"We need to catch the traitor."
Nymeris spoke in a solemn tone, and just as the rest of the elders were about to reluctantly agree with her words—
"All of this is too inefficient."
Lavinia finally spoke up.
"…what?"
Nymeris blinked slowly.
"Be it interrogating every single Velmourn, checking everyone's belongings, or separating the people into small groups to limit contact— all of this is too inefficient.
Not only do we not have enough manpower to carry out such an operation, even if we do prepare ourselves and push through it regardless, people won't survive the Winter."
Lavinia shook her head, her words attracting everyone's attention.
And at this time, Lavinia said something truly Velmourn-like,
"Winter is coming, the situation here is going to get even rougher. Velmourn society is different from normal people; it thrives on Unity and Work.
And just like Elder Aelindra said, your actions will destroy Velmourn unity and raise too many suspicions.
