Chapter 126: 124: Faith determines stance, authority determines friends and enemies
After hearing Maria's words, Sui did not answer in a hurry, but smiled and stretched out his hand to invite her to sit down.

Emma brought three cups of milk tea.

"Please use."

Maria nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then took another sip and said to Emma:

"That's really good tea, thank you, little girl."

Su Yi looked at Maria's appearance and smiled in his heart: "So that's how it is."

After drinking three sips of milk tea in a row, Maria looked at Su Yi and said, "Don't you have anything to say, sir?"

Su Yi laughed: "How about this tea?"

Maria nodded and said, "It's fragrant and delicious, refreshing."

"This is the first time I've tried adding milk to tea. It tastes wonderful."

Su Yi nodded slightly and got to the point: "I'm a little curious, why did the lady suddenly change her mind?"

Maria leaned back in her chair, lifted up her long black silk legs and said:

"We, the Sword of Judgment, just don't want to be flexible, but we are not fools."

"Anyone with a brain that doesn't grow on his feet should know that if I want to copy your method of entering the fog, I need money and supplies."

"Thermal explosion bombs, the price of one shell is 200 Urobuchi coins, and you used more than 4000 shells at once!"

"Let's not even talk about whether we are qualified to buy these shells from you."

“Even if we could buy it, it’s beyond our organization’s budget.”

"Your actions at that time undoubtedly served two purposes."

"One is to show that you are very rich, and the other is to show that we cannot replicate your plan to enter the fog at all."

"If we don't figure out how to work together, I won't be qualified to lead the team anymore."

At this point, Maria couldn't help but complain: "Is your company's budget so sufficient?"

"In order to bring us over to discuss cooperation, you spent more than 80 Urobyshev coins?"

Su Yi paused and smiled, "These basic supplies are not included in the budget."

“This is necessary support from the company for this operation.”

Maria fell into deep silence after hearing this.

The total budget for their operation this time was only 100 million Urobuchi coins.

This little amount of money is not even as much as the necessary supplies given by others.

In order to save money, they suffered a lot on this trip.

The delicious steaks and cakes that could be eaten inside the planet before are all gone, replaced by handfuls of nutritious beans.

The delicious juice is gone and it has become vitamin water.

As Maria sipped the fragrant milk tea, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

During the past half month on my trip to Rhodes Star, I felt like I had said goodbye to this good tea for a year!

The company is really not a thing.

But... he's really rich!
Sui looked at Maria, who was silent at this moment with a hint of envy in her eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Of course, he would not say that the cost price of this kind of thermal explosion bomb within the company is only 20 Uzumaki coins.

Not to mention that they are all inventory products with excess production capacity.

Otherwise, with the level of this operation, it would be impossible to get so many supplies.

At the same time, after this meeting, Sui could be completely sure that he had grasped the pain points of these people.

Not enough budget!

From the way Maria sipped her tea reluctantly, it was clear that their budget was so tight that they had to tamper with the food.

This was not surprising to Sue.

Today, 99% of organizations in the entire Shanhe Star Region are short of money.

There are only two groups that are not short of money: the Black Sun Group and the Shadow Legion.

Because these two are the only organizations that can master short-distance dark universe jumps within the Shanhe Star Region.

But it is different from the Black Sun Group who likes money.

The Shadow Legion is a Chaos-side force that believes in the Shadow King. The cost of their transition is population, that is, flesh, blood, and soul.

This is something that many organizations cannot tolerate.

Thinking of this, Sui Yi finally determined a way to control these foreign organizations.

Because this goes back to what Sue does best: drawing the pie and dividing the cake.

Su Yi then said, "You are so frank, aren't you afraid that I will deceive you?"

Maria said casually: "Although the people in the company are not very moral, they are trustworthy in terms of credit."

"Although we, the Sword of Judgment, hate you, it is undeniable that you and I are still allies and we have common interests."

"We all desire order. Companies need to gain profits in order, and we seek fairness in order."

"You need to use our Sword of Judgment's law enforcers to maintain your market system and reduce your production costs."

"We need your waterways and resources to create a new order and balance."

As she spoke, Maria took another sip of the hot tea in her hand.

“Faith determines one’s stance, and authority determines one’s friends and enemies.”

"This year alone, the company and the Sword of Judgment have carried out two joint large-scale operations, killing a vanguard wanderer of the Life Devourer and thwarting a planet-level sacrifice plan of the Shadow Legion."

"We have great differences, but maintaining order in the Shanhe Star Region is our common goal."

Su Yi nodded slightly: "I agree with your point of view."

Faith determines your stance, and authority determines your friends and enemies.

This sentence is the most concise and clear summary of the current cosmic camp.

The powers of the gods are intertwined, the weak desire to become stronger, and the strong hope to be strong forever.

Whether it is gods or believers, this is an instinct that cannot be changed.

When gods choose authority, the rules of authority have already determined their future path.

The gods that humans follow determine whether they tend toward order, neutrality, or chaos.

When you choose authority, authority also controls you.

The authority of the Lord of Wild Fire is destined to make Him embrace chaos.

The destination of authority as the eternal balance of equality and balance can only be order.

The divine authority has already determined enemies and friends at birth.

Even gods in the same camp fight and devour each other.

The most typical ones are the Joyful Twins and the Lord of Evolution.

Both of them are on the neutral side, and their positions are compatible with both order and chaos.

For example, the spiritual and lustful factions of the Sisterhood of Pleasure.

For example, there are primitive sacrificial sects and Beast King clans that worship the Lord of Evolution.

But as both are neutral, the Joyful Twins have been hunting down the Lord of Evolution, hoping to devour His reproductive authority.

The original priestly sect looked down on the spiritualists, believing that they were shirking their responsibilities.

The Yuxiu faction takes destroying and teasing the wild beasts of the Beast King clan as their pleasure and mission.

There is no power intertwined between the Black Ash Goddess and the Eternal Balance.

This does not mean that the two sides will become good friends.

But it can be guaranteed that the two sides will not become mortal enemies.

Just as the two were talking, there was another knock on the door.

Emma hurried over to open the door, and immediately a hint of nervousness appeared.

Sui turned her head and saw Mochaka staring at Emma with dissatisfaction and vigilance on his face, and his whole body was in a state of stress.

Emma's face was also cold, she clenched her fists and stood on guard. Similar authority was filled with hostility and desire.

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

The moment Mochaka met her, she knew that this was a joyous sorceress!

And Emma naturally knew that this guy was a believer of the Lord of Evolution.

Because the Gemini Blessing made her restless, just like a cat seeing a mouse.

"Emma, ​​don't be rude to the guests." Su Yi's voice rang out.

After hearing this, Emma gradually calmed down, lowered her head and made way.

Mochaka did not disguise himself and came very openly.

He walked in with a wary look on his face and looked at Su Yi: "It's rare for a company manager to have two female sorcerers."

Su Yi stood up and laughed, "They are all miserable people, I will help them if I can."

"Please take a seat."

Mochaka sat down indifferently, then pushed aside the milk tea that Emma prepared for her.

"I'm sorry, but my sect's principles are much stronger than the company's."

Then, Mochaka stared at Su Yi and said, "Although I heard that the company covers everything, I didn't expect it to be so extensive."

"Your Excellency, do you think that the massacres of pleasure creatures on Rhodes Star in recent years were just a few major riots caused by them?"

After a pause, Mokaka said, "Goddess Black Ash also has the power to give birth."

Su Yi laughed: "So, we can sit at the same negotiation table, right?"

Mochaka said nothing more after hearing this.

Considering the size of the Black Ash Goddess, there is not much difference between their original priest sect and the Sisterhood of Pleasure.

Mokaka looked at Su Yi and said, "No wonder Director Gehros came to L17 at such a young age. His skills are indeed extraordinary."

Although he hated the Sorceress of Pleasure, he had no choice now.

Su Yi has thoroughly understood their pain points.

Then he turned to look at Maria: "Your Excellency the Judge seems to be very anxious as well."

Maria said calmly: "This has nothing to do with His Excellency the Priest."

During the afternoon meeting, when Mokaka chose to go out with Sui, the rift between them was irreparable.

Su Yi smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It seems that there will be no other guests today."

"Then we can get to the point."

"To show my sincerity, I can tell you some of the information I know first."

The two then set their sights on Su Yi.

Su Yi said: "First, there are a large number of metal bone-eating beetle larvae in the fog, which is also the reason why the advance team died tragically."

"Metallic Bone-Eating Beetle!?"

Hearing this, the two of them changed their expressions.

Especially Mokaka's expression was extremely ugly: "Didn't all these guys die in the last great destruction?"

The primitive priest sect advocates harmonious coexistence between man and nature, opposes urbanization, opposes industrial pollution, and advocates everything that conforms to nature.

And when they are fulfilling their mission, what they fear most is this legendary thing.

Because they have no ability to deal with these things.

Maria murmured to herself: "No wonder that damn guy is hiding here."

Su Yi then said, "Okay, it's your turn now."

"Please answer the four questions I asked this afternoon."

"First of all, who gave you the news?"

Mokaka said: "Lantern Bearer, we also received the invitation letter from the Lantern Bearer."

Su Yi frowned: "The lantern bearer who follows the Mist Sage?"

Maria was a little surprised: "It's really unexpected that a little L17 knows so much?"

Mokaka said: "Recently, we encountered a dark cosmic storm while jumping at the same time, and it was the Lantern Man who led me out."

"And in return, he allowed us to come here and eliminate the disaster here."

Maria continued, "We were also given a list and intelligence."

"They said there was something we needed in it, and it was an extra reward for me completing the mission."

Su Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's not the Puppet Shadow Temple."

The Lantern Man is a force with a strong presence yet a low profile.

Their main activity area is in the dark universe.

With the power of the Mist Sage, they were able to figure out a way to travel through the dark universe even in the raging dark universe that had been raging for five thousand years.

Despite having such power, they have little interest in the real universe.

People generally regard them as beacons and saviors in the dark universe.

They are a group of neutral forces with a good reputation, strong strength, and mystery, but they don't have much presence in the real world.

Su Yi nodded: "Second question, why are you here?"

Mokaka looked at Maria, who casually said, "I'm done."

Mochaka then said: "The lantern bearer told me that there is an ancient artifact here that can restrain the metal bone-eating beetles."

“It can help us prevent problems before they happen in future actions.”

Su Yi nodded: "The third question, what did you encounter on the way here?"

Maria said bluntly: "There is nothing that cannot be said."

"We were attacked by an unknown force. The main target was our electronic systems. Since we did not prepare enough spare parts, many power armors were paralyzed."

"That's why I'm willing to form an alliance with you. I need heavy firepower support."

"We didn't encounter any problems on the way here," Mokaka said.

"It was just a brief exchange of fire with the Cage Pirates we ran into."

Su Yi stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

Maria continued, "It's your turn."

Sue came to her senses and said, "The one who attacked me was a tall figure with four arms."

"There are two abilities. One is that it can use the power of reproduction to quickly catalyze the transformation of metallic bone-eating beetle larvae into adults."

"That's how they ate all my power armor."

"Another is to master a certain kind of magnetic force that can manipulate various metal structures."

Hearing this, Maria stood up suddenly: "It is indeed him! The Four-Armed Lord, Candis."

"He is our target this time!"

Mokaka's expression was uncertain: "I've heard of this person."

"Level 29, a cyborg with three kinds of gifts."

"It is said that his four arms contain four kinds of power, and his methods are extremely terrifying."

Su Yi asked directly: "One last question, what is your relationship with the Holy Body Sect?"

When they heard the words "Holy Body Sect", their faces changed slightly.

Because in the Shanhe star region, the Holy Body Sect has been extinct for thousands of years.

If they didn't know the situation here through special intelligence, they wouldn't have any idea who the other party was.

Maria said, "I have nothing to do with them. The lantern bearer gave us a list."

"Said the people on the list could help me."
