Chapter 274: Splitting up again V

{I want to let everyone know that I have a p-a-t-r-e-o-n with two new exclusive stories on it. One is The Aeternus Universe, and the other is a new story with a basketball system. I hope you guys will give it a chance. The link is https://www.p-a-t-r-e-o-n.com/easyread. Remove the dashes. Webnovel censors the word.}

Sally's look of determination says a lot, and now that a horrible truth has been revealed to both of us. I agree with her feelings. It looks like Revenge Against the Elven Kingdom is our priority. "When can we leave?" Sally wants to leave as soon as possible. I look at her and shake my head. I explain that we can leave first thing tomorrow morning. I still have to alter plans with Hailey. Before I do any of that, I'll have to see the updates to the quests. I stand up, and I make my way over to the table in the room. I take a seat and wave for both of them to come over.

The first to get up is Sally, and she quickly takes the seat next to me. Hailey soon follows and joins us at the table and sits across from Sally and me. "There is something that I want both of you to know before we make any plans." My serious demeanor and tone grab their attention. "When we do this, we'll be taking on one of the most powerful kingdoms in all of Gaia. I know Sally doesn't have any second thoughts, but if you don't want to be a part of our attack on the elves, I'll understand." This statement is directed at Hailey.

Taking on the elves isn't an easy undertaking. It's something that should be seriously considered. Once people learn that I'm involved, things will get complicated too. To the vast majority of people, I'm supposed to be above fighting and seeking an end to the great war happening. Once they learn that I'm involved with attacking one of the biggest contributors in the great war, opinions of me will change. While the most devoted followers of the church won't question my actions. The common people are the ones who are less educated about the bigger picture and the evil committed by these large kingdoms.

Hailey takes time to consider my words. Knowing they're true is helping. She has people that depend on her, people she cares about. The type of people she doesn't want getting dragged into fights like this. "I will be helping you in this fight, but you have to promise me that you'll help protect Jasmine when I bring her with me. She's my best friend, and if she dies, she's not coming back as we do..." A grim reality that we have to face constantly. The people we are growing close to are not immortal as we are. If they are killed, they stay dead.

I can protect Jasmine to a degree, but if she does anything reckless or stupid. I can't help her. "I can do that, Hailey. As long as she isn't dumb and gets into trouble constantly, then I have no problem helping protect her. I doubt I'll ever get the chance with you watching over her, though." She smiles and nods her head. It looks like Hailey will be joining us. "I have to check something in my interface really fast." Hailey understands what I'm talking about, but Sally doesn't. It's something that only us players, or new people, have. I look at the updates to the two quests.

[Revenge Against the Eleven Kingdom]

[Description: Now that Sally's Revenge against the James family has been completed, the hardest quest regarding Sally's past is about taking Revenge against The Elven Kingdom.]

[Objective 1: When the time comes, Sally will bring up getting revenge against the elves and the Orvello family. (Hint: This will occur during the time of Fighting the Disease quest.)][Completed]

[Objective 2: You can either hide the information found about Orvello and her mother from Sally, or you can tell her. Each choice has a different impact on her feelings towards you and her family. (Hint: You have until Sally brings up getting revenge against the elves directly. So if you intend to tell her, do it as soon as possible.][Completed]

[Objective 3: When Sally wakes up, ask her how she's feeling.][Completed]

[Objective 4: Head to The Elven Kingdom's Capital City, Zernox.][In progress]

[Objective 5: Make the royal family and nobles pay for their transgressions against Saliandra. How you do this is up to Sally. So listen to her.][In Progress]

[Reward: Unknown]

[Difficulty: Legendary]

The capital city of the Elven Kingdom, Zernox. I've never been there personally, but I heard it's a beautiful sight. It will be hard getting into the elven kingdom, let alone the capital and the royal family. I could say that I want to see the royal family using my identity as The Son of Michael. However, how this quest is done is up to Sally. This means that I have to do it her way, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Even if it might take longer, my idea might not even work. Sally is in charge of this quest, and that means I have to listen to her.

[Dark Truths]

[Description: Find out why the Orvello family has forsaken and doomed both Sally and her deceased mother. Revenge Against the Elven Kingdom is directly tied to this quest. So the more you complete and figure that quest out, the more this quest will develop and change with it.]

[Objective 1: Once inside The Kingdom of The Elves, locate the Orvello family. Once you have this information, bring it to Sally. (Hint: Sally doesn't know where the location of her family is since she's never met them.)][In progress]

[Objective 2: This quest will be affected by whether you tell Sally about her mother and the betrayal. So if you want this quest to progress, it's wise to tell her as soon as you can.][Completed]

[Objective 3: Once you ask how Sally feels, she'll want to talk about her family and what to do.][Completed]

[Objective 4: Once the Orvello Family is located. Take Sally to them so she can question them and get answers that she needs.][In Progress]

[Objective 5: Get the Orvello family's location while in the capital elven city of Zernox. How this is done is up to you.][In progress]

[Difficulty: Legacy]

[Rewards: Unknown]

There is going to be a lot to do regarding Dark Truths. Finding the Orvello family will be complicated, and that also means that it's going to consume even more time. Time we might not have, not with so many wars happening or starting up. "Okay, once you are done getting Jasmine, meet us at the southernmost border to The Elven Kingdom. We'll meet up there. It's going to be a pain crossing the borders. They take the security of their kingdom very seriously." Hailey nods her head and leans back in her chair.

We now have a plan of action, and once we are done with all of this, we can start working on the Fighting the Disease quest. It's going to be a while before we get to work on it, though. "For now, let's just enjoy this time together. We'll be reaching the southernmost border before Jasmine and you. So once we get there, we'll wait in the city attached to the border. We'll keep a low profile, and most stay in a room in an inn. Once you and Jasmine catch up, check the inns in the town." The final things have been taken care of.

I look at Sally, and I can see that she has to use all her will to resist going right now. I reach over and wrap my arm around her shoulders. I scoot her closer in and give her a side hug. "Don't worry, Sally. We'll make them pay, and nothing is going to stop that." She looks into my eyes, and I keep a calm confidence. Reassuring her that my words her true. She sighs and closes her eyes. She leans her head against me, deciding to relax until tomorrow when we leave. I look over at Hailey, and I can see she has an amused look.

I've never been an affectionate person, so doing this in front of her must be a curiosity to her. "Should I leave you two lover bird alone?" I clench my jaw in frustration, leave to her to make it awkward. I glance at Sally, and even with her eyes closed, she has a spreading blush. I look at Hailey and make sure she knows that I'm upset. She puts her hands up in mock surrender. I swear when she gets a boyfriend. I'll make sure I embarrass her plenty. That is if she can get a boyfriend. If she's even interested in boys anymore. Who knows, maybe she's gotten sick of them. "I'll leave you too alone." She suddenly stands up and leaves the bedroom. Leaving Sally and me alone. I feel her place her hand on my knee.
