Steel, Explosives, and Spellcasters

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...

Chapter 79 A Half Spell_2

Winters's headache worsened.

The image of the lion holds special significance in both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.

Firstly, the lion is a symbol of King David and also one of the twelve tribal emblems of the descendants who wrestled with God, as there are numerous metaphors and images of lions in the scriptures.

The Winged Lion is the symbol of Sea Blue's patron Saint, Saint Marco, and this image is depicted on the banners of the Vineta army.

Another Saint, Jerome, has an even closer connection to lions. Legend has it that he once removed a thorn from a lion's paw, and from then on, the lion stayed by his side, which was considered a miracle.

There are also stories of two other Saints who were accompanied by lions.

It was precisely because of Saint Jerome's precedent that the fact that Reed, a mendicant monk, had a lion by his side was readily accepted by the vast majority of believers without any difficulty.
