August 1675
Akhand Bharatiya Empire, Vijayanagar State, Hampi
In a rural village, an old man, taking support from a young woman, got down from a luxurious Raya mobility carriage with difficulty. He walked forward, his legs a little resistant and needing a walking stick. He was even wearing thick lenses and looked worse for wear, but as soon as he saw the fields, a smile like that of an innocent child appeared on his face, which not only made his son standing right next to him smile with pride, it also made his daughter-in-law let out a sigh of relief.
In another village, a farmer who had not been to the farm for a long time due to his injured leg let out tears of joy as soon as he witnessed the lush green crops in the field. Without even caring about the dirt, he collapsed onto the ground, the rainwater splashing all over, and he kissed the ground with gratitude.
"You did... very good, my son," he said, his voice choked and trembling.
