Professor Grubbly-Plank led the group to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
As the other party said, today's lesson topic is Unicorn.
Look, a fully grown Unicorn is tied to a tree and wandering around.
There were several fresh footprints on the ground, indicating that it had just been tied up here recently.
The students began to whisper among themselves.
Kyle excitedly moved closer to Morris, his eyes fixed on the Unicorn. "There really is Unicorn! Can I touch it?"
Morris glanced at him. "You should ask the professor."
Before Kyle could act, another boy raised his hand and asked, " Professor Grubbly-Plank, may we approach?"
Professor Grubbly-Plank turned around, his tone stern, "Don't even think about it! Boys, stand back!"
He paused, then added, " Unicorn enjoy being touched by women, so girls can try. But remember, be gentle, don't be sudden, and don't have any aggressive intentions. Unicorn can sense your feelings."
Kyle pouted and said to Morris with dissatisfaction, "That's not fair."
"Yes, it's not fair," Morris replied casually.
He noticed that the Unicorn had been staring intently at him from the very beginning, its eyes filled with wariness.
This is normal, after all, he was once attacked by a pack of Unicorn. In the entire Wizarding World, there are very few people who have had such an experience.
Perhaps this is one of those Unicorn from back then.
Next, under Professor Grubbly-Plank's guidance, the girls began to move cautiously toward the Unicorn.
Morris also took two steps closer, trying to find a better vantage point.
However, this very action seems to have disrupted a delicate balance.
The Unicorn's eyes instantly filled with terror, and it let out a sharp cry.
"Don't move! Everyone stay still!" Professor Grubbly-Plank shouted.
But it was too late.
The rope snapped instantly, and the Unicorn charged forward, disappearing into the Forbidden Forest.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what had happened.
Professor Grubbly-Plank gazed in the direction the Unicorn had disappeared, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed.
"This little guy's been a bit emotional lately," she shook her head and announced helplessly, "In that case, that's enough for today. We'll find another opportunity to observe the Unicorn another day. Everyone, return to the castle now, and we'll have a theory lesson. I'll ask questions about Unicorn, and you'll get extra points for correct answers."
The students started walking back.
Professor Grubbly-Plank was at the back of the group. As he passed Morris, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Morris's sleeve, gently pulling him out of the line.
"You did it, didn't you?" she said bluntly. "I noticed the Unicorn was watching you. Tell me, what bad thing did you do to it?"
"I can see that now, "Morris thought to himself.
As for the bad things he did to the Unicorn... does turning one of its kind into an undead creature count?
Of course, he couldn't answer like that.
Morris hesitated before speaking, "I did indeed frighten that Unicorn."
"But Unicorn have always lived in the Forbidden Forest," Professor Grubbly-Plank said. "How did you scare it?"
Morris shrugged. "It was just an accident."
Professor Grubbly-Plank stared at him for a while, then finally said, "Alright, you naughty child, I won't ask anymore. But I hope you'll try to stay away from Unicorn in your next class."
"Yes, Professor," Morris said.
Afterwards, Professor Grubbly-Plank taught everyone about Unicorn in an empty classroom in the castle.
To her surprise, Morris answered almost all of her questions correctly.
After the Care of Magical Creatures ended, Morris suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had ridden Skeleton Unicorn out for a stroll.
Moreover, the Skeleton Unicorn is currently only Second-Tier Undead Creature.
Now that he has the ability to automatically produce Gap Energy Crystal, he can perform advancement rituals on his undead creatures.
Let's start with the Skeleton Unicorn – after all, it was one of the earliest undead creatures he transformed into.
In the afternoon, Morris returned to the Ship in a Bottle.
He entered the room and saw Skeleton Number One sitting obediently in front of the magic circle of the Gate of Two Realms, working diligently.
In front of it was a glass jar, the space of which was already half full of Gap Energy Crystal.
For the entire night, Skeleton Number One followed Morris's instructions, continuously creating Gap Energy Crystal.
This is the result.
Morris walked over, bent down, picked up the glass jar, weighed it in his hand, and roughly estimated that there were at least fifty or more inside.
He was quite satisfied.
Although the efficiency was not high, the working hours were long enough that they managed to accumulate this quantity.
These skeletons are like natural-born beasts of burden, never eating, never drinking, never sleeping, and never complaining.
Morris put the glass jar back into his robe, patted Skeleton Number One on the shoulder, and said, "Keep going, don't stop."
Skeleton Number One turned around and faced the magic circle, casting Energy Gathering.
Upon seeing this, Morris nodded slightly.
The next steps are clear: increase the number of the Gate of Two Realms magic arrays and skeleton workers, and increase the production of Gap Energy Crystal.
This is a long-term project, so there's no need to rush it.
Morris went to an empty room next door to prepare for the Skeleton Unicorn's advancement ceremony.
This room, which he had recently acquired, was much larger than his bedroom, almost twice the size of the Hogwarts Great Hall.
After setting up the advanced magic circle, Morris waved his hand, and the figure of the Skeleton Unicorn appeared in the center of the magic circle.
"The world of the living has not forgotten you, and the peaceful rest of death is not your final chapter."
As he chanted, he tossed the energy crystals into it.
The crystals instantly transformed into a thick, grayish-black mist, churning and surging as it entered the Skeleton Unicorn's body.
The commotion quickly subsided.
The advancement ceremony concluded successfully.
The Skeleton Unicorn stood there quietly, looking no different than before.
"How are you feeling?" Morris asked.
The Skeleton Unicorn rubbed its horn against his palm and lowered its head slightly.
This is to let him ride on it.
Morris immediately climbed onto the Skeleton Unicorn's back.
The next second, the Skeleton Unicorn rose steadily, carrying him around the room.
Ah, I see.
Morris understood.
The Skeleton Unicorn already had the ability to briefly float when it reached its second stage, and now it has evolved directly into flight.
It's somewhat useful.
However, he already has Skeleton Bone Dragon, so he's not particularly lacking in flying mounts.
"Any other changes?" Morris asked.
The Skeleton Unicorn paused slightly, and its black horn began to emit a ghostly blue light.
