Just as Akali had to flee because of the sudden appearance of his pursuers, Rhodes, who was investigating the case and looking for the traces of Ember in Navoli, also noticed that something was wrong.

After guessing the identity of the tower guard, Rhodes followed the trail clues and found the place where he had left the city - and then, just as Rhodes was about to follow, he accidentally spotted the traces of the Shadow Soldiers.

This is not normal!

Rhodes can be sure of one thing, Ember is definitely not released by robbery - if Ember is captured, his choice is definitely to put Ember to death, take 10,000 steps back and say, Ember doesn't need Ember to attract attention for himself, what Ember can do, he can do.

Although the former Ember had a huge impact on the lives of Zai and Shen, it was not yet mature Zai and Shen after all, and it was completely impossible for the current Zai and Shen to do such a thing as releasing the Ember.

Since Ember wasn't released, why did the Shadowstream soldiers appear here? What are they looking for?

Rhodes used the Arcane Eye to observe the soldiers' behavior, and was surprised to find that they were also looking for traces of the Ember.

When did the Shadow Stream warriors start to become detectives?

And their detective skills are so clever that they have locked on the suspect even before themselves, and they have also found the trail of Ember?

However, as Rod looked closely, he found that these people were ...... It seems that the skill of finding clues is crudely terrifying, and a lot of information Rhodes has discovered, while the surrounding Shadow Stream warriors are blind as if they are blind.

At this level, how did you find the embers?

Ending the Arcane Eye, Rhodes touched his chin.

I'm afraid, in fact, it wasn't these people who found Ember, but Ember was deliberately discovered by them, right?

Why did Ember do this?

Is there any point in deliberately exposing oneself before you other than asking for trouble for yourself?

The answer, of course, is yes.

Thinking of the Navoli Brotherhood that commanded the Ash, Rhodes probably guessed something.

Come to think of it, what could be more interesting for a "great artist" like Ember than for the warriors of Shadowstream to meet the assassinated Irelia?

Rhodes didn't know what kind of arrangement Ember had made on Akali's side, but it was certain that Ember had deliberately exposed his tracks in order to lure the Shadowstream warriors to where he wished.

Eighty percent of this place is where Irelia was assassinated.

Now that he has the confidence to expose himself, Ember should be ready to get out of the way—if the Shadowstream Sect discovers the Brotherhood's plans and sabotages their operations, the Brotherhood will be dealt a serious blow.

When the time comes, whether it is the Shadow Stream Sect "bringing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", or whether they simply kill everyone and dump the pot to the Navoli Brotherhood, no matter what choice arises, the Brotherhood will be unlucky.

And once the Brotherhood loses control of the situation, Ember is able to get out of their control.

Even this political event will cause a lot of chaos, and this chaos is undoubtedly the best stage for Ash!

Imagine what it would be like if Shadowstream and the Navoli Brotherhood clashed head-on...... Rod couldn't help but shudder.

Ember this kind of guy...... What a restlessness!

After getting a rough idea of the situation, Rhodes followed the trail left by Ember first.

……………………

On top of the tower, Ember never left.

The Tower Guard was a different person—but in reality, it wasn't.

As a true acting genius, Ember is really able to do a thousand faces, he can freely combine his appearance through the changes in his face, posture, tone, and voice - in this disguise process, Ember did not use any spells, even Rhodes could not see it.

It's dark under the lights.

Rhodes thought that the tower guard who appeared here yesterday was Ember, but in fact, it was not only Ember who was here yesterday, but also today, but Ember had a different face for himself.

With a high-powered Hex telescope smuggled from Phi City in his hand, Ember saw the Shadow Warriors busy near the city walls with the help of the height of the tower.

Motionless holding the binoculars, Ember waited silently, as if he were an actor waiting to play—a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth after seeing Rod's figure appear near the city walls.

Putting down the binoculars, Ember took a piece of silk cloth from his waist and carefully wiped the lenses of the Hex's telescope as he began his own chanting in an aria whisper.

"The puppet is wired, and the clockwork is wound."

"Behind the heavy curtain, the story becomes the script, the actors become the characters, and no one sleeps tonight."

"Let me see what kind of joy and sorrow there is on Valoran's side."

"Let me see what kind of red and bewitching petals are infested with blood."

The magnetic bass dissipates into the gentle night breeze, and the embers that have laid everything out begin to wait for the final chapter.

……………………

So, as the "special actor" of Ash, where is Rhodes at this time?

At this moment, Rhodes carefully observed the trail left by the embers, his figure scurrying between the forests shrouded in Ionian night.

Rhodes moves very fast.

And after chasing for more than half an hour, Rhodes suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

These traces...... Why is it still there?

Theoretically, with Rhodes' speed and tracking ability, if he saw Ash's trail, it wouldn't be long before he could catch up with Ember - don't forget, Ember is an ordinary person who doesn't have any runic powers, and he can't use some otherworldly means to get out of tracking!

In Rod's vision, Ember leaving a trail to lure the Shadowstream warrior was his biggest mistake, because the Shadowstream warrior might not be able to catch him, but Rhodes could!

And now, Rod has been chasing for more than half an hour, but he doesn't feel the distance getting closer.

The gap was so bad that Rhodes turned around and found the marks...... It wasn't left behind when Ember left, but Ember left it on purpose.

The footprints look like they were left more than an hour ago – but no matter how long it has been, they look like they were left more than an hour ago!

In other words, these are messages that Ember actively left behind!

Rhodes, who realized that he had accidentally fallen into the clues that Ember had arranged and was not aimed at himself, stopped—at this moment, he was not annoyed.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he was even a little excited at this time!

That's right, excited.

Rod can clearly feel the context of Ember's plan, this feeling is exaggerated, there is an inexplicable sense of confidant!

Ember and his own thinking are exactly the same many times!

Realizing this, Rhodes left the forest, laughing as if no one was on Ionia's official road.

Where did Ember go?

By this time, Rhodes already knew!
