Chapter 617: Giran's 2nd trial, Divine Bird Rame Plan

After waiting for 6 hours, the God of Wind Ninlil finally woke up, looking at Allen with confusion.

"I'm Allen."

'Allen? Who's this? Why did you bring them here?'

He did not talk to Allen, but to the Archangel Ranran behind them.

(Merus said that Ninlil is really irresponsible and the Archangel does everything for him.)

While the Archangel looked rather playful, she seemed to have a lot of work to do.

Merus had also said that when Freya's Temple was attacked, the God of Earth Gaia and God of Water Aqua went immediately to help, but the God of Wind Ninlil continued sleeping.

'He's the first person to enter the divine realm in 10000 years. He's already overcome the trial given to his group by the Great Spirit God Easley as well~'

The Archangel quickly summed up who Allen was.

'Why is he here though? Send him to some other God.'

He placed his elbow on the ground and rested his head on his hand, looking annoyed.

In a way he resembled the statues of a sleeping buddha from Southeast Asia.

"..."

'Lord Ninlil just asked why you came here.'

It seemed like Allen was allowed to talk now.

"There's a service I'd like to request from the God of Wind Ninlil, that's why we came here."

'That sounds annoying, I decline.'

(I guess he's even less cooperative than Merus made him seem. Just like the wind.)

He refused without even asking what that service was.

"Could you at least listen to what it is we want?"

'Then make it quick, and then go away. I'm busy.'

He laid down on the clouds as he said that. He seemed to be busy with his naps.

Allen turned to look at Cecile and Sophie, and they nodded back.

Looking at the Wind God again, Allen explained why he was there.

"There's something I'd like to request from you. Could you please become a Higher God?"

'Huh? What are you talking about?'

'Allen, could you explain exactly what you mean~? That's not something we expected, so could you explain what led to this?'

(I guess they were thinking we'd ask for trials.)

The Archangel's voice was airy as usual, but her eyes were serious.

"Actually we received a trial from the Beast God Giran to turn the Mythical Bird Rame into a Divine Bird…"

Allen had rehearsed the conversation mentally during the 6 hours he waited, so he replied right away.

'The Beast God Giran did that… It's a bit hard to believe that so suddenly~'

'So what? What does that have to do with me becoming a Higher God?'

Ninlil had not wanted to talk, but now seemed at least a little curious.

"The people of Rameciel venerate the Mythical Bird Rame, but I also noticed that they pray to Lord Ninlil a lot more often. So for Rame to become a God, then Lord Ninlil should be a Higher God to maintain the frequency at which they pray to them."

'What are you talking about?'

"I'd like for Rame to be under your service."

'So you're trying to get Rame to tag along and become a God like that~?'

It seemed like the Archangel finally understood what Allen wanted to do.

"Yes. It's also to maintain the order of the divine realm. Birdmen appreciate how much Lord Ninlil has supported them over so many years, so I can't possibly allow someone else to take over that position."

'Who are you taking me for? Do you really think I'm going to agree to something like that?'

"But if things go the way I plan, it might only be a matter of time before you end up losing your position as a God. Is it really alright if one of the Four Great Gods ends up as a Demigod?"

Those serving a Higher God would become Gods.

But if someone else wanted to become a God, they would have to take the position of another one.

'I doubt that'll ever happen~'

"I'm just afraid of what would happen if one of the Four Great Gods wasn't a God."

'That's enough. Go away, I'm busy… Guu~ Guu~ Zzz…'

The God of Wind Ninlil lay down on the clouds and quickly fell asleep.

It seemed like he did not want to discuss things further.

(Well, at least I said what I had to say.)

"Thank you for listening to us. And I appreciate that you received us too, Archangel Ranran."

'Don't mention it/~ Good luck with the Beast God Giran's trial~'

"Thank you for the kind words. Regardless, we'll take our leave then."

Allen had said everything he had to say, so the three of them teleported away.

(Huh, she's still staring there. Oh well, we'll see what happens.)

Allen had left a Bird E summon high enough to still be able to see Ranran, letting him see what would happen once they left.

Somehow Ranran was left glaring at the spot where Allen's group had been standing.

***

Since Allen's group had to wait for 6 hours in front of the God of Wind, the sun was already setting.

The group teleported away to the entrance of the Earth labyrinth, where the blacksmiths were.

"Master Allen, I guess everything is going according to plan then."

As they walked on the reddish brown ground of the God of Earth's Temple, Sophie asked Allen.

Sophie and Cecile knew his plan, so they did not look too bothered by it.

"Yeah. We've talked to them, now we can put the Divine Bird Rame Plan into effect." 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺

"Yessir!!"

Since Kurena was not there, Sophie took over the role of giving exaggerated responses to Allen.

"I don't want to receive divine punishment… I really feel like even the Beast God Giran might not approve of this."

They eventually reached the workshop they were looking for.

Allen wanted to see if the request he made earlier had been completed.

"Alright, let's see how it's going…Ohh! Habarak, how's it going?"

Looking through the window, Allen saw a familiar figure inside.

"Ah? I heard you asked my assistants to make some strange things so I came to take a look, but what are these things?"

Today Merle's group was taking a 24 hour break after coming out of the Earth Labyrinth.

Merle was still asleep in the magic tent, but Habarak had woken up already.

Now he was looking at a metal plate that was around 3 meters long in total, showing Rame's image.

"Oh don't worry about it, it'll take too long to explain. It looks really good, though I'd like to have a few more."

Allen wanted 10 more.

"What for? Oh well. So my Skills have gotten better after that Extra Mode thing, I can make even better weapons now."

"I see, thank you very much. I'm sure my friends will be happy to hear that too."

(Maybe I can task him to renew all of our equipment now, just like before the Earth Labyrinth.)

Habarak had entered Extra Mode inside the Earth Labyrinth, and now his Skill Levels had also gone up.

Allen thanked the blacksmiths and left that place.

***

The visit to the workshop meant more time had passed.

Allen did not think it was very late yet, but Rameciel's King looked sleepy, as this time was considered late at night for him, but Allen had requested an audience.

The king was sitting on the throne, with his family, the prime minister, a few servants, and knights standing nearby. They were the same group that gathered whenever Allen was there.

(The king looks sleepy like always. I guess he always goes to sleep once the sun sets.)

When Allen was a serf, he was not usually around the light of magic devices.

They required Magic Stones to run, making them too expensive unlike in the big cities.

Maybe that cost was also why they were not used often in Rameciel, where the sun set early.

"Ohh, Allen, and everyone else. Thank you for working so hard for my kingdom."

The sleepy king spoke to Allen's group, who were kneeling in the audience hall.

"I appreciate the kind words. And sorry we keep bothering you so late at night."

Allen had been there at night for 3 days in a row.

"It's fine, it's all for Rameciel after all. Also I've arranged a monthly holiday in each city."

"That's incredible, I'm sure the Mythical Bird Rame that saved Rameciel will be pleased as well."

While Allen was gone, the king had tried to find ways to commemorate Rame more too.

"Your Majesty, let me talk about this. So Allen, how's your plan going?"

The prime minister spoke, telling the king to just rest in his throne.

"It's going smoothly. We weren't able to come to an agreement with the God of Wind Ninlil, so please use these from now on in Rameciel."

Saying that, Allen took out the magic device and iron plate that Habarak and his assistants had built.

(Bam! This is today's lineup! Take a closer look!!)

"Wh-what's this!!"

The prime minister was not sure what he was looking at.

Allen placed the enormous items in the audience hall.

It was a Distilling Magic Device (Extra Large), which was 5 meters tall, just like the ones used in the imperial capital.

"This is a Distilling Magic Device, which is used to purify water."

That device could provide enough water for 1000000 people in a day.

"Ohh, that's incredible. Won't it be really expensive though? I don't think our treasury could afford to splurge on something like this."

"As we're doing this to complete our own trials, we'll provide the device and the Magic Stones necessary to keep them running free of charge."

(Our products are far more efficient than those of the competition!)

"Are you sure about that?!!"

The prime minister had been worried about the cost of that, but his eyes quickly lit up when he heard he could get that for free. The king also sprang awake.

That made sense, as both cared deeply about the country.

"Also, these plates fit onto the devices."

Allen picked up the metal plate picturing Rame that the dwarves had made.

"Is that…the Mythical Bird Rame?"

"I'd really appreciate it if you could place these devices in public spaces where they'll be seen too, and not conceal them. Also, it might look a bit better if…"

Allen also mentioned that they should have artists paint the metal plates to better represent Rame's rainbow feathers.

"Wait, can I just ask something? You just have to say yes or no."

The prime minister was getting too weary, and he asked almost like it was a quiz.

He was already getting an idea of what Allen wanted to accomplish with those metal plates though.

(This prime minister is really sharp. Actually, he was also there when we did the survey so I guess he knows what Rame is lacking.)

"Go ahead."

"Are you planning on placing this device with the Mythical Bird Rame's image in the central plaza of the capital?"

"Think bigger."

"Bigger? Wait, so you want to do that in all cities then?"

The prime minister recalled that Allen asked for the survey to be conducted in 20 cities.

"Think even bigger." fr(e)enovelkiss

"Even bigger, then…"

"These magic devices will go everywhere, even in small towns and farmland. I'll also provide replacements for all the devices that run off wind in the country."

Allen declared firmly.
