Apostle of Cthulhu

In the evening, 8:59, Boluo River, Pierre Restaurant.

Si Wei was dressed in formal attire, holding an invitation letter from Grand Duke Taylor in his hand, and arrived here in a carriage from Balem Apartments.

The Boro River is a river that runs through the entire Volingdu. In addition, Grand Duke Taylor is more considerate of his daughter and the restaurant he chose is not too far from the Balem Apartment. This will give Siwei plenty of time to go there after he finds Waff. Keep appointments.

At the door, the waiter bowed to Si Wei with a smile and asked: "Hello, the Pierre restaurant has been fully booked tonight. Do you have an invitation letter?"

Si Wei took a look at the appearance of Pierre's Restaurant. It was quite luxurious and had the sense of ceremony of a modern high-end restaurant. The main colors are black and white, luxurious and restrained, yet elegant.

Just dining in this kind of restaurant is probably a big expense, let alone booking the entire restaurant. As expected, the Grand Duke has a lot of money.

"This is my invitation letter." Si Wei handed the thing in his hand to the waiter. The latter took a look at it, confirmed the contents, and then saluted, "Okay, dear sir, please Come with me, Mr. Duke has been waiting for a long time."

Before going in with him, Si Wei asked in advance, "Is Miss Elloryn Taylor already here?"

The waiter turned around and answered Si Wei's question, "Ms. Taylor left about five minutes ago. She seems to have some important matters."

Al left?

Although Si Wei was a little confused, he still followed the waiter into the restaurant. The originally agreed time was nine o'clock, and no matter what, the Duke had to see his face at nine o'clock.

The waiter led him directly to the second floor and reached the deepest room. Just the door of this room made Si Wei feel the smell of copper, because the relief on the door was so lifelike that it was simply a masterpiece created by a master-level sculptor.

"Please." The waiter helped Si Wei open the door.

Si Wei nodded and walked inside.

The restaurant is very bright but not too spacious. The walls are carved with reliefs that are similar to the door. They are not as outrageous and weird as the reliefs in Room 666 of Balem Apartments. The reliefs here are very comfortable to look at.

There is a small dining table in the center of the restaurant. There are only three long-backed wooden chairs with exquisite workmanship. Two chairs are placed opposite each other. A man is sitting on one of the chairs, and the third chair is also Against his position.

There were prepared dishes on the table, but the man did not use the tableware. He just folded his hands and placed them under his chin, looking at Si Wei with a half-smiling look.

His clothes are probably all custom-made. Just the materials used can tell that they are expensive. However, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it. It can only be said that the tailor's craftsmanship is excellent and there is no smell of copper on the man's face. Formal wear.

He was handsome, and Elle must have inherited part of her beauty from her father. She has fair skin, soft facial lines, and a hint of gentleness in her eyes unconsciously.

"Hello, Mr. Siwei, or...Professor Siwei." Grand Duke Taylor spoke, his voice full of magnetism. He made an invitation gesture to the seat opposite him, "If you don't mind, please sit opposite me."

"It's an honor to meet you, Duke Taylor." Si Wei saluted first, and then followed Taylor's words, walked to the seat opposite him in small steps, pulled out the seat and sat down.

Seeing that Si Wei was a man who understood etiquette, Taylor immediately felt that the whole dinner was easier to handle. He took the lead and said, "Professor Si Wei, I often hear your name, and you have won many academic honors. But I’m curious as to why you want to get involved in such a dangerous study of R’lyeh culture.”

Si Wei gave the argument he had thought up all along, "There are no inventions. Human beings will be discovered if they shrink back and stop. If human beings had been afraid of fire in ancient times, there would not be the current civilized society. At the same time, Reason, if no one takes the initiative to study R'lyeh culture, our understanding of the 'unknown' will remain in a passive state. I believe that no one wants to be controlled by the so-called 'unknown'. "

"What a brave explorer. So for now, have you, or you, the leaders of cultural research, made any substantial breakthroughs?"

Si Wei thought his question was strange, as if it was spoken by someone who had no understanding of Raleye culture. The concept of missionaries has been around for at least a few decades, so why does Taylor still ask such strange questions? Hasn’t Kurtis Brandt made enough contributions?

Even with such doubts in his mind, Siwei still answered Taylor's question, "As for the determination of the concept of missionaries and the division of missionary systems. I think these two points alone are enough to indicate something."

Taylor nodded, "Then do you understand the 'unknown'?"

This question is difficult to answer. Whether it is Curtis Brandt, who is known as the mother of R'lyeh culture, or the original Professor Si Wei, they are actually just studying missionaries. If you want to understand the "unknown" truth, you must study the missionaries to whom they are gifted.

It's a pity that Kedis disappeared before she could complete this matter.

As for the original Professor Si Wei, since he was not a missionary, his research on the R'lyeh culture was only superficial, but those studies were remarkable in the eyes of ordinary people.

Therefore, the current researchers' understanding of the "unknown" is actually equivalent to nothing.

Si Wei could not expose the existence of the Old Parliament, which might be related to the deepest secrets of this world. If it were exposed, let alone what kind of danger Grand Duke Taylor might encounter. As an apostle of Cthulhu, he did such a betrayal. If he was purged by the other three apostles, it would be a loss.

"Your question is difficult to answer," Si Wei said, "Everyone wants to do it in one go, but not everything can be done in one go. You also understand that no one wants to become an out-of-control and corrupt monster. Knowing your position is the first thing I learned from my research."

Taylor nodded with satisfaction. Up to now, he has been very satisfied with Si Wei's answer. From the conversation, he can understand that Si Wei is a person who is seriously dedicated to this cause, not arrogant or impatient, and knows very well what kind of existence he is.

And Siwei was very cautious, and he didn't fall into any of the traps he set in his words.

Such a person is very scary.

"Actually, Egbert mentioned you to me," Taylor suddenly mentioned the king's name, "He said he admired you very much. I have never understood why he admired you, a guy who is said to be arrogant and conceited. Sure enough... seeing is believing, I believed the rumors too much."

Siwei lowered his head slightly, "Such rumors can also urge me."

This answer... is too cautious...

Taylor thought to himself, or am I really too targeted? Didn't Al say that this person is easy to get along with? Why do I feel like I've been trapped?
