As Jill was considering whether to share her accidental discovery with the dungeon relocation research team, she suddenly realized other than the credit of the discovery there was another reason for her not to share her accidental discovery with the dungeon relocation research team, it had everything to do with her research and would help her increase the range of the device she had invented.
Everyone believed Jill achieved what their predecessors couldn’t achieve by creating a device that helped card apprentice to see the soul energy vein but only Jill, herself, knew that she was a fake.
The device she created was not based on something new she found but something she borrowed from. The working principle behind Jill’s device was borrowed from the working principle behind the dungeon prevention array formation that the predecessors developed to prevent dungeons from forming in the array formation’s area of effect by stopping the formation of the soul energy vein within it.
When Jill first came across the dungeon prevention array formation created by our predecessors she was in awe of the working principle of the array formation which allowed it to prevent dungeon formation within or near the array by rooting its cause, the soul energy vein formation.
Jill’s interest in the dungeon prevention array was about how the array stopped the soul energy vein from forming within or near it. This led to Jill questioning how the dungeon prevention array defined the soul energy vein. Because only by knowing what a soul energy vein was could the dungeon prevention array stop the soul energy vein from forming within or near it. So what was a soul energy vein in terms of dungeon prevention array formation?
Jill’s curiosity caused her to dig deeper into this question of hers, and she determined that the dungeon prevention array formation was programmed to prevent changes from happening in certain parameters within it and its surroundings.
By preventing changes in these parameters the dungeon prevention array was able to stop the soul energy vein from forming within or near it.
Learning this, Jill decided to use these parameters to check the presence of a soul energy vein in a pre-determined location. Believing that if these parameters could be used by the dungeon prevention array to stop the soul energy vein from forming, then if there were changes in the magnitude of these parameters compared to their regular magnitude in a location it meant that there was a soul energy vein in that location. Using the change in the magnitude of these parameters against their regular magnitudes Jill devised a device to represent the soul energy vein in the area in analog form. The various magnitudes of this analog graph represent the width, length, purity, concentration, etc of the soul energy vein being monitored.
Soon with further research Jill was able to modify her device into the portable orb-type device that she had now.
Yes, Jill did not invent anything new, she only took what the predecessors had already found and interpreted it differently for a different purpose. Yet it was an invention nobody had thought of, so she was not wrong to claim the device as her invention even though the working principle behind it was derived from the dungeon prevention array created by predecessors millennia ago.
As a season array master, Jill had tried everything she could think of to increase the range of the device so that it could monitor the parameters of soul energy vein in a large area but she could not think of it. Jill thought of connecting her device to the dungeon prevention array to increase the range of the device but because of some unknown reason whenever she tried it the whole thing would break apart. Jill knew there was a piece to this puzzle that she was missing and once she got hold of it she could achieve what now looked impossible.
To find that missing puzzle piece she needed to understand the soul energy vein further than what the predecessors defined it as to help with the dungeon prevention array’s working.
But that was not possible as the soul energy vein starts in the world’s will and ends in the world, and vanishes after the creation of the dungeon. So it was physically impossible for Jill to conduct further studies on the soul energy vein. This was the reason why the predecessors and researchers to follow them were unable to outdo the dungeon prevention array in the field of dungeon research.
Arriving at the dead end in the field of dungeon research that all researchers before her arrived at Jill felt despair they felt. But everything changed when she accidentally discovered that the dungeon relocation apparatus was creating an artificial soul energy vein in the process of dungeon relocation.
If she were to understand how and why the dungeon relocation apparatus was able to create an artificial soul energy vein then she could find the piece of the puzzle she was missing to carry on with her research.
This was the other reason why Jill did not want to share her accidental discovery with the dungeon relocation team. With so many senior researchers in the dungeon relocation team, it would be long before it was her turn to carry on studies on the artificial soul energy vein created by the dungeon relocation apparatus in the dungeon relocation process.
So Jill thought that it would be in the best interest of her research if she were to keep her accidental discovery to herself. Allowing her to study the artificial soul energy vein formation separately and deduce the piece she was missing to complete her machine such that it could no longer be the device for experimental purposes but a device with real-world implementations.
Over a year of her study on artificial soul energy veins, Jill had made so much more progress than the progress she had made in the last few decades since she announced her invention to the world.
Though her progress was huge it was not nearly enough to help with improving the range of her device but Jill had a feeling that it would not be long before she found the piece she was missing.
