For this Deep Sea expedition, Elliot chose to take Allen, Dorothea, and Vanessa. There had been far too much going on in the Hearthfire District lately, leaving Elsa too busy to get away. Otherwise, her abilities should have been useful too.
Still, if anything urgent really did come up, Dorothea could simply open a gate and bring her over.
Dorothea had specifically tested it. Using Maeve's approximate location as a reference, she could just manage to open a mirror surface and send someone over at this distance. Any farther, and her spirituality would fall short.
Her [Mirror Secret Art] was not a ritual-type Formless Art, so she could not keep consuming [Honey] to achieve effects far beyond the limits of her spirituality.
Thus, Elliot first took the others to allocate some points.
Thanks to the Manhole Cover Sacrifice Method Elsa had invented, Dorothea and the others no longer needed to wait for the believers to carry [Primordial Blood] into the Courtyard before continuing their sacrifices. Instead, they could hold up a manhole cover and sacrifice their way through [Primordial Blood], boring holes into it.
However, transportation of the [Primordial Blood] flesh chunks had not stopped. There were still many ordinary people who could not come to the Sea of the Moon, and they could only complete their sacrifices by having the offerings transported to the present world.
These sacrifices no longer went through the passage in the Ruins for transport. Instead, they were shipped straight out of the Hearthfire District's underground dock. This enormous passage could not only transport ships but had also taken on the role of a logistics hub. The production capacity of the Hearthfire District's publicly visible factories was no longer expanding, but new factories were constantly being built in the Abode, and more and more workers
