    Chapter 79: I seem to have found a group of fake elves (Part 2) According to the Asian God Loli Mercurio, the elves on Falmat Continent are very contradictory creatures.  On the one hand, the elves were once very powerful. Before humans appeared on the continent, elves had already existed widely throughout the continent, established their villages and city-states, and created countless wonderful and powerful magics.  , regarded as "ancient rulers" by the humans who came later; on the other hand, elves are also very fragile. They can only adapt to the forest environment. Once they leave a place with towering ancient trees and lush plants for too long, their bodies will slowly deteriorate.  Once you become weak, you will get sick if you continue, and if you cannot return to the forest as soon as possible, you may even die.  In other words, elves can only live in dense forests suitable for elves. It is impossible for elves to migrate long distances like humans and orcs and build their own settlements among deserts, grasslands, mountains, and swamps.  .  This insurmountable chronic disease has greatly reduced the aggressiveness of the elves. After all, not all places are covered with all kinds of trees.  Therefore, even with overwhelming advantages in civilization and technology, without any decent opponents, the ancient elves were unable to break out of the forest and conquer the entire continent. They could not even unify within their own group: all forests were destroyed.  It is fragmented by grasslands, mountains, deserts and oceans, and communication with each other is inconvenient. No elf king can expand his rule beyond his own forest.  At the same time, this also limits the expansion of elven urban civilization. The nature of elves makes it impossible for them to destroy nature and build big cities.  And if you want to build that kind of sci-fi style biological city, the technical reserves of these elves on Falmat Continent are far from enough What's even worse is that the life span of the elves is too long, but their reproductive ability is very low, which reduces the number of the population.  It has been difficult to expand.  As the years passed, instead of continuing to evolve and sublimate, the elf civilization began to decline and become decadent. Even various elf magics were lost one after another.  As a result, humans, who were latecomers to the Falmat continent, took advantage of it. They first took root in the plains and grasslands that the elves looked down upon, gradually expanded their living space, rapidly multiplied the population, and at the same time actively  Absorbing and introducing the advanced culture and technology of the elves, and finally relying on their numerical advantage, they gradually eliminated the elven tribes that were in an isolated island state one by one, and became the overlord of the continent. Facing the attack of humans, it is very difficult for elves in different regions to support each other.  Difficult to do.  What's more, they have no such awareness of helping each other.  After being conquered, the remaining elves in the human world are no different from serfs.  It's just that because they can't adapt to the environment outside the forest, they can't be cultivated in the fields or thrown into the mines to dig stones.  Therefore, these elves who lost their homes and independent status could only move to some remote and barren forests to fend for themselves under the supervision of the human army. They barely relied on hunting and farming to survive, and they had to pay tribute to the human nobles every year.  Mushrooms, wild fruits, animal skins and other things, and sometimes wives and daughters had to be sacrificed for human officials to enjoy.  It is roughly similar to the status of Jews and Gypsies in medieval Europe Under such circumstances, it is sheer joke to talk about the "nobility and elegance of elves".  In the same way, the so-called handsome men and beautiful women depend on their natural beauty on the one hand, and on the other hand, they rely on acquired support.  These elves who were forced to integrate into human society, endured layers of exploitation by officials and nobles, and had to perform labor and were sent out, no longer had the comfortable free life in the forest, lacked food and clothing, were looked down upon by others, depressed, and unaccustomed to the climate.  She is extremely beautiful, but most of her beauty has been tortured by the harsh environment.  What's more, even among the ancient elves, there is no such exaggerated thing that everyone is handsome and beautiful. It's just that the average appearance is slightly higher.  In addition, the elves at that time were the only civilized race on the continent. Facing all kinds of barbarians, they could make them feel dirty in all aspects.  Just like when China was at its peak, the barbarian chiefs from all over the world, faced with the elegance of the Central Plains gentlemen, their elegance in poetry and wine, all felt inferior to them, and even tried their best to imitate them in writing, laws, clothing, and social systems, especially in Korea.  Chinese characters have been used for thousands of years, completely regardless of the fact that North Korea and Japan are Altaic languages, while China is Sino-Tibetan. The two are actually incompatible But after a hundred years of decline in modern times, the former Chinese nobles became human beings  People despise the sick man of East Asia and the "ugly Chinese", and the surrounding ethnic groups are also busy abandoning Chinese characters and using letters Therefore, facing this group of elves who have become "less than chickens", Wang Qiu will have "I feel like it"  I found a group of fake elves".  But the problem is, no matter what the elves are like in reality, tourists from the earth will definitely not want to see such elves that lack fantasy style.  ¡°¡­?This is very difficult to do. Now that humans have become the overlords of the continent, if they want to find that kind of wild elf tribe, they can only try their luck in the desolate mountains in the north of the continent or the wild islands in the south.  And even if you find it, they may not be willing to move here.  " In response to Wang Qiu's inquiry, Yashen Loli spread her hands helplessly, "After all, after so many years of war and attack, the hostility between humans and elves is too deep, and the Church of Omorrah that I serve is there.  Planting places has little impact.  As for the area near Arnus Hill, I only know that there seems to be an elf tribe in Schulz Forest in the south, but they are not white-skinned high elves, but dark-skinned dark elves" "I also know this.  I know, but according to our concept, dark elves should live in underground cities that never see the light of day" "Although like the drow elves in Faerun in the DND world, there is also a group of dark elves on the Falun continent.  Silver-skinned dark elves, but in terms of living habits and religious culture, they are absolutely different: the dark elves here are basically similar to the surface elves in the dnd world, but they don't pay much attention to chastity, and the relationship between men and women is chaotic. They often put  Selling meat is just a side job, and it also has the inherent flaw of "not being able to live outside the forest." But the problem is that in the eyes of earthlings, it is weird for dark elves to live on the surface in such a big way However, race.  Nature cannot be distorted. To ask these dark elves to leave the forest, move into the underground city, and make a living by selling cuteness to humans is simply more unbearable than killing them. It is roughly the same as forcing humans to move to the Antarctic ice sheet.  So in the end, Wang Qiu and the others could only make up the money by building a dwarf dungeon "Ironforge" project, which is still in the process of construction. In fact, the dwarves kept their smelting workshop in the dark.  The underground is also a very troubling matter for people on earth, because humans have never built heavy industrial bases underground: how to transport fuel and raw ore? How to transport products out? How to deal with the problem of smoke exhaust and heat dissipation underground.  How to solve the problem of water supply and wastewater? Not to mention the additional lighting costs Even if there is the advantage of being close to the mine, coal mines, iron ore and copper mines usually do not appear in one place, so what should be done when selecting the site?  Which one do you value? Of course, the dwarves in the fantasy world seem to be able to directly use lava for heating, lighting and smelting. If this is the case, it would make sense to build a factory underground To read novels without anti-theft chapters, please use the search engine to search for the key  Ci (Yun.Lai.ge), various novels for you to read
