"Impressive? Me?" ALulu wasn't accustomed to such praise.
Zoe drew the Wind Breath Sword, intending to hand it to the young girl, but hesitated.
"What do you want to do?" Li Ang asked her.
"I want to see if she can break it, but I'm a bit reluctant."
"Stop messing around," Li Angxian lightly tapped Zoe. "It's impossible to break it. She's probably only used equipment below the Transcendent Realm before."
"Isn't the Theocracy supposed to be capable? How come their equipment is so poor?" Dorothy didn't understand.
"Those who leave their homeland to preach are usually the elites, and their organizational structure is different from ordinary forces."
Li Ang explained that the Wotam Church Country's main island was vast, with a large population, and the members of the Defender Knights Order came from a wide range of believers.
Each church can recruit potential individuals to become Low Tier Guardian Knights. These individuals form organizations centered around a church, train themselves, hunt Demons, and spread their teachings off the island.
Each year, the capital of the Theocracy, "Divine Throne City," sends out people to tour the churches, recruiting outstanding knights into the Central Knight Order. Only then can they truly engage in formal military and commercial activities, receiving finely crafted military equipment from taxes and gifts from believers worldwide.
Li Ang asked ALulu, "You previously mentioned it was for your teacher. He's the presiding Priest of a church, and your companions were all baptized by him to become Defender Knights?"
ALulu nodded.
"So your equipment wasn't distributed by the higher-ups of the Knights Order, right?"
ALulu said, "All of it was crafted by blacksmiths from nearby villages after we mined the materials."
Indeed, Li Ang nodded, "In that case, it might not even be Tier Two."
"I see."
Zoe nodded repeatedly, proudly saying, "We have Li Ang to craft our equipment, so we never worry about it. We just kill Demons to collect materials."
The chestnut-haired girl pointed at the sled next to the dining table and said, "That will be made into a pile of Tier Three Equipment. We're going to craft some Transcendent Realm items this time at the Flashing Field."
"That's wonderful." ALulu sighed.
Li Ang held Zoe's head, "You might want to say less."
The young girl was about to rebut but noticed the pink-haired girl's downcast expression, her pupils shrinking as she realized she had said something wrong.
"Sorry," Zoe hurriedly apologized.
ALulu shook her head, "Don't mind. The Goddess's will is for rigorous training. Before my body and mind match it, excellent equipment might actually lead me astray."
Li Ang thought, these teachings and precepts, speaking optimistically, are to train the believers, but pessimistically, it could be an excuse for a lack of resources to make people self-soothe.
ALulu bowed her head and said, "I also have a problem. I often forget there are people around me in battle, charging recklessly. They say they have to work extra hard to avoid me."
That's indeed her own issue, though...
Because it was too hot, Li Ang took off his Divine Eye Helmet and now put it back on to observe the young girl closely.
"How is it? Did you notice anything?" Dorothy asked.
Previously on the ship, she asked Li Ang why he always wore this ugly helmet. He explained that it enhanced his witch abilities and allowed for precise spiritual adjustments. She pestered him to adjust her spirituality for weight loss but ultimately dropped it after hearing "You're already very beautiful as you are."
The spirituality of intelligent races is complex, especially those with potential and talent. Li Ang had sensed Zoe and Dorothy's special spirituality even before having the helmet.
ALulu was remarkable, with muscle strength and body vitality at a surprisingly high level. But when they were too active, there was no energy allocation for the brain, so the spirituality of thought naturally became inactive.
Li Ang explained the reason, ALulu listened intently but her eyes were still filled with doubt.
"Simply put, you need to eat more, grow your body well, and once you nourish yourself adequately, you will have enough energy to fuel your brain during battles."
Her Power God Bloodline was indeed strong, prioritizing brute force, even at the expense of thought.
Nebis doesn't have an external brain device or something like that, you can't abandon thinking.
However, Li Ang still thought it was a bit strange. Even if her companions were limited in hardware, strength, and knowledge, it shouldn't have made them think she only had a detrimental effect in battle.
Even if they couldn't provide a decent piece of armor, her muscle and bone strength made her not easy to injure severely. Unless they thought letting a little girl fight would harm their reputation.
Zoe was delighted and pushed food towards ALulu: "Go on, keep going."
The little girl was like a bottomless pit, and the dishes piled higher and higher in front of her.
When she wanted to add more dishes, the owner said the kitchen was out of ingredients.
"We'll have to stop here then."
"Well, thank you... For finally having a full meal."
Is that what you call being full?
The three of them looked at the stack of dishes reaching the ceiling, though the inn's ceiling was quite low, it was still quite outrageous.
Am I feeding a Saiyan? Li Ang pondered.
On further thought, ALulu didn't seem to have anyone looking after her.
If Li Ang had the choice, he wouldn't have her follow the Paladin's path. Being a Warrior would suffice, then transition to a Shielder Knight, or even the special Berserker path would work.
He couldn't understand how she advanced the Paladin training to Tier Three. Wouldn't her naive understanding of the teachings and precepts displease the Goddess?
However, if her Divine Power was strong enough to crush others numerically, then professional skills could be developed slowly. Equipping her with Divine Armor could surpass the average frontline.
