Two days later, Rector Webster was back in Segovira.

This time, however, he did not bring only one retinue, but led a heavily armed guard.

Both in terms of equipment and momentum, it is a group of regular troops with strict professional training.

There were about 5,000 people, enough to raze the whole of Segovera to the ground.

In this way, they took control of the city in a grand manner.

When he walked into the hall of Segovia's house, Recter was still carrying a weapon.

"You're finally here?" Isabel sat in a wheelchair, still expressionless and calm, "I thought you would be a little more patient."

In addition to the Segovia family, several other guests also gathered in the hall, including the Carlos sisters and Miss Medici.

"Looks like you've been waiting a long time, right?" Rector said, "You should know my purpose."

"The Royal Knights can't satisfy you anymore?" Isabel seemed unfazed, and her tone of voice did not change at all.

"Joke, the Order is nothing more than an army. If it can't play its due value, then what does it have to do with the display?"

"The Order's duty should be to guard the palace."

"It's just in name. The knights I have trained are all brave and good at fighting, so why do you have to do this kind of work as a caretaker?"

"So, what exactly do you want?"

"I want them to be worth their rightful time. The Iberian Peninsula is now nominally subject to a co-owner, but in practice it is divided into one side. Both Castile and Aragon have great military prowess, but they both like to be alone. Only the creation of a truly homogeneous empire would allow Spain to regain supremacy at sea. Everything I do is for the future of Iberia."

"You're too egotistical to know how cruel war can be. Do you want to destroy the peace that our ancestors had won so hard?"

"You're wrong, I had to do this for the sake of a more permanent peace in the future."

"Haven't you thought about what kind of disaster this will bring to the people?"

"As long as you can build a strong empire, you can build a stronger army. At that time, the Britons will not be a problem at all."

"The strength of a country cannot be achieved by force alone. The defeat of the Empire's Armada was more the result of the accumulation of social problems. And the problems of Iberia cannot be solved by a consistently strong army alone. In doing so, you will not only push Castile into the abyss, but also the whole of Iberia."

"I am a knight and a soldier, and I can only play my value in battle."

"Whether it's a knight or a soldier, the purpose of its existence is to protect. Looks like you still haven't figured it out."

"Stop talking nonsense, hand over the ring." Rector drew his sword.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Look like you're already winning, aren't you?" Isabel said meaningfully.

"You old fox, I don't dare take it lightly." Rector clenched the hilt of his sword.

"Really? No matter how I am, I'm just an old lady. If you bring so many people, I can protect myself at best. And my family and people are here, so you still have the upper hand at the moment."

"In that case, what else do you have to say?"

"Well, I do have a lot of questions. But, after all, I'm getting older, so let's let the young people ask me questions."

Isabel said, looking at Bella.

Bella nodded, then stepped forward.

"This must be Miss Carlos, right?" Recht asked.

"Exactly." Bella bowed very gracefully.

"This matter has nothing to do with Your Excellency. Including the Medici." As he spoke, Rector glanced at Elena next to him, "You can leave on your own, I won't stop you. This is an internal matter of Castile, and I don't think the two families want to get involved in unnecessary trouble, right?"

"I'm sorry," replied Bella, "we have been commissioned by Lady Isabel to investigate the cause of Mr. Terrence Segovia's death."

"Then you will investigate yours, so why get into trouble?"

"Because the murderer has been found." Bella pointed at Reictor, "That's you, Mr. Reicter Webster."

A subtle hint of nervousness flashed in Rechett's eyes.

"Oh? Interesting......" Rector put his sword back into its sheath, "Why do you assert that?"

"Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Let's start with Mr. Terrance's body." Bella said unhurriedly, "First, we examined Mr. Terrance's body. The most obvious feature is that the heart is pierced by a wand, and it is his own wand. The cause of death was heart damage. Other than that, no other significant trauma was found. In other words, Mr. Terrance should have been killed with a single blow."

"So, the murderer's strength should be above him, right?" "I'm no match for him. And snatch the wand from his hand."

"That's what we thought at first. I feel that Mr. Terrance is a high-level archmage, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. Under normal circumstances, if you want to be able to kill with one hit, you need to have an overwhelming advantage in strength, otherwise, Mr. Terrance will not even have a chance to resist."

"The murderer is at least the archmage, right?"

"Not necessarily. As I just said, that's under normal circumstances, that is, the premise of having a fair fight. But what if Terrance himself was defenseless and unable to even fight back?"

Hearing this, Recht's hand involuntarily clenched the saber at his waist.

"In the beginning, I was thinking about two things. The first is how the other party did to Mr. Terrance. In terms of strength alone, there are few people on the entire European continent who can beat Mr. Terrance. And the spell that is best at assassination is Mr. Terrance's own best magic. In short, no one could have killed him so directly through magic. The second is why the prisoner used his wand as a murder weapon, and it was Mr. Terrance's wand."

"Anyway, the murderer should be a very powerful mage, right?"

"yes, maybe that's what the murderer was for." Bella said, "That's what the killer did to make us think so."

"I don't understand what you mean, if you want to outperform Terrence Segovia in terms of strength, then you must at least reach the level of the Grand Magus. I don't know I'm that high."

"However, if you want to kill someone, you don't have to outperform them in strength, do you?" Bella spread her hands.
