Jared watched as Juliet fiddled with the formation plate. Despite her movements being rather unsure, her operation was flawless.
Moreover, this formation plate was indeed remarkable. When it was activated, it was as if a curtain of light fell from the sky. Following that, the light radiated out, revealing the hidden arcane array around. Subsequently, the arcane array was infiltrated by the light, creating a crack.
Around the crack, a considerable amount of spiritual energy was circulating. This energy was what would be used to close the crack later.
“All right, we can sneak in now!”
Juliet packed up the formation plate and walked through the crack.
Upon witnessing this, Jared followed her. In no time, the crack slowly closed up, and then it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Watching the arcane array revert to normal, a slight smile appeared on Jared’s face.
Rohan had given the formation plate to Juliet, but he had also been the one to set up the arcane array here.
In a fortunate coincidence, the formation plate could effortlessly break through the arcane array without causing any damage to it!
Even a fool could see that Rohan had done it on purpose!
From this, it seemed that Rohan was also inclined toward Gael’s faction; he just couldn’t openly take sides!
“How about that? Impressive formation plate, isn’t it? I also stumbled upon the fact that it could break through these arcane arrays. There are a lot of arcane arrays up ahead, so don’t go running off on your own. Stay close behind me!” Juliet said to Jared.
“Got it!” After Jared had spoken, he moved directly behind Juliet, his body almost pressed against her back.
“What are you doing?”
Juliet paused for a moment, then turned around to give Jared a stern look.
“Juliet, didn’t you ask me to stick close to you? I’m afraid that if I stray too far, I might accidentally trigger the arcane arrays and cause trouble,” Jared hurriedly explained.
“Even so, you don’t have to get so close, you know. You’re practically on top of me. It’ll be fine if you just stay a step away!”
Juliet rolled her eyes at him.
Jared quickly nodded, playing the part of an innocent novice, allowing Juliet to order him around.
Technically, if they were to measure based on the understanding and control of arcane arrays, then even Rohan fell short compared to Jared!
Jared could see through these few arcane arrays at just one glance.
However, Jared was unable to infiltrate the arcane arrays without making a sound. His only choice was to break through them.
Upon seeing Jared’s compliance, Juliet finally turned back with satisfaction, quietly continuing forward.
When the two of them reached an archway, they could see four guards standing rigidly in the distance.
Upon seeing the guards, Jared whispered, “Juliet, there are people guarding his room. How are we supposed to get in?”
“Don’t worry, I have a solution!”
As Juliet spoke, she pulled out two copper plates, each only the size of a palm. Intricately carved onto the surface of these plates were cloaking formations!
“I have two cloaking formation plates here. I’ll explain how to use it shortly, then you can use it to conceal yourself and go in. Whatever you do, don’t panic. If you let your guard down and reveal any signs of aura, you’ll be discovered. If you get caught, it’s going to be a real mess, and I won’t be able to sneak in here anymore,” Juliet warned Jared earnestly.
“Did Mr. Cunningham also give you these?” Jared asked curiously.
“That’s right!” Juliet nodded. “I often sneak out to play using this cloaking formation plate. Many people haven’t seen me, and they probably think I’m always holed up in the mansion. I’d die of boredom if that were the case!”
When Jared took the cloaking formation plate, he became even more certain that Rohan had to be part of Gael’s faction, or at the very least, he was leaning toward their side.
Otherwise, why would he have given Juliet so many formation plates?
Although these formation plates weren’t particularly high-level, in a place like the Ethereal Realm, each one was incredibly expensive!
Even the simplest items, like the communication devices, were worth a fortune, let alone formation plates!
Juliet meticulously taught Jared how to use the formation plate.
