68. Red Jade Tomb Shuri
Murakan and Quikantel knew the monster’s name.
“I wondered how long it would take, but I didn’t know they would bring something like this. Isn’t that the red tomb of Helluram? I don’t even know how long it’s been since I’ve seen it. Seeing that it’s bigger than the last time I saw it, it looks like it’s been abandoned.”
“…There must be a reason why I couldn’t guess even after hearing that Quikantel and I were Helluram’s monsters. That guy is not a monster, but a spiritual creature. Helluram’s cat, Shuri. It was a famous spiritual creature about 2,000 years ago.”
Red jade tomb Shuri.
Shuri, a spiritual creature that Jin knew as a monster, was a gift from Orgal, the king of monsters, to Heluram.
“It was presented as a kind of vehicle concept. Helluram couldn’t ride a horse. There were limits to flying around with a cane.”
As she said, Shuri didn’t seem to have much objection to carrying someone on her back. Even when he emptied the Gawangju immediately and returned to his colleagues, Jin rode Shuri and moved.
Climbing on Shuri’s back didn’t mean much. Now that I have become my own monster (now I knew it was a spiritual creature), I wanted to try riding it.
Also, people tend to want to be held or ridden when they see a large animal, and that was the case for Jin as well.
[Miyaa.]
“Then why are you talking about red jade cats?”
Jin tilted his head and looked at Shuri. All black fur, white spots and amber eyes. No matter where I looked, the name ‘Jeok-ok’ did not suit me.
“Oh, you haven’t seen this guy’s prison yet? Didn’t he decide to acknowledge you as his new master?”
“I didn’t see it. I just found out your name.”
“Then you’re not the owner of this guy yet.”
“okay?”
Then, Shuri looked around and opened her mouth to spit out something.
It was a red gem the size of half an egg. Even though it had just come out of my mouth, there was not a single drop of saliva on it and it was shining brightly.
“oh.”
“You have to inject your magic into that jewel to become the owner of the Red Jade Tomb. Not just anyone can do it, only the person he gives permission for can inject it.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
[Miyah… ang.]
When Jin glared at her, Shuri averted her gaze. Then, with his forepaw, he pointed to the jade that had fallen to the ground.
Jin smiled and grabbed the red jade.
When the mana was injected, the red jade shone, and at the same time, Shuri’s eyes turned red. It seemed that the red jade and Shuri were resonating for a while due to the connection of magic power.
And an amazing thing happened.
“uh?”
Shuri’s huge body turned into red energy and was sucked into the red jade. Not a single strand of hair was left where Shuri was, as if it hadn’t been there from the beginning.
“Now, lick the red jade. like a cat.”
“…does it have to be?”
Looking to the side, Quikantel was also nodding. The face that said what are you doing without licking it. Jin had no choice but to bring his tongue to the red house.
“With that, the contract ends. Now, if you have the Red Jade, you can summon Shuri at any time. You don’t need a lot of mana like when summoning Tess.”
“I like it very much.”
The way to summon Shuri was simple. It was a form of Shuri popping out of the Red Jade when a very small amount of mana was injected.
Whoops!
When the red jade was stained and confirmed that Shuri was being summoned, Jin seemed to be in a hurry to catch up.
“But why does this guy… feel a bit smaller?”
still had the size. However, it was not to the extent of his massive body, which did not seem to be pushed too far even with his true form, Murakan.
It’s about the size of a wagon. Jin looked at Murakan while touching Shuri’s body, which had become noticeably smaller. It means to explain what happened.
“Red jade tombs vary in size depending on the contractor. Red jade seedlings without an owner or houses are the size of a house, but contracted ones are usually smaller. That way, there will be less problems living with the owner, so it’s a kind of survival method.”
“Oh, congratulations! I don’t know, but didn’t you get a great guy? Following the Butterfly Runcandel, it is also noteworthy that it is a cat…”
“Who is the Butterfly Runkandel? hey shit Why don’t you manage your subordinates properly?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Murakan. Confucius, I might as well take a ride… well, that’s not going to work!”
[Kyaa!]
As Casimir approached, Shuri raised her claws.
“But how do you know Murakan so well?”
“Before, I also signed a contract with Jeokok Myo. It was about 2,000 years ago, but I crossed the rainbow bridge while enjoying my life. Well, even back then it wasn’t a common creature. These are the guys you could meet only if you had a relationship with the Asmodian.”
Murakan’s favorite shapeshifting black cat was modeled after the red jade cat he was with at the time.
Currently, the red jade tomb is virtually extinct after the decline of the demons.
Even though there are almost no related historical materials left in human society, Shuri, the red jade tomb of the witch Heluram, has some fairly detailed descriptions in the information collected by each of the giant powers.
The fact that Shiron was able to figure out Shuri’s identity was only possible because he and the former Dark Knights stole the archives of Ziple.
“Originally, it seems that he was the one left for Sister Luna.”
“Okay. Doesn’t that mean it was reserved for the person who will become the head of the household? It must mean that your father is slowly recognizing you as his successor.”
“There was a royal family related to Shuri. As I drank it, I heard the story my father told the descendants of the fairies… I can see how much he cared for Luna. I never would have imagined that my father had that side of him.”
It really was. It’s Shiron who owes the king’s sake for his children… I still couldn’t believe it even though I personally felt it through the king’s king.
“But in the end Shuri ended up signing a contract with you, right? Not your sister.”
“Even my sister, whom my father loved so much, stopped paying attention the moment she gave up the throne. Even the royal wine that I brewed for my sister at least 20 years ago became my share. I, too, can fly away like that at any time.”
“You are worrying for nothing. Now, how many of your brothers can compete with you?”
“Well, you’ll have to go back to find out.”
Then, when Jin explained about the curse placed on Shuri, Murakan and Quikantel’s expressions darkened.
“Ha, in case it’s not a witch, I put a very dog-like curse on it. It is, as the name suggests, the curse of immortality. A human who made a contract with the moon god and the witch Heluram. It’s a curse that only the two of you can use.”
“It is at least one million humans that are used as catalysts for the curse. I think one of the cataclysms caused by Heluram was a means to put a curse on Shuri.”
“her! Aren’t you a crazy woman even if you’re crazy? Even if he loves his cat, he can use a million humans as catalysts to become immortal? Oh, this jet was a gutter life in Amman, but I never imagined such a bad bitch.”
Then Quikantel shook his head with a heavy expression.
“The curse of immortality is never applied to loved ones. Think about it, how terrible it is to live forever with a body that will not die no matter what you do.”
“There’s no way a witch the size of a helluram wouldn’t know that. If it’s that woman, it’s highly likely that she cursed her with immortality just for fun.”
“Besides, the fact that the curse is still in effect means that Heluram is alive. If Helluram really cared about Shuri, would he have left her in the Black Sea with a curse of immortality? Even cancel the contract.”
“Wow… According to the two dragon masters, the very fact that the witch is still alive is so creepy. Take a look at my forearms here, they all come up.”
[Keying…]
Shuri suddenly lowered her gaze and let out a sad cry. Murakan and Quikantel cleared their throats as if they wanted to hear the sound.
“That… a kid is a million times better than a witch. So don’t be too sad. What if I cry like that? what’s going on I’m sorry so I just stopped…”
“You’re very good. Quikantel did too much this time. Aren’t these stories that could hurt you?”
[Keying King…]
“Whoa Damn it. My mouth was clean. Call Little Tess. That nobleman has been skilled at appeasing spirits since ancient times.”
Roaring!
As soon as Tess was summoned, she saw Shuri and flapped her wings happily.
“Meet the master of the flame world!”
Quekantel bowed politely, but Tess looked at Murakan and Shuriman alternately.
“Oh yeah. It’s been a while. Where did you get this pretty guy from? That’s it little guy… Yeah yeah. sure. I didn’t ring It’s not really me! It’s him, Quikantel!”
Then, for a while, he pecked at Murakan’s head. Quikantel was silent and on her knees, perhaps thanks to that, she was able to avoid Tess’ assault.
[Miya!]
Anyway, Murakan’s story that Tess was good at soothing spirits was true. It must have been the first time I’ve seen it, but Shuri was snugly hugged by Tess’s wings and made a pleasant sound.
It also seemed to communicate. Just as Murakan and Quikantel understood Tess’ will, so did Shuri.
After comforting Shuri for a while, Tess went back to the flame world. It seemed that he hadn’t forgotten to ask Shuri to be nice to Murakan before leaving.
“Tess said she would lift the curse if she brought Shuri directly to the flame world later.”
Quikantel said, wiping away a cold sweat. Tess was still the most feared thing in the world to her.
“That guy seems to be really good at throwing blank checks. By the time the kid is able to go there himself, it would be possible to find Helluram himself and slaughter it.”
[Miyaah-.]
Fortunately, Shuri had the personality to quickly get rid of depression. That’s why he was able to overcome solitude in the forest of the Black Sea alone for over a thousand years, but to Jin it looked even more pitiful.
“Anyway, let’s go back. Let me introduce you to my new family.”
* * *
Thanks to the Shuri, the party was able to get out of the Black Sea several times faster. Thanks to this, lack of food was not a problem.
Of course, when approval came out, Shuri was sent to the red prison and moved normally.
“young master. It would be presumptuous for me to dare to understand the will of the head of the household… but it seems that the head of the house did not dislike Lady Luna’s gentle personality that much.”
Gilly said that as soon as he heard the story about Shuri.
“Why do you think so?”
“I heard that this child is cursed with immortality. Then Lady Luna at that time, who was given guidance as scheduled, couldn’t have killed Shuri, so how could she have made her submit? Didn’t the head of the family see that Lady Luna would be able to take good care of Shuri?”
Judging from Shiron’s benevolent smile that came to mind when he drank Gawangju, it seemed that the story was not completely wrong.
“Well, it’s true that Sister Luna received special treatment in many ways even after giving up her position as head of the household. It could be.”
Jin and Gilly talked about him for a while. I can’t draw a conclusion because I don’t know the inner thoughts of Shiron, but it was quite an interesting topic.
“Oh, and Bocchan. I have something to report.”
“What is it?”
“There has been an unusual trend in compasses lately. A contractor was constantly going back and forth between the Hufester Alliance and an uninhabited island in the North Sea. I found out that the uninhabited island was owned by the Runkandel Guardian Knight’s family.”
“An island owned by the Runkandel Guardian Knight’s family?”
“The Guardian Knight was Joshua. In effect, that means the island is likely Joshua’s.”
