One person climbs the mountain.
Who doesn’t know how to climb mountains
Everyone has to climb mountains several times in their life.
But not everyone can climb such a mountain.
Scarcity makes things valuable.
Although this sentence is an economic principle, its scope of application is not limited to economics.
Before Shinji traveled through time, he lived in the south, where the terrain was flat and there were many rivers. Not to mention mountains in the geographical sense, there were few hills, but any place with a little undulation would be named a mountain, attracting nearby residents to come and "mountain climbing". The government also took advantage of the situation and carefully built trails, maintained the environment, and created a leisure area for residents.
Fuyuki City is the opposite. It is built on the mountain (hills) and surrounded by mountains and rivers (hills and undulations). It is impossible not to deal with mountains. Under such circumstances, the residents' enthusiasm for mountains is not as strong as Shinji's previous life. Except for Enzo Mountain, which has the added attribute of Ryudo Temple's faith, no one will set foot on other mountains. Accordingly, the government will not waste limited funds on these places that no one cares about.
In other words, most of the mountains near Fuyuki City are undeveloped and preserve the original natural environment. There are no hiking trails or handrails, and even mobile phone signals may not be covered. In such an environment, even if the altitude is not high, how many people are willing to climb and can successfully reach the top
Of course, this level of environment is nothing to Shinji. Although he has not received professional mountaineering training, his strength and physical fitness are there. Even the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, may not be able to stop him, let alone a nameless hill with an altitude of less than 500 meters, which is not even a mountain in the strict sense
He still walked briskly on the slippery ground due to the melting of ice and snow, and the tangled vegetation was just a piece of cake, not even an obstacle. It only took him a few minutes to get from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and including the time it took to drive out of the city, the total time was no more than 20 minutes.
Well, speeding, driving against traffic, running red lights and other illegal behaviors are inevitable. However, because Shinji disguised the vehicle in advance, from the vehicle model to the license plate, from the color to the appearance, there are significant changes, so even if the traffic police want to arrest him for dangerous driving, it is impossible.
The climbing route Shinji chose was on the dark side facing away from the sun, opposite to the sunny side where Karna and Gilgamesh, Rin and Luvia fought, and it was the farthest route. The reason for doing so was that he was worried that if he rushed into the battlefield rashly, he would be attacked by both sides. Even if he was not attacked, this rare and unprecedented battle would be interrupted. This was not what Shinji wanted to see. He came to watch the show, not to cause trouble.
At the top of the mountain, I found an ideal spot covered by trees and rocks where I would not be easily discovered but would not affect my viewing of the battle and sat down.
Just as he put down his backpack, he saw a pillar of fire with a diameter of at least ten meters rising into the sky. The terrifying energy and magic fluctuations contained in it still caused Shinji's magic circuits to feel a sharp pain even from such a distance.
"This is... Karna's magic... He released his treasure? The battle has only started for a few minutes, and he's already started to mess up his face? Tsk tsk, so three targets are three targets, and once they start fighting, it will definitely be earth-shattering. No, I have to hurry..."
As the young man spoke, he quickly pulled out a pair of black-framed glasses from his pocket and put them on his nose. This was a gift he received from an elder in the Celestial Empire, and it had many wonderful functions, including farsightedness.
After injecting magic power into the frame and adjusting the focus, two golden figures were reflected on the iris. One of them held a bow and the other held a sword, and they fought face to face.
"Tsk tsk, he still plays like this even after changing his job and weapon. It turns out that an archer who can't fight in close combat is not a qualified archer. Hmm, I see... The Brahma Bow can be used like this. I've learned another trick."
As he spoke, the boy reached into his backpack and clenched his other hand in the air, also holding a bow. The size, shape, and even the posture of holding the bow were exactly the same as Karna's.
◇◇◇
"What is he going to do! What is he going to do!"
In a cave not far away, a young girl shouted excitedly.
When Shinji was looking at Karna, someone was also looking at him - no, not only looking, but even the sound was transmitted to him through a special ritual.
"Hiss... It hurts, it hurts, be gentle, Master, be gentle."
The adult male next to the girl screamed in pain. The overly excited girl couldn't help but grab the man's arm. Because of her excitement, her nails dug into the flesh, causing the man to gasp.
"ah!"
The girl realized what she had done and quickly let go of her hand, complaining somewhat awkwardly.
"You are a Servant after all. Why are you crying out in pain when I only used a little strength?"
"I think most Servants would feel pain if they were pinched. Look at the blue marks."
The man answered with a wry smile and rolled up his sleeves, revealing clear nail marks on his exposed skin.
Such a joyful way of getting along, and a male and female master-servant combination, can only be Olga Marie and Roman. After separating from Luvia, they went all the way up to the top of the mountain to build a barrier that covers and blocks magic, in order to fulfill their promise.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Seeing the bruises around the nail marks, Olga Marie lowered her head in embarrassment.
"It's okay. Just don't be so excited next time. Getting excited won't solve the problem."
Roman, who had always played the role of a good man, was not angry. The bruises disappeared quickly with the flow of imperceptible magic power, but Olga Marie did not see it. Before disappearing, he had already pulled up his sleeves, and Olga Marie turned her attention back to Shinji.
"Oh, by the way, Matou Shinji, this guy is very dangerous, we must—"
"What is necessary?" Roman asked with a strange expression while looking at the surveillance footage.
"Well... "
Olga Marie felt as if someone had grabbed her throat. She made some noises for a long time but couldn't utter a word.
What she wanted to say was "We must inform Luvia and the others as soon as possible." Olga Marie and Roman's mission was to be alert and concealed. Therefore, as soon as Shinji entered the barrier, she was on high alert.
Shinji left a deep impression on her on the "Mystic Eye Collection Train". He first fought Faker head-on and won, and then killed "Fuhailin" Anashu, one of the twenty-seven ancestors, in a short period of time. In Olga Marie's heart, Shinji Matou himself has been equated with top servants like Karna.
When she saw Shinji materialize the golden bow, her first reaction was that this guy was going to mess things up. Since her own Servant was a useless piece of shit and had no ability to stop Shinji (she thought so), all she could think of was to quickly notify Luvia and ask them to stay alert or just call a truce to avoid giving Matou Shinji an opportunity to take advantage of her.
However, before she could sound the alarm, she was confused by Shinji's next move.
PS: Roman’s level of flirting with girls is top-notch. If you don’t believe me, go read about Solomon’s related deeds yourself. Not to mention the Queen of Sheba, who played little tricks on him, in addition to the Queen of Sheba, Solomon had ten other wives.
PS2: I knew someone would bring up the Heaven's Chain. The Heaven's Chain is set to be a weapon that counters gods. The higher the divinity, the stronger the chain. So far, except for Uncle Hai's breakthrough of the myth for Loli and Tima, no divine servant has ever broken through Shining's Heaven's Chain. So why didn't Shining use it on Karna? Because Karna's butter armor is a bigger bug, and all the adverse effects on Karna are only one tenth, even the MC's interference is no exception. The Heaven's Chain binds Karna. Let's not talk about whether it can bind him? Even if it does, it will probably break in an instant.
