Although the King could still suppress them for now, the situation was already growing unstable. He had to constantly compromise and negotiate just to maintain the Kingdom's overall semblance of balance and relative stability.
Perrington initially thought Fang Zhen only knew martial arts and nothing of these matters, so he only mentioned them casually. However, he didn't expect that Fang Zhen, being from the modern world, had seen and heard just as much as Perrington, even if he hadn't experienced it firsthand. Naturally, their conversation deepened.
Perrington was surprised, even a little delighted. After all, a good—or rather, not foolish—conversational partner was hard to come by. So he spoke more, and in greater depth, and Fang Zhen was able to keep up with every topic.
This made the old Perrington appreciate Fang Zhen even more.
Fang Zhen, in turn, gained a better understanding of the Nameless World.
