Dark clouds covered the sun, and a light drizzle continued unceasingly.
In the Land of Rain, more than 60% of the time was spent under rain, making the whole place extremely damp.
Whenever people talked about the Land of Rain, a few key words inevitably came to mind: dampness, poverty, war, and strong liquor.
The word “strong liquor” seemed a bit contradictory to poverty.
When people didn’t even have enough food to eat, how could they think about drinking alcohol? That was why common folk from other countries often looked down on the people of the Land of Rain.
In their eyes, the Rain Country villagers were always reeking of alcohol, dressed in ragged clothes, and gaunt from hunger.
The ragged clothes and gaunt faces did match the actual appearance of the Rain Country’s folks.
As for the drunkenness, that was simply beyond their control.
In such an unbearably damp environment, if they didn’t drink a proper amount of strong liquor regularly, their bodies would never hold up.
Diseases like rheumatism would come knocking sooner or later.
This drinking culture was one of the reasons behind the Land of Rain’s poverty.
