With a new hero under his command, Liu Zhi didn't waste any time. He visited the taverns in the other two locations, and at the Salted Fish Tavern, he indeed found another hero who had advanced to a new class.
He was a level-six Pirate King, though he had been dead for many years and had become undead. His class was still called Pirate King, however.
The Pirate King's greatest strength was his ability to summon two Ghost Ships at any time to help him fight.
The two Ghost Ships were different from each other. One specialized in melee combat, while the other focused on long-range cannon fire. They couldn't remain for long after appearing; they would help fight for a while, then leave.
Even so, that was already quite impressive. After all, naval strength was plain to see. Sometimes, you might spot an opponent with only one ship and send two ships to surround it.
But when you reached the enemy, that one ship would have become three, making for a rather awkward fight.
Liu Zhi was definitely going to recruit a hero with such a specialized skill, so he now had another Pirate King hero under his command.
After that, he went to Terry's Grave Tavern.
That tavern specialized in producing the undead heroes Liu Zhi needed.
This time was no different, but Liu Zhi hadn't expected the hero to be a vampire rather than one of the two class advancements unique to the undead.
This vampire had also advanced to a new class of his own, called Blood Mage.
The Blood Mage had no objections to joining Liu Zhi's team, but he did have one request: he hoped Liu Zhi would let him build up a vampire army in Liu Zhi's territory.
That was because he couldn't
