Chapter 1316: Sealed Off (4)

“Err… alright, I won’t force you.” Shen Jing seemed to have realized that the other party was in a bad mood and tactfully did not insist.

“Oh right, you mentioned that the one who traded gems with you was an elf. Then why did the city lord lock you up? Wouldn’t it be fine if you explain it to him directly?” The elves from the Moonshine Tribe had mentioned the reason they came in.

At that time, that customer came in a hurry, and even though there had always been jewels in the trading house, he had not appeared for half a year. During that time, it was always a mythical beast that came to take out the crystal coins. We did not even know the names of the two of them, so where could we find them?”

If they could not find any evidence, their words would not be credible.

Everyone knew that the supply of gems in the Lunar Continent was very small and only humans could provide a large number of gems.

The business of the Moonshine Trading House had been extremely bleak. However, half a year ago, a large number of gems suddenly
