Capítulo 20: Chapter 20: Traveling
The days after the battle with Moryo were mostly monotonous for Catherine, with her finally doing one of the key things she wanted to do in this life: Travel.
After saying her goodbyes with the heads of the Three Great Sage Lands (Izzy took a lot of convincing) Catherine decided to explore the world. She knew that when she finished, she would have to devote herself to the path of being the Sorcerer Supreme and building her own Kamar Taj, but she chose to enjoy her new life to the fullest first.
She was currently enjoying a festival that was occurring in a large town inside of the Land of This.
She had her robe and amulet hidden beneath her current clothes so that she wouldn't stand out too much.
Catherine walked up to one of the stalls, with her asking "Hi, could you give me two of those skewers right there?"
The merchant grabbed two of them and handed them to her as he said "That will be 600 ryo."
Catherine then handed the man the money as she went towards the main street and watched the parade.
Catherine watched the parade with interest as she saw many things that she recognized from her previous life.
She saw floats and balloons that represented beings like the Vermillion Phoenix, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and the Azure Dragon, as well as entities that she easily recognized like Buddha.
There were also many dancers and other entertainers in the parade as they wore many exotic colors and performed unique dances that made even Catherine become interested as she had never witnessed anything like it on Earth.
'Every time I see things like this, I become reminded that not only is this world real, but it also has its own unique culture and customs.' Catherine thought to herself as she looked on in wonder at their performance.
After most of the parade had passed, Catherine decided to grab herself another snack as she headed back to the stall, though she happened to overhear the conversation between one merchant and a customer.
"Did you hear about the wishing box in the Land of Grass?" the customer asked the merchant as he handed him the Ryo.
The merchant simply raised an eyebrow as he asked "What wishing box? I haven't visited the Grass in a few years, but I didn't hear about it the last time I visited."
"When I visited a few months back, I heard about the box. From what I was told, they say that it'll grant the wishes of anyone who opens it."
The merchant looked stunned as he understood the implications of it, though their conversation was interrupted by Catherine as she asked "I apologize for interrupting, but do you know where I can find the box?"
The man seemed stunned for a moment before he answered "You're fine. The last I heard the box was in a small town near their capital."
Catherine placed a few thousand ryo onto the counter near them both as she said "Thank you, gentlemen."
Catherine then left the town and began to fly as she fell into thought about the words that the man spoke.
'A wish-granting box? The only thing I could attribute it to would be the Box of Bliss. And while I'm not sure where it came from, I'll need to deal with it if I don't want the world to be in danger. Seems like I have to cut my journey short.' Catherine thought to herself as she headed in the direction of the Land of Grass.
