resources, and their spirits were high.
Everyone was joyful and happy.
But in the Desert Kingdom…”

She paused and sighed again, “The people here still live in poverty.
I’m an assassin, so it might sound strange for me to say these things, but the Desert Kingdom is still my homeland.
I don’t want to see it in this state.
I also hope that my homeland can thrive and prosper.
So… I want to act coquettish and ask if you can… help out.
After the war ends, can you make the people of the Desert Kingdom prosperous too?”

Robb let out a sigh, “That’s difficult.”

“Huh? It shouldn’t be difficult for you,” Suofa said, “Just like helping the people of Westwind Town or the Maya people, find some special products, develop miraculous crops, or create incredibly powerful machines…”


Robb shook his head, “None of that will work.
This place is nothing but yellow sand.
We can’t do anything here.
I don’t have the ability to help the people of the Desert Kingdom become prosperous through those means.”

Suofa felt upset, “If even you can’t do it, then there’s no one in this world who can.”

“That’s not true,” Robb said, “There is a kind of person who can help the Desert Kingdom become prosperous.”

“Hmm?” Suofa was greatly surprised, “What kind of person?”

“Alchemists!” Robb said seriously, pointing to the natural oil field in front of them, “As you know, the diesel used in diesel trains and cars is produced by me using this black oil.”

Suofa nodded, “I know that.”


Robb said, “The only way for the Desert Kingdom to prosper is through this.
However, relying solely on me to convert this into diesel is inefficient, with low utilization and small consumption.
It cannot be fully utilized.
We need a large number of alchemists to dedicate themselves to researching this, and then this substance will become a multitude of incredibly useful things.
For example… diesel, gasoline, asphalt, solutions, fertilizers, insecticides, and plastics… Once this substance is fully understood, it can surpass common knowledge in various fields.
At that time, people all over the world will crave it like madness.
And then, the poor Desert Kingdom, through selling petroleum, will become a place overflowing with wealth in the blink of an eye.”

Suofa asked, “Huh?”

Robb continued, “So, the only way to prosper is to desperately develop technology and progress.
There are no shortcuts.”

Suofa replied, “I understand.
Are you suggesting that I find some alchemists and have them research petroleum?”

“Exactly!” Robb exclaimed.
“At least let them extract diesel from petroleum first.
With that, we can mass-produce diesel cars and diesel trains.
Once the production of these two vehicles increases, the demand for petroleum will rise.
Consequently, the price of petroleum will naturally increase, and the impoverished people of the Desert Kingdom can become wealthy in a very short period of time by selling petroleum.”

“As the alchemists deepen their understanding of petroleum, they will naturally explore various other things, such as gasoline and asphalt,” Robb explained.
“Scientific progress happens in this way.”

Suofa silently remembered these words.
She believed every word Robb said because she had witnessed firsthand how the cities managed by Robb had flourished.
As long as she steadfastly worked towards this direction, she believed she could achieve her own goals.

Suddenly, she gathered her courage, leaned over, and planted a kiss on Robb’s face.
Before Robb could react, Suofa jumped up and ran away as if flying.
