As I continue to walk around thinking about every possibility that brings me gold its asset and
liability… But most ideas either have too much cost or I need to be the lord… as I continue to walk around finding nothing that could be useful at the current time…
Then I saw a body of water / a very small pond and then it snapped. After many hours a great idea came into my mind, Ocean…
Ocean… Yes, Ocean is the Key
Yes, Yes, Yes Sea is the Key to all my money problems… No, I'm not talking about the old way of sailing to the seas and selling my products exclusively to free cities…
No, this is my plan for later. It's not possible for now as it needs huge money manpower and me being a lord and ships and lots of ships…
I'm talking about something that is very common in any world Sunken Ships lots of lots of Sunken ships shipwrecks and natural metals which include gold and silver rubies and pearls
A rough estimate puts more than three million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. This number represents ships throughout the entirety of human history, from 10,000-year-old dugout canoes preserved in the muck to 21st-century wrecks that you might have read about in the news. There are so many shipwrecks, in fact, that a search operation for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has discovered two by accident.
And all those ships were holding more than just people, especially in Medieval Times Sea floor held treasures looted by pirates, being transported to another country, or just merchants returning/traveling with it.
And all this treasure sunken with the ships. there is an estimated $60 billion in sunken treasure around the world, just waiting at the bottom of the ocean. And that doesn't include the historical and cultural value of excavating shipwreck sites.
And it's not even started here as there is a greater natural source as Superheated waters emerge from "smokers," spring-like vents in the seafloor. This occurs when tectonic activity forces the spreading of the oceanic crust. Metal-rich minerals, including small amounts of gold, iron silver led, and so on. are deposited as the heated gold-laden water mixes with the cold seawater.
Ocean waters around the world contain about 20 million tons of gold in them. When I say "in" that means literally, there is gold in ocean water.
Based on today's spot price of gold at $42.51 USD per gram, that amount of gold would be worth roughly $771 trillion. Compare that with the United States' gross domestic product (GDP) in 2016 of 18.57 trillion and its 41 times. Alternatively, you can compare it to the world domestic product of $78.28 trillion in 2014, almost 10 times the entire world's domestic product.
Needless to say, there's a lot of money to be had just in gold within the world's oceans.
Now imagine all of this in a world where the only form of currency is gold, with some of the most deadly weathers, dragons flying above the seas filled with some of the most deadly aquatic life such as giant ass fishes, mermaids/merlings, old men of the river, sea dragons, cephalopods, and let's not forget about krakens - not one or two, but in huge numbers here.
So, even for a common man, with common sense, it is easy to see the probability of shipwrecks with treasures should be higher here than on Earth.
The real question is, if Earth's seas really have that much gold, then why isn't anyone looking for it?… So why don't we explore more of them?
Well, it's simple, For one thing, it's hard to know what's worth the time. Diving operations can cost millions of dollars, and before we go down there, we have no idea what the ship is, what it was carrying, and what condition the cargo is in. In some cases, we are not even 100 percent sure that the identified object is a ship at all. "Not many people follow up on a target to determine if it is a wreck, and if so what type it is, and then if possible, which ship it is," says Delgado.
And this is just one point as the deeper you go more protection you need and at a time the protection would b so heavy that they can not be pulled out of the water, then ;;;
THE OCEANS ARE FILLED WITH gold, just floating out there for the taking! The trouble is figuring out how to extract the precious metal. For over a century, dreamers, con artists, madmen, and well-intentioned inventors have been trying to find a way to kickstart an oceanic gold rush. So far, the search for all those riches has proved fruitless.
However, there's the monumental task of removing the gold from vast amounts of seawater. Each liter of water would contain approximately 13 billionths of a gram of gold.
Gold in the ocean is so dilute that its concentration is very small. One study found there is only about one gram of gold for every 100 million metric tons of ocean water in the Atlantic and north Pacific.
There is also (undissolved) gold in/on the seafloor. The ocean, however, is deep, meaning that gold deposits are a mile or two underwater. And once you reach the ocean floor, you'll find that gold deposits are also encased in rock that must be mined through. Not easy. Currently, there is no cost-effective way to mine or extract gold from the ocean to make a profit.
Unfortunately, it is basically dissolved, and you're looking at one gram of gold per 110 million cubic meters of seawater, roughly. That's like a single grain of sand in 40,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
However, they have a very, very slight solubility in water. (A few parts per billion.) Over very long times... millions of years... even a gold artifact would slowly disintegrate in contact with salt water. Especially if it were to be drawn into a subduction zone (where the seafloor is pulled down into the crust of the Earth and remelted into the mantle).
Some gold from deep beneath the crust of the Earth does apparently make its way up to the surface by being dissolved in superheated water, miles below the crust. As the water finds its way back to the surface, it carries small quantities of gold with it. As the water cools, microscopic flakes of gold will precipitate out... often into quartz veins, where gold is often found.
But this process takes millions of years. Gold's solubility in even very hot water is very low. Again... "parts per billion" at best. The concentration of gold ions in seawater, though clearly proven, is far too low to make extracting the gold worth the cost.
So extracting the gold from the water is impossible not only for earth's life but also for me.
And as for gold coins and artifacts from old shipwrecks etc., then the answer is "pretty much nothing". Gold treasure on the bottom of the sea can be covered over with silt, and sit there... soaking in salt water and fish poop.... for hundreds of years.
When some lucky salvagers find it and bring it up, they can clean off any encrusted growths and caked-on mud, and it will be as bright and shiny as the day it was first made. Gold is, very nearly, one of the most chemically inert metals known to man.
But again, the gold is at the very bottom of the deep oceans, so no mortal men can go there. Even if I go there, it would take years to find just some gold, and I also can't sense the metal that is that far away from me.
My senses are impracticable in that case, so how would I bring the gold to me? Even humans with advanced technology aren't able to do that.
Well, this is also a simple answer: I will make some friends. It would have been impossible for Earth's sea life to go to the bottom and then come back carrying even half a kilogram of gold. In fact, they can't even swim that deep, they will be crushed by the pressure of the ocean.
And those who live that deep aren't even able to swim to the surface level, nor can they carry even a hundred grams of gold because of its density, besides the sperm whale. But it needs to breathe after every few minutes and it only breathes on the surface of the ocean.
But do you know what Earth didn't have? Mythical sea creatures were able to swim as deep as they want and are able to lift thousands of tons. Yes, it was time to befriend motherfucking Krakens and leviathans. I will easily be able to teach them what I want, and with an army of Krakens and other aquatic life, they will easily be able to find shipwrecks and treasure and bring it to me on the surface level.
As for the natural source, nothing could be done for the gold that is already part of the seawater, but for the new one, I could create some freezing spell and then put it into some type of artifact. And when the spell is active, it will freeze the water with all the gold in it, and then an ice slab could easily be brought to the surface. I will have a few Krakens always in the neutral sources ready to use the artifact.
And it's not the only use of Krakens, as they are famous for sinking ships, so I can use them in my navy, making my navy the strongest even without any ships. Because who the fuck can stand in front of a small army of five Krakens? One or two could be killed, but five, you just have to hope the death is painless.
and I can also capitalize on them in Fishing.
You see, being able to control animals came quite in handy in this situation.
With the help of a few of my Krakens, I will become the number one fish distributor in all the seven kingdoms.
Hahaha hahahahahahahahahahh…
I would be happy if I had another source of income for me.
Not because I need it, but money is always welcome.
It's really the time to befriend Krackens…
So now this is decided, I do have to go into the seas. How should I approach the situation that lays in front of me? I thought as I approached my chamber on my grounds, as the fortification was still going on. And when the animals saw I was thinking something, they didn't disturb me. After sitting down on my bed, I again started to think.
I can't tell my parents where I'm going, as no parent would let their eight-year-old son go into the middle of the ocean, even if that son is super powerful and undefeated. And I am sure this process is going to take some time, at least five to seven days when I work at my super speed. Making friends is easy, but teaching them takes time, and then I have to come back with a few hundred kilograms of treasure so this place continues to work and develop.
Well, convincing my parents will be easier than anything, as I would just use the oldest trick in the book: BULLSHIT ON JUTSU…
As I got up and walked into the corner of the room where I placed all the maps, picking up a few maps I walked towards the giant circular table in the room, placing all the maps there. I opened the map of Pentos.
This and most of the maps I got from my ravens as I said before, training, fighting, deploying this land, experimenting, learning, and teaching are not things that I was busy with within the last few years.
I was collecting information, as I was sure books didn't tell me all the events, nor did they tell me in detail.
So I had my flying friends collect every piece of information that they could get their hands on. They collected books, maps, information about the weather, what place had what specialty, how most cast behaved, ancient textures, weapons, about history, common flocks, and so on.
And all this information and things are lying somewhere in this room, which is huge. And this room is the most protected place in this whole place and it's protected by huge grizzly bears that can sniff you even from ten kilometers away, which means even outside of this place and as for someone fast, it also has two cheetahs and tigers...
Even then, I have contingency plans that will burn the whole room. Yes, I'd rather have all this knowledge burned than let it slip into the hands of the enemy.
Even then, this place is somewhat of a bait, as I want to see if someone can get here.
That's why it's the biggest and longest place in the whole area and doesn't hold too valuable knowledge, lest not for me, but for any smart person, this could be heaven.
Ok, so what do I plan to do with/in Pentos? Well, if I'm going and going out for days, then why not hit two birds with one stone? Why not take back my dragons from the Magister of Pentos, Illyrio Mopatis? I think he already has enough responsibility.
Why should I not set him free from the responsibility of protecting the eggs as a good king should?
And when they become mine, the day I was born here, everything here is mine, all the riches, comfort, and of course, most beautiful women of this world are mine and no one can touch them.
So, all the plans are ready, how do I execute them? I thought as I opened the maps of the seven cities, Iron Islands, Bear Island, The Summer Sea south of Dorne, the waters of the northern Sunset Sea, and the fourteen seas of the world of the Song of Ice and Fire.
Bleeding Sea
Hidden Sea
Jade Sea
Narrow sea
Poison Sea
Sea of Dorne
Sea of Myrth
Sea of Sighs
Shivering Sea
Shrinking Sea
Silver Sea
Smiling Sea
Smoking Sea
Summer Sea
Sunset Sea
So, after that, I picked up the pencil and started to draw the best way that would save me the maximum amount of time.
So according to the history books and the books of the world, the Krackens are mostly seen/ found in the waters of The Summer Sea south of Dorne, the waters of the northern Sunset Sea, possibly around, Bear Island, Iron Islands, treacherous route, Narrow sea and the Shivering Sea around The Fingers properly in the bloody waters of the Iron Islands.
Hundreds of Krakens are said to have been drawn to the bloody waters of the Iron Islands when Ironborn fought each other after the burning of Harrenhal. Lodos called upon Krakens to attack the fleet of King Aegon I Targaryen, but none did so..
The crew of Ser Eustace Hightower's Lady Meredith claimed that Ser Norman Hightower's Autumn Moon was brought down by a Kraken during a storm in the southern Sunset Sea in 56 AC
There is even an event in which a Kraken fought a Leviathan. and the one who witnessed all this created a suspense out of it...
A painting at the Merman's Court depicts a Kraken fighting a leviathan. is the same painting...
So this was the best root that would save me a lot of time as finding a hundred Krakens will present a great challenge and after finding a hundred Krakens and befriending them it will become a walk in the park as they themselves will find more Krakens and once they found them they will be under my command.
So according to my calculations, it should be going to take me three to four days to find a hundred Krakens and if something unexpected happens then it can take five days. then it shouldn't take more than three days to teach them everything that I want such as what is a shipwreck, what I want from it, how it should look, how treasure at the bottom of the sea can be covered over with silt, and sit there... soaking in salt water and fish poop.... for hundreds of years...
So it will be hard to see the gold and other treasures how they can clean off any encrusted growths and caked-on mud, and it will be as bright and shiny as the day it was first made and I also have taught them about other treasures such jewels, pearls, gems, and so on...
then I should take at least four to five days to find something good, valuable enough that I can return back home. So I will be free on these search days. So in these free days, I will visit Pentos.
And take my dragon eggs back as I don't have any plans to pay for something that is already mine... As I again looked at the Maps…
So Pentos is located across the Narrow Sea to the east of Westeros and Essos. and finding the eggs also be easy taking them and making my way out even easier... it's like a Hit-and-run tactic so this whole mission will be child's play...
After spending some more time on maps my plans were ready as tomorrow I will travel to the bloody waters...
Now, this was out of the way. I put my thoughts somewhere else as according to the books there should be five dragon eggs, the three that will soon be mine, and the other two that were going to be founded by two different individuals...
Well, I can think about them later, for now, it's time to start the plans... So with those thoughts in my mind, I pick the final map that I have drawn from my travels and walk out of my chamber leaving the room as it was cleaned by my slave oops workers...
Once outside I walked to the center of the place. I saw how workers and animals were working on fortifying the place, managing the farms, and other things alike. As I reached the centre I whistled loudly. and it was heard by everyone in this place...
And Soon *caaaaaaa*
A faint yet sound, something was approaching my location, but what was it?
*caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *caaaaaaaaaaaaa* *kee-eeeee-arr* *kee-eeeee-arr* *hoot* *hoot* *hoot* *tweet* *tweet* *tweet* *tweet* *twitter* *twitter* *twitter* *twitter* *cheep* *cheep* *cheep* *cheep* *cheep* *cheep* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *chirp* *kee-eeeee-arr* *kee-eeeee-arr* *kee-eeeee-arr* *kee-eeeee-arr* *coo* *coo* *coo* *coo*....
high, weak, and whistled chirp a series of high-pitched whistling or piping sounds could be heard from every direction, and soon not only I but the whole area was surrounded by birds of different kinds such as Ravens, Crows, Hawks, Eagles, Owls, Pigeons, Doves and so on...
