Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Things haven't been going well for Carina lately.

This is mainly because the business of the Little Fireball platform has not been very ideal recently.

And there is no way to solve this undesirable situation.

When fighting, you should hoard gold if possible; when in troubled times, you should hoard gold. It is an eternal consensus that no one has the time to tinker with second-hand small commodities at this time.

So it's not just her that's suffering now. All businesses are having a hard time except those selling hard currency necessities.

This made her feel less upset.

The plight of our peers is always inspiring.

But in general, the vast majority of businessmen did not benefit from the war. Karina and the businessmen she knew all eagerly hoped that the war would end as soon as possible.

And they clearly supported the victory of the coalition led by the Kingdom of Sutton.

As a relatively successful and well-informed businessman who has been rich for several generations, Karina naturally knows much more about the Roman Empire than ordinary people.

She doesn't understand the complicated political issues.

But there is one thing she is very clear about. If the Roman Empire wins in the end, their merchant group will probably not have a good ending.

The era brought about by the Kingdom of Sutton could be said to be the most favorable and prosperous era for business among the limited historical knowledge she had learned.

So she tried to offer what support she could.

For example, it donated funds for two ornithopters, donated funds for the activities of hundreds of battlefield chaplains, and provided entertainment expenses for many soldiers who retired from the battlefield and took leave.

Because the homeland was not affected by the war, the soldiers sent by Sutton had holidays and were rotated from the front line regularly.

On the one hand, it can train multiple batches of soldiers with actual combat experience. No matter how rigorous the training and exercises are, there is still a difference between having fought in actual combat and not having fought in actual combat.

On the other hand, it can also effectively prevent soldiers from staying in extreme environments for too long, which may lead to mental disorders.

In addition to all this, she also took the lead in purchasing a large number of war bonds.

It's also a bunch of stuff that will become waste paper if Sutton can't win.

So now her interests are highly tied to Sutton's, and the only way left is for her to go to the battlefield, and she has done everything else she can.

Speaking of which, the person in charge of selling bonds now is also a big shot.

After creating the issue of celebrities promoting products and causing fans to become divided, they came up with a city ranking list.

The number of bonds purchased by each city is made public, and the coverage area is much larger than the fan base.

Not only that, there are two lists. Because it would be too unfair to small cities if only the total amount was calculated, a list was added that calculated the coefficient based on the economic conditions of previous years and then divided the total amount by the coefficient.

What’s even more tricky is that the two lists are in reverse order, and the last person will be announced at the first place.

It’s published in newspapers every day, ads on Magic Vision appear every hour, and there’s a huge logo special effect on the website.

The most "unpatriotic" city must be made the most conspicuous.

Carina saw all this and, well, she supports Drogo.

Although the Duke of Protector of the Country has not appeared recently, his influence is everywhere.

It inspired the rise of countless unscrupulous businessmen in Sutton.

For this reason, Karina, who purchased a large number of bonds, was awarded the Outstanding Citizen Award by the Lord of Twin Towers City.

This is the first time in her life that she has won an award entirely on her own.

This award is a little expensive.

Only after I started earning money did I realize that money is indeed not easy to earn. Although I earn many times more than the pocket money I used to get from my family, I don’t spend money as recklessly as before.

If only everyone in the continent gave her a gold coin, she would be able to spend the money at will.

Bad business isn't the only bad news recently.

It's not the biggest either.

The worst news must be the battle report from the front line. Since about a month ago, there has been no good news sent back from the front line.

Basically, it is a strategic retreat every day.

And on every front.

At first, everyone believed that it was really a strategic retreat, and that there was some killer trick waiting for the opportunity.

But after waiting for a long time, all we got was news about the strategic abandonment of some positions.

This can't help but make people think wildly.

For a time, people were in a panic, and everyone thought that they might really be unable to defeat the Romans.

After all, they are so perverted that they not only control demons, but also sew people into demons.

The time may be coming again when the entire continent is shrouded in the shadow of the empire.

So much so that many people in the city started to learn the "authentic" common language with a Roman accent.

Hopefully, when Loman takes over in the future, things will be easier with the accent.

This panic spread quickly and had a significant impact.

Not many people watched The Lord of the Rings.

People are afraid that the fact that they have watched The Lord of the Rings will be discovered in the future and become a political stain.

Today happens to be the day when the final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, is released.

When the first two films were released, the Magic Cinema ran the screenings 24 hours a day, and they were always packed, with tickets hard to come by.

However, now that the finale has been released, the box office is deserted.

Everyone would rather believe it. It sounds a bit outrageous that watching a movie like this would become a political stain and lead to retaliation, but what if it happens?

Besides, the Romans have done a lot of outrageous things.

Karina didn't care about this panic. After all, if Roman really won, she would be the one to be liquidated no matter what for what she had done.

Maybe he would be caught and brought out to be put to public display.

As for watching the Lord of the Rings, even if it was a crime, it was an insignificant one among her many crimes.

So Galina came to the Magic Cinema and bought a seat in the middle of the fourth row.

A position that was almost impossible to buy at the original price when watching the first two films.

The entire purchase process took thirty seconds and there was no one in line.

When we entered the screening room, there was almost no one there, as if the entire theater was privately booked.

She loved the experience.

Because the first two films were so popular and had so many viewers, there were always one or two people with no manners.

A naughty child who suddenly screams and his parents don't care.

A chatterbox who talks about settings crazily in order to show off in front of his friends, especially his girlfriend.

There are also those weird eaters who, for some reason, chew popcorn very loudly and burp after drinking a drink.

It seriously ruins the movie-watching experience.

So it’s good to book the whole place. It’s really great to book the whole place.

Galina found her seat and recalled the plots of the first two parts.

She has watched each of the films no less than five times. It has been a long time since she has seen such an excellent film, and her favorite Mr. Raoul is among the main characters.

At the end of the previous film, the two hobbits, Pippin and Merry, persuaded the tree people to flood Saruman's lair.

Gandalf led the Rohan cavalry to rescue Helm's Deep.

When she saw Gandalf in a white robe leading countless cavalrymen appear on the hilltop at the most desperate moment for the remaining defenders of Helm's Deep, Carina was so excited that she almost cried.

But when I thought about it, I felt that there might be something wrong with the wizard Gandalf.

In the first part, he just chopped with a sword, but at least the sword he used was enchanted, so he was a magic swordsman, which was somewhat related to the magic profession. He also used magic when fighting the Balrog. In the second part, he even started to use cavalry charges.

During the charge, I used a flash to blind the demons, and then engaged in close combat.

Has this wizard been practicing the attributes of agility and strength?

Although the previous part ended with two big victories, the crisis was not resolved.

Saruman is gone, and there is still the army controlled by Sauron himself.

Frodo and Sam finally arrived in Mordor, bringing with them Gollum, who looked terrifying.

The crisis of Rohan was resolved, but Gondor was still in danger of destruction.

The lights went out, and Carina began to appreciate the final chapter of the Middle-earth epic with full anticipation.

However, the beginning of the final chapter is not very epic.

On the screen appeared two Hobbits fishing in a small boat.

Relaxed and happy.

The Hobbit was not strong enough, but was unwilling to give up the big fish that had been hooked, so he held the fishing rod tightly and was dragged into the water.

And under the water, the familiar ring appeared.

The One Ring.

Karina's heart skipped a beat.

She knew very well that whenever the One Ring was shown in close-up, something unfortunate would happen.

Sure enough, soon the two hobbits were bewitched by the ring and began to fight for it.

The scramble turned into a fight until one side was completely killed.

The one who survived, after years of mental torture by the Ring, gradually lost his human form and turned into a pale little monster.

It's Gollum.

Watching the opening of the film, Karina realized that this might not be a story with a smooth happy ending.

In the story, Sauron led a large army to attack the capital of Gondor.

With the enemy at the gates, the Regent of Gondor was so confused that he had lost all his fighting spirit.

This reminded Galina of the people in the city who were so frightened when they heard the news that the front was uncertain whether it was really a defeat that they simply started to imitate the Roman accent and never considered resisting.

However, compared to ordinary citizens who are just afraid and have no fighting spirit, the performance of the Regent in the plot can hardly be regarded as a human being.

He always favored his eldest son, but the eldest son died on the journey to protect the ring.

So he took his anger out on his youngest son. Why didn't he die as well?
Seeing this, Karina was shocked. What kind of father is this?
People with happy families often find it difficult to understand how unhappy an unhappy family can be.

The regent went a step further and directly ordered his youngest son to launch a suicidal charge.

Amid Pippin's melodious singing, a team of knights charged towards a demon army that was a hundred times larger than their own.

The capital of Gondor is in danger.

Even at this time, the Regent was still unwilling to let go of historical grudges and ask Rohan for help.

Frodo's situation was not going well either. Under the torture of the One Ring and the instigation of Gollum, his mental state began to become abnormal, suspicious and sensitive.

He even began to doubt the loyal Sam, suspecting that his closest friend since childhood wanted to take away his precious ring.

The Last Fellowship of the Ring is on the verge of falling apart.

Carina was so anxious that she wanted to rush into the screen and punch Frodo in the face.

I was in a bad mood and wanted to watch a favorite movie to adjust my mood.

The more I watched, the worse I felt.

The more I look, the more desperate I feel.

Considering the current situation, everyone knows that The Lord of the Rings is alluding to war, and the war with Loman now seems to be as difficult as the war with Sauron.

At the most depressing moment, there is finally a little ray of light in the story.

Gandalf asked Pippin to quietly climb up the beacon tower and light the beacon.

Carina likes the character of Pippin more and more. No matter how difficult the situation is, he always remains optimistic and never hesitates when he is needed.

Small body, but super reliable.

The beacon of Gondor was lit, like the brightest stardust in the dark night, and the flames spread across the fields, over the mountains, across the valleys, and reached the border of Rohan.

Seeing the beacon lights in the distance, Aragorn was as excited as an eighty-year-old child and went to find the King of Rohan.

"Gondor is calling for help."

The king's eyes seemed to pass through Aragon, across the border, to the pure white capital of Gondor, to the ancient alliance between the two countries in history.

"Rohan will respond."

If the countries in Felin had formed an alliance earlier, instead of waiting and watching after several countries had been defeated, the war would not have developed into what it is today.

Galina thought.

She believes that adults in power should be much smarter than herself. She has a clear self-awareness and politics is absolutely a complex and unsolvable problem for her.

But why do those bigwigs who are much smarter than themselves and who manipulate the political situation always make irrational decisions?

With the support of Rohan, the capital of Gondor was successfully defended.

But this does not mean victory.

Because the One Ring has not been thrown into Mount Doom, the threat of Sauron will not be eliminated unless the One Ring is destroyed.

Frodo has arrived at the foot of Mount Doom, but there are countless demons stationed there, and he and Sam are at odds.

Anticipating the difficulties Frodo was facing, Aragorn made a decision.

Gather the remaining soldiers, who were exhausted both physically and mentally after the war, and march straight to Mordor.

It was not to win the battle, but to draw out the troops and create space for Frodo.

When a group of people of different races and with inconsistent equipment, which did not look like a regular army at all, appeared at the border of Mordor, they were surrounded by countless demons.

A famous scene in film history was born.

Aragorn faced the terrified troops and gave a speech with a determined look in his eyes.

"Maybe one day, human courage will run out, and people will abandon friends and sever friendship, but that day will not be today!

“Maybe one day, the demons will break through the human city and cause the human race to become extinct, but that won’t be today!
"Today we fight to the death..."

Karina didn't like this part of the plot, not because it was bad, but because she was in tears and her vision was blurred, so she couldn't see the following scenes clearly.

She just saw Sam carrying Frodo on his back and walking into Mount Doom, where Gollum and the One Ring melted in the magma.

Aragorn is crowned and the four hobbits become heroes.

As she couldn't see clearly, Karina was still recalling what had just happened. She felt that this part of the story was perfect for the people of Sutton to watch now.

They are now running out of courage.

How to trick them, no, bring them into the magic theater?

Karina thought, how about booking the whole theater and giving away free tickets?
Thinking about what kind of activities to hold, Karina walked out of the Magic Cinema, but was pushed back by the crowd as soon as she walked out.

Karina was confused. What was going on?
"No, what's wrong? Why are you all here to watch The Lord of the Rings?"

she asked loudly.

Someone in the crowd responded, "Several Roman legions have surrendered, and Emperor Roman wants to negotiate peace!"

"what?"

Jialina was even more confused. She just watched a movie, what did she miss? (End of this chapter)
