Chapter 477 Reform and Opening-up
In other words, do you know why the elves who are cut off from us humans are so quickly dying out after coming into contact with us? That's because you elves are too mysterious, too rare. It is precisely because of the rarity, the rarity, and the mystery that the rich and noble people of our human race will be proud to own you, or have your appendages, in recognition of their noble status. And after the high-level people use you to commend themselves, the middle-level people will also start to imitate, and then the low-level people will continue to be fanatical about it. β
"If the high-level people have a living goblin, then the mid-level people can use having a dead goblin as a benchmark for their identity. If the people at the bottom really don't have money, then they can have a piece of fairy wings, fairy clothes, and even one hand and one foot of a fairy to recognize their difference. β
In order to obtain all kinds of elf products, in order to obtain anything related to elves, humans will begin to frantically encroach on the territory of the elf clan until the elf clan is wiped out. I've stated again and again that this is our human nature, and maybe a few people won't be manipulated by this nature, but I can't speak for all of us, and you elves don't have to think that our human race will change this nature, because it's impossible. β
In this way, we can very easily dissect why the elves perished, and why we humans are crazy about attacking the elves. That's because you're so scarce. The more you isolate yourself, the more scarce you become. Because of the scarcity, each of you flower goblins has naturally imprinted a price in our human hearts. That's right, in the eyes of us humans, you are not just living beings, but a pile of gold coins that can fly, talk, run and jump. β
It's actually hurtful to say that.
After all, saying that people are a kind of plaything in front of others, I believe that no one can stand this kind of feeling, right?
But now, in order to be able to explain the problem more thoroughly, Arrow can only be tougher. What's more, he has now taken poison, and he bets that the queen in front of him should not cut off her head in anger all of a sudden, right?
Well...... Probably not.
As Arrow's words fell, the fairy queen's expression remained at the moment when she smiled elegantly, and it seemed that nothing had changed at all.
Iero kept reminding herself that this was because the elves were born with a smile, and now smiling meant that she was thinking about what she was saying with a blank expression!
But...... I can't stand the "torture" of this smile! The physiological habits of each race are indeed different, and sometimes you really need to study it yourself to understand what other races are thinking!
According to you, if isolation does not stop you humans from invading us...... So what can we do to preserve the elves? β
At this, Eero let out a long sigh of relief.
After all, his previous firmness was not in vain, isn't it? A queen is a queen, and she can still speak well!
Arrow patted his chest lightly and said with a smile: "(Fairy language) Since we know the status of your flower goblins in the minds of our human beings, and also know the weakness of our human character, then on the contrary, wouldn't it be better to take action directly with this weakness?" β
"(Fairy language) open, vigorously open! We must carry out reform and opening up! β
Since it has been determined that there is no way to prevent humans from entering their own world, it is better to take the initiative to enter the human world. Learn from human strengths and avoid your own weaknesses! We humans have little interest in the things that can be found everywhere in our daily lives, and once we humans realize that you elves are not a scarce commodity, we humans will naturally not have the mentality of chasing you. β
Of course, opening up also needs to be gradual, not in one step! While maintaining openness and taking the initiative to enter the human world, it is also necessary to maintain the strength of its own force. I believe that Her Majesty and your people are not yet one percent strong against our group, right? At this juncture, you need to be able to keep your own combat strength strong while remaining open! Only when the ubiquitous and unprovoked attributes are attached to your elven clan will humanity completely lose interest in you. In this way, we can ensure that the goblin clan will no longer have to live this kind of life of hiding in Tibet for thousands of years, and it can also ensure that your clan will never be extinct because of us humans! β
The fairy queen lowered her head, as if she was constantly pondering the truth of the words that came out of the human mouth.
All the flower fairies around them also turned their eyes to their leaders at this time, a little panicked, and a little puzzled as quickly as to what this human just said meant.
In the midst of this whispering, Arro was finally quite sure that these flower goblins must not have experts in economics.
β¦β¦ But when you think about it, it's a matter of course.
"Human, you're really good at. It's the same routine you've been using for thousands of years. β
It's a pity that for people who don't have an economic concept in their minds, talking about sustainable development is probably itself a kind of operation to play the piano on the cow.
The smile on the corner of the fairy queen's mouth blew again, and her gaze was gentle and tactful: "(Fairy language) Into your human world? Do you want us to go to your human cities every once in a while? No matter how beautiful what you say is, no matter how reasonable it sounds at first glance, the so-called 'reform and opening up' is just a kind of nonsense. Once we elves enter your human world, then what awaits us will be capture, enslavement, and slaughter. β
Hearing the last sentence of the queen's words, the thousands of flower goblins around them began to talk one after another, and the eyes of each goblin began to show panic and nervousness.
But for Arrow, he was slightly relieved.
After all, now the fairy queen didn't directly ask to make him into flower fertilizer. As long as the discussion can continue, then there is still a solution to the problem.
(Fairy words) Hahaha! Catch? Enslavement? Slaughter? Well, from the general point of view, it seems that it is. But, my Majesty, I don't mean that you should line up and go around our human city every once in a while. This is as ineffective as beating a greedy jackal with fat. β
Ai Luo raised a finger, gently pressed it against his lips, and smiled: "(Fairy language) The reform and opening up I know, what I mean by going out, is ...... (Anthropology) trade. β
After a slight pause, Arrow nodded slightly. Wait until all the whispers of the flower fairies around him have stopped, and then continueβ
"I don't know if there's a specific term in your elven language about the way to 'use a particular medium to exchange items between objects.' If not, in our human language, this method is called 'trade'. β
"Simply put, I have what you need, and you have what I need. Therefore, we do so by exchanging things in our hands with each other. Once this exchange has taken shape, I may not have anything I want from you for a short time, but I have what you want. In this case, we agree to use something as an intermediary or, in our human parlance, 'money'. You can exchange money for what I have, and when you have what I want in your hand in the future, I don't have to exchange goods for goods, but can directly use 'currency' to exchange. β
"When this kind of mutual exchange has formed a certain scale, we humans call this kind of behavior 'trade'."
"And trade is often the most direct and easiest way to communicate between an ordinary region and other regions."
Rose on the side snorted slightly, and said slowly, "(Fairy words) You humans don't have what we want. In the same way, you humans only want to capture us, to use our bodies as 'trade' in your human mouths. β
In response, Arrow smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "(Fairy language) Really? I'm sorry, I don't think so. For example, this leaf cup in my hand, this is what you made out of your hands, right? Come to think of it, you haven't had much contact with humans before, so it's impossible to prepare such a human-sized cup. β
"The shape of this leaf cup is very simple, the lines are simple and natural, and I can even feel the texture and veins on the leaf when I hold it in my hand, giving people a very cool natural feeling. At the same time, this cup has not been deformed after playing with it in my hand for so long, so you can imagine that there is a certain degree of sturdiness. This commodity, as far as I know, does not exist in our human world. Even if you were able to launch this leaf cup, I believe you would be able to sell it out of our human aristocracy. β
"In the same way, the second drink I drank just now shouldn't have any toxins in it, right? Well, think about it, too, you have already poisoned me once, there is no need to poison me a second time. The drink tasted more refreshing and tasty than the venom I drank the first time, and it didn't make me feel cold. The light but rich finish completely outperforms some so-called high-end wines. If this kind of drink is sold in our human world, I believe that the profit will definitely not be less. β
