After all, I overestimated myself.

In the mayor's hall of Chijiling Town, Roger was staring at the sky and dazed.

It has been five days since he returned to the town. He originally thought he could recover in three days, but he has not fully recovered until now. Although his mind no longer felt sore from time to time like at the beginning, he still felt as if he had been staying up all night and had no energy, which made him lazy and unable to lift his body.

The recovery after mental power is much more troublesome than you think. It seems that you must pay attention in the future and you cannot consume too much mental energy. It is too uncomfortable now.

Because his condition has not recovered, Roger has not accomplished anything in the past few days. Fortunately, there is not much work in the Red Ridge Collar that needs to be dealt with by himself, otherwise the Red Ridge Collar might be in chaos and would not be sure.

There is not any good news in these five days. At least Roger consumed his faith power for Loken's blessing to the ancient gods, but he also made a lot more than before. He was almost approaching a thousand.

It can be seen that Loken worked very hard. The guards he led must have fought fiercely in the Red Ridge Mountains. There were many extraordinary creatures he killed, otherwise the power of faith would not have risen so quickly.

Roger knew very well about the source of the power of faith that when Barkley's Black Scale Clan was still consolidating the territory occupied by it and Wolf's werewolf was not attacked by outsiders, the power of faith could still rise so quickly, except for Loken.

However, in just five days, nearly a thousand faith power increased. It seems that deep in the Red Ridge Mountains are indeed full of crises, and the strength of the indigenous creatures living there is evident.

No wonder there has not been a pioneering lord in the Storm Kingdom successfully established a territory in the Red Ridge Mountains in the past century. It is not without reason.

You should know that Roger gave Loken the order to explore along the Nushui River, not to go deep into the mountains where the indigenous creatures gathered in large numbers. In this way, it can still increase so much faith. It can be seen that there are so many extraordinary creatures in the Red Ridge Mountains, which are definitely beyond imagination. Roger doubted that if he had not assigned a guard with all the strength of the Golden Knights, would Loken be killed directly by the indigenous creatures on the way to explore.

Retracting his eyes from the sky and awakening from his dazed state, Roger held his chin with his hand, thinking about a question: Why do so many extraordinary creatures appear in the native races, while the proportion of people with extraordinary power in the human kingdom is so small.

Is the living environment in the wild really so cruel that it forces the indigenous creatures to have a large number of extraordinary people to allow the tribe to continue?

Or do humans live so comfortably that they unknowingly fall?

If it is the latter, there is also a paradox - if humans really fall, why can the kingdoms established by humans still occupy a large area of ​​rich land and always be in a strong position when facing indigenous creatures?

But if it is the former, Roger doesn't agree.

The cruelty of the wild living environment forced a large number of extraordinary people to be born among the indigenous creatures. Isn’t the living environment of refugees similar to that of the indigenous creatures? Why don’t there be a large number of people with extraordinary power appear among the refugees? There is no reason why indigenous creatures can, but they are not established when they come to humans.

Roger thought for a long time, and the final answer came down to two words, these two words were magic.

It is precisely because of magic that humans can produce mages. It is precisely because of the high-end power of mages that humans can remain strong when fighting against indigenous creatures. It is precisely because of the strength of human beings that human countries can occupy large areas of rich land, and then use the resources on these lands to arm themselves, equip the kingdom's army with hard iron armor and sharp swords to defend and even plunder more wealth to support themselves.

Where does human magic come from?

Elf!

The extraordinary power taught to humans by a race called elves that exists in the legend of the Storm Kingdom.

As far as Roger knows, the elves came to seek alliance with humans because they wanted to solve their enemy, Forest Trolls. In order to make the then ruler of mankind, Emperor Soladin, agree to his request, the elves took out magic, a condition that humans could not refuse.

Roger didn't know this history like others, and he didn't think too much. He actually had a lot of doubts.

At that time, humans were still living in Arachi. The first emperor of mankind, Soladin, had just brought humans from the primitive clan system to the feudal imperial system. It can be said that human civilization at that time was still in the early stage of development, and the writing had not yet been fully formed. The place where they lived also evolved from caves, tents, thatched huts, etc. to stone houses, let alone metallurgy, there were only a very small number of iron tools.

Such humans, with the level of civilization of the elves at that time, could say that they could make the eyes of humans, a land bun who had never seen the world. If they wanted humans to agree to form an alliance with them to deal with forest trolls, they only needed to use iron smelting and other technologies that could make humans build iron armored iron swords, or increase grain production and the same land could feed more people. It would be enough for Emperor Soladin to agree to them.

But the elves did not take these things that were once again, but took out their ultimate power - magic.

Can you imagine an alliance between two races, different countries, and the more developed civilization and stronger strength to give the strongest power you have mastered to another?

Is this a person doing?

What about the elves' brains?

The super power of magic has been deeply fascinated by it from the moment humans knew about it. For thousands of years, many amazing people have spent their entire lives on it. With the help of the power of magic, humans have risen rapidly and become a new force that the entire world cannot ignore.

If we look at this aspect, the magic taught to humans by the elves is indeed a good thing, which is equivalent to a great gift from the sky. It can be said that without magic, humans would not be as strong as they are today. Without magic, humans might still be struggling to fight for survival space with indigenous races such as werewolves and fishmen.

But Roger believes that people divide good and evil, and things divide into two aspects. You cannot look at things one-sidedly, but you have to start from multiple aspects.

There will be no pie falling from the sky unless it is poisonous.

To change the perspective, it is precisely because of the elves' intervention in the early stages of human civilization that the introduction of magic knowledge has affected the development of human beings, making human civilization a part of magic civilization. It is precisely because all the amazing and amazing people of human beings have studied magic that the part of the knight civilization in human beings has been still standing still for thousands of years, and the proportion of knights has always been so small. Even indigenous races like werewolf can put human beings far apart.

When Emperor Soladin accepted the elves' alliance conditions to introduce magic into humans, he took a big advantage at that time, but from today and even later on, it may not be possible. After all, no matter how strong the human magic civilization is, can it be stronger than the elves? No matter how many mages there are, can there be more than the elves?

In a profession like a mage that requires a lot of knowledge and spend a lot of time, elves with a lifespan of thousands of years have advantages that humans can never match.

Humans who embark on the road of magical civilization can only follow the elves' butts to be the younger brothers of the elves' kingdom. If they want to change this situation, a miracle will happen.

But, is it really so easy for miracles to happen?

"Is the elf..."

Roger rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly he felt that the world was very dangerous. There were strong enemies orcs on the front, and there were elves behind him who were confused about what he was at ease. In secret, there were ancient evil gods such as Cthun Yugesaron to cause trouble. This was to force people to the dead end.

If you don’t perish in silence, you will explode in silence. You don’t know if humans are still perishing.
