Iron Powder and Spellcasters

   Concluding remarks

   Interesting to say, at the end of the first volume, I wrote no more or no less than 500,000 words.

   I said in the first volume of testimonials, "The second volume will not be written so much, and the end of 200,000 words".

   When the second volume was really over, I looked at the word count, no more than one million words.

   Although it sounds like inserting FLAG, I still have to say: "Volume 3, 200,000 words, don't write so much again."

  …

   Let’s talk about the update plan first.

   After the end of the second volume, I would like to take a break for three or four days (Note: the latest update will be resumed next Monday/20210125).

   This period will not stop, just not the text, but the "character card" promised before.

   Includes [Winters Montagne], [Fr. Rhett] and [Anna Navarre].

  I also want to take this opportunity to finish drawing the map of Bian Li.

  If time permits, draw the map of Plato and Heard Moor as well.

  Because I am a name-setter, book friends are welcome to provide place names. Thank you all (bow).

  …

  In Galloping Horses, Winters' world is completely out of control.

   He was originally a promising young officer, with a big tree above his head to shelter him from the rain, and a fluffy bed to support him when he wanted to lie down.

   was taken to a strange land and fought a strange war with a group of strangers.

  Some book friends mentioned that one should not use too much pen and ink to describe a war that is irrelevant to the main line.

   Really shouldn't use too much ink, but [Battle of the Great Wasteland] is not just as simple as [Bordermen and barbarians fight].

  The inside of the alliance is like a pressure cooker, and the situation is imminent.

   And Plato's defeat is a real black swan event, which is equivalent to throwing an unforeseen spark into the gunpowder.

   In the third volume [Monsoon], the stage will be expanded again, and some forces that were only paving the way before will also appear in this volume.

   Winters will also continue his research into magic—especially divine arts.

   In fact, he already has the research conditions that countless Alliance spellcasters can only dream of in Palatu - although the hardware facilities may be a little worse.

   Winters' mentality has also undergone a great change, and he is now different from the past.

   What Winters Montagne would not do before, Winters Montagne will do now.

   The former Winters Montagne couldn't think about things, and the current Winters Montagne does.

   The former Winters Montagne chose to endure, and the current Winters Montagne will no longer follow the crowd.

   A mass-produced magic warfare tool man, and now he has his own ideas.

  …

  What kind of person was Winters Montagne? Every book lover will have his own answer.

   In my eyes, he is a kind and ordinary person, in fact, he is very masculine and has a strong desire to protect.

  The first twenty years of his life followed step by step, and when he was confirmed as a boy at birth, he was determined which path to take.

  The ascetic military school education taught him loyalty, responsibility, and obedience to authority, almost all of which were ingrained into his bones.

   His adoptive father was also teaching him by example what it means to be "diligent", and he was cast as a pure soldier.

   He doesn't have too many complicated thoughts, and he doesn't need to have them. Wherever the flag points, he rushes to it.

   And he has the strongest sense of responsibility and guilt towards those who count on him, love him, and entrust their lives to him.

   As a book friend pointed out for a while: "Whoever treats Winters well, he treats whoever is good. He has no goals of his own."

   Winters really has no goals of his own, not even such a thing as an "ideal".

   His material conditions were good: his grandfather, a wealthy businessman, had only two daughters, Elizabeth and Kesha, his biological and adoptive mothers.

   He opened his mouth and stretched out his hand when he was young. Although Kesha is very strict with her son's money management, Winters has never been short of money - and there is no place to spend it in the military school

   This even caused Winters to be very slow about money, and he did not know how much a liter of wheat was or how much a pound of bread was.

   So he lacks the desire to "get ahead", nor does he have a strong motivation to "must achieve a career".

   In contrast, the adoptive father is the son of a craftsman, but the influence on Winters is far greater than that of the adoptive mother and the biological mother whom he has never met.

Antonio Seretti is a man who came from the people and loves the people, and he believes in the idea of ​​the Union - that some people should not be born nobler than others, and some people should not be born better than others. People are humble.

   Winters looked up to his adoptive father, worshipped his adoptive father, learned from his adoptive father, and also inherited his recognition of fairness and justice from his adoptive father.

  If he is lucky, Winters can move forward along the established path of life: spend time in agencies, kill time to gain seniority, and be promoted step by step...

   He is a spell caster, and it is easy to retire with the rank of colonel. Whether he can get the general baton depends on the opportunity.

   He would marry the daughter of a respectable family, settle down, and have children. Antonio and Corsa will build him a new house next to the old one. Kesha would never let her servants take care of her children, and would definitely take care of her granddaughter and grandchildren herself.

   But fate eventually took Winters on a path he never imagined.

   Volume 2 thus ends.

  Although many book friends have not spoken, but every time I am criticized, I will open the recommendation ticket and push the message. At that time, I could feel that although many book friends were silent, they were really watching the story.

  Thank you readers for keeping up with this story, thank you all.

  Thanks to those book friends who have been helping to promote books for free, thank you all. Without you, this book would not have been seen by so many book lovers today, thank you, thank you (bow)

  The story will continue in "Monsoon Roll".

  …

   Also, there is a portrait of "Anna" in this chapter and the previous chapter. I have been hiding it for a long time, and finally I can post it for everyone to see; if you have the conditions, you'd better open this chapter and say. There are some illustrations, it would be a pity to miss them.

   And, there is also a book group, 924430243.

thank you all.

   There is one more stalk I can finally talk about.

   Bian Li is actually a boundary, a border, a fence. The Battle of Jiefancheng was the key battle of the Battle of Sarhu.

   However, the cause, course and result of this war are very different from that battle. Please do not substitute it into the real world, thank you.
