The revelations from this unusual Snake-Man soon reached every player in the camp. They began discussing them eagerly, briefly giving the place a lively atmosphere.
The Makon people in the camp did not understand Chinese, so the players were not worried about their discussions leaking secrets... What this Snake-Man had said was mysterious and rather shocking. It did seem like something the NPCs should not hear.

"Magic acts as a beacon and attracts calamities? Does our resurrection count as magic, then?"

"Is that little white snake telling the truth or not? Could this be misleading information planted by the system?"
"Who cares? Isn't this plot way more interesting than helping those Makon idiots defend their town?"
The players let their imaginations run wild, throwing out endless theories and possibilities as they chatted to their hearts' content.

"Enemy attack from the east! Lots of snake shapes moving along the edge of the woods!"
"They're on the west side too...
