"He actually killed the wizard!"

"Heavens!"

"That was a real wizard!"

While everyone watched in shock, an alarm suddenly resonated through the sky!

This meant that Magon Academy’s law enforcers were about to deploy.

They had already sensed that something was amiss!

Xander stood there and didn’t show any trace of panic.

Everything was as he expected.

Magon Academy’s law enforcers were also under the supervision of the Ashen Spire, but there was an even stronger power above them.

The South Wizards Alliance.

"Woosh!"

Strange lights and shadows illuminated Xander’s surroundings. Someone was using [Pathfinder Dust] to perform a short teleport!

The people coming for Xander had absolute confidence. They set their teleport point close to him.

Xander knew how to interrupt this teleport, but he didn’t do so.

In a short ten seconds, six 2nd-rank wizards with serious expressions appeared around Xander.

Each of them was wielding a magic staff and aiming at him.

In the sky, a light flashed and a witch wearing a pointed hat was sitting on a slowly undulating magic carpet. She coldly said, "Kill him!"

She had clearly seen what just happened, but she hadn’t anticipated that Xander would be so decisive and ruthless!

She had wanted to stop it, but she didn’t have enough time and could only blankly watch Xander kill that apprentice wizard!

The two followers dying was not an issue—but the apprentice wizard was part of Magon Academy. And this apprentice had been charged with receiving visitors today!

This was simply a provocation to the Ashen Spire’s prestige!

The 2nd-rank wizards’ magic staves flickered with rays of light in different colors.

But at this moment, Xander leisurely took out a medallion!

He put away his curved daggers and raised the medallion. He said with indifference, "I request an arbitration!"

"I was slandered. This apprentice wizard had an ulterior motive, trying to frame me. And everything I did was in self-defense."

"I am Baron Xander of Redoak Vale. This is my Silver Leaf Medallion!"

Silver Leaf Medallion!

When Xander took out this item, all the 2nd-rank wizards were stunned. They then helplessly interrupted their casts!

The witch on the magic carpet was also astonished and landed.

The affair had become very troublesome.

The audience also hadn’t imagined that this seemingly poor noble was actually the owner of a Silver Leaf Medallion.

The medallion’s owners were strictly protected by the South Wizards Alliance.

In general, Xander could use it to request arbitration and other things. The medallion’s effects were actually far from its reputation. If you met with trouble, you couldn’t count on the South Wizards Alliance to uphold justice. However, this thing might come in handy after you caused trouble.

Xander’s medallion was passed down from his grandfather. A Silver Leaf Medallion could be used three times, and Redoak Vale’s previous overlord had treasured this medallion dearly, rarely taking it out.

But Xander was different. He knew the South Wizards Alliance would be finished very soon. If he didn’t use it now, it would only be a piece of scrap metal later.

What’s more, he really needed to make things bigger now, to attract many people’s attention.

At this time, using the Silver Leaf Medallion was the most fitting.

---

The witch descended from her magic carpet, and with a wave, she got one of her subordinates to step aside.

She quickly walked in front of Xander and used an appraisal spell with a stiff expression.

The medallion was genuine.

Xander’s identity was also genuine.

She said with confidence, "You do have the right to request an arbitration. However, during that period of time, you’ll need to stay in Magon Academy, and you won’t be allowed to leave."

In fact, she wanted nothing more than to use a spell and kill this ruthless youth in front of her. But every wizard or witch that wanted to become a member had to make all kinds of oaths to the [Holly Tree Throne]. Not abusing their authority to injure a Silver Leaf Medallion’s owner was one of them.

Breaking her oath was the same as betraying the South Wizards Alliance. This wasn’t a price she was able to bear.

"I’ll naturally stay in Magon Academy."

"As a matter of fact, I came here because my younger brother was set up by other people. I won’t go anywhere until he wakes up." Xander said with indifference.

"Now, Madam, can I go in?"

The witch coldly answered, "You can."

After saying that, she left a magic mark on Xander’s back to prevent him from fleeing without approval. She then prepared to leave.

But Xander suddenly said, "Hold on."

"What else do you want?" the witch snapped, dissatisfied.

"Arbitration requires a witness. Although there are many people here who could act as witnesses, I still wish for someone with a good and honest heart—someone who wouldn’t lie—as my witness."

Xander was talking while quickly walking toward an isolated young girl on the side.

He smiled at the girl, "Will you testify for me?"

The girl was stunned. Her expression changed a few times.

Why had he chosen her out of all those people?

That girl wasn’t ordinary...

The young girl was extremely astonished. She had two pigtails and her eyes were a bit large. She was wearing a purple skirt and seemed naive and innocent.

She hesitated, before nodding.

Xander quietly said, "Thank you."

Then he left, walking toward the depths of Magon Academy.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Xander had done that.

Yet the female wizard was standing there hesitating, apparently wanting to go and greet that young girl, while not daring to.

Instead, the young girl walked over and told her, "I’ll be his witness."

"You properly take care of the following process."

Saying that, she looked toward Xander’s back, revealing a strange smile. "Quite an interesting person."

[You have successfully identified the Ashen Spire’s Master in her disguised form]

[Reputation Change: Hathaway (Ashen Spire Master) - Curious]

What the young girl didn’t know was that Xander also revealed a knowing smile while walking inside Magon Academy:

’Didn’t expect to meet her.’

’Fortunately, I noticed that she suddenly appeared after the incident, and there wasn’t any magic power fluctuation.’

’Now that I have the Ashen Spire’s Master as my witness, the outcome of the arbitration is already decided.’

Sure enough, that little girl Xander recognized was the Ashen Spire’s Master—Hathaway!

Great Witch at the peak of 4th Rank, Half-Legend!

Hathaway practiced a kind of unconventional shape-shifting skill that could let her change her own age between 6 years old, 16 years old, and 26 years old.

This spell that could allow her to change as she wished made players drool... There was a lot of gossip between the male players about the Ashen Spire’s Legend; in short, "Marrying Hathaway was like having three wives."

As for the third change, only some people with very peculiar tastes would be interested.

In short, this legendary witch who always appeared and disappeared unpredictably had appeared in this situation, making Xander’s plan a lot smoother.

The apprentice wizard slandering Xander was a fact, and since Hathaway was aware of it, she would definitely not make a wrong judgment.

This use of the Silver Leaf Medallion was very worth it!

Following the path he remembered, Xander soon crossed Magon Academy’s largest area and arrived at the apprentice dorms.

Xander had once visited Dorian when he was first attending school. He still remembered a bit about that.

The apprentice dorms were set up on the hillside. There were six small paths, each path leading to the entrance of a tunnel.

As long as you displayed proof of your identity at the entrance of a tunnel, a domesticated goblin would lead the visitor to the needed room.

Soon, Xander arrived at Dorian’s doorway after being guided by a young goblin.

He knocked on the door, which was then opened by the old butler.

"Young Master Xander!"

The old butler was shocked.

He hadn’t expected Xander to arrive so shortly after he had sent his letter!

"You came alone?" The butler noticed no one behind Xander.

"Yes, that’s right."

Xander walked inside, and said with a serious expression, "I want to see Dorian."

"Hold on!"

The old butler pulled him back, his face showing a heavy expression. "Young Master Dorian’s current situation is very bad."

"Please be prepared."

Xander nodded.

"He is in the side room." The old butler pointed to a curtain on the side.

Xander could smell the dense aroma of magic medicine coming from behind the curtain.

He walked in without any hesitation.
