Chapter 32: The Pitfall of the Apprentice Pathway

All along, Fuoersi has been tormented by that insanely mad full-moon delirium, to the point of being worse than death.

But now, this mysterious baron before her told her that those insanely mad delirious voices were cries for help, or perhaps warnings?

This is too crazy!

If it weren't for the baron before her who just let her temporarily escape the torment of the full-moon delirium, and is a truly powerful being capable of solving this problem, Fuoersi would surely think he's deceiving her.

With thoughts turning in her mind, Fuoersi instinctively looked at the deep, pale-gold eyes of the figure opposite, suppressing her awe, and said in disbelief: "Baron, you say that the full-moon delirium that makes my life worse than death is a cry for help, or perhaps a warning?"

"Hmm."

Sensing the lady's shifting emotions before him, Fengyi nodded, and couldn't help but feel moved by the opponent's fortune, whether lucky or unlucky.

"This"

Seeing the other nod, Fuoersi's face showed a wry, helpless smile, and she muttered dazedly: "Just because of a single plea for help, or a reminder, I have suffered such torment."

After a pause, Fuoersi came to her senses and couldn't help but ask: "Baron, what exactly is the cause of all this? Who is the owner of the delirium? Why does it seek help from me?"

"He is called Mr. Door, the King of Angels of Sequence 1 of the Apprentice Pathway, and also the ancestor of the great noble Abraham Family of the Fourth Era; in the Fourth Era"

After glancing at Fuoersi before him, Fengyi did not conceal anything and gave a brief introduction to Mr. Door's affairs.

Simply put, Polite Abolahan of the Fourth Era, that is Mr. Door, while wandering the starry sky, was contaminated by an outer god in the void and cast out by the true gods beyond Earth.

And thus he has continually been sending messages to his descendants, wishing to return to Earth.

Because of the outer god's contamination, he alternates between lucidity and madness.

However, his lucid self appears rational, but is actually in a contaminated state; the information he sends to the Abraham Family's descendants on Earth is a plea to establish a ritual, break the barrier, and let him return to Earth.

But when mad, he seems irrational, yet that is truly himself; the message he conveys is "Do not save me."

One could say this is an extremely tragic figure.

And the reason Fengyi says the Apprentice Pathway is a big pit is that, in this world, high-sequence extraordinary beings of the Apprentice Pathway, when digesting magic potions, need to wander the starry sky and travel through it.

And outside Earth, the starry sky is teeming with outer gods—one could say it's like having goods delivered to one's door.

Moreover, precisely because of Mr. Door's "cry for help," the high-sequence powerhouses among his descendants have each lost control, which is also the main reason for the Abraham Family's present decline.

Although Fuoersi is not a member of the Abraham Family, she obtained the extraordinary trait left by a deceased Abraham Family member, thereby becoming a Sequence 9 apprentice of the Apprentice Pathway and obtaining that pathway's miraculous item, thus establishing a connection with Mr. Door.

And the outer god that contaminated Mr. Door is none other than the Fallen Mother God now lurking on the moon; that is why she suffers the delirium's voice each full moon.

Of course, Fengyi did not tell Fuoersi everything; he simply picked some knowledge she could now bear and explained it, merely giving her some understanding of her current state.

Since he did not involve higher-level knowledge, he need not worry about her being contaminated by such knowledge.

After all, Fengyi himself is of high standing and has the Yellow Clay Altar protecting him, so he need not fear contamination by higher knowledge, whereas Fuoersi before him lacks that ability.

"The gap between your levels is too great; even if the other merely says something ordinary, to you it is almost a deadly crisis."

As Fengyi's flat voice completely faded, the entire room fell silent.

Fuoersi stood frozen in place, immersed in the truth of his words, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

"As it turns out."

"That's how it is."

Countless thoughts surged in Fuoersi's mind, eventually all condensing into a widely known saying in this world:

"Do not gaze upon a god!"

A simple cry for help or a message-transmitting voice can make my life worse than death; if faced face‑to‑face, I fear a single glance would send me straight into loss of control.

The reason for all this is merely that I am too weak!

At this moment, Fuoersi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Moreover, this Mr. Door is merely a Sequence 1 King of Angels, not a Sequence 0 True God.

Just how powerful must a True God be?

In his earlier words, she had already learned from this mysterious baron that Sequence 0 signifies a True God.

Thinking of this, Fuoersi couldn't help but fix her gaze on the tall figure before her, her awe growing ever stronger.

Having undergone some change, this baron can now so easily help me resolve the full‑moon delirium, and when he speaks of Mr. Door he does so just as casually—does that mean he is of the same level?

Is he truly the same baron as before?

As this thought rose in her mind, Fuoersi's heart trembled, and she hurriedly pressed it down.

I know nothing at all!

Suppressing the trembling in her heart, Fuoersi recalled his earlier words and quickly took off the string of bracelets hidden in her cuff.

It was a silver bracelet bearing two dull‑blue, rough stones, their surfaces scorched and giving off a faint hallucinatory feel.

This bracelet is precisely the miraculous item Fuoersi obtained in the strange encounter when she gained the formula and materials for the Apprentice Pathway; it allows her to shuttle through the spirit realm, but each use consumes one stone.

And it is precisely because of this bracelet that she suffers the torment of the full‑moon delirium.

"Baron, this is what you need."

In the course of speaking, Fuoersi handed the bracelet in her hand to him, saying with a hint of expectation: "Can you help me solve the full‑moon delirium problem?"

Merely keeping away from the bracelet cannot solve her own full‑moon delirium problem; Fuoersi has tried that long ago.

Otherwise, she would have long since tossed this miraculous bracelet far away.

With a reach, Fuoersi felt her hand loosen, and the silver‑white bracelet flew straight into Fengyi's hand.

Examining the bracelet in his hand, sensing the madness it contained and some special rule, Fengyi's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

After glancing at Fuoersi opposite him, Fengyi flicked a finger, and a gold‑coin‑shaped object landed in her palm.

"As an extraordinary being of the Apprentice Pathway who has also inherited the extraordinary trait of an Abraham Family member, you and Mr. Door, that ancestor of the Abraham Family, have already formed a deep fate‑bond; however, this gold coin I give you can completely conceal that bond."

"From now on, as long as you wear this gold coin, you will no longer be affected by the full‑moon delirium."

"Gold Coin."

The instant the gold coin landed in her hand, a mysterious force flowed through her body; Fuoersi felt her heart stir, and an inner sense of lightness rose, as if she had shed a great burden.

She had a feeling that, as long as she carried this gold coin in the future, she would no longer suffer the full‑moon delirium.

This is a reminder originating from her own spirituality.

After carefully examining the gold coin in her hand engraved with mysterious patterns, Foersi tightly gripped it in her hand, fearing she might lose it at any moment.

Afterwards, she hurriedly made a bow to the mysterious presence before her and respectfully said, "Thank you, Baron."

"Hmm."

Fengyi casually nodded, then waved his hand and said, "All right, the matter is settled; you may go."

Having obtained the item and paid his due compensation, settling the karmic debt, Fengyi naturally had no further desire to chat with the other party.

Fengyi intends to use the power of the Yellow Clay Altar to thoroughly remodel the necklace in his hand, preparing for his future plans.

"Er"

Seeing the mysterious presence's hurried, don't-bother-me-again casual attitude, Foersi couldn't help but be taken aback.

Although she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she also felt a strange sensation.

However, facing the mysterious presence who might be a great figure, Foersi dared not say more, hastily bowing and leaving.

Before leaving, she glanced once more at that familiar yet unfamiliar slender figure, and Foersi still felt a dreamlike sensation.

She had just resolved the Full Moon Murmur, as if in a dream.

With her thoughts turning, she left the room in a somewhat dazed state.

Walking quietly in the night, seeing the flawless crimson full moon in the sky, Foersi seemed to finally come back to herself from today's events, feeling a faint joy from the heart.

She had never felt before that the night scenery of Beikelande was so beautiful.

And all of this is because of that mysterious Baron.

Thinking of this, Foersi unconsciously gripped the gold coin in her hand tightly.

Inside the room.

Seeing Foersi's figure completely depart, Fengyi began to carefully examine the silver-white bracelet in his hand, sensing its rules and power.

At that moment, Fengyi's heart stirred; he looked toward the door and softly said, "Come in!"

As the sound faded, the door cracked open, and a tiger-headed, tiger-brained figure peered inside.

It was none other than the Fate Snake, Weir. Angsaiting.
