As a Balanced Sect, Twilight Eye knows what a Rune Annihilator is.

So in the end, by luring the snake out of the hole, Kushu grabbed Ember - at that time Ember had already raised his gun towards Kushuo, so the accusation of his attempted murder was established on the spot.

Unfortunately, due to the failure of the backtracking spell, no other murders about Ember can be conclusively proven, and the case is well known, so in the end, Ember was thrown into Salem prison and imprisoned forever - the maximum punishment for attempted murder under Ionian law.

Interestingly, when he was caught, the disciple who was called the Ring fell into a meltdown because he learned that Ember could not be executed - at that time, Ember watched the young man ask Kushu in pain why, and a feeling in his heart was more pleasant than when he had committed the crime before.

This young man named Jiejie can beat a hundred embers at a time.

But because of the law, because of the protection of the rules, Ember was able to defeat him with sin, which felt much more powerful than the slaughter of the ignorant to appreciate the fear on their faces.

So, Ember, who was imprisoned in Salem prison, began to study.

Ember needs to learn all sorts of knowledge before he can use it in the future to deal with the powerful, and then sit back and watch them collapse because of the destruction of their faith.

In prison, Ember studied acting, music, painting, law, literature, and blacksmithing, as if he were a dry sponge in water, quickly absorbing all kinds of knowledge.

Ember knew that this was bitter saying that he hoped to awaken his "morality" and make himself confess.

But unfortunately, in Ember's view, rules and morals are just tools to be used by himself, and he himself is absolutely impossible to accept them and act on himself - in Ember's view, these laws and morals are the same as the performance rules on the stage, people on the stage need to abide by them, but as a stage manager, he only needs to use them.

Not long ago, Ember was released by a certain big man.

The big man thought he could use Ember for his ends, but he didn't know that Ember would never be used.

However, just when Ember really did a big job and was about to run away after watching the last scene, he was caught by the trouble-stirring Rhodes.

At first, when Rhodes says he's not an Ionian, Ember almost thinks he's going to die - like a stage accident.

But seeing that Rod didn't make a move, Ember laughed again.

"It seems that our Mr. 'Don't Need to Obey the Rules' still has to abide by the rules for some necessary reasons." Unconcerned about the threat of the Rhodes Staff, Ember shifted his shoulder, "That's a pity, if you don't follow the rules, I'll probably be finished in no time, but you choose to follow the rules...... I'm sorry, but I won anyway. ”

"Really?" Rod didn't care at all about Ember's pride, "Since you think you've won...... Then try this first - the shackles of the sun! ”

A thin flaming shackle entangled Ember - unlike the flame shackles of the past, Rhodes's flame shackles were extremely slender at this time, so slender that the clothes of Ember were cut directly, tightening Ember's skin.

The temperature of the slender shackles of the scorching sun was extremely high, but this heat was well controlled by Rhodes and did not escape, so as soon as Ember looked down, he could clearly see the flesh on his arm being scorched, chopped, and then scorched again.

The slender shackles of the scorching sun slowly cut through Ember's skin.

But at the same time, Ember laughed.

"Is there no way?"

"It really hurts - it's a pity it's useless, there are these wounds, even if I can't hold back and admit everything, I can't do anything, because you forced a confession."

"Annoyed and angry? Hahaha, I love to see you awesome guys angry! ”

Unfortunately, in the face of Ash's taunts, Rhodes didn't seem to say anything else, just patiently scorched Ash's skin, scorched and baked the skin on his arms little by little, until it was carbonized, and then peeled off.

Ember gritted his teeth and kept taunting Rhodes.

In Ember's opinion, maybe he will die - but this play has been successful, and the guy in front of him is doomed to not get the result he wants.

Finally, when Ember's arms were scorched, Rod stopped his spell.

Taking out a bottle of magic spring water, Rhodes added some salt to it and poured it directly onto Ash's wound.

The pain of the distance caused Ash's muscles to spasm severely, and the man nearly fainted - but even so, Ash's mouth continued to taunt Rod.

"Come on, torture me!"

"It hurts—but it's useless, you're not destined to make me confess, and if I don't, you won't get what you want."

"You think you're amazing? No, no, no, actually, you are no different from me - look at your own tyrannical appearance, there is a demon living in your heart! ”

Ash's tone grew to a sign of despair, but it also became more excited, and the more determined Rhodes tortured him, the more satisfied he was that he was able to drag Rhodes along with him to destroy - in Ember's eyes, his own death was not worth mentioning, but if he could make Rhodes collapse, it would be full of value.

Finally, when Ember was really about to go into shock, Rhodes stopped.

"Why, go on." Ember looked at Rhodes weakly, "Or do you feel some kind of guilt and uneasiness?" ”

"Guilt? Disturbed? Rod's voice was a little hoarse, "I'm afraid you're thinking too much—I don't get that emotion out of anything I do to a scum like you." ”

"But whatever you do to a scum like me." Ember's tone was full of smugness, "You won't be able to achieve your goal either!" ”

"Who said that?" Rod suddenly laughed, "You really think you didn't leave any evidence? ”

"Of course not." Ember scoffed at Rod's claim, "You can't find the murder weapon, you can't find eyewitnesses, and you can't find any traces of me!" ”

"Who said I couldn't find it." Rhodes pouted, "You left footprints on the scene, and I found a coat stained with blood and psychedelics that I haven't had time to dispose of here. ”

"What are you kidding?" Ember took a sip, "I didn't take that coat." ”

"But here it is." As he spoke, Rod took out a coat from his space backpack, then grabbed the ember and pressed it on it, "Look, there are your handprints on it!" ”

Ember's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Are you falsifying evidence?!"

"Don't talk nonsense." At this moment, Rod's smile seemed to be a demon in Ember's eyes, "This is all crucial evidence, enough for you to go to the gallows." ”

"Backtracking magic will expose your forgery!"

"I'm afraid you're not in a good head." Rhodes stood up unconcerned, "As I told you before, I'm also a Rune Annihilator. ”

"You-"

"Leave some strength behind." Rhodes made an ice blade and held it in his hand, "The night is still long...... Do you think I'm really interrogating? I'm sorry, but I'm just venting my anger. ”

"After all, for a guy like you, death is a punishment...... It's a bit lighter. ”

At this moment, Ember, who had fallen into despair, finally realized a point that he had deliberately ignored before.

In a way, the rules seem to protect themselves, too.
