'I will need to send specialists to find which mountains possess a mine, this place is abandoned and backward, with volcanic formations underneath the island I have no doubt that we have mines, it might not even just be gold and silver... but also precious stones considering how unique this whole place is… I can give the land to my trusted lords so they can mine and send thirty percent to me, keeping the remaining seventy for themselves, if there's only one lord with a mine it would sound bad, but if you consider three or more… I will be wealthy, won't be building castles near unprofitable lands anyway'
