The Death Knell

Why does Su Ming always say that the queen is innocent?

In a world with a medieval background, what was the literacy rate? If you think about it with your heels, you should know that it's not much.

Why are the protagonists of fairy tales either princes or princesses? Isn’t that because common people are illiterate? Even the most typical Cinderella has never gone to school for a day and is essentially illiterate.

The queen wrote the royal list and asked the guards to post it outside the castle door. Su Ming didn't know what she was thinking specifically, and she didn't arrange anyone to read it out. There were just two spearmen guarding it.

They were obviously illiterate, because some good people passed by and asked them what was written on the emperor's list, and they replied that they didn't know either.

"So does the queen want to find a literate hunter?" Across the street, Deadpool touched his head. Even with his brain circuitry, he felt that the queen was a little abnormal: "If you want to find the strongest hunter in the country, you also need to Are you taking the cultural class exam?"

"Maybe." Deathstroke replied in a low voice, and he shrugged: "Maybe she wants to find a killer with comprehensive moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills to help her kill people. After all, it's easier for educated people to communicate, isn't it?"

What is the old saying? Studying is to be able to speak well to others, and learning martial arts is to enable others to speak well to you.

That’s pretty much what it means.

"It seems that no one will take on this mission except us." Deadpool turned around and looked behind him. There were no people on the street watching the fun, because they were not literate at all, and they didn't think Huang Bang was related to them. What does the day matter?

The numb masses refer to this kind of people. Anyway, they have food to eat and they don't care about any major national affairs.

In fact, it's right to think about it. In the Middle Ages, population was a resource. No matter what kind of king's flag changed on the city, no lord had to have trouble with his serfs.

If you like to kill your own farmers, there is no problem, but if you kill one, you will lose a share of labor force. In the game, it is called "loss economy".

Medieval lords may not be smart, but they also know where taxes come from. There are also lords who kill people for fun, but there are not many, and they don't live long.

"I was wondering how the queen found the Orion in the original book." Su Ming also noticed that no one came to compete with the two brothers for business, so he was very curious: "I took her money, but gave the target to Let him go, for being so unprofessional, he must have been introduced to the queen by the court jester, right?"

It's not that it's funny, it's just that that person's behavior conflicts with Su Ming's long-held principles.

What I pay attention to is that I will do things for whomever I take advantage of. Although I will be careful, I always strive to satisfy my employer.

Like the hunter in the original story, he took the money and did nothing, but deliberately let the target go, and later cut off the deer's tongue to defraud the employer of the reward. It was really bad, and it ruined the culture of hiring killers.

"I can understand him. To be honest, sometimes I won't kill a beautiful woman when I see one." Deadpool sighed and patted his cousin on the shoulder: "You are so dedicated, Slade. It’s like a machine all the time.”

My cousin's mission completion rate has always been 100%, he has never failed, and he can attack all targets regardless of gender, age or child.

As for Deadpool himself, unless she is a particularly annoying or ugly woman, he is still quite sympathetic to her.

"Call me Bell, my stupid Ou Doudou." Su Ming silently kicked the bitch lightly, then walked to the place where the imperial list was posted, and talked with the two guards: "Two gentlemen, I and I The brothers are the ones the queen is looking for, we are the best hunters in the country."

The two guards were not in charge. They just sent one of them out, took the brothers into the castle, introduced them to an official who looked like a palace eunuch, and then went out to guard the imperial list.

As for this official, with his fat head and white putty face, he didn't look like a shrewd person. He couldn't make the decision, so he took the two of them to see the queen for her personal assessment.

There was no body search during the whole process, nor was the two of them asked to put down their weapons. In this way, the two of them were brought into the throne room and met the woman.

There were no guards or maids around, and the officials who led the way had also gone out. It was obvious that the queen had already made arrangements.

She seems quite confident in her own strength. That's right. She is a witch after all. Even though this is just a low-magic world and magic is just a poisonous apple that is not very poisonous, she can be considered the strongest among ordinary people. One already.

Maybe in her opinion, the two hunters couldn't threaten her safety at all, so that's why she was so relieved, right?

"She really looks a bit like Diana." Deadpool poked his cousin's waist with his elbow and whispered: "She is indeed quite beautiful. In my opinion, in terms of skin color, she is destined to be prettier than Princess Charcoal. ”

There was no one else in the throne room, so it was extremely quiet. His whispers were naturally heard by the queen.

She was not angry at all when the pariah Orion commented on her appearance. Instead, she was very happy because she also liked what Deadpool said. As long as he said she was prettier than Snow White, she didn't care about anything else.

Moreover, Deadpool also gave the little bitch a nickname, Princess Black Carbon, which made the queen even more excited, even ignoring the stench on someone's body.

"Excuse me, you two claim to be the best hunters in this country. Can you prove it to me?"

The king of this country has long had his hair tied up, and the queen has become the biggest one. She raised her hand and saved the two of them from the tedious steps of kneeling and saluting, and got straight to the point. It also showed that she couldn't wait to see the little bitch go. died.

"Of course, Your Majesty." Deathstroke, disguised as Bell, stretched out his hand, seemingly from behind, but actually took out a rabbit from his pocket: "Please let me show you how to dismember a prey. It's simple. You can eat it by removing the head, and its protein content is many times that of beef."

As he spoke, he served the rabbit with skillful techniques, first twisting its neck, then pulling out the head along with the spine, then gouging out the rabbit's eyes, cutting off its ears, and cutting off its tongue. and tail, then start skinning it.

The red blood dripped on the floor of the royal court, making a dripping sound, which was very obvious in the empty room.

The reason why she did this is very simple. Although the queen said she was looking for a hunter, what she wanted in her heart was a killer. Therefore, rather than having skills with bows and arrows, someone who is ruthless and can make the prey die miserably is the best choice. Bar?

Just as Su Ming expected, the woman sitting on the throne was breathing rapidly, and her mouth was even harder to press than a Vulcan cannon.

The woman who looked a bit like Wonder Woman, looking at the miserable condition of the rabbit in his hand, seemed to think that Princess Charcoal would die like this, she was so satisfied.
