Chapter 1175: Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House (3)

“Dear customer, do you need anything?” One of the elves held the rag in his hand and placed his hands behind his back. He straightened his back and welcomed the guests in perfect form.

Another elf quietly put away the rag and stood at one side in silence.

Even though the Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House was in a sorry state, the two elves gave off an elegant and calm feeling. It was as if the dilapidated scene before them was merely an illusion.

“Are you elves of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe?” Shen Yanxiao’s gaze landed on the crescent moon badges hanging on their chests. This sparkling badge was worn right beside the white badge.

The two elves were slightly stunned, and they became more vigilant.

“Yes.”

Their strange behavior did not escape Shen Yanxiao’s eyes. She realized that her previous question was somewhat abrupt. Previously in Fragrant Night City, the elves’ reaction towards Yue Xi and the rest was sufficient to prove that the glory of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe was not present anymore. Many elves had aversion towards them and it was no wonder they had such a reaction when she questioned them.

Shen Yanxiao chuckled and said, “I have a batch of items here that I would like to sell in your trading house. Is that okay?”

The two elves did not expect Shen Yanxiao to say such words and the vigilance in their eyes was replaced by surprise.

“You mean… there’s something you want to sell here?” The white elf was surprised.

The Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe was no longer as glorious as it was in the past. Not only had they been demoted by the Elf King, but they had also been moved out of Wind City. From the highest-ranked tribe, they had fallen to a high-ranked tribe. Furthermore, they were labeled as traitors.

Their glory in the past magnified how miserable they were right now.

“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded. She noticed that most of the crystal cabinets in the Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House were empty, with only one or two of them having some bows and potions placed inside. These items were probably made by the elves of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe. Evidently, there were no elves in Jadeite City that would place their items here for sale.

Shen Yanxiao’s eyes dimmed.

“Yes! Yes! What would you like to sell?” After the two elves were surprised, joy immediately flashed in their eyes.

They could no longer remember how long it had been since an elf entered their trading house. When they were demoted, some elves would place their items for sale in their trading house. However, as the news of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe colluding with humans spread to Jadeite City, those elves who once sold them their items never came back.

Without the goods, the potential buyers would naturally not set foot in the Moons.h.i.+ne Trading House.

This vicious cycle caused the trading house to become what it was today.

Shen Yanxiao said, “It’s a bunch of gems.”

“Gems?” The two white elves looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

Gems were an indispensable luxury in the world of elves. It was still manageable when there was the supply coming from the humans, but ever since the gem trade between humans and elves was cut off, the price of gems in the Moon G.o.d Continent began to rise. The gems produced in the Moon G.o.d Continent were few and far between, creating a market where supply could not meet demand.

As a result, the gem shops in various cities were the most popular places for elves in many upper-level cities.

As a result, they did not expect that an elf would come here to sell gems!
