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...

The old man wasn't paying attention to what the Demon had said; he was more astonished as he asked: "Old language? The words of the lord? You can speak it?"


Pierre just smiled ambiguously in response.


The old man was overjoyed: "Then... then are you a lord too? Hey! I knew you must be someone important!"


Pierre said with self-deprecation: "If I were a lord, would I be sitting here waiting to rot?"


"Hey!" the old man dragged out the sound in disagreement, excitedly saying: "Even a good horse has to pull a heavy cart now and then!"


Through the small window of the dungeon, Pierre could see the gallows on the other end of the prison, where bodies always hung frozen.


Crows swarmed over the gallows, like a flowing black cloud.


"No matter what kind of horse, they all die," Pierre's throat was swollen badly, making it difficult for him to speak: "Here, it's only a matter of time."
