C1254 A Boorish Man
After Sanjuzalo heard it, he was confused. There was nothing unusual in his tone. It was totally different from what he had expected.
Although he could not rule out the possibility of the other party's superb acting skills and the fact that the other party was on the other side of the phone, even Sanzhu Zarro, who was especially good at reading people's hearts, could not discover this possibility.
However, if it were someone else, Sandalor might have such doubts, he would be very experienced in dealing with this person. He was a typical boorish person. He was forthright, righteous, and very brave. He had a very high prestige in the outer circle of the Church of the Red Shirt.
However, in terms of schemes and schemes, it had nothing to do with this boorish fellow at all. Therefore, it was definitely not that Old Ghost Zha's acting skills were superb.
After mulling it over for a moment, Sang Guzala decided that he might as well call Old Ghost Zha over and ask him directly.
Old Ghost Zha readily agreed on the other end of the phone and indicated that he would leave immediately.
"Why do I feel that something is not quite right?"
After hanging up the phone, Sandalor frowned. Old Ghost Zha's behavior really made him unable to understand.
This person should be fine, but he did have a letter with Red Sparrow. Moreover, the person who sent the letter killed a few people on night duty. This meant that there must be something fishy going on.
But if there was something wrong with Old Ghost Zha, he had been very calm from the beginning to the end, as if nothing had happened.
After some consideration, Sanzhu Zarro decided to not care about it for now. He would wait for Old Ghost Zha to arrive first.
In order to prevent Old Ghost Zaza from running away if something really happened to him, he might jump over the wall in desperation. He immediately sent out two groups of people, one to seal off the entrance of the valley. The other team ambushed Old Ghost Zaza while he was on his way here, secretly monitoring his every move.
But soon, Sanzhu Zarro discovered that his operation was in vain, because not long after, Old Ghost Za rushed to the main hall alone. He did not bring along his two followers, because the order given by Sandalor was to meet him alone.
"Ghost Zaar greets the Sect Leader. May I know what instructions the Sect Leader has for me to come in the middle of the night?"
After Old Ghost Zha walked into the great hall, he first knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Sang Zhuzalo, then respectfully said.
"Get up and speak."
Sandalou gestured for the old man to get up. Then, he stared at the old man and sized him up for a while. He found that Old Ghost Zaar's expression was natural and his limbs were relaxed. He did not show any signs of panic or guilt.
"How have you been recently?"
Sanzhu Zarro slowed down his tone and prepared to investigate the situation bit by bit.
Old Ghost Zarro was a rough person, so when he spoke to Sanzhu Zarro, he was very straightforward. He directly said, "Reporting to the leader, our Ghost Zaar Tribe has not been doing very well recently."
"The main reason is that the few villages around us are too poor. Even if we cut them alive, they won't be able to get much profit."
"All of our expenses now depend on the yearly hunting week to support us. If this continues, we won't even be able to fill our stomachs."
"Sect Leader, can you see if we can add a few more hunting weeks every year? One hunting week is not enough at all!"
Old Ghost Zha opened his mouth and spat out bitter water.
As an outer sect influence of the Red Shirt Sect, the Red Shirt Sect would definitely not spend money to support them. They would make them self-sufficient.
However, in order to avoid any more trouble, they had set many rules and regulations that restricted them. They had divided an area among these outer sect influences, and only allowed them to move within this area.
However, this area was a land of bitter cold. How could those scattered villages possibly be rich? They would not be able to squeeze out even a few drops of profit even if they were repeatedly squeezed.
Old Ghost Zha was famous for his fierceness and ferociousness, and he didn't have the commercial brains of the other outer circle forces. He had made quite a few trades with the outside world, but all of them had lost their money.
There were even quite a few times where he had caused quite a commotion, and he had almost caused a disaster.
Therefore, he had no choice but to continue doing what he was best at, and solve the problem with force.
However, the Red Shirt Church had very strict restrictions on them. Every year, they only had a week's time, and they were allowed to 'hunt' outside.1
Old Ghost Za was fierce and ruthless. Every time he went out, he would bring disaster to the outside world. He would be able to plunder a large amount of wealth. In a year, he would not lose out to those outer sect forces who mainly relied on trade.
However, Old Ghost Zaar's life was extremely extravagant. It was not an exaggeration to say that he spent money like dirt.
Therefore, he had always been thinking about whether he could have a few more hunting weeks every year. He had also applied for it a few times in front of him, but it was rejected every time.
Sang-Zhu Zha Luo was not a boor. If this sort of Hunting Week was too frequent, it would definitely cause trouble, so he had never mentioned it again.
This time, when Old Ghost Za heard that Sandalo had taken the initiative to ask him about the recent situation, he definitely could not let go of this opportunity. He once again mentioned this matter to Sandalo.
After saying this, Old Ghost Zaar looked at Sanzhu Zarro with a look of anticipation, hoping that the other party would agree this time.
However, Sandalor did not express his stance. He just quietly stared at Old Ghost Zaar's eyes and did not make a sound.
Old Ghost Zaar felt that the other party was definitely considering, so he could only wait patiently.
However, Old Ghost Za did not know that the main point this time was not the Hunting Week. When Sandalor spoke, his eyes had been carefully observing every detail of the other party.
However, he still did not discover any clues.
Could it be that he had thought too much?
After mulling it over for a moment, he decided to probe further. He said to Old Ghost Zha. " Let's not talk about that for now. Oh right, isn't your relationship with the Red Sparrow quite good? "
"This... Forgive me for being blunt, but I don't have any interactions with the Holy Maiden normally. The Holy Maiden seems to look down on us and avoid us. There's no need to talk about friendship."
Old Ghost Zha was indeed a straightforward person, and every word he said was the truth.
Sanzhu Zarro asked again, "But I heard that she wrote you a letter?"
After he asked this question, the expressions of the red-clothed upper echelons immediately became gloomy, and killing intent shot out from their eyes.
This question could be considered getting straight to the point. They were just waiting for Old Ghost Zha to give an answer!
However, Old Ghost Zha's thick nerves still did not discover any abnormalities at this moment. He answered very frankly, "Yes, it was said on the phone just now."
Sanzhu Zaar continued to remain calm and collected. "What did you write in your heart?"
As he spoke, Sandalor stared straight into the other party's eyes.
This could be considered to have asked the core question. Old Ghost Za would definitely give himself away!
But Old Ghost Za's expression and gaze were still very indifferent as he replied, "Actually, there is nothing at all. It is just some greetings and casual words."
Seeing Sanzhu Zha Luo's expression of disbelief, Old Ghost Zha took the initiative to take out the letter from his bosom and said, "I have brought the letter. Sect Leader, please take a look."
When Sanzhu Za Luo saw that the other party was so proactive, he immediately did not show any expression and got someone to bring the letter over.
After receiving the letter, Sanzhu Zarro did not hurry to open it. Instead, he first looked at the contents of the letter.
His gaze fell on the blood-red lotus pattern. It was the exclusive mark of the Saintess of the Church of Red Shirt. Moreover, he could tell that the blood-red lotus was indeed made by the red sparrow, eliminating the possibility of someone impersonating it.
