Yin Zidian

Is Magic really just a wish machine?
No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics.
This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic.
But what of it?
Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature.
Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician.
But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws.
The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason!
The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together.
Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic.
The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Where exactly does the legitimacy of the regime he wants to establish come from? Divine right? Might? The will of the people? This was the question that Winters agonized over.

"Among the enemies I have captured, those who have committed lesser crimes such as wounding during the levy process." Winters declared unequivocally: "Continue to serve your sentence."


"The rest of you! The rest of you mediocre evildoers! I am giving you the chance to regain your freedom, I will give you the chance to return to your families."


With a grand gesture, Winters had Samukin bring out a brazier with six branding irons inside it.
