章 160: The truth about the Black Egg

Seeing the oval object on the table in front of him, Manilyn put on his glasses to get a better view. Suddenly he was startled to be faced with the complexity of that Egg in front of him.

"Oh! Do you know what kind of Egg this is, half-beast?"

"I don't know. Maybe you can tell me?"

"I'll do my best to do that."

Then Manilyn took out from one of the desk drawers a small magnifying loupe and began to analyze the surface of the Black Egg. At the same time as he was inspecting it, the old man gently ran his left hand over the shell and sometimes gave it small thuds, which resonated in a hollow sound.

On this occasion, Luke did not turn away from Manilyn as he did at the turn of the Elixirs of Flamel. He was really as curious about that Egg as it was possible to be.

"Have you been warned about the possibility that this is a Summoning Egg?" inquired Manilyn after finally finishing his first analysis with the magnifying glass.
