"Mr. Leo, what did you do? Those primitive believers will respect you so much and actually give you the heart of nature as a gift. You must know that even the city of Xueyuan took a long time and paid an amazing price to exchange for a heart of nature for study in the city of Xueyuan." Delkan stood in the carriage and looked at the crowd of people who had not dispersed in the distance to see you off. He couldn't help but ask Leo, who was looking at the heart of nature in his hand in surprise.

"I just helped a little bit." Leo put the Heart of Naturalness into the box and put it aside. Although the Heart of Naturalness seemed very precious in Delkan's eyes, compared to the various strange things that Leo had found from the Shaman Academy treasure house yesterday, the Heart of Naturalness could only be ranked outside the top three.

Two days ago, Leo and Sylvia successfully transformed the Shaman Academy's Tree City. No difficulties were encountered in terms of the transformation of the Spirit-absorbing Vine, the spiritual inspiration and subsequent transformation of the Tree Heart. The success made them doubt whether the transformation plan was really effective.

However, in the subsequent test, Sylvia used the abyss secret technique to stimulate the properties of the spirit-absorbing vine to produce a large number of abyss auras in a short period of time, imitating some unexpected situations. As they thought, all the abyss auras were introduced into the blood fruit before they overflowed and spread. The internal environment of the tree city did not reveal a trace of abyss aura.

When the abyss aura absorbed by the blood fruit reached the critical point set by Leo, the tree heart activates the purification ability, greatly neutralizes it, and purifies the abyss aura, so that the abyss aura in the blood fruit always remains within a controllable range. The entire process does not require any human control, just like a well-developed program.

The only flaw is that purifying the abyss aura requires the use of the natural force condensed by the tree heart. Once the natural force consumes more than replenishes, the hidden dangers of the abyss aura will reappear.

Leo did not hide this defect, but told the shaman mentors when he left, and the shaman mentors did not pay too much attention after hearing this. In their opinion, the hidden dangers have been truly eliminated and the effect was better than they expected. As for the defect, you only need to be careful and there will be no problem.

Although Leo and Sylvia have taken away the rewards of helping them solve hidden dangers from the shamans' treasure house, the shaman mentors seem to think it is not enough, so when the exchange team in the school town was back on their way, they gathered a natural heart and gave it to Leo and Sylvia to express their gratitude and respect.

In shamanic doctrine, the natural heart is divided into many types. The highest level is undoubtedly the natural heart that is naturally produced by heaven and earth. It is said that there are the mystery of heaven and earth. The great shaman who masters the mystery can also break through the limits of shaman power and become the incarnation of nature, just like a god.

In the past, there were many geniuses with extraordinary wisdom. They artificially created various artificial natural hearts based on the formation process of the natural heart. Although each natural heart has a distinction between high and low strength, it can be regarded as a top-notch strange thing if it is taken out alone. More importantly, these natural hearts can be used by anyone, even heretics and cultists can use the natural hearts, and even directly transform them into evil sacred objects or artifacts.

The natural heart given to Leo by the shaman tutors of the shaman Academy is not the best natural heart. This natural heart is formed by the shaman tutors separated part of their spirituality, and it contains part of their shaman power.

Although this part of the shaman power cannot produce any powerful abilities, it can bring some convenience to those who hold this natural heart, especially those travelers, such as travelers who do not need to worry about mosquito bites, or night attacks from beasts, and will not get lost in the forest, etc.

More importantly, the heart of nature also represents a symbol of identity. Not only will the natural shaman pay respect to the owner of the heart of nature, but even the shamans of other factions will give varying degrees of goodwill.

For others, the heart of nature is like a priceless treasure. It can be seen from the shock and envy that Delkan showed when he saw those natural shamans actually gave Leo a heart of nature. Even if Delkan contemptly called those natural shamans primitive believers, he also knew the precious value of the heart of nature.

But for Leo and Sylvia, the natural heart is useless, regardless of its actual value in daily use or its potential identity value. Leo, who can perfectly disguise as a natural shaman, can have the same effect even without this natural heart, or even better. This natural heart can only be regarded as a souvenir in their eyes.

In the eyes of both of them, what is truly valuable is the collections they read in the Shaman Academy and the few treasures they took from the treasure house.

When they entered the treasure house to select treasures, they were not polite at all. They directly picked out the most precious treasures in the treasure house, including the shamanic sacred artifact made of the skull of the founder of the academy.

Although these treasures are extremely precious and have extraordinary significance to the Shaman Academy, in the eyes of those Shaman Mentors' Union, these treasures they regarded as sacred in the past seem unworthy compared to the hidden dangers that Leo and Sylvia helped them eliminate. What's more, under Sylvia's instigation, they have established the Academy Management Committee. Obviously, they have planned to reform the Academy and no longer let the Great Shaman dominate the world.

However, both Leo, who is a bystander, and Sylvia, who is agitator, are not optimistic about the academy management committee. They believe that failure is the final result. After all, this world values ​​strength. People who are respected as great shamans not only have knowledge, but also have powerful power. Moreover, there are too many hidden secrets in the shaman Academy. How could the forces involved in it allow so many people to discover these secrets?

Therefore, it is conceivable that in the end, these natural shamans who were encouraged by Sylvia would only be asked to disband the management committee if they were lucky. If they were less lucky, they might face expulsion and exile. The worst luck might be sent to the branch in the deep green forest, imprisoned for life, or sent to the secret experimental city to be made into a shamanic creature.

As for Sylvia, who dominated all this, did not incite those natural shamans to transform into academy reformers because of some evil taste. She just used these natural shamans to test the reactions of all parties and collect some information that might be useful in the future.

In addition, in the Shaman Academy, in addition to being the management committee that she used as a way-question gravel and attracted the attention of all forces, she also developed many apprentices with potential to become shaman mentors in the past few days and became the eyes and ears of her monitoring the Shaman Academy. Even if the management committee is dissolved, she can still collect various internal information about the Shaman Academy.

She did this not because she had any hostility to the Shaman Academy, but because she had been a spy in her life as a spy, she had integrated the collection of intelligence and other behaviors into her life. Whenever she came to a strange place, she would instinctively do something conducive to intelligence collection. Otherwise, she would feel extremely uneasy. Just like in the current college exchange team, more than one scholar has secretly expressed his loyalty to Sylvia, and these scholars did not know that there were other people in the team who were also loyal to Sylvia.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the road to the Academic City is long enough and the itinerary takes enough time, with Sylvia's ability to develop the spies from the line, the entire school city exchange team may be developed by her into her own spy.

The next journey of the school city exchange team became much easier because there were not a large number of territorial nobles in the Kingdom of Teresa, like other kingdoms, and it was very difficult to build a kingdom road in their territory. Most of the land in the Kingdom of Teresa belonged to the royal family, so at the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Teresa, Kingdom Avenue was built between the mountains and ridges. By now, Kingdom Avenue has connected cities and towns like a dense spider web, greatly facilitating travelers and caravans from all over the world.

However, some roads have become a little difficult to walk due to disrepair, such as roads near the border, and roads like the Green City to the Academic City are new roads. In addition, both cities have a lot of wealth and can allocate some funds to maintain the road every year. Therefore, this road has been repeatedly repaired to be wide and stable, even seven or eight carriages in parallel are not a problem.

The speed of the communication team traveled much faster due to the road. In just three days, we arrived at Shu Town at the foot of the Academic City.

The Academic City is built in the mountains. In order to prevent students' study and scholars' research from being disturbed by external factors, unless it is a few festivals, it is generally not accepted for foreign visitors. All those visiting the Academic City will be arranged to live in several towns outside the Academic City. When it is open day, it will enter the Academic City. Book Town is a town specially used to receive new students.

Although Shu Town is called a small town, it is actually more like a city. The facilities such as the walls, the army and the municipal government are as short as the departments here. Shu Town has a very single function, which is used to allow new students to experience the life of the academic city in advance.

In the past, new students were unable to adapt to the boring and single life of the academic city, and then dropped out of school and left. There were even some things that could not or dared to drop out of school due to other external factors, and eventually committed suicide due to various psychological reasons. All academic cities built book towns specifically on the periphery to allow new students and scholars to live in the academic city in advance, to see if they can adapt to this kind of life, and then decide whether they want to join the academic city.

In Shuzhen, except for the municipal government used to maintain urban operations and the complete military departments, other urban departments basically copy the academic city.

Students who have arrived in the Academic City must live here as an Academic City for half a year before they can officially join the Academic City.

In addition, new students are not just studying here. They also have to work in the printing workshop in Shu Town for half of their daily life, and their salary after work is the expense of their daily life.

In addition to changing the past living habits of new students, it is more important to allow new students to use the opportunity of working in the printing workshop to get in touch with books from different countries in the world, broaden their horizons, and even deliberately let them get in touch with some banned books, test their bottom line of faith, so as to facilitate the academic city to arrange the learning direction of new students, etc.

The daily maintenance funds of Shu Town came from the Academic City in the early stages of construction. However, in the present, Shu Town not only did not require the Academic City's funding, but instead became one of the sources of the Academic City's funds. Because Shu Town is the largest concentration of printing workshops in the old continent, there are more than 2,000 printing workshops of all sizes in the city, and nearly half of the books in the world are printed and produced here and then transported to other places.

The reason why it has formed such a large scale is that in addition to some external factors in politics and belief, it is more important that the printing of books here can be said to be without taboos. Even the forbidden books on the list of the True God Church, or some heretical scriptures full of evil gods' thoughts, can be printed and published here.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see a man dressed in a obviously cultist driving on the street in a vehicle full of evil deeds, because such people and things happen all the time, and the locals are no longer surprised.

It is precisely because of the importance of Book Town that cultists and heresies who act without any taboos in other places have become honest here, even more honest than ordinary people. Those who cannot suppress their desires do not need to wait for the army in the city to notice the abnormality, and other cultists will take the initiative to erase these hidden dangers that cannot be controlled.

It is precisely for this reason that even though Shuzhen hides all kinds of cultists and heresy, there has never been an evil sacrifice or something like this. Moreover, there are no forces like gangsters in the city, and the security level is almost comparable to that of the holy cities of some True God Churches, which makes those insiders feel quite ironic.

Although foreign scholars like Leo and Sylvia who visit the academic city do not need to stay for half a year like students before they can go to the academic city, it still takes some time to go through the identity procedures and also need to undergo some academic knowledge tests.

However, because Leo and Sylvia have received joint recommendations from more than 20 academic tutors from the Academic City, those tests do not need to be carried out. They only need to wait a few days and wait for the Academic City to complete their identity procedures and then they can go directly to the Academic City, without even waiting for the opening day to arrive.
