chapter 370
370 – Scene 370# Magic Attribute
*
The cat librarians who were guarding the library jumped out as if they had been struck by lightning due to Myohail and I’s sudden visit. It didn’t take long for everyone, from the lowest-ranking librarian to the staff librarian, to appear in front of us and inspect us. It felt as if the Minister of National Defense and the commander had made an unexpected visit.
“Don’t worry about us, let’s all be comfortable.”
“Yes! If you need anything, please let me know! Even if it’s a book that isn’t here, I will definitely find it and bring it to you!”
Myo Ha-il spoke with a kind smile, but the staff-level librarians did not look good. He must have been very nervous at the thought that he had become lazy while Myo Ha-il was away.
But Myohail and I did not reprimand them. After all, we only came here to read books.
Myohail, who had barely bitten the staff librarians, asked me.
“But Count, why are you suddenly trying to find a book about ‘magic power’?”
“We are trying to find a way to supply magic power to places where magic power does not exist.”
I succeeded in building a bridge between the two worlds with the gate, but there was one major problem left.
It’s ‘magic attribute.’
In this world, magic power is as common as air, but in the other world, that is, in the real world, magic power does not exist. To be precise, magical power may exist, but there is no way to obtain it.
In preparation for the upcoming invasion of players, I also thought about a way to invade the real world first with a weapon called magic. However, magical power was an obstacle.
The moment they go through the gate to the outside world, the people of this world become unable to generate magical power within their bodies. It might be a little better if you bring an object containing magical power, but it is only a temporary solution. Even if you have a built-in battery and an external battery, if you don’t have a charger, you will quickly run out of power.
When her magic power runs out, even if she is the strongest in the world, Helga becomes an ordinary woman. Therefore, I was planning to find a way to supply magic power from the outside world, just in case.
Although I have acquired all kinds of knowledge here through ‘greed’, there is still a lot I am lacking. The reason I brought Myohail along while he was lounging around in the mansion was to make up for my shortcomings with the experience and knowledge of a wise man.
“If there is no magic… Are you talking beyond the gate?”
“Okay.”
“But you want to use magic there? The magic power within the body is enough, so why bother?”
“Other people do not have vast magical power like you. If possible, I want to make it possible to replenish magical power just as much beyond the gate as here.”
“Hmm…”
Myohail smoothed the cat’s whiskers and looked at my face
“I don’t think they’re just saying it because they can freely use magic. Count. Be honest. “Isn’t there something else on your mind?”
As a wise man who has lived for a long time, he is quick to notice in times like this. Even so, he couldn’t reveal the fact that he was preparing for an invasion by players.
“Myohail. Isn’t there such a thing as what if?”
I opened my mouth, pretending to be serious.
“The fact that we can go to the other world through the gate… In other words, wouldn’t it be possible to come to this world from the other world through something similar to a gate?”
“Hmm… “Yes, that could be possible.”
Myo Ha-il, who saw Korea with his own eyes through the gate, asked me many questions. And soon he understood.
A civilization more advanced than this world. And about the dangers of that advanced civilization. Above all, I was even more surprised that Korea was not the only country at this level.
So he will understand what I am saying.
“If that happens, the safety of this world cannot be guaranteed.”
“… Those who covet our world may invade through the gate… “Is this what you mean?”
“Okay. “I want to be prepared for that.”
When fighting players, magic is the only means of combat. In addition, now that the gate has been created, it is impossible to know which part of the two worlds will be the battlefield. I wanted to prepare for the worst.
I didn’t tell Myohail about the players, but he understood my intentions.
“Are you trying to find the answer in knowledge? Now that I think about it, is that why you brought me here? “Because you want to borrow my knowledge?”
“Maybe it’s because you know the library well, but I can’t say no. However, rather than just getting advice from you, I plan to find out on my own. “Knowledge can only be used when it is completely mine.”
“Haha… Are you going to become a student? Then this old man will have no choice but to help.”
Myo Ha-il lifted his finger, and several books were pulled out from a long row of bookshelfs. And like butterflies, they started to pile up on the desk in front of me.
“First, we should start with the nature of magical power. Are you ready to learn? Count.”
“As much as you want.”
The opportunity to learn 1:1 from a wise person is rare. Knowing that, I smiled with a ‘greedy’ face for knowledge.

“Assistant Sehee Park.”
“I’m a secretary, not an assistant manager.”
“Oh, look at my mind. Secretary Park. “Do I look very drunk right now?”
“Yes. “A lot.”
Park Se-hee sighed as she looked at Director Choi Jae-man, whose face was full of intoxication.
For office workers, weekends are a sweet break. Among them, Saturday weekend night is definitely a golden time.
But why is he doing this at such a golden time?
The place she came to was an expensive bar located in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. I was also annoyed when Director Choi Jae-man contacted me on a weekend night…
“Director Choi Jae-man. Are you sure you emptied this all by yourself?”
“Ah, I emptied it alone.”
Park Se-hee sighed when she saw the table littered with empty drinking glasses. She is not a drunkard. She came to such an expensive bar and was so drunk that she couldn’t come to her senses.
“It’s not a compliment. How on earth were you going to get home?”
“Under…” ! Secretary Park is there, so what are you worried about? Why don’t you give me a little more support than that? “I can’t get up.”
“No, I do not want. “It smells like alcohol.”
I feel annoyed. In fact, when Director Choi Jae-man called, I thought about just ignoring him, but I couldn’t.
The reason she became his secretary was to dig up confidential information about CEO Park and the company. It was difficult now to lose the trust of Director Choi Jae-man.
‘Even so…’
No one likes having to answer their boss’s call on a weekend night.
“No way. Instead of doing that, why don’t you help me up?”
“In order to help you, you try to touch me in a strange way.”
“He’s heartless.”
Director Choi Jae-man, a lecher who loves women, often got scolded for touching Park Se-hee’s buttocks.
In the end, Director Choi Jae-man stumbled and got up from her seat on her own her her her.
“Still, I only have Secretary Park. “My previous secretaries didn’t show up even when I called them on the weekends.”
“Isn’t that natural?”
“Uh huh. “It wasn’t natural to me.”
“Now is not the time.”
It has been about three weeks since Se-hee Park joined Director Jae-man Choi as his secretary. Director Choi Jae-man’s tendency as understood so far was as follows.
Director Choi Jae-man enjoyed quite a bit of luxury. He favored luxury goods and would often send Park Se-hee on errands to buy new products at luxury stores.
I rarely ate at work and always went to expensive restaurants in 5-star hotels in the city.
Like a person who is anxious to spend money.
I wondered if it was because Director Choi Jae-man embezzled his company’s money, but seeing as he paid for everything with his personal card, it didn’t seem like that was the case. In fact, if you were using company cards or public funds too openly, it would have been obvious long ago.
If I had to criticize him… He was not a self-made man or a wealthy man, but rather a man who had been born and lived in a wealthy environment from the beginning. He had a poor sense of money and his way of thinking seemed far removed from that of ordinary people.
‘What kind of life have I been living?’
He was curious, but he didn’t bother to dig into it. What Park Se-hee was curious about was not about him, but only about CEO Park Jun-hyuk and Jung Ji-hwan’s siblings.
Director Choi Jae-man finished paying with the card he gave him and came out of the store. Park Se-hee drove the foreign car he parked and spoke to director Choi Jae-man, who was crouching in front of the store.
“Now, get in.”
“Tsk… “Shouldn’t the secretary open the door?”
“Just get on it before it goes away.”
Director Choi Jae-man finally got on despite grumbling.
While he was thinking that he should quickly pick him up and go home, the signal turned red.
Passing the crosswalk was a close-knit family consisting of a mother, father, and two daughters.
“Secretary Park, is your family healthy?”
“Yes?”
I received an unexpected question from Director Choi Jae-man.
“I think I’m just doing well… ?”
“I see.”
“So, Director Choi, are your family healthy?”
“I don’t have one.”
“Yes? “No?”
“I don’t have any family.”
A blunt answer came back. I wasn’t curious. I’m just asking the same question. I wasn’t interested in other people’s family history, especially Choi Jae-man’s family history, but after hearing that answer, I felt embarrassed.
“Ah… Hmm. “I’m sorry.”
“That’s it. “I brought up the story first.”
“I thought of it because it was a family, but I’ve hardly ever heard of CEO Park’s family. As far as I know, he said he had a pretty daughter…”
The reason Park Se-hee went out of her way to talk about CEO Park was to divert her words, but she also wanted to get information about CEO Park from Director Choi Jae-man.
However, Director Choi Jae-man, who heard Park Se-hee’s words, looked embarrassed for the first time.
“CEO Park, that guy is so pitiful…”
“Yes?”
“Because I lost my beloved daughters in an accident.”
Even though her signal she turned green, Park Se-hee was so shocked that she couldn’t start.
