"so why did you not asking any one here?"
"i am easily get panic when i was lost, i ever ask someone to point the way but instead i go the right way, th-they kidnap me"
"ohhhh" everybody began ah oh together syncly
then the elder explain about morata "it's ok, here in morata there are no such things, this place security is 99%, well that is because hunting place around is good there are no guild that put tax, so everybody here is hunting and grinding, sometime sell some stuff instead doing bad things"
'so this is why, ceres told me -'you can change anything you want but please choose morata to be your starter city' he must be want me to be safe, what a caring husband'

"I'll give it to you as soon as possible" she said as she began walking away
"WAIT, you forget the map"
"ahh, easy to forget, thanks to reminding me uncle!"
"yeah, good luck young adventurer"the npc looking at her, when she got the map, she can easily know the place, the npc sighed
When she got to ice dragon hall, she walk around looking at the kiosks there are a lot that selling the bunny's skin, it's so cheap even their eyes look so annoyed of me here, 1 gold is enough to buy the animal's skin here so cheap it's just average from 20 copper to 2 silver (maybe), but when he pull out a gold coin from her pouch, the merchant around her began surrounding her,
"what did you need here, beautiful miss??" ask the little merchant
"if you need some animal skin buy from here, my animal skin is the best" said the tallest merchant
"don't buy his animal's skin, leather from my kiosk is the cheapest" said the merchant that somehow so fat and so on,"hmm, i never play royal road before, so i don't know which one the cheapest or which one, so.."the merchant around her looked confused, but there are one merchant that looking at her from far distance interested"so, the one teaching me, how to choosing the skin, how much the price, i'll give him/her some copper depend on how accurate the information, how is it??, sounds like a deal right?"
"but our information to be charged to some copper is too..."
"i'll teach you how to choose the best animal's skins and how to separate its, i'll sell this information for 70 copper", said the one who sell the best animal's skin
"if just separating it, i can doing it too just for 55copper", said the other merchant
"how do you know your information is accurate?"then some merchants giving up but the three from before not,"so what information did you want to offer to me? And how accurate is it?"Chili said
"i'll offer how to choose the animal's skin, i learn it from taylor here, but because i lack how to sew i choose to be merchant that sell only animal's skin, like i said from before, just 70 copper" said the tall merchant
"i see, so what did you 2 offer to me?"
"i know the price of the most animal's skin here, i already here 2 month and i sell it 70 copper" the fat merchant

"you are the last one, what did you offer?"
"hmm, i-i don't know, but i have a lot of skin, ahh, i'll offer you how to haggle npc it's just 40 copper"
"no"
the child said while sweating "why?"
"i am in no need to haggle npc, ehh, i think i can think of it, i'll take all of your offer?" Chilli said while her eyes glaring to the other 2 merchant, "ok, i'll give you the money after hearing the information" she got calmed and got identify that she got after looking to each animal's skin, there are bunny's skin, snake's skin, wolf's skin, and many other when he done identify all skin, his identify increased 30%, he now know how much is bunny's fur / skin price
"alright thanks a lot, this is the money for information, and i bought them all the fur/skin, if i'am buy a lot, i get discount right?"
"what?, did you really want to buy them all?, how will you bring them all?, ah what ever, all of them is 97silver 43 copper, it's already get discount"

"don't you look at my clothes i am still newbie"
"please, don't be like that be generous"
"hmm, okey, 96 silver without delivery is 95 silver, deal?"
"ok deal"
"let me borrow that cart"
"sure you can, but there are no one will pull it for you"
"aren't i said, no need to deliver?, i'll pull it by myself", she said while neating the animal's skin in the cart then with her barbarian strength he pull the cart with ease
the merchant looking at her with jaw-droping
when she arrived she look at the elder worried face, but when elder look at her with a cart his worried face gone, "when i was waiting, i worried you got lost but i think my worries is not needed, let me see what is inside your cart" when he see it he see what is inside cart, he saw a high quality bunny's skin, wolf's skin and deer's skin even snake's skin there too, "you buy a lot, but why did you buy this much, all of this is high quality enough, and looking at your race, you wouldn't want to learn taylor right?"
"hmm, yeah i wouldn't but i need it, so i would want to learn taylor from you, uncle"
"hmm, why you not learn from taylor guild?, i already retired from tayloring"
