I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Zhenna began to carefully read the contents of the contract.

As a paladin, she practiced the Holy Light Art, and also specialized in the black magic of the abyss, including the devil's contract.

Any form of contract magic is a major prerequisite for binding the contractor, that is, the contract signer must be aware of the content of the contract and actively choose to accept the contract in a conscious state.

Even the devil's contract full of traps can only take effect after the contracter understands the basic meaning of the letter and voluntarily signs it.

In terms of content, the possibility of traps in this contract is very low, and its content is actually very simple and clear.

Just being able to terminate the contract independently has eliminated most of the risks.And the price for violating the contract is nothing more than the revocation of equivalent rights and the extraction of magic power.

The contract itself is not a problem, but whether to sign this contract means a watershed for her in the future:

Did he agree to stay and live with the red dragon and fight side by side?

Or leave here to find their own way out and fight on their own?
She believed in Heinrich's advice before his death, and the way of exterminating her was in line with the imperial sister's style. The imperial sister probably had already made a plan to inherit the throne. Since the other party was determined to get rid of her, returning to the empire would be suicide.

Right now she has nowhere to go, if she leaves, she can only die in exile, but staying may not be the best choice for her.

The task of slaying the dragon was assigned by Huang Jie behind her back, and she knew the whole picture of the assassination plan.

Heinrich did not go back to report, and she could easily find out which link had gone wrong.

If she didn't intend to stop there, it would only be a matter of time before this tower became a target.

If you choose to stay here, you can get the support of the Red Dragon and this mage tower in terms of combat power, but compared to fleeing alone, the probability of confronting the pursuers will be greatly increased.

However, the red dragon also saved his life, so leaving in a debt of favor is really not like what a paladin should do.

Seeing Zhenna's hesitant expression, Li Yuan said, "Don't rush to make a decision, just stay and think about it slowly. Right now, we should still have some time."

The dragon slaying team was completely wiped out, and the empire should have noticed something was wrong after some time had passed and no one had returned to report.

It can be said that they killed all the knights, and bought some time for themselves.

Of course Li Yuan hopes that Zhenna can stay, but if Zhenna insists on leaving in the end, he can only respect the other party's opinion, and it is meaningless to force the other party to stay.

Even if he ruthlessly forced her to sign the "Prisoner's Contract" by force, Zhenna would most likely fight to the death, not to mention that they had fought side by side once, and he didn't want to do such a wicked thing.

"Why don't I show you the guest room first?" Shito suddenly suggested, "Guest, you are a believer blessed by the Sun God, right?"

Zhenna froze for a moment, then nodded: "I am indeed a paladin."

The holy light that the paladins believe in comes from the sun, and the god praised by the paladins as the "Supreme Light" is actually the sun god in ancient times.

But since a long time ago, the gods have never appeared incarnate in front of people, or conveyed their will.

Some theologians even believe that the gods are actually dead.

The various artifacts that survived today, and the power used by believers of various professions, are nothing but the legacy left by the gods in the world, or even wreckage.

Belief in the gods is still passed down in the world.But unknowingly, the distance between gods and humans has become farther and farther. Today's believers seldom call gods by their own names directly, but are more used to referring to them by some honorary titles.

When the golem spoke of the sun god, Zhenna, who was a paladin, didn't react for a moment.

"Actually, on the fifth floor of this tower, there happens to be a temple dedicated to the Sun God. The rooms there should be very suitable for you to stay in. Why don't I take you to visit first?" Stone suggested respectfully.

"This..." Zhen Na looked back and forth at Li Yuan and Shi Shi.

"Go and have a look, it's up to you to decide whether you can stay or not." Li Yuan also persuaded.

"Then I'll take a look." Zhen Na could only accept the hospitality first.

"Then let's go." Li Yuan stood up.

"You two, please follow me." Stone took a torch and lit it, and moved to the door of the restaurant.

Li Yuan and Zhen Na followed the stone up the steps, all the way to the fifth floor of the tower, and what they saw was a dark hall.

Shi Shi suddenly picked up the torch and waved it twice, and the lampstands arranged around the hall suddenly ignited by themselves, illuminating the place brightly.

It was the first time for Li Yuan to come here, and Helganon's huge size could not enter the stairwell, and at the same time, he disdain to transform into a human form.

In the past, he only peeked into the interior of the upper floors from the windows outside the tower, and after he was convinced that there was no treasure of interest in these floors, he ignored them, and only moved in the lobby and cellar on the first floor that was spacious enough.

In the center of the fifth floor of the tower is a resplendent temple, with a huge sun carved on the wall with exquisite craftsmanship, and angels with wings flock to the sun like moths to a flame, flying around the sun.

The temple is almost empty except for an altar in the center.

Zhenna found that the scale of the temple was larger than she had imagined, even surpassing the Holy Church in the Imperial City.

This temple should have a very high status in the belief of the sun god in its corresponding era. If the bishops and theologians of the holy religion knew about this place, they would definitely organize a group to come here for archaeology.

"Could it be that this place was built by ancient paladins and bishops?" Zhenna turned to the stone and asked.

"Unfortunately, I can't find relevant information at the moment. However, it is not only believers of the Sun God who built the Endless Tower. On other floors, there are temples dedicated to other gods, such as the temple of the 'Creator' downstairs." Stone replied.

Creator, isn't that the main god that mages believe in?

Zhenna was a little surprised. Each floor of this tower was dedicated to different gods, which meant that believers of different beliefs had gathered in this tower in the past.

You must know that in the ancient times when the gods fought against each other, the relationship between believers of different main gods was not very good, and some sects still had an endless relationship.
"What year was it built here?" Zhenna asked curiously.

"Unfortunately, I can't get relevant information at the moment." Stone replied in a mechanical voice.

Zhen Na looked at Li Yuan again, and Li Yuan shook his head at her, but he didn't say whether he didn't know, or that it wasn't something Zhen Na should know now.

He was not as confused as Zhenna, because Helganon didn't have much knowledge about theology, and he didn't know how incredible it was for a tower to enshrine multiple main gods.

But he could feel that the background of the tower he had inherited seemed more complicated than he had imagined at first.

"Guest, if you finished watching the part of the temple, you can go inside and visit the living room." Shito stretched out his hand towards the corridor on the inner side.
