Work Prophet

Chapter 18: This Is Not Magic, It's Physics



Ireya effortlessly picked up the iron hammer on the table under everyone's gaze, then slowly raised it above her head.

The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then the hall erupted in cheers.

"King! We have a new king!"

"Lady Ireya is the one chosen by our master, destined to reign over this continent!!!"

"This is the decree of Saturday; no one can defy it!!!"

"She will lead us to victory in this war!"

"......"

The nobles in the hall witnessed a miracle firsthand, leaving them without any doubts about Ireya being chosen by Saturday as the new king, especially those who personally attempted to pick up the hammer and failed. They were utterly convinced now.

The hammer that none could lift was effortlessly picked up by Ireya, and aside from fate, there seemed to be no other explanation.

Kaden also came to the hall today. As a linguistic genius, she passed the T3 level exam of the Continental Universal Language designed by the Double Rest Sect in just a month.

This means she can now communicate fluently with the locals.

However, as one of the transmigrators, she still sat with other transmigrators.

Kaden, surprised seeing Ireya lift the hammer, whispered to Ge Lipeng beside her, "How was this magic done?"

Ge Lipeng replied, "It's not magic, it's physics. The hammer contains an electromagnet, which, when activated, firmly attaches to the iron table."

"Why can Ireya lift it then?"

"Because when constructing this hammer, I included a capacitive switch and fingerprint unlock. With fingerprint recognition, the switch can be controlled to cut the power, ensuring only Ireya can lift the hammer."

Kaden was enlightened, "It's actually so simple."

"That's physics for you; understanding the underlying principles makes the phenomena no longer seem strange."

While the two were talking, the cheers grew quieter.

Ireya stepped forward two more steps, arriving before Li Yu.

Their eyes met, and Li Yu's deep gaze, like a galaxy, dispelled the girl's tension. She extended her left hand, making the special gesture used for prayer in the Double Rest Sect.

She then said aloud, "I, Ireya, daughter of Blood-eye Ruse, family head of the Arias family, Lord of the western territory, Dragon Slayer Knight, Divine Chosen King of Bratis Continent, devout follower of Saturday, hereby swear.

"I will forever abide by the commandments of the Double Rest Sect, protect the Church, follow the guidance of Prophet Merlin and our master Saturday, and rescue all the subjects in this continent suffering from war and unjust rule.

"I will establish a kingdom governed with mercy, justice, and wisdom, and so will my descendants and their descendants."

After saying this, she knelt on one knee.

Li Yu lightly tapped the girl's shoulder twice with the scepter in his hand, then said, "Saturday's glory will also be with you, protecting your blade from ever being broken by opponents, and keeping your people from suffering."

The Prophet of the Double Rest Sect finished speaking, took the dazzling crown from Clara behind him, and placed it on Ireya's head.

At the next moment, magnificent music sounded. Kaden felt a sense of familiarity, "Is this... the theme song from Game of Thrones?"

As the chief planner of the coronation ceremony, Lu Weijia proudly said, "Yes, I chose it, the symphonic version, it's quite fitting."

"But it does tend to remind me of crossover errors," Niu Xiangui commented, "I've followed Game of Thrones for ten years; whenever this song plays, I think of its messed-up ending."

"No worries, our new queen also has dragons, Mother of Dragons can ascend the throne in Bratis too," Lu Weijia said, "It fulfills everyone's dream of a Game of Thrones remake, and we're much steadier than Mother of Dragons and hardly likely to crash."

"Really?" Kaden curiously asked, "I heard Teacher Mary say there are already three people who have claimed kingship on the continent. Are we sure we can defeat them?"

"Of course." Niu Xiangui confidently asserted, "We now have a firearms team of three thousand and one hundred and twenty Italian cannon. We're able to move across this continent effortlessly."

"And we have dragons, advanced civilization from another universe," Liu Xuebin added, "I can't imagine how we could lose."

The topic of the upcoming war seemed to boost everyone's confidence.

Kaden seemed inspired by them too, showing a faint smile.

Following the coronation ceremony was a grand banquet celebrating the birth of the new queen.

People sang and danced at the banquet. The renowned Love and Honey Wine theater company performed their bestselling play "Death of the Demon Dragon" and their new work "The Lion and the Rabbit."

When Timothy saw the troop of Wing Tribe aggressively marching towards Lion Heart Castle, he fled from the Royal Capital with his theater company.

The mixed-blood Elf was also terrified by the Wing Tribe and the giant dragons, fleeing straight to the western territory.

Then they toured all around the western territory, as Timothy was determined to stay away from Green Field due to the previous forced additional act by Miss Rabbit, but little did he anticipate that the war soon spread to the western territory again.

When Lake City closed its gates, Timothy and his theater troupe were unfortunately locked inside.

Fortunately, Love and Honey Wine had a significant reputation, and the mixed-blood Elf was somewhat well-regarded by the nobles in the city, preventing them from starving in Lake City.

However, the troupe members and animals all went through significant weight loss until Ireya recovered Lake City, and they were saved.

But at that time, the western territory was still at war; they had nowhere else to go, and all their money was spent. Finally, thanks to past friendship, Miss Rabbit sheltered Timothy and his troupe.

The mixed-blood Elf no longer complained about the Lady trampling on art, grabbing the bread at hand with tears streaming down his face, seeing that the entire continent seemed safest only in the western territory.

After munching on bread, Timothy pleaded with Ireya to take them in.

It was a request, but from the mixed-blood Elf's perspective, given Love and Honey Wine's fame, the girl certainly had no reason to refuse.

To his surprise, Ireya hesitated for a moment, though she did agree in the end, the momentary hesitation left Timothy a bit concerned.

After repeated questioning by the theater troupe leader, Miss Rabbit told him the reason.

"I think the future lies with movies; your theater troupe isn't as appealing as movies."

"Movies, what are movies?" Timothy asked, puzzled.

So Miss Rabbit gave Timothy two movie tickets, sending him off to watch "Tom and Jerry."

After watching it, the mixed-blood Elf was profoundly shocked, and for several days appeared dazed, isolating himself in a room. The new play "The Lion and the Rabbit" was created under this stimulation.
