Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

The students and professors at Hogwarts were waiting for him to appease them.

Yes, this is the second time today.

This time, Zicomo made a bigger commotion than he did that morning by the Black Lake.

Snape needs to figure out how to gloss over this.

Thinking about this made Snape feel exhausted.

As expected, there are always advantages and disadvantages to Zicomo staying at Hogwarts.

As a result, every time Zicomo makes a fuss, he has to clean up the mess for him.

But what can you do when he's Zicomo's nominal mentor?

What else can we do? Go back and comfort her again!

After watching Snape leave, Zicomo patted Ifrit on the head.

He said, “Let’s go back to the ‘Zen Garden’ and familiarize ourselves with your powers.”

He also needs to familiarize himself with the Death Scepter, which is an upgraded artifact.

This is to ensure that he can unleash his full strength in the upcoming battle at the border.

Ifrit nestled on Zicomo's shoulder and nodded obediently.

…………

The border region, the royal city... no, it should now be called the Ash Royal City of Rodel.

Rodel, located at the foot of the Golden Tree, was the area most severely affected after the Golden Tree was burned.

Ashes filled the air, and sparks from burning firewood still floated in the air.

Even the battlefield originally created on the outer walls of Rodel during the Second Great War of the Allied Kings was buried by sandstorms.

More than a month later, Zicomo returned to the border area.

As soon as he and Melina set foot in Rodel City, they saw a soul that had not yet returned to the tree.

The soul knelt on the ground facing the golden tree.

He kept repeating, "Look! The golden tree still stands tall. Despite being burned by the flames of destruction, it still stands firm."

...Hahaha, since that's the case, then we'll remain the people of gold...

As soon as he finished speaking, a burning branch suddenly fell from the sky and landed at Zicomo's feet.

As Zicomo watched this scene, he wanted to say to the spirit, "Look, the golden tree is shaking."

However, he also knew that these people had already gone almost insane long after the ring shattered.

You can't reason with a madman.

Therefore, Zicomo always prefers action to words when he travels to border areas.

He took out the Death Scepter and gently touched the soul before him.

This soul transformed into the purest soul power, which was absorbed by the Death Scepter.

This is one of the uses of the Death Staff that Zicomo has been figuring out during this period.

It can transform the souls of all things into the purest soul power, which is then stored in the Death Scepter.

It can then be used to enhance the Death Scepter, or extracted and used for other purposes.

Although the amount of pure soul power that a single soul can generate is very small, Zicomo still understands the principle that little by little, one can accumulate great power.

Therefore, he did not let go of the soul before him.

After dealing with all of this, Zicomo turned his gaze back to the branch that had just fallen.

Feeling the familiar scent emanating from the flames on the branches.

Zicomo asked Melina beside him, "This shouldn't fall into the category of ash flames anymore, right?"

After all, in his previous life, when he played games, there was never a scene of burning branches falling from a golden tree.

At first, Zicomo thought it was just that the game's presentation was inadequate and didn't depict a realistic scene of burning trees.

When Zicomo could sense the flames on the branches, he knew it had nothing to do with the game's expressiveness.

This flame possesses the characteristics of all three flames he threw into the giant's cauldron of fire.

He then asked why the golden tree had been burned so badly.

Logically speaking, the flames Melina ignited should have burned away at most the thorns on the surface of the golden tree that rejected everything.

But what about now? The golden trees have almost been burned bare.

Chapter 337 The Martyr 'Golden Mask', the Old Protector 'Sir Hundred Wisdoms'

By this time, the golden tree's lush foliage had been completely burned.

Some of the thinner branches were also burned to a crisp, falling piece by piece from the sky.

If Zicomo hadn't thrown in those three types of flames when he burned the trees...

The current situation is naturally different.

But he did it anyway, in order to experiment with a way to bypass Melina's method of burning trees.

Then, under the influence of the giant's cauldron of fire, the three flames merged into one, forming an even more powerful flame.

As a result, the golden tree was burned to its current state.

The fire had already burned to charcoal, but it still hadn't gone out.

Melina also realized the problem.

She asked Zicomo, "What were those three kinds of flames that you threw down the giant's cauldron of fire?"

Zicomo replied, “The fire of the phoenix, the flames of the sun, and the Fiery Blaze.”

Melina's heart trembled with each name Zicomo uttered.

During her stay in the "Zen Garden," she naturally got to know Huang Xi and Dong Huang.

Melina was also aware of the properties of their flames.

In addition, Zicomo taught her about the wizarding world, so Melina also knew what Fiendfire was.

Of the three flames, the Sun Flame has an extremely high temperature. The Fiery Flame can turn everything into fuel for its own burning, and it grows stronger the longer it burns.

Phoenix fire has the beneficial effect of restoring life.

The Golden Tree has only managed to survive until now because some of its slender branches have been burned off, thanks in part to the Phoenix Fire.

To prevent the golden tree from burning further, Melina asked, "Is there any way to put out the flames?"

Zicomo nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to go to the foot of the Golden Tree."

His 'Golden Absorption' absorbed these flames with ease.

Melina said, "In that case, let's head to the foot of the Golden Tree."

With that, Melina walked forward.

Regardless, she was the one who lit the golden tree.

She didn't want the border to be ruined because of her own momentary mistake.

Zikomo stopped Melina and said, "No rush, let's go get something first."

Melina looked at Zicomo in surprise. What could be more important than extinguishing the flames?

Seeing this, Zicomo said, "Don't worry, it'll be quick. And it's about on the way anyway."

He also wanted to extinguish the flames quickly, since he had already reserved the golden tree at the border for himself.

Zicomo didn't want the golden tree to be burned for nothing.

Hearing that it wouldn't take too much time, Melina felt relieved.

She followed Zicomo to a corner of the southwest side of the inner city wall of Rodel.

Here, Zicomo found the body of the 'Golden Mask'.

Above his corpse, the 'Rune of Perfect Law Restoration' was clearly visible.

This comes after 'Gold Mask' begins to doubt the fundamental principles of gold that he himself believes in.

The method to perfect the Golden Law has been found.

He attempted to perfect the Golden Law through this rune.

According to the 'Golden Mask', the Golden Law is not perfect because the gods who wield it are like humans, possessing emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Without these, there would be no gods at all.

Then the Golden Law will be flawless.

To put it bluntly, it's about placing the Golden Law in a high and untouchable place.

Then create an omnipotent god who is devoid of all emotions and desires.
