Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

The base of the 7th Squad of the Twin Towers City Garrison, this squad is mainly responsible for maintaining public order on Cornflower Street and surrounding blocks.

However, due to the emergence of the Drogo Group, the crime rate in the Twin Towers has been declining, and the decline is particularly prominent here on Cornflower Street.

Apart from arresting the director of a pharmaceutical factory a few years ago, he has never done any important work since then.

Every day I either mediate a quarrel between a couple or look for someone’s lost dog.

Originally, such trivial matters were not within the scope of the garrison's duties.

But the Seventh Team was really idle.

Good news, no need to work every day.

Bad news, lost promotion opportunities.

So the Seventh Team soon became the retirement team in the city and the most "progressive" team in terms of ideology.

Passively, they work not only to sell their labor, but also partly out of their own spiritual needs...

However, today, hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor.

The guard pushed open the door of the captain's office and said breathlessly.

"Captain! We have received a report that someone is gathering in the Riverbank area to perform devil worship rituals."

"what?"

The captain pretended to be shocked and stood up, while skillfully switching the host back to the desktop.

Although the current version of the host cannot run multiple functions at the same time, it is still possible to switch back to the desktop.

The guard glanced at the desktop on the captain's host screen and made a contrived "I don't see anything" look.

"What are you thinking about, kid!"

The captain slapped him on the head, "Isn't it normal to display the desktop when you're not working?"

"Report to the captain, everything is normal!"

Having said that, the noisy fan noise in the chassis reveals that it is not non-working.

Magical equipment also needs heat dissipation.

The captain is actually secretly playing "Road to Conquest". Having lost hope of promotion, he is now indulging in the desire to be a superior in the game.

However, given his financial situation, he cannot become a big boss in the game. He can only be a middle-level member of the guild. In clan wars, he is a little stronger than pure cannon fodder, but not much.

Can withstand a skill from a top paying player and buy some output time for your own boss.

Despite this, he is still a big shot in the plane he is in, and he has a group of loyal followers who are waiting in line for him to take them to the next dungeon.

People must be content.

To go any further would be beyond his ability and he would not be able to control it.

The captain of the sixth team next door is now in jail for embezzling public funds to play games.

"You are so impetuous. As a guard, you should be steady. It's just a devil worship ritual. It's not a big deal." The captain said calmly.

The guard's eyes were full of admiration, "Captain, isn't a devil worship ritual a big deal?"

This young guard was transferred to the Seventh Squad because he had offended his superior in his previous squad, and his career was basically declared hopeless.

I didn't expect the captain to be so calm when facing the alarm of the devil's ritual. That is an evil ritual that may summon the real devil. Could it be that the captain is a hidden legend?
"You just got here, so you don't know. Every few days, our area will receive alerts about devil worship. In the end, we found out that it was just a kid playing that game. What's it called..."

"Red Alert?"

"Yes, the devil warriors in Red Alert are called role-playing. There are no real devils." The captain took the equipment from the armor stand. "If those kids make too much noise, just persuade them to go home."

"So that's how it is." The guard's tone was a little disappointed.

It's good to be free of danger, but it also proves that this team really has no future.

After all, opportunities and risks coexist.

The two men put on their equipment and walked slowly towards the eastern section of Cornflower Street.

The captain personally went out not to show his spirit of leading by example, but mainly because there were only two of them on duty today, and there were not many people in the team who were not too old to go out on field missions.

There is no such thing as captain or not. When it’s time to catch the cat, catch the cat. When it’s time to find the dog, find the dog.

Ten minutes later, an old man and a young boy arrived at the reporting location.

On the way, the captain also gave the new guard some precautions.

For example, pay attention to smiling.

Because those kids who were role-playing really liked taking photos with others, when they saw the garrison, they didn’t run away. Instead, they took the initiative to come forward and ask if they could take a photo with them. They were quite polite.

After taking the photo, they would usually compliment him by saying, "Where did you get your garrison uniforms made? They're so realistic!"

At this time, remember to compliment them back and praise their realistic costumes.

Those kids love to post group photos online, and occasionally a few of them get widely circulated.

Therefore, the two of them must show a friendly and amiable attitude, which can be regarded as a contribution to improving the image of the Guards in the eyes of the people.

"Although we are doing an idle job, we still have to go to work every day and do our best every shift. We can't give up on ourselves," the captain taught earnestly.

"I understand." After listening to this, the guard straightened his appearance.

The most famous building on the eastern section of Cornflower Street must be the Drogo Theater.

The most luxurious magic cinema in the continent, with the most screening rooms and the best audio-visual effects.

There is now a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the cinema.

"Okay, no need to look for it, it must be that one." The captain said affirmatively.

He squeezed into the crowd with his guards.

"Make way, make way, Guards."

"What's wrong with the garrison? Can the garrison cut in line? I've been queuing for half a day just to take a photo." shouted the person who was pushed past.

"It's okay, there will be plenty of time to take photos with us later, there's no rush." ​​The captain responded.

"Who wants to take a picture with you guys? I want to take a picture with Miss Starling!"

The captain ignored the man and squeezed into the crowd with difficulty.

But when I squeezed in, I was dumbfounded.

What about the kids who role-play?

Why isn't there any?
In front of me, there was only a short young girl who was smiling, taking photos with one person after another and giving them autographs.

The girl looked very cute and full of energy. She took photos with so many people in the queue and didn't show any sign of boredom at all.

The captain immediately realized that this person might be the "Miss Starling" that the crowd had just called.

Never heard of it.

In his experience, someone who would be surrounded like this is usually a minor star.

Somewhat famous, but not particularly famous.

If it's so famous that there won't be traffic jams outside the cinema, the traffic on this street will be paralyzed.

"Another false alarm," the captain said impatiently, "Look carefully, is this the reported location?"

"It's right in front of the Drogo Theater," the guard replied immediately, "I'll confirm it with the informant now."

Thanks to the advent of mobile phones, people no longer have to go to the garrison in person to report something, which also gave rise to the phenomenon of false alarms to trick the garrison.

Although the Drogo Group provides technology to track numbers and locate whistleblowers, the penalties for false alarms are not severe, so this practice continues despite repeated bans.

"It has been confirmed. The informant said this is the place. A woman who calls herself Miss Starling appears as a young human woman, not very tall, with brown hair. She is the devil, and a large number of civilians are worshiping her." The guard said, putting down his phone.

The captain observed Starling carefully. She looked like a beautiful human girl.

There were no demonic features, nor any sense of danger.

However, out of a sense of responsibility, he still took out the guidance crystal and pointed it at Starling.

The indicator crystal is standard equipment for the Guards, and can test whether the target is a devil or a demon.

It is rarely used, as there are few real demons these days. And even advanced Transfiguration spells cannot be identified, so it is a useless prop.

As soon as the indicator crystal was aimed at Starling, it immediately turned into a dazzling red.

devil!

The captain was so frightened that his hand shook, and the crystal fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

His first reaction was to run away. The demons that could appear in public in Feilin were basically high-level demons.

But he was not a good fighter and had not seen combat for many years.

However, his sense of responsibility as the captain of the garrison team enabled him to overcome his instinctive fear. He reached for the hilt of the sword with his right hand, but was stopped by the guard.

The captain looked at the guard in confusion.

The guard whispered, "The appearance of the devil in the city does not violate the laws of the Kingdom of Sutton. Only devil worship is illegal and is considered a heretical sacrifice. But there is no worship ceremony here, just a group photo."

Yes.

After hearing what the guard said, the captain thought it made a lot of sense.

There is indeed no provision in the laws of the Kingdom of Sutton that prohibits demons from appearing in the city.

"So let's let so many civilians stay with the devils?"

In the captain's opinion, all demons are dangerous and all demons are hostile.

"How about you, Captain, disperse the crowd while I call for support from the main force."

"Why don't you disperse the crowd?"

"You are the captain. Only the captain can take on more difficult tasks."

"You!" the captain gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I'll disperse the crowd."

After the tasks were assigned, the captain suppressed his fear and walked to Starling's side.

He had to try his best to disperse the crowd without alerting the devil, and also prevent people from knowing the truth, so as to avoid causing large-scale panic.

People are standing so densely that if things get chaotic, several people might be trampled to death.

"Cough cough!" The captain coughed loudly twice.

It's okay, it's okay.

He thought about what to say while trying to calm himself down.

Even the devil wouldn't dare to do it in public.

Yes.

Definitely not.

Moreover, this is the territory of the Drogo Group. They will not allow the devil to wreak havoc on their territory.

Yes, no problem, definitely no problem...

After preparing himself mentally, the captain said, "Quiet! I am the captain of the seventh squad of the garrison."

As soon as he said this, people looked at him.

"Please don't gather here. It will affect the carriage traffic on Cornflower Street. Please leave."

"But we don't occupy the main road?" someone in the crowd responded immediately.

That person was right, they were indeed well-mannered and did not block the road.

"It's dangerous to have so many people gathered. It's so crowded that a stampede is likely to occur. Everyone should go home."

The captain gave a new reason. He felt that Starling was staring at him from behind, but he didn't dare to look back.

"We are not in chaos at all. We are all lined up and there is no trampling at all."

"The Guards are just meddling in other people's business!"

"That's right! Our cat got lost, and we reported it to you, but you said we'd wait for news. It's been several weeks, and you still haven't found the cat. What are you trying to do here?"

"It's you who should go back. We haven't affected anyone else."

"Is the garrison so idle? No backlog of cases? You might as well do something useful with this time!"

The crowd became more and more excited, completely ignoring the captain's warnings.

It’s no wonder people are like this; the garrison was really not a good thing in the past.

The captain's voice was drowned out by the crowd.

He looked into the distance anxiously; the reinforcements had not arrived yet.

"It's dangerous anyway! Don't gather here!"

"Why is it dangerous?"

At this time, Starling suddenly said: "I think the captain of the garrison may have discovered that I am a devil, so he thinks it is dangerous here."

Hearing what Starling said, the captain broke out in a cold sweat.

It’s over.

The devil revealed his identity.

What's the next step? Is it going to be a killing?

If a killing starts, wouldn't I be the first one to suffer because I'm the closest to him?
The captain closed his eyes in despair.

"So don't get excited, the captain is also thinking about everyone's safety." Starling continued.

and many more.

The captain opened his eyes again.

what's the situation?
Is this devil speaking for himself?

He finally mustered up the courage and looked back at the devil.

I have to admit that this devil lady is really beautiful. Although she is short, she has a heroic air.

No, that's not the point.

This devil has revealed his identity, why don't people react with surprise or fear at all?
Bewitch!

It's bewitching!
Everyone here has been bewitched by this devil.

"But we already knew that Miss Starling was a devil. She's not dangerous at all." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"It's okay. After all, I'm a devil. Such misunderstandings are normal. The captain is not wrong. The devil clan has indeed caused a lot of harm in history. We have been reflecting on our mistakes. We hope that Hell and Felin can usher in a long-term peace. Our enemies with humans have never been each other, but the scum in the two clans."

Starling said earnestly.

The crowd immediately began to cheer.

"Well said, Miss Starling!"

"That's right, humans and demons should be at peace!"

The captain was confused. Has he become a bad guy?

Why does it feel like this devil's speaking level is higher than his? He can't beat her.

After calming the crowd, Starling said to the captain: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble. Actually, we just finished the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs". I played a role in it. The audience was very enthusiastic, so I stayed to take pictures with everyone. After taking pictures, I will leave. I didn't know it would be like this."

"Demon Shadow?" the captain asked subconsciously.

The devil's shadow?
“Yes, the new Shadow of Demons launched by Drogo Studios tells the story of cooperation between demons and humans, showing a future in which humans and demons coexist peacefully and develop together.”

No, this devil speaks in such a contradictory way that the captain feels like he is listening to the group leader's speech.

"If you're interested, here are the Magic Movie tickets. The next one will start soon."

Starling said, handing over the Magic Shadow ticket.

The captain took it and asked habitually: "What kind of magic movie is this?"

Starling smiled slightly, "A harmonious, positive and good film." (End of this chapter)
