Chapter 1175 – Moonshine Trading House (3)
“Dear customer, is there anything we can help you with?” One of the elves gripped the rag in his hand and then put his hands behind his back. He stood straight as a ramrod as he welcomed the arrival of their customer in the most perfect state.
The other elf also quietly put away a rag and stood silently.
Although the Moonshine Trading House had fallen, the feelings that these two elves gave off were so elegant and calm, as if all the dilapidated scenes in front of them were just an illusion.
“You are the elves of the Moonshine Tribe?” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes fell on the crescent moon badge hanging on the chests of the two elves. This gleaming badge was worn next to the white badge.
The two elves froze for a bit, and there was more alertness in their eyes.
“Yes.”
Their strangeness did not escape Shen Yanxiao’s eyes. Shen Yanxiao realized that her own inquiry was a bit abrupt.
In Fragrant Night City, the reaction of the elves toward Yue Xi’s family could prove that the glory of the Moonshine Tribe had already vanished. Many elves were repulsed by them, so it was no wonder that they would have such a reaction when she asked such a question
Shen Yanxiao chuckled and said, “I have a bunch of things here, I want to put them up in your trading house, I wonder if it’s possible?”
The two elves apparently did not think that Shen Yanxiao would actually say such a thing; the alertness in their eyes was replaced by astonishment.
“You mean… there is something you want us to sell?” One of the two white elves asked, very surprised.
The Moonshine Tribe no longer had their past glory. Not only were they demoted by the Elf King himself, but they were also completely banished from the Wind City. They fell from the position of the highest-ranking tribe to a high-ranking tribe, and even bore the name of a traitor.
How glorious the Moonshine Tribe was in the past was how miserable they were now.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded her head. She noticed that most of the crystal cabinets in the Moonshine Trading house were vacant. Only one or two crystal cabinets had some bows and potions placed in them. These things were probably products made by the elves of the Moonshine Tribe themselves. Obviously, in Jadeite City, no elves had put their things here to be sold.
Shen Yanxiao’s eyes faintly revealed a gloomy light.
“Yes! Yes! I wonder what dear customer want to put up for sale?” After the shock of the two elves, their eyes immediately flashed with delight.
They could not remember anymore how long it had been since any elves actually entered their trading house. At first, when they were just demoted, there were some elves that would still put their things in their trading house for sale, but when the news of collusion between the Moonshine Tribe and humans spread throughout Jadeite City, the elves who had put up their goods in the trading house all took their things back
Without merchandise, the elves who wanted to buy things would naturally not set foot in their Moonshine Trading house.
The vicious cycle caused the appearance of their trading house that could be seen today.
Shen Yanxiao answered, “It’s a bunch of gemstones.”
“Gemstones?” The two white elves looked at each other and saw shock in each other’s eyes.
Gemstones were an indispensable luxury in the world of the elves. Previously, when humans still supplied them with gemstones, the situation was better. But since the gemstone trade between elves and humans was cut off, the price of the gems in the Moon God Continent began to rise. The gemstones produced in the Moon God Continent itself were scarce, creating a market in short supply.
As a result, in the red-level cities and above, the gem shops in each city became the most popular place for elves.
The two white elves didn’t think that there would be an elf who would run to them to sell gems here!
