The contact between humans and elves began in such a special environment.

For the elves, they undoubtedly know about humans, and they have known about their existence since a very early age. They knew about the existence of humanity in the years before the Flood. It's just that at that time, they didn't have the idea and psychology of contact with human beings. At that time, the elves were far less powerful than they are now, and the population was much smaller than now, no matter what kind of psychology they had, the elves did not have contact with humans at that time.

Of course, they never rose up at that time, trading with humans, thus using the vast human power of humans to find magical resources for the elves.

Just because of the elves at that time, their magical civilization was just starting, and the demand for magical resources was not as great as it is now. Therefore, contact with humans is not valued by elves. Moreover, at that time, the human beings themselves did not show the advantage of having to let the elves touch.

And when the flood passed, both humans and elves suffered varying degrees of loss. Compared with the elves, humanity almost sank and perished for a time. And the magic resources that the elves had stored in the past years were all consumed due to a great flood. Therefore, after the Great Flood passed, the elves, who were desperately in need of magical resources, began a new round of external exploration.

Because of this great flood, the barren world was suddenly added with a lot of new resources that had never been seen or heard of. And there are many types, and the results of the elves' preliminary exploration have also learned a slightly considerable reserve size. However, although the magical civilization of the elves is advanced, it is by no means advanced to the point of omnipotence.

Some magical resources that are easy to explore and mine, elves can naturally easily mine, but some places that are not easy to mine. Even elves can't collect too many magical resources. Their population is too small, though they are a powerful city-state compared to many human city-states. However, when it comes to the type and quantity of magical resources they need, the lack of elves is becoming more and more overstretched.

At this time, the explorers and mages of the elves who explored the outside world were surprised to find that the former civilizations were backward and barbaric humans. After experiencing a great flood, it became more and more prosperous after the disaster. Their civilization has made rapid progress, and the speed at which they have regained their successive civilizations is also very fast, and they have not only recreated civilization in a very short period of time. On the basis of this, the development is quite strong, and the progress of their civilization is very fast, even the elves are surprised to see it.

However, these are nothing in the eyes of the elves, and the civilizations between the two sides are not comparable at all.

However, it is the interesting things that interest the elves in the human city-states. For example, in human society, the increasingly prosperous commercial trade is of great interest to the elves. Of course, their interest is only in the prosperous business itself, and for those goods and things that are yellow and white, it is not worth the level of the elves to be tempted.

What they care about is the business itself.

Because the elves saw that human beings brought different products and commodities between places to different places through trade routes through commercial trade activities. The circulation between commodities has made human civilization begin to develop vigorously because of this golden route. These commercial routes are equivalent to blood vessels, revitalizing all human beings. And because of these 'blood vessels', human beings continue to deliver nutrients, and their own civilization continues to grow and develop.

As a result, the elves developed a kind of contact with humans, which led to commercial trade. Let the human beings with a huge population base collect the magical resources they need for them, and what they pay is nothing more than gold, silver and other 'worthless' things. These days, these are really nothing to the civilization of the elves themselves. The development of their civilization is not highly dependent on these things, except for food, cloth and other things related to life. Gold and silver, in the civilization of the elves, are just some pretended ornaments and the like. It is not the legal tender for trade settlement in the daily life of elves.

Gold and silver, in the realm of the elves, is such a status. Their fiat currency is a stone with traces of magical elements, beautifully processed by the elves. Moreover, this stone has a variety of effects, and the texture itself is very hard and not easy to break. It is also because the elves are a magical civilization that this magic stone, which the elves call 'magic stones', is used as their own legal tender and used for various daily settlements!

Although the elves also mine gold, silver, gems and the like. However, it is more often used as decorations or building materials. The special structure of civilization makes their thinking and daily form fundamentally different from that of human beings in the outside world. However, trading with humans requires the use of things like gold, silver, or precious stones.

These are the values of ordinary things in the elven realm, but in human society, they are things that they are after. Although the civilization of the elves is very advanced, the advanced level is also limited. They are able to produce goods that are incomparably richer than those of humans, but there is a limit. Trade with humans, and perhaps at the beginning, they were able to rely on the advanced nature of their civilization to dump goods on the human city-states. However, when they come into contact with humans, they only use humans to buy the magical resources they need. It is difficult to compete with the goods produced by the human world itself with those produced by the elves.

In other words, elves are not necessarily willing to buy goods produced by humans. Humans, on the other hand, have a strong need for all goods produced by the elves.

However, as the two sides continue to deepen their relationship, humans will also discover the specific price of what the elves have designated for purchase. Although it is not necessarily, it is possible to truly understand the specific value of these things. However, from the fact that the elves need such things that humans do not understand at all, they can also guess the specific price of the things that the elves need.

At that time, the elves may not necessarily continue to buy all kinds of resources from humans at low prices. At that time, human beings must find ways to make up for the losses they have suffered in the commercial trade with elves for a long time. Even if they are in fact, they are still earned, but greedy and suspicious humans are bound not to think so.

They will not be satisfied with the status quo, but will continue to try, even try to reverse the situation, which is completely unfavorable for them.

Either through war, or by some means of supply.
