Take Me to Church

“How may I help you, Master Ryan?” Priest Luke asked. “I am afraid that I cannot do a lot…”

“The bushels of barley with you,” Ryan said.

“Sorry?” Priest Luke blinked.

“How do villages, kingdoms, and churches work together, Priest Luke?” Ryan asked with a bright smile. “The kingdom and the church need to get along, and both of them watch over and protect its citizens and people, as well as instruct them. Hence why, there is also a contribution given to the church. The Chapel of Helian is the only one here, Priest Luke.”

“Yes, even though it is a little far away, we wish to be able to reach our word to everyone—”

“There is that, but the output of grain that Stonefall Village has is also nice.”

“It’s bad, Master Ryan,” Priest Luke frowned. “The bushel yields… the amount of barley grown always leave the people here a little starving during winter, Master Ryan. I have served here for a long time and know of it.”
