Onward to Egypt!

Why Egypt, someone could ask... Well there is a multitude of reasons...

The most important was obviously the mysterious Adventure that awaited them in the middle of the dessert, according to the Compass Of Random Journey.

Another reason was because Konrad always wanted to see the place. Egypt was the remnant of one of the oldest know civilizations. If there was a place where he could find some forgotten and burried magic, then it was his best bet. After all, many parts of the original formation that brought him to the Gacha Dimension, came from the egyptian artifacts and hieroglyphs. The Aztec, Nordic and Greek involvement in the formation would be harder for him to figure out as he didn't know much about them.

...

Well...in the end, it was just the least complicated decision.

His strength was enough to take care of the environment and the only problem were the poisonous snakes and scorpions. As the same problem could be found in a jungle but the Compass led towards Egypt, The decision was finally made.

Just like this Konrad and Octavia found themselves once again on a plain, this time though, using first class seat with Octavia laying on his lap.

She was currently in the shape of a cat and she was doing a really good job with the impersonation. Of course she wasn't visible to other people because as much as she tried, she was still not good enough to make the cat fluffy and properly coloured.

If she wanted to imitate a cat, she needed to make millions of tiny hair out of metal-infused slime or go for a Sphynx cat. But to actually become differently coloured in different parts of her body required of her to not only apply metal and alloy control but also focus to keep the colours unmoving. When you also add the fact that Octavia has to keep the shape of a cat constantly, you get a glossy, smooth, gently rounded persian with slowly shifting stains...

But all in all she was doing great!

She might not need to use the formations in public if she gets just a bit better at her overall controll.

The flight was quiet boring actually. A few hours of nothing special happening. No snakes or ants in the plane. No apocalypse behind the window nor any explosions chasing the machine...

Konrad and Octavia spend the time revising their ideas for antipoison solutions. Konrad wasn't sure if poison could actually affect him but it was not like he wanted to try poisoning himself for a test...or was it?

Konrad sighed. His body was slowly reaching the peak of humanity, if there was such a thing, and Konrad couldn't remember the last time he was actually sick... He didn't know if it was the effect of his strength or the health potions purging the impurities, or maybe it was the side effect of having Mana in his body, but his body was extremely healthy and it was only getting better with time.

'Would Deterioration Block Skill affect being poisoned?' Konrad thought, but he had no good answer for that question.

He was halfway into designing a formation to expell impurities but he was stuck at the problem of Healing Magic. It was something he wanted to create but until now, he was unsuccessful. It was also a part he needed for the thing he was designing because it was one thing to expell impurities from the body, but it was another when you didn't want to hurt the body in the process... What he was basically doing was making the healing potions into a formation and he was doing a poor job on it...

"Ehh...guess the potions are staying for now..." Said Konrad.

The potions nourished the body with healing substances that caused his cells to heal with the addition of magic...As much as he thought about it, he couldn't reproduce the exact Effect with a formation. He had to make a completely new project that worked on a different basis.

Regretfully he had no time for it now. He would have to find another way of protection against poison or simply use a potion.

The rest of the flight was spend on the two of them playing a board game on Konrad's phone. Octavia was beating him most of the time though, but Konrad wasn't discouraged. He simy liked to spend his time with her.

The plane landed safely in Cairo and the duo got out without a hunch.

The next objective was finding a hotel and not getting kidnapped by some Arabs...

As Konrad knew the Languages Of Birds, that meant he could communicate with people of any nationality. His voice was automatically translated and vice versa.

It was really a lucky find that was finally coming in handy, instead of annoying him with a bunch of birds singing about worm hunting...

Using a bit of observe, Konrad finally found them a good hotel with an honest owner that wasn't in a dangerous place. He might have been a bit prejudiced to the culture but with the terrorist activity and kidnapping cases, he wasn't about to take unnecessary risks.

As Konrad was exhausted after the flight and it was already getting late, he activated an Aura Of Ignorance and the duo quickly fell asleep.

__________

After waking up Konrad yawned and went to clean himself. Octavia was still asleep which could be seen by her body wiggling in a rhythmical way.

When they were finally both ready they went out to your the city.

Konrad had another side goal today...Try as many foreign cuisine as he could! After all he had a cooking Grimoire! What better way to improve his recipe collection if not by tasting some delicious food!

On the way to his destination, Konrad tasted many dishes. Be it in a stall or in a restaurant, he would make a quick stop to order something, every now and then helping himself using observe which was surprisingly useful in this situation. It could show the favorite dish of any place he Observed making him feel a bit like this guy in TV tasting the best food of the region.

It took him whole four hours to finally reach his destination because of his temporary gluttony but he didn't regret it. With his body getting stronger his metabolism also improved and as the food was delicious...what was there to complain about? Octavia really enjoyed the food as well, and he had to promise her that they would go for a 'Gluttony Trip' more often in the future.

Now, they finally stood at their destination.

The Museum of Cairo!

// As it's a very important moment in the story where Konrad finally leaves home to travel, i decided that from this moment on, it will be the second volume. Just wanted to tell you.

Oh! And i finally managed to figure out all the rewards i previously mentioned so when I finally finish the part where Konrad and Octavia use them all the uploads should finally pick up speed.

Hope you still enjoy my story everyone! Also in my free time I'm also writing the third tome of Konrad's Adventures In the Multiverse so I might start posting it in a few weeks or even days depending on how I feel. It's gonna be a Gravity Falls story with Pinecest so some people might not like it but whatever. It's my story and i write what I want XD Look forward to it and like always...

ENJOY!!!
