<h4>Chapter 1104: Rain</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Lam_ <strong>Editor: </strong>Hitesh_
In a vige somewhere...
This was a ce where mortals resided.
On the surface of the ocean, the cool ocean breeze gusted gently as a figurey there. Covered by seaweed from head to toe, he was just there to have the seawaters p against his body as it wished.
Wave after another...
No one knew if this person had died.
But, that figure moved all of a sudden! Slowly, he stood up from the beach. However, after taking a single step, he copsed into a fall before picking himself up once more and heading over into the distance gradually.
In the vige, billows of smoke were spouting out of the chimneys of the houses there. Every single household was just that peaceful.
At the entrance of the vige, children were surrounding a strange person.
“It’s the Seaweed Monster...!”
“Hurry up and hit the Seaweed Monster! He’s walking toward us now!”
This group of children was holding on to tree branches that were only as thick as their thumbs.
Creak!
When those tree branches made contact with the figure, it was as though they were repelled away by some form of power as they snapped apart immediately.
Seeing a situation as such, those children broke out into sad boohoos as they ran back into the vige. They wanted to tell the adults that someone had bullied them.
When the vigers rushed over to the entrance and caught sight of that strange figure, all of them froze up. They did not know what sort of a being this was, but he gave off a strange feeling.
“What are you? We’re only an extremely normal vige here...!” A bold and muscr young man gripped a tool tightly in his hands while asking out nervously.
There was no reply.
However, everyone could sense that this person before them was extremely dangerous. No one would dare to get on the wrong side of him.
They knew that there were Immortals in this world; they had once caught sight of Immortals flying up in the sky above their vige. However, it did not cross any of their minds that this could be an Immortal.
Thud!
Suddenly, the vigers saw the person before them wobbling unsteadily before copsing over onto the ground as though he had just died.
A long timeter...
The vigers were still standing there without making any moves. It was as though they were waiting for something. Not knowing just who in the world this person before them was, all of them felt extremely afraid.
At this moment, an elderly man clutching onto a walking stick wobbled over. He looked at that person draped in seaweed from head to toe and deliberated for a short while.
All the surrounding vigers were waiting patiently, as though they were waiting for this elderly man to speak up.
“Carry him into the vige.” The elderly man croaked with a hoarse voice.
All the young men in the vige nodded their heads. They then approached the person carefully to have him carried into the vige.
...
Within a house...
The vigers were surrounding the entire ce outside. Some of them tiptoed while others snuck in secretly — everyone just wanted to catch a sight of who this strange person really was, or what he was up to.
Why would he just arrive at the vige entrance, standing there for no reason before fainting over?
When the doctor of the vige caught sight of the situation of the body of this mysterious man, all of the curiously observing vigers heaved in a deep, cold breath.
Terrifying!
Some of the children were even shocked into tears.
At the area of his chest was a deep wound that had prated all the way through. In fact, they could even make out that beating heart within his body! However, the mysterious thing was that there wasn’t even a single drop of blood flowing out at all!
“Just what sort of a person is he? How could he still be alive after sustaining such a grave injury?” The doctor from the vige gasped out in astonishment. His chest wasn’t the only ce that was prated; there were signs of injuries on other parts of his body. Given such a grave injury, if it were any of them in the same situation, they would have long died.
The elderly Vige Chief turned around to the people outside and said, “Bring the children away first.”
Since the Vige Chief hadmanded, all the men in the vige would naturally not defy his orders. They then brought their children away.
“Just try your best.” The elderly man told the doctor.
The elderly doctor nodded his head. This was the first time he wasing across an injury as such. And even if he had seen something simr, none of them were like this man, whose heart was still beating and breath running.
From time to time, the men in the vige would go out and hunt for some beasts out in the wild; they too would get injured. If they had an injury as such, they would have died long ago.
Soon, everyone dispersed from the area
The doctor was boiling some medicine and preparing to treat this mysterious man.
It wasn’t that the Vige Chief had not considered the fact that someone like this might be a bad person. But, when he looked at the appearance of this man, he looked rather young in age, and didn’t seem like a bad person at all. At the same time, they were all kind hearted souls, and could not just sit by idly. Therefore, they could only try their best for him.
A few dayster...
The doctor woulde by thrice a day to check on the situation of this young man. He could not help but feel astonished over how strong of a lifeforce this young man possessed. He had way too much tenacity and grit! And when he smeared some medicine over this person’s wounds, they would dry up without any time!
When they fed him porridge, they could even witness how the porridge dissipated out the moment it entered his body!
This man was simply way too mystifying!
The vigers had just been discussing about this mysterious man the entire time. The appearance of this mysterious young man had caused everyone in the vige to feel extremely curious. They were even talking about him when they were out in the fields farming.
Yet another few dayster...On a path out in the fields...
A young man stood there nkly as though he was despondent while looking at the vigers go about their farming.
“Seaweed...!”
The children who were skipping all around the muddy fields surrounded this mysterious young man while chirping out cheerily.
That was the name of the young man. No one in the vige knew who this young man was, or what he was called. Therefore, they decided to just name him Seaweed then.
The reason was that he was covered in seaweed from head to toe when the vigers first caught sight of him.
At the start, all the men of the vige were rather fearful toward this young man. Butter on, they discovered that this young man didn’t seem as though he could really speak. At the same time, he seemed rather dim-witted. Even if they shouted out at him, he would only turn around gently and look at them.
Not only that, that look of his waspletely lifeless, as though his soul had been sucked out of him.
At the same time, that gaping wound at his chest was still ever so prominent. It would even emit some ck smoke from time to time, looking extremely scary.
“Seaweed, why can’t you speak at all?” A small little girl wearing pink clothes and two pigtails on her head hopped around happily while looking up at Seaweed, seeming rather perplexed over this person.
“Seaweed doesn’t know how to speak. He only knows how to sleep.” Another child replied.
...
Yet another few days went by...
By now, the vigers were long used to this young man. At the same time, they felt that this young man was extremely strange. That was because the young man would often head out to stand in the courtyard while raising his head to look up into the sky. Every single time he did that, he would continue standing all the way till night-time, without feeling sleepy at all.
In fact, he didn’t even know how to eat. His mouth would only open up when someone brought food over to his mouth.
That day...
The vige was conducting a ritual.
Because this was the drought season, all of the nts in the fields were nearly dying now. Even though they could head out to other ces to look for more sources of water, all of those ces were dozens of miles away, which was really far for them. At the same time, the journey would be fraught with dangers. This was something that posed an extreme difficulty for the vigers.
Somewhere not too far from the vige, there were vigers kneeling down and bowing to pray to a sculpture that was made out of mud.
“Please bless us with wind and rain.”
“Rain...!”
“Rain...!”
The young man stood there, taking everything that was happening into his eyes. Suddenly, his gaze shed out with a glint for a brief moment before disappearing once more.
That mouth of his that had never once taken the initiative to open on its own started moving out, as though he was being moved by the chants of the vigers.
“Rain...!”
The moment his mouth opened, the entire sky started to howl with a gust. That initially scorching sky was covered by a dark cloud right away.
There was no thunder.
No warning signs.
Nothing.
A downpour just descended upon them immediately.
When the vigers caught sight of this, all of them were emotional.
“Rain is here! The rain is here...!”
