Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 106 Super Seniority!

Seeing Thor's extremely aggrieved expression, Sherlock's lips twitched involuntarily. He had a lot of complaints in his mind that he couldn't bring himself to say, but he was also holding them in.

All he could do was hold Doro while scanning the family of three around him with his eyes, desperately trying to figure out what to say next.

After all, this situation was far too complicated; even Sherlock, who had lived two lifetimes combined, had only encountered such a situation once.

Odin, however, noticed Sherlock's predicament and stood up, holding the Spear of Eternity, and addressed Sherlock.

"Mr. Flamel, may we speak privately?"

Before Sherlock could respond to Odin's words, Frigga, true to her long-standing relationship with Odin, immediately understood his meaning after he spoke.

With a smile, he stood up and went to Sherlock's side, subtly taking Doro from Sherlock's arms in an almost imperceptible manner.

She even had time to give Thor, who was standing to the side looking extremely aggrieved, a look, signaling Thor to stay there and that she would have something to say to him later.

Sherlock stared in disbelief at the couple's coordinated actions, finding no way to refuse them. He could only let things unfold as Odin led him away from Frigga's bedchamber.

It wasn't until Odin closed the doors of Frigg's palace again that Sherlock somewhat came to his senses, but by then Odin had already regained his divine authority, leaving Sherlock speechless.

"Mr. Flamel, I'm sorry to have caused you some trouble. Frigga and I are getting old, and in our twilight years, we have an unconscious fondness for a pure and clean new life like Doro. Please don't mind, Mr. Flamel. My wife and I have no other thoughts about Doro."

Odin explained something to Sherlock, who, upon hearing this, inwardly grimaced but outwardly maintained his persona as he addressed Odin.

"Mr. Odin, please just call me Sherlock. I don't mind these little things, and I know you really love Doro."

Although he said that, Sherlock was cursing in his heart. Damn it, if he hadn't arrived in time, Doro would probably have already obtained the godhood of Asgard.

Although Sherlock knew that Odin and Frigga mostly felt a kind of grandparental affection for Doro, it still made Sherlock somewhat unhappy.

Odin wasn't stupid. Although Sherlock spoke frankly, if Odin put himself in her shoes, he could understand what Sherlock was really thinking.

However, Odin did not continue on this topic, but instead changed the subject and intended to make up for Sherlock's shortcomings elsewhere.

After listening to Sherlock's words, Odin nodded before continuing to speak to Sherlock.

"In that case, I'll just call you Sherlock. You're Thor's personally acknowledged mentor, so we should treat each other as equals. If you don't mind, you can also call me by my name."

???

Upon hearing Odin's words, Sherlock looked at Odin with a puzzled expression. To be honest, Sherlock was completely unprepared for such a formidable senior.

However, it was clear that Odin had been prepared for this all along.

Odin did not give Sherlock a chance to refute, and continued speaking to Sherlock.

"After a week in the palace library, you should now understand just how popular your identity as an alchemist is throughout the universe. Even everything in Asgard today is nothing more than imitations of alchemical magic."

After a pause, Odin continued speaking to Sherlock with a hint of helplessness.

"And you should also be able to see from the library's materials that Asgard's cultural heritage was severed because of my warlike nature when I was young."

Although Asgard may appear prosperous on the surface, it is actually riddled with problems, a fact that you, as an alchemist, should know better than anyone.

Upon hearing Odin's words, Sherlock sneered inwardly. Just like when he realized in the library that he had been tricked by the Ancient One, Odin had now revealed his true colors.

However, Sherlock was not going to agree to Odin's request so easily. Although Sherlock really wanted to analyze the energy core of Asgard and see the energy loop of the Bifrost in Asgard with his own eyes.

After all, blueprints and reality are not the same, and understanding from paper is far from being comparable to seeing with your own eyes.

"I regret to inform you, Mr. Odin, that although I am an alchemist, my abilities are ultimately limited. If I were to rely solely on myself to maintain the entire Asgard over the remaining three weeks, it would be nothing short of a pipe dream."

Sherlock's words are quite clear in meaning, and can be translated into just two words.

benefit!

Sherlock, being an alchemist, already has the blueprints and even understands the principles clearly. Can't he quickly repair Asgard?

In reality, it is possible, and not only is it possible, it is also very simple.

To put it bluntly, as long as the alchemy circle is large enough, repairing Asgard is not a problem at all. The only questions are whether Odin dares to let him do it, and what gives him the right to do it.

The reason why some people dare to do this is quite simple. One example will make it clear: the formation of a nation.

With Sherlock's abilities, plus the Philosopher's Stone hidden in his left eye, Sherlock is fully capable of turning the transmutation circle that repairs Asgard into a land transmutation circle under extremely concealed circumstances, ultimately turning the entire Asgard into a blood-red stone.

It remains to be seen whether Odin dares to take the gamble and have Sherlock repair it.

But then again, why would Sherlock help Asgard with its maintenance? Why would he do something so thankless and exhausting?

What? You mean the Destroyer armor?

Don't be ridiculous. When Sherlock was forced to dismount the armor, the Ancient One had already made it clear to him that the armor was compensation for the incident caused by Odin exiling Thor to Earth!

Even if the value of the armor itself already exceeds the value of the compensation, the fact that the Ancient One repaired the Rainbow Bridge would be enough to offset the value of the armor.

Do you really think these big shots are so easily fooled? It's no exaggeration to say that almost every step these big shots take is calculated!

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, he ultimately underestimated Odin's boldness and the value of the Ancient One's guarantee.

After hearing Sherlock's words, Odin smiled and then spoke to Sherlock.

"No, Sherlock, you still underestimate the power of alchemy. I believe you can maintain the entire Asgard in the remaining three weeks, and during the maintenance period, you can directly mobilize all the resources of Asgard."
