The next several hours were spent with Emery carefully following the priestess's guidance as she taught him how to activate the Star Plaque. She explained each step in detail, showing him how to channel his energy through the artifact and activate the intricate runes embedded within it.
With the Mark of Divinity, Emery could clearly see that the Star Plaque contained a total of sixty-eight restrictions. It was a top-grade Tier 7 artifact, a true treasure by any standard.
Under normal circumstances, understanding and refining all those restrictions could take months or even years. Yet, with the priestess's guidance, Emery managed to gain access to forty-two of them within just a few hours, giving him a basic understanding of the relic's structure and how to control it.
It was an astonishing level of progress, one that would have been nearly impossible without the priestess personally guiding him through the process.
Versa gave him a faint smile.
