Thanks for the invitation——

I'm in my hometown, just got off the plane, and I'm currently in——

The highest peak in the world - Mount Everest.

Jianchen Jianchen was completely confused now. He had seen a lot of stories about climbing Mount Everest on short video apps in his previous life, but he never thought that it would happen to him.

In his previous life, because he had no money, the beautiful scenery around the world had nothing to do with him.

After all, poetry and the distant future are beautiful, but the present life is more important.

No one has enough food to eat, and no one cares about poetry or distant places anymore.

He had enough food to eat in this life, and the food was good. Although he had no children, Jianchen Matou, who had a wife and a warm bed, had also lost the passion of his youth.

However, Xin Qiji could still reminisce about his youthful passion in his later years, and Su Dongpo could hold Huang in his left hand and Qingcang in his right hand after being demoted. Now, Jianchen Matou has arrived at Mount Everest, and his blood is boiling with the long-lost feeling.

There is no need for Iskandar to explain anything.

After arriving here, all the contestants already knew what competition they were going to participate in.

It can be said that he is worthy of being the King of Conquerors. Compared to the car race held by Mrs. Irisviel, Iskandar showed everyone what the charm of conquest is!

Conquest does not necessarily require war, but rather slavery and oppression.

It can also be the conquest of nature and the world.

Iskandar had never said this truth before, but at this moment he used his actions to tell everyone present.

Conquering the highest mountain in the world is a challenge that no one can refuse and is the best interpretation of the word "conquer".

After knowing where they are, the contestants who have studied hard know exactly what competition is going to be held in Iskandar.

Although it was already evening and there was no glaring sunlight, the little angel Illya still put her hands on the pergola and looked up at the majestic mountains, which are the highest mountains in the world.

Hercules just stood there beside her. Even though the weather was very cold, he was still wearing the black armor, showing off his sculpted muscles, and he didn't show any fear of the cold at all.

In contrast, little angel Illya, Kenshin Matou, Sakura, Miss Rin, and other heroic spirits present all changed into winter clothes.

Not all of them are afraid of the cold. Some people just think that they should change into specific clothes in specific situations. Otherwise, isn't it a waste if they don't wear the clothes they bought?

Although they are not short of money, they abstain from waste.

Just like now, Sakura is wearing a white cotton jacket and a purple scarf, her face slightly flushed because of the cold weather.

She was leaning in her brother's arms at this moment, with most of her body wrapped in Kenshin Matou's open coat. On the other side of Kenshin Matou was the somewhat shy Miss Rin.

As for our King Arthur, Miss Altria, she changed into King Arthur's limited edition winter clothing - behind the blue and white armor, she wore a quilt that was not very thick but definitely very warm.

Quilt King Altria——Returning for a limited time!
Alas!

Miss Medea and Medusa were much more obedient. They both seemed to prefer purple, so they bought the same cotton coat.

However, Miss Medea was a little inconsiderate.

If they were wearing different clothes, it wouldn't be very obvious, but now they were wearing the same clothes, so...

The plump but cold-faced Medusa forms a stark contrast with Miss Medea, who is a mature woman but looks like a lolita.

This contrast made Miss Medea feel very bad. When Kenshin Matou rubbed her ears, her long ears, which only elves have, stopped twitching.

Finally, he said: "In this match, Artoria has the advantage over me, so I will temporarily transfer my Servant status to her."

"I hope she won't give you the second-to-last place again."

After saying this, Miss Medea, who was in a very bad mood and felt that she was outdone, performed a magic trick and left this place that made her feel bad.

Jianchen Matou was not very worried about this.

Don't be fooled by Miss Medea's awkward expression, as if she is jealous of giving up the position of servant to Miss Altria twice.

But Kenshin Matou, who knew Miss Medea's hobbies, was very clear about one thing, that is, don't underestimate Miss Medea because she pretends to be a mature older sister.

But in fact, Miss Witch is an absolute king chef.

From the first moment she saw Miss Altria, Medea was impressed by King Arthur's figure.

If I wasn't so familiar with them now, I would have never slept in the same bed with Miss Altria and Kenshin Matou.

Miss Medea would have been impatient to take out her favorite clothes and play the dress-up game with Miss Altria.

"We are going to fight together again, Leah."

"Yeah." Miss Altria, holding the royal sword in her hand and looking at the unclimbable peak, responded. After more than ten years of life with Kenshin Matou, some changes have taken place.

She likes to be with Kenshin Matou, and Miss Altria is very happy to be able to participate in the competition with Kenshin Matou as a Servant and advance and retreat together.

"Without further ado..."

Jian Tong Jianchen said, and then, as everyone watched, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened a video app, and searched for "How ordinary people can climb the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, from scratch."

Everyone present was speechless.

"Ordinary people?—You?"

They felt as if they were being sent to deal with the little monster that was holding Tang Monk and his disciples.

……

After quietly complaining in their hearts, except for the arrogant Gilgamesh, the other Masters and Heroic Spirits all ran to Kenshin Matou and watched the strategy video together.

Well, King of Conquerors Iskandar is no exception.

He was an ancient man, and he also had the ambition to conquer everything, but he did not have any special psychological cleanliness. The reason he did not do so before was because there was no Internet in his time.

Now we have the Internet and guide videos, but if you still insist on not watching them to show your determination, then you are simply forcing yourself to endure the hardship.

This is not Iskandar's way.

Therefore, he felt no pressure at all, and together with his master Waver, he squeezed next to Kenshin Matou and watched the strategy video for this competition.

"Oh, I see. Is this possible?" "Huh? What the hell? Ordinary people have to hike for more than ten days? This race will take so long..."

“It looks like you’re having a hard time.”

“But if you succeed, it will be an experience you will never forget.”

Climbing the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest, may seem scary at first glance, but except for Kenshin Matou who shamelessly says that he is an ordinary person, the others in his group are not ordinary people.

Even Sakura, who hadn't studied much magic, wasn't considered an ordinary person.

In the ten years since the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Sakura's body has undergone tremendous changes, and the reason is nothing more than the gift from Uncle Liu.

What kind of gift?
——The Chixiao sword that Uncle Liu used to kill the White Snake Uprising is still in the hands of Jianchen Jiantong.

Anyway, Uncle Liu who returns to his hometown may do anything, except fighting. And even if he fights, it doesn't matter whether he has the Chixiao Sword or not.

Firstly, Uncle Liu has the ability to be "open-minded", and coupled with his skills as a magician, the three talismans of "attack", "defense" and "guard" can be said to be naturally invincible.

Secondly, unless the target of the attack is a dragon, or someone related to a dragon, such as our Miss Altria, the Scarlet Sky Sword...

Well, even when attacking other things, the power of the Chixiao Sword is still very considerable.

Because in addition to its special effects against dragons, the Scarlet Scabbard Sword also has the ability to destroy demons. The teardrop mole under the corner of Diarmuid's eye was broken by the Scarlet Scabbard Sword used by Kenshin Matou.

But the reason why Jianchen Jianchen really fell in love with the Scarlet Sky Sword and asked Uncle Liu to keep it with him was not because of its special effect on dragons - what a joke. The only person around him who had a relationship with dragons was Miss Altria, and Miss Altria was his wife. How could he possibly go against his own wife?

It wasn't because of the Scarlet Sky Sword's ability to break magic, because there was simply no magic that could be broken by it. Ever since he had spent three years in the Clock Tower and dealt with some old guys, no desperate magician had dared to come to Dongmu to cause trouble for him.

The reason why he asked Uncle Liu to keep the Scarlet Heaven Sword with him was that he valued the Scarlet Heaven Sword's ability to "nourish the power of the master", although he didn't know how it was nurtured.

But as for health preservation, I can only say that those who understand will understand.

In his hometown, animals that are beneficial to health are almost being eaten into endangered species - the pangolin is really miserable.

In the past ten years, Kenshin Matou would sleep with the Scarlet Scabbard Sword in his arms at least one day out of every two days. The reason why it wasn't every day was because in addition to taking care of his own health, he was also taking care of Sakura's health.

However, this situation changed a year ago.

That was when Sakura celebrated her seventeenth birthday. That night, after those who were celebrating, such as Tohsaka Tokiomi, Mrs. Tohsaka Aoi, and Miss Rin, had left.

Sakura held the Chixiao Sword and came to her brother's room on her own initiative.

She had a perfect excuse at the time. She said, "Brother, I am already seventeen years old and I understand my own feelings. In this case, there is no need for us to maintain our current relationship. You did not bully me because I am young, and I was willing to do so. So... for the sake of health and to maximize the effectiveness of the Scarlet Sky Sword, let's sleep together."

Chi Xiao Jian: "Am I also a part of your brother-sister play?"

……

The physical fitness of the Matou siblings has surpassed the peak of ordinary people. Of course, magicians are a different story, because magicians and normal humans are almost two different species.

Miss Rin's physical fitness is also good. As far as Kenshin Matou knows, Miss Rin has studied martial arts and exercises regularly. Kenshin Matou is not sure about other parts of her body, but he thinks he has a say in that pair of long legs that he can play with for a lifetime without getting tired of.

Those legs are really powerful and can do some very interesting things, but I have never had the chance to try them.

The other masters are not bad either.

Mrs. Irisviel and little angel Illya are both artificial humans. Although they are not extremely powerful, they are still much stronger than ordinary people.

Weber...

Hmm...he's hard to judge.

Among the many Masters present, Weber, the magician who graduated from a professional school, has the worst physical fitness and the heaviest equipment.

He was wearing a very thick cotton coat at this time, but his nose was still running.

In the ten years or so since his king Iskandar left, Waver had only focused on studying magic and had not paid any attention to his physical fitness.

It has nothing to do with Iskandar's tall and mighty body.

It is hard to say who is the strongest on the Master's side, but there is no doubt who is the weakest.

As for the Servant, it is difficult to be sure.

The first is Miss Altria, Kenshin Matou's servant and his wife. Although Iskandar has not yet explained the rules of the competition, powers such as magic must be banned. Otherwise, Miss Medea would not have to transfer her status as a servant and could just fly up directly.

Gilgamesh was similar in this regard. In the last racing competition, the 'Vimana' he drove was a beggar version. If there were no restrictions in this competition, he could have flown directly up.

Even the proposer of the competition, Iskandar, has a sacred bull, and can fly up leisurely while sitting in the carriage.

Therefore, the power of magic and treasures must be limited, and considering Iskandar's personality, he will most likely have to rely on physical fitness to win this game.

In this way, the outcome is really suspenseful.

First of all, Gilgamesh is a hybrid with two-thirds of his body being gods and one-third being human. Although hybrid is a derogatory term, hybrids are very powerful.

Two-thirds of it is from God, which gave Gilgamesh strong physical fitness, which will be a very advantageous ability when climbing Mount Everest.

In this respect, Hercules is no less capable.

Gilgamesh is still only two-thirds a god, while Hercules is truly... well, Hercules is not a bastard, but he is not quite a god either, he is a demigod...

But even so, with Hercules' terrifying size, it is no problem for him to take one step that is equivalent to five or six steps of others, so his advantage is still huge.

In this regard, Miss Altria is far behind.

But since the other servants are all cheating, Miss Altria has nothing to be embarrassed about. She has the power of a dragon and is a completely human-shaped Gundam with terrifyingly strong physical fitness.

Medusa's physical fitness is not even comparable among these perverts, but her job as a rider is her biggest advantage. During the climb that takes several days, the advantages brought by this job are equally terrifying.

In contrast, the last Holy Grail War was fought by a rider, but this time it is Iskandar who is a saber. He is also the proposer of this competition, but he does not have any obvious advantages.

His physical fitness is not outstanding, nor does he have any plug-ins to use, and even his job skills are not strong enough. It can only be said that the competition that Iskandar thought of was really just a competition he wanted to hold, and he is not very optimistic about winning the competition.

Only the last one, where the Servant and the Master are one, Mrs. Irisviel, who has some special circumstances, is... hard to say, after all, the ability of the Winter Saint cannot be used.

But the Winter Saint has the word "Winter" in her name after all, so maybe she has some special buff bonuses in the cold Mount Everest mountains.

This time the game has not even started yet, but it is already full of suspense. (End of this chapter)
