Apostle of Cthulhu

On the first night after settling down, Si Wei tried to see Celia, but unfortunately she was still not there.

The next day, Si Wei rested until about noon, walked out of the pirate hotel, and prepared to "have a meal".

When he walked to the front of Victor's mansion, a large number of pirates who originally wanted to ask for clarification had been driven back together. Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of crowd he would have to go through to get to the gate of Victor's mansion.

The guards of the mansion naturally knew Si Wei, and they didn't stop him and let him in.

Si Wei had just walked a few steps into the gate when he saw an "acquaintance" of his.

He Ling was holding a watering can in her hand, watering the delicate flowers in the garden. Unfortunately, she had no expression on her face, otherwise the scene in front of her would naturally be very good.

"Hello, Mr. Si Wei." After seeing Si Wei, He Ling raised her skirt and saluted very respectfully.

Everyone around Isaac knew that Si Wei was now Isaac's most distinguished guest, and that when they saw him, they had to treat him with the same respect as when they saw Isaac himself, otherwise Isaac would blame them.

Si Wei didn't care much about these stiff and stubborn aristocratic etiquette, and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so deliberate, "Is Isaac in the mansion now?"

He Ling replied, "He is still there now, but Mr. Isaac is busy with pirate affairs recently. If you don't have anything big to do, you don't have to disturb him. Of course, Miss Siti has no one to play with her recently, maybe you can play with her? This can also relieve Mr. Isaac's troubles."

"Okay, I understand." Si Wei smiled at He Ling, and the next moment he returned to his cold expression and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

There are many more maids in the mansion now, and a maid standing at the door of the mansion to welcome guests. Maybe Isaac expected Si Wei to come once recently, so he specially asked a maid to wait for his arrival every day.

"Hello, Mr. Si Wei!" The maid wore glasses and had her hair tied up behind her head to ensure that it would not hinder her hands and feet. She was wrapped up tightly all over her body, and her hands and feet were capable. She looked like a head maid with many years of experience.

Si Wei nodded, "How is Mr. Isaac now?"

The maid replied, "Mr. Isaac said that if you come, let me take you to the reception room on the first floor, and then I will inform him. In addition, Mr. Isaac asked me to tell you that Miss Siti may be angry recently and do something disrespectful to you. Please forgive me."

Is this guy... afraid of his hidden identity?

Si Wei felt that this was not a good thing. What he needed now was an equal relationship with Isaac, rather than relying on his identity as the king's envoy to intimidate him blindly.

This would not only fail to achieve the effect he wanted, but if he lost his identity as the king's envoy in the future, Isaac would naturally not cooperate with him again.

No matter from which angle you think about it, this unequal relationship can only gain temporary benefits, but it is impossible to continue for a long time.

Sometimes, showing weakness is not fear, but also a symbol of wisdom.

Just like when you see your enemy running away during a battle, he may not necessarily be unable to defeat you, but there may be some traps on his escape route that can kill you more easily.

"Okay, please take me to the reception room on the first floor."

The maid bowed, made a gesture of invitation, and then walked in front to lead the way.

The main hall was still brightly lit, and there was no trace of the dilapidated desolation when Si Wei first came. As soon as you walked in here, you can feel a wave of heat coming towards you. It is much warmer here than wandering on the street.

It is basically winter now, and Si Wei does not carry too many winter clothes in his bag. Perhaps he should buy some clothes before the weather turns completely cold.

The maid opened the door of the reception room for Si Wei and made way for Si Wei to walk in unimpeded.

The reception room was like a miniature version of the main hall, with two sofas facing each other and a knee-high coffee table in the middle. There were a few tea cups, a plate of biscuits and cakes, just enough to fill Siwei's stomach.

The maid closed the door when she left. Siwei sat on the sofa and took a biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing it for a few times, Siwei said, "The maid may not have noticed you, but your method of hiding your body is still too simple. Siti, there is no need to hide behind the curtains. Even if you want to eavesdrop, Isaac will send you out when he comes."

No voice responded to him, but the strange bulge on the curtains in the reception room made people laugh.

Siwei stuffed another biscuit into his mouth, "If you come out now, maybe I will plead for you later and let Isaac agree to let you stay here and listen to what we are talking about openly."

"Hmm..." This proposal was very attractive to Siti, so after weighing all the pros and cons, she still came out.

During the time when Isaac went to the island of alien gods, she was bored all the time. Now that Isaac was back, she had to work hard. The maids, Ivana and Heling didn't play with her at all, so now she could only find some fun in this way.

Now that Siwei was willing to plead for her, Siti, who was originally a little introverted, found someone to rely on, and she jumped out from behind the curtains.

Looking at Siti in a luxurious long dress, Si Wei let out a kind smile, looking like a big brother next door, which would not make Siti feel afraid.

"You sit next to me, I will talk to Isaac when he comes."

Siti pinched the corner of her skirt with two small hands, obviously still a little shy.

Even if Isaac told her that Si Wei was her savior, when she thought of this, she would recall the gift insect that had made her extremely painful.

The feeling of being disemboweled was enough to leave a lifelong shadow in the heart of a teenage girl!

However, what Isaac taught her was not to allow Siti to have such a resistance to her savior. Fortunately, Si Wei did not urge her now, otherwise she would definitely have a resistance.

In the nearly 30 seconds of ideological struggle, Siti finally overcame the fear in her heart, stared at the small leather shoes on her feet, and then slowly moved her steps and walked to sit next to Si Wei.

Si Wei took out a porcelain cup and poured some black tea from the teapot into it.

The black tea was still steaming, it seemed that he had come at the right time and the black tea had just been prepared.

Si Wei picked up the warm but not hot porcelain cup and handed it to Siti, saying: "Drink a little, warm things will make you feel much better."

Siti looked up at Si Wei timidly, then tentatively stretched out her hands and held the porcelain cup.

Then, she took a sip of the black tea in the cup.

It tasted good, very fragrant, and very warm.
