Finally Arriving

"And how much do you think it costs to get a charm from a priest or buy a blessed amulet?" Azalea asked with an amused smile. "Besides, you can't just walk up to a priest and ask for one. You'd either need to be a clergyman yourself or have the right connections for a priest to even consider giving you a charm."

"So much trouble just for a charm?" Lumien said, puzzled. "I thought they were sold cheaply and easily to the public."

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, since it's a Church, wouldn't it make sense for them to sell charms openly? It would help people feel more connected and strengthen their faith, right?"

Azalea chuckled. "You're thinking of something else entirely. Churches do sell charms and trinkets, but those are just souvenirs with no real power. What I'm talking about are true charms, personally blessed by priests and infused with divine energy. They aren't sold to the public because the power inside them can be dangerous for civilians."
