Based on the direction that her eyes were pointing, it seemed like she was looking at something that was on my forehead.
Of course, I wasn't able to see my own forehead, so I had no idea what she was looking at.
But I did remember that Vivrum had placed a kiss on my forehead…
Could it be that she had done something special when she did that?
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The green haired elder didn't react at first, almost as if she couldn't hear what I said.
However, she then took out a mirror and handed it to me.
I was surprised that she would keep something like a mirror in her Storage Ring, but she was still a woman in the end…
I didn't say anything as I took the mirror from her and then looked at my forehead through it. As soon as I saw what was on my forehead, my lips couldn't help twitching…
It was a pair of lips that was imprinted on my head…
If I was to go out like this, there was no doubt that I would draw a lot of attention. However it wouldn't be any good attention…what was most likely is that people would look at me with strange looks.
I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile in the end since no matter how much I tried rubbing it, it wouldn't go away.
Could it be that I was going to have to live my life like this?
No, the green haired elder recognized this, so she should know what it is. That should be my clue to find a way to get rid of it.
The green haired elder had still been standing there in a daze when I turned around and she was still looking at the mark on my forehead in a daze. With the way that she was so focused on it, it really made me feel a bit awkward.
But I took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know what this mark is?"
The green haired elder was pulled out of her daze when she heard me and she gave a slow nod, but she didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile before asking, "Can you tell me what it is?"
The green haired elder narrowed her eyes to look at my forehead before saying, "That is the Mark of Life."
"Mark of Life?" I couldn't help repeating after her. After thinking for a bit to see if I had ever encountered this, I then asked, "What is this Mark of Life?"
The green haired elder didn't speak right away and instead revealed a strange look.
After hesitating a bit, she finally said, "The Mark of Life is the special mark given by the Goddess of Life. It is only used to mark those that she had shown favour towards, as symbolized by the leaves of the Tree of Life on one's forehead."
Leaves?
I looked closely at the mirror again and found that what I had thought were lip marks were actually leaves. But no matter how I looked at them…they really did seem similar to a kiss mark instead of being leaves.
After the green haired elder said this, she didn't say anything else as she kept staring at me.
But this wasn't the information that I wanted.
There was still something else that I wanted from her, so I asked, "Is there a way to get rid of this?"
The moment that the green haired elder heard this, her chin immediately dropped down.
After a few seconds of silence, she revealed an agitated look and said, "Those words are blasphemy! This is the sacred mark from the Goddess of Life and you want to get rid of it?! Do you understand what kind of sacrilege you are saying right now?"
I couldn't help taking a step back when I saw her agitated appearance, but I then said, "Well, is there at least a way to make it so that it isn't as visible? You should understand how conspicuous it is to have something like this on my forehead."
The green haired elder looked at me like I was a fool before shaking her head. She put her head in her hand and said, "How did this fool get the sacred mark? This is something that all elves dream of and never have a chance to get. Even if they do get it, they wouldn't want it to fade at all since having this mark is a sign of glory. This idiot even wants to make it disappear…"
She kept muttering to herself, but I could clearly hear it…
It was almost as if she was directly complaining to me which caused a bitter smile to appear on my face.
I could tell just how important this mark was to the elven race from these words, but from my perspective, it was something that was a bother.
So I was about to open my mouth to say something else.
But before that, there was a voice that rang out in my head.
"Just think about it disappearing and it'll disappear."
I couldn't help looking around myself when I heard this voice, but I wasn't able to find a single thing.
Of course, I wasn't confused as to who this voice belonged to since I had heard it not long ago.
It was Vivrum, the Goddess of Life.
Since this was what she told me, I did what she said and thought about making the mark disappear.
While doing so, I made sure to hold the mirror up so I could see the mark in the reflection.
As she had advised, after willing it to disappear, it soon faded from my forehead until it was completely gone.
When I saw this, I let out a sigh of relief.
But there was no time for me to relax at all as the green haired elder suddenly shouted something.
"What did you do!?"
