King of German Mercenaries

When Marin negotiated with Charles II in the Principality of Geddes, in the northwest Germany, Marin's magical experience was also spread by the bards who participated in Marin's enthronement ceremony.

Marin's own legendary story told at the enthronement ceremony has been adapted into a rap story by several bards and has begun to be performed in various cities in Northwest Germany. Then, these legendary stories were passed on by people, spread all over the Northwest Germany area, and spread to other areas...

In the pub, people drink beer and talk about Marlin's magical experience:

"You said, that lucky man named Marin, who was a wandering knight who was dying of starvation four years ago, is now an earl?" Drinker A sighed.

"Well, Lord Dodge (one of the bards) said this. It is said that it was told by Marin himself at the enthronement ceremony, and he swore it to be true." The second drinker replied.

"Really? That's too incredible, isn't it? In four years, from a poor boy who is not even a nobleman to an earl, it's even more legendary than a legend..." Drinker A was amazed.

"It's true that he's a poor boy, but he's also a descendant of a former earl, not like you, a country alcoholic..." At this time, a jazz in the tavern's private seat said to Drinker A with contempt.

Although Drinker A was very unconvinced, he couldn't find a reason to refute, and he didn't dare to refute a knight. Because, in the country area, the jazz is definitely a tyrannical side, only the status is equal, but the more rough knight can be the bully.

"It's really amazing. He can use three or four thousand infantry to defeat 8,000 elite French knights. His commanding ability is really amazing. I began to believe that Your Excellency Marin is indeed favored by God. Because, ordinary officers, can't do it at all!" After listening to Dodge's story, a wandering knight commented with excitement.

"What's even more powerful is that it was said that Mr. Marin was stupid before and almost starved to death. Later, God sent a great sage to enlighten him, and he suddenly became wiser and changed his personality. You know, before that , Your Excellency Marin was cheated out of all his money by a liar..." said another wandering knight who was drinking.

"Yes, yes, it's really amazing! I think my martial arts skills are very good, but I don't have any commanding skills. It would be nice if I could be enlightened by a great sage sent by God and suddenly become smart..." The burly wandering knight said with a look of longing.

"It is said that His Excellency Marin slept all night in a haystack behind a monastery in a small town called Kassel near Bonn on the Rhine. He was cold and hungry, but insisted on praying to God. God seemed to feel it. His prayer, the next day he sent Daxian to give him advice..." At this time, the bard Dodge, who had just finished drinking a glass of black beer invited by others, came over and interjected.

"Really? The town of Cashel? The haystacks behind the monastery?"

"It's absolutely true, Your Excellency Marin said it himself!" It was indeed Marin who said it himself, but the specific information about Cashel Town was told by Marin to those curious people the next day. Several bards were also curious about this and heard the news.

"Why don't we try it too?" The burly wandering knight suggested to the other two wandering knights.

"Then what are you waiting for? Leave early tomorrow!"

"Okay, together! Let's also accept God's favor!"

In this way, the three second-hand wandering knights, in the winter, really went to the sleeping haystacks of the monastery in Cashel Town...

Of course, these three second-hand goods are not the only group of people who went to Cashel Abbey to find opportunities. There are many people who have made the same choice as them, all of them are wandering knights.

Marin's story stimulated them the most, because their current identities were no different from Marin four years ago. The only difference is that Marin has the blood of a great noble.

But that's not a problem either,

These wandering knights don't want to be counts either. Even if they are a hereditary baron lord like Marin before, they are very powerful. What they are looking forward to is the improvement of wisdom, especially the improvement of military command ability.

These wandering knights, although they have read books since childhood. However, because I was used to using muscles to solve problems since I was a child, I don't like to use my brain very much. Therefore, even though many people are literate, they are still scumbags. They are completely unable to use tactics like Marin to defeat the most powerful king in Europe, the King of France.

Even, many wandering knights feel that as long as they can make him smarter, make military exploits, and be named an official knight, they will thank God...

The reason why these things happened is also related to the focus of the propaganda of the bards. Marin went from an idiot who was cheated out of his money to suddenly a very smart person. This plot is too magical and very refreshing. Therefore, in order to attract more customers, a few bards, based on this, made a big fuss and made up the story in a fantastic way. A bard even said that when Marin was about to starve to death, his prayer moved God, and a divine light descended from the sky and directly hit Marin's head, directly transforming Marin's brain, making him from Stupid becomes extremely smart...

After listening to the bard's flickering, many people unanimously decided that the haystack behind the monastery in Cashel Township is not simple, it is a holy place, and it is easy for God to hear the prayers of believers...

Therefore, after hearing this story, many wandering knights mounted their horses one after another, regardless of Christmas in a few days. Going to Cashel Abbey to pray for God's blessing is the most important thing...

Others, even if they didn't go to the haystacks behind Cashel Abbey to spend the night like the wandering knights, were easily drawn to this real-life version of the story and told it to their friends.

So, with the great propaganda of several bards and word of mouth among people, Marin became completely famous in Northwest Germany. It is believed that Marin was a lucky one who was favored by God. Otherwise, he wouldn't suddenly change from a fool who was defrauded of all his money to a smart and lucky person who successfully regained his ancestor's inheritance...

For this reason, people gave Marin a nickname - "God's Blessed One"...

The reason why it is called God's Blessed One is that everyone thinks that Marin's luck is too bad, and he is blessed by God. So, call him the favored one...

Then, the name "Blessed One" spread like wildfire and spread throughout Germany and even Europe. When people talk about Marlin, they say - look, that's a very lucky guy who was blessed by God!
