Chapter 282 Beth's Test
Beth smiled and said, "Leo, I'm very glad you accepted my invitation today."
Leo smiled and said, "I am truly flattered by your invitation, Wizard Beth. Among first-class wizard apprentices, I am probably the only one to be invited to dinner by a formal wizard."
Beth tapped the table lightly with her fingertip and said, "That's not necessarily true. Nova and Anthony were both first-class wizard apprentices who were once invited to become formal wizards."
"I am truly flattered to be ranked alongside the two of them."
Beth said, "No need to be modest, Leo. You absolutely deserve to be on par with them."
"Leo, are you aware that the official wizards in the central area of the Tower of Dawn are divided into three factions?"
Leo said, "I've heard a little about it."
Beth smiled and said, "The three major factions also have different attitudes toward the Pros."
"The Golden Eagle faction, filled with hostility towards the Pros, includes wizards like Saga and Kindley. The Falcon faction, maintaining a neutral stance, is like wizard Stoffen. And then there's the Black Eagle faction, which remains friendly towards the Pros."
Beth said, "And I come from the Black Eagle faction."
Leo smiled and said, "Lord Beth, when we first met, you introduced yourself as a formal wizard of the Black Eagle faction, and I remember that very clearly."
Upon hearing this, Beth wasn't embarrassed at all. He said, "Is that so? Oh, I've already introduced myself. Well, my memory is really failing me."
Bass laughed.
Leo smiled outwardly, but inwardly he cursed.
The bassist probably sought him out for something; otherwise, he wouldn't have kept emphasizing that he belonged to the Black Eagle faction and that he not only didn't discriminate against the Pros people but was also very friendly towards them.
It's like someone who scams money keeps insisting that they're a respectable person.
Beth, seemingly sensing the opportune moment, smiled and said, "Leo, I overheard the wizard Augusta mention that you possess a very special bloodline ability. Is that true?"
Leo pondered for a moment.
There was only one person who believed he possessed bloodline abilities: Augusta.
Stoffen was relatively clear about Leo's background, but he didn't bother to ask further, so it was impossible for Leo to reveal that he had bloodline abilities.
A thoughtful look flashed across Leo's eyes.
Now it seems that Augusta still doubts himself about his claim of having bloodline abilities.
Augusta told Beth that it was probably to test him.
Thinking of this, Leo feigned surprise and said, "That's true. I possess a bloodline ability for prophetic magic. It's not particularly special, but it's still somewhat useful."
Beth asked, "It's not just somewhat useful. You used this bloodline ability to help the Saga Wizard solve the problem of the splitting and proliferation of his magical artifacts, and you also used this bloodline ability to help the Stoffon Wizard create the dragon blood purification potion he had been dreaming of."
"Your bloodline ability is undoubtedly a treasure to us formal wizards."
"I..."
Before Leo could say anything, Beth excitedly said, "And I heard that your bloodline ability can be used again. I wonder if I could have this chance?"
Leo's heart skipped a beat.
Damn Augusta, this is a trap I'm set for.
Leo told Augusta that he would not be able to use this bloodline ability for several years, but he told Beth that he could still use it once more.
Leo's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he was thinking about how to fool... no, how to answer!
Just then.
The waiter brought in the food.
Beth said, "Let's stop the small talk and eat first. I don't like talking to people while I'm eating."
After a relaxing mealtime.
Beth put down her knife and fork, and tapped the table lightly with the fingertips of her right hand.
Bass's fingers were long and slender, and fair.
However, her nails were painted with purple nail polish.
The overall feeling is one of eerie discomfort.
Beth said, "Leo, within the Black Eagle faction, I'm considered a fairly important figure. My status is second only to Wizard Esmond, and roughly on par with Wizard Safi. Personally, I have a very good attitude towards the Pros."
Beth reiterated her status and position.
Leo smiled wryly and said, "Wizard Beth, I understand what you mean. But if I told you that my bloodline abilities are temporarily unusable and will take at least a few years to recover, would you believe me?"
Beth said, "Believe? How can you expect me to believe?"
"You can unleash the power of your bloodline against the Golden Eagle faction, which is hostile to the Pros."

"You can use your bloodline power against the Falcon faction, which is neutral to the Pros."

"Why is it that you can't use your bloodline power when you come to my Xuan Ying faction, which is friendly to the Pros people?"
Beth's expression was calm, but his tone carried a hint of anger.
Beth stared at Leo and said, "Could it be that you consider the friendly attitude of us Xuan Ying faction wizards towards the Pros people to be unimportant?"
Leo felt a sense of unease.
This Augusta truly lives up to his reputation as an old man who has lived for hundreds of years; when he starts to play tricks, it's impossible to guard against him.
He didn't just randomly choose Beth to deal with Leo; he had considered it carefully.
Bass has a very special status.
He is a formal wizard of the Black Eagle faction, which is friendly to the Pros, and is one of its best members.
If Leo offends him, the direct consequence will undoubtedly be the Xuan Ying faction's hostility towards the Pros.
If it were a formal wizard from the Golden Eagle or Falcon factions, this effect would not be achieved.
After all, one of them is hostile and the other is neutral, so Leo doesn't need to care about their attitudes at all.
But the Xuan Ying faction is not an option.
In the Tower of Dawn, the precarious social status of the Pros is only supported by the Black Eagle faction.
However, Leo couldn't help Beth complete the research he wanted to do.
Once this precedent is set...
All legitimate wizards will surely come smelling it.
Leo quickly calmed down.
It's just acting, isn't it?
He could act flawlessly in front of Augusta.
He can do it just as well as this bassist!
Leo, once again channeling his veteran acting skills, hesitated slightly before saying, "Wizard Beth, if a wizard from another faction had said this, I would definitely have refused. After all, they aren't like your Black Eagle faction, always maintaining a friendly relationship with us Pros."
"Today, even at the risk of being targeted by other formal wizards, I want to tell you that, in addition to the normal accumulation and recovery over time, my bloodline ability can also be used to replenish what it consumes."
