this day.
The Imperial Library is open as usual, but it closes earlier than usual.
Some people who didn't know were surprised at first, but after being told the reason, they all nodded in agreement and left.
It turns out there is an exam!
The Imperial Library is not only a library institution, but it is also one of several places in King's Landing that trains talents. It produces some outstanding scholars every year.
Although the number cannot be compared with the Imperial Knight Academy and the Imperial Monastery, it cannot be ignored that many high-ranking figures in the empire have also emerged from here.
Every June and December, librarian selections are held here.
Librarians are the bottom layer of the library system.
From this upward, scholars, bachelors, and bachelors.
The director of the library is a great bachelor, a knight, and even one of the king's staff, and he is also considered one of the most prestigious people in the empire.
After all, even knights, although they despise ordinary people, have a different attitude towards scholars. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, a group of combat professionals will be more or less in awe of knowledge that they do not understand.
So we can also know here that the original guy actually left a lot of good things for Eli.
If it weren't for Salin Metatlin's bad taste, he might one day become a big figure stirring up trouble in the empire.
It's a pity that all this was left to Eli who came through time.
What a nice guy.
…
"Hey, long time no see, Eli."
At the entrance of the library, Eli met Kate, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Today he wore black pants, a black top, and slightly inferior gold armbands on the cuffs. It was obvious that he had dressed up well today.
"How are you? Are you ready? How are you preparing?" Kate asked with concern when she saw Eli, almost writing "very well prepared" on his face.
Eli looked at Kate in front of him and felt his head hurt.
There are so many people, why do you keep staring at me?
It's very annoying.
Is it just because he is a "stupid student"? Don’t scumbags have human rights?
Faced with Kate's question, Eli could only smile and said, "It's okay."
"Really? I didn't prepare much. I just briefly looked at it. For example, I didn't look at the coat of arms too much. I hope I won't take too many exams. And..." Obviously Kate doesn't care about Eli's progress at all. No matter what, he just wanted to talk about his "simple preparation" in front of Eli.
In response, Eli glanced at Kate, casually made an excuse, and immediately slipped into the library door.
Looking at Eli leaving, the worry on Kate's face slowly faded away, her body straightened, the corners of her mouth began to rise, and she showed a confident expression on her face.
He patted the golden armband on his sleeve and strode into the library.
…
What happened to Kate was just a sideshow.
By the time Eli arrived at the library hall, there were already twenty or thirty temporary librarians gathered in the hall, all standing in twos and threes, as if waiting for something.
Eli didn't know many of these people, so he simply found a place to stand.
"I don't know if it's enough?" Eli looked at the people around him. Everyone was his competitor.
I don’t know if the mere fifty books he has memorized are enough!
In the past thirteen days, Eli has devoted his time to books after work every day. On average, he can read three to four books every day after get off work until twelve o'clock. Including other things, he has read about fifty books. Ben or so.
Among them, history and heraldry accounted for half, followed by medicine and botany, and the rest were miscellaneous subjects that were not overly in-depth.
After waiting for a while, there were more and more temporary administrators, and the number gradually increased to thirty people. Kate also strode in with her head held high, as if she had already won.
Eli ignored him because someone came from the other entrance.
Bachelor Lemon came in, still wearing the familiar black robe and holding a book, but at this time, he was followed by two young men, also wearing library clothes.
"Let's all find a place to sit apart, but don't sit together." Maester Lemon said casually.
The library table itself is a great place to take exams.
Eli found a random place and sat down.
Maester Lemon took out a stack of test papers from his black robe and handed them to the two people behind him, who then distributed the test papers to everyone.
An exam from another world.
It is also a key node that determines Eli's fate in the future.
Open the test paper!
"I hope it's not too difficult or too in-depth." Eli took a deep breath and then solemnly opened the test paper.
A few seconds later.
Eli was stunned.
Not because it's too difficult, but because it's too easy.
"so easy!"
He looked at the test papers in front of him. Most of them were simple history questions, a lot of noble heraldry, and some basic common sense. There were no thinking questions, other fill-in-the-blank questions, or big questions.
Eli:…
This is different from what he thought!
Did he think it was difficult? The result was this, which made it difficult for him to end his nervousness!
After flipping through it, Eli picked up the quill and started writing quickly. He couldn't finish this paper in twenty minutes. That's because he was too weak.
at the same time.
Kate looked at the test paper in front of her, her throat moving slightly.
This test paper... is a little more difficult than the previous ones!
The imperial history test is very abstract, and the heraldry of the nobility is also very complicated. The general knowledge questions are a bit biased, and some are mixed together. It doesn't look simple at all.
This was several times more difficult than the previous test papers he purchased.
He picked up the pen and started to write, but he always frowned before writing a few strokes and stopped for a few seconds. It was obvious that he had a hard time answering the questions.
"It's so difficult, but I find it difficult. Others may be dying of discomfort at this time." Kate sighed confidently, raising her head, ready to see the situation of others.
Sure enough, everyone in the film had ugly faces at this time and couldn't answer at all.
"I don't know what the name of that one is... uh, what is it? It seems that the one named Eli is doing well in the exam."
It took Kate a long time to remember Eli's name. Although he occasionally chatted with Eli, it was all purposeful to show off. As for the name, he really didn't remember it.
In his heart, he still looked down on Eli, not only Eli, but also other administrators who were worse than him. He always felt that he was the best.
When he looked at Eli, he saw only one scene: the sun was shining on Eli, his quill flying on the paper, and then with a silky stroke, Eli threw the pen into the pen holder with a snap.
give up?
Kate smiled happily.
"Sure enough, I probably don't know anything and have absolutely no idea what to do." Kate smiled happily.
