Sir Trivalti let his gaze wander still with chin held high. "Quite the contrary is true on both accounts. For armor, wearing anything imbued with magic other than Holy Energy makes one a prime target for magical monsters to cast spells and curses on your metal cage. From what I've seen it can even turn the armor into a monster while a knight is wearing it. Even after I burned the armor off of his body he was left as stark as the day he was born, it made quite efficient bait as all monsters forced on capturing him from then on, though not a practice I would let my companions go through again."

Turning to Lyle the gilded knight tapped the manual. "This book is outdated. The threat we face today is far more dangerous. Monsters don't look half as intimidating anymore as they did before I was born. Nowadays they tend to look like breathtaking women instead of the beasts they are. Any of them could be mistaken for a human woman if you are dumb enough not to recognize several features. They speak of sexual contact, but deep inside they are still the human-herding scum from the old days. Driving us in their embrace to use us as cattle, this I have confirmed myself. Maybe once we are underway on a calm bit of sea, I'll tell you about one of those examples."

He brushed his gantlet through his hair again with a sigh. "As for your tasks as a squire.. You can let the task of cleaning my armor to myself, I can't be risked to get lazy just because another offers his services." He placed a hand on Lyle's shoulder. "Don't talk lowly of the position of squire. All knights have been one at the start, it is simply a step to knighthood where you learn pride and passion through labor. And besides, you in particular are the squire of a knight with the Chiefgodess's blessing."

"But a paladin.. If you swear loyalty to god you may transcend knighthood and become a paladin. It is a good title I'm sure, but make sure to learn more than just what is in their manuals, for some of the outdated information can stab you from the back if it leaves you unprepared."
