Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Sherlock did not agree with Odin's statement. Instead, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he shook his head before responding to Odin's words.

"I don't want to get involved in your melodramatic family drama."

Faced with Sherlock's neither yes nor no answer, Odin paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Sherlock.

"As expected, I knew from the beginning. There was no way to hide it from you, alchemist! But it doesn't matter. Asgard is not just about that one big spaceship. Let those two fools pay for the sins I committed."

At this point, Odin's face showed an unprecedented calmness and relaxation, as if a secret he had carried for a long time had finally been revealed, giving him a sense of relief.

Frigga knew what Odin was talking about, but she said nothing and simply took Odin's hand gently.

Seeing the elderly couple opposite him, Sherlock didn't dwell on the topic too much. Instead, he relaxed as well, pointed in the direction of the yard, and, hearing the faint sounds of angry curses coming from within, he smiled slightly before continuing.

"What about the other two? What are your plans for the future?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's question, Odin simply waved his hand dismissively before speaking to Sherlock.

"No special arrangements, just come along. I already emailed you, asking you to invite that brat's friends, the Avengers ones, to come see my final work. Of course, if you have time, it would be even better if you could also attend my and Frigga's funeral."

Faced with Odin's arrangement, Sherlock rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, mercilessly exposing Odin's little scheme.

"You want to leave surrounded by children and everyone else, and casually pass the crisis to Thor and Thor's friends? Odin, you're still as cunning as ever."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

In response to Sherlock's words, Odin actually smiled and replied to Sherlock as if Sherlock had given him extremely high praise, leaving Sherlock speechless.

To be honest, Charlotte managed to overcome Odin and Thor's naiveté. If Odin had spared even a little bit of his intelligence for Thor, Thor wouldn't have been so foolish. So Odin really did give birth to Thor just to detoxify himself?

The more Sherlock thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Suddenly, he felt too lazy to bother with Odin. Just as he was about to get up and check on Loki and Thor in the yard, he casually uttered that polite remark.

"If you're free, I'll go check on those two idiots. Make sure they don't start fighting here, especially Loki. It's not good if he gets exposed."

To Sherlock's utter surprise, Odin actually had something to ask of him, something he had only casually mentioned as a polite remark.

"Yes, there really is. I'll leave the matter of the sequel to my posthumous work to you. As for the profits, go to Thor and Loki. Of course, I still hope you can accept the award on my behalf at the awards ceremony. After all, I really can't imagine what kind of crazy speech those two guys could come up with."

"???"

Seriously, you really are Saul's father! You talk about serious matters in such roundabout ways, but when it comes to your own movie, you're all incredibly serious? So, your two idiot sons don't even matter as much to you as your damn movie?

And, are you so sure your portrayal of Hannibal will win an award?

Sherlock felt like his mother had opened the door for him, leaving him utterly speechless...

Chapter 745 Odin's Daily Life

Speechless at Odin's final invitation, Sherlock decisively refused Odin's offer to stay overnight, instead choosing to take Doro to his car for a night. And as it turned out, Sherlock's choice was absolutely correct.

That evening's dinner left a deep impression on Sherlock, with Odin, Frigga, and the two Thor brothers practically being the source of all the noise.

Thor was talking to Frigga about his relationship with Jane, mostly about everyday things, occasionally interjecting with Loki's complaints about Asgardian politics, while Odin kept rambling on about the artistic merit of his films.

After dinner, Sherlock looked at Frigga and felt sorry for the old woman, who had to deal with her two children as well as her husband.

Fortunately, during the cleanup after dinner, Frigga was able to order Loki and Thor around, which finally brought her some peace and quiet.

Sherlock slipped away after dinner. It must be admitted that the dinner had a very warm and cozy feel, but for Sherlock, an outsider, it was pure torture.

Sherlock was uninterested in Loki's political affairs, didn't want to be fed dog food by Thor, and knew nothing about Odin's art. Throughout the entire encounter, Sherlock only felt the noise and not any warmth.

To paraphrase a song lyric, Sherlock felt he should be under the carriage, not sitting at the table.

If dinner was just a light meal, then Odin's family after dinner was like a demon descending to earth, clearly proving how right Sherlock was to take Doro back to the car to sleep instead of staying at Odin's house.

Even if Sherlock were in the car, he could faintly hear arguments coming from inside the house, whether from drinking or watching TV. It would be a miracle if you could fall asleep inside the house.

Think it ends here? You're really being too optimistic.

Even after the TV program ended, the snoring of Thor and Odin echoed each other like a powerful electric drill, keeping Sherlock awake all night in his dreams, working as a construction crew.

When Sherlock was woken up by Frigga the next morning for breakfast, his eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at her.

It's really hard to imagine how Jane and Frigga could tolerate Odin and Thor, those two drills.

Of course, aside from these everyday little things, Sherlock also witnessed Odin's final act of reconciliation as a father to his two children.

For the past two days, Odin has been taking Loki back and forth between the film company and home almost every day. Sherlock followed along out of curiosity and discovered what Odin was doing with Loki.

It appears that Odin is pulling Loki along, asking him to help him with business negotiations with the film company, but in reality, Odin is gradually analyzing negotiation techniques and teaching Loki many unique methods of a 'king'.

Loki seemed to have figured out Odin's thoughts. Although he kept cursing, his actions betrayed him, and he obediently followed Odin to learn.

As for Saul, he spent most of his time clinging to Frigga, like a lively golden retriever, running around behind her.

While Frigga was resting, Thor would occasionally come over to bother Sherlock.

However, unlike the harassment he caused by helping Frigga, Thor's harassment of Sherlock was pure harassment.

She used all sorts of disgusting tactics, from pretending to be a high school girl to feigning weakness, all with the aim of getting Sherlock to add a Valkyrie transformation function to his new hammer behind Frigga's back.

After Sherlock was thoroughly disgusted by Thor, he finally gave in to Thor's wish, although the transformation into a 'Valkyrie' was somewhat different from what Thor had imagined.

Thor's original idea was that when he picked up the hammer, he could decide whether or not to transform into his armored form in New Mexico, thus perfectly preventing Frigga from discovering that he was dressed as a woman.

However, the function Sherlock chose to add to Thor was that when the pink mortar shell of the Meowth Hammer makes complete and even contact with the enemy, there is a 3% chance of triggering an effect similar to [Black Flash].

When [Black Flash] is triggered, it will cause a small-scale explosion that will not affect the user. While dealing damage, it will melt all the clothes or armor on the enemy and force them to be unable to wear any clothes for five minutes.

Five minutes later, a set of 'magical girl battle suit' that cannot be removed will be forcibly generated on your body, and you will be forced to wear it for 24 hours.

The reason Sherlock made the rules so complicated was to keep Thor from understanding them, to make Thor think about them in a corner and stop him from bothering him.

What? You're saying this isn't what Thor requested?

Yes, that's what Thor said at the time, but under Sherlock's persuasive talk, Thor obediently retreated.

You can just say whether you wanted to control the transformation yourself or not. As long as you hit the target a certain number of times and the attack is precise enough, you should be able to transform, right? As for who does the transformation, that's none of your business. You didn't say that in the first place, did you?

Moreover, Sherlock's rules never stipulated whether you could hit yourself. If you really wanted to, you could give yourself 100 hammers right away and trigger the big guarantee, and you could also experience a transformation on the high ground.

Most importantly, Sherlock even had a backup plan to prevent you from being punished by your own mother. The 24-hour mandatory wearing of this garment is something even Frigga couldn't handle!

You know what, after Sherlock's smooth talk, Thor actually selectively forgot about the five minutes of naked running and the small-scale explosion, and excitedly grabbed his hammer and went to the yard to start hammering himself.

When Frigga woke up from her nap, she saw Saul standing in the yard with a fanatical smile, frantically pounding all over her body with the real bird headdress in his hand. Frigga thought she hadn't woken up yet.

After repeatedly confirming that she wasn't seeing things or dreaming, Frigga cautiously probed to find out what Thor was doing.

The answer she received left Frigga feeling rather uneasy.

"It's nothing, Mother. I'm just training my resilience so I can become Thor instead of Hammer God as soon as possible!"

Hearing Solna's energetic reply, Frigga felt that the day her silly son became Thor was a long way off, and she even wondered if it was because her or Odin's genes were not good.

Otherwise, how do you explain this scene, which could be described as a psychotic episode?

Fortunately, just as Frigga was considering whether to have another child while Odin was still alive and she still had some time, an explosion in the courtyard and Thor's excited voice interrupted Frigga's thoughts.

However, looking at Saul in his pink and delicate dress that resembled a small cake, Frigga felt that whether or not she should have children should take a backseat and prioritize her blood pressure.

Chapter 746 Sherlock is up to something again

The noisy daily routine at the Odin household continued for two days. On the afternoon of the third day, Tony, Captain America, and Black Widow arrived in Los Angeles and called Sherlock.

After a long, drawn-out conversation that sounded like a telegraph machine, Tony, relying on his wealth, led the two to the address Sherlock had given them.

The entrance to a small screening room located inside a film company.

To the surprise of all three, they saw the 'surprise' that Sherlock had arranged as soon as they got off the car.

The person who was the culprit of the Battle of New York was just standing openly at the entrance of the screening room, and right next to him was Thor, the Avenger!

What puzzled the three of them even more was that Thor was carrying something they couldn't understand.

A pink winged mortar shell with a handle attached?

What is this thing? Is it some kind of equipment to guard Loki? Is it something that will be used to take Loki down with it if he tries to escape?

Honestly, looking at the two brothers, Tony and his friends even started to regret believing Sherlock's words and foolishly following them.

Fortunately, Thor's greeting attracted Sherlock's attention, causing him to come out of the projection room.

The enemies, seeing each other again, were filled with hatred and immediately pounced on Sherlock to take revenge. Black Widow was responsible for stopping the bewildered Thor, while Captain America and Tony Stark each grabbed Sherlock's arm and ankle, twisting him like a pretzel.

After Sherlock's repeated pleas for mercy that "it's going to break," the trio finally released Sherlock. After playing around for a while, they briefly explained the current situation to Sherlock before turning their attention to Loki.

Clearly, Sherlock was not surprised by Loki's appearance, which means that Sherlock knows far more than they do.

And indeed, that was the case. After Sherlock briefly told the three of them what had happened in Asgard and why Odin and his wife had come to Earth, Tony and the others began to look at Sherlock with increasingly strange eyes.

How should I put it? It has a very Sherlock Holmes-esque style.

As for Loki now being the regent of Asgard, Tony and the others didn't say much about it.

It's not that they don't want to care, but that they can't. After all, it's Asgard's business, and it has nothing to do with them, Earthlings.

Naturally, as former rivals, Tony and his crew wouldn't give Loki a friendly look.

In contrast to Loki's treatment, Thor, the four of them who hadn't seen each other for a long time, immediately started chattering away. Thor showed off his new hammer to Tony and the others while complaining about Sherlock's original arrangements, leading them into the screening room.

They completely ignored Sherlock, who had just sat up on the ground, and Loki, who was also looking at them with a cold expression.

Loki stood in front of Sherlock, who had just stood up, blocking his way, only after the four of them had entered the projection room.

Looking at Loki, who stood in front of him with a serious expression, Sherlock raised an eyebrow slightly and looked in Loki's direction with some confusion.

"what?"

"Is there nothing you can do about Odin's matter?"

In response to Sherlock's question, Loki frowned and asked his own question.

In the past, Loki might not have cared about Odin's life or death, but now, after spending some time with Odin and actually sitting in that position in Asgard, Loki has come to understand Odin's actions to some extent.

Naturally, Loki, who already harbored complex feelings for Odin, no longer wanted Odin to die.

Stopping Sherlock was just Loki's last struggle.

You noticed?

Sherlock looked at Loki with some surprise, only to be met with undisguised disdain on Loki's face.
