Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 74 The Zhang Family's Daily Life

Sherlock spent nearly half a month analyzing the Destroyer Armor, and then spent almost another week modifying it for himself, along with the Spear of Longinus and Doro's miniature Mjolnir.

Having wasted nearly a month, Sherlock had to abandon his original road trip plans and, after saying goodbye to Tony, used the Anywhere Door to return to his home in New York.

Helen and Zhao Weike were exceptionally welcoming of Sherlock's return. On the very night Sherlock returned home, Helen prepared a lavish feast to celebrate his return.

At the dinner table, Doro showed off his new toy. Helen's eyes lit up when she saw Doro wearing a mini Iron Man suit and Doro transformed into a mini Thor.

Well, Doro's ability to switch between transformations at will even gave Helen the feeling that she had bought the all-powerful Anya. After all, in the figure collecting world, if you're talking about who's the best cosplayer, there's probably no one else besides Anya.

Anyway, Helen grew to like Doro more and more, and would often run to her friends with Doro in his armor to show him off.

After all, at this time, Tony's Iron Man is a well-known superhero throughout the United States, frequently active in the Middle East and in the United States to save lives. In addition, Tony is a real person, and his reputation as a former celebrity in tabloid news has made Tony's Iron Man almost universally known.

That's why, whenever Doro's mini Iron Man suit, made by Tony, is shown, combined with Doro's adorable appearance, it almost immediately attracts a lot of envious glances.

Helen became an absolute celebrity among her friends thanks to Doro.

As for Sherlock and Zhao Weike, these two grown men didn't seem to have any particular thoughts about it. Zhao Weike continued to be a stay-at-home husband, and Helen was still picked up and dropped off by car.

Sherlock returned to the state he was in when he first traveled through time, sleeping in until he naturally woke up every day, then studying alchemy, and occasionally taking Doro and Helen's family out shopping and sightseeing.

The only change that could be described as was when Helen and Zhao Weike saw Sherlock's three-bedroom, two-living-room 6x6 Raptor and were so envious they were practically drooling.

In the end, after Helen pleaded for a long time, Sherlock finally agreed to help Helen build one as well.

Of course, the car to be modified couldn't be the Mustang that Helen had given Zhao Weike. For this reason, Zhao Weike had to bring back a spacious Cadillac Escalade for Helen, which was both exciting and painful.

To everyone's delight, after Sherlock's modifications, the Emperor Bathhouse also gained the space of a three-bedroom apartment without compromising its performance, bringing about an unexpected change to Zhao Weike and Helen's lives.

The two began to look forward to the road trip.

The painful thing is that Zhao Weike's wallet has been reduced again. After all, Zhao Weike needs to spend his own money to buy both the vehicle and the furniture inside. He can't keep taking advantage of Sherlock, can he?

Although Sherlock could indeed conveniently use his alchemy to help Zhao Weike solve the furniture problem.

Of course, the main reason was that Zhao Weike was too embarrassed to ask Sherlock to make a set of furniture for him, because Helen had a strong desire for a fireplace in the three-bedroom apartment in the car.

Sherlock nearly pulled his hair out of his head before he managed to solve many problems, including flame erosion, fire prevention, smoke extraction, ventilation, and prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning, while ensuring the vehicle's shape.

Zhao Weike was really too embarrassed to ask Sherlock to make him another set of furniture.

Fortunately, the outcome was good, everything was perfect, Helen's bathing emperor was perfect, the only thing that suffered a blow was Zhao Weike's retirement money.

After Sherlock completed his transformation, and just as Sherlock and Zhao Weike had agreed to take a short trip together, the Ancient One visited Sherlock and made him personally experience what it meant to be the supreme sorcerer (god).

Watching the Ancient One emerge from the sparking portal, Sherlock even felt a bit of PTSD, since the last time the Ancient One came, he had been tricked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sights.

After that came the troubles of rescuing Tony, fighting enemies, analyzing the Mjolnir, and stealing the armor. Although he gained a lot, it also left Sherlock extremely exhausted.

So when the Ancient One reappeared in his house, Sherlock's first reaction was to be on guard.

"Boss! What are you up to now?"

The Ancient One had just emerged from the portal when Sherlock scooped up Doro and held him in his arms, looking warily at the smiling Ancient One.

Seeing Sherlock's wary expression, the Ancient One didn't react much, but simply shrugged helplessly at Sherlock before speaking.

"Don't worry, this time it's a good thing. You probably know what Loki and Thor did on Earth. I'm going to Asgard to talk to Odin about what they did on Earth."

Ancient One spoke in an unusually calm tone, but to Sherlock, her words automatically transformed into the statement, "I'm going to get revenge!"

Hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock admired her fortitude, but also felt inexplicably guilty. He looked away and asked the Ancient One a question.

"so what?"

"I plan to take you, the only alchemist on Earth, with me! Most of Asgard's magical civilization consists of alchemical creations, and even Asgard itself is a massive alchemical creation. Aren't you tempted?"

The Ancient One's words were like the whispers of a demon, constantly stirring Sherlock's heartstrings. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted, but as for whether Sherlock dared to go, the answer was definitely no!

You stole someone's things, and now you're not only taking me, the thief, to settle scores, but you also want compensation?

I'm not some big shot like the Ancient One, just a lowly alchemist! What's the difference between this and me slapping you and expecting you to thank me?

Hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock's guilty conscience grew even more pronounced. After hesitating for a long time, Sherlock finally spoke to the Ancient One somewhat stiffly.

"Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, I still prefer to live my own simple life. Asgard and all that, it's all just fluff, fluff!"

Hearing Sherlock's words, which sounded like self-comfort or making excuses for himself, the Ancient One's smile became even more amused. Seeing Sherlock's guilty expression, she opened her mouth and asked.

"What? Is it because of the Destroyer Armor that you're afraid to go?"

!!!

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the Ancient One standing before him with a half-smile. His face flushed red as he struggled to speak for a long time before finally managing to utter a single sentence.

"You found out?"

Faced with Sherlock's question, the Ancient One's smile was calm yet playful as she spoke to Sherlock.

"Of course I know, but it was Admiral Kizaru who stole the armor. What does that have to do with you, Sherlock? I, the ancient marshal, am not dead yet, so what are you worried about?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock's guilty conscience deepened, and he even looked somewhat embarrassed.

Question: What should I do if the person behind my back not only finds out about me, but also calls me out on it to my face?

Seeing Sherlock's awkward posture, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet, Gu Yi rolled her eyes at him and said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't make up such outrageous stories next time. Just wait at home. I'll come find you when it's almost time and take you to Asgard."

After she finished speaking, Sherlock didn't see the portal open, but the Ancient One's figure simply disappeared before Sherlock's eyes.
