454 Gloating (2/2)

Isabella nodded, her eyes glistening. ”Yes, an archmage has fallen. An archmage who once won the highest honor in the school of Electromagnetism, Light-darkness, and Thermodynamics has fallen. He was eliminated by the development of arcana and magic…”

”…” Rachel suddenly understood the cruelty of the world.

In front of her student, Isabella forced a smile on her face to cheer her up. ”Don't be afraid. Don't get lost. This is not something abnormal. When I was young, every once in a while, some particle theory supporters' head would explode. This is why there are now so few arcanists supporting the particle theory right now. You should feel lucky, Rachel, so should I, for we had the past three years to get prepared. The committee members who reviewed the papers of Mr. Brook and Mr. Lauren thus survived. They just need a few months to have their soul recover from the trauma.”

”I understand.” When she was in school, Rachel read about this piece of history. During that period of time, His Excellency Mr. Brook's outstanding talent was glowing and he managed to overthrow the particle theory of light. Stepping on blood and exploded heads, he finally ascended to the throne of grand arcanist and became the second top legendary in the congress. It was said that a close friend of Mr. Douglas, who was a member of the Highest Council and also a legendary archmage at that time, fell together with his demiplane.

But reading history from books and seeing it with her own eyes were two completely different stories. Rachel's heart was still palpitating from the horrible scene.

Seeing that her student's face still looked pale, Isabella walked to Rachel and gently stroked her hair, like a mom comforting her daughter. ”An era of progress is coming. In the past several decades when Mr. Brook brought the huge revolution to the Congress, we saw new leaders entering the stage — The two grand arcanists, Hellen and Vicente, as well as the other four legendary sorcerers. The power of the Congress of Magic almost doubled. Now we have more archmages and senior-rank mages than ever before. When I was young, the Congress only had about twenty archmages, but now we have sixty-two… sixty-one.”

”This is our chance,” said Isabella, ”keep it in mind. We shall never become blindly obsessed with our belief nor lose our faith. We must believe in facts.”

In the Radiance Church in Holm.

”Lauren, Lightning of Destruction, ranking no. 76 on the Cleansing List.” Vaharall read the list with a big smile on his face, ”Christal, Bloody Thunder, no. 269 on the Cleansing List… Oh, I wish that I could give Mr. Lucien Evans, our Professor, a Night Angel badge, in order to honor his great contribution to eliminating the vicious sorcerers!”

After spending a long time in Holm, Vaharall had learned the standard Holm Crown prize awarding speech and turned it into a joke.

Stone, the divine knight, also laughed hard. ”An archmage, three senior-rank sorcerers, twenty-seven middle-rank sorcerers… not to mention those whose cognitive worlds have gone broken and solidified! If Lucien Evans is willing to become a night watcher, he would definitely be in top five because of these numbers!”

There were only three legendaries in the Inquisition, and one of them was an ancient sorcerer who had converted, therefore, he was also in the ranking of the night watchers. The ancient sorcerer once killed a legendary ranking in the top 30 on the Cleansing List, and thus became the top night watcher. Although there were many senior-ranks in the team, no more than ten had reached the power of the ninth circle, even few had ever cleansed a level-nine arcanist and ninth-circle sorcerer like Lauren.

Philibell could not hold back his smile as well. This was the most wonderful news to him in the past ten years. To them, it did not matter at all whether light was wave or particle. There were pastors devoured by the holy light before when Brook proved that light was a type of electromagnetic wave, but it was because of the fact that the finding had deprived the divinity of light. As for the light quantum hypothesis, they were totally fine with it.

Rubbing his thick white beard, Philibell grinned.

”What a pity that Evans failed to explode Brook's head, or the Pope would have to give him the title of Saint. You two remember the time when some were saying that we should directly call Brook a Saint? Compared with Brook, Lucien Evans is still a bit behind, isn't he?”

Hearing the comment, Vaharall and Stone burst out loud laughter, gloating over their enemy's loss.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”It is said that Brook was also badly hurt by this. I wonder how does his cognitive world look like right now. If his cognitive world has gone broken and solidified, I have to say that this is the perfect arrangement of the God of Truth. So many years ago, he took away countless pastors' faithful hearts and destroyed many sorcerers' cognitive worlds. What goes around comes around,” said Philibell piously. He deeply believed in the existence of the God of Truth, more faithfully now than ever before.

”Only Truth lives forever.” Vaharall and Stone drew a cross in front of their chest together.

Then the three exchanged a look with each other and smiled again.

Philibell said humorously, ”shall we pray for 'Saint' Lucien Evans? Let's pray for his safety so he can carry on his glorious mission serving the Lord?”

...

”New… Al-che-my?” Fernando stressed each syllable of the title of Lucien's new paper. His scarlet eyes stared at the calm and composed Lucien alertly.
