Heist

Dylas flattered Sizhang for a while, and once the mood lightened 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 sought out Mafa Merlin to discuss 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. After chatting with Dylas for a while, the latter's flattery had improved his mood, so he explained what had happened.
