From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

Only when they were far away did Hannah ask:

"How do you two feel about this place?"

"...We don't seem to be very popular." Ai'er said.

"It feels... a bit disgusting." Coco muttered softly.

"After all, I was the one who brought you in." Hannah smiled slightly. "If it was Lord Yarti, he might have quarreled with someone here right on the spot. So, it's best not to try to communicate with them."

"And... it was even more boring than I expected." Ai'er added, "I hardly saw anyone."

"After all, people's hearts have long since turned away from this place." Hannah said, "...this side."

She pushed open the door to the building.

Everywhere you look, there are rows and rows of stacked bookshelves.

The guard was sleeping against the table and got up drowsily when he heard someone come in.

Hannah gave the other person a look, and the other person immediately bowed, stood up and left.

Before leaving, he looked at Ai'er and her group with some doubts, but he didn't seem to be planning to pursue the matter.

"This is the library. In addition to the collection of magic and literature and history books, it also includes various text archives."

Hannah led the two of them upstairs and said:

"Lord Yarti is a special adviser to the royal cabinet. He has dealt with many matters related to national security, but he has not been involved in them recently. Thanks to this, I have also collected a lot of information that may be useful...even things that have nothing to do with national security."

On the table were piles of heavy books and texts.

"The records of several unusual events from a while ago are all sorted here." Hannah said, "Please be sure to take a look first."

206. World Difference

Ai'er picked up one of the records and glanced through it hastily.

Date, time, location, static image paper record. Then there is a summary of the event and the parties involved:

"… On the 672st day of the sixth month in the year 21. Natata village. … The birds and animals scattered, and then a loud noise came from the southwest. About meters southwest, a huge pit with a diameter of about meters appeared on the ground. The trees were all in a prostrate position. …"

"… On the 672th day of the 17th month of the year . In the woods southeast of Kara City… a tunnel appeared on the cliff at a height of meters, and was meters deep…"

"… On the third day of the second month of the year 673. At Yishan River Port… there was a sudden explosion in the air, and the sky was filled with strange colors. The surging air waves stirred up the tide, and the ships were overturned…"

Ai'er read through several volumes and couldn't help but frowned.

"Like, an unusual natural phenomenon."

"It's not difficult to do it using magic, but the suspicious point is that there is no magic formula or magic power left at the scene." Hannah said, "... unless physical means are used. The dwarves' magic machinery may leave no trace, but other things - such as the sudden explosion in the air and the sky, cannot be done by simple physical means."

Not magic, not physics.

It is not a natural phenomenon either.

"...Laws." Ai'er muttered to himself.

"...Yes. The most likely possibility is the most direct [concepts] and [laws]." Hannah said: "Without using magic or sorcery as an intermediary, it is directly caused by pure concepts or laws that connect the world. Such an ability... There is no other answer except [God]."

God would not beat around the bush and do such boring things.

All traces lead to that "ownerless artifact".

Ai'er understood why Yaerti was so confident about the existence of the artifact.

"This information may not be complete, but it can guarantee that the information we have collected is at least the most among those who are about to fight for this artifact. However, it will be difficult to move on, and we don't know the connection between these events yet..."

Hannah looked straight at Ai'er with a smile on her face: "Elf. What do you think about this?"

Ai'er knew that this was not just a question to her. It seemed more like a test - to confirm for her master the level of her ally.

Al thought for a while. Hannah just watched quietly.

Finally, Ai'er spoke:

"If we want to find the common points of these events... we should first understand what kind of [law] causes such abnormal phenomena. If we compare it to natural phenomena... for example, the traces of the collapse of this pit - it's as if there was nothing there originally."

"But the noise happened right then, and the cavity is not a remnant of what happened before. If it was a simple collapse, it wouldn't have caused such a commotion."

"The energy source of the vibration without the participation of magic is one of the doubts. Another more important doubt is - if this pit did not exist originally, then where did the soil originally buried here go?" Ai'er pointed to another file record:

"The same is true for this tunnel. Even magic cannot make matter disappear out of thin air. Instead, without the influence of magic, it follows the principle of equivalence of energy and mass. So where did the original stones in the tunnel go?"

excess energy.

Disappearing matter.

As Ai'er spoke, she had some guesses in her mind.

"Very perceptive. It seems that you have already got the answer."

The most likely one is the transformation of energy and mass under the law.

In a state where energy and mass are conserved, matter that carries these two properties will not disappear.

If matter lacking energy is not in this world... it must have gone to some other place.

"【Low-harmony world】." Ai'er muttered to himself.

The world is not uniform.

They are big, small, fast, and slow.

If a world is built based on this world, most of it will continue the world medium of this world, and perhaps the only difference will be in size.

Such a world is called a [simultaneous world] - or a [parallel world in time].

But in the [Low-harmony World], time is shorter.

If you take a short nap in the low-harmony world, you may have spent several days in this world.

[HighPhi World] is the opposite.

Almost no one can construct a world with a "combination difference". The huge energy difference caused by the friction between the media of different worlds may cause the structure of the weaker world to collapse in an instant - or both sides will suffer losses.

Except God.

Ai'er said in a loud voice: "The other party used the energy generated by the material exchange of the difference world to guide different phases. Then the disappeared matter was pulled into the [low-concord world]... and that [low-concord world] is likely our target."

Ai'er said, "Next, we just need to measure the mass and energy difference before and after each phase difference to calculate the world difference. This way, we can get one of the five parameters that may be needed for the world coordinates - and this is the most important one."

There was a brief silence.

There was scattered applause in the room.

"Excellent," Hannah said. "With such limited clues and in such a short time, a reasonable guess was made. As expected, Lord Yaerti's vision was correct."

Ai'er breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had passed this woman's test for the time being.

After all, his reputation as a theoretical genius was not earned casually.

Finally, it’s my turn to help Lily - Ai’er thought again.

"The coordinates of the other party's [world] require at least five parameters because of the difference in combination - but it is likely to be more complicated than that. Considering the uncertainty of the difference in combination and the inhomogeneity of the medium, the parameters may not even be constants, and the number may also vary. So after discussing with Master Yalti, we believe that the focus should not be on 'where the other party is', but on 'what information the other party wants to convey'. Of course, the [difference in combination] is also a very important breakthrough point - the other party does not seem to want to find a magic novice, but rather someone with certain strength."

Hannah said, "Lord Yarti is not confident in his 'strength', so although he was somewhat resistant to me before, it was expected that he would find an ally in the end."

Ai'er was a little dazed... strength? The dragon that casually signed a contract with her didn't seem to be interested in her magic strength...

Maybe I'm just thinking...participation is what matters...or something?

"The other side is the mass difference we calculated before and the energy overflow we estimated." Hannah took out another document from the cabinet: "You can also take a look at this."

Ai'er glanced over and simply calculated in her mind, and couldn't help but frowned: "...the difference between the sum of the different anomalies is quite large."

As mentioned before, they are not a constant.

There is no trend either.

"This is just an estimate of the energy obtained through description. But in fact... it is likely to be more than this." Hannah said: "We still don't know what the energy in these visions is used for. Description alone is not enough."

"Yes," said Al.

"…We have to catch it in the act."

207. Out-of-phase coordinates

"The difficulty lies in not knowing the rules between these different phases."

Hannah said, "Lady Yarti and I have made some speculations before, listing the spatial and temporal coordinates of various event points. But there is generally no trace to be found. In other words, we don't know where or when the next anomaly will occur."

Hannah flipped through the pages. "First, we did a linear fit of the space and time coordinates, then a coordinate fit after unified space modification, and then a fit without relative time units. But no matter it was linear, planar, or spatial, there was no intuitive result. The results have been listed here. The zero point of the height coordinates uniformly uses the world space coordinate plane, and the distance error of the coordinate center of mass will not exceed five, so the impact on the results can be ignored. Although there are some ideas later, it may be fruitless if we put them into practice one by one. Lord Yaerti intuitively feels that we are on the wrong path."

Ai'er did some calculations based on the above data and methods, and the results were generally correct.

Ai'er suddenly remembered something.

“…Instead of correlating these data…how about looking directly for the relationships within them?”

Hannah frowned. "The amount of data in a single group is small to begin with. It's hard to find a connection without a reference. Moreover, even if there is a connection between these data...it's hard to know where the next anomaly will occur."

"But the other party doesn't require us to take in every piece of information - there is probably no one else as comprehensive as us." Ai'er remembered what Yaerti said before and said, "If it wants someone to find it... maybe just passing by once or twice is enough."

"There is more information hidden in each anomaly. Our goal at this stage is not to find it, but to find where the next anomaly will appear. The more information we consider, the more accurate the result will be."

But Ai Er still felt that it was difficult to get a conclusion from the data if she delved too deeply into it. Perhaps, as Yaerti and the others had said before, they had taken a detour.

The other party shouldn't set up too many difficult puzzles.

Ai'er tried, but still had no idea.

"...If I were to stand in the other person's shoes..." Ai'er suddenly thought of something:

"The spatial coordinate modification system - which one do you use?"

"Now this...you mean--" Hannah couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"This modification system for teleportation coordinates was first used a thousand years ago, when the last war between gods ended." Ai'er said, "If this ownerless artifact is from an earlier era than that... then which modification system should it use?"

Hannah immediately realized the most important issue she had overlooked.
