Chapter 62: Progress Report
Chapter 62: Progress Report
He went through a nice tour of the House of Black and White. It was creepy. They had a huge statue of him in a hall, to whom they prayed to. Before leaving, he gave them his modified Uniphone. There was no magic in the air to create connectivity though.
There were no signals on the phone yet, but soon there would be. He had a Mecha Maker from Doraemon. He just needed to design it and put some metal in the machine. The satellite can be made in probably minutes. Putting it in orbit was easy too. He was also interested in looking at the planet from space and also finding out the reason behind its weird season cycle.
Being done with his work in Braavos. Alexander hired a ship back to White Harbor. He paid a lot of money to hire the ship for his personal travel. When the news reaches other big lords they'd think that Alexander likes to spend money on lifestyle, even if the money is loaned. It will also make them think that they can buy him.
When the ship started its week-long journey, Alexander decided to go to Cannibals Bay. As he didn't know the location, he used the anywhere door.
He opened the pink door and a gush of chilling air came. He quickly crossed it and closed it. He was greeted by a plain white sheet of white ice. He could feel that just some feet below him was the Shivering sea.
The legend has it that there's a part in the shivering sea where the sea freezes from time to time. By the time the ships turn around they find themselves trapped. In short, the place was a cold graveyard of ships with a cannibal population.
He walked around and saw many ships but no people there, only skeletons. The whole world knew that going deep into the Shivering Sea was dangerous so no one really goes there anymore. Which would also mean that all the cannibals would have died by now.
One by one, he started absorbing all the ships he could find. There was quite a good amount of gold too. In total, he found 1100 ships. After that, he went inside his pocket dimension to Phixheim and started using Restoring Beam to make the ships usable again. But they were very old models so it wouldn't be very helpful in the seas.
So, he used Delux Light, it turned the ships into a better version of themselves. This meant that he now had 1100 common ships that would be the backbone of his navy. Each of these ships houses a crew of 41. He only needed 1000 so he decided to give 50 out of the remaining 100 to coastguards. They would use it as their flagship. Their common ships were smaller than the Navy'.
The remaining 50 were to be used for transport and Trade for now. He created a lot of Godroids as its temporary crew and told them to bring 100 ships to the new mega-city Norgold, every 3 months. His Wolf's swords were already recruiting men on a large scale. They all were bounded by a contract to at least work 5 years. However, they could still complain if they didn't like something.Then he returned to his ship to White Harbor and enjoyed his trip. But, due to sudden great wind, the ship would only need 3 days to reach the destination.
...
Once back in Winterfell, Alexander convened a Stark meeting. Elina was included in that category as well, she was a Stark in all but name.
"Alright guys, what's the progress. I want reports." Alexander said. Their meeting took place in Stark's only living room. All the others sat in their seats in front of him.
Elina spoke first, "I was trying to count the coins in the treasury but just gave up after 10 Million. However, I have put that 10 Million aside as our main fund. It will give us a better sense of expenditure. I don't want us to become reckless thinking that we have infinite money"
"Haha... Job very well done, my dear. We'll use the 10 million and multiply it with our efforts." Alexander praised.
Then Dobby spoke, "On my part, The Repairing of Moat Cailin has been done. We also have built a small town with good planning. It can be easily expanded into a Tier 3 city later. A long Concrete Dock has also been built. We didn't wait for you and created the Canal on our own and disguised its formation as an earthquake. Though it created a new problem. King's Road was cut. So we built a big arched bridge. It's pretty high, your steel warship can pass easily. We also constructed a 3 man obliviation team. They changed the memories of anyone who thought that the bridge was too quickly made. Some had started saying it was magic so I had to do it.
In the 2 months of your journey, we also received 120,000 people. They have been given housing in Wintercity. One of Wolf's swords has taken the position of City Mayor and is currently creating a police department. Many of the people were unskilled so they were given some skill development classes. We currently have 20,000 working in agriculture and 40,000 working on the building of Norgold in Ramsgate. 20,000 were sent to receive Military training in a new Military academy I established in Wolfswood. It's run and taught by 10 Wolf's sword. The remaining 40,000 have chosen various other professions. We lack blacksmiths for now though.
The creation of your Naval force has also been fluent. We have gathered 30,000 men. They are receiving training in The Naval Academy started on Sea Dragon Point. It is run by 20 Wolf's sword. We have also received the news that nearly all Lord in the North had a huge harvest this time. They all said that they have even more than they need. They all sent thank you letters. Big Orders of Butterbeer and Firewhiskey have become common now. Just last month, we made around 40,000 gold Dragons from it. It's becoming even more popular.
That's all," Dobby relaxed.
All the people in the room looked at him with shocked faces.
"When the hell did you do all that? I saw you in front of the T.V. most of the time and whenever you were not there, you were playing with Rina," Benjen asked.
"Magic is very convenient my friend. Besides, I don't really need to sleep much." Dobby nonchalantly replied.
"Too efficient, Dobby. You even did the things that I was just planning on. Thanks, man," Alexander praised him.
~I guess, some traits of old house-elves are still there.~ He though.
"Alright, everything's good, I guess. Ned, In the name of all the gods, I name you Lord of Moat Cailin. From now on, you'll be known as The Stark of Moat Cailin. I don't want you to change your name like the Karstarks." Alexander said.
Ned looked surprised and asked. "B-But, what about Brandon? Shouldn't he receive it?"
"No, he's my heir. Also, I'm giving him the Norgold. It's going to be a city even bigger than Braavos and King's Landing. But don't take Moat Cailin as a joke, Ned. It's the first line of defense and now with the Canal connecting east and west, a city as big as King's Landing would be built there. Your duty will be to collect small money from ships passing the canal for maintaining it. I'll send a Wolf's sword to teach you about management and creating a good police department too." Alexander explained.
Ned stood up and kneeled, "I will uphold the honor and justice. I will do my duty to the best of my ability, Uncle. You can count on me"
"Haha... good, now get up," Alexander patted him on the shoulder.
"Now, the next thing is. I have created many changes to the north. I don't want to do more before we properly absorb the current one. So, our job for the next 5 years will be to become the most powerful and richest house in the world. Make the North the most powerful kingdom. I want those 10 million gold dragons turned into 100 million. After everything becomes normal, I'll start bringing more revolutionary changes. Let's do it, guys. Meeting Dismissed" As he said that, they all started to walk around and get to their job. Ned went to tell his wife about his new job.
~If I remember correctly, the crown in the T.V show had more than 10 million debt by the end. Let's see how much I can increase it this time. Robert has married Cercei already and she was pregnant too. Now, we need to know what will happen after the honeymoon period passes. Varys has indicated that Robert is returning back to his former self slowly. Should I help him?~ Alexander talked to himself.
"Grandpaaa... Let's go out. I wanna learn how to use a bow" Rina came running to him.
"Oh, why do you want to learn it?" He warmly asked.
"It will make me stronger. I want to beat the Cat lady. She said she do not like Jon and never let me play with Robb." She pouted.
~Well, I am sure many want to put an arrow in her. She's too annoying.~
"Okay, sweety. But you must promise me to never use it on the Cat, or any other person if he's not a very bad guy. You can use it on targets though. Let's go"
Alexander took her to the courtyard and made her a soft and light bow. She looked very cute trying to hit the target. Alexander quietly clicked some pictures to show them to her when she grows up.
