Chapter 843: The appearance of the Nazgûl
Sheyan took a look around with Melody The old guide followed along and would occasionally point out spots where famous historical battles had occured Sheyan was shocked to discover that as s had fallen at a place as small as Weathertop It was also a place both the Middle Earth alliance and the Dark Lord faction have been clashi+ng over for several hundred years! Numerous warriors met their death in this land No wonder there were evil spirits here
Once the caravan's ani themselves out, they would need 2-3 hours to completely recover their staain, they would face ainjured That hy any caravan that reached Weathertop after 12 o'clock at noon would usually stay here for the night It would already be 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon after the beasts regain their strength They wouldn't be able to travel much further this day
Suddenly, a worker from the caravan rushed over and shouted in alarm
”This is bad! Our pack horses ild and ran away!”
The old guide was horrified and immediately rushed back Under such circu could continue their sight-seeing tour, so they hurried back as well They discovered the resting place of the packing horses in a cooods had been tra trail of blood was left on the ground
They asked around and found out that the trail of blood was left by a worker who tried to pacify one of the raging horses He pulled on its reins, only to be dragged for 7-8 meters before he hit a boulder His injury may be fatal
The pack horses had been ta time They had always displayed a o berserk all of a sudden The boss of the caravan, Goots, was at the foot of Weathertop looking after the other half of the caravan goods, so it was left to the old guide to take charge The situation was chaotic Some of the workers went after the horses, sooods
Sheyan felt that there was no way the pack horses would go
wild for no reason He contemplated for a while and placed his suspicions on the food consuht by the caravan themselves so they should have no proble The water looked cool and clear, and didn't seem to be poisoned More importantly, the people drank the water too but they were all fine
Thatspots of the packhorses The workers taking care of the horses had led therasses there were relatively ether with Sheyan As soon as she got near, she told Sheyan that the place round seemed to contain a certain madness
Sheyan's brows furrohen he inspected the spot grazed by the packhorses He found the soil to be fresh He i hard at the spot Under Sheyan's furious digging, a hole quickly e hand!
The other caravan workers ran over with horrified expressions In total, Sheyan dug up 16 corpses! Half of these corpses hadn't even started rotting yet The caravan workers easily identified them as members of other caravans They had feasted with theo!
A feeling of i caravan uide approached the corpses with a solemn look and inspected the bodies with not a care for the horrible stench they emitted After a while, he spoke
”They all have cuts on their bodies, but they have the same cause of death - poison! The poison in the bodies seeped into the soil, and into the grass growing on the soil When the horses grazed on this grass, it caused theuide at least calmed the caravan members down They approached slowly and saw for theed with black, and their expressions showed they struggled in pain when they died It really did look like a death fro the caravans on Middle Earth The e and ability What they were afraid of was the ainst When they found out that the corpses ained their courage
Sheyan reuide's opinion At thatpack horses back The rest of the caravan workers went over to help However, the old guide walked over to Sheyan with his brows furrowed and spoke to Sheyan as if he had souide was evidently thanking Sheyan for not exposing some of the untruthfulness in his words Sheyan exhaled a deep breath, and said
”If we don't leave iuide's face was pale He wasn't lying when he said that the people they dug up had died froet poisoned? Normally, it would either be because they consumed the poison, or the weapons that cut them were coated with poison Unfortunately those were not the cause of their poisoning The real cause was because they breathed in poisonous gas!
If Sheyan remeûls, the 'Black Breath' According to the records kept by the Elves, The Nazgûls' arsenal of deadly armaments was not confined to physical eneral aura of terror which can spread fear in the hearts of living creatures (except for so ones), and their breath (called the Black Breath) could be toxic to those hapless enough to come near them
Those that have been touched by the Black Breath will fall into an state of helplessness and experience endless nightmare and hallucination It could even cause death Only a type of herb called athelas could fight the symptom
It seemed like the attack on Gandalf the Grey at Weathertop was not a coincidence The Dark Lord ic location and had begun to move his pieces He probably wanted to hide an army of undead here to strike at Rhudaur, Cardolan and The shi+re at crucial moments!
Goots had received news and rushed back When he heard what they had to say, he said decisively
