Lex was the last to arrive. By the time she came, Saleen had already learned about all the events which happened in his absence. Metatrin City was developing well. Since it was winter now, the port was frozen, so there was no business. There were several merchant camps in the city though. On land the route leading to Phoenix was still in operation.
The people from the Tiffany family had organized a large merchant convoy carrying hundreds of magic beasts. These magic beasts were camel horses which had rough skin and thick flesh, they could simply survive on hay. With these hundreds of camel horses the people from the Tiffany family could still conduct business and sustain the operations of their shop in Metatrin City.
The other trading firms emulated them causing the price of such low-cost magic beasts to increase by several fold.
