Chapter 1078: The Elves' Contact with the Great Powers of the East
In fact, the vigilance of human beings is not ordinary mortals. Although, in fact, there were so many of these mortals that the High Elves felt insurmountable.
The rate at which humans reproduce is simply too fast, although the chances of infants dying are very high. However, all this seems insignificant in terms of the sheer number of human beings themselves. That is, the probability of the loss of offspring is large, compared to the huge population base, the number of newborn children in human beings every year is a number that the high elves look up to and cannot surpass.
To be honest, this ability to reproduce quickly is the envy of the High Elves. Their family has experienced tens of thousands of years, and today's population is only about 3 million. And the population of almost every human kingdom that multiplied on all continents was far larger than the population of the High Elves. Not to mention those human countries with populations of more than 10 million, tens of millions, or even more than 100 million.
In the beginning, these human nations were approached by the High Elves to learn about their population. The High Elves couldn't help but be shocked by the sheer size of their population, which was truly a miraculous number 'billion'. In the eyes of the High Elves, such a civilized and backward human race actually exists in fact, a country with a population of more than 100 million. That ancient country, located in the easternmost part of the human world, their civilization structure, language, writing, and even clothing and food, made the High Elves have an extremely strong interest in this ancient eastern country when they first sailed there.
And this ancient country in the East, from the moment he officially saw the High Elves, he was also amazed that there was such a magical species in the world. They were amazed by the flawless beauty and tall stature of the High Elves, and they also sensed from their manners and costumes that the other party was also a race with a long history. In the ensuing contact, when they were shocked to hear that the other party's civilization had existed for tens of thousands of years, the ancient eastern country subconsciously did not believe that there would be an ancient nation and country with a history of tens of thousands of years in the world.
They have always praised their own history with the history of 5,000 years of civilization, and they do not believe that there are other nations and countries in the world besides themselves, with a history older than theirs. However, the high elves, with their beauty, impeccable manners, and costumes with a strong sense of history, are not something that can be faked. Whether it is etiquette or clothing, it has undergone the changes of time, in different time periods and history, for various reasons, and then evolved.
Although, in his heart, he believed that the other party was an ancient civilization, but the ancient eastern country still did not believe that these strange races that claimed to be high elves and did not belong to human beings would have an ancient history of tens of thousands of years. On the contrary, the High Elves also have an extremely strong interest in this large country in the East that they have come into contact with for the first time. In the process of contact with the great powers of the East, the High Elves were surprised to find that between the two of them, different races, had never been in contact before. However, the civilizations of the two sides will have a striking degree of similarity at a certain time. For example, the etiquette between them and this ancient Eastern country has something in common, even the same meaning.
The commonalities of civilization, coupled with the fact that both sides are well-mannered peoples (races), for inexplicable reasons, have led to a strong interest and goodwill in the High Elves in this great eastern country. Similarly, this great country in the East is also interested in the High Elves. This is the first time they have treated people from extremely distant places. In the subsequent contact and conversation, they learned about each other's history and culture, and in the in-depth communication, they looked at each other's eyes and became extremely cordial.
"This is still our race, and for the first time since we came to settle in this world, we have found that they are extremely similar to us in terms of civilization. Even, in some places, the exact same human kingdom. "At the banquet, the elegantly dressed high elves looked around at the humans in this luxurious hall, their clothes were elegant and generous, with a strong historical atmosphere." This is a completely different civilization from the human race we have encountered in the past. You are humble, courteous, ancient in civilization and have a long history, and only the country of the Tang people in Europa can compare with you. ”
Similarly, in the face of the narration of the high elves, the monarchs and ministers of the eastern powers are also very interested. "This world? Do you settle here? This is...... Also, do you know the Tang people who migrated to Europa to settle down in the past? ”
"We were born in another world. During this period, there were changes and wars, and then I was brought here by my king to define the time of living for thousands of years. The High Elf explained the first half of the sentence, and then replied to the second half, "You also know, the land of the Tang people? Could it be that the group of humans who claimed to be Tang people back then were actually from your ancient country? ”
The monarchs and ministers of the great powers of the East, most of them are half-convinced of the elves' rhetoric, another world? They don't believe it all, but they are very interested in the elves, who are said to be descendants of the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty, who were slaves in the Great Food for 200 years, and finally established a country in the far west of Europa. They have not been in contact for many years, and have even closed off the country, opening only one port to trade with the outside world. Moreover, they dare not be interested in what is happening outside their own country, in distant places.
So, under their curious questioning, the visiting elves answered them one by one, some of the things that happened in Europa and what they were currently doing. And the kings and ministers of the great powers in the East also learned from the elves that the major events that are happening in the world today. Great voyages, great colonies, endless lands, and countless wealth and resources are vividly depicted by the High Elves. In addition, they also learned from the High Elves about the current situation and development of their branch clan.
"The current state of the Tang people is not good. It can be said that they have reached the weakest period since the founding of the country. In China, most people are chasing luxury and pleasure, and corruption is rampant, although there are still some wise people who maintain the stability of the country. However, it is increasingly unable to keep up with other countries in an era of great change. Most of the army has also become decorations, and only a small part of them are enthusiastic and trying to change new talents, struggling to maintain the situation. It is also fortunate that they exist, otherwise, this thousand-year-old country will eventually be eliminated. The High Elves said this, feeling a lot of emotion, after all, the civilization of the Tang people is actually very similar to them, "The Tang people have been in a row for twenty generations of British masters from the initial stage of statehood for a long time. Under the leadership of these heroes, they rose extremely fast. He also participated in the Great Voyage, the colonization movement. It's just a pity that in the past 300 years, all those who have been re-elected have been faint, but fortunately, in the past 300 years, there have always been great talents who have maintained the stability of the country. Otherwise, the Tang people would have been jointly attacked by the European continent countries! ”
The words of the high elves made the monarchs and ministers of the great powers of the East very emotional, and they were moved and admired for the deeds of the Tang people in the glorious stage, "It is really unimaginable that there are twenty generations of British lords in a row, and in that era, the country of this group of remnants of the Tang Dynasty will be so prosperous." It's a pity that this kingdom of twenty generations of British lords seems to have exhausted the country's luck. In the past three hundred years, the kings who succeeded to the throne were all faint masters, and they were fortunate to have a powerful generation to turn the tide. Otherwise, it is really unimaginable that in such a situation, there has been no Ming monarch for three hundred years, and their country can still be spared, and it is simply a miracle that it will not be divided and devoured! ”
"Could it be that the countries of Europa really let it go and didn't take the opportunity to raise up sword soldiers?"
The High Elf was obedient and shook his head slightly, "Naturally not, in the weakened stage of the Tang people, they have already been besieged by a group. Although the upper echelons of this country have been degenerate for a long time, among the people, there are always people who have risen in troubled times. They always turn the tide at the last minute. In this way, we can barely maintain the situation for 300 years. ”
"At this point, there are similarities with my China!"
