"Sister Tifa, there is no other way. Come with us. Basat has prepared the carriage. If you are willing, you can take the children who were rescued by Lithen with you. We... .We can only do what we can do.”

There was a hint of helplessness and regret in Eivor's voice.

Sometimes, that's just the way it goes.

In the torrent of fate, not everyone has the ability to be the fish that goes upstream.

The fate of more people will be swept forward by the torrent, and most of those who dare to stop and challenge fate will become victims crushed by fate.

Only a handful of people can become a tenacious reef in the torrent and resist the impact, but as time goes by, its original sharp edges will be smoothed away by the torrent.

"Child...Alice..."

Tifa remembered Lithen's instructions: Go back and take care of Alice and the others for me, I will be back.

She bit her lip tightly and her red eyes swayed slightly.

After several breaths, she finally made a decision.

"Let's go, take Alice and the others..." Tifa said weakly.

Now she seemed to have returned to six years ago, back to the fire.

At that time, she failed to protect the person she wanted to protect, and her parents are still missing.

And now she still fails to protect the children she wants to protect most...

This feeling of powerlessness surged through Tifa's body like a tide.

"Then let's go, I'll call those children out."

Eivor knew Tifa needed some time alone.

He sighed slightly, walked to each room, knocked on the door, called out the children inside, and explained the current situation to them.

"So now, you have to leave with us, do you understand? If you continue to stay here, you will be in danger. Even if you have slave marks on your body, it does not mean that the army will let you go." Eivor knelt down. , patiently explained to those children.

"What should he do?" Alice asked in a soft voice, her blue eyes as clear as lake water, "He won't be able to find us when he comes back."

Eivor choked, knowing that Alice was talking about Lithen.

Regarding Lithern's situation, they have never dared to tell the truth to these children.

According to the original plan, they should find enough manpower to go back to Viscount Arman's castle in these two days and rescue the people.

But now, with the arrival of the slave army, all is lost.

No one would be willing to take the risk with them to the Viscount Castle, let alone now, when everyone is in trouble and everyone is fleeing Farm City to avoid being captured and turned into slaves, who would care about that castle? Are the people inside dead or alive?

No more, it's all over.

No one will save Lisern, and judging from the gathering of rats and wild beasts in the castle, the people staying in the castle are probably in danger.

Lithen cannot be saved unless he can crawl out of that desperate situation on his own.

And these children, with the death of Lithern, may also lose their home again.

Eivor's eyes continued to fluctuate violently. After a while, he exhaled slightly, looked into Alice's eyes, and said seriously:

"Alice, do you know? Sometimes, when we want to reach a place, the path we take is not necessarily a straight line. Sometimes it is a curve, and sometimes we even have to look back, but the ultimate goal is to reach the destination."

"If we continue to stay here, we will be taken away by the slave army. Lithern will not be able to find us when he comes back. But if we successfully escape from here, we still have a chance to find him again. We can also stay Tell him where to find us. You have to believe that the separation is only temporary and you will meet again."

Eivor has read many books, and his mind is far more mature than he appears.

If it were directly told that Lithen was in a desperate situation, Alice didn't know how she would react.

In the current situation, we should first stabilize them and take the people away.

The rest can only wait until later.

"Okay." After thinking for a long time, Alice nodded gently.

In fact, they have no choice.

I had no choice but to do this if I didn't want to fall into the hands of the Order of Sloth again.

Eivor's persuasion, in the final analysis, only gave them some psychological comfort and made them feel too guilty about having to leave Lithen behind.

But giving hope to others and then destroying it is a cruel thing.

Eivor knew that if one day, these children found out the truth of the matter, they would definitely complain to him.

He didn't know why he had to waste so much time persuading and giving those children spiritual comfort.

He could have taken the person away without saying a word.

This reminded him that when he was a child, he had a hard-working sister who loved to take care of him.

His sister took good care of him and always worked odd jobs outside. When she came back after earning money, she would buy him sweets with a smile.

But when the family decided to send Eivor to be a pharmacist's apprentice, he never saw his sister again.

My sister disappeared without a trace.

Becoming a qualified pharmacist apprentice requires a lot of training and purchasing a lot of materials for practice. For poor families, this is a huge expense.

At that time, Eivor didn't know where the family's money came from, but...his sister was missing.

His parents also comforted him by saying that if he could become a great alchemist, one day he would see his sister again.

It was also from then on that Eivor determined to become a great alchemist.

The motivation for this dream is humble but determined, he wants to get his sister back.

Since Eivor officially became a pharmacist's apprentice and could steadily produce some basic medicines, the family's economic situation has also improved.

However, after he got rich, his father began to spend lavishly and went to the pub every day to drink. Within two years, he got into a fight while drunk and was beaten to death.

Although the perpetrator was eventually caught, his father would never come back.

Since then, my mother has been depressed all day long, and she died of illness a year later.

Eivor, a mere apothecary's apprentice, could do nothing about it.

The pharmacist's mother-in-law told Eivor that his mother had a heart disease, and there was no cure for heart disease.

Eivor knew that her mother's heartache had been left since the day her sister disappeared. She rarely smiled and would occasionally look at the dolls she made for her sister in her childhood in a daze for a long time.

The death of his father was the last straw that broke his mother's back.

Since then, Eivor has become a loner.

But he has always been determined to become a great alchemist. Only in this way can he have enough power to mobilize a large number of people to help him find his sister.

Although this is a long shot.

But it was Eivor's only hope, and he guarded it jealously.
