Chapter 381 A little show of skill

"Programming, what is programming?" Ilea asked curiously.

"A kind of creative magic that exists in the void, but the activation conditions are relatively harsh and require specific sacred weapons." Li Yu explained.

Miss Rabbit doesn't know how powerful it is, but since it involves void and creation, it feels like it should be quite powerful.

It seems that this first servant has something, no wonder he was sent here first on Saturday.

In order not to appear too ignorant, Ilea pretended to understand and nodded, commenting, "Yes, they are the talents we urgently need now."

"But it will take a few months for him to be effective," Li Yu said. "I will let Mary teach him the common language of mainland China first."

"It doesn't matter. The Silver Moon Church has been severely weakened by the Herodotus incident, and the Life Church is far away from the royal capital. We have plenty of time now."

…………

In the early morning, a light mist filled the forest.

The hooves of the galloping horses stepped on the dewy grass stems, and the guards of the Arias family rushed towards the villages and farms in the territory.

According to past practice, when executing a condemned prisoner, the news needs to be spread throughout the territory in advance to facilitate the people of the territory to come and watch.

Firstly, because there is a lack of entertainment these days, watching executions can be regarded as a kind of pastime. Secondly, doing so can also have a certain deterrent effect. If anyone wants to commit a crime, they will think of those death row prisoners who had their heads chopped off.

However, this time because Li Yu requested that the execution be carried out the next morning, time was tight.

Many people who live far away cannot catch up, but fortunately they still have new excitement to watch.

Just at dusk, Merlin, the prophet of Shuangxiu Cult, will personally preside over the summoning ceremony of heroic spirits, select the departed souls from the Kingdom of God, and let them descend to the continent of Bratis.

Continue to serve the church and Saturday as a follower.

This news actually spread secretly in the Green Field a month ago, but it was not officially confirmed until today.

It once again caused an uproar among the believers.

People put down what they were doing and rushed to Teacup Castle, wanting to witness this miracle with their own eyes.

Because the public's voice was too high, the female lord finally decided to postpone the execution originally scheduled for early morning to noon to facilitate more people to watch.

As for the execution location, it was about two miles south of Teacup Castle.

There is a forest there and a huge stone only as tall as a person, with a relatively flat top. The successive heads of the Arias family executed prisoners there.

Now the boulder has been stained brown with blood and is called the Blood Platform.

But this time the people who rushed there discovered that there was a wooden shelf next to the blood table.

The wooden frame was about three people tall, with a wooden board in the middle and a rope hanging from the top.

Hanging is not very common in the Western Territory. This is mainly because the population of the Western Territory itself is not large and there is no need to execute prisoners in batches and quickly in this way.

Moreover, the lords of the Western Region, especially the male lords, still prefer sword punishment in order to show off their martial prowess. They often perform the punishment in person or let their attendants do it for them.

The last time someone used hanging was the Raimondi family in Scaled City. In order to avenge his father and brother, Shapiro ordered all the 20,000 new soldiers of the Silver Moon Church to be executed.

Since there were not enough executioners, some of them were hanged.

But the situation here of the Arias family is obviously different from that of the Raimondi family. There are not many death row prisoners in Green Field.

Many people were surprised to see the female lord switch to hanging.

However, since Ilea converted to Saturday, there have been new changes in Green Field almost every day.

Whether it's new farm tools, new farming methods, those beautiful red brick houses and paper, or today's five days off, they are all more impressive than the changes in execution methods.

Therefore, not many people questioned this. The only regret is that the hanging was not beheading and was bloody and exciting, which was not eye-catching enough.

The ones who are most dissatisfied are those on death row who are about to be executed.

After seeing the gallows, someone cursed the female lord as a coward who dared not see blood, and Miss Rabbit did not tolerate him.

Someone brought the death row prisoner to the blood table, and then borrowed his sword from Thomas on the side and carried it to the blood table.

Adhering to a responsible attitude, the girl found a small tree aside to practice before going on stage.

The female lord did not hesitate. She picked up the sword in her hand and slashed at the cedar tree with a serious look on her face, as if she was fighting a powerful opponent.

As a result, after the three swords were struck, the prisoner on death row cried. He said that he had deeply realized his previous mistakes, and he begged the female lord with tears to hang him.

Sword torture seems simple, but in fact it is quite technical.

Those who can kill an owl with a sword must have excellent swordsmanship or excellent strength. As for the latter, half-orcs are talented in this area, but Ilea is a woman.

Moreover, he had never practiced swordsmanship before, and his posture looked fierce, but with one strike of his sword, he could only cut through a bit of tree bark, but it was far from enough to cut off his neck.

What's even more terrible is that her three swords are aimed at the same place, but the landing points are different, and some are even far apart. It is obviously unrealistic to point at her to rely on quantity to make up for the lack of strength.

If she really stood up for execution, she would most likely have chopped off more than a dozen swords, but the target would not die, and could only cry in pain on the ground.

A good sword torture turns into Ling Chi. Who can bear this?

Therefore, the death row prisoner who was very arrogant before was now cowarded. Fortunately, the female lord was still kind. After showing her hand, she did not embarrass the man too much and returned the sword to the knight.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ilea signaled for the execution to begin.

The focus of this morning was to hang Jie Qi, but just hanging Jie Qi always felt like something was missing.

After all, so many people came from home after hearing the news, and it felt like they were calling everyone out just for such a small thing.

So Miss Rabbit hired three other death row inmates to warm up the scene.

Soon, the first death row prisoner was brought to the gallows by the guards, and a rope was put around his neck. The female lord announced his crime in public, and then did not ask him about his last words like in the TV series, because this kind of thing is in the TV series.

I already asked in the dungeon.

Ilea then decisively ordered the execution, and the guards on the side turned the mechanism and pulled out the wooden plank under the feet of the condemned prisoner.

The latter's body immediately fell downwards. In theory, if the weight of the target and the length of the rope are calculated, it can destroy the nerve center by tearing off his cervical vertebrae, causing him to die quickly.

But in fact, neither the Arias family nor Shuangxiujiao had talents in this field, so there was something wrong with the length of the rope, causing the target to struggle for a while before dying.
