buffer for the vampires living further east and the tsar, who was susceptible to their influence. - Fortunately, I did not have these problems. The libraries of the south may not be as vast as those in the Old World or the imperial ones, but they contain unique works. It was in one of these libraries that I came across Nikos of Itea's book on dragons. A very interesting work, by the way, described in detail and seemingly verified by dragon medics. The author devoted a great deal of space to the Dorientann syndrome, which may be puzzling. He had no particular reason to focus on this condition. At least not apparently.- The count rose from his seat and began to pace, keeping at least one eye on Darius the entire time. - While researching Nikos of Itea's biography more thoroughly, I came across manuscripts of several of his works: two dissertations on the First Northern War and the original text on dwarf diseases and fragments concerning orcs. Something strange caught my eye... -Bleist sincerely wanted to get to the point, but he felt that Veson's argument was leading somewhere.- Everywhere, the word persis appears in reference to a certain person. In the sense that he told something, advised something, and so on.- The man waved his hand. - Everyone assumed that these were distorted terms from Persian originating from Greek. I didn't like that explanation. - He stopped and turned abruptly towards Darius. - You see, colonel, everything was written in the vampire dialect, only this one word was supposed to come from Greek. Of course, the author came from Itea in central Greece, he could have collaborated with, or even learned from, a Persian sage, but something still didn't sit right with me. I began to dig deeper.- He waved his hand around. - My linguistic research led me to an interesting conclusion. Namely, persis, or rather persi, comes from a language discovered in the ruins of a vampire city in a northern Siberian enclave. It means “elder”, but in texts from the local temple it appeared in the context of titans. It is widely known that documented appearances of these immortal beings were very rare.- The count returned to the table and leaned heavily on the tabletop. In his eyes, Bleist saw a spark of madness, of losing himself in the phenomenon he was studying. A study that had clearly gone in the wrong direction. - If this is not about a Persian, let alone a titan, then who is this elder? It took me a long time to figure this out. - Darius watched Aesir, trying not to lose track of the thread. - I have two very plausible theories. First, the older man is a druid from the Allenvien Circle. Given the breadth of his knowledge, this would make perfect sense, especially since these druids were able to directly transfer knowledge and memories to each other. It is possible that he was the last representative of this Circle, although it was officially dissolved in the 13th century.- The count rose from the table and briskly approached the desk by the armchair, leaned over and took out some notes. - My second theory is that Persis is a minor local deity powerful enough to manifest itself in the mortal world. It could have accumulated knowledge over the centuries and later shared it with a willing listener or even a follower. Such cases have happened before. Unfortunately, this is the more likely theory.- The man shook his head sadly.
