We just did a deal yesterday, buying the elves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, he noticed with some surprise that the young men’s expressions suddenly fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! So that guy has already been here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… is this the Sorren Commerce?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you look at the signs when you walk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at the sign outside the commerce and asked, with a helpless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he spoke, he carefully examined them all over again, harboring a suspicion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they together with the two from yesterday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did they get so many tamed elves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… could it be that yesterday’s transaction was a loss for me? Or was I deceived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Cage could say anything more, he noticed that the young men immediately became disappointed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it really is the Sorren Commerce!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh… It’s been tapped out here, let’s go to another place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they took the elf and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… I didn’t say I wouldn’t take your elves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they gave him a pitying look and shook their heads,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not dealing anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, they left directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage was left bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still wanted to ask about their relationship with Demacia and the origins of these elves, but they had already run off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And also…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was with that last pitying look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage suddenly felt a bit irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be… the transaction was really a loss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… he thought he should have profited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Cage had a flash of inspiration,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many of these tamed elves are there… and how many came to Fengye City with those two yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to have realized something, Cage’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly stood up and ordered the butler,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, accompany me to check out the other commerces!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sorren Commerce’s base was at the core of underground trading in Fengye City, hiding many well-known black market commerces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cage naturally had dealings with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, with the butler’s accompaniment, Cage arrived at another black market commerce near the Sorren Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he got there, he saw several carriages speeding away, and the style of those carriages… he knew it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The president of that commerce stood at his door with a beaming face, clearly thinking he got a great deal as he watched them leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly greeted him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Adolf! Good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other saw Cage and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s Mr. Cage, good morning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage didn’t hesitate and asked directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Adolf, did you just do business with those people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to the gradually distant carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adolf grinned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, big business! Cage, this auction, our Golden Apple Trading Company is definitely going to surpass your Sorren Commerce!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cage was moved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you trade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adolf just smiled without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage snorted and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tamed elves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Adolf’s smile froze, his expression startled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage didn’t explain but continued asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you trade something with them?

Those people really had no vision. I just used a fake divine artifact to exchange for a tamed elf, haha, struck it big.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… they were too picky, rummaging through my warehouse, and I barely set them a trap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The president of that commerce boasted smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went on to ask from one commerce to another, becoming more and more astonished, shocked to find that almost all the underground black markets had received similar deals…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were done last night, others, this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the traded items varied wildly, with elves sometimes traded for elves, sometimes for equipment, and yes… in a minority of cases, for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In general… it seemed that tamed elves had suddenly become worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in total, the number of tamed elves they had traded away amounted to nearly fifty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What troubled him even more was that among these tamed elves, there were actually female elves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the Eternal Lord!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did all these tamed elves come from?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And… why must there be females?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cage’s expression was somewhat twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first thought was that this was terrible, as this meant that his plan to get rich off those elves was likely to go bankrupt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many tamed elves on the market, making huge profits would be impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention… other slave commerces even got females!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he barely remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least… on alert, he had signed a Blood Covenant and left some contingencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this calmness finally turned to panic when he learned of another news:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A tamed elf bought by a Slave Trading Company… committed suicide?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe78ea08f1e5cea9f41b02e7f4d3ef174e30f03defe43d73cb00af727ec0d731","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-296","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-294",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
