Middle Ages 1347.

France, the border of the Duchy of Bury.

Free and cheap, the leaves fly higher than the crows.

Xu Siling's brown eyes followed the flying leaves, which danced for a while, and finally landed on the neck of the man kneeling on the execution table and bowing his head in prayer.

Dressed in a black robe, with a strong figure, the design of the robe was wide and enveloping the figure, making Xu Siling look more serious and Ling Ran, and the neckline of the robe was turned up high, partially covering his chin and face, adding an intimidating taste.

Xu Siling pestled the big axe and bent down to pat the leaves off the man's neck.

This move frightened the man violently.

On the execution platform built on the top of the small slope, many civilians watched, chattering, waiting for the man's head to hit the ground.

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

However, they prefer to see more torturous executions, such as gouging out their eyes and cutting out their tongues, and beheadings are 'happy' among the many executions.

After all, for the prisoner, it hurts.

Xu Siling is still very experienced in how to take off people's heads at one time.

After all, as an executioner, if he didn't hack a prisoner to death by beheading him three times, he would have committed a crime in terms of law.

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

Xu Siling's eyes were indifferent and there were no waves, he had seen too much of this kind of look.

"Don't move your head on the board, I'll be fast, you bear with me."

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

After slowly resting their heads on the board, the civilians began to heckle.

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

Then he raised the large axe in both hands as a tool for the execution of the beheading, which had a palpitating deterrent effect, and the rioting civilians were silenced.

The large axe has a thick, heavy wooden handle, long enough for the bearer to hold in both hands, the appearance of the wooden handle shows the signs of age, the head of the axe is a heavy iron blade, in the shape of a sharp triangle, the edge of the blade is smooth and sharp, and it is able to cut everything with ease.

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

Xu Siling steadied his breathing, and the blade whistled and slashed downward.

With a loud thud, the crow flew and the axe slashed into the man's neck with precision.

Blood gushed out in an instant, forming a bright red arc, and then there was a muffled thud, and the head detached from the body.

The criminal's head rolled on the stage, blood splattered like a fountain, and there was a smell of iron, and in a moment the head rolled and fell to the ground fiercely, and blood continued to gush out of the mutilated part of the neck, forming a pool of blood.

The civilians cheered again, and most of them were excited, except for a few who were pale and uncomfortable.

Different from the cheers from the audience, Xu Siling, who was executed on the stage, just stood quietly with a big axe, looking into the distance and seemed to be in a daze.

[Since you try a prisoner, gain some proficiency in the prisoner's skill]

[Sword fighting proficiency increased by 218]

[Riding proficiency increased by 473]

[Bow and arrow proficiency increased by 124]

...

Xu Siling looked at the window in front of him, and sighed in his heart, it was worthy of a knight's head, and it was comfortable to cut it off.

Of the many executions he had tried, beheading gave the highest percentage of proficiency.

And the prisoners who can be beheaded are basically not ordinary people, most of them are nobles or knights, so Xu Siling is looking forward to every opportunity to behead.

The civilians began to disperse and return to the town.

It didn't take long for the top of the small slope to be deserted instantly, and Xu Siling also began to clean up.

At the end of the execution, the prisoner's belongings belonged to the executioner, and in the Middle Ages, anything was worth anything, even the clothes of the dead, and they could be stripped down and sold to the miller.

After living 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 blood, the work is still very good.

The executioner was exempt from taxes, and he could also receive food and the lord's private allowance from the town every month, plus all kinds of gray income, and the living conditions were very good.

But...

Xu Siling lifted the body and threw it into the pit dug in advance, he looked up at the town on the opposite side of the hillside, the figures inside were joyful, accompanied by bursts of lively smoke, it seemed that he was very lonely on the hillside.

As an executioner, Zaijiao's arguments are dirty, 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 professions, cannot be educated, cannot live in towns and cities, and so on.

The reason why the common people have a dislike and fear of the executioner is obvious, the executioner has always been regarded as a cold-blooded killer, and for a long time working with corpses, they all feel that contact with the executioner is a defilement of the soul.

Xu Siling buried the pit with a shovel, packed up his things and walked towards the wooden house next door.

His home was near the execution bench.

As a reborn, Xu Siling certainly does not believe in religion, he believes in the God of Wealth more than God, so he doesn't care whether he can enter the church to be taught.

And the executioner's work income is good, and the execution is rewarded with a system, quack incense.

Not to mention being able to have your own home on a beautiful hillside at a young age, isn't that enough?

It's the Middle Ages! What more bikes.

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

However, today is the day to receive food and allowances, and Xu Siling has to go into the town after packing up, and bring back the things he ordered by the way.

Putting on a hooded cloak, Xu Siling headed for the town.

Under the main gate of Raya Town, two guards were heavily armed to check on pedestrians, and the chain mail was wearing the color of the logo representing the lord of Raya Town.

Seeing Xu Siling, who was half of his face exposed, enter the city, the two of them didn't dare to stop and ask before they let them go.

Xu Siling didn't put on a hood and cloak to hide his identity, but it was raining continuously in the past few days, and the town was muddy.

The executioners were all registered, and it was useless to hide his face, not to mention that he had lived here for twenty years, and everyone in Raya Town knew him.

When the people in the town saw him, they all subconsciously avoided giving way.

The car came to the door of the magistrate's office, and there were also guards on duty at the door.

The guard's name was Henry, and when he saw Xu Siling, he pulled the corners of his mouth and greeted him.

"Xu, here."

"As always, I won't go in, you can help me talk to the sheriff."

"We'll have to wait, my lord is talking to the magistrate about business."

In the entire Raya Town, there are only two people who are barely familiar with Xu Siling, one is Henry at the door of the magistrate, and the other is the miller who resells stolen goods.

Xu Siling was not very familiar with the lords of Raya Town, although he received a twenty-year allowance from others.

When 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, tomorrow another prisoner is going to behead him?"

Henry was speechless: "Can you not keep thinking about cutting off people's heads." ”

"For me, happiness is having my head cut off every day." Seeing that Henry didn't seem to know how to answer, Xu Siling sighed helplessly: "Say, what good news." ”

"Hehe, Tamu Fort next door moved into an executioner family a few days ago, what's the matter, good news. I heard that people still have daughters. ”

Xu Siling was dumbfounded.

, the head grabber is coming!
