Hestia stared at Roland in disbelief, but his sincere words were absolutely untrue.
Although her body was nodding honestly, her reason still restrained her.
"But I only have one person in my family, so I can't give you much help..."
Hestia lowered her eyes nervously and said uneasily.
On the way to find her family members in the past, she would encounter failure every time she reached this step, so she looked into Roland's eyes with great uneasiness.
"As a starting point for heroes, it couldn't be more appropriate. The hero who is alone and the god who has nothing, I believe this will be a wonderful legend."
Looking at the dizzy Hestia, Roland smiled helplessly.
"So, your answer?"
"I...I...of course I agree. How about, please, please become my family!"
The blushing Hestia nodded her head like a rattle, her two ponytails dangling.
Because she was too excited, she blurted out what was on her mind.
It's over. It's obviously the first time we meet, but you say words that seem to express love. Isn't this the same as those romantic gods? I am a famous virgin goddess in the heaven, how can I fall in love with my own family... No, this seems to be very common in the lower world.
"Then, the contract is established. From now on, the Hestia Familia will lead the entire Orario!"
Under the witness of the gods, the Hestia Familia and the legendary hero took the first step together.
——
After a while, under the leadership of Hestia, Roland came to a dilapidated bookstore. According to her own words, she had decided to choose this place when giving her first favor a long time ago.
She thinks that for her who loves books, this place is the perfect place to start.
The beginning of the legend should be in a place like this surrounded by many books.
After briefly saying hello to the white-haired old man on the first floor, Roland and Esther entered a room that smelled of old wood.
Overstuffed bookcases occupied the four walls of the room, and there were mountains of books in front of the bookcases.
Hestia, who didn't even have money to buy books, often spent time in this library thanks to the kindness of the shop owner.
"Then, it's still too late for you to regret it. Once you have the favor, it's not that easy to get away even if you want to change your religion."
Hestia said seriously, "If you want to refuse, I won't blame you."
After taking Esther to the chair next to her and sitting down, Roland also looked at Hestia.
"Don't worry, just give me a favor, Hestia."
After confirming the contractual relationship, Roland changed the name Hestia used, and Hestia was not even aware of this move, which was enough to make the other main gods frown.
She just patted the chair next to her excitedly.
"Then let's get started, Roland. Take off your upper body clothes. I will use the divine blood as a medium to engrave sacred words on your body. After that, it will be your favor."
Roland took off his shirt skillfully and just sat on the chair. Hestia took out a box from nowhere, took out a needle, and pricked her fingertip.
The bright red blood dripped gently on Roland's back, allowing the power that belongs only to the gods to begin to appear.
Although it looks very similar to common content in online games such as ability points and upgrades, favors are essentially different from them.
Favors serve more as a primer, guiding the past history and possibilities of the person holding the favors, turning them into a catalyst called experience points, accelerating the speed of becoming stronger.
It's not that having favor will definitely make you a strong person, but that favor shortens the process that those who would otherwise become strong have to go through.
After Hestia's divine blood dripped on Roland's back, light blue light set off ripples in the air like water waves. Obscure and mysterious words slowly floated from the light and were continuously combined.
"Okay, next, as long as you wait for the sacred text to appear, your ability values and potential will appear on it."
The sacred text will guide all the possibilities of the owner's body, just like a blank book. In the following time, the path Roland has traveled, the accumulated experience and possibilities will be recorded on it.
Seeing this scene, Hestia nodded with satisfaction and looked at the text behind Roland expectantly. After all, he was the legendary sword hero. What potential would he have?
But because of this, Hestia failed to notice the strange look on Roland's face when he was sitting there.
In Roland's mind, a blank panel flashed before the sacred text.
Apart from the most basic ability values, there is nothing else, and whenever his consciousness touches those blank spaces, it will easily leave traces.
Did you fill in the original favor panel yourself?
Although the moment Hestia's divine blood was integrated into her body, the thousand wisdom from the Holy Lord began to analyze this unknown power and use it for her own use, the final result is still beyond Roland's imagination. expected.
And it seemed that because he had not yet made a decision, Hestia, who had given a favor to others for the first time, also felt a little confused.
"Eh? Why hasn't it finished appearing yet...Did I make a mistake somewhere?"
Fill it in however you like, the panels are all paper anyway.
Roland didn't hesitate anymore and randomly checked a few of the most common abilities among the blank options.
Along with his thoughts, those mysterious sacred words finally formed a template-like sequence and appeared in front of Hestia's eyes.
When she saw the ability values emerging behind Roland, Hestia blinked and showed a very subtle expression.

Possibility personified -

-
All options related to luck will always lead to the most desired results.
Hestia carefully scanned the text behind Roland. Needless to say, the basic abilities and levels were of course the same. The same was true for magic. In this world, this ability was originally a privilege exclusive to elves and goblins. Other races could only discover it through grace. out this possibility.
The number of magics discovered by Favor is only three at most. Most people only have the possibility of obtaining one kind of magic. This number is quite suitable for Roland's title of hero.
With such a generous magic bar, even if no magic is obtained, there will still be families rushing to take over this good seedling.
But the words described in the three columns of skills completely shocked Hestia. Skills will reflect a person's essence and desires, and are also the easiest to guide, with the possibility of change. Roland has more than one Hestia had already expected this aspect of the skills, but what these skills represented made Hestia unable to remain calm any longer.
She quickly picked up the parchment she had prepared long ago, and while rubbing the words on it, she recalled what the sacred words had just described.
The wisdom of a thousand that directly ignores the essence of the magic column, the incarnation of the possibility of ignoring the maximum limit of growth speed and upper limit in favor, and the favored person who seems to be destined to start a great career and is embraced by luck.
Compared with other people in the lower world, he cheated too much. He cheated to the point where this news was announced. Instead of being jealous and unwilling, there were probably people who were so desperate that they committed suicide.
These skills that tell the essence are just like saying that Roland is not a human being, but a god.
After getting dressed casually, Roland, who already knew the result, just casually took the parchment and glanced at it.
"Well enough."
He gave a rather bland assessment.
"To this extent, it can't be described in any other way... I have never heard of such a rare skill in all my life."
Hestia was a little confused, but then she became serious.
"Do you want me to help you lock up your ability values? To avoid being exposed later and causing trouble. Even if you, as a hero, have this kind of skill, you will be targeted by many unnecessary people."
"No need, the person who can see this sacred text against my will probably doesn't exist in this world yet."
Roland stretched his body and said nonchalantly.
"Besides, it doesn't matter even if it's exposed."
It's not off but it's on?
Regardless of whether Roland exposed his abilities or not, he was destined to attract a lot of prying eyes as he defeated Ais without receiving any favor.
A conspirator and careerist, as long as he is still active in Orario and wants to lead the era of heroes, it is impossible for this mixed city to stop testing him.
"But are all the basic ability values zero?"
Roland stared at the conspicuous number on the parchment and fell into silence.
"This is a normal situation. Favor is just an accelerator, not a panacea."
As if worried that Roland would be dissatisfied, Hestia hurriedly explained.
"It is based on your current power as the basic ability. Those numbers only represent proficiency. It is as if you have received the favor now, but you still don't feel like you suddenly become stronger, right?"
Hestia leaned close to Roland and lightly traced the numbers on the parchment with her fingers.
"In fact, the so-called getting stronger after upgrading is just the imagination of children who have not received favors. The causal relationship between the two is the opposite. Only when you get stronger will you upgrade. In the future, you will not have a clear path to becoming stronger. This feeling of reaching the sky in one step is because in the process of exercising, those accumulations and abilities have been invisibly integrated into your instincts, turning into the power of your arms and fingers."
"Because your natural upper limit is higher than that of other adventurers, so even if your proficiency has only improved slightly, you will still feel that there is a huge gap with your previous self. This is because the power in your body still does not completely belong to you. Because of being mastered.”
Having said this, Hestia felt a little proud.
"And the role of our gods is to allow you to see where you are talented and to guide you to make up for your shortcomings."
To improve any ability value, you have to do relevant exercises in this area, attack, use magic, and run. These experiences will be multiplied back to the owner with the promotion of grace.
The full value of each stage is 99. From i to s, there are ten stages in total. The closer to the upper limit, the slower the growth. But for most people, when they reach d, it basically means that their potential has been reached. The upper limit is reached, and the rest of the growth depends on the talent and ability in that area.
After all attributes reach d, the basic requirements for upgrade are met.
"How is it, Mr. Luolan, are you disappointed with the favor?"
Hestia subconsciously moved closer, making Roland's arm feel warm and soft.
"No, I think grace is really a good thing."
For Roland now, Favor couldn't be more suitable. He has already felt that the power in his body has changed and is beginning to become more balanced.
Because he was being held by Hestia, Roland couldn't move his hands and feet too much, but he still stood up as much as possible, handed over his other arm, and stood up on his own initiative, hugging her silently. Esther.
"Well……"
Seeing Esther clinging to Roland, Hestia suddenly became angry. On the one hand, it was because Esther's contract was concluded earlier than her, and on the other hand, because, as a response to her emotions, A very sensitive god, she could feel that Esther had very deep feelings for Roland.
This is no longer the attachment of ordinary fairies to their masters, but something that requires more vigilance.
This is evil! How can fairies fall in love with humans? They can't even have children! Wait, the gods seem to be...
Just as Hestia was lost in thought, Roland suddenly raised his head.
"Speaking of which, grace is essentially a kind of divine magic."
"Eh? Yes..."
Hestia said with some confusion: "Although it is essentially a gift given to the people of the lower world, it is actually a magic spell of the gods, so it is exactly the same. After the conversion, the divine blood of other gods can also perform abilities. renew."
"So, the key to the favor is not the user, but the nature of the technique and power?"
Roland nodded clearly, his heart moved, and the power from his essence flashed behind him.
The next moment, a new information panel appeared in front of him.
Magic i (6)
Sure enough, the essence of grace is just a spell, which is almost incomprehensible to humans, but it is still far from the upper limit of the Holy Lord's wisdom. Although many spells have been forgotten, as a demon wizard who represents the upper limit of the world, this The points are genuine.
This technique has been integrated into the body, even the panel, and even self-renewal can be completed by Roland without relying on Hestia, which is the best proof.
So, if we were a little bolder and gave the option of giving our blessings to others, would it be possible?
Although Roland does not have divine blood, he has a substitute that is definitely not inferior to divine blood. The evil desires from human beings and the demonic energy of fire are all powers with similar properties, or even superior ones.
Even noble heroic spirits will be distorted and reversed by this power, so those adventurers must not be able to resist this malice.
The corners of Roland's mouth gradually widened, revealing a cheerful smile.
If this is the case, the prototype of a new family is just around the corner.
Belongs to the [Holy Lord]’s dependents.
