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

Chapter 20 The Legendary Powerhouse

In the banquet restaurant, Li Yuan and Zhen Na sat at the same table as yesterday, enjoying the breakfast prepared by the stone.

The main course of breakfast on this day was still horse meat, and then some dry food brought by the knights and wild vegetables and mushrooms picked from the surrounding woods were added.

When the meal was almost over, Zhen Na put down the knife and fork, and cast her gaze at Li Yuan several times.

It took a while before she brought up the topic: "Speaking of which, what should I call you in the future?"

"What's your address?" Li Yuan stopped the hand that was stuffing the barbecue into his mouth.

"Although we named you Kuja, I still don't know your real name," Zhenna said.

"I don't care, I can call it whatever I want, even Kuja." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he continued to eat meat.

To him, the identity of the Red Dragon is almost for nothing, and he doesn't care what name others call him.

"Kuja is not a good name. The dragon should have a real name." Zhenna asked seriously.

The name Kuja has an evil impression full of derogatory meanings. Now Zhenna no longer treats the other party as an evil person, and does not want to use a derogatory name to call her benefactor.

"My real name is Helganon." Li Yuan thought for a while, "It's a bit of a mouthful, so you can call me Ganonen."

"Gannon..." Zhenna repeated thoughtfully.

Li Yuan finished the rest of the barbecue, and ordered Shi Shi to pack up the things.

"Now, I want to discuss with you our future policy." Li Yuan looked at Zhenna seriously and said.

"Target?" Zhenna blinked.

"Yeah, when your sister notices something is wrong, you may send someone again at any time. We can't sit still and take countermeasures in advance. I need more information from you." Li Yuan stared at Zhenna and said.

The biggest significance of letting Zhenna stay is not in Zhenna's own combat effectiveness, but in the information she possesses.

As a wild dragon, Helganon had little contact with the civilized world.

He basically didn't know much about the state of the empire, its political situation, or its military power. The only thing he knew was that the empire had a fortified fortress, which showed that the strength of this country was not something an adult dragon could easily provoke.

"What do you want to know?" Zhenna asked cautiously.

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well, let's make a hypothesis first. If your sister, Princess Frede, found out what happened here and made up her mind to get rid of us, what size of troops do you think she would send?"

Regarding the empire, he wanted to know a lot of information, but the most important thing for him right now was the possible means that Princess Frede would use.

Zhen Na opened her mouth and was about to answer, Li Yuan added another sentence: "Let's talk about it, I need to know an upper limit."

With Li Yuan's current strength, it is impossible to compete with a country.

But Princess Frede is unlikely to deal with an adult red dragon and a contender for the throne who poses no obvious threat to her, regardless of the cost. Her investment in this matter will definitely have an upper limit.

Li Yuan's goal is to let the defensive force here exceed the upper limit, as long as the opponent finds that it is "not cost-effective" to deal with them, the most basic self-protection conditions can be achieved.

Zhenna's expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuan noticed a difference in her expression.

"If Miss Huang really intends to be serious to that extent..." Zhen Na chose her words carefully, "I think it's better to give up here. No matter how important treasure is, it's not as important as life."

"Why are you talking about frustration? Let me tell you first, it is impossible to give up here, absolutely impossible!" Li Yuan replied seriously.

"Why are you so persistent?" Zhenna was a little puzzled.

Suddenly, she remembered the mystery of the tower and the fact that Ganon was the owner of the tower.

"Could it be that you are actually the guardian of these temples above?" Zhenna pointed to the temple upstairs.

"It's about the same. I can't tell you the specific situation, but I must protect this tower, even if it means risking my life." Li Yuan's eyes were extremely serious.

Naturally, it is inconvenient for him to disclose the secret of the symbiosis between the source magic circle and himself. This tower is basically equivalent to his life. If it is occupied by others, it means that his life is in the hands of others.

And Zhenna looked at him in surprise, and had another understanding in her heart.

This red dragon originally shouldered the mission of guardianship, and even risked his life for it?The evil dragon that is feared by the world actually has this level of piety and sense of responsibility!

At this moment, she actually saw a bit of the spirit of the paladin she admired in the red dragon, and the image of the red dragon in her heart suddenly became taller.

What's the matter with this woman?Li Yuan noticed a change in the way Zhenna stared at him.

"Why do you think we have to escape?" He brought the topic back on track. "Anyway, this is an assassination operation. She can't send a large army to kill you with great fanfare, can she?"

He estimated that at least in terms of scale, Princess Fred would not be too exaggerated.

Although political assassination is not uncommon, it is dirty work after all, and it is impossible to go to war. In the end, Princess Frede still has to explain Zhenna's death.

"There is no need for a large army..." Zhenna replied hesitantly, "Just one person is enough."

"Alone?" Li Yuan frowned.

"Beside the imperial sister, there is a knight commander who is loyal to her, named Lucio, Lucio of the Rift Valley. He is the head of the Dragon Head Knights of the Imperial City and a warrior of the legendary realm." Zhenna explained.

"Legendary strong?" Li Yuan frowned.

Even Helganon, who knows little about the civilized world, is aware of the concept of legendary powerhouses, and the names of some current legendary powerhouses will even be circulated among giant dragons.

Because of these strong men, even giant dragons have to be afraid of them.That is the limit that humanoids can achieve under normal circumstances. In many cases, the legendary powerhouses of various races in the entire continent can be counted on two fingers.

"Yes, he is only 30 years old, but he has already reached the pinnacle of what humans can achieve in terms of warrior profession. He is known as the ace of the empire, the king of knights. In addition..." Zhenna paused at this point, and continued cautiously, "He has also slaughtered dragons, and he has killed four in total. The highest record is leading a team to kill an ancient black dragon entrenched in the Night Shadow Swamp."

After listening to Li Yuan, cold sweat began to ooze from his body.

He has killed ancient dragons over 100 years old. He, an adult dragon over [-] years old, probably only deserves to be an experience pack in front of the opponent.The level at which an adult dragon can compete with the target is probably a god-given professional in an extraordinary realm, a legendary powerhouse... that is the combat power of an ancient dragon or even an ancient dragon.

"Would that kind of character be willing to do this kind of assassination?" Li Yuan tried to confirm.

Zhenna nodded: "It's not impossible. You must know that Lucio is completely loyal to the imperial sister, and has a marriage contract with the imperial sister."

The more Li Yuan listened, the more his scalp became numb. Having a marriage contract with Queen Fred meant that this guy's political interests were completely bound to Fred's.

Moreover, the powerful knight who has a marriage contract with the princess is also a dragon slaying hero, which is simply a template for a brave man.

The "brave" is a legendary strong man with the ability to kill ancient dragons, but he is just an adult dragon who is the "evil dragon". If this is a script, the balance will be too bad no matter how you say it.

　The setting of "Legendary Powerhouse" in this work is slightly different from DND. Under normal circumstances, humanoid creatures can reach the limit. There are probably only one or two people in a country, and their strength is comparable to ancient dragons or ancient dragons.

　　Adult dragons and adult dragons are compared to the next level of "extraordinary" realm
