Of course, Danilo didn't know that Connor didn't only sense Reyes' restriction from his body, but he also sensed that it was the Pastore Restriction. It was a restriction technique that Reyes found in a book from the Byzantine era.
Just like a normal self-destruct restriction, once the soul searching restriction was invaded by someone's power of the will, it would trigger a self-destruct. However, compared to a normal self-destruct restriction, the Pastore Restriction was even more terrifying. It would list some of the restricted's memories as secrets, and when the restricted mentioned these secrets to others, the Pastore Restriction would also be triggered, and the restricted's head would explode.
This meant that Danilo, who didn't explode in his head, was lying!
After Danilo knew that his identity was exposed to Connor, he was determined to die. The reason why he pretended to be afraid of death and was blinded by greed was because he wanted to use his lies. He wanted to confuse Connor and mislead Connor!
As for why Connor knew that Danilo was lying to him from the beginning and still played along with Danilo's act, it was because he wanted to use Danilo's lies to deduce some things.
For example, the clue that Danilo mentioned about the note in the book [Introduction to Philosophy of Kestner] in the No.3 Reading Room of Flosinone City Library was definitely not Danilo's superior. Danilo said this because he wanted to frame this person!
Connor took out a jade box from his interspatial ring and placed Danilo's head inside before putting it back into the interspatial ring. Although it was extremely difficult to break the Pastore Restriction in Danilo's body, Connor had the help of the auxiliary chip with powerful computing power. It wasn't impossible for him to break a part of the Pastore Restriction and obtain some memories!
After putting away Danilo's head, Connor checked his corpse and the other places in Danilo's apartment. After he didn't find any valuable clues, Connor took out a can of special kerosene from his interspatial ring and poured it on Danilo's corpse and the apartment.
"Whoosh …"
Connor drew a match and threw it on Danilo's corpse, which had been drenched in kerosene. Flames immediately sprang up, and in just a few seconds, the magnificent apartment where Danilo lived turned into a sea of fire. In the center of the sea of fire, Danilo's corpse had already turned into a pile of ashes.
Seeing this scene, Connor nodded in satisfaction. His black robe flashed, and he appeared downstairs of Danilo's apartment. At this time, the fire in Danilo's apartment had already attracted the attention of the surrounding residents. A group of men, women, and children of all shapes and sizes gathered below the apartment to watch the fire.
"It's on fire! Come and put out the fire! Where's the well? Did you call the fire department? "
"Whose house is the one that caught fire? Are there any women or children in the house? "
"Whose house is this? Why is so unlucky? If we burn it like that, the property prices will drop by at least half! "
"Serves them right! The people who live here are all rich, so we should burn them down! "
… ….
… ….
While the crowd was talking, Connor, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave, found a black carriage at a crossroad about 500 meters away. Although the carriage looked the same, and the horses pulling it were ordinary horses, Connor, as an alchemist, could still see some secrets from the black carriage at a glance.
The steel plates used in this black horse carriage were runic steel plates that had been tempered tens of thousands of times. Not only that, the runic steel plates were also engraved with defensive and acceleration runes. In this way, the defense of this black horse carriage was comparable to a rank 1 defensive-type magic artifact. The acceleration runes engraved on the steel plates of the carriage were almost enough to make the horses of the carriage mere decorations. Even without these horses, this black horse carriage could still move with the help of magic stones as an energy source!
In order to hide the runes on the carriage, the black paint on the carriage was not simple. It was a paint that had been carefully mixed by an alchemist. Not only could it block energy waves to a certain extent, but it could also block the detection of the runes on the carriage's steel plates. It could also block the detection of the power of the will of a Magus below rank 1.
Even if an alchemist with ten years of alchemy experience came into close contact with such a carriage, it would be difficult for him to discover the uniqueness of this black carriage. If not for Connor's powerful mind power and rich alchemy knowledge, it would be difficult for Connor to discover the uniqueness of this black carriage at such a distance.
A glint flashed in Connor's eyes. Crafting such a black carriage would require a lot of resources and effort from an Alchemist. It wouldn't be any less than refining a 2nd Tier Magic Item. Thus, the person who could use such a black carriage definitely wouldn't be a simple character!
Although he was rather surprised by the appearance of this black horse carriage at this time and place, Connor immediately became alert. Even though he was still unclear about the origins of this black horse and whether it had anything to do with Danilo, Connor, who did not wish to stir up trouble, only took a quick glance at the black horse carriage before planning to disappear and leave. He did not want to be entangled with the other party. However, what Connor did not expect was that although he wanted to keep the peace and was unwilling to stir up trouble, the person in the black horse carriage clearly did not intend to have the same goal as him.
The black carriage followed closely behind him at a distance of about 300 meters. It was fast when Connor sped up, and slow when Connor slowed down. It was obvious that the person in the black carriage had his eyes on Connor.
Realizing this situation, Connor's heart sank. Although he did not know why the person in the black carriage was coming for him, Connor knew that he could not lead this carriage to the place where he and Varga were staying. Immediately, he walked in the opposite direction of the Ferguson Family's safe house, towards the Anderson Valley, another suburb of Flosino.
After arriving at the outskirts of the Anderson Valley 10 minutes later, Connor did not continue running. Instead, he stopped and looked at the black carriage that had chased him all the way from the Hoffenheim community.
