The main framework of this plot is written, and it can finally be said.

The prototype of Charlie's character comes from Orwell's "Paris and London", I first read this book, mainly to find some details about poverty and hunger, after all, although my family conditions were not very good when I was a child, it was only embarrassing, not to the extent of hunger and poverty, in order to write truthfully, you need to draw nourishment from various reports, news interviews, and biographies, well, the rest of the references will be mentioned later.

In the process of reading "Paris and London", I read the true story of the prostitute who thought he was worshipping a saint and turned out to be a prostitute who really starved to death, my first reaction was, I'll go, this is too supernatural, weird, a taste of careful thinking and terrifying, if this is connected to the problem of the prostitute itself and the subsequent doom, isn't it a standard story of the mysterious world?

By the time I deliberately reproduced this passage and wrote it, most of the readers had the idea that there must be something wrong with it, exactly like me.

And this is also in line with my desire to combine real events in history with the transcendent system, in order to achieve the purpose of writing with illusion in reality, with illusion in reality, this point, starting from the mystery, is like this, but at that time, it may be timely to mention the character archetype, or use the history that everyone is familiar with, such as the Great Smog of London, so no one said anything.

At first, I just used the story of worshipping prostitutes as reference material, and I didn't have the idea of necessarily using it, until I refined the setting related to the outer gods, and when I was looking at the etymology of Charlilith, I saw a piece of information:

In Syrian legend, there are seven spirits of lust, male and female, one female named Lilith and one male named Lilin, and the remaining five are also names of li+XXX, who can have sex with people, exhaust and torture, and then see themselves as the wife or husband of the victim because of possessiveness, and then endanger the other half out of jealousy - the source is "The Witcher: A History of Fear", p. 107

Seeing this, my thoughts are:

Dream sex, lust, possessiveness, jealousy...... Mother tree, you still say it's not your person!

After using the concept of the spirit of lust and the concept of the tree spirit as the path of the mother tree in sequence 5, I also had the inspiration for how to deal with the material of worshipping prostitutes, and I had an idea of how to develop the subsequent plot, so I decided to use it.

I originally planned to use this material, so as not to be seen at a glance where it came from, but when I think it's so wrong, it will be thought that I made it up, so that it is tantamount to plagiarizing other people's lives, what I need is to be straightforward and let people see where this comes from, this can obviously pay tribute, not to be misunderstood, and second, to let the reader find out that this is a real historical event, and think about it very scary, which is in line with the purpose of my writing.

Based on this idea, I tried my best to reproduce the prostitute scene as it was, and led to the follow-up plot of the death of his wife or lover due to the spirit of lust, and he was almost killed.

I originally intended to write the sequence to which the mother tree belongs, mentioning the purpose of the creation without spoiling it, and then acknowledging the source, which caused confusion for some readers.

As for Charlie being raised by a rich woman and getting a diamond necklace, it actually has nothing to do with "Paris London Downfall", although there is a similar plot on it, but in the end, the rich woman ended up with the diamond necklace being caught by the police stealing.

I wrote this plot to play the popular "rich woman, hungry, hungry, rice" meme, second, I need to give Charlie a lover, otherwise I can't elicit the jealousy of the spirit of lust, and third, uh, don't you see? The core of this paragraph is essentially Maupassant's "Necklace", suffering for a false thing, and finally discovering the false ironic core, just because it is "Necklace", I used a diamond necklace, instead of changing it to other valuables, which is different from "Paris and London".

By the way, Maupassant's "Orla" in his later years really smelled of the babbling of a psycho, and if it weren't for the fact that he was older than the love of craftsmanship, I wonder if he was suffering from Cthulhu.

The origin of the name Charlie is also "The Fall of Paris and London", but not the one who worships prostitutes, but another, because I like the tone, tone and enthusiasm of his speech, so I just take the style, not the specific content and sentences, of course, in order to let everyone see, I also added the characteristics of short hands.

As for the poor old couple selling postcards, there is a character prototype in "Paris and London", but there is only a short line of text, not enough details, can not meet my desire to write "old and nowhere to go", until I saw the definition of "street academic beauty" in other materials, saw the introduction of many people selling fake yellow picture real postcards, and saw the police crackdown on photographers and underground print dealers, I decided to use this material, dig out the story behind it, and extend my personal speculation and ideas.

Many people who take "Paris and London" as an example may not remember Orwell's words at the end of the first part: "If anyone has time, it would be interesting to write a biography of one of them."

Personally, I don't want to write biographies of the silhouettes of characters in literary classics, but just use this shell to tell my own stories and carry more ideas.

The other ones are used to show some real details of hunger and poverty, so I won't say more, by the way, the detail of slapping the face to create a rosy feeling, I originally planned to write it in correspondence with a certain detail of another material, so that there is a sense of contrast, a sense of irony, but there is no natural shift in the perspective of the characters that Tarot will bring, so I can only regret giving up.

The detail is: during the period of Nasan, a certain duke was deceived by a swindler and died by taking drugs containing arsenic for a long time, and his purpose was to make his skin pale.

This is in very good contrast to the poor who make their faces ruddy.

Well, the source should be "Impression Paris", which talks about the emergence and development of Impressionism, and there are also many interesting historical details of the characters, which may be used later.

Also, there should be a character prototype in "Paris and London" later, and the original text is only a short sentence, but I think there are many, many stories behind it, poignant and emotional stories, and I will tell you which one it is when I finish writing.

My personal habit is to quote the original sentence directly or slightly changed sentences, and will directly mark the end of the chapter, borrowing character archetypes, item prototypes and historical events, and mentioning them in each final summary, otherwise, they really have to be marked, and some chapters can be marked with more than ten or twenty.

After all, up to now, every dish and wine name, legend, city detail, magic ritual, folk culture, and customs that have appeared have a provenance.

For example, fools, Paris was really full of fun people in those days.

For example, the source of the pardon for marrying a condemned prisoner is page 11 of the History of the Café de Paris, which mentions that although a criminal was proposed, he saw that the other person was ugly, so he said to the executioner, "Brother, hang me quickly!" Please", the real case of Yan Gou dying from looking at his face.

Well, many of the legends and proverbs in the first part are from the work "Montayou", which is the product of the study of the interrogation records left by a certain pope, and truly shows the humanistic customs and life details of the village of Montayou in the south of France.

At the end of the first part, I originally wanted to mention "Montayou", but because I was out of the house, I used my mobile phone to code words, and I was in a hurry, and I missed it, what I wanted to say at the time was, friends, many things in the first part are not playing with stalks, such as Jiuniu Coffin is really not ridiculing Dongge's Nine Dragons Coffin, that is the real history and legend of the Montayou area, and human imagination is sometimes a bit similar.
