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...

Old Sergei drew his sword and slashed towards the corpse's chest, but instead of a spattering of blood and flesh, the sound of metal colliding emitted a dull thump.


Old Sergei then flipped open the garment on the corpse, revealing thin iron plates, each the size of a palm, affixed inside the leather robe.


"They all wore hidden armor!" Old Sergei tore off his scarf and spat: "I wondered why there was no blood when they were hit by arrows."


"Fabric armor? Plate armor clothing?" Colonel Moritz curiously touched it: "Can the Herders make this too?"


Pierre furrowed his brow: "Not to my knowledge. Last time we clashed, the Red River Tribe's armored soldiers were using small iron pieces strung together into laminar armor."
