Although Zicomo wasn't interested in things like faith, he did admire the 'Golden Mask'.

Daring to question one's own beliefs and break through existing frameworks to seek ways to perfect one's beliefs.

This is not the kind of courage that ordinary believers possess.

At least Colin, the apprentice of 'Gold Mask', couldn't do that.

He was just a blind believer.

After learning that his teacher was questioning the Golden Law, Colin thought the 'Golden Mask' had gone mad.

Ultimately, they chose to part ways.

The 'Golden Mask' was a true seeker of truth, and also a respectable martyr.

Melina was surprised to find a rune here that could be used to repair the Elden Ring.

Looking at Zicomo's eyes, which were filled with emotion and respect.

Melina guessed, "You want to use this rune to repair the Elden Ring?"

Zicomo looked at Melina with surprise and asked, "Why would you have such an idea?"

Melina asked, puzzled, "If not, why are you looking at it with such a complicated expression?"

Zicomo understood that the 'it' Melina referred to was 'the Rune of Perfect Law'.

He shook his head and laughed, "You misunderstood. I'm not looking at this Rune, but at this person."

"Besides, do you think I would hand over this rune now that I've got it?"

Melina recalled what she had learned some time ago: that Zicomo had used the great runes of various kings to water the golden tree in the "Zen Garden".

She realized she had just asked a stupid question.

So Melina decided to let the matter of Rune go.

She pointed to the 'gold mask' and asked, "Is there anything special about this person?"

Zicomo briefly recounted the story between the "Gold Mask" and Colin.

Melina suddenly understood after hearing this.

No wonder Zicomo looked at him with such a complicated expression.

It is not difficult to question faith; those whose faith is not firm will question it.

The difficulty lies in the fact that a person who firmly pursues their faith does not abandon it after questioning it.

Instead, they sought ways to perfect their faith, even sacrificing their lives for it.

4.5

Such a person truly deserves respect.

However, this respect is limited to that.

Melina was also not particularly interested in religion.

All she cared about was how to save the creatures in the border region and restore them to normalcy.

As for which rune or major rune Zicomo used to repair the Elden Ring, or even whether to repair it at all, she didn't care.

Zicomo carefully put away the 'Perfect Law Restoration Rune' and led Melina deeper into the royal city.

After climbing a flight of stairs, take the elevator to the upper level of the royal city.

In a large hall, Zicomo spotted a familiar figure.

This person is none other than the old patron, Sir Gideon O. Smith.

Upon noticing Zicomo's arrival, 'Sir Hundred' slowly turned around...

Chapter 338 'Sir Hundred Wisdom's Surprise, Melina the Gossip Girl

"Are you preparing to pay homage to the Elden Ring and become the King of Elden? Faded..."

As 'Sir Hundred Wisdom' spoke, he turned around, but his words caught in his throat the moment he saw Melina.

The eyes beneath the helmet, its surface covered with countless eye and ear patterns, were filled with disbelief.

He exclaimed in surprise, "How could you still be alive?"

The phrase "Sir Hundred Wisdom" was clearly not said to Zicomo.

After all, he had anticipated Zicomo's arrival.

At this moment, along with Zicomo arrived someone who surprised 'Sir Hundred' – Melina.

From Sir Hundred's questions, it's clear that he knows Melina.

They even knew what Melina's mission was.

Given that Sir Hundred's allegiance was to Queen Marika, it's not surprising that he knew this.

Melina did not answer Sir Hundred's question.

Although she knew of 'Sir Hundred Wisdom', the two had no connection.

Moreover, her resurrection involves Zicomo's secrets.

30 Melina had no obligation to answer 'Sir Hundred's questions without Zicomo's permission.

Looking ahead, someone jokingly said, "Aren't you known as 'Sir Hundred Wisdoms'? What, there are things you don't know about this border region?"

Judging from the attitudes of Komo and Melina, 'Sir Hundred' knew that the two of them had no intention of answering his question.

He returned to the topic at the beginning.

"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, that's fine. That's not why I'm standing here waiting for you today."

"If you insist on having an audience with the Elden Ring, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't grant your wish."

"Because what Queen Marika wants us to do is maintain the status quo and keep struggling."

Zicomo raised an eyebrow at 'Sir Hundred's' words.

Zicomo asked, "Oh? From what you're saying, this is Marika's will?"

The thorns that rejected everything on the Golden Tree had long been burned away, so it's not impossible that Sir Hundred Wisdoms entered the Golden Tree before that and met Queen Marika.

To keep everything at the border as it is, and to keep struggling.

This approach certainly aligns with Marika's wishes.

After all, in her plan, as long as the status quo is maintained, the ultimate winner will definitely be the 'Dead Prince' Godwin, who will continue to spread death through the roots of the golden tree.

Unfortunately, she was imprisoned inside the Golden Tree and was unaware that the 'Dead Prince' had already been dealt with by Zicomo.

I wonder what Marika's expression will be when she finds out about this.

Sir Hundred Wisdom thought he had persuaded Zicomo.

He nodded and advised, "That's right, retreat. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Zicomo scoffed, "You need to understand one thing: it's you, not me, who's following Marika's will."

Sir Hundred Wisdom sighed, "Why be so stubborn?"

Zicomo said, "There's no point in saying more. Let's settle the score for when you sent someone to assassinate me in the Round Table Hall."

Seeing this, Sir Hundred Wisdom said no more and raised the Hundred Wisdom Scepter in his hand.

Even he, who had been sitting in the Round Table for many years, had heard about Zicomo's exploits.

This is the Faded One who has defeated many gods and demigods; 'Sir Hundred' is not actually confident in dealing with Zicomo.

Moreover, Zicomo has Melina by his side, whose strength is unknown.

But Sir Hundred had reasons to stop Zicomo.

Melina, standing next to Zicomo, drew her black knife, poised to strike.

Once the battle begins, she will not hesitate to charge at 'Sir Hundred Wisdom'.

However, Zicomo stopped her.

He told Melina, "You don't need to get involved. I have some personal grudges to settle with him."

Melina nodded, sheathed her black knife, and retreated to the edge of the hall. She then took out a bag of sunflower seeds to watch the show.

Zicomo's lips twitched when he saw this.

A while ago, when Harry and Draco were dueling, Zicomo took Melina and the others to see a play.

At that moment, Zicomo casually slipped a handful of sunflower seeds into Melina's hand.

As it turns out, this little blockhead seems to have grasped the essence of being a spectator without any instruction.

Melina always keeps several packets of sunflower seeds in her storage ring, just in case she wants to watch a play.

Seeing that Zicomo's attention was not on him after declaring war on him, 'Sir Hundred' was filled with resentment.

Although he knew he might not be able to beat Zicomo, his pride wouldn't allow Zicomo to look down on him like that.

Therefore, he launched the first attack on Zicomo.
