My necromancer career begins at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 Tier 3 Canned Goods and Fireworks

It took Maurice about a week to prepare the twelve skeleton dogs.

At the same time, he also conveniently transformed the unicorn corpse into an undead creature.

As expected, the undead unicorn's soul had dissipated, leaving it much like a first-tier skeletal dog—dull and dazed, only able to barely comprehend the most basic commands.

In addition, in preparation for the canned food's advancement ritual, Maurice would draw some of his own blood almost every day and store it in a special way for later use.

One night in mid-July.

Morris arrived at the back mountain of a nearby ordinary wizard village, preparing to perform an advancement ceremony for his pet.

This is a moss-covered open space, rarely visited by people.

While he was setting up the magic circle, Canned Food was very excited, sticking close to Morris's feet and jumping around.

"Stay away from me, canned food... Don't pull at my robe, I know you're happy..."

""

Meow~~

Meanwhile, fireworks lingered in the sky, serving as a warning of any disturbances in the surrounding area.

Finally, the magic circle was completed.

This advanced magic circle is quite special; it is entirely composed of Morris's blood, which he has stored for many days.

The dark red blood fell onto the moss, but did not congeal; it gleamed with an eerie, viscous sheen under the moonlight.

"Alright," Morris gave the can a light kick on the rear. "Get to the middle, you stupid cat."

The canned goods have already undergone an upgrade ceremony and are familiar with the process.

Upon receiving permission, it immediately trotted to the very center of the magic circle, obediently lay down, its eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

The comeback begins today!

As Morris chanted, the magic circle lit up, and the blood began to flow slowly.

If a passing wizard were to witness this scene, he would undoubtedly be horrified, mistaking it for a dark wizard's spellcasting.

Morris took out the energy crystal he had prepared beforehand and put it into the crystal.

In an instant, magic filled the entire magic circle.

He noticed that in the past, interstitial energy crystallized into a white mist.

This energy crystal, formed from the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone, is completely different. It has transformed into something invisible and colorless, which should be the purest form of magic power.

But regardless of the type, it will eventually be transformed into gray-black mist.

In other words, it is a catalyst that enables undead creatures to advance.

The ceremony went very smoothly.

After the magic circle was fully charged, it burst out with a strong airflow, and the gray-black mist swirled and rolled, penetrating into the can.

This absorption process was exceptionally long.

It took almost an hour for the gray mist to be completely absorbed by the can.

"There should be some changes this time," Morris nodded.

Although outwardly it still looks like the same undead cat, he doesn't believe that it hasn't gained new abilities after absorbing such a huge amount of energy.

At that moment, the fireworks in the sky also flew down and landed on a rock nearby, carefully examining their colleague.

The canned food looked at Maurice blankly, "Meow?"

"Um?"

Morris paused, then frowned slightly. "What do you mean you didn't have any special feelings?"

The canned food itself seemed confused. It looked down at its paws, flicked its tail, and finally let out a dejected whimper.

'

Morris remained silent for a moment.

Well, he's wasted another opportunity for an advancement ceremony.

But then again, where does all the energy that the canned food absorbs go? Is it eaten?

Fireworks nearby let out a gloating shout.

Clearly, it felt quite pleased to see the undead cat, which always went against it, getting its comeuppance.

"Aww!" The canned food suddenly turned its head and glared fiercely at the fireworks.

We're all undead creatures, so why are you able to easily acquire magical abilities? And why do you always act so superior?

unfair!

This mixture of resentment, anger, and intense jealousy instantly ignited the can.

Morris suddenly sensed a strange magical fluctuation emanating from the can.

then.

"laugh"

A strange sound suddenly rang out.

Morris turned his head and saw that a cluster of flames had suddenly sprung up on the left wing of his owl.

The fireworks suddenly bounced off the rocks, hastily flapping their fiery wings.

Morris immediately waved his wand, "Clear Water Like a Spring."

A stream of water gushed from the tip of his wand, precisely extinguishing the flames on the fireworks' wings.

Morris stroked his chin and looked at the can.

Is this the power of canned goods?

That's it?

Aside from its somewhat abrupt appearance, it looked like just an ordinary flame no matter how you looked at it.

At this moment, the canned food was filled with joy.

Even if its abilities are weak, it is no longer an ordinary cat!

Hands on hips.

Unfortunately, an angry owl immediately manipulated the shadows, suspending it in mid-air and forcing it to confront the harsh reality.

Morris stopped the commotion, waved his wand, summoned a dry branch as thick as an arm, and placed it in front of the can. "Try to light this."

"Meow! (Yes, ma'am)"

The canned food immediately perked up and went to the dry branch, staring intently at it.

A minute passed.

The branches remained unchanged.

"Meow!?"

No, no, it must be that its method is wrong.

The can kept circling the branch, but the branch still showed no sign of catching fire.

Seeing this, Maurice shook his head.

It seems that even with such a weak ability, the canned food cannot be used reliably.

"Alright, alright." He patted the can's head. "Accept reality and go play somewhere else. Anyway, I never had any hope for you."

can:"!!!"

Morris set up the advanced ritual magic circle again.

With time running out and the task at hand, he planned to complete the fireworks' advancement ceremony as well.

Fireworks progress much more smoothly than canned goods.

Instead of using the remaining Philosopher's Stone energy crystal, Morris used the gap energy crystals he had saved up at Hogwarts.

Just as he had guessed, the second advancement ritual for the fireworks required at least three times more interstitial energy crystals than the first, completely depleting his reserves.

However, Morris was still very satisfied with the result.

The original ability to manipulate shadows in fireworks has been greatly enhanced, not only increasing their intensity but also adding new functions.

Modern fireworks can summon multiple clones made entirely of shadow.

The clone can provide the main body with additional vision, and there are no restrictions. As long as the fireworks are not actively canceled, it can continue to exist.

This is a very useful skill.

With this ability, Maurice could have several pairs of eyes watching his surroundings at the same time.
