Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Even the reason for her departure was somewhat unacceptable to Sherlock: she was leaving the show as a mother driven mad by reality and her own actions!

I don't know what others think, but Sherlock cursed him for a long time back then.

After taking several deep breaths, Sherlock still couldn't give Wanda an accurate assessment in front of Gandalf. Helpless, Sherlock could only smile at Gandalf before speaking to him.

"Do you want to see for yourself? The life of Wanda, trapped by love her whole life, cursed by love her whole life, in that 'what if' scenario without me?"

As Sherlock spoke, he raised his hand, and the Reality Stone in his hand began to emit a faint, unremarkable red glow.

To Sherlock's surprise, when Gandalf heard Sherlock's words, he actually smiled and pressed down Sherlock's hand, which was about to activate the Reality Stone. After shaking his head at Sherlock, he said to Sherlock with great joy.

"No need, I've already confirmed that the girl is qualified."

At this point, Gandalf even glanced mischievously at Sherlock beside him, winked at him, and then continued.

"Besides, you didn't exist in that timeline, and now that you're standing here, you can't just stand by and watch that silly girl repeat the same mistakes, can you?"

In response to Gandalf's statement, Sherlock clicked his tongue in annoyance and rolled his eyes at Gandalf.

"You bunch of masters should take better care of your own kids! What's with always dumping them on others?"

After saying this, Sherlock gave Gandalf a disdainful look, turned around and walked directly towards the seafood section, completely ignoring Gandalf.

Gandalf laughed heartily at Sherlock's disgusted back.

Chapter 691 Sherlock, always on the go

Despite saying she wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to bother with her friends' kids, Sherlock didn't actually ignore any of them. She did the same with the two girls in Zhao Weike's family, and now it's Wanda's turn too.

It was precisely because of this awkward personality that Sherlock, after being treated to a wonderful bath by the King and Gandalf, transformed the very next day into the squigglyst king in all of Kamar-Taj.

Sherlock rushed to the library as soon as he got up in the morning and began frantically analyzing the magic inside. When he encountered something he couldn't understand, he would ask Old Wang to demonstrate it. Even if Old Wang didn't have time, Sherlock would run to that old-fashioned Mordo to demonstrate it for him.

It's worth mentioning that Mordo, with his rigid personality, would never really like a scoundrel like Sherlock, especially after learning that a new apprentice might join Kamar-Taj and that Sherlock would be the apprentice's mentor. He felt awkward for a long time after that.

The reason is simple: this rigid but responsible Niko stubbornly believes that Sherlock, an alchemist who cannot use magic, cannot mentor newcomers and that this could very well ruin their future.

However, Mordo couldn't bring himself to say those words because of Sherlock's insane efforts that surpassed everyone in Kamar-Taj. Coupled with his respect for the Ancient One, he ended up being stuck in a rut, unable to find a way to express himself.

Every time Sherlock came to him to demonstrate magic, this guy would always remain silent and look reluctant, but his body language would still honestly demonstrate for Sherlock, and he would even occasionally explain the key points of the magic to Sherlock.

When Sherlock gave his answer after a week-long raid, Mordo, the Kamar-Taj sorcerer known for his rigidity and stubbornness, was speechless.

Before Mordo lay ten identical rings, each with a completely different internal structure—the very rings used to open the portal.

These ten rings are numbered from 1 to 10. Number 1 is the simplest; anyone who has undergone enlightenment can use it to open a portal. Rings up to number 5 are no different from ordinary magic rings.

Starting with number 6, the Mystic Ring began to suppress the use of magic in reverse, all the way up to the most powerful number 10 ring.

Mordo himself had tried, and he could only use the number 7 ring to open an extremely unstable portal. According to Sherlock, if you can reliably open a portal with the number 10 ring, then having the Mystic Ring or not will become irrelevant.

It's not even impossible to open a portal with just a glance. In other words, Sherlock has created a super-complex process for the magic of portals, starting from the simplest and progressing to the most difficult.

Almost anyone who can complete this process will become a master of the magic of teleportation.

As for why it's a portal, it's simple: with the help of the Ring of Power, this spell is almost the simplest spell in Kamar-Taj.

Sherlock simply elevated this foundation to an incredible level, benefiting from the innate human talent of "understanding one thing leads to understanding everything," thus multiplying the advantages.

If this can be considered practical, then Sherlock's theoretical answer made Mordo, a self-proclaimed senior mage, feel quite ashamed.

Kamar-Taj's magical system has always followed an ancient sectarian system combined with a master-disciple system.

Under such a system, the process of "master leading you into the door" becomes all sorts of strange and varied. Sherlock, on the other hand, standardized this most basic "process" and compiled it into a series of books called "Karmar-Taj Magic: From Beginner to Tomb".

There are three books in total. Apart from the puzzling names, the content is basically arranged at the levels of beginner, intermediate, and advanced. As long as you can thoroughly understand these three books, you can be considered a qualified mage.

This wasn't exactly a difficult task, but until now, none of the sorcerers in Kamar-Taj had ever done it, which made Mordo wonder if his persistence was a bit outdated.

Of course, Mordo's situation was something Sherlock hadn't considered at all, or rather, Sherlock didn't have time to consider Mordo's old-fashioned feelings, because in addition to being busy with the upcoming teaching, Sherlock had several other projects running at the same time.

After Gandalf returned, he somehow managed to persuade Wanda to become his disciple and inherit his mantle. Even the Ancient One was happy to see this happen. Sherlock could only grit his teeth and analyze Gandalf's staff while trying to find a way to strengthen Wanda's staff.

Preserving the shape of Wanda Narilyn's staff, the forced twin tails it gave the user, and the inexplicable desire for closed boxes were Sherlock's final bottom lines.

Even when Wanda resorted to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide to get the Ancient One and Gandalf to repeatedly persuade Sherlock, it was all to no avail.

It can only be said that Sherlock's love for his quirky sense of humor is undeniable, given that he still manages to maintain it even when he's extremely busy.

Aside from the master-disciple relationship, Sherlock's most important core project remained the creation of the Ancient One's substitute doll and the arrangement of the Ancient One's faked death scenario.

The matter of the scapegoat doll is easy to handle, after all, it's not the first time Sherlock has made one. It's just that this time he needs to make it more exquisite and careful, since Kaecilius, that unlucky fellow, should be considered the senior brother of Kamar-Taj.

Sherlock absolutely refused to believe that this guy could be as stupid as portrayed in the movies, actually believing that the Sorcerer Supreme was merely injured in a sneak attack and then died from a fall.

Aside from the substitute doll, Sherlock spent almost all of his time arranging the script for the Ancient One's faked death.

Well... or to be more precise, most of the morbid humor is in the script.

Sherlock simply added a short dialogue scene to the original script. After Kaecilius successfully ambushed the Ancient One, according to Sherlock's script, the Ancient One should be full of surprise and apology, like an elder who has been exposed for lying and is watching her child suffer, while shedding tears and gently stroking Kaecilius's face.

Finally, under Casillas's gaze, it disintegrated with remorse, perhaps best to offer an apology and a message of expectation, thus delivering a devastating blow to Casillas's resolve.

However, Sherlock overlooked one thing: the Ancient One, this old joker, was clearly extremely dissatisfied with Sherlock's arrangement of merely striking at Kaecilius's Dao heart. She decisively rejected Sherlock's carefully arranged script and chose to take matters into her own hands.

Then Sherlock got what was truly an eyesore.

Most importantly, because of this cringe-worthy script, Sherlock's workload has increased exponentially.

The bad news is that because of this cringe-worthy script, Sherlock's workload has increased exponentially.

The good news is that Sherlock, being a fun-loving person, is equally interested in this hilarious script produced by the Ancient One.

The only problem is that Kamar-Taj is occasionally awakened by a roar in the dead of night.

"What the hell? Are you serious about being called the Dark God of Gunara?"

Chapter 692 Sherlock Displays His Integrity Once Again

I don't know if the Ancient One felt that she was going to 'die' anyway, or if there was no one left on Earth that she cared about, but in any case, aside from being cringeworthy, the Ancient One's script was incredibly unrestrained.

What could Sherlock do? He cooperated while cursing and swearing, secretly hoping for the best. And when no one was around at night, he secretly had a heated argument with the Ancient One about some content in the script that was only available to VIPs, and finally forcefully cut some content that was not suitable for children.

Even because of the clash between the two idea kings, some of the humor in the script wasn't fully resolved this week.

The good news is that Sherlock received word that Stephen has squandered his fortune and is preparing to embark on a journey to find Kamar-Taj.

The bad news is that, despite the fact that Negotiator was killed in less than a week thanks to the kill line, Sherlock noticed that the Ancient One didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, her gaze toward Wanda became increasingly intense.

This situation terrified Sherlock, who frantically called Captain America and Tony, urging them to secretly expedite Stephen's arrival in Kamar-Taj.

At first, the captain and Tony didn't quite understand why.

Isn't it only natural that your child is outstanding and loved by teachers and principals?

However, after Sherlock explained the whole story, Captain America and Tony almost unanimously decided to take Sherlock's instructions seriously, their faces darkening.

After all, it's one thing for your child to be so outstanding that the principal and teachers like them, but it's another thing if they like them too much, to the point that they want to keep their child at school like a super stuntman, working 365 days a year without a break, or even working for hundreds of years.

Stephen Strange, that little neurosurgeon, probably never imagined in his life that he would be targeted by the Avengers and capitalists.

Thanks to the underhanded tactics of Captain America and Tony, Stephen, who had originally planned to borrow some money and gamble on one last surgery, was almost unable to afford even a plane ticket.

He had no choice but to flee to Kathmandu by plane based on his own intelligence, hoping to use his meager savings to find Kamar-Taj and turn his life around.

It must be said that Kamar-Taj's control over the entire city of Kathmandu is absolutely extraordinary.

Stephen, that unlucky fellow, already knew about it the moment he landed in Kamar-Taj. Sherlock naturally followed Mordo to keep an eye on Stephen and see what kind of fun he was going to get.

To be fair, Stephen still had some money in his pocket at this time. Thanks to the exchange rate, this unlucky guy's life in Kathmandu was actually not bad. However, his scarred and trembling hands were still extremely conspicuous.

Looking at the dejected Negotiator, Sherlock was practically rubbing his teeth in frustration. On one hand, he felt sorry that the guy's hand was crippled, otherwise Sherlock would definitely have tried every means to trick Tony into letting him cut Tony's hemorrhoids. On the other hand, he was also thinking to himself that the guy's popularity was absolutely at its worst.

Really, this is absolutely not a conclusion Sherlock came up with by wild guesses, but rather the facts before us.

The main reason Stephen's hands tremble is, simply put, the problem of nerve rupture and inadequate repair.

In the eyes of modern medicine, being able to save those hands and enable them to perform daily activities after such a horrific car accident is already considered a miracle.

However, for superhumans, restoring this guy's hand to its original state wouldn't even be considered difficult.

Both Sherlock and Sister Flower could easily do it, and it might even take less than three minutes! You know, if it weren't for Sherlock and Sister Flower protecting them, the ridiculous things those bastards from the PAB gang did when they were drunk would probably have turned into a gathering of disabled people.

But despite this minor injury, no one managed to give poor Stephen any information about Sherlock or Sister Fluttershy!

Honestly, if Sherlock hadn't known that this unfortunate fellow had previously used medical skills as a tool to build connections and climb the social ladder, he would have even suspected that this arrangement was the work of the group of mages around him.

Mordo, who inexplicably saw Sherlock's strange gaze directed at him and didn't understand what it meant, thought: ?

Sherlock and Mordo spent the entire day watching Stephen, that unlucky fellow, get off the plane, walk out of the airport, and then take his luggage to rent a small house in Kathmandu, preparing for all the procedures to find Kamar-Taj.

It's quite obvious that, for now, this unlucky guy Stephen is actually living a decent life in Kathmandu thanks to the exchange rate difference.

Seeing this scene, Sherlock's lips twitched, and he pointed at Stephen, who was lying down in his rented little house to rest, and asked Mordo beside him.

"Given this bizarre situation, what should we do next? Wait until he runs out of money?"

Mordo, however, didn't bother to answer Sherlock's question. He simply gave Sherlock a look and then spoke to him calmly.

"I don't know, it depends on whether he is destined for Kamar-Taj. Many talented people have become mired in daily life under such circumstances, but for them, it's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?"

After saying this, Mordo put on his hood, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, leaving Sherlock alone staring at the window of the room Stephen had rented, biting his nails incessantly.

Damn it, that was too hasty!

Forget about the exchange rate, the normal monthly income here is about 300 to 400 RMB. If converted to dollars, based on the local maximum salary of 400 RMB, that's about 58 or 59 dollars.

In other words, if he's frugal, $100 could last him two months here! Besides, even though Stephen is down on his luck now, he definitely has more than $100!

If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least six months to a year for this unfortunate Stephen to end up looking like the monster he found in the movie Kamar-Taj!

Sherlock didn't want to waste so much time here!

After a moment's thought, Sherlock quickly came up with a good idea and turned around to go back to Kamar-Taj to start calling for reinforcements.

That evening, four figures sneaked up to the downstairs of Stephen's rented apartment.

After Sherlock looked around to make sure no one was watching, he pulled the remaining three people into a nearby alley. He then pulled out masks, pistols, batons, daggers, and other weapons from his four-dimensional pocket, and also gave each of them a large backpack.

Looking at the 'bank robber' outfit in their hands, Wong, Wanda, and Gandalf all fell silent.

Damn it, Sherlock, when you called us out, you only said we were out for dinner! How come after we finished eating, we're now helping you rob someone?

Hey, are you sure you're not feeding us your last meal before you're executed?
