I walk around the city. Getting weird glances nothing new.
This time, however, I don't search for a rundown clothes shop I just go to the nearest one.
Who knows there's probably cheap clothes in a good shop has well. As I enter the store with a sign saying god knows what but there's a wooden logo with a pair of pants engraved on it.
As I enter the shop/store I don't know the difference. The store clerk looks at me for a second then looks elsewhere. How rude, not even gonna greet me. Well, i understand. I look like a beggar after all...
I look around the store and see a lot of clothes. On the left side Girls, right side boys. I (obviously) go to the right side and look for clothes. I find a normal pair of pants not that bad looking. Not good either. I look at the Clerk then point at the pants.
"90 Teslo"
Blackmail 100% blackmail... This doesn't even look good but it cost 90? I was expecting around 20 or something...
I grab a pair of pants that wasn't even on a shelf it was on the ground it was torn up a little. I point at it.
"30 Teslo"
I almost thru the pair of pants in the clerk's face. The clerk looks at me with eyes filled with pity.
"*Cough* 20 Teslo"
I grab 17 copper coins and put it in the clerk's hand. Honestly, this pair of pants looks so bad it should be 5 copper coins.
The clerk looks at me. Sighs then smiles.
"Serto nanu destsha!"
I hope that meant thanks or something along the lines, but it has to be I mean she's smiling.
I walk out of the store with the pair of pants on.
"Hopefully I don't get any more weird looks."

Now let's hope that there is a guild here.
Actually, let's find a library, I need a book with this annoying ass language first. I know it will take me a LONG time to learn but it's better than not learning it. Gotta finds a building with a wooden logo of a book or something. I doubt it's like that but who knows.
After 3 hours Yes 3 hours! Of searching, I find a library with a wooden logo of a book... didn't actually think it would have one. Do they use these signs for everything?
I enter the bookstore, there are not that many books so I think it's a bookstore. I walk past the girl reading a book.
I guess if it were a library they would ask me for copper coins and give me a wooden membership item of some sort right?
I browse the books for a good 3 minutes.
"I don't understand this language so how am I supposed to know if it's that sort of boo-"
'Would you like to learn this skill' '10 Intelligence 15 Wisdom required ' 'Yes or No'
Ohhh ohh!
I wasn't expecting this!
"Yes"
A light blinds me and the book disappears.

"Oh nothing, thanks, ALOT"
"Your welcome?"
As I get out of the bookstore with a stupid grin on my face.
"Well!, Off to the guild!"
