BOOM.
RUMBLE...
After the scorching heat of June and early July, a storm that had been brewing for days finally burst forth in a torrential downpour.
The oppressive heat that had suffocated Shu State City was instantly extinguished by the rain. Even the residual warmth lingering on the stone slabs quickly dissipated.
A cool, comfortable breeze allowed the city's residents to finally slow their pace.
Even the laborers who had toiled all day and the government officials and City Guard Army soldiers who had run about tirelessly could now stroll through the streets and alleys with ease.
However, under the heavy rain, many craftsmen trying to make a living found it difficult to smile.
After all, no one was going to watch someone break a stone slab on their chest in a downpour.
Wudong Street, just outside the East Market, at the Jishi Medicine Hall.
The Medicine Hall, which had managed to revive its business thanks to Hundred Herbs Hall's tea drinks, was now filled with people.
