Threads of hypocrisy, manipulation of rumors! "The world is a torrent of words. Move the words within your palm and you will find the omen of a dream come true." As long as someone who wants something comes to him, he will use the so-called "prophecy" to move people's hearts, granting wishes, getting, snatching, and losing... Just when he is using more lies to water the beauty and kindness he seeks, a bunch of vengeful wildfire is burning more and more from the corner...
Exquisite skills, spreading desire
The story of Season 32 Essence 1 takes place in a quaint workshop. A few customers come for something other than exquisitely crafted utensils. They believe that the craftsman has a more mysterious ability - he can manipulate things that are unseen and intangible. The "omens" that guide the flow of words are as easy as playing with molten silver waiting to be melted.
In the poster, although Seer - Pure Salt is under the control of Lawyer - Inverse Mercury, he still seems to want to keep his true heart. Lawyer - Inverse Mercury raised corners of his mouth and his cold eyes reveal that he is making a sophisticated plan at this moment; Geisha - Brimstone is matched with white gold, with a gorgeous and quiet beauty, and a warm and welcoming look. The blazing, red-haired Prajna stands behind the craftsman. What kind of demands does she have, and can she get her wish? The story is exciting and fast-paced, and what kind of story is happening under the blazing fire in the background......
Wise men reverse guidance
"Mercury" is always wise and eloquent. He is familiar with the incantations in esoteric ancient books and leads the flow of words.
[S Costume] Lawyer - Inverse Mercury's light chestnut curly hair was neatly pressed down, and on the dark silver headband were a dazzling array of gems of various colors. A pair of wings shone faintly in the night, and his lustful eyes were hidden behind the lenses.
On the left waist is a parchment recording ancient wisdom and a transparent distilling bottle filled with silver liquid. On the right waist is a dark badge with the symbols engraved upside down, symbolizing that this power is guided by the shadows.
Dark silver liquid metal snakes around his forearm, and he holds a thin silver-black astrology book. Sometimes it is difficult for you to tell whether the words in his mouth come from an oracle or selfishness.
The prophecy of lies, the fire of revenge. The lies under the ravine of desire will eventually lead to the fire of revenge, let us follow the Brimstone and burn out all conspiracies!

Design Idea Plans
The highlight of this essence revolves around a mysterious workshop. The workshop not only produces excellent utensils, but also produces some appropriate suggestions. They are secretly sealed in silver metal cylinders and are constantly delivered to eager visitors.
Based on the Roman style clothing, various symbols with mysterious meanings, as well as their extended colors and patterns, together constitute the essence of this essence's theme. "Inverse Mercury" is the core metaphor of the protagonist, and it is also the center around which the design plan revolves: silver is used as the main tone, with a fluid mercury effect added, supplemented by symbolic patterns such as Mercury and the double snake staff. And the other two characters, using "Brimstone" and "Pure Salt" as the conceptual starting point, they carried out extended designs in color matching and decoration, and added dark patterns symbolizing lions and pelicans.
In the story, all symbolic symbols reveal the essence of the character in the story. The "craftsman" in the story is familiar with ancient wisdom. As a favored person, he is eloquent, has transcendent intelligence and ambition, and is used to showing hypocrisy ——Even in the pursuit of the truest thing, he never betrayed his arrogance, and the bright and fascinating "Brimstone Fire" has exciting spiritual power. Spiritual power, as a glimpse into the truth, is a fire that breaks through the curtain of lies. The last one is "Pure Salt", is the most stable and tolerant in a symbolic sense, as a giver who cares about suffering, he returns to the physical body and the earthly world.
Design Idea Sketches
The first sketch deviated a bit in both directions, mainly because the grasp of the character's personality in the requirements was not enough, the expression of the era was not obvious enough, the overall design was average, and the design points were scattered.
The second sketch is more in line with the contemporary image required, but the temperament is not close enough. We chose to optimize based on figure 2.
The third version is almost complete, with increased contrast around the head, adding more dark colors to the overall color, and concentrating special effects and design points.

Showroom Interface Design
Silver liquid metal poured out, and he counted the raw materials needed for transformation in the dark. The unique power gathered in the distilling bottle in his hand like a countercurrent waterfall, revealing a turbid silver brilliance.
The liquid metal flowing with magic power spread in the small space at his summons. He was suspended in mid-air, playfully flipping through the books recording the secret rituals, and listening to the visitor's deepest desires.
In-Game Display
The fine mist of light scattered around his body comes from the ancient secret ceremony, and his purple-black cloak shines like a starry night. He opened the ancient book, which contained too much unknown wisdom ——Everything he wants to possess can flourish in the fertile soil of deceptive words.
