Astor stayed for a few more days in Yingland rather than leave immediately. Alder did so mainly to learn from the Queen and use the opportunity to find out as much about the invincibilis state as he could.
On the other hand, the Queen did not attempt to hide anything from him. She showed her goodwill by sharing her knowledge to Astor, which benefited him immensely.
Other than that, Astor stayed so he could provide guidance to Alice. After all, strictly speaking, it was he who changed Alice’s life, so he had to bear the responsibility of showing her the way.
Alder did so because of his personality, and it was his duty in View of his previous actions.
Most importantly, it was part of a deal between him and the Queen.
Astor had also learned more about the Order of the Reverence. Alder discovered the order was truly an evil organization. The leader of the club was known as Evilasius and was an extremely malicious man.
Alder was at the peak of Level-1 invincibilis and not even the Queen was a match for him.
The Queen reminded Astor that the Order of the Reverence had already taken notice of him. They would certainly make a move against him, so he would have to be on guard at all times.
There was still some disparity between Astor’s current capabilities and Evilasius. If the club’s leader were to confront him personally, Astor would certainly lose!
Astor was well aware of that, so he exercised caution.
Moreover, he had also engaged in isolated training.
Alder was preparing to reach the invincibilis state!
Alder knew that it would be arduous, but he had to give it a try regardless.
It felt just like a poisonous snake had its aim on him in the dark, staring at him closely. It would slither out when he was caught off guard and give him a fatal strike!
Alder found the feeling of being watched by someone very uneasy.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Astor was still in Yingland. More accurately, he was still in the Queen’s residence, engaging in isolated training in preparation for reaching the invincibilis state.
In time, Alice took the position of crown princess with the Queen’s help. No matter how displeased people were about it, they would not have the courage to act rashly with the Queen monitoring things.
The act of training for invincibilis was definitely not an easy feat for Astor.
Alder relaxed his body and mind according to the Queen’s guidance and entered a meditative state.
However, he found that he was still incapable of locating the threshold of invincibilis.
It was a very unpleasant feeling. Alder was already standing at the threshold, yet he could not locate its exact position. At one point, it made him doubt if the threshold actually existed.
Another half a month passed, but Astor still did not manage to enter invincibilis. Alder had only managed to strengthen his current state.
A faint golden glint flashed past his eyes when he reopened them. Alder was in high spirits and bursting with energy like a hurricane sweeping through the entire residence.
Indeed, his body had conjured a real gust of wind and blew apart the tiny room.
Alder was very embarrassed that he had destroyed the Queen’s residence.
The Queen happened to be right next to him, and there was a bit of frustration on her face.
Astor scratched his head and said shyly, “Uh, Your Majesty, I’m sorry I couldn’t control…”
