Silver the Hyena is one of them.
He was a core member of the Jedi Order, a local power. No outsider from beyond the desert could escape their watchful eyes.
If those outsiders are not tough enough, they will be severely punished.
However, the Jedi Clan only seeks wealth and does not harm people, making them a very benevolent organization in the Death Desert.
Moreover, outsiders exploited by the Jedi are essentially branded with the Jedi's mark, and no other forces are allowed to interfere.
Silver has always been proud of this, calling it "benevolence and righteousness." "You're happy to be targeted by our Jedi Clan."
After muttering something to himself, Bai Yin shrank back and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Soon after, more Jedi members appeared in the vicinity. Some scattered groups that had been eyeing the area were driven away by the Jedi. However, there were also organizations whose strength was no less than that of the Jedi, and they were stirring. The black carriage that no one knew when it had entered the Karaha Territory had clearly become easy prey in the eyes of the hyenas.
However, the "Moon Chariot" continued its journey at a steady pace and, following the map, accurately found the Sandworm Tavern.
"We've arrived," "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind" said calmly.
Inside the carriage, Dark nodded slightly to Emma and Ash before opening the door and stepping out.
He stood on the platform, his expression gentle as he surveyed his surroundings. In just one sweep, he caught sight of the hyena-men.
"On the left is the Jedi, on the right is the Bones, and behind that wall is the Three Heads... The three most troublesome gangs in Karahla territory are all here."
Dark smiled slightly, then jumped off the platform, reached out and took Emma's outstretched hand, pulling her down from the platform, and then Ellie…
Emma and Ellie both pretend to be delicate young girls... but Dark Dimon, on the surface, is just a delicate young boy.
When the hyenas who had been staring at the carriage realized that the three people who stepped out of the carriage were actually these three, their eyes immediately revealed undisguised drooling.
Although I was wary at first.
But the three people, including Dak, who appeared at this moment looked exactly like ignorant and stupid noble children.
While children with mental disorders are rarely seen in the desert, they are said to be quite common in human kingdoms.
The hyenas exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with a cold light.
"We'll strike when they come out of the Sandworm Tavern!" Silver stuck out his tongue, licked the dagger, and grinned, revealing a silent smile.
He had a feeling that tonight would be a bountiful night!
The Sandworm Tavern is a very special place in Karahal Territory. Because the Sand Clan resides here, human adventurers and merchants who come here will choose to stay here.
The three major gangs in Karah have agreements with the Sandworm Tavern and usually do not fight inside the tavern.
Therefore, the Sandworm Tavern became a "safe zone" for humans.
The door is unlocked.
With a gentle push, the tin-covered wooden door creaked open inwards.
Then, the rising heat and cacophony of sounds instantly assaulted his mind. Dark frowned slightly, stepped over the threshold, and entered the tavern. Aside from a few scattered hyenas, the tavern was filled with humans.
The adventurers and merchants were busy drinking and making noise, paying no attention to the new guests.
But the staff inside the tavern immediately looked over. One of the women, with tanned skin, lit up and immediately grabbed a towel and headed towards the door.
She wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, with a headband that exposed her forehead. Her exposed limbs revealed hidden muscles, and her figure was a classic hourglass shape. In the eyes of the desert people, she would be considered a very sensual woman.
"Sir," Malt asked as he approached Dak.
As she spoke, her peripheral vision fell on the "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" driving the car.
But the "Night Travel Barrier" had already been reactivated, and the magnificent black carriage suddenly disappeared from its sight.
“Three,” Dark said casually, and walked straight toward the counter. Malt glanced once more at the spot where the “Moon Chariot” had disappeared, hesitated slightly before closing the door, and then hurriedly ran toward Dark.
The vanished carriage made her realize that the three new guests were not simple. Especially the young man leading them; his smile carried a chillingly terrifying undertone.
Maiya had always considered herself to have a strong intuition, and this time was no exception. She knew that these three were definitely not noble children who had come to the desert for adventure without thinking.
Outside the tavern.
Bai Yin's brows furrowed instantly, and he said to his henchman, "Go, take a look."
The short hyena-man picked up his dagger and cautiously crept towards the tavern entrance.
But he walked all the way to where the carriage had disappeared without hitting anything—which made him feel a sudden fear and he hurriedly ran back.
The hyena people who live in the Death Desert are not afraid of death, but they are also not unafraid of death.
Knowing when to be ruthless and when to be cowardly is the way the Kalahari hyenas survive.
The sudden disappearance of the "Moon Chariot" caused some of the hyenas who had been eyeing these outsiders to retreat.
Among the three major forces, the hyenas belonging to the Bone Society also quickly retreated after exchanging opinions with each other.
Before long, only the Jedi Gang and the Three-Headed Society remained watching outside the door.
However, members of both factions have become more vigilant again.
Inside the tavern.
Dak went to the counter.
Malt followed behind and quickly asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Dark glanced at Malt and said directly, "Find a guide." Malt's eyes lit up, and she said, "Where do you wish to go, sir?" Dark smiled slightly, pointed to the depths of the Death Desert, and said, "I'm going there."
Malt understood, her expression changing slightly: "There's no exact location." Dak nodded and said, "We need to go deep into the desert, can you manage?" Malt's heart pounded with alarm, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "I'm just a waitress. If you need a guide, I can recommend Harry."
"Harry?" Dark asked.
Malt turned slightly and pointed to a corner where a person was drinking alone.
Dark glanced at it and said, "He doesn't seem very sociable." Malt paused for a moment and said, "Capable people always prefer to be alone."
Dark shook his head and said, "Are there any other candidates?"
Malt glanced instinctively at the man in a suit behind the counter. The man nodded slightly, and Malt pointed to the other side, saying, "The people sitting over there are Ackerman's team, but you have to hire at least three people at a time."
“Ackerman…” Dark turned his head and saw more than ten people sitting around a table, drinking and playing drinking games.
He shook his head and said, "Too rude." Malt: "..."
Are you here to cause trouble?
She took a deep breath and asked patiently, "Harry and Ackerman are already the best guides for our Sand Clan. Won't you reconsider?"
Dark smiled, pointed to his temple, and said, "Is there anyone who is educated, good at communication, and talented? By the way, her name should ideally be Malt."
As soon as Dak finished speaking, the area around the counter suddenly fell silent.
Two staff members moved forward silently, flanking from both sides.
Malt instinctively stepped back, her gaze towards Dak and the other two filled with wariness. The man behind the counter tapped the table lightly with his knuckles and suddenly said, "Malt isn't cheap."
Darke smiled and said, "Name your price." The man raised his hand and gestured a number.
Dak couldn't help but smile, and he also raised his hand to make a number.
The man's expression changed slightly, but he immediately greeted them with a smile: "Maiya, please treat our distinguished guest well."
Dark smiled and waved at Ashe.
Aisha pulled a money bag from her pocket and tossed it onto the counter. The man picked up the bag, weighed it, and quickly gave a signal to the surrounding staff. The two employees who had surrounded them then slowly retreated.
Malt opened her mouth, then sighed and said, "Let's talk over there."
She knew her opinion was no longer important, because the other party had given her far too much!
Who doubles the price after asking?
Moreover, that was an inflated price.
The price the boy paid was four times higher, and it was for a whole month's wages.
Where did this rich kid come from? Even if you're wealthy, you can't just squander it like this!
稍许片刻。
Darko Dimon, having revisited his past persona after a long absence, sat down at a round table.
Ash and Emma took their seats one after the other. The latter waved her hand, and bread, jam, beef, and soup suddenly appeared on the table.
This scene caused the pupils of those watching to contract, and they quickly turned away, no longer looking.
The longer you live, the more you see, and the more you learn how to live even longer. Judging people by their appearance is a grave taboo.
"What is your surname, sir?" Malt asked. Dak smiled and replied, "Gao De."
Malt's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Is it the same 'Goldark' from Bright Gold?" He replied, "That's right. However, my family line has little to do with the legendary hero. Miss Malt, I need you to demonstrate the value commensurate with the hiring price."
Maiya shook her head slightly, then asked with a forced smile, "Mr. Gaode, could you please send someone else?"
Dark shook his head, this time with a serious expression, and said, "No."
Malt asked, "May I ask how you came to know me?"
Dark smiled slightly and said, "There's a hyena outside named Silver, and he told me that."

string (16576) "
The name of the Jedi Clan's Silver is known to everyone in Karah.
Some called him a "madman," others a "brain-dead idiot." But everyone knew that if an outsider was targeted by Silver first, it would be a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
However, even Shirogane, who prides himself on being "benevolent and righteous," is not someone who would easily provide intelligence to outsiders.
Moreover, Silver is clearly outside, acting as a "hunter".
He could never provide intelligence for his "prey"! Malt gritted her teeth and whispered, "You're lying."
As Dak spread jam on the bread, he said slowly and deliberately, "If you think I'm lying, then I am lying."
Malt observed Dark's reaction, then glanced at Emma and Ash beside him, and suddenly had a feeling that he wasn't lying.
But her reason told her that it was absolutely impossible! The struggle between reason and emotion led Maiya astray.
Dark chuckled and reminded her, "Miss Malt, I've already paid you double the hire fee. You should at least demonstrate the value of a quarter of that fee."
Malt paused for a moment, then said, "Sir, you are joking. Since you specifically mentioned me, you must know my abilities."
Dark looked at him strangely, thinking, "I really don't know." But of course, he couldn't say it out loud.
Although they have some understanding of the situation here, they certainly cannot provide details about individuals.
The reason why I know about Silver and Malt is entirely due to the information that "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" gathered on the spot.
The hyenas drawn by the "Lunar Chariot" are readily available sources of intelligence.
Along the way, the hyenas were observing them, and they were, of course, also observing the hyenas.
Every hyena's thoughts are laid bare before "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".
At that time, the hyenas were focused on their "prey," and it was only when the carriage was about to arrive at the Sandworm Tavern that they began to think about the Sand People.
It was during that time that "Malt" learned the name from the hyena-man Silver's heart in "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".
Malt was not the best guide among the Sand Tribe. Although she was experienced, she could not compare to the veteran guides who had fought countless battles and escaped death in the Desert of Death many times.
But she has a very famous title in the Karaha Territory: "The Guide to Miracles"!
Because she always miraculously avoids all kinds of disasters, she has an almost magical ability to "seek advantage and avoid harm".
In addition, Malt is also one of the few knowledgeable people in the desert because she loves to read.
People who love reading are usually lucky.
However, Dark has not yet made a complete choice for her; he is currently only in the consideration stage. He needs to know what abilities Malt possesses and whether they can meet their needs.
Malt took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We Sand People have the ability to orient ourselves in the desert, which is the basis of our role as guides."
Dak nodded slightly. Being able to discern directions in the deadly desert where sandstorms blot out the sun was indeed an extraordinary ability.
This is likely related to the Sand Clan's innate ability to "manipulate sand and dust."
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Malt continued, "Personally, I can tell you about the characteristics, functions, and taboos of almost all the plants and animals in the Death Desert. I can find the necessary food and water in the desert anytime, anywhere. Of course, you may not need that."
As she spoke, she glanced at the "food" on the table, her voice tinged with envy.
While "food cards" may not seem particularly valuable to mages, they are considered treasures that are unusable even if acquired by those outside the realm of mages.
