The great flood that swept the land hundreds of years ago is gradually becoming a legendary story with the passage of time!

At least, among humans, it is.

Human beings, who are born with a short lifespan, will gradually be forgotten with the passage of time for some things that already exist and have already appeared. Even if they record it clearly in words, they will have a series of doubts about what happened back then because of the continuous passage of time.

Now, the great flood that took place in those years is the same among mankind.

Human beings, for a variety of reasons, have gradually begun to question what happened hundreds of years ago. This is because human civilization at that time was still in its infancy, and there was no mature and sound vocabulary and language. At that time, after the formation of the Great Flood, it swept the entire land at a very fast speed. On the earth, the water is churning, and in the sea, there are also monstrous waves. The fragile rudiments of human civilization are powerless to resist in the face of this natural disaster.

The majority of learned human beings, at the moment of the Flood, were not prepared at all and did not have the strength to resist. Their death not only caused a fault in human civilization, but also shrouded the real deeds that happened back then with a veil of mystery. Because, after that catastrophe, the human beings who survived the civilization fracture was extremely strong. There are too many legacies that have been completely lost with the death of those involved. Therefore, after the Flood receded, the surviving human beings simply recorded the effects of the Flood through word of mouth and stone monuments.

However, hundreds of years later, humanity's fractured civilization grew again in ruins. And with the development of civilization, the language and vocabulary are gradually enriched. The gap between today's human beings and their primitive ancestors hundreds of years ago is not ordinarily large. In addition, there are too few 'historical materials' recorded in the relevant records, and the evidence of the existence of the flood has gradually disappeared with the passage of time. Therefore, the short-lived human beings, after the fermentation of time, have gradually disagreed with the existence of the great flood of the last days.

Unlike humans, the long-lived forest spirits have a long lifespan that can easily live for thousands of years!

Their development of civilization is undoubtedly far ahead of the human race back then. In addition, the great flood that destroyed the world came outside the elven city and was blocked by the magic barrier. The surging waves, higher than the city built by the elves, were clearly seen by the elves. Coupled with the images recorded by magic, the events of the Great Flood of Destruction have never disappeared from the elves, nor have they been forgotten by the elves.

Magic saved the forest elves and gave them plenty of time. Otherwise, the magnificent city they had worked so hard to build would have been swept away in one fell swoop with the advent of the great flood.

Therefore, at the moment when the city-states of mankind were established one after another, they arose. Mankind is fascinated by the wealth brought by trade, and enjoys a rich variety of products brought by the prosperity of trade. Although, the distance between the city-states is not close. However, with the pace of trade, human commercial activities have long spread over a very vast land. More and more city-states were discovered, more and more tribes were discovered, and species that also grew in different regions were known to more and more humans along with trade. And, following the development of trade, commercial networks were spread one after another, appearing one by one in the city-states that were extremely far away from each other.

In the face of such a rich environment, human civilization has also developed frequent contact with different city-states. As a result, there has been long-term development, and because of the stimulation of trade, the speed of human civilization has become incomparably faster. Although there has never been magic among human beings, the spread of commercial networks has made human civilization in all aspects, stimulated by the interests of commerce, so that it has a steady stream of stimulation and blood transfusion. The vigorous development of all walks of life has led to human civilization and activated all the city-states in their known world!

Although, in each city-state, the number of inhabitants is 350,000, and the minimum is 120,000. The strength of each other is not equal, but the emergence of trade and the boom of commerce have allowed every city-state to enjoy the 'rich' life brought by the prosperity of commerce. The introduction of new species and the abundance of food led to an explosion in the number of human beings.

In a very short period of time, the number of human beings has been rising. Moreover, the prosperity of commerce has also led to the evolution of primitive and ignorant human beings. Their wisdom continues to grow with the advancement of civilization. The establishment of various laws also led to the emergence of a clearer hierarchy among mankind. With the continuous development of the civilization of the various city-states of mankind, the power continues to grow, and the wealth increases. Compared with the wealthy human city-states, those humans who have re-degenerated into savages and even nomadic tribes because they have lost their inheritance are naturally interested in the huge wealth created by the city-states.

War, naturally, arises.

In the same way, because of the emergence of war, the strength and growth rate of the army have been continuously transfused. The military has made great progress, at least for today's human beings, the emergence of war has torn through the invisible shackles in their hearts. Also because of the war, the tribe plundered the city-state, and the city-state defeated the tribe.

Prisoners of war and slavery followed.

And, at a very fast rate, it is spreading rapidly among humans. The emergence of the city-state and the slavery system has changed the civilization of mankind, and everyone clearly feels the invisible change of all people, but there is no change. They don't know how to describe what it feels like. However, such a change has made the human city-state see great benefits from it.

Slavery began to rise, and business networks and merchants did not only engage in reselling. They also started the slave trade, and soon became rich as a result of the slave trade. The increase in money brought huge benefits to merchants and various city-states. As a result, the slave trade and slavery system, which had just emerged, immediately began to grow rapidly in tandem with the needs of all parties.

Whether it's grain, vegetables, fruits, wine, livestock, bronzes, or people...... All appeared in the commercial markets of various city-states. Commerce has developed and progressed rapidly, and has begun to drive the overall civilization and make great strides to improve. The vigorous commercial activities and the slave trade quickly ignited human civilization and left a deep imprint on human civilization with an enduring enthusiasm.

At the same time, the forest elves also began to come into contact with humans by chance.

Elven mages and explorers who go out to explore the world in search of magical resources will naturally not turn a blind eye to what happens to humans. Although they did not actively engage in any contact with humans in the process of exploration and travel. Their existence has not been discovered by humans. Mankind has not yet known that in a vast and prosperous forest, there is also a city-state, inhabited by a whole new race that is fundamentally different from them.

This race, in the face of the great flood of annihilation, stubbornly survived. Their civilization has not suffered any losses, and the population has not lost much. In their long history, they have developed a unique form of civilization! Moreover, they still observe human beings in the shadows, observe their city-states, observe and record all kinds of things that happen to human beings.

As a result, this group of people who have never been in contact with humans, but who have a clear understanding of humans. Because of the infinite enthusiasm and excitement brought by commercial activities in the human world, the civilization ignited began to be interested.

Although there is also commerce among the elves, neither the scale, nor the development nor the degree of activity can be compared with the business activities that have great influence and passion among humans at this moment. Because of the activity of commerce, human beings have activated the vitality and subsequent development of civilization. But at the same time, their behavior also made the forest elves begin to pay more attention to them.

Because, from the high prosperity of human commerce, the elves have seen a new way of thinking with huge benefits!
