Work Prophet

Chapter 42: A Holy Artifact That Even the Gods Tremble Before



Ireya looked at the whip, golden cup, and bronze box in front of her, somewhat puzzled. She asked the young noble named El before her, "What did you say these are?"

"These are the Three Holy Artifacts of the Thorny Church, and they are a congratulatory gift from my father for you becoming queen."

"The Thorny Church?"

"Yes, oh, it's the largest sect in Elk Valley, both in the past and now."

"And in the future?"

"In the future, it belongs to Saturday, it belongs to you," El said.

Miss Rabbit raised an eyebrow, "Does Tristan intend to use these things to lull me into complacency, to buy more time for him to seek reinforcements?"

"No, if that were the case, my father wouldn't have sent my sister and me here; we are his only offspring, the future of the family."

El paused for a moment, then continued, "Father actually wanted to come himself, but he was worried that if the news leaked, someone would target Elk Valley, so he stayed at the Deer Horn Gate. He will guard that land for you until your army arrives.

"And my sister Genaril and I will stay by your side to serve you. If possible, we also wish to convert to Saturday."

Miss Rabbit was surprised and said, "Is Tristan serious?"

"Father had a clash with you a year ago, and since returning, he has been telling us that if you wish to become the queen of this continent, no one can stop you."

"I didn't know he held me in such high regard."

Ying Song spoke up at this time, "Forgive me for saying this, but your father's reputation in recent years isn't very good."

"In that case, you should believe that my father genuinely wants to align with Queen Ireya," El said.

"What are his conditions?" Miss Rabbit asked again.

"As you can see, my family has ruled Elk Valley for over a thousand years. We have high prestige among the people, so my father hopes that our family can continue to manage that land for you in the future."

"..."

Kaden noticed that after meeting the pair of siblings, Ireya kept a slight frown, so she stayed behind after everyone else left.

"You've just acquired Elk Valley, opening the way to attack the Red Plain without losing a single soldier, yet you seem troubled."

Ireya shook her head, "It's nothing, I just don't particularly like the Pangluosi Family's style."

"Depending on the strong is indeed the way most people in this world survive."

"But Tristan is not an ordinary person, and the Pangluosi Family is not just any family. They are one of the Twelve Great Nobles of the Empire, once a presence I could only look up to. Miss Rabbit said.

"In the end, they first betrayed the Empire, and now they have betrayed Conley and those Winged Clan. Maybe Tristan truly wants to join us now, but how can I guarantee that he won't betray us in the future?"

"If you're worried about this matter, you don't have to," Kaden said respectfully, stepping in front of the young woman.

"Because you are the Divine Chosen King, under the protection of Saturday and with the help of Prophet Merlin, no one on this continent can rival you. As long as Tristan is smart, he will absolutely not betray you again.

"As for the Pangluosi Family, you needn't worry even more. They may have prestige in Elk Valley, but once the people there all become followers of the Double Rest Sect, you could simply command the Pangluosi Family to hand over their land."

The young woman's brows finally relaxed at Kaden's words.

Seeing that Ireya's mood had improved, Kaden took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, during this time, the Prophet has summoned another batch of servants from the Divine Country. I'd like to introduce some of them to you.

"With the Holy Artifacts recently delivered, they can help you expedite the war effort and more easily defeat your opponents."

Miss Rabbit also showed interest at his words, "Oh, new arrivals? Rare War Heroes? And the new Holy Artifacts, are those artifacts more powerful than the Italian Cannon?"

"The new Holy Artifacts are far more powerful than the Italian Cannon," Kaden replied, "they are mighty weapons that even the gods would tremble upon seeing."

"Is that so? Then I'd like to have a good look at them."

...

If the news of the Divine Chosen King's recovery of Golden Valley merely shocked and unsettled Allister, Claudio, and others, then what they felt after Tristan pledged allegiance to Ireya was terror.

It is said that upon receiving the news, Conley broke several tables and chairs with his sword and even accidentally injured an attendant.

He then barged into Lannita's residence and shouted at the Female Winged Clan, although half a day later, Conley sent someone to apologize to Lannita.

In the south, Claudio was also in a terrible mood. He was preparing for a banquet when he heard about the matter.

Ireya's recovery of Golden Valley gave him a sense of urgency. Among the four factions, his territory is the smallest, but the Second Son Alliance promised to try to convince the nobles of the New World to support him.

And it was nearly successful, as those noble families were sending emissaries to see Claudio.

Claudio needs to convince them that he is the best choice, but Ireya's aggressive expansion is on the verge of swallowing more than half of the continent.

The emissaries of the New World must also have other thoughts in mind, knowing that Crab's Corner still strictly belongs to the Arias Family.

Even if Claudio can convince them to continue supporting him tonight, he will have to pay a much higher price than expected.

In the north, Allister was similarly restless, as the Life Goddess he worshipped had lost to Saturday.

He had personally seen Valria cast curses to help him defeat the lords of New Moon Land, but this time, the curse did not work.

Cornelia told him she had sent three people to assist the Black Hand, but only one assassin returned alive.

Allister suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

As the youngest of the three kings, his current fame and status were almost entirely due to the strong support of the Life Church and Monteverde family.

Now it seems the Life Church's power is waning, leaving Allister quite at a loss, though Duke Schroder beside him remained as calm as ever.

He first rebuked Allister, telling him not to panic, then suggested to him, "Send emissaries, Your Majesty."

"Emissaries, to whom, Ireya? Are we to submit to her?"

"Of course not," Duke Schroder said, exasperated, "Reach out to your brother and Conley, we need to unite together."

"Conley? But didn't you say he was a puppet of those Winged Clan, and didn't they kill my father and elder brother? How can we cooperate with them?" Allister almost instinctively retorted.

"They have dragons, and two of them," Duke Schroder said calmly. "If you don't want to bow to that country girl from the west, you can't do without their help."
