Sure enough, after the price broke ten thousand, the nobles stopped bidding.
The beauty of the elves, along with their innate close connection to nature, has always been popular in the slave market.
Where demand exceeds supply, there are often huge profits; ordinary elf slaves can be sold for thousands of gold coins, and top-quality ones can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. There have been cases where elves have been sold for more than ten thousand.
The massive profits brought about the prosperity of the slave hunting industry. Every year, countless slave hunting parties delve deep into the Elf Forest.
Despite the Elf Kingdom's strenuous crackdown, it couldn't curb human greed. Even the tightest guard has its loopholes.
Most slave hunting parties never return, but in the end, some slave hunting is successful. Each year sees the emergence of dozens, even hundreds of elf slaves.
