Chapter 127: The sun is setting
The Lasombra clan of the Demon Clan Lasombra is an elegant faller, and the members of it are very happy with it. In them, elegance and cruelty coexist, nobility and decadence coexist. Lasombra are also natural leaders, and they believe they are much better than anyone else in their class.
After the original Brujah leaders betrayed the Anarchs, Lasombra began to lead the Demons. Almost all of the Demon Regents are from Lasombra. They direct (and sometimes whip) the demon party into a force that will not be eased. Lasombra members believe they have power and authority over the Embrace, murder, and frenzy - many Lasombra members ask, if you want to be a vampire, are you afraid of these things?
In addition, most Lasombra members participate in a certain group (pack) and rely on this to increase their power. Unlike Tzimisce, Lasombra doesn't have a disdain for boycotting all humans, but they just find it fun to control those guys on their own. If Lasombra is the heart of the Demon Party, then Tzimisce is the soul of the Demon Party.
They used to be the most powerful of all the clans, but in the struggle against Tremere and the anarchic revolution, they were hit hard. After the revolution, Tzimisce and Lasombra founded the Demon Party.
Tzimisce can change their appearance through abilities, which makes the Bloodlines around them always unsettled. The nickname "Demon King" was given to Tzimisce by the frightened Bloods.
But in fact Tzimisce is the most scholarly of all the Kinds, and most of the members are highly educated. They have a strong thirst for knowledge, and the older members of the Tzimisce are probably some of the most knowledgeable creatures in the world. Tzimisce is as proficient in magic as he is in science, but not as skilled as Tremere. In order to understand the nature of vampires, Tzimisce conducted countless horrific experiments, including humans and other vampires. Neutral ClansGiovanni ClanThe Giovanni clan is perhaps more degrading than positive compared to other clans, and most of its people are entrepreneurs or necromancers.
By playing with the goods and economy of worldly mortals, Giovanni gained great power and wealth. Soon after becoming a vampire, Giovanni's leaders murdered their master and established the clan as they wished.
The Ravnos are travelers and robbers who spread like straw in the wind across the continent. Every country has a trail of Ravnos, but their whereabouts are erratic and come on a whim. They prefer to be alone and prefer to connect with their peers with traces and marks.
The wandering Ravnos are from India and are gypsies; Gypsy (Gypsy; Roma). They are known for their ability to manipulate astonishing illusions. Many vampires persecuted the Revornor because they often caused chaos.
However, the Revonor responded with even more contempt, leaving relations between the two sides at a fever pitch. The Assamite Assamite, from the deserts of the Middle East, is the killer of the Bloodline. Assamite members work for employers who pay them, and the remuneration is usually the blood of the employer.
Once hired, they begin to track the target until they kill them, or they find out that the employer has cheated on them, for example, if the employer tells them that the target is a 9th generation of blood and that it is actually a 6th generation. If a hired Assamite member is killed by the target instead, the Assamite clan will not seek revenge on him, and will not accept any assassination contracts targeting him in the future. Due to their particular background, the beliefs of the Assamite are a mixture of several Middle Eastern religions and vampire mythology. They believe that the only way for vampires to reach heaven is to get as close as possible to the original vampire ('The One'), i.e. to try to reduce the generational gap between themselves and the original vampires.
This is done by sucking (Diablerie) other vampires who are older than you. To justify their actions, Assamite claims that the founder of their clan had stabbed two Gen 2 vampires. For Assamate, sucking the blood of other vampires is like eating communion. Followers of Sets are also commonly referred to as Setites. They face far more suspicion in vampire society than any other clan.
This is because of their beliefs. They believe they originated from Set, the Egyptian god of night and darkness. Originally known as Sutekh, Set was a powerful vampire who arrived in Egypt and was known as the god of night and darkness due to his frequent appearance at night in terrifying forms.
Later Sutekh changed his name to Set and fought against another vampire, Osiris, the god of the underworld of Egypt. The end result was that Set was defeated, his followers were killed, and he himself was exiled. Later he began to cultivate his own power, attracting followers such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, and even Semites. His influence spread from the Spanish mountains to the Black Sea.
However, in 33 A.D., Set suddenly vanished, telling his followers that he would one day return to this world. And the Setites - Set's loyal followers have been working hard to revive the set by shrouding the whole world in darkness. While the Setites believe that Set has been in the world longer than Cain, the other clans believe that Set is actually a Gen 3 vampire who suddenly disappeared to avoid being traumatized during the Millennial Crusade (Jyhad). Regardless, the Setites have been trying to pull the world into darkness to revive Set.
For thousands of years of history, the Cappadocians have been known as the "Dead Clan". In fact, other Kindreds often avoid contact with the Cappadocians due to their sinister interests. Although the mystical qualities of the Cappadocians are intimidating, they have also earned them a lot of respect.
In vampire societies, Cappadocians often act as advisors or princes. Their insight and wisdom are widely admired, while their lack of interest in worldly power gives them trust. for research purposes. Legend has it that the Brujah are a branch of the Cappadocians.
Under the setting sun, Hua Feng and Yun Meng rarely came out to breathe, and the huge ice lake still lay behind the academy. They arrived at the high platform that the college had built on the ground, which was a helicopter platform for the college to communicate with the outside world. Although it is rarely used in normal times, the dozens of high platforms scattered not far from the academy's dungeon have become places where students usually have nothing to do to relax, and at this moment, they are talking in twos and threes.
"Brother Hua Feng, after we finished studying the thirteen clans in the history of vampires this time, I don't know what lessons will be waiting for us in the future, we feel like a year has passed this month, every day in addition to cultivation is class, class, or class. Finally, I waited until the end of the month to have a half-day rest. "Yun Meng hasn't gone out alone with Hua Feng for a long time, and it feels like going back to high school, when they took the college entrance examination.
But, at all times, their hearts are together, just like many similar nights, they also blow the wind and talk like this. This time, Bai Feng didn't come with her, she said that she had to review her recent homework and went to the place alone, when Hua Feng saw it, she wanted to say something, but she didn't open her mouth after all.
"Little dream, we are afraid that we can't expect this, we can only depend on the arrangement of the academy, no matter what, our ultimate goal is the same, we want to become stronger, and become more able to bear the solidity of being the mainstay of this era. Although, it may seem that we have come a long way, in reality, it is not enough. Hua Feng spoke, wearing a white trench coat that swayed lightly in the wind, and the embroidery with the golden wheat ear logo on it shimmered.
"If you could, Brother Hua Feng, would you still choose to take this path?" Yun Meng paused, looked directly into Hua Feng's eyes and asked softly.
Hua Feng retracted his eyes looking into the distance, "Someone always has to go, if we don't go, others will come up, Zhang San doesn't go, Li Si will go." Instead of passively bearing those unknown sufferings, it is better to catch up, and perhaps, we still have time to change something. Hua Feng's voice was resolute and imperceptible to exhaustion.
Yun Meng was silent, just put his hand on Hua Feng's forehead and stroked it.
At this moment, time seems to have stood still, only the afterglow of the sunset and the breeze are left. No one knows how long such a moment will last, but everyone doesn't want this moment to end abruptly one day.
