"Second choice, I will choose you to be my spokesperson in the world." Pero said.
"What is that?" Erin was a little confused.
"To put it simply, I will always pay attention to your performance for ten years. As long as your performance satisfies me within ten years, then I will give you more divine favor after ten years. With my help Under this, you can easily become a senior member of my Order of Tomorrow. And eventually, you will become the female pope with my help." Pero said.
Erin's heart beat again. She knew that Pelor's second reward was power. Although she has never been interested in things like power and fighting, standing at the pinnacle of power is something that not everyone can refuse. Erin also understands the benefits of power. With it, even a person with no power can still control the life and death of millions of people.
It can be said that Pelor's second choice is no less tempting to her than the first one. The rewards that Pelor gave her were very useful and irresistible.
"The third reward is that I will restore your appearance. I can even make you more attractive." Pero's voice was as seductive as the whisper of a devil.
"Huh?" Erin was stunned.
"Let you take a look first." Pero created a mirror in front of Irene.
A look of disbelief flashed across Erin's face when she saw the mirror. It was a face she had never dreamed of.
Her skin was as white and soft as hard-boiled egg white, and looked as if it would break with the slightest touch of a finger. Moreover, the original scars on his face that were as ferocious as demons have all faded away, replaced by incredibly delicate facial features.
The soft but clear silver-white curved eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and the eyes under the eyebrows have an intoxicating silver-gray light, like the most shining stars in the night sky. Her nose is delicate and straight, not the ugly curled-out look it once had. And those lips are no longer what they used to be. The pink lip flesh is very clearly distinguished from the skin around the face, and the slightly upturned corners of the mouth are somewhat charming and playful.
Beauty, if Irene herself has a definition of beauty, then she will definitely agree with her own beauty. Yes, the beauty of that face completely exceeded her imagination. She once dreamed that the scars on her face disappeared and she turned into a lively and lovely little girl.
But she had never dreamed that she could be so beautiful. If she had such a face, she would no longer have any sense of inferiority even when standing next to Annelotte!
"My divine power has purified away the remaining debris in your soul, and this is what you should have been." Pero said lightly: "Not only that, I can also make you more beautiful and perfect than before. Do you like it?"
Erin's whole body was trembling slightly, she liked it, she liked it very much, she liked it very much! Even a beautiful noble daughter would devote all her money to pursuing such a face, let alone Irene, who had been ugly and inferior for more than ten years, and had endured others' disgust and contempt for more than ten years
Every woman wants to be beautiful. This is a woman's nature. No matter how thoughtful or stoic a woman is, she cannot escape from this circle. What woman wouldn't like to be beautiful? What's more, this was originally something that belonged to Irene, and this was originally what Irene was like. If it weren't for the scars, if it weren't for these annoying scars, how could she be like this? How could she have lived in fear under the hateful eyes of others for more than ten years? !
Erin almost heard the cry from the deepest part of her heart. Deep in her heart, there was another person who was screaming for her to choose this. This is what she dreams of, this is the way to cut off the root of her tragic fate for more than ten years. Ugly appearance! This is the original sin she bears! As long as she gets rid of it, her world will become different in an instant! Just get rid of it! Just get rid of it!
"The fourth option." Pero's voice made Irene regain some sense. She heard Pero continue to say: "The fourth option is unknown."
"???" Erin looked puzzled.
"The reason why it is unknown is that I don't know what this gift will be." Pero said: "I have tested your destiny network, so I found that there is a piece of paper in an area of your destiny network. Dark areas.”
"????" Erin was still confused.
"This means that your future will have several directions that will be very important. It may also mean that the world will undergo very big changes in the future. But what exactly is going on, I cannot predict." Pero explained: "And this A gift is a preparation for what may happen in the future.”
"Will things in the future definitely happen? Those terrible things?" Erin asked.
"No, if fate is like a thread, then that area is a dead knot." Pero said: "So I can't figure out what happened at that time, and I can't judge whether these things will happen. It will happen, and again, I don’t know whether these things are good or bad.”
"So, is this fourth gift to prevent unknown good or bad things that may happen in the future?" Eileen asked.
"You can say that, but it's not entirely true." Pero said: "I said, I don't know what this fourth thing is and what role it will have. The only thing I can be sure of is that it has something to do with it. It is related to the dead knot in the future. Whether those things will happen or what this gift will bring to you, I don’t know. I can even tell you that this fourth gift can be said to be destiny itself. Maybe it can change your destiny. There is one more thread, and it is a destiny that you have never been able to have before. As for whether it is good or bad, I don't know."
"In that case..." Irene thought for a while. Strength and power were certainly tempting, but to her, beauty was far from as tempting as it was. Not to mention the last one which is a bit unclear! I don’t even know if it’s good or bad when I get it. This thing is the least attractive in Eileen’s opinion.
But Pero's next words caused a big change in Irene's attitude: "I must remind you that everyone's destiny is related to other people. So, not only can I see you from the destiny network, You will also see the threads of other people's destiny. And in that knot, there are the threads of fate of your companions."
"What!?" Irene was shocked. If her current decision would affect her companions, then she would have to think carefully again.
"And the most obvious thread among them belongs to the human named Regnar." Pero dropped another bombshell.
"..." Irene fell into a long silence. If not for Pero's last two words, Irene would have chosen the third gift without hesitation. But after hearing Pero's words, she once again fell into a difficult decision.
And Pero seemed to understand how difficult this decision would be for Irene, so he waited patiently without any urging.
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, half an hour, an hour... One hour and twelve minutes later, Erin finally raised her head.
"Decided?" Pero asked.
"Yes." Erin nodded: "I choose the fourth one."
"Oh?" Pero was obviously a little surprised. In his opinion, any of his first three choices was more tempting than the last one. He wouldn't even have put this last gift here if it weren't for some reasons, and he didn't expect that Irene actually chose this last gift.
"Are you sure?" Pero asked. Irene's final decision made him a little puzzled: "Your choice will probably not have any change in the future, because that knotted fate will probably not happen. Even if it does, Your choice may not necessarily bring you any benefits. Even so, do you still want to choose the fourth gift?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Irene replied without hesitation. For her, strength, power and appearance were far less important than Regnar.
She would rather have a rough life than anything bad might happen to Regnar in the future. The relationship between two people who supported each other when they were young is more important to her than anything else, and this boy who has always blocked her behind is the person she cherishes the most. In Eileen's eyes, he means a lot. It’s unimaginable! Therefore, although she was a little reluctant to give up, she still made such a choice. Even if it's just unknown, even if it's probably meaningless, as long as it's related to him, Irene doesn't want to take any risks!
"One last time, are you sure?" Pero looked very patient.
"Sure! It won't change!" Erin replied firmly. When she said these words, this girl who had no power to tie a chicken and had been laughed at and hated by others stretched out her hand to fate, and then tightly grabbed the very crucial thread. She never thought that her decision would affect the entire world in the future...
"That... great God." Irene stammered: "I don't know, can you satisfy my small request?"
"Oh, you little girl is getting greedy now. Who looked reluctant in front of my gift just now?" There was a hint of smile in Pero's voice.
"Well..." Erin blushed and said coyly: "Can you help me remove the scars on my face? I don't expect to be able to look like this, but I at least want to look like... um... look. It’s more normal to go up there.”
"Of course..." Pero replied without hesitation: "No!"
Erin's face turned from radiant to gray in an instant.
"You should know how much impact the scar on your face has on your life." Pero said: "I gave you the fourth gift, which will have a certain impact on your destiny. If I remove it again, The mark on your face will have an impact on your destiny again. And this is not allowed."
"Why?" Irene's pretty face showed deep disappointment.
"Because even gods cannot influence the fate of a mortal too much. Otherwise, we will still be punished by the original rules of this world." Pero patiently explained: "I have said, my fourth gift It has already had an impact on your destiny. If I repair the scars on your face at this time, it will have a great impact on your destiny. Every life has its own unique destiny, and even gods, Nor can it have too much influence on the fate of a mortal. If he does so, he is likely to be counterattacked by the original rules of the world. So, no."
"Ah, I'm sorry, great God, Irene didn't mean to harm you, Irene... Irene just..." Irene was startled. She originally thought that this matter was just a trivial matter to Perro, But he didn't expect that his request would threaten God himself. Oh my God, God wouldn't blame Irene for this, right? Erin really didn’t mean it!
"Don't be afraid, my child." Perot fully demonstrated his tolerance and kindness at this time, and his voice was still gentle: "Don't think of God as such a petty person, condemning his believers for a small mistake or offense. God doesn't deserve the faith of his followers. I don't blame you for that."
"Thank you for your mercy, great God." Irene wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was really crying just now. On the one hand, it was because she had offended the gods, and on the other hand, because she was sure that she He is still the ugly guy...
Peiro didn't say anything more. Two rays of light came out of his eyes again. They shone directly on Irene's body, and were then absorbed by the half-elf girl.
"You have received all the gifts I have given you. Now, you can leave." Pero's voice took on an irresistible majesty. As soon as his words fell, Irene felt the space she was in now. Gradually collapsed. Then, a dazzling light appeared in front of her eyes. When Erin came back to her senses, she found herself kneeling on the mat looking up at the statue of Pelor. Martin on the side was still praising his god with a face full of enthusiasm.
