The Iberian Peninsula is located at the westernmost point of continental Europe, and the Pyrenees are not currently served by rail. So the Carlos sisters and Elena need to take a boat to San Sebastian first.

After landing from the north, transfer to a train through the Cantabrian Mountains to the Meseta plateau. Segovira is located right on the banks of the Douro River.

"Why should I come along?" With her chin in her hands, Elena leaned against the window and complained to Bella, "I don't want to be with that statue."

Recalling her previous experience in Terescia, Elena couldn't keep her spirits up.

"Madame Isabel specifically mentioned in her letter that Mademoiselle Medici is also in Paris, so she is more than welcome to come with her." Bella, who was sitting across from her, was practicing the knitting technique she had just learned, "Looks like you're very welcome, Madame!"

"Huh." Elena pouted, "But I haven't really been to Castile, even if I'm here to travel."

That's right, just travel!

Bella smiled and continued to focus on the needlework in her hand.

The Iberian Peninsula has a very tortuous history.

First it was occupied by the Moors, then conquered by the Arabs, and finally won the Liberation War, and then fell into a protracted civil war. It was not until more than two hundred years ago that the marriage of Queen Isabella I of Castile to Fernando II of the Kingdom of Aragon laid the foundations for the unification of the Spanish Empire.

Although the Iberian Peninsula as a whole was now under the rule of the Spanish Empire, Castile and Aragon still enjoyed independent autonomy.

The Segovia family is located in the Castile region and is also related to the Kingdom of Aragon.

The natural geography has allowed generations of members of the Segovia family to devote themselves to the study of wind magic. At the same time, the rich cultural structure and complex ethnic issues also contributed to the progress of spells.

A spell is a type of magic that uses a curse to exert its influence. Unlike the mainstream elemental magic and summoning magic on the mainland, spells are often used for revenge and assassination due to their unique concealment and specificity for humans.

Generally speaking, head-to-head magic battles rely heavily on one's mana strength and casting proficiency to win. But those who use spells can succeed as long as they master the skills and achieve certain conditions.

In other words, it's like a dagger in the dark, which can hide out of people's sight and then take advantage of its unpreparedness to suddenly kill.

This is also known as curse killing.

Great for Assassins.

Therefore, other countries will be somewhat afraid of the Segovia family who are proficient in this way.

Because this spell can appear anywhere, it is difficult to guard against.

However, the heads of the Segovia family in the past generations have been very decent.

Perhaps because of their own strength, they disdain to take those shameful actions.

Of course, not all of them are deadly spells. Like in Valdraz before, Isabel used a charm to immobilize the impersonating Mr. Yuri, which was a relatively common one.

However, while powerful, this spell has limitations. If you want to cancel it because you need to meet certain conditions, you just need to break one of the conditions and the spell will not work.

Maybe that fake Yuri also took advantage of this to get out.

Terence Segovia is Isabel's older brother and the current head of the Segovia family.

But not long ago, he passed away suddenly.

That's why Isabel invited Bella.

"I think things might be a little troublesome." She finally said this in the letter.

Presumably, Bella's performance in Valdraz left a deep impression on Mrs. Isabel, so Mrs. Bella entrusted them to help this time.

- To investigate the cause of Terrance's death.

With the roar of steam, the train sped through the vast fields.

Through the glass windows, you can see the grasslands and mountains outside.

Anna was sleeping next to Bella. She was still the same as always, and she went to sleep after eating.

I'm afraid I can still eat when I wake up.

Bella was still busy with her work, and Elena was bored looking out the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the box.

"Excuse me." A young man, in his mid-twenties, wore a standard Spanish military uniform with the insignia of Aragon embroidered on his epaulettes.

He took off his hat, stood straight in the doorway, and asked politely, "Is there any room available here?"

Elena shifted to the window, motioning for him to sit down.

The young man bowed gratefully.

Although it is not the peak tourist season, there are still quite a few passengers on this train.

Because the car was from San Sebastian, there were more merchants who went to trade, and soldiers were rarer.

"Are you going to Zargovera too?" The young man asked.

"Hmm." Elena only answered briefly, but her eyes continued to look out the window.

"That's a coincidence, we just happened to be on our way." Murray smiled, looking very happy.

"Oh." Elena still hasn't looked back.

In fact, I was thinking in my heart, isn't this nonsense, can the same train be divided into two parts?

Bella was still leisurely knitting her sweater. From time to time, Anna "chirps" twice in her dreams.

The man tried several more times to open the conversation, but all failed.

Elena is always lukewarm, and responds with a pair and a match.

About half an hour later, gunshots suddenly rang out outside,

Then there was a rush of footsteps in the hallway.

"Stop!" A young man's voice.

But the footsteps didn't stop.

Then "bang——!" There was another gunshot, accompanied by the sound of metal clashing.

"Damn, missed again."

Another rush of footsteps passed by the door of the box of Bella and the others.

Then after a few more minutes, there was a commotion outside.

A middle-aged police officer in uniform knocked on the box of Bella's people.

"Excuse me." The other party apologized first, "Trouble—"

Just as he wanted to continue to say something, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the man in military uniform next to him.

"Could it be that you...... Lieutenant Murray?"

"Hello." Murray just nodded politely, "Is there anything please?"

"I didn't expect you to be here, it's great!" The middle-aged police officer seemed to have seen a savior, "There was a case just now, if you don't bother it, can you help solve it?"

"I...... Just a passenger."

"I've often seen you in the newspapers! At a young age, he rose to the rank of lieutenant and once independently cracked more than a dozen smuggling cases. With his ingenuity, he solved the theft in Barcelona alone." The more the police officer spoke, the more excited he became, "I'm a fan of yours!"

Does this young officer have such a big background?

Bella couldn't help but stop what she was doing, and Elena also turned her head to look at them with a little surprise.

Even Anna was awakened by the commotion beside her, rubbing her eyes with her fleshy little hands, and staring blankly at the scene in front of her.

"Huh? Have you arrived at the station?" Anna looked at her sister and Elena, and then at the two strangers next to her.
