As an Undead Mage, I personally recommend skulls and roses, a classic Undead Mage combination. Additionally, if you specialize in the Soul Summoning Skill, an arm reaching from the ground is also a fitting design.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there no ready-made design?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there is. In fact, they’re all drawn on the spot, but the direction needs to be chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s your first time making a Battle Banner, and there’s no previous background banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I need to ask in advance about the direction you want, so I can draw it better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even when painting ceiling frescos for teaching, there should be a theme, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the old tailor added, \"So, comrade, what kind of ideas are you considering? I think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind what you think, I possess the Death City from the Three Divine Skills, any representation of Death City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tailor’s words were interrupted, and though a bit helpless, he still said, \"Indeed, the most classic idea for Death City is having a castle in the center of the Battle Banner, or a city gate stacked with skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One long shot, one close-up, both are classics, instantly letting people know the owner of the banner possesses the Death City Divine Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the Death Incarnation Divine Skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Death Incarnation depends on the form. If it’s a Bone Dragon, you draw a Bone Dragon on the Battle Banner. If it’s Death God, you draw a scythe, or you can draw Black and White Impermanence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the old tailor more forthcoming; he previously thought it was just first-time freebies that didn’t require much effort. After all, they were all newcomers making Battle Banners; they didn’t really have specific ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to draw something thoughtful, he could say new players hadn’t reached that level and couldn’t randomly add things to the Battle Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Gu Xi dropped two out of the Three Divine Skills, leaving the old tailor at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t very well say Gu Xi shouldn’t use those Three Divine Skills to design a Battle Banner, could he? Doing so would get him a lot of criticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the old tailor sincerely displayed his skill level, explaining several design directions he had to Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Comrade, if you want to combine these two Divine Skills for the Battle Banner design, do you like either of these two designs: one with a Bone Dragon circling a castle’s far view, or another with a city gate design where the Bone Dragon’s head pokes out from the gate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the old tailor drew rough sketches on the Battle Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi compared them seriously while considering his own ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Battle Banner design sketches had their good points, but also aspects he disliked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long shot castle looked like Sleeping Beauty Castle, while the Death Incarnation’s dragon was too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the close-up, the Bone Dragon had only its head showing, and Death City showed only a gate, with skulls stacked in front being more prominent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the design occupied a large space, covering the base color Gu Xi had chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, neither expression satisfied Gu Xi. Even though the old tailor said it was just a design direction that needed further adjustments, Gu Xi would not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if the direction is wrong, adjustments won’t help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Gu Xi asked, \"Can I give suggestions and you draw it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" the old tailor said quite directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, start drawing the castle—wait, the Chaoyang Radiance Guild has its specific colors, does the Death Three Divine Skills have their specific colors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi suddenly thought of a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tailor hesitated a bit, but eventually said, \"Yes, Death City’s specific color is this Dusk Black, and Death Incarnation’s specific color is this Pale White.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi then fell into deep thought, various ideas flashing through his mind, but none were satisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes he thought of letting the old tailor come up with a few more directions, and if there were no big issues, just go with it, but then he felt reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Gu Xi’s banner; he didn’t want to make it carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Xi in contemplation, a slight smile appeared on the old tailor’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Gu Xi was in a state of mental confusion; it was a good opportunity for him to steer Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tailor slowly opened his mouth saying, \"Comrade, I think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Gu Xi bluntly interrupted, \"I said you draw.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\" The old tailor was surprised by Gu Xi’s decisiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say more, but Gu Xi immediately said again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is ’ah’? Just draw as I say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the old tailor pick up the pen, and Gu Xi immediately instructed, \"Use Dusk Black to show me the contrast effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling resigned, the old tailor could only bring out the Dusk Black, which compared to pure black, had an obvious texture, like the difference between a phone and a DSLR.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This black looked more comfortable than the previous pure black, and Gu Xi pointed at the flag’s sunset red part, saying, \"Draw a Bone Dragon for me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the old tailor, holding a brush, touched the flag face, and a Bone Dragon appeared on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi then started adjusting the Bone Dragon’s angle, freely enlarging or reducing its size, eventually drawing a black Bone Dragon that took up the upper half of the flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Bone Dragon had its wings spread, body rising vertically, its motion resembled a double-headed eagle, just without anything in its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Bone Dragon’s chest, instead of seeing the flag’s color through ribs, there was a Pale White city gate design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath this gate, there were no skulls as the old tailor had suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made no sense to Gu Xi; with a Bone Dragon there, who wouldn’t know you’re an Undead Mage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Gu Xi straightforwardly added nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Xi didn’t forget his achievements: the chief’s emblem and the Undead Calamity Ceremony Badge were all requested by Gu Xi to be added into the banner and asked not to affect the overall visual feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this request, the old tailor didn’t know what to say; he hadn’t expected banner-less Gu Xi to have so many materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time designing a banner for Gu Xi was quite a loss for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still honestly completed the final design, drawing a ring around the Bone Dragon’s outstretched wings, placing two achievement emblems inside the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the banner design, the old tailor waved the completed banner, and three crafted banners appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go, after the banner design is complete, you get three banners in total. If you need more, you can make them yourself or buy them here, at a price of 10 yuan each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, if you want to adjust the banner again, it’ll be 200 yuan next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing saying this, the old tailor somewhat helplessly stated, \"All patterns and colors are fully open!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.025Z",1,"novelbin.me","72d150fb3360cdee27048f4fcea3c2b684db2c54888a732774de2cc8d5af8172","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-82","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-81",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
