Chapter 1254

Gu Ding named it Warlord Hall in honor of Aldous because he was a descendant of the first Warlord. His dream was to inherit the glory of his ancestors and bring their glory back to the world.

However, the others did not know the reason. They only thought that Gu Ding named it to go against Warlord Palace.

This was because Gu Ding and Warlord Palace had been at odds for a long time. Almost as soon as the Gu Ding Pirate Crew arrived in the Main Plane, they became enemies with Warlord Palace.

Even Warlord Palace thought that Gu Ding's move was a deliberate provocation.

However, Lord Palace had clearly pointed out that all members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew were under the protection of the feudal lord's restriction order. Sending lord-level powerhouses would be like sending food to them, so they could not do anything to the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.

The wanted order issued by Lord Palace was canceled. The Gu Ding Pirate Crew rode the Dream and appeared casually in the black gold market.

The black gold market was a large black market with many Interstellar Pirates coming and going. When the Gu Ding Pirate Crew's Dream docked at the port, they immediately recognized it as the Gu Ding Pirate Crew's spaceship.

If Barriman had not brought people to seal off the port, Gu Ding and the others would have been surrounded by people asking to join Warlord Palace before they could even get off the spaceship.

After getting off the spaceship, Gu Ding and the others were a little surprised to see the bustling crowd near the port. They did not expect that they would have such a big influence in the Main Plane.

Under Barriman's escort, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew soon arrived at Barriman's office in the black gold market headquarters.

Gu Ding and the others had never been to this office before. When they arrived, they were a little speechless.

"Eh, it's just an office. How can it be so luxurious …" Lilliath could not help but complain.

The office in front of them was a splendid palace, only slightly inferior to Barriman's mansion.

"From now on, this palace will be Warlord Palace's headquarters!" Barriman generously offered the palace.

"What about the staff in the black gold market?" Gu Ding asked.

"Don't worry, they've gone to the backup office, although the backup office was originally built to prevent attacks or other emergencies," Barriman said with a wave of his hand.

"The palace has been completely tidied up. When we have time, I will show everyone around. Now, let's go to the conference room and make arrangements for the next few days. "Although Barriman was a spendthrift, he was still a successful businessman. When it was time to do serious things, he would never be careless.

Gu Ding and the others were led to the conference room, and everyone sat around a long table.

"A 5-star Holy Land is the highest grade of Holy Lands that can be directly applied for. No matter how powerful a rising force was, the highest they could apply for was a five-star rating. Moreover, it was different from the current Five-star Holy Lands, which did not have a Lord-level powerhouse guarding them. A newly applied 5-Star Holy Land must have at least one Lord guarding it. That's why you came to me. "Barriman was the first to speak. "However, if we want to establish a true Five Star Holy Land, we still have many conditions that we have yet to fulfill. I believe that all of you should understand this."

"I already have some understanding of this. I'll go through it first. If there's anything that I've missed out, help me fill in the blanks." Neptune nodded at Barriman.

"First, we don't have enough members. A 5-star Holy Land needs at least 30,000 members. Within the one-month review period, the number of members must reach at least one-tenth of the standard. "

"This condition is not difficult to fulfill. It's only been three days since the Lord King's Palace's announcement, and the number of applications has already exceeded a million. It's not difficult to choose three thousand qualified candidates. You can leave this to me. I'll first conduct a preliminary selection, and the people who passed the preliminary selection will be selected. Then, everyone will conduct a reselection. That should be enough to decide. "

"Second, we need to find at least one high-level realm, sign a supervisory treaty, and take up the supervisory task."

"This condition is a little difficult to fulfill because most mature high-level realms already have a master. The only way I can think of now is to buy a high-level realm from another Holy Land, but it's probably going to cost a lot. "

"This condition has already been fulfilled. There's no need to think about anything else. I have a few supervisory rights to a few high-level realms in my hands. I just need to transfer one of them to Warlord Palace. "Barriman smiled.

"Is that really possible?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"Of course. The supervisory rights to a few high-level realms that I have were all bought at a low price on the black market. They're just newly discovered high-level realms that have taken shape, and there aren't many intelligent life forms. I bought them back then to resell them to the forces that want to establish a new Holy Land. "Barriman shrugged.

"If that's the case, why don't you name a price and we buy it?" Faust suggested.

"If you insist on buying it, then I'll offer one rank energy crystal." Barriman smiled at Faust.

"I hope this is a fair deal to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."

Faust looked at Barriman with a somewhat unfriendly expression. As a businessman, he was well aware of some shady dealings in business. Barriman's offer, even if the transaction was successful, would be invalid from a legal point of view. This was because the item and the amount of money being traded were not equivalent at all. The difference was too great. Faust did not have enough trust in Barriman, which was why he proposed to buy it. However, Barriman's offer was meaningless.

"I know you don't trust me. It's okay. We're all businessmen, so it's normal to be on guard. How about this, I'll give you the supervisory rights to this realm first. When you find other realms in the future, you can return it to me. "Barriman made a concession.

"Alright." Faust finally agreed. "I'm being cautious only to avoid unnecessary financial disputes in the future. I hope you can understand."

"Ahem." Neptune cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness before continuing.

"Third, we must develop new territories at the edge of the realm and shelter more than a hundred million residents. Within a month's review period, we must complete the development of the territory and shelter the residents. There's no requirement for this review. "

"This requirement is the most difficult to fulfill, because there's a high chance that we'll encounter resistance from the local residents when we develop new territories. Moreover, the territory that a five-star Holy Land needs to develop is equivalent to one-thousandth of the entire Main Plane. Within a month's review period, we need to complete at least one percent of this area. This is also a relatively difficult task. "

"Even if we choose three thousand members and let them all go out to do this, the possibility of completing it within a month is not high. I guess we can only look for mercenaries … "

"Why do we need mercenaries?" Barriman spoke again after hearing this. "Aren't there millions of people who have submitted applications? Let them do it, treat it as a preliminary process to join. This way, we can see their actual combat ability in addition to their information. Moreover, for those who don't successfully join, we can just compensate them with a certain amount of money. Treat it as a hiring fee, which is far cheaper than hiring mercenaries. If there are too many people who don't meet the requirements and the amount needed is relatively large, we can also set up a shortlist, and those on the shortlist won't have to pay any compensation. "

After listening to Barriman's plan, Faust could not help but say, "You're really a profiteer, but this is a really good idea."

"Is this really okay …" Gu Ding felt that this method was a little too much.

"I think it's feasible. Most of the holy lands have to undergo an assessment when they select new members. It's just that the content of our assessment is a little special. "Neptune nodded.

"Alright, before those people participate in the assessment, explain the content of the assessment and the danger of the assessment. Also, tell them that if they don't want to participate in the assessment, they can withdraw their application letter. We won't force everyone who submitted an application letter to participate. "Gu Ding nodded at Neptune and added.

"Other than these three conditions, we've already fulfilled all the other conditions. The assessment in a month's time will be jointly conducted by the Sovereign King's Palace and the five major seven-star Holy Lands. Wargod Palace will definitely take this opportunity to make things difficult for us. I hope that everything will go smoothly then. "Neptune let out a long sigh.

"There's nothing to worry about. We'll take whatever tricks Wargod Palace has up their sleeves. It's not the first time we've fought, and so far, Wargod Palace has never won, "Gu Ding said with a confident smile.
