{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.}
Now that I have the information in the crystal ball, I can start up the Fighting the Disease quest. Well, it\'s already started. I activate the crystal ball, and I begin reading the information. I want to give it a look over as I do. There are names, locations, and account numbers. People who are threats to the business and officials who\'ve been bribed. As I read the information, I keep getting notifications updating me on changes to the Fighting the Disease quest. I stop reading some of the information, and I open up the quest.
[Fighting the Disease]
[Description: Sally wishes to find and root out all the evil and corrupted people tied to the James Barony.]

[Rewards: Unknown]
[Note: This quest is directly tied to Sally\'s Past and meets the same condition of being at the legendary in difficulty.]
No wonder the James family was able to get away with so much. They had a Treasurer of The Kingdom of Pleer in their pocket. In the kingdom in which we reside right now, there is still even more information to go through. I continue reading the crystal ball, and the quest Revenge Against the Elven Kingdom has also been updated. The reason it\'s been updated is that there is a mention of the Orvello family, which is Sally\'s family. Apparently, the Orvello Matriarchs arranged the abduction, resulting in Sally\'s mother\'s slavery and rape.
[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.)][In progress]
[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.][In progress]
[Reward: Unknown]
[Difficulty: Legendary]
The elves are getting crueler and crueler the more I learn about them. How could a family do something like that? To their own flesh and blood. The question is, what do I do? If I tell Sally, she\'ll likely want to head straight for The Elven Kingdom. That\'ll put our mission of Fighting the Disease on the back burner. On the other hand, I don\'t want to keep this from her. It\'s very important, and it reveals truths that she didn\'t even know were hidden. My question is, why did the Orvello family do this! It makes zero sense. As I think that, I get a new notification. I open it, and it\'s a new quest.
[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.][In progress]
[Difficulty: Legacy]
[Rewards: Unknown]
There are many new quests and things to do, but all three of them are connected somehow. This allows many opportunities to knock out multiple objectives at the same time. It seems the best move for all this is to tell Sally about the information we found. I don\'t know what it\'ll do to her, but I\'m worried. She might get tunnel vision and want to head straight to the elven kingdom and handle all that. However, we can\'t be reckless about this, and that isn\'t all we have to worry about. Wars are going on, and there is a chance that we could end up dragging innocent people in.
The top family\'s and powers in the elven kingdom should be punished but knowing them and the elves. They\'ll use the innocent as a shield. I\'m not into killing innocent people, but if they leave me, no other choice. I\'ll do it, but that doesn\'t mean Sally will. I don\'t even know how she feels about elves in general. The only elves she\'s experienced are the ones who\'ve betrayed her, and she doesn\'t even know it. Her mother died before she could even be old enough to remember her. This is going to get really complicated really fast.
As Cera continues his walk to meet up with his two companions, developments are happening in both the capital of the Pleer Kingdom, the city of Pleer. As well as The Elven Kingdom. The elven queen sent spies to the Pleer Kingdom to search for and watch Slayer Zern and Sally. Today she\'s getting their first report back, and the elven queen is in direct contact with the king of Pleer. The queen is sitting in the private meeting room and looking at the nervous king. They are here to discuss her spy\'s findings.
I stare at the old king of Pleer. My spies have come across lots of information in the small amount of time they\'ve been searching. It turns out that Slayer Zern and the half-breed girl are, in fact, in the kingdom of Pleer. What\'s more, is the king also knew. Learned it via a letter from Kelly James. A noblewoman in the area that Slayer Zern and Saliandra are in. He isn\'t obligated to inform me, but now his kingdom has the full attention of the elves. Which isn\'t good for him, and he knows that too. So hopefully, he shares anything he knows and answers my questions.
He fidgets a bit, and I take a small breath. "Did you know that Slayer Zern and Saliandra are in your kingdom at this very moment?" He hesitates but slowly nods his head. "Were you aware of how important Slayer Zern is to the elven kingdom?" He nods his head again, and this time he seems a little annoyed. "Do tell why you didn\'t immediately inform us of this? I understand that you aren\'t obligated to, but there could\'ve been massive rewards in it for you. Now you\'ve just gained my suspicions." He stays calm, and I see him growing tired of this.
Before I can continue asking, he does something no one has ever done before. He flips me off and turns off the holocall. I don\'t know what to do... I\'m at a loss for words. I\'ve never in my many centuries as queen ever been so blatantly disrespected. "SON OF A BITCH!!! RAAAAA!!" I get up with a scream and crush the magical holocaller with my fist. My rage is quickly growing, and I have no idea how to calm it down. All I can see is his annoyed face and him flipping me off. Then to follow it up, he turns the holo call off. The scene plays over and over in my head.
I stand up and leave the room. I need to blow off some steam. I stomp through the halls of my palace, and there are small cracks in the white marble flooring as I do. Everyone that\'s ahead parts and waits for me to pass. I make it to my office, and I head straight for my door. I pull out a piece of paper and begin to write orders down to my spies. If he wants to play it like this, then so be it. I\'ll show him why you don\'t mess with me or my kingdom\'s affairs. My orders are to find and locate weaknesses in the king\'s palace and guard patrols.
