Chapter 1090 - Heis (1/2)

Dylas flattered Sizhang for a while, and once their relationship eased up a bit, he tentatively asked, “Sir Sizhang, I noticed that you came from Mafa Merlin’s camp, could it be…”

Dylas’ spoke slower and slower, as if he was asking without thinking it through. But he hadn’t expected that Sizhang would become downcast.

As Sizhang remained silent, Dylas continued, “Sir Sizhang, if I’m not wrong, you must have seeked Mafa Merlin to discuss a potential cooperation, but it unfortunately didn’t go through, am I right?”

Sizhang was downcast and sullen, “Didn’t go through? I didn’t even get to discuss it before being kicked out of the camp…”

Dylas was actually startled.

“What happened Sir Sizhang? Mafa Merlin couldn’t have been savage enough to… Kick you out of his camp?”

Sizhang had been worrying about going back to Dedale. He has been chatting with Dylas for a while and the latter’s flattery put him in a good mood so he explained what happened.

“… You see, I originally wanted to play with him and scare him a bit, after all, I was certain that he didn’t tamper with the alchemical device in front of everyone.

“But to be honest, I know that his research of the Beast God’s Blood has far surpassed ours, so why not cooperate?

“He is from the Andlusa Kingdom after all, we are opponents in the Raging Flame Plane, and although we are allies against a common enemy in the Raging Flame Battlefield, we can’t let him get too many benefits.

“I wanted to scare him a bit to make it easier for us to get more benefits while settling the cooperation.

“Isn’t it normal to try to overwhelm the other side before a negotiation?

“If he explained himself, even just to deny it, wouldn’t I just bring up the negotiation? Aren’t negotiations always like that?

“But who would have thought that Mafa Merlin didn’t even want to talk and directly kicked me out of his camp, and he even sent that barbarous Beastman…

“Sir Dylas, tell me, what should I do? Sir Dedale sent me to seek Mafa Merlin as a punishment, but this happened after I seeked Mafa Merlin for cooperation.

“Sir Dedale would definitely get rid of me if I return like this…”

Sizhang looked worried, he really didn’t know what to do and could only complain to someone.

Dylas sneered.

“Sir Sizhang, do you think you are the one at fault? Definitely not, Mafa Merlin is the problem.

“You only teased him, who would have thought that he would react so strongly. He must have really done something!

“If he had a clear conscience, why would he unhesitantly drive you away from his temporary camp for some teasing?

“The only explanation is that what you said was right. Mafa Merlin’s tempering is definitely the reason behind that disaster.

“His research of the Beast God’s Blood far surpasses our own and he definitely used some unknown method to temper with the experiment. You said that he couldn’t have tempered with the alchemical device, but are you sure that he couldn’t have tempered with the Beast God’s Blood?

“He must have used some method to temper with that drop of Beast God Blood and cause that disaster.

“Think about it, his research would be thoroughly scrapped if the Burning Tower successfully completed the experiment and helped a 9th Rank Archmage advance to the Heaven Rank. An alchemical device that guaranteed success against a potion with very low chances of being successfully crafted and whose quality wasn’t guaranteed.

“As long as they weren’t fools, everyone would know what to pick.

“But our cooperation would be cancelled if our alchemical device failed, while his research would become the only valuable one. Only a few rumors would be needed for everyone to fawn over Mafa Merlin.

“You accidently said the truth, and thus, he must have thought that you truly came to settle the account. That’s why he threw you out of his camp.”

After hearing Dylas’ words, Sizhang looked as if he suddenly realized something and he hatefully stomped the ground.

“That damn b*stard, I was almost tricked by him. Turns out it was really him! That despicable guy really did something.

“We can’t easily let him off, I must tell Sir Dedale and expose him…”

Sizhang’s expression turned red as he gnashed his teeth. He turned to fly back to the Burning Tower’s camp.

But Dylas was suddenly alarmed and quickly grabbed him.

‘Sh*t, how could this guy be so impulsive. He thinks that he is smart, but would Dedale be easily swayed if he reported to him?
