"Eli? I was just looking for you."
Matthew quickly threw this small annoyance to the back of his mind.
He said to Eli, "You mentioned before that you once confronted a Witherer in the forest?"
Eli nodded solemnly.
"Quinna, that's her name. Quinna was once an outstanding human Druid, but she was abandoned by the Nature Soul after failing three advancement rituals.
"As a result, she became resentful and angry at nature and turned against nature.
"She joined the Witherers as you know it."
There were still some things he did not say.
In recent years, more and more Druids had turned into witherers.
This was a bad sign.
"The Druids are defecting at an accelerated rate while a Necromancer is busy planting trees. This world is really crazy."
This was what Eli was thinking.
Matthew nodded slightly.
