Before writing this note, let me introduce the author-Walter Morse, a famous German comic painter and writer. His masterpiece is the long fantasy novel "13 Half-lives of Captain Blue Bear" published in 1999. It is also the first time I read his works. When I was only ten years old, I was suddenly attracted to the book.

All his novels are based on a world called Chamonix. The author tells these stories as an encyclopedic translator of Chamonix. What kind of world is Chamonix? There are strange creatures, unheard-of wonders and open-minded operating rules here. Although the author writes extensively, it only gives us an understanding of Chamonix. I like Morse's novels, one of which is the worship of Chamonix's world setting. (The author really has a very subtle structure.) Secondly, his story is wonderful and the plot is interlocking, which makes people very enjoyable to read. Third, the language is humorous and unique, especially vivid and inspiring your endless imagination. Of course, the most finishing touch is the illustration in the book. As a painter, he personally manipulated the drawings, making the words and pictures constitute an irreplaceable classic whole.

The story of The Witch Master takes place in Slade Waya, the most morbid place in Chamonix. The city is sick from the inside out, or illness is the norm here. What brain whooping cough, liver migraine, hallucination toothache … all kinds of strange, all-encompassing! The protagonist is a Klaz cat named Ashow. The clue of the story is very simple. Ashow lived on the street because of the death of his mistress, and met Esping, the sorcerer of this city, an eccentric and crazy alchemist with bad taste at the critical moment of starvation. He proposed to sign an agreement with Ai Xiao, and he would provide Ai Xiao with delicacies one month from today to make him happy, on condition that he would boil them into oil one month later! Although it is not comfortable to think of cooking in a month, it is better than starving to death on the street now, so Ashow agreed. There are many plots in the middle, and in the end, it leads to a long-hidden sad love story. In this secret contest, is the sorcerer's spell more powerful or Ashow's luck better? You can see for yourself.

I compare this fantasy novel to a beautifully packaged candy. Then the packaged candy paper is a beautiful illustration. Peel it off, and what appears before our eyes is a delicious sugar coating. In the book, Espin, the sorcerer, prepared the best food for Ai Xiao. All the ingredients are precious and excellent, and the super-class cooking skills are used to bomb the kitten's taste buds in turn. Let me make a menu first to give you a feeling.

the saffron is seasoned and turned into tomato thick soup

invisible caviar

deep-fried dragon viscera

baked noodles covered with gold foil

catfish with prawns

pork with twelve sauces called fish

spider crab with Chili and brown sugar

human rabbit tongue with lavender juice

frozen sea cucumber soup with Atlantic lobster tails

. If you haven't felt it yet, please see one of the descriptions: "tomato soup flavored with saffron." Espin announced, "To make this soup, you have to choose tomatoes that ripen best in the sun, peel them and put them on a piece of gauze tied tightly and hung above the pot. In the next three days, only by steam heating, the juice in the pulp will pass through the fiber of gauze and fall into the pot drop by drop. Only in this way can we get the pure taste of tomatoes-this is the soul of tomatoes! Then add a little salt, a little rock sugar and twelve-twelve saffron stamens must be put in, simmered slowly for a day, and never boiled, otherwise the soul of the tomato will leave the juice, and it will taste like nothing! Stew slowly with the smallest flame. Only in this way can there be such a golden red color. "

The icing melts after the mouth, and the filling makes people taste different levels of taste. My feelings: one is to find your own uniqueness and give full play to it. As a Klaz cat, Ashow is unique in that he can speak the languages of different creatures. This kind of communication has helped him a lot in times of crisis. From the very beginning, I met the sorcerer, which made him see the potential use value. I dealt with the magic bat on the stairs to the roof, met the owl Frodo and asked for help, and survived from the snow widow spider. Which one doesn't use communication? Assuming that Ashow can't talk, well, then it can't leave this legendary story at all.

the second is the continuous accumulation of knowledge. Due to the need of the final experiment, Ashow learned a lot of alchemy knowledge with the wizard, which seemed to be useless and was very important for him to turn the situation around. It first appeared when it reached a United front alliance with the witch. The knowledge in Ai Xiao's little head became the weight he exchanged with the witch. The second time he opened the door of the sorcerer's storage room, his super memory helped him to write down a long list of passwords. The third time appeared at the moment when Ashow was about to be boiled into oil. He remembered the spell he had used to win precious rescue time for himself.

the third is that contingency contains necessity. Ashow fell from the sky and was accurately saved by his telepathic owl friend Frodo. It was a very incredible thing, but it did happen. How to explain it? It can only be said that fate has its own trajectory and naturally has its own laws. It is enough for us to have a heart of awe.

Fourth, it is easy for people to indulge in debauchery and forget their original purpose. Looking forward to the future is the source of motivation to continue to work hard. At the beginning, Ashow was worried about his own life in a month. However, after food and clothing, he gradually developed Stockholm syndrome for the wizard Espin. He is getting fatter and fatter day by day, and no longer cares about the coming fate. Or a friend woke him up and put him back on the right path. At the end of the story, the town returned to normal, and Ashow left his former residence and began to run to the other side of the Blue Mountain. Because I heard that there is another kind of Klaz cat, the miracle of love is waiting for him.

After a thorough analysis, the Witch Master is actually a very informative novel. Many truths are caught in the story, which makes us remember for a long time. I believe you will love it after reading it!
