Chapter 1097 Testimonials Supplement (2)
The second is the "magician" pathway, which is also the dream pathway.
As I said before, this path is basically a time-related modification, which is related to the wizard family related to the "Plane Research Tower"
The setting of the Plane Research Tower is to study the magic of time and space travel, the core of the Kailash Empire.
At the beginning, regarding the setting of time, what impressed me most at the beginning was the "hourglass".
Post the sequence first.
Trickster, Magician, Puppeteer, Mysterious Man, Phantom, Shadow Mage, Dreamer, Sleeper, Shadow of Time.
As I said before, regarding the setting of time, I basically have something to do with "Dark Night".
The first direction of extension is the starry sky, the galaxy, and because of the universe, it is tied together with the word "light year".
My first setting was related to water——"Xinghe".
At that time, I was thinking, according to the literal meaning of the Milky Way, a river composed of stars.
This setting was first used by me on the elves.
Because when I checked the source of mythology, I found that the image source of most elves today is the elves of the Lord of the Rings, and earlier, it must be traced back to the Nordic mythology, those "light elves born from corpses".
In fact, this is also my initial setting for elves.
Light elves, galaxy, starlight?
Star spirit?
It is not surprising that some creators with jumping minds can put together even a little connection between two words.
Then, my setting for the elves became that the ancestor of the elves was born from the corpse of a tentacle god like a star.
However, in the end, this setting was separated separately and became the subspecies of "Starlight Elf".
Mainly because of the "tree of life" setting.
The reason is because of Warcraft, because of the connection between elves and trees.
The origin of the world I set is derived from a wizard, a "glory" wizard who took the path of life and the path of the world, and became a "glory" wizard from a primitive religious priest like a druid.
And the "tree", the entire Glorious World, is an extension of her body.
The god most closely associated with Glory is a tree-shaped life god.
Because of the influence of Warcraft, I put the elves and this tree god together.
The gods controlled by elves are tree gods.
That is the rule of life.
Elves are spirit monsters formed by the "life force" derived from this god.
Yes, "spirits".
This setting is due to the influence of various strange spirits from the Celestial Dynasty.
No, to be more precise, it is because the word "elf" was first seen in a certain fantasy novel.
I don't remember clearly, but I only remember that when I first read novels, I read a novel with the main content of refining medicine and alchemy.
There seems to be a setting in it that the "medicine spirit" is a kind of good, and the "medicine essence" is a kind of evil.
Taking different pills will lead to different directions.
If you take the medicine, you will turn to good, and if you take the medicine, you will turn to evil.
There is also a yin and yang reconciliation setting. By re-refining and reconciling the "medicine essence" and "medicine spirit", it is possible to make an ineffective medicine and a "spirit" that can enhance potential.
It is probably because there is no spiritual medicine that can produce some pills, and elves are pure spirits of life, similar to humans.
However, I probably remember that the description of this thing in that book is very similar to ginseng fruit haha.
When I learned about the "elves" in Europe later, I confused two things.
After I found out, it never happened again.
However, when I was doing the setting, when I was doing the multi-world setting, I had set the fantasy fairy world, and I remembered this thing again.
This set of settings was formed under the mutual influence with the elves of Warcraft.
The confusion between the two words led to the "elf" of the night crow world.
Elves are spirit monsters formed by "life force".
"Elves" are pure life races, and star elves are subspecies.
And the "demon race", that is, the cognitive race, the flame-born species, also has something to do with this.
"Pure cognitive race"
The star spirit is the first set of time settings, and it is also the source of the "lover" approach
Then, there is the second set of time settings, one of the themes of the night crow, "dark night" is disassembled, which is darkness + time, this is the second set of settings.
This is the "magician", the source of the "dream" pathway.
Specifically,
The trickster of Sequence 9 has the ability to use the power of time to send words spoken through language in the form of shadows to the opponent's consciousness, allowing the opponent to form false memories.
At the beginning, this was in the spell list of the main character of Night Crow, called "Fraud Nightmare", but the main character's spell list was too long, so I cut some.
This ability duplicates other memory manipulation abilities that the Night Raven protagonist has.
Later, it became an independent profession of "Fraud Nightmare", but it was still useless.
When it came to Silver Crow, it was changed to a fraudster.
Sequence 8, the magician, the ability is to exchange the state of the object at different times through the control mark.
The source of this sequence is "hat-trick". Those who have seen the night crow should know that I have the skill of "hat-trick", which can change the position of the crow and the protagonist.
The source of inspiration is from Yu-Gi-Oh.
A set of decks from the Black Mage.
During that time, I became obsessed with chess again, and I was deeply impressed by the operation of king rook shifting.
How should I put it, at the beginning my setting was that there was a piece of paper in the first second, and a book in the second second.
Then, the previous second is exchanged with the next second, the book is replaced by paper, and the paper is replaced by a book.
The essence of the "Magician"'s exchange ability is this.
Moreover, it is possible to exchange for itself.
Do you think the ability of "exchange" is very similar to "magician"?
That's right, they have the same origin, the magician, no, the ability of "Phantom Thief" is called "hat trick".
Sequence 7, puppeteer, the ability is to be able to manipulate targets through dream marks.
The initial setting was the "crow puppet" in Night Crow.
There is such a thing as a "shadow crow" in Night Crow. The shadow crow can possess other people, and the protagonist can indirectly control the target by controlling the shadow crow.
I simplified "crow" to "mark".
In Silver Crow, at the beginning, the "puppet master" was the positive sequence, and the puppet master was the offset.
But then the "Strange Thief" came out, and I felt that the ability was somewhat similar to the "Marionette".
And because the protagonist of the Silver Crow is part of "Xiu Shi Lu", it can be counted as a creation to some extent.
I set both the puppeteer and the marionette as positive sequence.
(Looking through the document of foreshadowing, I suddenly found that I originally wanted to make a line on the doll, but it seems that I forgot?)
Sequence 6, mysterious person.
The title is inspired by Harry Potter.
The source of the setting is the concept of "dream" itself.
A dream, illusory yet real.
Just like time, it is a concept of non-existence and existence (personal understanding)
I set, "Dreamland", a time-related race, will not be harmed by forces other than time.
Then in Silver Crows, I made this racial trait "Mystery Man".
Can avoid all attacks by dreaming.
Speaking of which, this setting also prompted me to combine different concepts and "dimensions".
Different directions of power are different coordinate axes. Wizards are trying to advance to "higher dimensions" and move towards different coordinate axes.
And the end point of progress is the "conceptual creature" in my night crow setting.
Except for the power related to the concept itself, other powers cannot have even the slightest influence on this creature.
Sequence 5, Phantom
The ability to turn oneself into a dream and a shadow, so as to be able to intervene in the "shadow" of others, intervene in a certain period of time of others, and exist in a state similar to "shadow".
This ability is the extension of the image of "shadow" in time.
People's shadows are attached to people, illusory yet real.
In the setting of Night Crow, this thing was originally a "race".
Phantom race.
Phantom bird, phantom crow or something.
Later, it became a separate profession, which was originally intended as a material for synthesizing professions.
However, it was still useless, and finally became a character.
A phantom that can attach itself to others like a dream, but the setting has been changed.
From shadow + time to shadow + mind.
Mind shadow.
This setting is also the reason why I wrote the two paths of magician and demon together.
Because, the classic image of "demon" is negative.
There are too many settings where the devil represents "negative emotions" and represents original sin.
In Night Crows, the classic duality still exists.
Infiltrating the Holy See, Li Daitao's stiff white-robed wizards are chasing the light of truth and the "light of the soul".
Mind darkness, mind shadow, they look very similar, so I just mixed them together.
Then, the setting about Xiushi Lu was born.
"Like it is"
Through the bridge of "like", it penetrates into another cognitive image, and then replaces this image.
When you recognize this image, you will be infiltrated by Xiushi Lu.
The same is true for the "time" of shadows.
Sequence 4, Shadow Mage, can reproduce any sequence ability in the form of shadow spells.
From "Shadow Mage"
A profession in dnd, book friends who understand the relationship between the shadow magic net and the magic net, should realize it soon, right?
The magic net is a kind of transmission network, so I don't need to repeat these settings.
However, there is no such thing as a magic net in Night Crow.
But the timeline.
Yes, when I made the time image setting of the shadow, although there was no setting related to the magic net.
However, when the shadow mage is used in the professional synthesis setting, the river of time and the timeline are used as alternative magic net settings.
Through time, the ability and power that you understand can be reproduced in the form of shadow and time power.
Sequence 3, the dreamer.
The ability is to be able to transform oneself into a dream, and sneak into other people's dreams through the shadow of the river of time.
Originally, the ability of the person in the dream was the same as that of the "Phantom".
Infiltrate through the ability of the person in the dream, and then attach to others through the ability of the phantom.
name.
In fact, it was called Nightmare at first.
Later, after I came up with the name "Man in the Mirror", I immediately created a series of "Man in the Mirror".
People in paintings, people in dreams, people in words, people in books, etc.
The person in the story was originally related to the "devil" path, but it was later discarded.
The person in the painting was originally related to the "Wheel of Fortune" pathway, but it was also discarded.
People in the book are "temperance", that is, the secret way, but it's probably considered abandoned.
Sequence 2, Sleeper
From Kelenvor, God of Sleep.
A Grim Reaper of dnd.
At the very beginning, besides "dream" and "time", I also put together the concept of "death".
The reason is Kelan Wo of dnd.
"death" = "long sleep" = "eternity"
This set of fuzzy equations.
To be honest, when I first set up Silver Crow, I planned to put "life" on mass point 3, and put "time" on point 6.
But because of the setting of Glory World, after struggling for a long time, I put the life back to the middle position, which corresponds to the life particle in the Kabbalah tree structure.
But then it changed again.
Take the Kabbalah tree as the standard.
Positive Sequence is a Kabbalah-like sequence tree created by Xiushi Lu, using the mystery as the prototype, by stringing professionals into strings.
Reverse order is the false tree of wizards, the tree of glory.
Take Heyou's tree as the standard.
Masaki is the wizard's pseudo-rule tree, the tree of glory
The Reversed Tree is Xiushi Lu's imaginary tree.
In the beginning, on the wizard side, there was no such level as "sequence".
However, Xiushi Lu used the Phantom Tower as the center to cast a false tree of Heyu.
Through the "image" of the reverse tree and the main tree, Lu Xiushi "blends" the two trees together, infiltrates and replaces them.
Talk back and talk back.
The eternal sleeper, my setting is actually the god of death in the image of the poet.
"Requiem", "Funeral Song", "Hymn to Heroes" and so on.
However, later in Silver Crow, because it was related to "dreams", I put the name "eternal sleeper" in the dream path.
Final Sequence 1, "Shadows of Time"
Needless to say this.
"Shadows of the River of Time"
The original meaning is to become the shadow of the river of time.
However, when Xiushi Lu set the paths of "devil" and "magician", he remembered the setting of the big snake Satan.
Therefore, the appearance of a "demon" is a "snake".
And the appearance image of "magician" is "river".
Speaking of which, the prototype of this setting is also related to the book "The Tsar".
The protagonist in the Tsar is the product of Night Crow, when the protagonist's opponent was sealed, he deliberately manipulated the collapse of consciousness and let the fragments fly to other worlds in an attempt to save himself.
And this opponent is the "demon", a person transformed into a flame-born species.
Speaking of which, the Easter egg "Issian" I played is actually a foreshadowing.
There is also the game number "404" of the protagonist, who does not exist.
Then there is the name "Xiu Shi Lu".
Lucius, the name of a fallen angel, that is, Lucifer, the star of the morning light.
And the star of the morning sun is Venus, and in the Celestial Dynasty, it is called Venus.
And "Mercury's Morning Star".
Now you know why the protagonist is from the Fast family, right? (From the point of view set by the author)
It's a pity that no one noticed my series of hints, or hints, or easter eggs?
And then there's "Jacob."
Yago.
In fact, there are four setting sources.
One is the son of Alphaeus, Jacob who taught the Twelve Apostles of the Son.
The second is the legendary ancestor of a Jewish country, who wrestled with God.
The third was the son of Zebedee, brother of John, leader of the church, James the Great, the silent one.
The fourth is Jacob, the father of the rebel Judah.
Although I want to say that I am actually implying that Yago has various identities, and there are many Yago, but it is a bit far-fetched?
the last one.
Avrgomon.
Among the countless incarnations of Yugosothoth, the two most famous are Afgomon and Tavel Yat Umr.
Spread your hands
ps: I suddenly feel a little desperate, maybe every chapter has to be written so long
There are many sequences
More than twenty chapters of testimonials?
Otherwise, just call it setting talk
