"Quentin, there are quite a few people in your gathering place, and you have also witnessed the harm that good people suddenly turning into zombies can cause to the gathering place!"
Quentin nodded, not quite understanding why Elijah brought this up.
"I can give you another piece of information: Awakened ones don't have the sudden corpse-changing issue," Elijah chuckled lightly. "That's why you only recruit Awakened ones..."
Quentin understood.
"Elijah, may I ask how many people are in your gathering?" a young man who had spoken earlier asked.
"What's your name?" Elijah inquired.
"Zachary! Just call me Zachary," he replied.
"Well, there aren't many of us, just eighteen people," Elijah said.
"Hiss!" Zachary and the others beside him gasped. Eighteen people meant, according to Elijah's criteria, eighteen Awakened ones! And they didn't have to worry about turning into corpses.
