When Eli and Kayden heard the question both of them froze in shock.
Gabriel's question told them that he knew about the troops lying in wait somewhere on the coast of the island.
The other thing is, they did not know yet whether the two of them were enemies or accidental allies.
And so, even with Gabriel and Abaddon changing the surroundings, Eli and Kayden still did not say anything and remained vigilant.
Seeing the stubbornness of the two, Gabriel sighed.
"Look… if both our sides would just guess each other's intentions, then we are just wasting time…" He pulled a chair and calmly put his hands on top of the table, leaning over so as to stand like a negotiation between the parties.
"To tell you the truth… Abaddon and I have long noticed your team since the moment you entered the island…
We watched how you were brought here by the group of non-humans who remained in wait somewhere near the island… how you two surveyed the entire land… even how you were able to infiltrate the Island really well.
If we planned to kill you, we would have done so when we saw you stepping on the island the first time… However, as we observed you… we are puzzled.
Why would you come to this place and try to infiltrate the island?"
Eli and Kayden looked at each other once again in surprise.
They thought that they had been successful in infiltrating the island and arriving here in no time, but they did not expect that someone was already watching their every move the moment they stepped into the place.
This time Abaddon also looked over and said,
"We are also aware of how you painstakingly moved your way down until you reached the inner place… We only knew that your target was going there… but who knows what your intention really was?
Maybe you are one of those people who wanted to get something out of this place and use it for your own self-interest…However, the news of war arrived and we cannot afford to have you roaming around the palace and suddenly causing chaos to our plans.
Since the Pope and the rest will come in here… we have to move as fast as possible and we don't want any other party foiling our plans…
We made it so that we will meet you today… We wanted to know your intentions. That is why we allowed you to sneak out and contact your friends.
And as we heard your conversation, I knew… that you were part of the people who knew that this place is corrupted."
"But still we wanted to know… are you an ally to the curse users or to the righteous?" Gabriel finished the explanation with a question.
Kayden seemed to have decided and finally opened his mouth.
"We are here to stop the evil happening in this place. Whether you are their ally or not… you will not stop us from saving mankind against the corrupted temple…" He answered without batting an eyelid.
The two captains were taken aback, but not much was seen on their faces as they listened to Kayden's reply.
"Hmm… how can we be sure that that is your intention? I am saying this now… If you are someone who only wants to take advantage of the chaos then better stop your plans. You will just make our mission more complicated." Abaddon frowned and replied.
Kayden looked at Eli and gave her a signal.
Eli seemed to have understood what he wanted and made a move. At this point, even when the two captains vaguely explained their side, they still have to be sure of one thing.
She reached for her space pouch and took two vials of cure potion.
"This is a cure potion." She said, allowing the two to inspect.
A flash of surprise appeared in the captain's eyes but they immediately turned normal before asking, "I see that it is the real one… so what does it have to do with that?"
"Nothing… but this…" Before their eyes, Kayden and Eli took the vials, opened them, and threw them on Abaddon and Gabriel's side.
"What are you two doing?!" Clearly not expecting that they will be treated like this, Abaddon exclaimed in exasperation.
But then they froze in shock to realize that they were suddenly trapped in an array and could not do anything to Eli and Kayden.
Kayden and Eli stepped back, creating a distance while they watched intently how the cure potion reacted on the two.
"Seems like there is no reaction… They are really not curse users." Kayden said, no longer minding the grievance of the two.
"Big Brother… that does not mean that they aren't evil. Remember, the Spectre can still use ordinary soldiers, what more, fool the temple knights and the priest to achieve what they wanted." Eli watched coldly at the two who were still dumbfounded because of the turn of events.
"What curse users we are clearly not! How could the two of you even associate us with those corrupted temple servants?!" Abaddon was so angry that he tried pouncing the restriction array.
"Whew… look at how the array rippled, Eli-chan… Luckily, Prince Master's spell arrays are so reliable! They can even hold off two captains!" Wisey cheered inside Eli's head.
"Even if you aren't cursing users you still work under the corrupt temple. We are sorry but we have to detain you… lest you foil our plans as well." Kayden no longer looked nervous and coldly stared at the two.
"It is you who are foiling our plans right now! Clearly, we are preparing to retaliate against the corrupt temple but the two of you suddenly went in.
You are not part of our consideration and so we must naturally confront you and see your intentions! How come it resulted in us being evil?"
Gabriel was helpless, he miscalculated and did not take Eli and Kayden seriously. Now they were at their mercy in just a blink of an eye.
"You can just say that because we have said that we are angry with the curse users. How will you prove that you stand on the righteous side as well?" Eli retaliated.
"Sigh… this is quite frustrating…"Gabriel rubbed his head and sighed helplessly.
"We are temple knights, captains ordained by the righteous calling of the heavens. However, things inside this place turned to the evil side before our eyes.
"While it is true that the temple is corrupted, we are not the people you think we are…
Many of us knights and servants were helpless and could only follow the Pope's will… Every one of us was forced to do as they ordered. What's more frightening was that to us, Captains, we are forced to become curse users in order to continue serving.
If not for my cousin here, Abaddon… we would have been turned to curse users now. He had to save me and our respective troops by creating an illusion that we are curse users inside the temple. Ever since that time, he was constantly casting an illusion spell whenever other corrupted people were around.
As for me, it took me time to create something to disguise us as curse users in the long term. We could have escaped this place but we cannot bear to leave the altar to be defiled by them.
Finally, after researching for so long, I and my men finally developed a magical tool that can contain Abaddon's illusion power and masked us as cursed users without my cousin continuously casting a spell on our side."
Then Gabriel lifted a pendant from under his clothes and revealed an ornament.
He activated it and before Eli and Kayden, they felt a layer of curse power masking Gabriel.
Intrigued by this thing, Kayden and Eli examined the phenomenon intently.
"Baobao.." Eli finally called out, summoning Baobao from the other side.
"Master.." Baobao greeted and looked at the two captured men intently.
"No trace of curse mana Master… it was just a thick layer of mana covering him all over," Baobao announced after knowing Eli's intentions.
"I see, you may go back." Eli reversed summoned Baobao and finally looked at the two people. She looked at Kayden with a glance that told him to give his decision.
"We are also here to take care of the corrupt temple. As well as find the mysteries of their real intent of making these all happen. By the expression on your faces, you must have already guessed our real identities."
"Anti-curse committee… Genius doctor creator of the miraculous cure potion, Dr. Kayden…"
"Anti-curse committee… Phenomenal Inventor, with strong mage aptitude and an exceptionally contracted mythical beast known as Panda and not a cursed bear… Great Inventor Lady Eli…"
Abaddon and Gabriel finally understood the moment Baobao appeared and upon connecting the dots the cure potion appeared before their eyes.
Kayden nodded as he listened to their answers,
"Indeed just by our affiliations, you must already know what our purpose is… So you two, temple knight captains… are you a friend or an enemy?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When Eli and Kayden heard the question both of them froze in shock.
