If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

"And the method you mentioned, which involves keeping your level at 1 and infinitely increasing your attribute points, won't work in the Stigmata system!"

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

Mira spread her hands and shrugged, saying:

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

"After all, before reaching Level 5 Adventurer, there is no such thing as a bottleneck 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 is to max out all five attributes and then immediately upgrade them.

However, can the ability to acquire multiple skills break the adventurer's level 1 attribute cap of only 2 points?

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 speed and endurance in this particular subject are probably comparable to some level 3 adventurers who specialize in one subject.

"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 state, if I may be so bold, you could definitely practice your forensic 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 at the same time offered her own thoughts:

"However, besides the meal, 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: "The Thieves Association, how do I get there? I have a mission I'd like to ask them for help with."

Mira remained in the position of 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 her cheek upon hearing this: "Uh... isn't it inconvenient to eat at the guild?"

When Lynn left the guild, he lingered on the second floor and found that his portraits were 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 Mona's Tavern.

This place is not far from the Adventurers' Guild.

After exiting the guild gate, walk less than two hundred meters to the right, and across the street is the 'Mona's 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 Thief Shopping Guild?"

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

"This place is a thief's den?!"

"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 would actually not recommend that you get involved with thieves."

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

"Unpopular? Then why do they dare to hold 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 are the headquarters of the Red Dragon Merchant Guild, the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, the Adventurers' House which sells weapons and potions, and even an alchemy workshop.

Further ahead, starting from the mountain road, lies the headquarters of the military police, municipal departments, and even the city lord's mansion at the summit.

How could an unpopular thief's club be operating 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 City?

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

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

Just as Lynn was trying to understand, the door of the tavern 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 the sound, Lynn looked at the fox-eared loli in front of her, 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 her.

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 1.55 meters including her fox ears, then turned to look at Mira:

"acquaintance?"

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

"Isn't Mira happy 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 her, 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 expression, “Although she is five years younger than me, according to the generational hierarchy, 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 older one.

"What brings you to this tavern?"

Despite being small in stature, Alice looked up at Mira with a hint of curiosity on her face:

“I remember it seems like it’s been almost three months since you last came here.”

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

This man's brother... is he Miss Mira's father? Lynn suddenly understood why Mira was standing awkwardly in front of the tavern.

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

At this moment, facing the precocious Alice, 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 for you 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 work of receiving 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 everything else, those are minor matters.'"

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

“I understand, Alice…Auntie.”

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

"Tomorrow, I will apply to stop accepting consultant work for new adventurers 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 were spoken on behalf of my brother."

Lynn's lips twitched, and he glanced at Mira's helpless face 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, it's really troubled to take care of her."

"No, no, no, I'm the one being taken care of," Lynn quickly waved her 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?"

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

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

"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 your consultant."

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

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

Descendants of dragons?

What about Jaken Knightworth?!

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

At this moment, Mira, standing beside 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, “However, Mira, you are a guest now.”

"so...."

"Welcome to Mona's Tavern."
