Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 97 The Alchemist's Asgardian Encounters (Part 2)

The Ancient One was perfectly aware of Sherlock's little scheme, but she chose not to say anything and instead spoke to Heimdall beside her.

"Sorcerer Supreme, thank you for coming. Asgard will always be your friend."

Despite Heimdall's compliments, the Ancient One maintained a mysterious smile and did not respond to them.

Led by Heimdall, the three quickly arrived at the place where the Rainbow Bridge had been broken by Thor. Under Sherlock's watchful gaze, the Eye of Agamotto on the Ancient One's chest shone brightly with green light, and a magic circle composed of mysterious magical runes appeared on the Ancient One's arm.

As the Ancient One twisted her arm, the Rainbow Bridge, which had been broken, began to recover rapidly, as if time had reversed.

In just a few breaths, the Rainbow Bridge returned to its original state, and the seven-colored light reappeared in the glass-like bridge surface.

Such brilliance made Sherlock even more eager to see the rainbow bridge beneath his feet.

In Sherlock's eyes, the Rainbow Bridge, now restored to its original state, was even more breathtaking than any beautiful woman in the world. Most importantly, even without activating the All-Encompassing Analysis, Sherlock could clearly perceive or see the vast and complex energy circuits within the Rainbow Bridge beneath his feet.

This made Sherlock even more eager for the so-called alchemy of Asgard, and this anticipation even overshadowed his fear of seeing Odin, his nemesis.

As the Ancient One finished repairing the Rainbow Bridge beneath her feet, the green light of the Time Stone immediately faded away. Heimdall expressed his gratitude to the Ancient One the moment the Time Stone's light disappeared.

"Thank you for your help. Asgard will never forget your assistance."

The Ancient One didn't react to Heimdall's words, but simply waved her hand dismissively. This made Heimdall's expression somewhat awkward, but he couldn't say anything more and could only continue leading the Ancient One towards Asgard.

Soon the group arrived at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, and Asgard was truly revealed to Sherlock.

Well, compared to the Rainbow Bridge, the residential area of ​​Asgard didn't really amaze Sherlock; it just felt very novel to him.

The architecture, so different from anything on Earth, and the unique vehicles of Asgard, a magical civilization, drew Sherlock's attention frequently, but not to the point of curiosity.

Or to be more precise, Sherlock's feelings towards it were more of a sense of novelty and wonder.

At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, people were already prepared to welcome the Ancient One. Amidst the surprised looks of those welcoming people, Sherlock pulled Doro out of his four-dimensional pocket, and carrying Doro, followed the Ancient One onto this Asgardian vehicle. Then, under the introduction of the minister, it headed towards the palace.

Along the way, Sherlock kept observing the scenery outside, and Asgard gave Sherlock a strange feeling.

How to describe it? It has a feeling of classical and futuristic coexistence.

Above, there are floating, hovering vehicles, while on the ground, people wear ancient clothing and live their lives with smiles on their faces, holding the most basic pottery jars and the like.

Even their living arrangements are somewhat divided.

Some people live in high-rise buildings, while others live in the most traditional stone houses of Asgard, giving people a magical and absurd feeling, as if everything is so normal yet not so normal.

The feeling of being torn apart gradually disappeared as the so-called means of transportation drew closer to the palace in Asgard.

Sherlock also discovered that the closer he got to the magnificent palace, which seemed to be made of gold, the more modern, or rather, technologically advanced, the surrounding environment became.

However, in a short while, Sherlock figured out what had caused this.

Simply put, Asgard is still a feudal dynasty in nature. The closer to the palace, the more nobles live there, and naturally, the more luxurious it becomes.

When the vehicle stopped at the palace gates, Sherlock's guess was immediately confirmed.

The attire of the officials standing at the palace gates to greet the guests, whether armor or ordinary clothes, was far superior to that of the commoners who had just descended the Rainbow Bridge.

Of course, the so-called "commoners" were dressed just as well; it's just that the "nobles" were dressed more luxuriously.

After exchanging a few words with the men dressed as officials with a forced smile, Gu Yi was led by them into the palace.

Perhaps it was because Sherlock's attire clashed with the Ancient One's, or perhaps because Sherlock always looked around with an air of ignorance, but clearly no one paid any attention to Sherlock, treating him merely as a junior apprentice following the Ancient One to broaden his horizons.

Sherlock was happy to have some peace and quiet. After letting Doro climb back into his clothes, he followed behind the Ancient One and watched her negotiate with the so-called "officials".

However, all of Sherlock's leisure and ease vanished the moment he entered the palace hall, which looked like it was used for holding court meetings.

The reason is simple: Sherlock saw Odin, the owner of the armor he stole.

Although Odin is now very old, with white hair and beard, and even the Spear of Eternity in his hand has become more like a cane than a weapon, Sherlock can still feel the violent power contained in Odin's aged body beneath his golden armor.

However, seeing Odin as a nemesis wasn't really a cause for concern for Sherlock. After all, the Ancient One was there to back him up, so if a fight broke out, Sherlock felt he could at least run away.

What truly worried Sherlock was the extremely excited greeting—or rather, salutation—from a blond man standing beneath Odin's throne after he entered the hall.

"Sherlock, my dearest friend, my revered mentor! Welcome to Asgard!"

As Sherlock entered the palace hall, the blond-haired man, who had been severely beaten by Odin after he woke up because of his embarrassing attire when he stopped Loki, looked at Sherlock with excitement and greeted him almost immediately.

Then, as if afraid that someone wouldn't recognize Sherlock, he excitedly ran towards Sherlock.

As Thor approached, the gazes of the Ancient One, Odin, and even all the officials of Asgard followed Thor's figure, gradually moving towards Sherlock, who was at the back of the procession.

At this moment, Sherlock truly wanted to shout to Thor what Catham had once wanted to say to him.

Don't you fucking come any closer!!!
