Chapter 262 Discourse Among Elves

Earlier that day—very early in the morning—Lila and Lali saw something.

It was a fight between a Dragon and a human.

The Dragon was a three-horned one; a Dragon Commander. As for the human, he was a considerably capable person.

Ultimately, the Dragon prevailed, and the human fled.

This clash was peculiar for multiple reasons, so Lila and Lali knew they had to report it to their leader.

For one; the Dragons were currently raving their land in the Eastern Continent.

As such, they were enemies of the Elves.

However, the reason they didn't come out to assist the human was because humans weren't too far off from Dragons in the eyes of Elves.

Besides, this particular human had the stench of evil shrouding him, making him even more repulsive to the Elves who watched.

The second peculiar thing about the clash was that the Dragon spared the human.

That contradicted the nature of the feral and merciless beasts that the Elves knew.

The third, and perhaps the most important thing about the entire conflict, was what the Dragon did after winning the battle.

It entered the mountains through an entrance, and it also proceeded out of it.

That seemed like an inconsequential detail, but if one considered the fact that the Elves had been stationed in the Eastern Land for about a week now—waiting for the Enchanted Items that they were promised—it made a lot of sense.

The two Elven Scouts had finally found the warehouse of the humans; I.e, the Kariblanc Group.

With the Dragon completely taking over it, and the Elves knowing where the Warehouse was now located, a perfect opportunity had presented itself.

The Elves could take what they wanted... all without paying a dime to the shady humans they had to make a deal with.

This, too, was the world's perfect act of justice.

"The humans at KariBlanc stopped contacting us for some time now. I still tried reaching them today, but all to no avail."

For Aurora, she could confidently say that she and her comrades weren't the ones at fault in this transaction.

It was the humans.

"We've honored our part. They're the ones who defaulted..."

As she said this, the two ladies in front of her nodded vehemently.

"As expected of the humans."

"So untrustworthy..."

Elves had a strong distaste towards the affinity of evil. They all despised it greatly.

Anything deemed unclean or unnatural was dubbed as evil, and for the Elven Culture, most of every other culture or race could be placed under that category. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Sister Freya warned me about them, but I thought we could at least obtain a fair bargain if I seduced them with what they fancied most."

They still had to be careful, all things considered.

'We only brought a dozen of our brethren, so I would like us to be as vigilant as possible.'

It wasn't like a Dragon Commander was too much of an issue for her or anything, but she simply didn't want to take any chances for the sake of her younger ones.

"If we delay, it's possible that the humans could bring reinforcements and things could get messy. I suppose it's better to act quickly..." Aurora murmured.

She didn't want to fight humans—not because she believed them to be of value or anything, but because it would sully her hands.

A wild beast was still a living being.

They couldn't possibly perform perverse acts against nature in such a way.

Elves were naturally pacifists.

'The only reason we kill the Dragons is because the Oracle proclaimed them a scourge upon the world that should be eliminated.'

They were a threat to nature, and Elves were Nature's servants.

At least, according to them.

"We will act tomorrow. Tell the rest of our sisters to prepare for battle." Aurora finally made her decision.

"Battle? But I thought we concluded that the Dragon wasn't around any longer." Lali asked with innocence.

"Yeah. I thought so too." Lila added.

Both of them had child-like eyes on their faces, causing Aurora to smile and pat their heads.

"In life, sometimes the unexpected happens. We must prepare for such moments."

The two girls beamed at their elder's wisdom and bobbed their heads in pure agreement.

"Amazing!"

"So wise!"

Aurora merely giggled at the innocence of her younger sisters. This was how people were supposed to be.

... Uncorrupted by the evils of this world.

"The Dragon might show up again, the humans might come back with reinforcements, or a new threat could arise."

To protect themselves, the Elves had to be prepared.

"For the sake of our family, we must fight."
