Ilodyer used to be an assassin, a profession that required him to have knowledge he might never use in his lifetime.
For instance, knowledge about desert and desert survival. However, just because he never using it in his past life didn't mean it wouldn't be useful in this one.
Ilodyer had some Arabian nomadic blood in his lineage, which surprised even him. His honest and straightforward father had somehow married a beautiful Arabian woman.
The Arabian nomadic tribes were just a collective term; Ilodyer didn't know which specific tribe she belonged to, the only thing he know is that these nomads migrated along with the oases in the desert.
They were the people who still rode horses and wore traditional clothing in modern society, preserving their beliefs, loving their nationality, content with their lives, and even grateful for the cruel desert.
