Chapter 1124: Elven Attention
The commercial exchanges between many human city-states have not only promoted the effective flow of special products and commodities between various regions. At the same time, in this increasingly prosperous trade, the civilization between human city-states has also made great progress with the prosperity of commerce.
In one city-state, excellent skills, along with prosperous trade routes, were learned and integrated by another. And the excellent inheritance and knowledge of the other party can also be passed on to another city-state. In this way, the communication and trade between the city-states led to the integration of civilizations between each other to varying degrees.
In addition, the emergence of war made military skills, because of the reasons for the war and the delicate relationship between the city-states, so that military skills were put in the first place by all the city-states in the first place.
Whether it is fighting with those primitive and ferocious nomadic tribes, or fighting between city-states, it has made rapid progress in military-related civilizations. In addition, the military, in turn, to a certain extent, has led to the improvement and progress of civilization as a whole.
Therefore, in such an environment and pattern, human civilization has begun to be greatly improved. In addition, the place where human beings lived was gradually becoming more prosperous due to prosperous commercial activities. At this time, human civilization, they also began to enter the field of vision of elves. The booming commercial activities have aroused the interest of the forest elves, who are almost equivalent to the seclusion of the forest elves.
Because the elves saw a new path and direction for accumulating magical resources from human business activities.
At this moment, the human city-states are actually no more than the elves in terms of population. Although the combined population of humans is more than ten times that of elves, they are scattered and settled in various human city-states. The strongest, in terms of population, is no more than 40,000 people. A small number of city-states are hovering between twenty or thirty thousand, or even thirty or forty thousand. Most human city-states have a population size of only about 10,000 or 20,000, and there are even tiny city-states with only a few thousand people.
Compared with the human beings at this time, the forest elves who live in the Forest of Life have about 50,000 people in terms of population. They still live in a city, which can also be regarded as a unique magical civilization city-state!
So, just compare the balance of power between the two sides at this moment.
The city-state built by the forest elves can be regarded as undoubtedly powerful compared to any human city-state. Compared to all humans, the power of the forest elves is still the undisputed first!
The advanced and developed civilization and the uniqueness of the magical civilization make the elves not only have a great advantage in civilization, but also far surpass all humans in terms of quality of life. In the same way, the sources of the things they make, including refined food, weapons, armor, arrows, cloth, art, etc., are very rich. Because human civilization at this time has not yet appeared such a diversified variety of commodities, their degree of civilization determines that the commodities produced by human beings at this time are absolutely not rich in abundance.
Their food processing is still at a very low stage, which can fill the belly, but it is definitely not delicious. However, with the gradual intensification of commercial activities, species and goods from different regions have been able to circulate rapidly. In the same way, human beings also have a further demand for more refined food processing. However, the emergence and improvement of these things still need time to precipitate, and it is not the mutual circulation of species that can make the standard and quality of human life rise to a new level in a short period of time.
Compared to the humans who are still bitter, the forest elves are undoubtedly nobles among the nobles.
Their unique magical civilization uses the power of magic to drive and improve all walks of life in the civilization. Therefore, whether it is smelting, textile, or the cultivation and processing of crops. The civilization and skills of the elves are by no means comparable to today's humans. However, the prosperity of human commerce made the elves think that through trade with humans, the humans, who were much larger than their elves in terms of population size, could find the magical resources that the elves needed. Gold, silver, art, and other things were nothing compared to the treasured magical resources.
From the beginning to the end, the forest elves only needed magical resources, and other than that, their needs for other ordinary resources were not so strong. At least, with the productivity and civilization of the elves at this moment. The demand and consumption of all kinds of ordinary resources are not all the strength of elves. However, compared to the human beings who are short of goods, if the goods of the elves appear in the human market, they can completely subvert and determine the prosperity and decline of a city-state!
However, the forest elves are not interested in whether or not they will start to contact humans and engage in trade. It's not entirely decided, and the argument between the elves will have an outcome.
Although, the elves are not completely strangers to humans. However, the problems among human beings and at this moment, compared to the simple and simple elves, the personality of human beings is still too complex and too varied. This makes the elves completely hate contact with humans, even if a series of things that happen in humans are clearly seen by the elves. However, the impression of human beings in the minds of the elves has not improved over time, but because of the elves' understanding of humans, they have become more and more disgusted by the elves.
In the elves' minds, humans are too complex and too difficult to deal with. Moreover, human beings are very bloodthirsty, savage, and primitive, and their mentality of looking at problems is simple and crude.
Moreover, because of the gradual rise of human city-states, human civilization has continued to gain more benefits and benefits because of commerce. However, it also makes the already changeable and complex character of human beings more complex. Because of commerce and the smooth flow of trade, human beings have gained so many benefits from commercial activities, which has enabled human civilization to begin to progress and develop rapidly. But at the same time, humans look at problems like merchants, and this is one of the reasons why elves are disgusted.
At the same time, there is another reason, that is, the total human population today is at least ten times more than the number of their elves.
Although there is no magic among humans, their civilization is not worth mentioning at all compared to the excellent and developed elven magic civilization. However, this is not to say that human civilization is completely useless. On the contrary, the elves are clearly aware of the tenacity and resilience of humans, and at the same time perceive the threat of humans. At the very least, humans are qualified to be a nuisance and threat to the elves when it comes to human reproduction.
Although they are born, they can enjoy a long lifespan. Their talents are stronger than those of humans, and compared to them, the short life span and short life of human beings are too short compared to those of elves. Perhaps, among the elves, the life of an elf has just begun, and the human has ended his short life.
However, in terms of population reproduction, they are completely overwhelmed by the entire elves.
And this ability to reproduce the population quickly is a talent that elves envy the most. Such a long time has passed, and the elves have only reached the level of 50,000 people in terms of population reproduction. And the human beings at the same time, not counting the cause of the Great Flood, human beings were in the same time as the elves. Their total population exceeds 500,000.
And this number, for the elves, is completely miraculous.
They couldn't imagine how long it would take for the elves to reach a population of more than half a million. And for human beings, it only takes a short time to surpass this number, and even this number will be able to double on the basis at a faster speed in a short period of time because of the passage of time!
