Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Vol. 11 - Chapter 617 - Giran's 2nd trial, Divine Bird Rame
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.
(rus said that Ninlil is really irresponsible and the Archangel does everything for him.)
While the Archangel looked rather playful, she seed to have a lot of work to do.
rus had also said that when Freya's Temple was attacked, the God of Earth Gaia and God of Water Aqua went imdiately 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 overco the trial given to his group by the Great Spirit God Easley as well~'
The Archangel quickly sumd up who Allen was.
'Why is he here though? Send him to so 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 ca here.'
It seed 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 ca here."
'That sounds annoying, I decline.'
(I guess he's even less cooperative than rus 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 seed 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 sothing I'd like to request from you. Could you please beco a Higher God?"
'Huh? What are you talking about?'
'Allen, could you explain exactly what you an~? That's not sothing 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 Ra into a Divine Bird…"
Allen had rehearsed the conversation ntally 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 becoming a Higher God?'
Ninlil had not wanted to talk, but now seed at least a little curious.
"The people of Raciel venerate the Mythical Bird Ra, but I also noticed that they pray to Lord Ninlil a lot more often. So for Ra to beco 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 Ra to be under your service."
'So you're trying to get Ra to tag along and beco a God like that~?'
It seed like the Archangel finally understood what Allen wanted to do.
"Yes. It's also to maintain the order of the divine realm. Birdn appreciate how much Lord Ninlil has supported them over so many years, so I can't possibly allow soone else to take over that position."
'Who are you taking for? Do you really think I'm going to agree to sothing like that?'
"But if things go the way I plan, it might only be a matter of ti 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 beco Gods.
But if soone else wanted to beco 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 seed 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 ntion 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.
Sohow 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 Ra Plan into effect."
"Yessir!!"
Since Kurena was not there, Sophie took over the role of giving exaggerated responses to Allen.
"I don't want to receive divine punishnt… 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 so strange things so I ca to take a look, but what are these things?"
Today rle's group was taking a 24 hour break after coming out of the Earth Labyrinth.
rle was still asleep in the magic tent, but Habarak had woken up already.
Now he was looking at a tal plate that was around 3 ters long in total, showing Ra'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 equipnt 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 ant more ti had passed.
Allen did not think it was very late yet, but Raciel's King looked sleepy, as this ti was considered late at night for him, but Allen had requested an audience.
The king was sitting on the throne, with his family, the pri minister, a few servants, and knights standing nearby. They were the sa 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 Raciel, 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 Raciel after all. Also I've arranged a monthly holiday in each city."
"That's incredible, I'm sure the Mythical Bird Ra that saved Raciel will be pleased as well."
While Allen was gone, the king had tried to find ways to commorate Ra more too.
"Your Majesty, let talk about this. So Allen, how's your plan going?"
The pri minister spoke, telling the king to just rest in his throne.
"It's going smoothly. We weren't able to co to an agreent with the God of Wind Ninlil, so please use these from now on in Raciel."
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 pri 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 ters 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 sothing 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 pri 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 tal plate picturing Ra that the dwarves had made.
"Is that…the Mythical Bird Ra?"
"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 ntioned that they should have artists paint the tal plates to better represent Ra's rainbow feathers.
"Wait, can I just ask sothing? You just have to say yes or no."
The pri 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 tal plates though.
(This pri minister is really sharp. Actually, he was also there when we did the survey so I guess he knows what Ra is lacking.)
"Go ahead."
"Are you planning on placing this device with the Mythical Bird Ra's image in the central plaza of the capital?"
"Think bigger."
"Bigger? Wait, so you want to do that in all cities then?"
The pri minister recalled that Allen asked for the survey to be conducted in 20 cities.
"Think even bigger."
"Even bigger, then…"
"These magic devices will go everywhere, even in small towns and farmland. I'll also provide replacents for all the devices that run off wind in the country."
Allen declared firmly.
