The system handed me over to the state.

If that's the case, how will they locate Moss's location?

"So... your world encountered a randomly opened spatial rift? Hmm... that's interesting. Generally speaking, space is very stable, and it's impossible for a natural spatial rift to appear except for human intervention. Indeed, different worlds have different spatial rules."

Bronya turned to look at Karin, who was studying a document, and continued, "So, do you have any clues? Could this be a random teleportation portal?"

Karin twirled her long black hair with her fingers, shaking her head in confusion. "I don't know. This phenomenon has never occurred in our world before. And to be honest, I should be the first person on our continent to come into contact with humans from another world."

"Besides... our world seems quite different from yours..."

"Not the same?"

"Well, your world is a planet, um... a circle. As long as you keep walking, you will eventually return to the starting point. But we are different. We only have a few continents. The end of the world is a void space. If you cross it, you will die."

"Hmm...yes! That's it. In your words, your planet is round, while our world is flat!"

Bronya's expression was slightly strange. The flat Earth theory was considered heresy on Earth, but it had actually come true in other worlds.

Have you ever tried flying over your own head?

"We've tried it. The dragons that flew up were instantly pulverized into minced meat and blood the moment they touched the boundary. In addition, our space is extremely stable. Although spatial magic can open passages to other continents, it cannot open passages to other worlds or the outside world."

"Therefore, we suspect that our world is a prison world, or a closed world, and that we are all descendants of prisoners, or beings who are trapped inside and unable to get out. We either slowly pass on our heritage inside until we run out of resources and are wiped out, or we fight each other for resources and all die inside."

It sounds like a strange world, and there seems to be a lot of fighting, but Bronya doesn't want to worry about it anymore. Black Seele and Fu Hua staying inside the base should be enough to ensure that the base won't be attacked by Mebius. Besides, this unexpected connection to a magical world is also a bit of a surprise.

It's worth noting that the Parallel Worlds Department recently began attempting to make contact with Shenzhou in the Pacific Rim world, as well as with Shenzhou, which previously had dragon ruins.

Now, a completely new magical alternate world has been added to our side, which probably doubles the workload.

The main task now is to determine whether Moss and Karin's world are the same place. If they are different worlds, it will be almost impossible for them to find Moss. However, if they are in the same world, it will be much easier.

"Miss Karin, if our people end up in your world, do you have any methods to quickly locate them? Like magic or something?"

In that world, there are no signal base stations or satellites like in China. Even if Moss carries a positioning signal transmitter, the signal range is limited. Therefore, they need a way to quickly determine Moss's location.

"Hmm... I can ask my best friend for help. She's a prophetic magician, and she's best at prophetic magic. She should be able to predict whether your people are still in the world."

Bronya nodded; this was good news, too.

A few minutes later, orders came down from above, demanding that Moss's whereabouts be found at all costs, and preferably the remains of the other missing team members as well.

Bronya then looked at Karin and said, "Well then, Miss Karin, take me to your best friend. I'll leave the rest to your best friend. As for the payment, we'll pay as requested."

"Hehe, that's good, I can't wait."

Karin became extremely interested after seeing the space research manual that Bronya gave her. As a magician, and the essence of a magician is curiosity and exploration, she was naturally eager to explore new things.

Moreover, this was a completely new world, a world even more vast than her own. Naturally, she was extremely interested and very excited to be able to escape from that boring and rigid world.

The spatial passage had been fully established and stabilized. Bronya and Karin passed through the passage together. During this process, Bronya noticed that Karin had no protection whatsoever and had not cast any magic before entering the passage.

Bronya could withstand it with her own body, but... how did Karin do it?

Let's ask again after we get there.

The spatial passage is very short, which shows that the two worlds are actually very close. The closer the worlds are, the longer the time it takes to travel through the spatial passage between them.

After settling in, Bronya looked around. It was a room with a very scholarly atmosphere; all the furniture was wooden, and there were many books. The spatial rift was located directly behind the desk. If Karin were sitting at the desk, then the rift would indeed have opened behind her...

"Miss Karin, may I ask you a question?"

"sure!"

"How did you manage to traverse the spatial passage without any protection?"

Karin frowned. "Doing nothing? Oh! I see! It's the difference between worlds! That's right, people in our world, even ordinary civilians, don't need any protection when passing through space tunnels. We've become accustomed to it."

"But according to you, the inside of the space tunnel is very dangerous, hmm... it must be due to the difference in physical fitness between humans in different worlds."

Bronya nodded. It must be a matter of differences among different people in the world.

Walking to the window, Bronya looked out at the lush forest and countless houses hanging from the giant tree trunks. She blinked. "Elves?"

"Hey! Do elves exist in your world too?"

Karin showed great interest upon hearing Bronya's mutterings, but Bronya shook her head, "They're just products of novels and comics. There are no elves in our world."

"Oh, what a pity! Elves are such a wonderful race! They're big, round, and have great figures, golden hair, and incredibly beautiful faces. They're also so gentle, hehe!"

Bronya blinked. This... death mage seemed completely unconcerned about exposing her fantasies to outsiders?

Chapter 390: Hanging Oneself from a Southeast Branch

"Swell! Open the door for me!"

Hearing Karin's loud knocking... no, banging on the door, Bronya felt embarrassed. Seeing the surprised looks from the other elves around her, Bronya felt a little ashamed.

So he spoke up to remind them, "Keep it down! Don't you even see how the people around you are looking at you?"

She might not care about her own people in this world, but this is another world, and with elves at that. What if this gets brought up in diplomacy later?

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open, and a blonde female elf stood in the doorway, immediately launching into a tirade of insults at Karin.

"Kalin, you old bastard! Do you want me to hang you on the World Tree for another seven days and seven nights? Believe me or not, I'll hang you on the southeast branch right now!"

"Damn it! I guarantee that all the flowers and plants you've been growing will die the day I come down!"

"You dare! If you do that, you can forget about ever entering the Elf Empire again!"

Seeing the two locked in a fierce confrontation, Bronya didn't step forward to stop them. Instead, she carefully observed the elven woman before her. She was very beautiful, with blonde hair, a large mouth, a slender figure, and a pert bottom.

A form-fitting gold-green dress perfectly accentuated her figure, and... Bronya felt an unusual attraction to her green eyes. If someone's mental focus wasn't strong enough, they might easily be drawn to her eyes.

Bronya waited silently until the two had finished arguing before stepping forward and saying, "Hello, Miss Swell."

The anger on Swell's face vanished instantly, replaced by a sweet and charming smile. Her eyes were filled with gentle laughter, and she transformed almost instantly from a furious woman into a kind and lovely elf older sister.

"Hello, stranger, is there anything I can help you with?"

This sudden change left Bronya momentarily stunned. This...this change of expression was too fast! Even Peking Opera face-changing isn't this fast!

At this moment, Karin was frantically winking at Bronya from behind Swell, and then Swell turned around and slapped Karin across the chest, sending Karin spinning several times before she fell to the ground.

Swell continued to smile and stare at Bronya, who then slowly said, "I hope you can help me find someone. I just need to know if she exists in your world."

"Oh, so you're looking for someone? That's my specialty. Please come in."

Swell warmly invited Bronya into the room. Karin originally wanted to follow behind, but the moment she entered, Swell kicked her out.

"Get out of here! You're not welcome in my room, you death mage!"

Karin rubbed her bottom and stood up. "Hmph! What's with the attitude? They're just some flowers and plants! Oh well, never mind, time to go back and research new things!"

The thought of that knowledge from another world right in front of me, and such a great research opportunity, makes me wonder why I shouldn't take the time to study it.

Bronya, who had followed Svir into the room, sat down on the other side of the table at Svir's gesture. Looking at the decorations in the room, Bronya asked with interest, "Are these branches from the tree that supports this house?"

"No, these are branches of the World Tree. Because I am a prophet, prophecies can only proceed smoothly if the World Tree exists. Therefore, every prophet guides the branches of the World Tree to the place where they most frequently make prophecies through special means."

"Come on, show me who you're looking for."

Bronya handed over the prepared materials to Swell, which included Moss's basic information and a full-body photo. She hoped that this prophet from another world might actually have some extraordinary abilities.

"Hmm... Such detailed information. It seems you came prepared. That's good. The more detailed the information, the easier it is for me to find the person you need."

Swell reached out, and a branch of the World Tree beside her wrapped around her wrist. Swell grasped the branch, closed her eyes, and Bronya, out of curiosity, took out her goggles to scan. She discovered that there was an energy flowing between the branch and Swell in an exchange-like manner.

Is the so-called prophecy actually an exchange of energy, or... information, with this being called the World Tree?

This is Bronya's opinion; the actual outcome will depend on whether Swell's prophecy comes true.

Time passed slowly, and Bronya was slightly puzzled. Did it really take this long? And other people's prophecies involved all sorts of rituals and language, while Svir was just sitting and communicating with the World Tree?

Another half hour passed, and the branches wrapped around Swell's wrist loosened. Swell said with a slightly eerie look, "Your friend... is indeed in this world, but the place she's in isn't good."

“You can tell me the location, and I can assure you that there is no place in the world that can threaten me.”

Bronya's confidence silenced Swell, but under Bronya's questioning gaze, Swell slowly said, "Then you might... be unable to do it. The place where your friend is is the most mysterious place on this continent."

"The Remaining Tower is the most mysterious place on the Three Zen Continent. No one has ever been able to enter it. Apart from seeing a tall tower, no one knows what is inside."

"Legend has it that the truth of the world is preserved there, and that a colossal and terrifying creator guards it. Some even say that there is a passage to other worlds there."

"There are many different opinions, but without exception, no one has ever gone inside."

"I don't know how your friend got in there, but it's a miracle she's still alive."

Bronya frowned slightly. "You don't seem surprised at all. According to you, no one has ever entered the Tower of Remains, and now she's inside, which is equivalent to breaking through your understanding of the Tower of Remains."

Swell simply smiled and said, "Indeed, perhaps it's because I'm a prophet that I've become accustomed to things that defy common sense."

"What do you think, you visitor from another world?"

Bronya wasn't surprised at all. She hadn't hidden her identity, her clothes, the language difference that Karin could detect, and most importantly, the documents she handed over—the words on the papers, the photos—none of which could be found in the other world.

If Svir can't even guess this, Bronya will start to doubt Svir's abilities.

How do I get to the remaining tower?

"It's very simple. The remaining tower is located on the continent of the Elf Kingdom. You can find it by asking anyone for directions."

Bronya nodded. "Thank you for your help. We will give you appropriate compensation once we find her."

Swell crossed his arms and rested his chin on them. "I'm looking forward to it."

Chapter 391: The Remaining Tower

"The intelligence has been uploaded. The location where Moss is located is called the Tower of Remnants by the people of the Three Zen Continent. After I finished my meeting with Svir, I sought out other elves and asked them about their impressions of the Tower of Remnants."

"Most people answered with things like mystery or inaccessibility. A few told me about possible legends, but they didn't offer any real help."

"No one mentioned how to enter, or what method might be available to enter the remaining tower."

Bronya put down her tablet and turned off her goggles. "Old Yu, what's our next step?"

On the other end, Lao Yu's expression was equally solemn. This matter was very troublesome... extremely troublesome. If there was really no way to enter, then they would also be unable to enter. As for opening up a spatial passage, spatial magic was widely used in other worlds, and the methods they could think of, the other side must have tried as well.

"What kind of place do you think... the Remaining Tower really is?"

Old Yu was a bit clueless and could only try to find a breakthrough from other places. In response, Bronya pondered and replied, "Since it is a remnant tower, I think... it is most likely a region left behind by a certain era or civilization."
