A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1090 The Abandoned Bishop
"Are you from Sister Agnes's unit?" Even though he already knew the identities of the two nuns, Lin Wuming still asked to confirm.

“You’re right, Nameless Senior, I remember them,” Wuhe said first. Although she was also curious about the restraints on their bodies, she still gripped her cross-shaped pistol tightly, ready for battle. “Be careful, they are the enemy!”

“Don’t joke around,” said the taller, more mature of the two nuns. “How could we possibly be a match for Lord Lin Wuming? You are a powerful figure who could even defeat the Right Seat of God!”

"Then what are you trying to do, sneaking around here like this?" Wuhe pressed.

“Yes…” The two nuns exchanged a glance, then raised their hands in surrender, “Actually, we weren’t hiding from you, but from those golems and the bishop’s henchmen. We…”

After a brief pause, the nun continued, "We're here to rescue the captain."

……

Sister Lucia and Sister Angelina were not originally on this flagship; they also used special means to "smuggle" themselves here.

In order to rescue their captain, Agnes Santis.

In a desperate situation, they were well aware of the vast gap between themselves and Bishop Piageo, and they didn't believe that such a reckless rescue operation could actually succeed. They were only fighting desperately because they didn't want to see Captain Agnes die in vain.

Unexpectedly, just as Rukia and Angelina infiltrated the flagship, they encountered the sudden intrusion of the Amakusa-class fleet.

Not long after, the Amakusa-style members launched a fierce attack, directly storming the flagship.

Seeing this, Lucia and Angelina could only hide even more discreetly.

Although it might feel like a betrayal of their own beliefs, at this moment, their stance is actually more inclined towards the Amakusa-style Cross Religion.

After all, the fact that these real enemies caused such a ruckus also indirectly served to rescue Sister Agnes.

Since things had come to this point, Sister Lucia simply stopped hiding anything and revealed all the information she had.

“According to the original design, ‘Queen of the Adriatic’ was a special artifact specifically designed to target Venice. Although it could destroy Venice in one blow, it had no other use,” Sister Lucia said. “However, through the spell ‘Limited Cross,’ this restriction can be lifted, allowing ‘Queen of the Adriatic’ to target other cities…”

Activating the "Limited Cross" requires special "tools"—namely, refining "unusual magic" through an "unusual mind".

Agnes Santis is the chosen “unusual mind” – she will be transformed into a “tool” capable of refining special magic during the ritual.

In other words, it is what is known as a "sacrifice".

“For the sake of all of us nuns, it seems Lady Agnes has made a pact with His Holiness the Bishop, preparing to sacrifice herself.” Sister Angelina’s eyes welled with tears, like a pitiful little animal. “Of course, we don’t want Lady Agnes to sacrifice herself in vain—because that Bishop Piageo certainly won’t keep his promise!”

That's why this rescue operation was launched.

The members of Sister Agnes's Squad are distributed across different frigates in the Queen's Fleet. The reason why the surrounding frigates have remained silent and indifferent to the attack on the flagship until now is thanks to the members of the Sisters' Squad.

"Please, please save Lady Agnes!" Sister Lucia bowed deeply.

"So, you're planning to convert to Anglicanism?" Lin Wuming suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Several girls, including Wuhe, exclaimed in unison.

“Isn’t that so?” Lin Wuming retorted. “You were already quite unpopular, and this rescue of Sister Agnes is an act of betrayal against the Roman Catholic Church. You don’t naively think you can still stay in the Roman Catholic Church, do you?” Sister Lucia and Sister Angelina looked at each other, unsure of what to say. In the end, they could only hesitantly say that such an important matter had to be decided by Lady Agnes.

Lin Wuming didn't say much. The reason he mentioned the topic of converting to Anglicanism was just to "spoil" the development of the original plot.

The original plot has now fallen apart, which makes Lin Wuming, the transmigrator, instinctively feel uneasy, so he subconsciously tries to maintain some of the original plot.

Of course, Lin Wuming knew in his heart that this was just a temporary psychological comfort that did not address the root cause of the problem.

When facing a cataclysmic disaster, knowing the plot is irrelevant; what truly matters is strength.

At this point, Lin Wuming already possessed the strength to withstand risks.

Think about it, all I was thinking about just now was how to deal with the Right Seat of God—the fact that I was seriously considering something like that already says a lot.

Seeing Lin Wuming suddenly fall silent, Lucia and Sister Angelina also fell into deep thought, seemingly seriously considering his suggestion.

The people on the deck didn't have to wait long. Soon, with a jolt from the warship beneath their feet, huge cracks suddenly appeared on the deck.

Meanwhile, faint commotion could be heard from the surrounding escort fleet.

The girls looked around in surprise and uncertainty, but Lin Wuming knew that the battle below must have come to a conclusion.

Sure enough, soon after, the Amakusa group and Tsuchimikado Motoharu returned to the deck; finally, Kanzaki Kaori appeared with Bishop Piageo in her arms, and Kamijou Touma appeared with Sister Agnes in his arms.

"Lady Agnes!"

Lucia and Sister Angelina disregarded everything else and immediately ran over.

Lin Wuming took one last look at the sky—still no one came to his aid.

Whether he should feel fortunate or regretful, Lin Wuming let out a soft breath and then walked towards Kanzaki Kaori.

Bishop Piageo's face was ashen, as if he still couldn't believe that he had been defeated, and that several people had directly broken into the core ritual chamber of the flagship.

The surrounding escort fleet remained completely indifferent, simply watching as the flagship was captured...

And most importantly, there was no support!
The Roman Catholic Church did not send him any support!
—The Pope is one thing, since he didn't agree with my plan to act in the first place, but the Right Seats of God are also nowhere to be found!

Lord Fire of the Right is indeed injured and probably has difficulty moving around, but as the leader of the "Right Seat of God," he could have asked Lord Wind of the Front or Lord Earth of the Left to come and support him.

Even just for the sake of the "Queen of the Adriatic"?

But the result was indifference; the Romans did not react at all and simply watched him be defeated and captured alive.

This was what made Bishop Piageo most desperate; he felt forgotten.

Or to put it more accurately, they were abandoned.
