The stream of people on the Moonlight Coast was busy pa.s.sing through the checkpoint. No one had noticed that there were two pet.i.te children in the midst of the people who had just come down from one of the merchant ships.
"Lord Shen, please wait for a moment. My people are now preparing and in a short while you can pa.s.s through the checkpoint of the elves with us." The one responsible for escorting Shen Yanxiao was an old shopkeeper of the Qilin Clan. He had been responsible for the transactions between the Qilin Clan and the elves of Moon G.o.d Continent.
This time, Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird joined their caravan. Qi Xia had carefully explained to him what to do, and the shopkeeper naturally did not dare to neglect.
"Thank you for the trouble you’ve taken." Shen Yanxiao nodded gently. Under Xiu’s power, her appearance did not look any different from human beings. Vermillion Bird had also given himself into the appearance of an ordinary human child. Even a very powerful elf would probably not find any abnormalities.
The elves’ inspection was very careful, but the preparation of the people of Qilin Clan was very thorough. Only, the guarding elves showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird, these two "human" children.
The elves were arrogant, but they were not bad in nature. They hated humans’ craftiness, but they did not take a part for the whole. For human children, the elves were much friendlier.
"The sea is not calm, why do you have to take these two children along with you?" A handsome white elf said in a disapproval.
One of the people of the Qilin Clan smiled and replied, "No one will take care of them at home, that’s why I brought them along."
"Then pay more attention to them." The elf took another look at Shen Yanxiao and Vermillion Bird; he didn't care much about the Mini Dragon and Little Phoenix clung on both of them.
Human beings were the most vulnerable among the eight races, but they were capable of signing a contract with the powerful magical beasts. The elves naturally treated these two stuffed toys as the magical beast of Vermillion Bird and Shen Yanxiao.
Over here, the people of the Qilin Clan were going through the checkpoint. On the other side, a human being had a conflict with the an elf guard.
"Why won't you let us pa.s.s? We have no other purpose, wasn’t it all right before?" A chubby young man was really anxious to negotiate with the elves in front of him. But the two handsome elves had a cold expression on and their faces were full of impatience.
"During this period, all humans who traded gems are not allowed to enter." One of the elf said in an expressionless face.
"Why?!" The fat man obviously could not accept this fact. He had traveled across the ocean and finally arrived at the Moon G.o.d Continent. He had been antic.i.p.ating a sum of money, but then he was suddenly told that he could not enter the Moon G.o.d Continent.
Shen Yanxiao turned to watch the situation over there, and there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
The elves didn’t like money. The most popular gold coins in the Radiance Continent had the same value as stones in the Moon G.o.d Continent. Therefore, people who came to the Moon G.o.d Continent to do business would not directly use gold coins for a transaction. They would choose the things that the elves liked.
The gleaming gemstones were once the favorite stuff of the elves, and many people traded gems with the elves in exchange for different goods of the Moon G.o.d Continent.
Apart from gemstones, plant seeds and food that were unique to the Radiance Continent were also used as trading goods with the elves.
Although the Moon G.o.d Continent was also very suitable for plant growth, the elves were arrogant in nature. It was unrealistic for them to have their face to the ground and back to the sky[1] and clear a wide area of gra.s.sland to cultivate and farm.
Just imagine, a hard-working, handsome male elf sweating profusely in the fields?
That was absolutely a scene that could shatter people’s image of the elves.
[1] When farmers are doing farm work in the field, they bow their heads and bend their waists, so their face is facing the ground while their back is facing the the sky. This sentence describes the hard work of the farmers.
