Chapter 1172 – Jadeite City (3)
The world of the elves had a distinct hierarchy, not only in the status of the elves and construction of the cities, but also in many phenomena in the city.
In Fragrant Night City, opening a shop was a lowly thing for the elves.
However, in Jadeite City there were many shops. And because of the high level of the elves in the white-level cities, the most common shop in Jadeite City was the weapon shop.
In these weapons shops, the most common product were bows, followed by some sharp daggers and crossbows. There were even some thin swords hanging on the walls. Shen Yanxiao randomly walked into a weapon shop and took a luxurious long sword, she felt that its heft in her hand was extremely light. Shen Yanxiao pulled out the blade from its sheath and frowned slightly.
The blades of the long swords made by the elves were very thin and light. Although it was sharp, it was extremely easy to swing. Unlike the soft sword made by human beings, the swords of the elves had a strong waywardness. Seeing that the scabbard and hilt of each sword was decorated with a large number of gems, Shen Yanxiao immediately understood the usefulness of these swords.
These long swords were not a tool for combat, but just an ornament.
Shen Yanxiao casually glanced at the price of the sword in her hand and was speechless in an instant.
Such a useless sword that was mainly just for decoration was more expensive than the exquisite bow in the shop...
Were there really elves who bought this thing?
"This sword, why is it so expensive?" Just like a curious infant, Shen Yanxiao directly took the sword and asked the elf in the shop.
The elf looked at Shen Yanxiao with a very strange expression.
"There are so many gems on it, it's naturally more expensive." After that, he no longer bothered with Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao recalled what she had heard on the Moonlight Coast. Because of her family’s romantic Third Uncle, the elves of the Moon G.o.d Continent seemed to be no longer trading for gems with humans.
The gems produced on the Moon G.o.d Continent itself were very scarce. In the past, they could trade for gems with human beings, so the price would naturally be relatively stable. But now that the elves had cut off their transactions with the humans who traded gemstones, the price of gemstones in the Moon G.o.d Continent had risen wildly to a terrible point.
A light flashed in Shen Yanxiao’s mind, after which she hurriedly left the weapons shop.
She had limited funds when she came to the Moon G.o.d Continent and did not really think about making a fortune here. But now that such a good opportunity was placed in front of her, she would be a fool if she let it go.
Shen Yanxiao opened her storage ring and looked at the stuff inside. The corner of her mouth evoked a smile.
There was a large number of gemstones inside her storage ring, which she had previously collected from the hands of various local tyrants. Because she had not found a good method to sell them in the Barren Land before, she had just placed them inside her ring.
But now!
The situation was different!
There was a lack of gemstone in the Moon G.o.d Continent; on the other hand, she had a lot of them. What did this mean?
It meant countless crystal coins!
Although Shen Yanxiao did not intend to earn extra money, if she could put these low-quality gems in the hands of the elves in exchange for numerous crystal coins, she could buy a large amount of materials in the Moon G.o.d Continent and send them back to the Radiance Continent to let the people of The Rising Sun City craft weapons!
One should know that there were many magical trees in the Moon G.o.d Continent, and they were definitely the best choice for making staffs and bows.
Thinking back, in the weapons shop of Black City, the bows made with the gilt wood of the Moon G.o.d Continent was already worth millions of gold coins. If Shen Yanxiao could also get a large amount of materials here...
