Chapter 96: Space Wolves: There Are No Wolves on Fenris (Part IX)
[On your head is a crown of knowledge made of brass and steel.]
[Accompanied by the whispered prayers of several Iron Priests, a large amount of knowledge about the Space Wolves Chapter was instilled into your mind. ]
[This ancient knowledge not only has words and memories, but also has more images, sounds and emotions. ]
[You seem to have experienced the first establishment of the Space Wolves and the glorious Great Crusade of the Human Empire...]
[You seem to see the young Russ, and the Emperor whose face is blurred and always shrouded in a bright light...]
[You seem to have endured the betrayal from the Primarch Horus, and the heroic sacrifice of those brothers of the Wolf Order who fought to the death for the Imperium...]
[More and more ancient knowledge slowly flows into your sponge-like brain.]
[You, as a young man, continue to absorb and digest this ancient knowledge. ]
[You seem to have met all the past Wolf Lords of the Twelve Great Companies of the Space Wolves, and you also know the secret of the Thirteenth Great Company that disappeared for a long time...]
[You seem to have seen the terrifying alien forces surrounding the infinite territory of the human empire, and the price the human empire needs to pay to barely maintain...]
[Just as you close your eyes tightly and experience the knowledge infusion of the Crown of Knowledge. ]
[Wolf priest Ulric, with a solemn expression, came forward surrounded by faint incense.]
[He will personally wear the power armor for you. ]
[Accompanied by the prayers chanted by the Iron Priests.]
[A set of precision-made power armor that is far more refined and powerful than ordinary power armor slowly covers your body, and continues to fit into the plastic-steel interface. ]
[Until this set of finely crafted power armor with a golden wolf head on the black ceramic steel shell was put on.]
[You gradually wake up from the indoctrination of knowledge. ]
[You subconsciously clenched your hand wrapped in the power armor. ]
[A powerful force far beyond the past and moving at will continues to surge. ]
["Be careful, little cub… You need more training to adapt to the power armor." Wolf Priest Ulrik stopped your reckless behavior. ]
[You carefully walked down the altar of the armor-granting ceremony.]
[You gradually mastered some of the performance of the power armor. ]
[You followed the wolf priest Ulric out of the Chapter Armory called Jotunheim.]
[You passed through the shrines of martyrs belonging to the Space Wolves and walked towards the top of the Fang Fort.]
[Wolf Priest Ulric leads you through the tomb of Harek Ironhelm.]
[This was a great Chapter Master who died in the Battle of the Fang.]
[You subconsciously touch your chest and salute the other person's statue.]
[Your actions have won the admiration of Wolf Priest Ulrik.]
[Finally, under Urik's guidance, you arrived at the brightly lit Wolf Head Hall.]
[As soon as you stepped into the hall, you saw the Unyielding Wolf Coffin standing in front of you.]
[It was a huge ancient dreadnought mecha that was five meters tall. ]
[He is also the sacred and fearless veteran of the Space Wolves, the last of Russ's personal guards, and the oldest alpha wolf - Bjorn 'Broken Claw'. ]
[You stare at Bjorn's gigantic power claw and take a deep breath.]
[You follow the wolf priest Urik's respectful steps and walk forward slowly.]
[You have come before this sacred and fearless machine. ]
[You were about to get down on one knee.]
["Stand up! Don't kneel!" A deep voice full of energy, like the roar of a volcano, came from the sacred fearless mecha and echoed throughout the Wolf Head Hall.]
[Your eyes subconsciously look at Urik standing aside.]
["The old man doesn't like people kneeling down to him…" Urik blinked at you, and his voice, as thin as a mosquito, reached your ears.]
["Ulrik, you little brat! I'm just old, not deaf!" Old man Bjorn's powerful voice once again echoed in the Wolf Head Hall, buzzing.]
[At the same time, a huge metal hand of the Holy Dreadnought mecha pushed away Wolf Priest Urik, who was trying hard to hold back his smile, causing his snow-white beard to tremble constantly.]
[Accompanied by the mechanical rotation sound of the Dreadnought mecha. ]
[An extremely large power claw gently rests on the shoulder of your finely crafted power armor. ]
["Young man… I am Bjorn, an old man who wanted to die but failed." Bjorn's powerful voice came out from inside the Holy Dreadnought.]
[You try to raise your neck and listen to the other person's teachings. ]
["You are good! Very good... The Space Wolves need cubs like you! By the way... did the Wolf King say anything to you when he returned?"]
[Master Bjorn first praised you a few words. ]
[Then, he seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked about the wolf king's situation.]
[You told the other person about your encounter with the Wolf King, without hiding anything.]
[You feel the slight tremor of that gigantic power claw.]
["Haha… The Wolf King really still remembers an old man like me!" Old man Bjorn, who seemed unable to control his excitement, shook your finely crafted power armor slightly.]
[Out of the corner of your eye you see the deep scratches on your brand new, finely crafted power armor.]
[Your pair of blue wolf eyes revealed a hint of pity. ]
["Haha, sorry… little brat!" Bjorn seemed to notice your gaze, and he laughed and released his huge power claws.]
["Logan, you little brat! Come out!" Along with Bjorn's energetic laughter, another tall figure wearing a Terminator power armor walked in quickly. ]
[That is the Father of the Space Wolves' Fangs, the Ancient Wolf, the High King of Fenris, the current Alpha Wolf, Chapter Master Logan Greenam. ]
[You gaze at the other person's slightly shiny bald head and snow-white beard, and quickly bow.]
[You suddenly heard a heavy sound of breaking through the air.]
[You straightened your back instantly, raised your huge hand wrapped in power armor, and firmly grasped the incoming heavy object. ]
[It turned out to be a brand new double-edged power axe. ]
[The axe blade engraved with many runes was shining with cold light. An ice-blue gem was embedded in the center of the double-edged axe, as if it was constantly absorbing the surrounding heat and reflecting cold light.]
["This is a replica of my weapon, the Axe of Mokai. It is also a rare fine weapon... Now it belongs to you." Chapter Master Logan said to you with a gentle expression. ]
["Haha, young bastard! It's not impossible for you to want his Axe of Mokai!" Old man Bjorn laughed and said, "Now, you should think about which company to join!"]
[With Bjorn and Ulrik watching silently.]
[Captain Logan tells you about the categories of the twelve Great Companies.]
[Among them, Ragnar Blackmane, who is still outside the planet Fenris, strongly urges you to join his Blackmane Company. ]
[He thinks the joy of hacking green orcs is enough to attract you.]
[The Great Company of Fenris Champions of Chapter Master Logan himself also looks forward to your joining. ]
[And the other party promised that you will skip the initial stage of Blood Claw and start to be promoted from Gray Hunter. ]
[If you like heavy firepower, join Red Moon...]
[If you like speed and passion, then Sea Wolf Dalian is very welcome...]
[If you like to sneak in, Son of Mokai is waiting for you to join...]
[If you want to simply enjoy the fun of fighting, then Bjorn, who hates hiding and likes to fight head-on, is looking forward to your arrival. ]
[If you like to start from scratch. ]
[The Flame Howl and Iron Wolf, which are currently being rebuilt, welcome your joining. If you perform amazing deeds in the future, you can even quickly grow into their new wolf lord.]
[…The remaining Dragon Slayer, Bloodthirster, Death Wolf, Bloodthirst and many other great companies are also waiting for your choice. ]
[You tightly grasped the unnamed power axe and fell into deep thought.]
[You expressed your apology to everyone in a very rational way.]
[You think you need more training and combat experience. ]
[You rejected the invitation of Chapter Master Logan and the expectations of Master Bjorn.]
[You decide to start as a basic recruit, the Blood Claws, and then choose to join other companies. ]
[Your actions unexpectedly won the praise of Chapter Master Logan.]
[Even the rejected old man Bjorn encouraged your choice and praised you for your wisdom in becoming a qualified wolf lord.]
[You suddenly remembered Lucas who was demoted to Blood Claw. ]
[You proposed to everyone to join the Blood Claw team where Lucas was.]
[Instantly, old man Bjorn's laughter stopped abruptly, Chapter Master Logan stared at you with a strange look, and even Wolf Priest Urik's face, which was holding back his smile, became redder.]
[The next moment, the laughter that shook the entire Wolf Leader Hall broke out violently.]
[Old man Bjorn excitedly waved his huge power claws, and his hearty laughter almost made the Holy Dreadnought mecha tremble.]
[Captain Logan quickly walks up to you.]
[He slapped your finely crafted power armor hard, and you even saw gratitude in his deep eyes.]
[You stare at Wolf Priest Urik, who is almost half-kneeling on the ground and laughing non-stop, and then look at Grandpa Bjorn's Dreadnought.]
[You are lost in thought, like a Fenrisian elk.]
["…What are you all laughing at! We must remain in awe and respect any decision made by this young brother!" Chapter Master Logan tried to maintain a kind expression.]
[You stare at the corners of Chapter Master Logan's mouth trembling slightly.]
[You suddenly realize that you have inadvertently chosen a huge 'trouble'...]
[You have no choice but to accept the temporary promotion of the Chapter Master. ]
[You have successfully become the captain of a Blood Claw team. ]
[You also successfully learned Lucas's widely circulated nickname, which has even become a famous curse on Fenris.]
[May the great liar Lucas deceive you all the time...]
