Seeing this, Lynn blinked, then turned to look at Mira, who was sighing beside him.
At this moment, Mira said helplessly to Lynn, "Never mind, let's go inside first."
Lynn nodded upon hearing this, and then, led by Alice, went to the second floor of the tavern to a window seat with a view.
At this moment, Alice pulled a shorthand notebook from the pocket of the waitress's skirt and said to Mira with practiced ease:
"Is it still the same foie gras set meal?"
“Yes, the usual.” Mira nodded, then looked at Lynn: “I recommend you try the pork knuckle set meal at this restaurant; it’s their signature set meal.”
"Then let's have the pork knuckle set meal." Lynn nodded, taking Mira's suggestion.
"That's Set Meal A, plus a Set Meal C (foie gras). Please wait a moment while I go and inform the kitchen."
After Alice finished taking notes, she tore off the top page of the notebook, stuffed the rest of the notebook into her pocket, and then turned and left.
After Alice left, Lynn turned around and glanced at Mira.
At this moment, Mira, seemingly reading something from Lynn's eyes, said somewhat awkwardly:
"She is indeed my aunt."
After saying that, Mira added:
"And don't let her young age fool you, she's a full member of the Thieves' Guild, just not Saber."
Hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but give Mira a strange look:
"Your family...is quite talented?"
A director of an adventurers' guild, a full member of a thieves' association?
Good grief, are you trying to raise a Pirate King Luffy?
"what?"
Mira paused for a moment, then looked at Lynn with a strange expression that seemed to say, "How dare you say such a thing to me?"
However, Lynn didn't have the ability to read other people's eyes. When Mira stared at him like that, besides being a little confused, he was more puzzled by the surname Knightworth and had an urgent urge to investigate Jacken's situation.
"Speaking of which, if I were to post a mission with the Thieves' Guild, wouldn't I need to contact your aunt?"
Mira nodded upon hearing this and frankly stated:
"The reason I brought you here is to find her."
"Alice is the logistics director of the Thieves' Guild. If you want to do something through the Thieves' Guild, contacting her is the easiest way."
Lynn looked at Mira with a strange expression.
The association's director?
So young?
Seeing Lynn's gaze, Mira seemed to misunderstand something and explained in a low voice:
"I became a waiter because of the tavern owner's interest."
"Sometimes, the owner of this tavern would also occasionally act as a waiter, so some of the association's higher-ups would also cooperate and play along with the role-playing."
"Is this how you play?" Lynn's expression immediately became subtle.
Are you even running a legitimate thieves' guild?
Just then, Alice returned with her tray, calmly addressing the two of them:
"Take this, be careful it's hot!"
Alice placed the two meals, along with hot towels, in front of them, then, holding the tray, calmly said like a normal waiter:
Please enjoy your meal.
After saying that, Alice added:
"If you have any special needs, please come to my office after your meal."
Mira, who was about to say something, immediately stopped what she was doing and forced a smile.
"I understand, Alice."
"Call me Auntie! You silly Mira! I'm not the baby who needs your diaper changed anymore!"
Lynn tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth.
At a time like this, if you were to laugh, the adventurer's life would likely come to an end!
So, Lynn, you have to try your best to hold back!!
Remember to smile!
Smile!!
Chapter 15: We need to lure them out!
Although Lynn wasn't in a good mood because of what happened with Jack.
But he still enjoyed the pork knuckle set meal!
The golden, crispy crust is paired with a soft, juicy interior, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes infused with meat juices.
Lynn finished every last bite of food, even shaping the mashed potatoes into balls and dipping them in the remaining sauce on the plate, completing a clean plate campaign.
After he had eaten his fill, Lynn looked up and glanced at Mira, who had a serious expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Lynn looked at Mira with a puzzled expression, then glanced down at the untouched food. "You don't have an appetite?"
“No.” Mira sighed softly, then looked up at Lynn. “I was just thinking, should we do one last check before we go to find Alice?”
"What confirmation?" Lynn picked up the hot towel that was already a little cool and wiped her oily lips.
After a moment of silence, Mira finally asked:
"Is there really no room for reconciliation between you, your uncle, and that Jacken Knightworth?"
“No!” Lynn said without hesitation, almost without needing to think.
Seeing this, Mira was speechless for a moment, then sighed, stood up, and said:
"Then let's go."
"And what about your dinner?" Lynn pointed to the untouched food in front of her.
"I'll eat it when I get back."
"Let's go, let's go find Alice together."
Lynn did not refuse upon hearing this, stood up, and left with Mira.
Soon Lynn and Mira arrived at a room that resembled an office.
Behind the small desk in the office, which was just the right height for Alice, Lynn saw Alice dressed in a white tutu, looking just like a little princess.
"They came even faster than I expected."
Sitting at her desk, Alice, holding a quill pen, raised an eyebrow, rolled up the parchment scroll in front of her, stuffed it into the cabinet, and then glanced up at Lynn:
"So, is there something you need my help with?"
"Hmph, considering you're a newcomer and an adventurer brought by Mira, I might be able to give you a slight discount."
Upon hearing this, Mira turned her gaze to the side and looked at Lynn standing beside her.
At this moment, Lynn bluntly stated:
“I need information about the so-called Red Dragon family, as well as information about my uncle, Jacken Knightworth.”
Hearing this, Alice glanced at Lynn in surprise, then turned to Mira, her face full of doubt, and said:
What's wrong with him?
"The Knightworth family, coming to the Thieves' Guild to inquire about their own family? And they even want to buy information about their uncle?"
Mira, still smiling, explained on Lynn's behalf:
"As you have heard, he really doesn't know anything about his own family."
"This situation isn't actually that uncommon, is it, Alice?"
"You should call me aunt."
Alice gave a soft snort, reminding Mira to change her wording, but she took Mira's words to heart:
"Don't you know anything about your family lineage? Didn't your elders ever mention it? Are you still playing this 'raising a son frugally' trick?"
“It wasn’t mentioned,” Lynn added.
He had never met the real Lynn Knightworth, let alone her parents.
And the Jacken family, who know the truth, want him dead. It would be strange if they could learn any family secrets from him.
"We need to know more about Jeken Knightworth and the Red Dragon family..."
Alice reached into the drawer, took out a magic mirror, and placed her hand on it:
"The information about your uncle is fine, but the information about the Knightworth family is a bit more troublesome."
"Knowledge involving intelligence about forces tends to come at a higher price, but since you're from the Knightvoka family, it's not impossible to offer you a discounted price."
At this moment, Lynn pondered for a moment, then frankly said:
"I can only withdraw 2 yuan."
"2? That's indeed a bit low."
Alice glanced at Mira standing beside her as she spoke, then sighed and said:
"With this limited allocation, you can only receive some documents that are not highly classified."
As Alice spoke, her hand disappeared into the magic mirror.
Are you sure you want it?
"Of course!"
Upon hearing this, Alice stopped asking questions and placed her hand on her right side, which Lynn assumed was a frog decoration.
However, just as Alice placed her hand on the frog decoration, the frog suddenly opened its mouth wide and spat out a small stack, about a dozen folded sheets of paper.
"Take it. This is information that people like us need to know."
"As for the fee, the 20,000 you mentioned will do. Come and pay."
Without hesitation, Lynn stepped forward, placed his hand on the magic mirror, and took the documents provided by Alice.
Is there anything else?
Before Lynn could even look through the documents, Alice asked eagerly:
"If not, could you please go out for a moment and remember to close the door behind you? I have some family matters to discuss with Mira."
Upon hearing this, Lynn glanced at Mira beside him, then rolled up the document and nodded, saying:
"Then I won't bother you any longer."
"Perfect timing, I also want to go back to the guild to rest for a bit."
With that, Lynn glanced at Mira, who seemed hesitant to speak, and then turned and walked out of the office.
After the door closed, Lynn took a deep breath in the hallway, then opened the file and walked towards the tavern exit, glancing at it as he went.
'The Knightworth family?'
The family line, founded by the demigod-level dragon 'Netvorka', has a history of 500 years.
'In the past five hundred years, three demigod-level adventurers have emerged, two of whom earned the title of Sword Saint?'
'Has the main family moved entirely out of Mona City and returned to Dragon Island?'
'Within Mona City, are only the branch families who voluntarily stayed behind?'
Just by reading this information, Lynn realized the problem.
Even if the main family has retreated, and even if Jaken is just a descendant of a branch family, he would most likely still be an adventurer.
