That evening, Morris learned the basic information and location of the underground market from Kyle.
The market is located deep underground in the Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, southwest England.
That was a more secluded place than Knockturn Alley.
Wizards from all over the world travel there to conduct some less-than-honorable transactions, and everyone conceals their identities.
Local shamans call it the " Cheese Market," a very strange name.
Perhaps it's because the cheese there is famous?
Morris plans to go and explore sometime.
He likes these informal places.
It's almost the end of September.
On Saturday morning, on the Ship in a Bottle in the middle of the Black Lake, Morris was in his room adjusting the Gate of Two Realms.
Lately, he has been trying to find ways to modify this teleportation array.
On his workbench, a thick layer of parchment lay, densely covered with revised plans.
It must be said that the complexity of this magic far exceeded his imagination.
After several consecutive all-nighters, he finally achieved relatively good results.
"Give it a try."
Morris looked at the magic circle on the ground and took two steps back.
As can be seen, the Gate of Two Realms magic circle is now completely different – half of the central rune has been replaced, and its size has been reduced to a quarter of its original size.
Once prepared, Morris began to channel his magic.
The magic circle slowly lit up, and a pitch-black void opened in the very center, only half the size of his head.
Immediately afterwards, white mist began to slowly emerge from it.
efficient.
Morris immediately crouched down, approached the hole, and stretched out his hand, " Energy Gathering!"
The white energy swirled and converged towards his palm, eventually transforming into a Gap Energy Crystal.
Morris looked at the small bead in his hand and laughed heartily, completely at ease.
Laughter echoed through the room, and Guantou emerged from under the bed, looking completely bewildered.
What happened, meow?
Morris walked over, squatted down, and reached out to pat its head.
With this improved magic circle, he no longer needed to personally travel to the Gap World to condense energy crystals.
Most importantly, he no longer has to worry about being hunted down by " Death ".
Although it was a bit slow, he believed that as the magic circle continued to be upgraded, this problem would be solved sooner or later.
Now he needs to consider how to utilize the energy crystals he has stockpiled.
" Yanhua!"
Morris called out, sat down at his workbench, and tapped the table with his quill pen.
The next second, the door to the room opened, and Yanhua flew in, carrying an empty envelope and a piece of paper in its mouth.
Morris took it, immediately spread it on the table, and began writing a letter.
I need a large quantity of Magical Creatures skeletons, incomplete or complete, I'm open to all kinds. If possible, please provide a list.
This letter was naturally addressed to Frick.
After finishing writing, he folded the letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax with a simple mark, and handed it to Yanhua.
Yanhua picked up the envelope, flapped its wings, and immediately flew out the door.
Morris leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing in a rather pleasant mood.
His plan to build an army of undead creatures can now begin.
October was a very busy time for Morris.
A few days after Morris sent his letter at the beginning of the month, Frick sent him a list.
The list contained all the Magical Creatures skeletons currently in his warehouse, along with their corresponding prices.
The other party also added a sentence: Please check the box next to the name of the goods you need.
Morris responded that he wanted them all.
That's right, he wants to buy up all the skeleton-like goods in Frick's warehouse.
He is no longer the same person he used to be.
The Phantom Flying Broomstick made him a lot of money; he could even produce 10,000 Galleon on the spot—a figure he wouldn't have dared to dream of a year ago.
Of course, all the goods in Frick's warehouse combined didn't reach that number.
Morris quickly calculated his expenses: a total of 9,800 Galleon, 13 Sickle, and 7 Knut.
It's acceptable.
A few days after the list was sent back, the owl delivered a large wooden crate that had been enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm.
It contained the animal skeletons that Morris had purchased.
Morris immediately took them all out and transported them to his warehouse.
Hundreds of skeletons were neatly arranged on the shelves, as if some mysterious exhibition was being held.
"Very good."
Morris stood in the center of the warehouse and nodded in satisfaction.
His reason for wanting these skeletons was simple: to convert enough undead creatures.
However, he did not want to use the original skeleton for transformation, but rather to break it down and reassemble it.
Just like the Champion back then.
At that time, he will have an army of undead skeletons.
Unlike skeletons summoned by the Skeleton Summoning Technique, these undead creatures provide him with a large amount of magic power after establishing Magic Power Link with him.
I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
The only concern is the supply of Gap Energy Crystal, since the number required for so many undead creatures to advance will undoubtedly be enormous.
He probably doesn't have enough Gap Energy Crystal.
Therefore, the production efficiency problem of Gap Energy Crystal also needs to be solved as soon as possible.
For the next period of time, Morris spent his time either attending classes or converting undead creatures.
Soon, a month had passed.
Through his efforts, the various skeletons that Frick sent him had been transformed into fifty undead creatures.
They look similar to the Champion, all black, only a bit smaller, standing at a standard height of 1.8 meters, and without the bone armor that the Champion wear.
As First-Tier Undead Creature, they have no special abilities, and the amount of magic they provide to Morris through the Magic Power Link is naturally pitifully small.
Fifty of them combined would roughly equal the number of Champion.
It's time to begin the advancement ceremony.
But before that, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's students arrived.
October 30th.
When Morris arrived at the Great Hall in the morning, he found that the decorations had been completely renewed, almost exactly like they were for the opening banquet.
A huge silk banner hung from the ceiling, embroidered with the enormous Hogwarts crest. The ceiling had been transformed into the shape of the sky, but since it wasn't night yet, no stars could be seen. Even the tables were polished so clean they reflected images.
In this environment, students obviously cannot eat breakfast calmly.
As soon as Morris sat down, Cho Chang, sitting opposite him, immediately struck up a conversation with him excitedly.
" Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be here tonight, Morris. What do you think their selection Champion will be?"
Morris calmly replied, "We'll find out tonight."
No matter what method he uses, as long as it's fair competition, he's confident he can become Champion.
