[Fenris]
Magnus the Red was pushed off the boat by the wolf cubs.
The moment Magnus's feet touched the hard, cold ground of Fenris,
The Scarlet Sinner shuddered violently as if he had been electrocuted.
Even with both eyes sacrificed, Magnus immediately sensed that something was wrong with the planet.
… This planet… This planet is alive!
For a moment, Magnus felt as if he was stepping on a huge eye that was staring at him.
This is so weird!
The Scarlet Sinner trembled and stood still. The abundant and unfamiliar spiritual energy of Fenris made it difficult for him to move. His neck began to tingle.
Seeing that Magnus had stopped moving, the Space Wolves around him immediately let out threatening snorts.
Not far away on the other side, Wolf King, who had been supervising the transfer of the Red Devil Magnus, spat on the ground.
The wolf king was squatting on the ground, with one hand on the ground and his heel dangling in the air. Beside him, a group of wolf lords were in the same posture. They were squatting in a circle and discussing something.
Russ stood up carelessly, patted the mud off his hands, and walked towards Magnus.
Magnus now wears a collar that suppresses psychic energy. This special collar for Red Devil is much thicker than the collars of ordinary psychics. It almost fills Magnus' entire neck and is so heavy that the Scarlet Sinner has to tilt his head back. Its inward spikes are constantly injecting psychic energy-suppressing drugs into Magnus.
Magnus had identical shackles on his wrists and ankles.
This is also the reason why the Howling Wolves can now transfer Magnus more easily. This damn psyker can no longer use his sorcery that he is so proud of.
At the wolf king's waist, between the thick fur of the gray mane, in addition to the greasy wine glass, there was a dull eyeball that was faintly visible among the wolf's fur.
Leman Russ walked over, spat on the ground again, and casually pulled out his battle axe with one hand.
Magnus,
The wolf king poked Magnus' collar with an axe, trying to make the sinner behave himself. Blood oozed from under the collar.
[You'd better not try to do anything anymore - just be your blind slave. ]
Magnus exclaimed, the Wolf King's words pulled him out of his brief state of clairvoyance.
[Something is wrong here!]
Magnus babbled,
[Here—where is this?! Cadia?! No no no no, where on earth is this?! Wolf King—you didn’t follow the route!]
Without any hesitation, the wolf king kicked Magnus directly. Magnus stumbled forward a few steps and stood up again in the snow.
[—Where is this place? Answer my question, Leman Russ! ]
[Fenris!]
The wolf king roared, striding forward angrily, anger spewing from his mouth. He grabbed Magnus' collar and threw him backwards!
This time Magnus came into close contact with the land of Fenris.
Leman Russ bared his teeth and smiled provocatively.
[Welcome to Fenris, my home planet. Now, I am going to throw you into the darkest and coldest cellar in Fenris! ]
Magnus struggled out of the snow in a panic.
[That's not what I meant. Something is wrong here! We shouldn't be here—]
[Something's wrong here? Are you using your stupid prophecy again?]
In the darkness, Magnus realized with horror that the Wolf King had stopped, and then there was the sound of metal colliding.
Magnus suddenly realized that he shouldn't have done that, but this planet was too weird! Magnus had never seen such a weird place!
This planet - it has an extremely strange psychic vein, but it is different from the flow laws of the warp space! It is independent and has its own set of laws.
In other words, this place is very dangerous for psychics!
If it were the previous Magnus, he would be keen to explore this unknown area, but now he just wants to find a place to stay by himself - he doesn't want anything to happen again!
Magnus trembled, struggling backwards in the snow.
[… No, that’s not what I meant,]
Magnus gritted his teeth and said,
[I just... This place is not friendly to psychics! Wolf King, it just warned me! ]
Russ looked down at Magnus in silence, the battle axe in his hand casting a silver line in the reflection of the wolf moon.
It's like the executioner is measuring something.
Finally, Leman Russ shook himself, and his reckless voice rang out again,
The wolf king bared his teeth and spoke. His voice was magnificent, echoing over the snowy plains of Fenris Asaheim.
Asaheim, the only stable, immovable continent in Fenris.
The wolf king's roar was like an oath. In a trance, Magnus thought that Riemann's words were not shouted at him.
[Listen up! Magnus, you are unarmed and followed me, the king of Fenris, to this continent! ]
[In the snowstorm, you only hope to stay for a short time. As soon as the wind and snow stop, you will leave immediately. ]
[You promise that you will not bring bloodshed - then, according to the law, you will be accepted here, otherwise, their fate will be covered with haze! ]
The wolf king's footsteps rang out unsteadily. He walked up to Magnus and lifted him up from the snow, where he was lying, unable to understand what was happening.
[Magnus, tell me what you promised above.]
Threatening whispers purred,
[I promise!]
Magnus shouted immediately, and strangely enough, at the same moment he said that, the Scarlet Sinner felt the wind blowing on his skin become less cold and biting.
There were too many words in the Wolf King's words that Magnus could not understand, just like the many jargons among the Space Wolves.
As if he sensed something at the same time, the Wolf King heaved a sigh of relief and put Magnus down.
[Respect Fenris, and you can continue to enjoy your prison life.]
Leman Russ snored. When he saw Magnus began to follow the wolf cubs to the dungeon of Wolf Fang Castle obediently again, the Wolf King stood in the cold wind and watched Magnus being escorted.
Loose footsteps sounded from behind the Wolf King, and his Wolf Master and Rune Warlock followed.
[… Am I right? ]
Ruth said, as if talking to himself,
[Unlike that damned Magnus—can I really call myself its king?]
Fenris is a planet composed of violent extreme cold. Except for Asaheim at the pole, all plates will be shattered by volcanoes and the pull of the planet's gravity.
The environment here is just at the limit where people can barely survive.
Even with the leadership of the Primarch, the humans here never truly understood Fenris.
They simply established a crude religion centered around the Soul of Fenris.
And it was on this soil that the Space Wolves' unique think tank, the Rune Priests, was born.
Did I irritate it
Liman was talking to himself. Behind him, the Rune Priest named Broken, Kova, responded to the Wolf King's question.
"You are the king of this land, no doubt about it."
The wolf king looked at his cub.
[But Fenris is more than just the earth.]
Perhaps it was a mistake to bring Magnus to Fenris, but during the ship's stop, the warp wave dealt them a severe blow, and now the ship needed repairs, and he couldn't keep Magnus on board again.
The wolf king shook his head and snorted.
[The Spirit of Fenris is also speaking to me, and I hear it. ]
[Perhaps…]
The wolf king's eyes were fixed on the receding scarlet dot.
The Spirit of Fenris also spoke to Magnus.
The people of Fenris believe that as long as you respect the Spirit of Fenris, act according to the laws of Fenris, and pay your dues, then the Spirit of Fenris will be friendly.
Friendly Warp Entity.
Yay!
