Chapter 613 The Thoughts Of An Elder
Gratiana La Shanagari stood still as she stared at the group that stood before her, hidden behind a veil of inexplicable power.
Her green irises constantly glowed as she maintained a slight frown. The Young Ones around her kept shouting and screaming words, but she paid them no heed. It wasn't that they were wrong for speaking out against these people—after all, they were sullying their holy land—but Gratiana knew there were much smarter ways to deal with intruders than merely yelling at them.
'Still, I can not chastise the Youngs. Their livid reactions show how much they have embodied the truth of Nature.'
Humans were scum—nothing more than animals with a certain quota of intelligence. In a way, they were similar to Monsters. No... not just them.
Dwarves and Giants were also the same. But, at the very least, those ones knew how to remain in their territory and mind their own business. That didn't make them any less cruel and savage, but at the very least... they could be avoided.
But humans were different.
Even if Elves remained on their own, they would always attempt to reach them.
'That is why this squad exists, and why I guard the shore from the likes of them... those vermin!' Any human that ever made it past the turbulent seas and onto the shore was swiftly hunted down by Gratiana and her squad. Of course, according to the rules of Nature, she could not execute them—despite all desire to do so.
Instead, she would have to give them the 'Medicine', before sending them back to where they came from. This allowed them to forget ever reaching the Elven Lands, and to also reduce their mental capacity so they would never find it again.
Gratiana often found herself hoping that those sailors and their crew would perish at sea, and anytime she had that thought, a smile always formed on her face.
For example, the current moment.
As the Elder Elf looked at the group before her, she began to leak out a small smile.
First of all, though, they had to gain access to the humans.
"You say you come in peace, but we are yet to see proper consideration for your words." As Gratiana pointed at the leader of the group—a man with dark hair and an eyepatch covering his left eye.
He looked ugly, but she didn't think it was the same way other humans looked hideous. He really wasn't as bad as them, but she couldn't really say why.
Still, any Non-Elf individual was ugly... so he fell under that category regardless.
"Come out of there first. Then we can talk."
She smiled internally, already planning what to do once the man obeyed her commands. 'I'll use my Skills to incapacitate him and the one wearing the glasses beside him.'
After that, the Youngs would give them the 'Medicine', while she would execute Half Elf before all of them.
'It's been a while since any have been found and eliminated, to the point where I was beginning to think they had gone extinct, but now...?' Gratiana's thoughts slightly changed as she stared at the Half Elf once last time.
'Should I execute her back in the Community instead? Yes... that will be much better.' The only problem was that it could get troublesome if others desire to take the honor away from her. Gratiana couldn't take that risk.
'Therefore, I should do the deed here!' Her eyes were beginning to widen in excitement as her heart raced with anticipation.
She would be able to perform such a great service to Nature, educate the Young Ones even further, deprive the humans of their lethal weapon, prevent the creation of more Half-Breeds, as well as satisfy some of her own frustration.
It was a win-win situation for everyone.
'All they have to do is step forward and judgment will be properly meted out!'
