Chapter 1314: Sealed Off (2)
When the elf heard the question, he immediately said, “Oh, so it’s them. To be honest, I’m not very clear about this matter. I only heard that the Moonshine Trading House violated the rules of the Elf King’s previous restriction on the exchange of gems with humans and privately traded with humans. As a result, the trading house was closed down.”
Shen Yanxiao was stunned. Others might not know the origin of the gems in the Moonshine Trading House, but she was very clear about it. She had sent the gems to the shop as an elf, so how did it become a private transaction between the shop and humans?
“Then do you know where the elves are in the Moonshine Trading House?” Shen Yanxiao did not think that the punishment would be as simple as closing the shop.
“Err... this... customer, you should also know that the reason why the Moonshine Tribe was demoted was because of their close relationship with humans. Right now, they are unrepentant and even privately traded gems with humans. According to the rules, the city lord arrested many elves of the Moonshine Tribe, so they should be imprisoned in the dungeon of the city lord’s mansion.” The elf honestly told Shen Yanxiao everything he knew.
Shen Yanxiao could not help but look solemn.
She was very sure that she was the one who gave them all the gems in the Moonshine Trading House. Now that the Moonshine Trading House was bearing such a crime, she was afraid that she could not escape responsibility.
“Thank you.” Shen Yanxiao thanked the elf and left at once.
That elf scratched his head and softly muttered, “Truly, heroes come from the young. She entered the Silvermoon Guards at such a young age.”
Shen Yanxiao left the trading house and immediately contacted Vermilion Bird. Vermilion Bird was already on his way to Jadeite City.
When Shen Yanxiao thought that the elves of the Moonshine Tribe might have been implicated by her and thrown into a dungeon, her heart felt extremely heavy. She did not have the time to wait for Vermilion Bird as she headed towards the city lord’s mansion.
Shen Yanxiao did not look for the city lord directly. Instead, she snuck into the dungeon.
She had to figure out what was going on before she could resolve it.
The dungeon was not as dark and damp as Shen Yanxiao had imagined. The so-called dungeon was in fact a relatively spacious yard where the sunlight could still penetrate through the iron bars. The conditions in the dungeon were also considered neat and tidy.
Due to the nature of elves, the number of criminals was very small. Even if there were, it could not be some heinous criminal. Murder and arson had never happened in the Moon God Continent.
Be it in the past or the present when pollution had spread, even though the elves had been affected mentally, they still had a moral bottom line.
In the dungeon of the city lord’s mansion, there were only two elves standing guard at the entrance. There were no guards inside.
Shen Yanxiao easily snuck in and looked at the huge dungeon. The first few cages were empty.
Before she could reach back, she heard a frivolous voice.
“Don’t look so miserable. The accommodation here isn’t that harsh. Relax, it doesn’t change anything even if you are depressed. Hey, I have fresh fruits here. Do you want one?”
There was a trace of a smile in that voice, without the slightest nervousness. From afar, Shen Yanxiao saw a hand stretching out from the cage on the left not far away. On the hand was a fruit the size of a palm, swaying as it faced the cage.
