Journey of the Infinite Wizard
Chapter 1136: Trade Crushing
The idea that is currently appearing in the hearts of humans has only just been born, and their contact and getting along with the elves is still very short. Humans are very sensitive to the fact that the arrogance in the elves' hearts is completely undisguised.
Although they are in contact with human beings, they also carry out business and trade activities with human beings.
However, the attitude shown by the elves is completely an expression that makes humans feel uncomfortable. They have a haughty attitude, and sometimes it can even be said to be arrogant, treating everything that is not an elf as nothing.
In addition, their own civilization is indeed better than human beings, which makes this kind of arrogance revealed all the time. Although humans were born before the elves, in terms of the overall development of civilization, it was the elves who first entered the advanced state.
Although, in the entire world at present, whether it is humans or elves, they are still only the size of city-states.
However, in terms of civilization and system, the elves have reached a model that is almost feudal. Their productivity, because of magic, has been significantly improved. In addition, the long-lived elves have not given up on the goal of continuous learning. They are constantly exposed to new knowledge, and because of the mage relationship in the clan, coupled with the special status of the elves, the elves accept new things and new knowledge very quickly.
Hundreds of years have passed, and if it is replaced by human beings, several generations, even more than ten generations, have already passed. Limited by the current civilization and productivity of human beings, etc., their life expectancy is generally not high, and even being able to live to forty years old can be regarded as a long life. The lifespan of most human beings is only in their twenties or even thirties.
They also don't have a very advanced medical level, everything is just in the embryonic stage. Only the forest elves have certain attainments in medical treatment, but that's all.
For such a short-lived and frail race, the elves have only met a few times before they have a general understanding. Because of this, the disdain for human beings has deepened in my heart. For elves, the lifetime of human beings is just a stage for children to grow and learn. Although their population, in the process, continues to grow, this is incomparable to the elves. However, other than that, humans have almost no advantage over elves. Their 'renewal' speed is too fast compared to elves, but their own civilization and crucial productivity are far from being comparable to elves. It is also impossible to accept new knowledge like elves, especially if it keeps appearing. Every once in a while, a new kind of knowledge or innovative knowledge will appear.
They simply cannot adapt to this kind of fast-paced learning, and their own conditions also limit them.
Therefore, the elves keep a certain distance in the process of continuous trade and contact with humans. Never getting too close to humans, maintaining the unique pride and aloofness of its own immortal race.
Humans are also clearly aware of this, and they can understand a little bit, the pride and aloofness of the elves when facing them. However, it is impossible to fully understand, let alone the truth that elves live for thousands of years. They interpret the pride of the elves as the fact that the elves are stronger than them. Although this is true in fact, humans do not know the more specific aspects.
Because, so far, they haven't heard any information related to magic from the mouth of the elves. Anything involving the existence of magical secrets was dealt with by the elves with an attitude of ambiguity, or simply not saying anything. Therefore, among human beings, only a few people know that this group of people claim to be elves. It has a strange power that they can't imagine, but how this power comes from, humans don't know at all.
They envied the elves' rich life and conditions. They saw that the elves who came to their city-state were all dressed in cloth they didn't know, elegant clothes cut out of cloth, the sophisticated weapons they carried, and the elves driving them away. Pulling the carriage, the various commodities that were pulled over were rich and complete. After that, I watched the elves pull back a car full of all kinds of things they didn't understand, but the elves pointed out what they needed.
Although human beings do not understand, it does not mean that human beings are stupid.
The value of a commodity can be seen from the person who needs it. Not to mention, the trading caravans of the elves came to the city-states of humans, and the gold and silver they sold in exchange for the goods all chose to buy things that humans didn't know and didn't know everywhere. Human beings are not without research, but they have no way to start.
Even if you know that these things are what the elves need, but you don't know why the elves need them.
They can only enjoy all kinds of goods from the elves in a very weird way, and they are full of expectations for the return of the elves. On the one hand, they have to endure this kind of situation. Obviously, they can make a lot of money from the elves, but they don't know what to do. They really lacked understanding of what the elves indicated they needed, even if they knew the situation, they didn't think such things were of any value.
However, in terms of civilization, there are elves who are obviously more advanced and developed than them. But they are collecting these things in large quantities, and they still say that they will charge as much as they want, unlimited, unlimited collection. This exploded the enthusiasm of human beings, at least in the time after the transaction with the elves. Anything that can move is basically by the river, in the forest, in the mountains. They pick and choose everywhere, looking for things they don't know to bring back. Then, when waiting for the elves to come again, let the elves check to see if it is what they need.
However, in this way, a lot of time was wasted. After all, when the elves come again, humans don't know whether the things in their hands are what the elves need. If it is, it's okay to say, if not, it is equivalent to the time I have consumed, and it becomes meaningless.
Fortunately, the elves also discovered this problem after passing by several times.
For this reason, the base camp of the elves specially dispatched a team of ten to twenty members to settle in the main city-states of human beings after discussions. They bought land and established a business station, and sent personnel to inspect and purchase the magic resources they needed. This improves a lot of efficiency. When groups of humans come to the elves' business stations to find elves, they check whether the things they collect are what the elves need. Then, the elven mage who stayed behind is responsible for checking. Once it is confirmed that it is a magic resource, the elf will clearly tell the human beings.
Then, human beings who know what to do will wantonly collect the corresponding resources.
After that, it didn't take long for the caravans that the elves were responsible for purchasing to drive a large convoy of goods to various human city-states for sale. When I went back, I was returning home with a full load of resources.
Back and forth, with such continuous trade, the magical resources accumulated by the elves quickly achieved their goals in terms of types and quantities. Even, compared to the elves' internal expectations, it was much higher. This made the elves in the base camp happy all day, happier than the holidays. The increase in resources means that the magic civilization of the elves will have a continuous and stable supply of resources. At the same time, it also means that those mage apprentices who are equally talented will also be allocated additional resources to continue research and study and subsequent promotion. ()
