Chapter 545 Hidden Secrets_3

Next, this ancestor met a scholar from another region.

He called himself Dominique, a scholar studying mysticism, who was here to research the local customs and legends. Initially, the ancestor was curious about his research and corresponded regularly with him, but later he began to notice some issues with this scholar named Dominique.

In simple terms, Dominique wrote to him, expressing his desire to investigate the legends in the remote mountains. However, in the following letter, Dominique expressed a certain fear, claiming "something has been stalking me." At the time, the ancestor had doubts about Dominique's experience and decided to visit the scholar's residence.

He found Dominique lying in a chair, looking gravely ill. The scholar claimed to have caught a cold in the mountains and asked the ancestor to help retrieve some items that he had lost there. The ancestor agreed without suspicion.
