When Marin was negotiating with Charles II in the Principality of Gerdes, in the Northwest Germany, Marin's magical experience was also spread by the bards who participated in Marin's coronation 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 from one to another, spread throughout Northwest Germany, and spread to other regions...
In the tavern, people were drinking beer while talking about Marin's magical experience:
"You said, that lucky guy named Marin, who was a wandering knight who was starving to death four years ago, is now an earl?" Drinker A sighed.
"Well, Lord Dodge (one of the bards) said so. It is said that Marin himself told it at the enthronement ceremony, and swore it was true." Drinker B replied.
"Really? That's unbelievable, right? In four years, from a poor boy who is not even a nobleman to an earl, it is even more legendary than a legend..." Drinker A was amazed again and again.
"It's true that he is a poor boy, but he is also a descendant of the former earl. You, a country alcoholic, can't be compared..." At this time, a jazz in the private seat of the tavern 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 jazz. Because, in the rural areas, the jazz is absolutely powerful, and only knights with equal status but rougher can compete with them.
"It's really amazing. I can use three or four thousand infantry to defeat 8,000 elite French knights. The command ability is really amazing. I began to believe that His Excellency Marin is indeed favored by God. Because ordinary officers can't do it at all!" After hearing Dodge's story, the wandering knight commented excitedly.
"What's more, it is said that His Excellency Marin was stupid before, and he almost starved to death. Later, God sent a great sage to enlighten him, and then he suddenly became smarter, as if he had changed. You know, before that , His Excellency Marin was cheated of all his money by a liar..." said another wandering knight who was drinking.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed amazing! I think my martial arts are very good, but I don't have much commanding ability. If I can be enlightened by the great sage sent by God like His Excellency Marin, it would be great..." a The burly wandering knight said with a longing face.
"It is said that His Excellency Marin slept all night in the haystack behind the monastery in a small town called Kassel near Bonn on the banks of the Rhine. He was cold and hungry, but he insisted on praying to God. God seemed to feel it. His prayer, the next day he sent a great sage to guide him..." At this time, the bard Dodge, who had just finished drinking a glass of dark beer invited by others, came over and interjected.
"Really? The small town of Cashel? The haystacks behind the monastery?"
"It's absolutely true, His Majesty Marin said it himself!" It was indeed Marin who said it himself, but the specific information about Castle Town was told by Marin to those curious people the next day. Several bards were also very curious about this and found out 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 tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, together! We also want to accept God's favor!"
Just like that, the three vagabond knights, in the middle of winter, really went to the monastery in Cashel Town to sleep on haystacks...
Of course, these three bastards were not the only ones who went to Cashel Abbey to find opportunities. Many people who made the same choice as them are wandering knights.
Marin's story stimulated them the most, because their current identities were no different from Marin's four years ago. The only difference is that Marin has the blood of a great noble.
But this is not a problem. These wandering knights don't want to be earls, even if they are a hereditary baron lord like Marin before, they are very powerful. What they expect is mainly the improvement of wisdom, especially the improvement of military command ability.
Although these wandering knights have read books since they were young. However, because I have been used to solving problems with my muscles since I was a child, I don't like to use my brain very much. Therefore, even if many people are literate, they are still scumbags. They are completely unable to use tactics like Marin, win more with less, and defeat the most powerful king in Europe-the king of France.
Even, many wandering knights feel that as long as he can be smarter, make achievements in battle, and be named an official knight, he will thank God...
The reason why these situations happened is also related to the focus of the bards' propaganda. Marin turned from a fool who was cheated out of his money to a very smart person. This plot is too magical and refreshing. Therefore, in order to attract more customers, several bards, based on this, made a big fuss and made the story magical. Even, a bard said that when Marin was about to starve to death, his prayer moved God, and a divine light fell from the sky, directly hitting Marin's head, directly transforming Marin's brain, making him Stupid turned into a very smart person...
After listening to the bard's flicker, many people agreed that the haystack behind the monastery in Cashel Town 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 got on their horses one after another, regardless of Christmas a few days later. Going to Cashel Abbey to pray for God's blessing is the most important thing...
And other people, even if they don't go to the haystack behind Cashel Abbey to spend the night like those wandering knights, are easily attracted by this realistic version of the story and tell it to their friends.
Therefore, with the vigorous publicity of several bards and word of mouth among people, Marin has become completely famous in Northwest Germany. It is believed that Marin is a lucky one who has been favored by God. Otherwise, he wouldn't suddenly change from a fool who was cheated out of his money to a smart and lucky person, and successfully regained the inheritance of his ancestors...
For this reason, people gave Marin a nickname - "God's Blessed One"...
The reason why it is called God's Blessed is that everyone thinks that Marin's luck is too bad, and he is blessed by God. So, call him God's Blessed...
Then, the title of "God's Blessed One" spread like wildfire, and spread throughout Germany and even Europe. When people mention Marin, they will say-look, that is a very lucky guy who is blessed by God!
