouldn't do this if I wasn't completely sure."

"Okay, my husband, the knight of justice, come inside and rest."

Vali was holding the horse and was confused as to where to go. When he first came here, he didn't know where his residence was.

I don't even know where my luggage is being packed.

Fortunately, the servant never forgot about the knight's apprentice. According to the social environment at that time, the knight's apprentice had to live in the knight's yard, which was not much different from the servant. He also had to take care of the knight's daily life.

It's just that the knight's apprentice can always accompany the knight when he goes out, and he can do more complicated things than the servant.

After handing the horse to the groom, Vali told the groom to keep an eye on the trophies on the horse. These were the fruits of Xu Siling's and Luo Shui's nearly ten days of struggle outside.

Under the arrangement of the servant, Vali came to the house that was originally a storage room.

The sundries and various materials and tools in the storage room were moved out to another newly built wooden house for unified management.

The storage room has also been transformed into a mixed room, which is divided into two areas, one half is the kitchen, and the other half is the bedroom with two beds.

Vali scratched his head. Just as he was choosing which bed, Luo Shui opened the door and walked in.

"I'll sleep on the bed by the window!"

"Why, I want to sleep on a bed by the window!" Vali angrily said, "Your home is nearby, why is it in the courtyard?"

"That's okay. It was just a joke. I didn't want to live on the bed by the window." Luo Shui laughed loudly and went to another bed to sit down: "Isn't this just to take care of you?"

Realizing that he was being teased, Vali's unsatisfied face turned red again: "Get out of here!"

Unlike the quarrel between the two children, Xu Siling and Ella in the main room were quite calm.

The layout of the main house has not changed much, except that the original cooking area has been cleared and a crafting table has been added, with a lot of tools and materials placed on it.

Because of Ella's dislike, few people can enter the main house, and even servants have little chance of entering.

With Ella's help, Xu Siling took off his chainmail robe and his dirty underwear, revealing his strong muscles.

Ella took the hot water that had been prepared and wiped Xu Siling's body with a towel.

Xu Siling sat on the chair, looking at Ella's delicate face and her always calm expression, her pink lips slightly open.

"The family has changed a lot recently, but Terry and the others won't dare to start construction unless you come back to make the decision in many places."

"how."

"The yard has been expanded three times. They want to build you a banquet hall and a small guard tower. There is an area in it that will be used as a residence for your followers in the future."

"I see they are all still living in tents, why don't they build themselves a house first."

“They want to build you a yard first.”

Xu Siling couldn't help but shake her head: "As for the construction of the yard, if you think it's okay, just build it like this."

"How could they listen to me?"

Who would dare to be disobedient to someone else's knight's wife, but Ella and the Frofen family are different and special.

The Frofen family knows that Ella is now a knight's wife, but Ella's image of being silly and naive and never having enough to eat has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and difficult to change. In their eyes, Ella will never be able to take on big responsibilities and cannot support the family.

"Do you need me to tell them?"

"No need, it's good this way. There won't be so much trouble. I can stay by myself quietly."

"Then let them build it. I agree with the original courtyard design concept. But with so many stones and materials, will the cost be too high?"

Ella said calmly: "The money spent is not our money, what are you afraid of."

"Can they bear it?"

"Terry and the others, because they had some unpleasantness with you when they sent me here last time, this yard expansion is an apology and gift from the family."

"This gift is really expensive."

"Now that you are a knight, please be normal."

Ella washed the towel again, came to Xu Siling, and touched his beard strangely.

"help you?"

Xu Siling couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems you don't like the way I grow a beard."

Ella was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking. Her ears turned slightly red, but her expression did not change.

"It's almost the same. Let me shave it for you. I'm very handy."

As she spoke, she took out a knife and started shaving Xu Siling's beard.

I have to say that Ella’s hands are really smart, and her hand holding the knife is very steady. It is probably because she has been playing with hand tools for many years. She is very serious and careful in her work.

After shaving his beard, Xu Siling felt much refreshed.

"Did anything happen during this period?" "Two things." Ella cleaned the knife and towel and said slowly: "Miss Raya has arranged for people to come here to look for you every day these days, and she also came today. , seems to be urgent."

Xu Siling responded slowly. He had not been in Raya Town for the past ten days and did not know what happened.

"There is another thing related to your good friend Farina."

I don't know if it was because she didn't want Xu Siling, but Ella seemed to have delayed the word 'good friend' for a while.

Xu Siling wondered: "What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know." Ella's expression was indifferent, "Under your instructions, several witches have moved down the mountain to settle on the hillside, but Farina and her aunt have not moved down. Did you give her any instructions? "

"Well, I'll arrange a job for her."

Ella moved more than 30 cans of MSG from one side of the house.

Making MSG is inherently simple, mainly because of the raw materials. Falina's access to raw materials is limited, and it is not as easy for ordinary people to buy things.

According to Xu Siling and Feier's ideas, MSG is mainly targeted at the wealthy and aristocratic groups, so the fact that Farina makes MSG slowly and in small quantities is not a problem.

"Farina asked me to give this to you, but her expression was very panicked and she kept asking when you would be back. It seemed like something urgent had happened to her as well."

Xu Siling couldn't help thinking and worrying: "Didn't you keep her here?"

"She refused."

Ella saw that Xu Siling was deep in thought, and she asked lightly.

"My husband, now your noble lady is looking for you in an emergency, and your good friend is also looking for you in an emergency. Who should you call first?"

"Ok?"

Perhaps it was an illusion, Xu Siling felt that there was something wrong with this problem, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was for the time being.

Just when he was thinking about how to answer Ella's question, the servant outside the main house came and knocked on the door and shouted.

"Lord Siling, Miss Raya arranged for someone to come find you."

Aila rarely snorted: "It seems that someone helped you make a choice."

Xu Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With Ella's help, she simply washed herself and changed into clean clothes.

Putting on the weapon again, Xu Siling came to the yard and followed the messenger back to Raya Town.

Before leaving, Ella specifically asked Xu Siling to be careful.

He didn't know whether to be careful of something happening or to let him be careful of Fei'er.

The reason why Feier knew he was coming back was because he was seen by the guards when he came back with Luo Shui and Vali.

Although Xu Siling was worried about Falina's condition, he could only go to Feier first to see what happened in Raya Town.

After arriving in Raya Town, nearly 10 days have passed and nothing has changed.

There are just more people lining up and more tents set up around Raya Town.

Details of epidemic prevention work will be gradually added, and inspection work will only become more serious and cumbersome.

Many people who came to seek refuge could not move into Raya Town on the same day, so they had to set up tents outside the castle.

Fortunately, Mayfair arranged for people to control the people outside the castle, so there was no big problem.

When they arrived at the inner castle, the servants saluted Xu Siling one after another and asked about Fei'er's location. He went straight to look for her.

Fei'er was still handling affairs in the bookstore. When she saw Xu Siling coming, her expression first showed joy, and then she restrained her emotions.

"You are finally back. I heard what you were doing outside, and I don't know how worried I am about you."

Mayfair was wearing a black corset dress, her blond hair was spread out, and her blue eyes under her bangs were full of happiness. She hadn't seen him for ten days, and she missed a certain guy very much.

"Enri told me that even if she was wearing full armor, she wouldn't dare to wipe out all the bandits in Raya Town by herself. You are ruthless."

Xu Siling came to sit down in front of the desk and coughed lightly: "These forest bandits are a scourge, and I am doing this for justice!"

Mayfair rolled her eyes cutely: "Yes, yes, my knight of justice is the most righteous. But next time for such a righteous matter, please bring more people with you so that I don't have to worry about you."

The words between the two were full of flirting, ambiguous concern.

"You keep asking people to come to me. What happened?"

"Look at this."

Feier took out a letter from the desk and pushed it in front of Xu Siling.

"It was sent here by that old guy Hamis."

Xu Siling raised an eyebrow: "The lord of Tamu Castle is finally willing to reply to you directly?"

"It counts as a reply. It doesn't count."

Xu Siling was surprised, but he still opened the letter and read it first.

After reading it, he couldn't help but frown.

Before Mayfair wrote a letter, he took it to Tamubao and gave it to Khamis.

The content of the letter is very simple. It accuses Khamis of his behavior, instructs him to stop the witch hunt, stop arresting her people from Raya Town without authorization, and asks him to release all the captured women of Raya Town. .

But for so long, Hamis has not responded at all.

There is now.

The content of the letter is very simple, that is, Dar Khamis of Tamubao invites Mayfair to go to Tamubao to participate in the witch trial three days later.

That's why Fei'er said, it counts as a reply, but it doesn't count as a positive reply.

Khamis did not end the witch hunt, nor was he prepared to release the captured people. He even invited Mayfair to participate in the witch trial, to judge her people in front of her.

Xu Siling put the letter back on the table and said solemnly: "Looking at what he means, he is preparing to conflict with you."

"Not everyone is like me and knows what is right, and not everyone is like me and can meet you." Mayfair didn't care about Khamis's provocation. "He firmly believes that Black Death The disease appears because of the existence of witches, but you and I both know that the problem of the Black Death does not come from heaven or man. He is wrong, but he just doesn’t understand.”

"Then are you going?"

"Of course I want to go, my people won't allow him to judge." Mayfair is very tough in this regard. The construction of Raya Town is gradually booming these days. Although the economic situation has not improved yet, compared with other towns and castles, it is not too good. This is the source of her confidence.

"Then I will accompany you."

"You are my knight, of course you have to accompany me." Faile snorted cutely, "I even wrote to Khamis and asked to use his banquet hall to hold a banquet. I invited other nobles to Tamu Castle to attend. banquet."

Xu Siling was stunned for a moment, then Fei'er continued.

"Don't you want to sell MSG? The best way to open up the channels for MSG is to hold a banquet. I invite other nobles. As long as they taste the goodness of MSG, they will sell it for you."

I have to say that Fei'er's method is really good, and she is really considering it for Xu Siling.

This soft rice tastes so delicious.

"And I am also going to inform these nobles about the successful epidemic prevention in Raya Town."

"I want to destroy the stupidity of Khamis's witch hunt. The Holy See will help us prove our deeds and he is wrong."
