A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees-Chapter 54 - : Intelligence Mystery Lock

Chapter 54: Intelligence Mystery Lock

Translator: Lonelytree

“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.

” As far as I know, there’s an organization called the Withering Order that has its eyes on this place.” He said, “If possible, please tell me more information about them.”

Eli muttered,

“The Witherers gathered together to form the Withering Order. I don’t know the details of this organization, but I know that the Witherers usually don’t appear in big organizations. They often form groups of two or three to carry out destructive actions.

“The Witherers obtain power from destroying the forest. If there were too many people, the power that each Witherer received would be very diluted.

“However, Witherers rarely went solo.

“They would only go deep into the forest alone when they held an evil advancement ritual.”

As he spoke.

His eyes look around for a long time

He gave a very confident answer.

“I don’t think there will be more than four of them. If there are more than four of them, they won’t get any benefits even if they destroy all of your oak trees.

“Also, I’m guessing that the Witherer that’s with her should be around Tier 3, with the highest being Level 12.

“This is because every Tier 4 Witherer is a walking tree plague. There is an unconcealable rotten halo on their bodies. As long as they appear, I can smell them from 200 miles away.” Four Level-12 Witherers?

Matthew was confident.

Seeing Matthew’s thoughtful expression, Eli puffed out his chest proudly.

“You don’t have to worry about this. I told you that I would help you chase away those Witherers. Although I’m only at Tier 3, if we were to fight head-on, even four Witherers combined would definitely not be my match!”

Matthew believed in this word.

The ” Shapeshifter ” route that Eli took was the most powerful branch among the mid-level Druids, not to mention that he had mastered the powerful Ancient Tiger form.

Matthew felt that it might have been the appearance of Eli that delayed the Witherers’ attack.

Otherwise, he and the Witherers would have fought long ago.

“Thank you, Eli. You’ve been a great help.”

Matthew said seriously, “But I’m thinking about how to catch all these

Witherers in one go. After all, we can’t be on the defensive forever.”

Hearing this, Eli showed an expression of agreement. “If you want to draw them out, I can hide in one of the caves nearby. However, there can’t be any undead in there. I can’t stand being in the same cave as zombies or skeletons!” Matthew waved his hand.

“There’s no rush. If they’re really patient, let them continue to observe. During this period, I’ll make sufficient preparations.

“By the way, you seemed to have something to tell me just now?”

Matthew noticed that this was the first time Eli had voluntarily approached his cabin.

As expected.

Eli said seriously, “The food you brought this morning tasted very good. The sausages and bread were unbelievably well cooked, and the cup of milk with honey was equally memorable, so I came to thank you.”

Matthew smiled. “All the credits go to Peggy.”

Eli’s eyes lit up.

Matthew muttered, “Uh, Peggy is indeed a good woman…”

Eli pretended to be reserved and said, “Then, please send my regards to Miss Peggy. Tell her that I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s food. If there’s a chance, I wish to talk to her face to face.”

After saying that.

He swaggered off.

Matthew was left alone, struggling to decide what expression he should show.

In the wooden house.

Matthew examined Soldier’s body.

After going through 28 enhancements.

Soldier’s level had already reached level 12.

The Blade Dancer’s outstanding profession had given him an extremely strong assassination ability.

Matthew speculated that Soldier would become a nightmare for all frail adventurers.

“Just a little bit more! I still have to plant a few more trees! Once he broke through to Tier 4, he would become a more useful companion than Phily.” Matthew gently caressed Soldier’s strong spine.

At this moment, a thin layer of dark red fibres had already grown on the bones in the core area of the chest and spine.

They were tightly attached to the silver-yellow high-quality bones. Under the illumination of the fire, it gave off a mysterious and demonic aura..
