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 66 Expedition_3

"Arson?" a patrol officer asked, shivering.

The sheriff also felt a pang of fear, but he still sternly reprimanded his subordinate, "Do you think an arson could leave not a single one of the twenty-five people able to run out? All these bodies have fatal wounds, it must have been murder followed by arson."

"Look at this person, the cut on his neck was enough to kill him, yet his head was also split open." Another patrol officer's lower teeth uncontrollably chattered against his uppers, almost crying out, "Who exactly were the deceased? Does one need to be killed twice in order to die? Have we encountered a cult?"

A patrol officer struggled through the crowd and handed a letter to the sheriff.

The sheriff broke the seal and briefly scanned the contents of the letter, then suddenly his face broke into a smile, "We don't need to worry about this case anymore. The sheriff of the dock district is willing to take over this case; he says it's a family feud."
