I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 104 How to identify witches

The two-handed sword fell down like a judgment.

Blood spurted out, his palms were nailed to the ground and unable to move, Tal screamed in pain again!

"what!!!!!"

Khamis gritted his teeth angrily and shouted to stop: "That's enough! Stop it!"

Fei'er hugged her shoulders and naturally didn't bother to speak. As long as Xu Siling didn't kill the other party, it would be fine. After all, Tal didn't admit defeat personally, right?

Xu Siling glanced at Hamis behind him and snorted contemptuously.

Then he looked at Tal who was in pain on the ground and wanted to cover his injured hand but didn't dare, and said coldly.

"You lose, Tal."

Tal was lying on the ground, his hand trembling as he was inserted, and he gently turned his head to look up at the sky.

Xu Siling lightly pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and stood next to his head. Under the sunlight, his body was covered with a layer of light, like a winner, or in other words, he was the winner.

Tal was a little confused. He didn't know why he suddenly lost. His shoulders hurt, his face hurt, his chest hurt, and his hands hurt even more. He had never tasted this kind of pain before, and his face seemed to be knocked upside down. Five-flavor jar, I can’t tell what it tastes like.

"It's impossible how could I lose? How could I lose to you, the executioner!!" Tal was hit and became a little mentally disturbed. His eyes moved randomly, sometimes looking at Xu Siling, sometimes at the sky, and then to the outside. Noble soldiers, his mental state is even more broken.

"If your aristocratic helpers didn't admit defeat quickly enough, you would have died."

"No, I didn't lose! If today was not just a duel, if you were on other battlefields in the kingdom today, you would have been killed by me as an enemy. How could you, the executioner of Raya Town, have the right to shout!"

Xu Siling could see that the arrogant Tal couldn't accept the fact that he lost. After all, he had never lost before.

"You have already regarded me as your enemy, haven't you? In other words, in your eyes, we in Raya Town are your enemies."

"Are you kidding! I am the Knight of Talmuburg!! I am Tal! I will not lose, let alone be defeated!"

"It's because you are a knight that I didn't cut off your head with this sword just now."

Tarr was about to yell something more, but he was stunned when he heard these words, his pupils trembling, and his originally ferocious face was now gray and gray, with nosebleeds on his face. He did not look like a proud and noble knight.

He's just an old dog who won't admit defeat when he's defeated.

"I know what you want to say." Xu Siling's chainmail robe was extremely dazzling in the sun. He still supported the hilt of the sword with one hand and said calmly: "Tal, you want to say that you are a noble knight, but I am just You are a lowly executioner. If someone like me were to see you in other places, I would not even be able to raise my head to look at you. I could only lower my head and salute you. It is a pity that Miss Raya gave me the status of a knight so that I can have this kind of relationship with you here. In this duel, if it were not for this status, I, the executioner, would be vulnerable to your knight's privileges. If you are happy, you can take my life at any time. But, the rules are set by Tamubao, and the duel is your choice. Yes, you are the one who loses, so why can’t you accept the facts?”

Tal gently closed his eyes, his body trembling: "How could I lose? I have been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years. I get up early every day to practice swordsmanship, and I also practice swordsmanship repeatedly before going to bed, day after day. I clearly know that I worked so hard before. How could I lose?"

"Ever since I can remember, I have always understood the truth, that is, never move yourself."

Xu Siling pulled out the sword inserted in Tar's palm and held the two-handed sword in one hand. Tar was in pain but did not move. Xu Siling's eyes were indifferent and his tone was calm and unhurried. It seemed that victory was a matter of course for him. The result of victory would not even make him happy and excited.

"Because most people's seemingly hard work is just caused by stupidity, such as staying up late to study, getting up early to work hard for something, such as practicing swordsmanship every day. If these things are worthy of bragging and self-praise, then in the world, we will do our best to survive. Civilians, any of them work much harder than you. I know that people are inevitably born with self-pity, but only by staying awake at all times can you see clearly where your true value lies. Your value Not in this duel, Tal."

Tal's trembling body froze. He raised his head in disbelief, opened his eyes and stared at Xu Siling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Siling, are you teaching me how to behave?"

"Working hard is just the norm in life. There is no one in this world who doesn't work hard." Xu Siling looked scornfully, "Don't use your status as a knight and your verbal efforts to get into trouble. In the end, they won't cooperate with your acting, and you lose."

Ignoring Tal lying on the ground, he glanced around and saw Khamis's shock and anger, Mayfair's joyful admiration, and the shock of the nobles.

The soldier who had the chips to win the duel was standing on the side of the tavern, and Xu Siling found him at a glance.

He stepped forward, his steps steady and without hesitation.

When the soldier saw Xu Siling coming towards him, he was shocked and panicked. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that there was no way for him to retreat in the tavern. Even Hamis and others could only look at him without the desire to open his mouth.

Xu Siling raised his sword with both hands. The blade was still stained with Tarr's blood. In the eyes of the soldiers, it was the color of death.

"Master Hamis, Mr. Frank, save me!"

However, Xu Siling didn't give others any time to react.

The two-handed sword is like a silver moon, shining in front of people's eyes.

First there was a sound of rushing wind, and then a puff.

The soldier's head was chopped off by Xu Siling with one blow.

The accuracy is amazing.

His head rolled smoothly on the muddy ground, his face still looking frightened and asking for help.

The headless corpse spurted blood and finally fell down.

Seeing this scene, Hamis and others turned slightly pale. They dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

From the very beginning of this duel, they had said that it was a sacred and fair duel. Whoever lost would have to hand over his soldiers to the other side without any complaints.

"If you insult a noble with words, you should die."

Xu Siling ruthlessly judged the soldier's death, and then looked at Frank next to Hamis.

Frank's expression turned pale at this time, he never imagined that this would be the result.

How could Tal lose?

In other words, how could my plan fail?

It is understandable that Xu Siling asked Khamis for help before hearing that the soldier died.

But he actually asked Frank for help?

This meaning was expressed very vaguely. Judging from the situation, the conflict in the tavern was not an emergency, but more like a plan by a certain Jew.

Apparently, someone had planned to frame him before he came to Tamubao.

Frank found Xu Siling looking at him. He didn't dare to look directly and quickly avoided his eyes.

Xu Siling snorted coldly, sheathed the swords in both hands, and returned to Fei'er and others.

The soldiers of the Frofen family shouted in celebration when they saw Xu Siling returning safely, especially when he executed the soldiers on the opposite side so handsomely.

No one is more excited than them.

Their family is affiliated with Xu Siling. The more famous and powerful Xu Siling is, the happier they will naturally be.

Especially since Xu Siling was born as an executioner, winning this wonderful duel successfully injected a strong shot in the heart of these soldiers from the executioner family. Who says executioners are lowly?

Who said it was wrong for Miss Raya to make the executioner a knight?

Who says executioners don't deserve superb martial arts?

An Li's face was full of admiration, and she gradually understood the gap between herself and Xu Siling. She had difficulty recognizing the three consecutive losses to Xu Siling. She only knew that Xu Siling could beat her with ease.

Now Xu Siling can still win with such ease against a knight like Tal who is so much stronger than herself. Anli understands how big the gap between her own strength and Xu Siling is.

Fei'er's blue eyes looked at Xu Siling's triumphant return, and helped her breathe a sigh of relief. Her eyes were full of joy at seeing her lover. If there weren't so many people here, Fei'er would have jumped into Xu Siling's body. In my arms.

Ella's expression remained calm and unchanged, but her attention was focused on Fei'er's expression, which seemed to confirm something more.

On the contrary, when Farina saw Xu Siling winning, her expression was the most indifferent one besides Ella. She clapped gently, happy for Xu Siling's victory.

Just when Fei'er wanted to say something, the nobles watching the show began to gather over, and they surrounded Fei'er and complimented her.

"Congratulations to Miss Raya, I didn't expect to find such a knight with such superb sword skills."

"Yes, with this kind of strength, even the famous swordsman master in the kingdom cannot give in!"

"From the very beginning, I felt that this duel was unfair. Lord Khamis' arrangement was biased. I was also worried that your knight was a executioner and would not be as good at sword fighting as Tal. I was still worried, but I didn't expect that."

Mayfair saw the changes in the attitudes of the nobles, and felt happy in her heart.

I have to say that strength often means the right to speak.

Although only Xu Siling's personal strength stands out.

But since Fei'er took over Raya Town, there are only a few rumors that have spread, and they have always been the subject of jokes among the nobles.

For example, the deaths of Johns and Abner, the town of Raya sheltering foreigners during the Black Death, and the canonization of an executioner as a knight, and the news from Raya Town that Mayfair was inspired by God.

These four main things have always been criticized by Mayfair.

For now, let’s not talk about the death of Johns and his son. The last three things have already been solved today and are self-defeating.

It has been confirmed that these three things were not decided by Feier, a fool who slapped her butt.

On the contrary, she was smart and kind, otherwise she would not have been favored by God, received revelation, knew how to cure and control the Black Death, and then went against the grain of other cities and accepted outsiders.

He had a keen eye and knew that Xu Siling was an extraordinary executioner. Not to mention other things, his sword fighting skills alone were worthy of the status of a knight.

After all the rumors were revealed, the nobles naturally did not have so many labels for Mayfair. Instead, they felt that Mayfair was a powerful girl. It was natural for her to inherit Raya Town, and she was also the best!

As for the deaths of Johns and his son, let them die.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Hamis ordered people to carry the lost Tal to heal his injuries. He stood with Frank and looked fiercely at Faile who was surrounded by all the nobles, with a disgusting expression.

"It's all your fault for making any bad plan that caused Tal to lose so miserably. I finally managed to suppress Mayfair's momentum in the banquet hall, and everyone is more willing to believe what I said. Now I can't suppress it anymore!"

"Master Hamis, I...I really didn't expect that Xu Siling's sword skills are so superb. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be."

"It shouldn't be" Khamis snorted, waved his hand and left. He was in a bad mood now and didn't want to communicate with the Jews anymore.

Frank looked at Hamis's leaving back and wanted to say something, but finally gritted his teeth and shook his head and left.

"Miss Raya, when we were in the banquet hall just now, you haven't talked about the control and treatment of the Black Death, but you have been keeping our appetite."

"Yes, if that old guy Hamis hadn't kept interrupting, it wouldn't have ruined the gentle and beautiful atmosphere of the banquet hall."

"Everyone has no food to eat!"

"Yes, it's all because Hamis was so startled and said that Raya Town is related to witches."

"He's joking, but he's still out of his mind."

When Fei'er listened to the words of these nobles, her lips were grinning to the corners of her eyes, but in reality, she only had a faint smile on the surface.

"In fact, it is not difficult to control and treat the Black Death, but they all have their own costs."

Seeing that Feier was about to implement her plan, Xu Siling was not very interested. Instead, Terry kept winking at him from the side, obviously having something to say.

He signaled Enri to protect Mayfair, and then he and Terry came to the corner of the tavern.

"Sorry, Xu, I didn't expect that my tribe would clash with the soldiers of Tamubao when I went out to carry out your order." Terry apologized. If something happened to his tribe, he would naturally be responsible: "Your order does not require so many people." Just do it, it happened that the clan members returned to Tamubao and wanted to have fun in the tavern. So I let them go, and before I left, I specifically told them not to let them cause trouble."

"It has nothing to do with them. Someone is setting a trap for us."

"Someone set a trap for us?" Terry stared.

Xu Siling nodded and said in a deep voice: "As expected, the Jew named Frank, including this duel, had all been premeditated."

"This is a thing raised by my cousin!" Terry scolded fiercely.

"First tell me how the investigation went with the things I arranged for you."

"As for tomorrow's witch trial, our tribe is still responsible for the trial. No one in Tamubao is willing to do this kind of dirty work. The process and details of the witch trial have been explained clearly to me by the tribe. As for Although the tribesmen could not enter the prison to check on the safety of the women who were captured, he found out that these women were all safe and that they had not received any punishment before the trial."

Xu Siling understood: "Tell me how Hamis and the others want to try the witches tomorrow."

Terry couldn't help but have a weird expression.

"They first need to confirm whether the women are witches, and there are certain ways to confirm."

"Just tell me."

"The process of identifying a witch is to first take off all the clothes of the woman and make her naked, then shave all the hair on the witch's body, leaving no armpit hair, etc., and then use a special needle to prick the witch's body, all over her body. Prick all over, looking for special spots, all done in public. The purpose is to look for the mark of the devil."

Terry swallowed and then said: "Because according to the answer Hamis got, witches are servants of the devil, and the devil's main method of seducing and controlling witches is to have sexual intercourse with them, so the witch must not be a virgin first."

"The devil will leave a mark on the witch after sexual intercourse, and this mark is also the source of the witch's magic power. According to them, the mark is often black, and even if it is pricked with a needle, it will not hurt or bleed. So women had to be stripped naked and shaved so that the marks could not be hidden, and they needed to be probed with needles to identify whether a mark was the mark of the devil."
