Apostle of Cthulhu

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but I still have some questions that I would like you to answer for me."

Egbert said very casually, "You say."

Si Wei stared at Egbert's facial expression closely, trying to observe all his micro-expressions, "I want to know... what the Star Foundation is."

At that moment, Si Wei clearly saw that Egbert's expression froze for a moment instead of turning into confusion. This meant that Egbert knew about the existence of the Star Foundation!

Egbert did not deny the existence of the Star Foundation, but just used a more metaphysical explanation to talk about Si Wei, "For you now, it is too early to reveal the secret of the Star Foundation. When the time is right, you will You will understand the secret."

In the carriage when they arrived, Si Wei also asked this question to Qiao, and the latter's answer was more perfunctory, "You'd better not know now."

There is a problem with the Star Foundation, and this is the only thing Si Wei can confirm.

"Then can I ask a question from the side?" Si Wei changed direction, "I want to know if the Star Foundation has something to do with the CTHULHU expedition team?"

If Jack is really a member of the CTHULHU expedition team, then there must be a certain reason why he values ​​the pendant of the Star Foundation so much.

Egbert looked at Si Wei with somewhat surprised eyes, "Have you already investigated to this extent?"

"Now that you said that, can I understand that they are indeed related?"

"I can only express my affirmation, but I will not disclose anything else to you." Egbert's tone became serious, "Recognize your position, Professor Siwei, and you can only have a good understanding of yourself." Cognition, knowing what you should do and what you should know, can help you live better in this world.”

Jia put the small cake into her mouth, enjoying the lubrication and sweetness of the cream, which was fully combined with the fluffy bread. It was sweet but not greasy, and really delicious.

"Miss Greenwell, what a coincidence!" Waff knew Si Wei, so naturally he also knew Jia, "Have you been invited to attend the royal celebration too?"

Jia looked at Wafu and gave her a basic smile. Then she changed back to her poker face and replied: "No, I only got the honor of attending the grand royal dinner because of Professor Siwei's favor." "

Wa Fu didn’t know whether Jia was telling the truth, but since Jia appeared here and was not chased out by the surrounding royal guards, it was enough to prove the authenticity of her appearance here, “Si Wei has changed so much. Ah, what do you think? I think something is wrong with his current changes."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Wafu didn't know how to explain it, so he could only give a very vague explanation, "Who knows, I think Si Wei is more dangerous now than before. Not only to others, but also to others. The former Si Wei The professor is the same internally and externally, but now Si Wei...I can't understand it at all..."

Jia chose to comfort, "Mr. Waff, please don't worry, Professor Si Wei is fine now. Maybe it's just that your sixth sense is inaccurate? Professor Si Wei now satisfies many people."

"Is it enough to satisfy others?" Wafu muttered, "We live in this world for ourselves, not to cater to others..."

Jia did not refute this statement.

Waf's views and opinions will not have any impact on her, so she naturally has no reason to change Waf's ideas.

Simply put, it is better to do less than to do more.

"Miss Gia Greenville," a handsome and tall man walked up to Gia and gave her a gentleman's salute, "I wonder if I can invite you to the dance floor in ten minutes? Have a dance together?”

Waff glanced at this man. Although he was handsome, he always felt that he didn't like him very much.

Jia's eyes were arrogant and cold, and she glanced at the man's face from the corner of her eye. She raised her right hand and replied in an emotionless voice: "It's a great honor."

After the man took her hand, Jia turned back to Wafu and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wafu, I'm sorry to be with you. By the way, could you please tell Professor Si Wei that he doesn't have to wait for me in the future, I will go back to the college." "

Waff nodded awkwardly and left here dejectedly.

Just when he slipped away, Si Wei happened to come down the stairs on one side. His eyes swept over Waf and caught Jia leaving with the man.

"Is this called an opportunity?" Si Wei didn't want to gossip. Whatever Jia did was her own business. She was just a professor, so she couldn't possibly interfere with other people's freedom of love, right?

If Jia can get in touch with the upper class through the royal dinner and have a bright future, Si Wei is very willing to see this scene.

But... Si Wei felt something was wrong.

The most important thing is feeling.

Si Wei looked at the man and felt an inexplicable touch in his heart, a familiar feeling lingering in his heart.

Moreover, Jia’s expression was wrong.

Even after traveling back in time, Si Wei had been getting along with Jia for almost a month. He had never seen Jia's expression so stiff and cold before, as if she was looking at an enemy.

There may be something wrong with this man.

"Wow! Siwei, I found you!" Wafu was looking for Siwei in the crowd. When he turned around, he saw him staring at Jia's back and hurriedly walked up to him, "Don't misunderstand anything, I believe Miss Greenwell!"

What are you misunderstanding again...

Siwei gestured to him to calm down, "Mr. Alexander, yelling at a banquet is very disrespectful to others."

Wafu nodded and asked mysteriously, "What did His Majesty say to you? Few people can get the opportunity to talk to His Majesty in private, you must seize it!"

The so-called seize it means becoming a tool of the king and then working outside? Siwei didn't say this. This is still the palace after all. If someone with ulterior motives heard it, he would probably go to the gallows the next day.

"I know, but I can't tell you the content of the conversation. I hope you can understand."

Waf waved his hand, "I understand, it's confidential. But you still have to think clearly. Although you have a relationship with the royal family, you will have more rights, but your freedom will also be constrained and restricted. If you are the kind of person who pursues freedom... the royal family may not be your best choice."

Si Wei really wanted to tell him that he had lost a certain amount of freedom just now, but what would it matter if he told him? He had already promised others, so he couldn't run back to the room and tell Egbert that he regretted it, right?

To be able to become a king, he must have a certain skill. If he did that, death might be a better ending.
