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...

Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

It was just a moment, but from Peter's knees to chest, he was trembling—not a tremble of the mind, but a physical shaking.


He bowed his head deeply, not daring to raise his eyes to look at everyone.


"Wait... wait for the Centurion." Peter stared at the tips of his shoes, fiddling with the corner of his clothing, a certain invisible force almost crushing him: "Wait for the Centurion to return..."


"What did you say? Can you speak up?" someone asked tentatively. Sergeant Bunir's voice was too low; no one could clearly hear what he was saying.


Accustomed to obedience, and "Can you speak up?" sounded like a command, Peter instinctively raised his voice and repeated, "Wait for the Centurion to return!"


"Yes," the Centurion and soldiers of the company answered in unison.


For everyone, waiting for Centurion Tamas to return was the safest approach.
