Lynn blinked at the sight, 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, they arrived at the second floor of the tavern, at 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:

"The usual 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 into account.

"That's Set Meal A, plus a Set Meal C (foie gras). Please wait a moment while I inform the kitchen."

After Alice finished taking notes, she tore off the top page of her 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 seemed to read something in Lynn's eyes, and 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 thief, just not a saber."

Upon hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but give Mira a strange look:

"Your family...is quite talented?"

A manager of an adventurers' guild, and a full member of a thief's guild?

Goodness, are you also going to raise a Hai Tong ne Jian Feng w at home?

"what?"

Mira was stunned 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 Jeken's situation.

"Speaking of which, if I were to post a mission in 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 manager of the Thieves' Guild. If you want to do something through the Thieves' Guild, contacting her is the easiest solution."

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 will also work as a waiter, so some high-ranking members of associations will also play along and role-play."

"There's such a way to play?" Lynn's expression immediately became subtle.

Is this thieving and selling counterfeit goods legitimate?

Just then, Alice returned with the 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, suddenly stopped and forced a smile:

"I understand, Alice."

"Call me Auntie! You silly Mira! I'm not the baby you need to change diapers for anymore!"

Lynn tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth.

If you laugh out loud at a time like this, the adventurer's life will probably come to an end!

So, Lynn, you have to try your best to hold back!!

Remember to smile!

Smile!!

Chapter 15: We have to trick people into revealing themselves!

Although Lynn was not in a good mood because of Jeken's matter.

But he still thoroughly enjoyed this pork knuckle meal!

The golden, crispy crust is paired with a soft, juicy interior, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes infused with meat juices.

Lynn finished all the food in one sitting, even shaping the mashed potatoes into balls, dipping them in the remaining sauce on the plate, and clearing the plate completely.

After he had finished eating, 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 I do one last check before I go to find Alice?”

"What confirmation?" Lynn picked up a slightly cooled hot towel from the side and wiped her oily lips.

At this moment, Mira paused for a moment, then finally asked:

"Is there really no room for reconciliation between you, your uncle, and that Jeken Knightworth?"

“No!” Lynn said without hesitation, requiring almost no time to think.

Seeing this, Mira sighed, speechless, and stood up, saying:

"Let's go then."

"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 looked like an office.

Behind a small desk in the office, just the right height for Alice, Lynn saw Alice dressed in a white tutu, looking just like a little princess.

"They arrived 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 anything I can help you with?"

"Hmph, considering you're a newcomer and an adventurer brought by Mira, I might be able to give you a small 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, Jeken Knightworth."

Upon 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 steal and then inquiring about their own family? And even buying information from their own uncle?"

Mira, still smiling, explained on Lynn's behalf:

"As you heard, he really doesn't understand his own family."

"This kind of situation isn't actually that uncommon, is it, Alice?"

"You should call me aunt."

Alice gave a soft hum, reminding Mira to change her wording, but she took Mira's words to heart:

"Don't you know your own family lineage? Didn't your elders ever mention it? Are you still playing this trick of raising your son in poverty?"

“I didn’t mention it,” Lynn added.

He had never met the real Lynn Knightworth, let alone her parents.

The fact that the Jeken family, who knew the truth, wanted him dead makes it strange that they could learn any family secrets from him.

"To understand Jeken Knightworth, we also need information about the Red Dragon family..."

Alice reached into the drawer, took out a magic mirror, and placed her hand on it:

"Your uncle's information is fine, but the information about the Knightworth family is a bit more troublesome."

"Knowledge involving faction intelligence will always come at a higher price, but since you're from the Knightworth family, it's not impossible to offer a discounted price."

At this moment, Lynn hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly:

"I can only spare 2 fiat currency."

"2? That's definitely a bit low."

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

"With this small quota, 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 stacked documents.

"Take it, this is information that people like us must know."

"As for the cost, 20,000 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 glance at the document, Alice asked eagerly:

"If not, could you please go out for a bit 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 pub exit while reading it:

'The Knightworth family?'

The lineage founded by the demigod-level red dragon 'Netvoka' 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 already moved entirely out of Mona City and returned to Dragon Island?'

'Within Mona City, only those branch families who voluntarily stayed remain?'

Just by reading this information, Lynn realized the problem.

Even if the main family has withdrawn, and even if Jeken is just a descendant of a branch family, he is still likely to be an adventurer.
