Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

But the Ancient One seemed to have anticipated Odin's reaction, and gave Sherlock a knowing look, clearly indicating that Sherlock should demonstrate.

Sherlock was truly unceremonious. After casually pulling Doro out of his clothes, he immediately demonstrated to Odin what it meant to make something happen with a clap of his hand.

As Sherlock moved, dozens of Roman columns rose from the ground in the once spacious hall in an instant. By the time the columns stopped, they had already blended into the entire hall.

However, what Sherlock didn't notice was that when he pulled Doro out of his clothes, Odin, the king of the gods, looked at Sherlock with a hint of shock and understanding.

After Sherlock added dozens of Roman columns to both sides of the hall, Odin paid no attention to the newly erected columns. Instead, he stared intently at Doro, who was hiding behind Sherlock and watching everything curiously, and asked Sherlock a question.

"You're actually capable of life transmutation?"

???

Having just completed his renovation project of the Asgardian palace hall, Sherlock had three question marks popping up in his head when he heard Odin's words. Following Odin's gaze to Doro hiding behind him, Sherlock finally understood what life transmutation meant.

Isn't it just human transmutation?

Sherlock thought it was something serious.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing that he possessed the Philosopher's Stone, Sherlock would have even restored his arm; human transmutation was a simple matter.

Of course, Sherlock would never say this to Odin. Sherlock simply picked up Doro and looked at Odin, who was sitting on the throne, with some wariness.

But what happened next clearly exceeded Sherlock's expectations.

Although Sherlock did not reply, Odin was certain of his guess after seeing Sherlock pick up Doro and Doro's dependence on Sherlock.

After confirming his guess, Odin actually stood up from his throne, bowed slightly to Sherlock, and then spoke to him.

"Honorable Alchemist, Asgard always welcomes you and your creations. In Asgard, you will be the most honored guest."

???

Seeing Odin's respectful demeanor, Sherlock, who was holding Doro, had three more question marks appear above his head. Sherlock even felt that he had used up all the questions he had in his life in the hall of the Asgardian palace.

Unlike Sherlock, the Ancient One showed no surprise whatsoever, her face displaying a confident smile throughout.

Seeing the smile on the Ancient One's face, Odin instantly understood what she meant and said to Thor beside him.

"Thor, take your mentor on a tour of Asgard. Make sure you treat your mentor well!"

Now that he knows Sherlock's identity as an alchemist, Odin shamelessly confirms that Sherlock is Thor's mentor.

This time, it wasn't just Sherlock who was confused; even Thor had three question marks appearing above his head. So, the one who was being sarcastic just now wasn't Dad, was it?

Sherlock exchanged a questioning glance with Thor, only to see a clear, foolish question in Thor's eyes as well.

Seeing that Thor didn't move, Odin glared at him fiercely. Thor seemed to realize what was happening and, without saying a word, grabbed Sherlock's arm and dragged him, who was holding Doro, out of the hall.

Sherlock, however, wore a puzzled expression the entire time.

Honestly, Sherlock is starting to wonder if everyone in Asgard is insane. This Odin is completely different from the one in the movies, always jumping around like a madman.

Sherlock really didn't want to leave the scene, but Thor, though not very intelligent, was incredibly strong. If Sherlock didn't use human enhancement techniques, he really couldn't overpower Thor. He could only watch helplessly as the hall doors closed behind him with longing eyes.

As for why not ask Saul what exactly happened?

Just kidding, look at Solna's clear yet foolish eyes, tell me, does this thing look like it can know the truth?

Besides, why ask Thor, an illiterate man, when there are so many people in Asgard to ask?

Chapter 99 Anyone who has ever read a book wouldn't be so clear-headed and foolish.

Sherlock's statement that Thor was illiterate was not entirely unfounded. In fact, to be more precise, calling Thor illiterate was an insult to the word "illiterate."

The story begins when Thor forcibly dragged Sherlock, who was holding Doro, out of the hall.

After Thor dragged Sherlock out while he was holding Doro, the blockhead Thor actually carried out Odin's order to treat him well, and the first thing he asked Sherlock was...

"My best friend, my dear mentor, do you wish to go and see Asgard?"

Honestly, if he could, Sherlock was more curious about what was happening inside the tightly closed hall. After all, he really wanted to know why these Asgardians had such expressions after learning that he was an alchemist.

However, looking at the tightly closed door behind him, and Thor standing in front of him with a clear yet foolish expression, despite his burly build, Sherlock finally gave up the idea of ​​eavesdropping.

Of course, Sherlock was really not polite. After hearing Thor's words, Sherlock even confirmed them with Thor.

"Is anywhere okay?"

"Of course, you are a distinguished guest appointed by my father and my mentor. You can go wherever you want, and I can take you there!"

Thor answered without the slightest hesitation, his face full of certainty, even pride, as if there was nothing in Asgard that could be considered a secret to him.

Seeing Thor's proud, sullen neck, Sherlock stopped being polite and, with a mischievous grin, made his request to Thor.

"If possible, I'd like to see Asgard's energy core, or even just the energy circuits that sustain Asgard."

After hearing Sherlock's words, Thor's smug expression instantly turned blank, and his expression towards Sherlock gradually changed as Sherlock spoke.

()？ ？ ？

To put it simply, Thor recognized every single word and letter in Sherlock's words, but when put together, Thor couldn't understand what Sherlock was trying to do at all.

As Sherlock watched Thor's expression gradually become blank, several large question marks slowly floated up above his head.

Seriously, Sherlock originally thought Thor was just a little simple-minded, but now he sees Thor as nothing more than a hammer whose brain is filled with muscles!

Seriously, calling Thor illiterate is an understatement. If he could even write his own name, Sherlock would think Odin's education was truly amazing.

After all, this thing doesn't look like it has read a book or been exposed to knowledge.

Sherlock has certainly broadened his horizons. Sometimes, Sherlock really wants to crack open Thor's head to see if it's as smooth as a koala's.

Over the years, Sherlock has seen all sorts of power struggles between fathers and sons, but this is the first time he's ever seen a prince who doesn't know his own family well!

No, is this fucking right?

It's like when your friend buys a luxury car, and you go to his house to see it, you say, "Look at this luxury car's V8 engine," and he looks at you with an innocent expression and asks you a question.

What is a V8 engine?

The feeling when you look at the blue license plate on the front of the car and then at your friend's innocent face is exactly the same.

Seriously, if Sherlock were Odin, he'd probably have started a new character long ago if he encountered a 'treasure' like Thor, or even just passed the throne to Loki. Imagine if that guy were sitting on the throne of Asgard.

Forget about whether Asgard can continue to exist; the whole of Asgard will probably become the biggest source of amusement in the universe.

"Sherlock, can you explain...?"

After being stared at with that strange look by Sherlock for a long time, Thor's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom. After holding back for a while, he finally managed to open his mouth, wanting Sherlock to explain what he meant by what he just said, but Sherlock directly raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Stop talking, continuing will only expose your lack of culture!"

After a helpless sigh, Sherlock said to Thor with some despair, repeatedly pondering in his mind where there might be other places in Asgard that Thor knew of that could be of benefit to him.

Just as Sherlock was racking his brains trying to figure out where he should go for a proper 'visit', he felt a gentle tug on his collar.

Looking down, he saw Doro tugging at Sherlock's collar, looking somewhat aggrieved, and saying something to Sherlock in a pitiful tone.

"Human~, Doro is a little hungry, Doro wants to eat some delicious Orenji."

As Doro said this, his little belly made a rumbling sound in perfect unison.

Hearing Doro's words, and looking at Thor with his clear yet foolish eyes, Sherlock finally sighed helplessly, gave up his idea of ​​'gaining knowledge', and turned to Thor instead.

"Fine, take me to a place you often go to relax, where there's plenty of Asgardian fruit."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Thor's eyes finally stopped looking so clear and foolish, and he began to lower his head and think.

Sherlock's words were automatically translated into two conditions in Thor's mind.

"Would it be relaxing and have plenty of fruit? I've got it! Sherlock, come quick, come with me!"

Without saying another word, Thor grabbed Sherlock and ran out of the palace. After pulling Sherlock onto a vehicle that looked like an Asgardian electric scooter, Thor floored the gas pedal almost without hesitation and sped off towards the distance from the palace.

Half an hour later.

In a pool filled with steam and the aroma of medicine, Sherlock soaked in the water, utterly exhausted. He rested his head on the edge of the pool, staring at the ornate ceiling, silently pondering why things had turned out this way.

Thor sat not far from Sherlock, carefully wiping Meowth Hammer, which was also soaking in the pool, with a towel. He looked as if Meowth Hammer was his real girlfriend and Jane was just a mistress.

As for Doro, well, Doro's belly was bulging at the moment, and he was floating on the pool, silently digesting the Asgardian-style fruit feast he had just enjoyed.

Well, the place Thor found did indeed perfectly meet all of Sherlock's requirements.

First of all, this place is indeed relaxing enough, and it's Thor's favorite place to relax.

Secondly, Doro can indeed eat as much fruit as he wants here.

But Sherlock really wanted to ask, what kind of idiot in the world would take a 'foreign guest' like Sherlock to a bathhouse in Northeast China?

Most importantly, this is a genuine diplomatic-level 'foreign guest'!

No, is this fucking right?

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was deeply shocked!

Chapter 100 Odin's Unfortunate Later Years

Well, while Thor's act of taking his guests to bathe was somewhat outrageous, the good news is that at least he didn't take Sherlock to bathe, so it could be considered somewhat plausible.

Of course, despite not understanding it, Sherlock and Doro still thoroughly enjoyed their bathing trip.

After all, before Sherlock transmigrated, his greatest hobby as a cow or horse was taking a bath. Even after transmigrating, because the Ukrainian people didn't have a bathing culture, Sherlock built a small bathhouse in his house.

Even Zhao Weike fell in love with taking baths, and Helen affectionately called the Sherlock family's bathhouse "the boys' private domain."

As for Doro, he's flesh and blood that fell from Sherlock's body, so naturally he loves such things just as deeply.

To be honest, the bathhouses in Asgard really exceeded Sherlock's expectations. Their luxury goes without saying, but what delighted Sherlock the most was that they even had the same 'human skin polishing service' as the bathhouses in Northeast China before he traveled there.

Abbreviated as scrubbing.

After enjoying a long-awaited knee polishing session, Sherlock also took a look at this Asgardian bathhouse.

If you don't look closely, you'll be fine, but if you do, Sherlock almost dropped his jaw.

Almost everything in this bathhouse is derived from alchemy or magical technology. Whether it's the lion-shaped faucet that keeps spraying water or the showerhead, they are all essentially alchemical devices.

The most important use of these alchemical devices is actually to add some special active substances to the water!

Out of curiosity, Sherlock used his All Things Analyzer to analyze the substances in the water and the medicinal herbs soaking in it. To his surprise, he discovered that the water in this pool not only had a stronger ability to remove impurities than ordinary water, but also had the effect of repairing the body and delaying aging.

And this effect is very powerful!
