In such a special environment, the contact between human and spirit began.
For the elves, they undoubtedly know about human beings. From a very early time, they knew about the existence of human beings. It was in the years before the flood that they knew about human existence. However, at that time, they did not have the idea and psychology of contacting with human beings. At that time, the Elves were far less powerful than they are now, and the population was much smaller than they are now. No matter what kind of psychology, the elves did not contact with human beings at that time.
Of course, they never rose at that time, trading with human beings, so as to use the huge human resources of human beings to find magic resources for elves.
Just because of the elves at that time, their magic civilization had just started, and the demand for magic resources was not as great as it is now. Therefore, contact with human beings or not is not valued by elves. Moreover, at that time, human beings themselves did not show the advantage of having to let elves touch them.
When the flood passed, both humans and elves suffered losses to varying degrees. Compared with the elves, human beings almost once fell and perished. The magic resources stored by the elves in the past years were all consumed because of a big flood. Therefore, after the flood passed, the elves, who were in great need of magic resources, began a new round of external exploration.
Also because of the flood, the barren world suddenly increased many new resources that have never been seen or heard of. Moreover, there are many kinds. The preliminary exploration results of the elves also show that there is a considerable reserve scale. However, although the magic civilization of the elves is advanced, it is by no means advanced to the point of omnipotence.
Some magic resources that are easy to explore and exploit can be easily exploited by elves, but some places that are not easy to exploit. Even elves can't collect too much magic resources. Their population is too small, although compared with many human city states, they are a powerful city state. However, when it comes to the types and quantity of magic resources they need, the shortage of elves is becoming more and more difficult.
At this time, the explorers and mages of the elves who explored the world were surprised to find that those uncivilized and barbaric human beings in the past. After a big flood, even after the disaster, it is more and more prosperous. They have made rapid progress in their civilization, and they have also picked up and continued civilization very quickly. They have not only rebuilt civilization in a very short period of time. On the basis of this, they have developed quite vigorously. Their civilization is advancing rapidly. Even the elves are surprised to see it.
However, these are nothing in the eyes of the elves. The civilizations between the two sides are not comparable at all.
However, the elves are also interested in the interesting things that happened in the human city-state. For example, in the human society, more and more prosperous commercial trade, so that the elves are very interested. Of course, their interest is only the prosperous business itself. For the local products and yellow and white things, it's not worth to make the elves interested.
What they care about is business itself.
Because the elves see that through commercial trade activities, human beings bring different products and commodities to different places through trade routes. The circulation of commodities has led to the vigorous development of human civilization and the golden route. These commercial routes are equivalent to the blood vessels one by one, invigorating all human beings. And because of these "blood vessels", human beings continue to transport nutrition, so their own civilization has been growing.
Therefore, the elves had a kind of contact with human beings, and then began commercial trade activities. Let human beings with a huge population collect the magic resources they need, and what they pay is nothing more than gold, silver and other "worthless" things. These days, for the civilization of the elves themselves, it is nothing. Their civilization development did not rely on these things very much, except for food, cloth and other things related to life. Gold and silver, in the civilization of the elves, are just ornaments. It's not the legal tender for fairies to settle trade in their daily life.
Gold and silver, in the kingdom of the elves, is such a position. Their fiat money is a kind of stone containing trace magic elements, which is beautifully processed by the elves. And this kind of stone has a variety of effects, and its texture is very hard, not easy to damage. Also because the spirit is the reason of the magic civilization, so this kind of magic stone, which is called "magic stone" by the elves, is used as their own legal tender for all kinds of daily settlement!
Although the elves also mined gold, silver, precious stones and so on. However, it is more used as decoration or building materials. The special structure of civilization makes their thoughts and daily forms fundamentally different from those of the outside world. However, to trade with human beings, we have to use gold, silver or precious stones.
These are the values of ordinary things in the Elven Kingdom, but they are sought after in the human society. Although the level of civilization of elves is very advanced, the advanced is also limited. Compared with human beings, the goods they can produce are incomparably rich, but there is also a limit. Trade with mankind, perhaps at the very beginning, they could also rely on the advanced nature of their civilization to dump goods on the Zhucheng state of mankind. However, they only use human beings to acquire the magic resources they need. It is difficult for the goods produced by the human world to compete with the goods of the elves.
That is to say, the elves are not likely to be willing to buy the goods produced by human beings. On the contrary, human beings have a strong need for all the commodities produced by elves.
However, when the two sides continue to deepen contact, human beings will also find the specific price of what the elves have designated to buy. Although not necessarily, can really understand the specific value of these things. However, from the fact that elves wantonly need such things that human beings do not understand, they can also guess the specific price of what elves need.
At that time, the elves may not continue to buy all kinds of resources from human beings at a low price. At that time, human beings must try their best to make up for the losses they have suffered in the business trade with elves for a long time. Even if they are still making money in fact, greedy and suspicious human beings will not think so.
They will not be happy to be satisfied with the status quo, but will continue to work hard, or even try to reverse this completely unfavorable situation for themselves.
Either by war or by means of supply.
