Chapter 419: Wan Shi Tong's Library
Alexander continued his journey from there to the next village. Most of the Earth Kingdom looked desolate and poor. It seemed that the king in the capital wasn't doing his job correctly. All the farmlands he saw in his way were empty and even those that had something growing in were drying up.
The people looked sick and malnourished. The children's eyes looked hopeless. Even birds didn't appear in the sky during the day due to the heat. It was truly hell living there. Usually, these villages relied on the travelers but now, no one traveled thanks to the fire nation's attacks.
He saw many small villages and left lots of food everywhere he went. He also made rainfall in many villages who were hit by drought.
After traveling for a day, they appeared in a ghost town. "What happened here?" Zuko wondered loudly.
"People most probably migrated to the capital for refuge." Alexander guessed.
"Look, there is a horse carriage there," Zuko pointed.
"Hmm, let's check it. Maybe they need our help." Alexander decided and went out. Behind him, Zuko followed.
The closer they went they started hearing a song in an old man's voice.
