Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"And the method you mentioned, which involves keeping the level at 1 and infinitely increasing attribute points, won't work with the Holy Mark System!"

"Unless you learn dozens of skills at once, master them all, gain the bonus from the skill characteristics, and then add them to the attributes of a level 1 adventurer."

Mira shrugged and said, "..."

"But such geniuses have already trained all their attributes to the point where they can level up, so why would they stay stuck at level one?"

"After all, before becoming a Level 5 adventurer, there is no such thing as a bottleneck, which is something that only advanced adventurers would consider."

“Uh…” Lynn was completely unable to refute Mira’s statement.

Yes, knowing that there is a limit to attribute upgrades, the normal choice for a person would be to upgrade as soon as all five attributes are maxed out.

However, can the ability to gain multiple skills break the 2-point attribute cap for level 1 adventurers?

Lynn glanced at his 3 points in stamina and agility, and nodded knowingly.

After his stealth skill was upgraded to level 5, the stamina and agility attributes he gained allowed him to exceed the 2-point cap.

Judging from this, his current specialization in speed and endurance is probably comparable to some level 3 adventurers who specialize in one area.

"Alright, since your physique and strength haven't improved, remember to focus on swordsmanship training for the next period of time."

"As for your mental abilities, if I may be so bold, you could definitely practice your appraisal skills more."

"The variety of monsters in the first three levels of the dungeon is enough to train you to the point of improving your mental strength."

Mira clapped her hands as she spoke, then turned and walked toward the door.

When they reached the door, Mira turned around and looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression:

Aren't you leaving yet?

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Of course we need to eat."

Upon hearing this, Lynn quickly followed and also offered her own thoughts:

"But besides eating, I have another question to ask you."

"Speak," Mira said succinctly, pushing open the door.

At this moment, Lynn caught up with Mira and lowered his voice slightly: "Thieves' Guild, how do I get there? I have a quest I'd like them to help me with."

Mira kept pushing the door open, looked up at Lynn, and met his dark eyes.

Finally, Mira turned her head and said:

"Let's talk about this when we get to the restaurant."

After saying that, Mira pushed open the door and walked out of the notary office.

-----------------

8 minutes later,

Lynn stood in front of a shop with a sign that read 'Mona's Tavern' and blinked.

"Is this where we eat?"

"Hmm," Mira responded softly, adding, "More expensive than the guild."

Lynn scratched his cheek upon hearing this: "Uh...it's just that it's inconvenient to eat at the guild."

When Lynn left the guild, he lingered on the second floor and discovered that his portrait was selling very well there.

Even if Lynn were incredibly easygoing, she wouldn't insist on eating there under such circumstances.

Fortunately, Mira was aware of this, so she brought him to this Mona Tavern.

This place is not far from the Adventurers' Guild.

After leaving the guild gate, walk less than two hundred meters to the right, and across the street is this 'Mona Tavern'.

Judging from the bustling scene inside the store, business here seems to be quite good?

Just as Lynn was speculating, Mira crossed her arms, sighed, and said:

"If it's inconvenient to eat at the guild, you can go somewhere else, but why did you have to go to the Thieves' Guild?"

Lynn was taken aback by these words, then abruptly looked up at the tavern in front of him:

"This place is the Thieves' Guild?!"

"To be precise, it's a secret branch of the association, and of course, it also undertakes certain tasks."

As Mira spoke, she put one hand on her hip, seemingly doing some kind of mental preparation before entering the store:

"If possible, I actually wouldn't recommend you get involved with the Thieves' Guild."

"After all, this is a place that takes on assassination missions, which, to be honest, isn't very popular among mainstream adventurers."

"Unpopular? Then why do they still dare to open their association here?" Lynn looked around.

The tavern is located not far from the Adventurers' Guild.

This is a prime location.

On the same street, there is the headquarters of the Red Dragon Merchant Guild, the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, an Adventurers' House selling weapons and potions, and even an alchemy workshop.

Further ahead, along the mountain road, lies the headquarters of the military police, municipal departments, and even the lord's mansion at the top of the mountain.

How could an unpopular thieves' guild be located in such a prime location?

"Why wouldn't they dare?" Mira looked up at the sign above and curled her lip. "Look at that name, can't you tell how confident they are?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately realized what was happening.

Mona's Tavern? Mona's City?

Good heavens, a direct descendant of the city lord?!

It's not surprising that it's located here...

Just as Lynn was trying to understand, the tavern door in front of him suddenly opened.

The door jingled as it was pulled open.

Then, a slightly naive and charming female voice rang out:

"I thought I was seeing things when I was in the store, but it really is you!"

"Mira~"

Upon hearing this, Lynn looked at the fox-eared loli in front of him, whose hair was half white and half black and whose height was estimated to be a little over 1.4 meters, but couldn't help glancing at Mira beside him.

Did I run into someone I know?

Chapter 14 Auntie, Love Me Again!

Lynn glanced at the girl in front of him with brightly colored hair and a height of at least 1.55 meters including her fox ears, then turned to look at Mira:

"acquaintance?"

“Alice Franker.” Mira hesitated before uttering the girl’s name, seemingly unsure how to describe her identity: “She’s kind of my…”

Was Mira unhappy to see her aunt?

The fox-eared girl, dressed in a black maid outfit that resembled a gothic lolita, spoke expressionlessly.

"aunt?"

Lynn looked at the little girl in front of him, then looked back at Mira, who was at least 1.7 meters tall, a tall stature even among girls, and suddenly had a subtle feeling.

“She is my grandfather’s youngest daughter.” Mira said with a troubled look, “Although she is five years younger than me, according to the generational system, she is indeed my aunt.”

"I understand, I understand." Lynn nodded and said, "I also have a nephew who is three years older than me."

Mira glanced at Lynn upon hearing this. No, you don't understand. After all, you're the one with the higher seniority.

"What brings you to the tavern?"

Alice, though younger than Mira, looked up at her with a hint of curiosity on her face.

“I remember you haven’t been here for almost three months.”

“My brother asked me about you a couple of days ago, but I couldn’t say anything.”

This guy's brother... is he Miss Mira's father? Lynn suddenly understood why Mira was standing in front of the tavern with such an awkward expression.

Having such a lovely and caring 'elder' is indeed quite a dilemma.

At this moment, facing Alice who seemed like a little adult, Mira could only sigh and say:

"Alice, I was recently promoted to supervisor, and I'm quite busy with work."

“Call me Auntie, Aunt Alice.” Alice emphasized, then frowned and said, “Now that you’ve been promoted to supervisor, you should delegate unnecessary tasks to your subordinates. There’s no need to do everything yourself.”

Alice glanced at Lynn standing beside her as she spoke, and then sighed:

“My brother told me before that he wanted to remind you to get rid of the reception work for new consultants as soon as possible.”

"In his own words, 'What Mira needs to do now is to take good care of the adventurers under her command. As for other things, those are minor matters.'"

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Mira?"

“I understand, Alice…Auntie.”

Mira awkwardly spoke to Alice in front of her, then paused and added:

"Tomorrow, I will apply to stop accepting new adventurers as my advisor and focus solely on the adventurers I already have."

“You should have done this a long time ago.” Alice put her hands on her hips, her tone carrying a hint of naivety.

After she finished speaking, she added, "These words are for my brother."

Lynn's lips twitched, and he glanced at Mira's helpless expression out of the corner of his eye, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

At that moment, Alice turned her head and looked up at Lynn with her small frame, saying:

"This good-for-nothing niece, I'm really sorry to trouble you to take care of her."

“No, no, no, I’m the one being taken care of,” Lynn quickly waved his hand and said, “I’m a newcomer who was assigned to Miss Frankie’s team today, so I’m the one being taken care of.”

"I see, a newcomer, huh?"

Alice glanced at Lynn with surprise, then lifted her skirt and introduced herself:

"Nice to meet you, I am Alice Franker."

"The eighth daughter of the Franger family."

Eight children? The fox-people are really prolific… Lynn thought to himself, while outwardly introducing himself:

"This is Lynn Knightworth, nice to meet you."

"Netvoka?"

Alice glanced at Lynn in surprise upon hearing this:

"A member of the Red Dragon family?"

"No wonder Mira is in charge of your consulting work."

The Red Dragon Family? Lynn's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he didn't ask any more questions; he just remembered the information.

So... the Knightworth family is the so-called Red Dragon family?

Descendants of dragons?

What about Jack Knightworth?!

Lynn's heart sank, but she didn't show it on the surface and tacitly agreed with Alice's statement.

At this moment, Mira, who was standing next to her, frowned and said:

"Alice, don't say anything unnecessary."

“You should call her Auntie,” Alice reminded her, then stepped aside to make way, saying, “But Mira, you are the guest now.”

"so...."

"Welcome to Mona's Tavern."
