The following day.
Riding in a carriage, Laine headed south.
He didn't stop in several cities he passed, but went straight to Athens.
If it had been before, Laine might not have been so direct; perhaps he would have traveled and experienced the local cultures and peoples like a mortal, but with the disturbances occurring, he clearly wasn't in the mood for that.
Laine planned to go somewhere where information was disseminated more quickly to understand what exactly was going on with the world's disturbances.
The information obtained from Hell was partial and incomplete, and although there were many of their followers hidden among mortals, they weren't mainstream. In comparison, Athens was different.
"It's about time this little one proved useful."
Narrowing his eyes, sometimes Laine was surprised by the audacity of Hera's followers; of course, they might not have known the specifics or perhaps they did know but their faith in the gods overwhelmed their fear.
