A shimmer of red and gold light escaped her palm as she pulled out an egg the size of a watermelon, covered in cloudy white and crimson patches that seemed to swirl faintly.
The guests looked interested, their gazes fixing on the item as soon as the item was taken out.
The hostess smiled knowingly, letting the murmurs spread for a few seconds before she began her explanation in a clear tone. "This is a rare phoenix egg, a monster with the potential of reaching Overlord Tier.
Her voice carried with a confident rhythm as she continued. "As explained in the file, unlike other aerial monsters, phoenixes feed exclusively on mana crystals, meaning their maintenance is quite high."
Her words drew a few nervous chuckles from some tables.
"Now, do not assume a phoenix is an obedient companion simply because you bonded with it. They are prideful and intelligent. Their loyalty must be earned, not bought."
