Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 99 Odin's Strange Attitude

Faced with Odin's sarcastic and direct address, Sherlock, who was already somewhat broken, shattered even more completely.

However, the Ancient One ignored Odin's sarcastic tone and instantly teleported Sherlock to her side with a wave of her hand, pointing at Sherlock and saying...

"Before we get down to business, I think it's necessary for me to introduce this prince's mentor," said Sherlock Flamel, an alchemist from Earth!

As the Ancient One uttered the last four words, the entire hall fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even Odin, sitting on his throne, instinctively widened his single eye. All eyes were fixed on the boy who seemed to have been shattered into pieces.

Sherlock was currently in a state of "whatever" and giving up, but after listening to the Ancient One's explanation, he quickly realized something was wrong.

Why did the room become so quiet after the Ancient One finished introducing herself?

Sherlock opened his tightly closed eyes, his head full of questions, wanting to see what was happening. However, after seeing the scene, the question marks in Sherlock's head became even more numerous.

The reason is simple: whether it was Odin sitting on the throne or the officials standing in the hall, almost everyone stared at Sherlock after hearing his identity as an alchemist.

Especially the officials standing below, some of them even unconsciously slowed their breathing, as if afraid of frightening Sherlock. Their eyes, apart from disbelief, were filled with nothing but greed as they looked at Sherlock.

???

Upon witnessing this scene, three large question marks slowly floated above Sherlock's head as he carefully recalled the process by which the Ancient One had introduced herself.

Sherlock wondered if there was something wrong with it.

This unusual scene even made Sherlock himself somewhat insecure, completely unaware of what had happened.

Aside from Sherlock, who was completely clueless, only Thor, the dim-witted blond, was unaware of what was happening.

"An alchemist?"

After a long while, Odin seemed to finally realize what was happening. His single eye scanned Sherlock repeatedly, as if he couldn't believe that the young man before him was an alchemist.

"How can you prove it?"

After watching Sherlock for a while, Odin finally spoke to the Ancient One and asked her a question.

Although it was a question directed at the Ancient One, it instantly ignited Sherlock's short temper.

Who are you talking to? Do I need to prove to you whether I'm an alchemist or not?

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. Be sure to give your mentor a good welcome!"

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 Thor what his situation is?

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?
