In reality, he didn't actually have any real connection to people like Duke Phil or Rooney. He had simply used Yak's identity to get in touch with them quickly.
Yak's status as a noble also meant he wasn't ostracized, which saved him from a lot of danger and risk.
Fang Zhen's real objective was still to trade.
He was very interested in this world's Divine Runes. This power seemed to exist independently of alchemy and other rune systems.
His Longsword and other equipment all derived their Extraordinary Abilities from different systems. He wondered if he could stack a layer of Divine Runes on top to increase their power and upgrade his gear.
Additionally, if the Divine Runes here were truly as powerful as they seemed, he planned to acquire a large batch of Divine Rune Weapons. He could then use them to arm the Curse Sealers when he returned to the Curse Seal World.
That would make taking down a Hell-level dungeon much easier.
