Desmund spoke as if he were reciting, and circles of light that represented a contract and celebration twinkled around the three of them.
“Now then, complete the ceremony for the formation genie to recognise its master!”
Desmund pointed at the metallic pillar in the center of the room. “Press your palm on it. The formation genie will automatically record the aura of your spirit and give you authority.”
Caesar nodded, and then placed his palm on the surface of the metal pillar, closing his eyes and seemingly communicating with a body of consciousness.
Moments later, while beaming with admiration, he withdrew his hand.
“Your turn!” Leylin nodded and also placed his hand on the pillar.
The surface of the metallic pillar was very glossy, and there was a strange feeling when he touched it. It was very soft, as if it were not metal, but rather cotton.
It was also different from the iciness of metal. The surface of this pillar gave Leylin a rather warm feeling.
“Recording spiritual aura! Conferring an authority of seven stars!”
A robotic female voice sounded in Leylin’s mind. It was different from the A.I. Chip’s genderless voice, and was instead a crisp feminine voice.
“Is this a formation genie?”
Leylin was a little rueful. Whether science or magic, when it came down to it, there were basically different means to achieve the same end.
However, this formation genie obviously did not have any intelligence, and could only robotically answer Leylin’s queries.
Communication with this conscious was quick, and in a quick ten seconds, Leylin was able to largely grasp what his authority extended to, and the function of the formation genie.
This formation genie was the core of all the defensive spell formations that the Four Seasons Garden had set up. Through the formation genie, one could easily check any single region.
However, this spell formation had previously been heavily interfered with by the dark Magi, which resulted in the unexpectedness of the attack this time.
As for the limits of his authority, this referred to how much manpower he could command. The chain of command consisted of a total of nine stars, with one having the least authority, and nine commanding the most. Leylin currently had a ranking of seven stars, and was therefore capable of dispatching most of the defensive forces in the Four Seasons Garden to besiege anybody, as well as having access to all available information, save a few top secret documents.
In the past, Reynold had had nine stars, and was capable of ordering the formation genie to self-destruct!
Leylin, Wade and Caesar were merely granted seven stars temporarily to deal with this emergency.
