Gu Xi's Battle Flag
The update is a little late, please forgive me. Today's update is here!
"Comrade, what kind of design do you need? As a necromancer, I personally recommend Skeleton and a rose, which is a classic necromancer combination. Also, if you specialize in Summoning, an arm reaching out from the ground is also a suitable design."
"Aren't there any freshly drawn ones?"
"Of course there are. They are all drawn on the spot, but the direction needs to be chosen."
This is the first time my comrade has made a battle flag, and there is no background battle flag like the ones he made before.
So I need to ask you in advance what direction you want to choose, so that I can draw it properly.
Even if it's a ceiling painting for teaching purposes, it still needs a theme, right?
At this point, the Old Tailor added, "So, comrade, what approach do you think you're taking? I believe..."
"Don't just think about it. I possess the Death City from the Three Divine Skills. Do you have any ideas that represent the Death City?"
The Old Tailor was interrupted and felt somewhat helpless, but he still had to say, "Yes, the most classic idea for the Death City is to draw a castle in the center of the battle flag, and also to have City Gate piled with Skeleton."
A long shot and a close-up—these two are the most classic, instantly conveying that the owner of War Banner possesses the divine skill of the Death City.
"What about the divine skill 'Death Avatar'?"
Gu Xi asked another question.
"The Death Avatar depends on what the incarnation looks like. If it is Bone Dragon, you can draw Bone Dragon on the battle banner. If it is the Grim Reaper, you can draw a scythe. Some people also draw the White Impermanence."
The Old Tailor immediately calmed down. Before, he had only thought about making the first order for free and doing it casually, since they were all newbies making battle flags and he didn't have many other ideas.
If they want to draw some creative designs, he can also claim that new players haven't reached that level and can't add things randomly to their battle flags.
But Gu Xi used two of the Three Divine Skills at once, leaving the Old Tailor speechless.
He couldn't very well say that Gu Xi couldn't use these Three Divine Skills to design battle flags, could he? If he did, he would definitely be torn to shreds by criticism.
So at this point, the Old Tailor honestly demonstrated his skills and explained his design directions to Gu Xi.
"Comrade, if these two divine skills were combined to make a battle flag design, which of these two designs would you prefer? One is Bone Dragon circling the castle in the distance, and the other is a design of the City Gate, with the Bone Dragon peeking its head down from the City Gate."
As he spoke, the Old Tailor sketched the general design onto the battle flag.
Gu Xi carefully compared the data while also pondering his own thoughts.
Both battle flag designs had their merits, but also aspects he disliked.
The castle in the distance looks like Sleeping Beauty Castle, and the dragon, the Death Avatar, is too small.
In the close-up, only the head of the Bone Dragon appears, and the Death City has only one door. Instead, the Skeleton stacked in front of the door are more conspicuous.
In addition, the pattern occupies a large area, blocking out the background color that Gu Xi had chosen.
Therefore, Gu Xi was not satisfied with either of these approaches. Even if the Old Tailor suggested that this was just a design direction and that adjustments would be needed later, Gu Xi would not agree.
Since the direction is wrong, there's no point in adjusting it.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi asked, "Could I give you my suggestions and you draw the picture?"
"Of course," the Old Tailor said quite directly.
"Okay, let's draw the castle first. Wait, the Chaoyang Radiance Guild has its own special colors, but do the Three Divine Skills of Death have their own special colors?"
Gu Xi suddenly thought of a question.
The Old Tailor hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Yes, the exclusive color of the Death City is this Nightfall Black, and the exclusive color of the Death Avatar is this deathly white."
Gu Xi then fell into deep thought, various different solutions flashing through his mind, but none of them were quite satisfactory.
Sometimes he even thought that if the Old Tailor could come up with a few more directions and there were no major problems, then he could just let it go. But as soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Xi felt a little unwilling.
This is Gu Xi's battle flag, and he doesn't want to act recklessly like this.
Seeing Gu Xi's expression, the Old Tailor also smiled.
It seems that Gu Xi has fallen into a state of mental confusion, and now is a good opportunity for him to take action and control Gu Xi.
The Old Tailor slowly began to speak, "Comrade, I think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xi interrupted him directly, "I said you draw."
"Huh?!" The Old Tailor didn't expect Gu Xi to be so decisive.
He wanted to say something more, but Gu Xi spoke directly.
"What do you mean, 'ah'? Draw it the way I told you to."
The Old Tailor then picked up his pen, Gu Xi immediately said, "Let me see the comparison effect with Nightfall Black."
Left with no other choice, the Old Tailor could only take out Nightfall Black, a black that had a distinct sense of depth compared to pure black, much like the difference between a mobile phone and a DSLR camera.
This kind of black looks more comfortable than the previous pure black. Gu Xi pointed to the Sunset Glow Red flag and said, "Draw a Bone Dragon here for me."
Upon hearing this, the Old Tailor took his paintbrush and pointed it at the flag, and a Bone Dragon appeared on the flag.
At this moment, Gu Xi began to adjust the angle of the Bone Dragon, freely enlarging or shrinking Bone Dragon size, and finally, a black Bone Dragon occupying the upper half of the flag was drawn.
The Bone Dragon spread its wings and flew vertically, its movements resembling those of a two-headed eagle, except that it wasn't holding anything in its claws.
On the chest of the Bone Dragon, instead of seeing the ribs in the color of the flag behind it, there is a stark white pattern of a City Gate.
Beneath this City Gate, there was no Skeleton or anything like what the Old Tailor had said.
That was meaningless to Gu Xi. He was already Bone Dragon, so how could anyone not know he was a necromancer? Therefore, Gu Xi simply didn't add anything.
However, Gu Xi did not forget his achievements. Gu Xi that the chief's mark and the Undead Scourge Ritual Badge be added to the battle flag, and that it should not affect the overall visual appeal.
The Old Tailor was speechless at this situation. He never expected that Gu Xi, without a battle flag, could produce so much material.
This time, he really lost out by designing the battle flag for Gu Xi.
However, he still honestly completed the final design, drawing a circle on the edge of the winged Bone Dragon and placing two battle markers inside the circle.
After completing the design of the battle flags, the Old Tailor waved his hand over the drawn flags, and three finished battle flags appeared in his hands.
"Take it. After the battle flag design is completed, we will give you three battle flags in total. If that's not enough, you can make your own or buy them here. They are sold here for 10 yuan each."
If you want to adjust the battle flag again, it will cost 200 yuan each time.
After saying this, the Old Tailor added somewhat helplessly, "All patterns and colors are open!"
