Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

The figure that rushed into Sherlock's arms was probably only the size of a medium-sized dog, its snow-white body looking like jelly, as if it had been hastily drawn.

But strangely enough, this messy, jelly-like body is topped with the head of a chibi-style anime girl with pink hair.

"Doro!"

Faced with the little toy that rushed into his arms, Sherlock hugged it tightly with delight, reached out and smeared it on a bun, and with a flash of red lightning, the bun instantly turned into an orange.

"Ou Runji!!"

The moment the orange appeared, Doro's face instantly turned into that of a drooling little glutton, his two short white hands reaching upwards to grab the orange from Sherlock's hand.

After teasing the puppy Doro in his arms, Sherlock handed the orange to Doro, looked up at the Ancient One, stroked Doro's bouncy head, and raised an eyebrow at the Ancient One beside him.

"Isn't it cute?"

Gu Yi was momentarily silent in response, even feeling as if she had grown old and couldn't keep up with the thinking of young people. After all, what kind of good person would use their own body to refine something that could barely be called a living being?

Of course, Sherlock would never tell the Ancient One that the reason he tried so-called human transmutation was really to see the "truth," since only by facing the "truth" could Sherlock quickly improve his alchemy skills.

This can be considered a somewhat unorthodox cultivation method.

As for Doro, it was a work that was born unexpectedly after seeing and talking to "Truth".

After all, the price has already been paid and the materials have been prepared. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, it would be a real pity if nothing was made from it.

The reason for choosing Doro is quite simple: by human standards, Doro is a true "monster," making him one of the few "failed successes" among Sherlock's alchemy creations.

It is precisely because of this that Doro is often taken to Kamar-Taj by the Ancient One under the guise of research and warning, and is used as a "failure case" to frighten the sorcerers.

Of course, Sherlock didn't know whether he was really trying to scare his disciple or if he took him back to masturbate himself. After all, Sherlock had been a shut-in at home for five years, and his heart was almost entirely devoted to alchemy.

Seeing the Ancient One's lips twitching, Sherlock put Doro, who had just finished eating an orange, on the ground and let Doro run and play in the study before looking in the direction of the Ancient One.

"Alright, Ancient One, let's get down to business. Don't tell me you only came here to bring me breakfast."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, the Ancient One stopped her twitching lips, reached out and grabbed at the air, and something that looked like a spear appeared in her hand.

The spear was about the height of a person, with a silver spearhead as long as an arm, engraved with intricate patterns. The shaft of the spear, however, was blood red and covered with golden cracks.

"The Spear of Saint Longinus, I beg you to fix it!"

As she spoke, the Ancient One laid the spear flat and slowly pushed it toward Sherlock. Surprisingly, the spear did not fall to the ground after leaving the Ancient One's hand, but floated in mid-air and slowly moved toward Sherlock.

Seeing this, Sherlock was extremely surprised. He snapped his fingers, and the unfinished breakfast on the table disappeared without a trace. Sherlock hurriedly took the spear floating in mid-air and carefully placed it on his table, beginning to examine it with alchemy.

After a long while, Sherlock gasped and looked up at the Ancient One with an incredulous expression.

"Karmar-Taj is truly a powerful and wealthy place; you even have such a magical artifact?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, the Ancient One's smile became even more mysterious, her eyes filled with amusement as she teased Sherlock.

"So, are you really not interested in becoming the Sorcerer Supreme? If you agree, all the treasures of Kamar-Taj are yours!"

Hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned back to his research on the Spear of St. Longinus.

Seeing Sherlock's reaction, the Ancient One wasn't angry. She just chuckled and shook her head, then casually pulled out two bags of oranges from the void and handed them to Doro, who had run over. Only then did she reopen the portal and prepare to leave.

This scene naturally did not escape Sherlock's notice. As he looked at the spear, Sherlock's lips twitched. The case was solved. The Ancient One had definitely taken Doro back and masturbated to him herself.

What the hell is this "typical case"? If you like Doro, just say so! Why come up with all these dubious reasons?

Seemingly sensing the light from the portal, Sherlock did not turn around, his gaze remaining fixed on the spear on the table, but his voice reached the Ancient One's ears.

"Ancient One, aren't you really afraid I'll disappear with this artifact?"

Hearing Sherlock's words, Gu Yi showed no emotional fluctuation on her face and spoke to Sherlock without turning her head.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you after it's fixed!"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock suddenly raised his head to look at the Ancient One who was walking towards the portal, his face seemingly filled with disbelief.

"So generous?"

It's no wonder Sherlock was so surprised. After all, in the past five years, Sherlock had only ever mooched meals and tea from the Ancient One. This was the first time Sherlock had ever seen anything like a "magical artifact" or "divine weapon."

Of course, the Eye of Agamotto on the Ancient One's chest doesn't count!

Faced with Sherlock's surprise, the Ancient One calmly replied to him.

"The times are about to go mad, Sherlock. Compared to Kamar-Taj, you are undoubtedly the one who needs it more!"

At this point, the Ancient One stopped, turned around and glanced at Sherlock through the portal before smiling and saying...

"Moreover, I have observed you for five years and I believe you will not allow such a divine artifact to be disgraced! Sherlock, the future is always in your hands. Consider this artifact Kamar-Taj's investment in your future self."

After saying that, the Ancient One closed the portal almost without hesitation, leaving Sherlock alone staring blankly at the spot where the portal had disappeared. After a long while, he pointed at the spot where the portal had disappeared and started cursing.

"Get the riddle-riddler off this planet! I'm just an ordinary salted fish! Nobody can disturb my peaceful life!"
