Walking into the examination room, Owen took a closer look and was stunned.

The conditions here were much better than he expected.

There are probably nearly 1,000 scholars who came to Tara Khan City to participate in the imperial examination, and the scale is huge. In the past, they had taken up more than half of the mid-to-high-end hotels in the entire city of Tarakhan just - there were no multi-storey buildings in this world, and the average building had at most three floors, most of them were two-storey, a large hotel had about thirteen or fourteen rooms, and the smaller hotels even had only five or six rooms.

What a huge exam room is needed for thousands of people to take the exam together? Owen once estimated, and then he felt that he was probably worrying about nothing.

What even he could imagine, Count Tara Khan and his staff, could not have imagined.

As it turned out, he was really unfounded.

Although this examination room is not large, it is exquisitely arranged. The desk on the side of the door and the bed on the side of the wall are all folded, usually folded and hung on the wall, and put down when you need to use them, and they do not take up space at all. Even the chair is foldable and can be folded away to become a palm-wide piece.

With this design, the space inside the room is much more spacious. When you need to take a break, put away the desk, open the two hidden compartments on the floor, put the test papers and stationery into them, and close the hidden compartments to ensure that the test papers will not be accidentally damaged.

Then, take out the futon from the large compartment on the floor under the bed, lay it down, and lay it out. So the small examination room became a bedroom again—not a big place, but enough to rest. Even the bed was quite spacious, and even some big men of orc blood could lie comfortably.

It's early autumn, and the weather is a little cooler, but it's not cold at all in the exam room, and it's obvious that the climate has been adjusted by magic. According to the instructions for candidates posted on the wall, Owen first spent about half an hour personally testing the various facilities in the examination room one by one to make sure that they were all in good condition, and then set up the tables and chairs and prepared for the exam.

Around ten o'clock, the patrol soldiers brought test papers and stationery.

Although the soldier's attitude was very kind, Owen couldn't help but be startled when he felt the powerful aura on his body.

Although his strength is not strong, his vision is not bad. This patrol soldier is dressed very ordinarily and has a good attitude, but the feeling of a strong man on his body cannot be concealed. He could bet that this patrol soldier was definitely a high-level martial arts officer - a powerful fighting spirit that could not be completely put away. The murderous aura that has been tempered by a hundred battles is impossible to hide completely.

When the patrol soldier went out, Owen calmed down, looked at the test paper, and was suddenly taken aback.

What a test!

He was going to take the history and literature exams, or geography and politics, but the results were ...... At least this first volume, I don't see this aspect at all.

This paper is full of trivial matters, from how to mediate a quarrel between two old people, to how to judge a dispute between a merchant and a soldier, to divorce and property division lawsuits...... It doesn't look like something a scholar should learn at all, but like a lord's stewards should learn.

Owen frowned, lost in thought.

These scholars came to participate in the imperial examination, of course, not to be officials or stewards, but to become knights, or even low-level nobles with actual fiefdoms.

As a nobleman, is it necessary to learn these things?

He was still thinking when he heard a commotion outside, but some scholars who were taking the exam were unwilling to get up and leave.

The scholar was quite heroic in appearance, extraordinary in temperament, and the clothes on his body were also quite luxurious, so he knew that he was of good birth at a glance. Owen speculated that he might just want to join in the fun and see what the so-called "imperial examination" was all about. Even if he is admitted, it is estimated that he will retire to the crown, and he will not really be a grassroots nobleman in Tara Khan.

Looking at his indignant face, it is conceivable that he felt insulted by those "vulgar" topics.

The scholar is not alone in feeling insulted.

After him, more than a dozen scholars left one after another and did not participate in the imperial examination. One of them wanted to call for everyone to boycott the exam, but as soon as he spoke, he was helped out by the patrol soldiers.

Seeing that this brother was full of anger but couldn't speak, he walked to the door of the examination room to watch the lively Owen couldn't help but want to laugh.

"If you want to make trouble, you must at least have enough strength to make trouble!" In the examination room next to him, a mocking voice came out, "If you don't have the strength, at least you have to have eyesight." These patrol soldiers all have the emblems of high-ranking members of various martial arts schools, and they are obviously elites of various factions, maybe they were specially invited from Kalipura. With this guy's ability, if you want to make trouble, you should be thankful that you won't be killed on the spot!"

Owen finally couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, he went back to the examination room and sat down again and began to answer the paper seriously.

The grassroots aristocracy is not in a position to recruit a large number of people, and many things have to be done by themselves. Those who know this knowledge will at least not become a waste wood lord who knows nothing.

Probably, this is the intention of Count Tara Khan to produce this volume, right?

"It seems that the exam papers on the first day are very effective!" In the evening, when the pandas were having dinner, someone sighed, "It's a good idea to reverse the order of the three test papers!"

"yes, that's a good idea. Eric nodded, "If you follow the original plan and test your general knowledge on the first day, you may not have the effect of screening and prestige." ”

"Who said they can't stand up?" Panda, who participated in the compilation of the exam papers, was unhappy, "I guarantee that when they see the last two big questions, they will feel a strong coercion!"

When these words were spoken, the traversers who were also involved in the compilation of the examination papers could not laugh.

After a while, someone sighed, "Panda, what are the questions you came up with...... If you want to put it on the earth, you will definitely be killed. ”

"How is that possible! It's just a little harder. Panda said nonchalantly, "Draw a diagram, write out the corresponding function, and then deduce the effective interval in practical application according to this function and part of the given data, which is simply a question in the college entrance examination!"

"It's a little harder, it's completely crazy, okay!," Loma exclaimed, "the world's math hasn't gotten that far yet!"

Panda snorted coldly and glanced at Loma with disdainful eyes, looking too lazy to explain to him.

Eric next to him sighed and explained, "This is not a difficult question for magicians. After all, learning magic always involves studying mathematics. It's just that...... Most scholars don't spend their time and energy on mathematics that they don't need......"

"What about this topic?"

"Anyway, we are merit-based, and we have to be poor together, so there is no difference. ”

Their negotiation decided the tragic fate of the candidates on the last day......
