Su Xiao quickly skimmed the world introduction. He gained a preliminary understanding of this world. It was currently the year 1433 of the Dark Crow Era. Technology in this era was relatively backward. Because of the wars, this world had already invented steam engines and initially mastered the use of electricity, but generating power remained a major problem. Only the nobility could use things like electric lamps.
Steam engines and trains were basically the most advanced technology. As for weapons, they were all powerful shotgun-type firearms, commonly known as scatterguns. Diamonds were used as bullets, and as much gunpowder as they could fit was stuffed inside to maximize power and killing range. As for heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery, they simply did not exist—or rather, no one had researched them in that direction.
The reason for this bizarre development in weaponry was that, in the eyes of this world's humans, their only enemies were witches. At least, that was what the kingdoms and tribal powers believed.
The existence of witches had long since been accepted by ordinary people. They were not like rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting for their deaths. Witches' territories were called "human settlements," while regions ruled by humans were known as kingdoms, empires, tribes, and so on. Among them, tribes were the most backward, yet they were the strongest when it came to fighting witches.
There were countless kingdoms, tribes, and settlements of all sizes. No one could reunify this continent, because the witches who appeared after Dark Crow were far weaker than she had been. They also had a weakness: diamonds.
Once diamonds were embedded in their bodies, witches' abilities would be greatly reduced. Of course, even tens of thousands of humans might not be a match for a single witch. That
