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...

Winters informed his companions about the proposal from Mont Blanc County.


"They're threatening us?" Andre burst out angrily, "Even better if he doesn't sell! When winter comes, we'll gather the troops and cross the Anya River! I want to see what that baldy can do!"


"Looting is also an option, let's keep it in mind as a backup plan," Winters said with a smile. "Actually, the most interesting part is the fact that Mont Blanc County is willing to 'trade' in the first place.


It seems that the New Reclamation Legion is not as united as we thought. I suspect General Adams's fence-sitting attitude has caused some disunity within the counties as well."


Moritz glanced at Winters nonchalantly, only to find Winters was also looking at him.


Winters spread his hands and explained helplessly to his former superior, "If we're really out of options... we'll have to resort to looting... like the Hurd tribe."
