Zhao Hai lightly laughed. "Miss Laura is too serious. Later on, I will need much help from the Young Lady."
After Zhao Hai said that, Searle, who had walked out of the room earlier, came back with a big box. This box was around a meter long, half a meter wide, and about thirteen centimeters thick. Moreover, Searle handled the box with care, as if he were holding a newborn baby.
Zhao Hai looked curiously at Searle, then turned his head puzzledly towards Laura and asked, "Miss Laura, what is this?"
Laura smiled. "This is the gift I prepared for Mister."
Searle placed the box softly on the table and opened the lid slowly.
Zhao Hai looked into the box and saw that there was some hay inside it. There were five very large eggs placed on the hay, and each egg was around 40 centimeters long and greater than ten centimeters in diameter. What was more strange was that the color of each egg was different. Their hues were yellow, blue, red, green, and purple.
Zhao Hai was puzzled as he examined the eggs while Green, startled, said, "Virtuous Phantasm colored eggs!"
Gawking, Zhao Hai asked, "Virtuous Phantasm colored eggs? What's that?"
Green looked at the five eggs and explained, "Virtuous Phantasms are special magic beasts and are very rare on the continent. This type of magic beast doesn't have any attack skills of their own.
"However, it has a very unusual ability. They can be used as an auxiliary. So long as a human obtains an egg of a Virtuous Phantasm, once they hatch, they can form a contract with the Virtuous Phantasm slowly. This is how you can use a Virtuous Phantasm. Moreover, they can help their master attract magic elements in order to aid them in battles. An adult Virtuous Phantasm can even turn into a weapon, helmet, or piece of armor. That's why on the continent, there is something known as biological magic staffs or living armor."
Zhao Hai was in a daze. He hadn't thought that there would really be something like this, and couldn't help but look at the eggs with a pair of shining eyes.
Laura, on the other hand, was surprised to find out that Green knew so much about Virtuous Phantasms. Anyone who knew so stuff about Virtuous Phantasms would definitely not be any average person. Low rank warriors and magicians didn't even know the existence of these beasts. She didn't think that Green would know so much about it, which made her a lot more curious as to what was Green's real identity.
Green carefully examined the eggs, sighed, and said, "I am sure that these are Virtuous Phantasm colored eggs. They are different from the other magic beasts eggs because the eggs of Virtuous Phantasms have a natal attribute associated with their color. These eggs should be of the earth element, lightning element, water element, wind element, and fire element, all of which are very rare. Just these eggs alone would have a total value of over fifty thousand gold coins. They probably wouldn't even have a real market price."
Zhao Hai was shocked. He hadn't thought that these eggs would be so unexpectedly precious. No wonder Searle had been so careful when handling the boxes. If these eggs were to be damaged, it would only mean that they were throwing away fifty thousand gold coins.
Zhao Hai gently covered the box and slowly closed his eyes. He sat in his chair and didn't speak for some time. Laura looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and her heart couldn't help but clench.
