Chapter 341: The Assumption

The pouring rain from the sky rushed downwards like a waterfall, separating the people in the banqueting house from the outside world. At the moment, many of the sorcerers felt a little lost, as if they had been abandoned by the real world.

”The rain in the Month of Fire is always unexpected.” In the banqueting house, Drummond stared at the pouring rain outside of the window with a glass of wine in his hand.

Staring at the darkness outside and hearing Drummond's words, Isabella smiled. ”The power of mother nature is always much more powerful than magic. Only the legendary archmages could have the power to control the weather in such a large-scale.”

”Flashes of lightning and thundering will all end, just like the barriers we face. The ancient magic theories and the powerful and horrible church will all fade away or be conquered by arcana and magic. Destiny is like a huge wheel rolling forward. Whatever stays in its way will be ground down completely. What is out of date will for sure be abandoned. I like the world after the rain since all the things can be washed clean… like a new world,” said Drummond rather confidently.

The heavy rain continued outside.

...

Thunder and lightning controlled the sky above Allyn within only a short period of time.

It was totally out of Lucien's expectation that the fury from the grand arcanist could lead to such a sudden and horrible weather change. Lucien felt a pressure so great that he was even having a difficult time breathing.

”The world is discontinuous? The world is discontinuous!?” Fernando's growls were even louder and more violent than the roaring thunders outside. ”But this is only an assumption!”

Facing the storm, Lucien did not yield. Instead, Lucien answered slowly but firmly, ”But currently this is the only possible assumption.”

Rumbling… The thunders went crazy. There were streaks of lightning in Fernando's eyes.

”The only assumption? How dare you say that you've excluded all the other possibilities? How dare you?!”

Lucien's black eyes were as deep as a lake. He answered calmly:

”Our recent experiments have excluded all the possibilities of other explanations. Also, currently we have nothing as the evidence to reject this assumption.”

Fernando and Lucien did all the experiments together. In Fernando's mind, he was speechless. However, he still yelled:

”You want the evidence? This whole world is the evidence!”

Lucien smiled, and his smile was gentle and soft, ”Sir, the nature of the world is always a mystery. What we see, hear and feel is always limited, just like the fact that the world in the common arcanists' eyes and in the grand arcanists' eyes are always different. Before we find another explanation, we have to accept the assumption for now. Sir, you once told me that our past experience and knowledge could also be our barrier.”

Hearing that, Fernando fell into silence. The Lord of Storm stood there quietly. The wind around him whipped his bright red robe. After a long time, the lightning disappeared in his eyes, and so did the storm outside.

”This is just a temporary assumption. I'll continue to work on it and seek other explanations.” Fernando slightly sighed, and his voice sounded a bit tired.

”Are you alright, sir?” asked Lucien concernedly.
