Chapter 1077: High Elf's Vigilance
The changes that have taken place in the main material world are all seen by Jiang Ning's eyes, in every detail. In the same way, what will happen in the future of the main material world is also clearly known to him. In this universe, the fate of all living beings in the end is inseparable from his eyes. He is free to peep into their fate and future, and can also guide and change. However, most of the time, Jiang Ning will not be like this, he will not unscrupulously modify his fate drastically, but he will guide him in a very small place, and then change his fate according to the situation.
What happened to the wizards and the new fate that the High Elves were going to face was also constantly changing because of Jiang Ning's promotion. Change where he wants to be. However, in the process of change, he does not interfere with their development, but silently watches the changes that take place there, and makes sure that the general trend does not change.
He looked at the High Elves and changed his old way of life, and began to stop blindly ignoring the outside world and continue to live a hermit-like life. But after the huge barrier that surrounded the entire territory and hidden elven kingdom was dispersed, the High Elves finally began to contact the outside world, either passively or actively. They collected information about humanity from the Old World and the New World, and analyzed it to figure out the strength of humanity. As a result, it was naturally the result of the High Elves being alert, even vigilant.
Unconsciously, humanity is developing faster than the High Elves could have imagined. Moreover, with their continuous exploration of new shipping routes, colonization of the New World, and the wealth and various resources they obtained, the pace of development of human civilization was accelerated. At a very fast speed, they quickly moved away from the eyes and thoughts of the High Elves, and quickly got rid of the state of barbarism, and marched towards civilization.
Although, compared to the glorious and long-standing civilization of the High Elves, human beings are still very immature and weak. However, after analyzing and understanding the current state of humanity, the High Elves were already vigilant about the rapid progress of humanity. This rapid race and speed of progress is wary of the elves, because the elves have already learned a lesson in the past.
In Arda, at the time of the First Age, humanity awakened from the East and eventually migrated to the West. They followed behind the High Elves, learned the knowledge of the High Elves, and, at the hour of the Second Age, began their rapid development. Not only have they completed the rapid progress of civilization, but they are also in the process of development, gradually getting rid of the influence of the High Elves. And at the final moment, the human race completely surpassed the high elves, whether it was the size of the population or the degree of development of civilization, they were not inferior to the elves at that time.
On the other hand, the elves of that period no longer had an advantage over humans. The terrible wars of the First Age, the wars of the Second Age, and the various reasons that followed, caused the elves to lose their vitality and glory again. They were completely prostrate in the shadow of humanity, suppressed by humanity, and could no longer move.
The High Elves, though not experienced the history of that period or afterward. However, they learned from the people from Middle-earth about everything that had happened in Middle-earth during that time. And, in another world, the world where wonderful celestial movements meet. They have also witnessed the rise of humanity for a long time. Although, they did not experience the tragic war like their people, their own vitality was greatly damaged, and in the end they could no longer suppress the rise of humanity, so they were completely reduced to a marginal role. However, this did not prevent the High Elves from clearly understanding the terrifying potential and intimidating speed of development that belonged to humanity.
Although they have an advantage over humans, they do not have any advantages in the face of the frighteningly large population base of humans. Now, in this new world, with the discovery of continents, unfamiliar seas are recorded on the charts of human beings one by one as human sailboats sail by. All the riches and resources of the New World follow the sailing ships to the old world, where there are huge human beings. It is also because of wealth and resources, that era called the Great Voyage and Great Colonization by human beings, the growth rate of human civilization itself was unexpectedly amazing and fast.
Their thousand-year-long history of development has been developed under the gaze of the High Elves. Therefore, the High Elves know very well what human civilization has developed in this short period of thousands of years. Because of the tremendous power generated by the great interests of the New World, all human countries with conditions began to carry out great voyages and colonization. They planted flags on plots of unowned land to show ownership. Although this is so ridiculous in the eyes of the elves, the rules of human beings are tacit and mutually respectful. As a result, the High Elves watched as one human nation after another marked flags on pieces of borderland, bringing in boatloads of people and supplies to develop the area.
Although, due to the dangers of the New World, humans are not yet able to penetrate deep into the interior. However, this has not stopped human development and the pursuit of wealth. Basically, all the land and countless islands of the New World were occupied by human nations. They occupy fertile land and have migrated to build cities, towns and villages. At the same time, constantly organize manpower to clean up the surroundings and remove all dangers. Even though the dangers and casualties were great in the process, these did not dampen the enthusiasm of human beings to participate in colonization and the pursuit of wealth.
In a mood of fear that even the High Elves would feel, they ignored the perils of the sea and the distance between the New World and their homeland. They went overseas, plundered all their wealth, and pursued everything they did not have and had not seen. Although, their sailing ships were not as good as their white ships, although their weapons were very primitive, although they were all of good and bad, and of different qualities. However, in the common pursuit, the common goal, human beings have exploded with unimaginable power.
The dangers of the New World were overcome by them one by one, and they quickly gained a foothold. The development of the city and the development of the land provided stable and strong support for the later colonizers. In the same way, the support of the home countries of these colonizers is extremely strong. Shiploads of supplies and people were quickly transported to the colony at regular intervals, and the growth of the population meant an increase in the number of troops. The High Elves looked at the human colonies, organized armies, and from their home countries, there were also armies that crossed the sea to the colonies, and then one bloody purge after another began. The natives were killed, driven away, their land occupied, and all kinds of monsters were killed and driven away one after another. Humanity occupies all the land they can occupy at present. Then, the development of the local area began.
With the passage of time, the strength of human beings has increased rapidly, and the great voyages have brought huge benefits and commercial activities. It has accelerated the pace of human progress and provided strong support for their rise and growth. In this way, under the gaze of the High Elves, they rose rapidly. Even though the colony occupies a small size and land, the interior is still an unknown land. However, the High Elves firmly believe that as the hidden riches of the Inland are discovered by humans, it is conceivable that no matter how dangerous the Inland Regions are, they will not be able to stop the humans by then.
They will not retreat because of this, on the contrary, the human beings will crush all the dangers. Then, because of the huge interests, they completely occupied the land that contained huge interests.
Not only ordinary and weak humans, but also wizards among humans, their speed of development also makes the High Elves wary. They also don't know whether it was right or wrong to send sages and sorcerers to human lands to teach them. The High Elves did not dare to question the decision from the 'God', but the High Elves were currently wary of humans. This is a fact that in the past, the High Elves were wary and had witnessed with their own eyes, and in today's environment, the High Elves are also reflecting on what they have done.
They also decided to be fully involved, while maintaining a high level of vigilance with humanity; Attitudes towards humanity also need to change. However, although they are wary of humans, they are still confident in their current strength, at least the current humans, are not qualified to challenge the High Elves!
