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

In the winter of the 559th year of the Empire, the campaign of Iron Peak County against the Terdon Tribe has yet to receive an official name.


However, privately, the people of Iron Peak County refer to this ultimate battle as "The Battle of Blood and Mud."


Over time, "The Blood Mud Battle" has gradually become a generic term for all the battles along the banks of Big Horn River.


Where exactly the name came from, no one can say for certain. A credible version is that so much blood was shed by both sides that the frozen solid farmland was turned into a swamp, thus it was named the Blood Mud Battle.


Regardless, on the afternoon Bard returned to Revodan, it was the first time Winters Montagne entered the Revodan garrison after the Blood Mud Battle had ended.


The duty guards stared intently at Blood Wolf as he approached them, even forgetting how to salute.
