"Heinrich is a master-level paladin, and with the blessing of the 'barbarian' armor, his overall combat effectiveness should have reached the level of an extraordinary strong man. Theoretically, if the imperial sister wants to send someone again, it can only be

Someone stronger than him." Zhenna said.

Li Yuan naturally wants to know this. When considering this issue, it is best not to take any chances.

From now on, he must regard the legendary strong man of the empire as the imaginary enemy he will face in the future.

"Actually, I don't know much about the classification of human combat professions. Can you give me a brief explanation?" Li Yuan asked tentatively.

"People with god-given professions can be roughly divided into five growth realms, entry level, middle level, master, extraordinary and legendary. The biggest difference lies in the type, frequency and scale of abilities that can be used." Zhenna explained.

"There are only five realms? What about the divine realm?"

Li Yuan interrupted and asked. He remembered Shitou mentioned this level.

"God's Domain? Those kind of characters only exist in legends. They are the chosen ones, the chosen people appointed by God. After the extinction of the main god, there has been no strong person in the God's Domain for a long time." Zhenna shook her head.

Li Yuan glanced at Shitou, who was waiting silently on the side. According to Shitou, the symbiosis contract should enable the bound person to grow into a strong man in the divine realm as the tower is repaired.

But I'm afraid this is outside the scope of today's discussion.

"Okay, let's just talk about legends. How powerful are legendary experts?" Li Yuan then asked.

"A legendary powerhouse can use his full power more than seven times in a battle. As for the maximum power..." Zhenna thought about how to describe it, and then gave an example, "I have seen Lucio doing exercises.

At that time, he performed the 'God of War's Strike', and he split open a five-meter-high steel city gate with a thickness of three fingers' width with one sword, using only an iron sword."

"Then if the sword in his hand is good enough, wouldn't it be possible to chop off my head with one sword strike?" Li Yuan pointed to himself with a solemn expression.

"He does have a sub-artifact sword." Zhenna nodded.

"Could the situation be any worse?" Li Yuan already wanted to cover his face.

"Actually..." Zhenna added cautiously, "Like Heinrich, he also knows how to use steam armor."

"..." Li Yuan no longer knew what to say.

No wonder it can kill ancient dragons.

If this kind of monster comes to the door, how about starting over again in this life? He thought boredly.

But that’s just a thought, countermeasures still need to be considered.

"Jena, is it possible that people inside and outside the empire would be willing to provide you with assistance to contain Princess Fred's power?"

He looked at Zhenna seriously.

He is considering the possibility of recruiting foreign aid to help them fight against Princess Fred.

The first time her name was called by a red dragon, Zhenna didn't react for a moment.

"This...it cannot be said that there are no people who oppose the Imperial Sister. She is considered a relatively radical reformist in the country, and she advocates forming an alliance with the dwarves to develop mechanical technology, and at the same time abolishing the special status of the Holy Religion.

Therefore, many people who have interests tied to the religious order are against her, and the Papal State, which maintains an alliance with us, has also been protesting against the policies she pursues, but to be honest, these forces are basically hopeless."

"You are a Paladin, so you are also from the Holy Cult, right? If you claim that you have been assassinated, won't the Papal State be willing to protect you?" Li Yuan asked.

The Papal State is also an extremely powerful force on the mainland, and with the support of Heavenly Mountain, its influence is not inferior to that of the Dragon Spine Empire.

"I didn't have a choice. With Sister Huang's policies and opinions, people who opposed her naturally gathered around me, so I joined the Holy Cult and was trained as a Paladin. But the gap between me and Sister Huang was too big. When I get older, I probably won’t be that valuable to them anymore.”

Zhenna shook her head as she spoke,

"I'm afraid the Papal States don't want to get involved in the muddy waters within the empire. They have only been protesting all along. The emperor's sister also acts in a measured way. By just lowering the status of the church, the holy religion can still spread within the empire.

But if the Papal State tries to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire, it will probably irritate more than just the Imperial Sister, and it can easily lead to serious consequences without any benefits. After all, the possibility of me competing with the Imperial Sister is really slim."

Li Yuan was not particularly disappointed after hearing this, because he didn't have high hopes in the first place.

The fact that Zhenna chooses to stay here shows that she most likely has no more reliable means of political asylum.

After all, the fact that Princess Fred would make such a blatant assassination plan against Jeanne shows that the balance between them has tilted to a point where it is difficult to shake.

To put it bluntly, if there is really a political force that is willing to protect Zhenna, it is unlikely that it will be willing to have anything to do with him.

He is such a wild red dragon and wants to use a distressed princess with no political backing to interfere in the civilized world. It is simply a fantasy.

"It's a shame you lived long enough to meet me..." Li Yuan commented.

"The only person who has always restrained the imperial sister is probably my father. Five days ago, my father's condition worsened and he could only rest. He could no longer interfere with many things. I did not expect that the imperial sister would take action so decisively. …”

Zhenna's expression turned gloomy as she spoke.

She realized that she might never have the chance to see her father again.

Li Yuan continued to think, the political path was dead, so what about recruiting a group of mercenaries to guard the Endless Tower?

There are many miscellaneous forces in the wilderness in the northwest. Using the savings in the cellar, you may be able to recruit a sizable army, and you can also use hired soldiers to provide energy for the Endless Tower.

As soon as he imagined using the money in the cellar, Li Yuan felt his heart throb - he thought that this was the nature of the dragon at work again.

For the dragons, consuming their accumulated treasures is simply equivalent to cutting off their flesh.

Of course, if you can save your life, you still have to spend money.

But the question is, how reliable can ordinary mercenaries be?

If the situation is not right, they may abandon their armor and flee, or they may switch sides if the opponent offers better conditions.

For safety reasons, it was not easy for him to recruit unfamiliar helpers whose overall strength was much higher than his own, but how could he possibly be able to deal with the legendary strong man with that kind of weak soldiers and generals?

After thinking about it, Li Yuan found that the most reliable way to protect himself was to rely on this endless tower.

Now that the fifth floor of the Endless Tower has begun to operate, it is most practical to promote the repair of the Endless Tower for the Temple of the Sun.

So the most important thing for him now is to collect artifacts related to the Sun God!

Thinking of this, Li Yuan tried to ask Zhenna: "I said, do you know where there is an artifact? It would be best to have a high-level artifact with the power of the sun god."

This time, he also didn't hold out much hope that he could get such precious information by asking casually. How could there be such a good thing in the world?

But Zhenna's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"This..." Zhenna showed hesitation.

"Do you know what it is?" Li Yuan suddenly became energetic.

If Zhenna doesn't know anything, just say she doesn't know and get married.

Her reaction now seems to be that she is hesitating whether to say it or not.

"Speak quickly, this is very important to us now!" Li Yuan emphasized.
