The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin soon publicly announced the "return of the primogeniture", and the news that Adler was canonized as the hereditary Earl of Wicklow of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea caused a shock in the German region and surrounding countries.

The story of the rise of Marin, the Grand Duke of Beihai from a wandering knight to a Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy, is widely circulated in Europe. Because, this is simply the myth of a grassroots counterattack, which is even more incredible than the bloody plot of the knight marrying the princess in the knight novel.

However, many nobles know that as the second son of the Hoffman family, Marin has a eldest brother even if he has the bloodline of the Blok family, the former count of East Frisland. Therefore, many German princes who were hostile to Marin often questioned Marin's legitimacy on the grounds that "Marin broke the rule of primogeniture". Moreover, this argument has many supporters. After all, the European aristocratic circle is very particular about the rules. In addition, this is a very important stain on Marin's body, which is exactly the reason for his opponents to attack.

These princes who opposed Marin completely ignored the fact that the Hoffman family belonged to Marin. As for Marin's contribution to the country, they think that it's not a matter of course that the younger brother helps the elder brother to fight the country?

Marin was speechless about their shameless remarks, but many conservative European nobles agreed with this point of view. Moreover, this point of view can be used to question the legitimacy of Marin's status, and Marin's opponents naturally enjoy it.

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of Adler's son, Marin finally made up his mind this time to announce that he had indeed "borrowed" Adler's inheritance before. However, to give him an earl title, and to add an autonomous county with a large area, he definitely has a clear conscience...

This statement is accepted by most people. Indeed, what Adler gave up at the beginning was only the right of inheritance to an uninheritable earl title, not a ready-made earl title and earldom. Therefore, Marin also gave Adler an earl title and an autonomous earldom, which is definitely interesting.

Of course, there are also objections - since it is a return, why not return East Friesland? But it's pure fault finding. Marin's capital is now in East Friesland. You asked him to return East Friesland, didn't you force him to give up the core area of ​​the capital where he had been operating for many years? Doesn't this show that it is unreasonable?

And old opponents of Marin, such as Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, think that it is no problem to return a county elsewhere, but is County Wicklow, Ireland, too remote? At any rate, you should also take a good local place, such as the hometown of Bochum on the Ruhr River...

Malin immediately had 10,000 MMPs to talk about - Nimad, the Ruhr area is his future industrial core area, how could it be sealed off? But Marin is not easy to refute the words of Frederick III, why? Because from the perspective of bystanders, it is indeed quite appropriate to seal Adler in his home Ruhr area... Of course, this is the view of outsiders without knowing the huge potential value of the Ruhr area...

...

In the end, it was Adler who helped to clear the siege - Adler said,

Very satisfied with getting Wicklow County as a fief. At the same time, Adler also announced that he would confer 50 knights as vassals in his counties in the future.

This news is more intriguing than his announcement that he is satisfied with the fief, because, this is an opportunity...

Wandering knights are a very common creature in Germany. After all, in addition to the eldest son as the heir, those knight families often have second sons, third sons, fourth sons, etc...

Once adults, these non-eldest sons, who have no right to inherit, have to leave the family to make a living. If there is a way, maybe you can help to contact the way in advance to make it worry-free in the future. And those who don't have a way can only be like the original Marin, leading a horse, bringing weapons and armor to wander... If you are lucky, you can meet a big noble who is willing to hire him and get a stable career. For example, being a bodyguard or something. No matter how lucky you are, if you mix up some military exploits or something, you might get a fief and become an official knight.

But most of the knights are not so lucky, and many people may not be able to eat enough after wandering. Then, some wandering knights succumbed to reality and chose to serve as guards for those wealthy civilian businessmen. And some depraved, even in order to survive, will choose to be robbers...

For these wandering knights, the best result is definitely to become a prince like Marin. However, they also knew that the odds of that ending were too low. Because they don't have that IQ...

Therefore, in order to become as smart as Marin, many wandering knights even went to the haystack where Marin once slept on the Rhine River. They wanted to be favored by God like Marin and sent a "great sage". enlighten them...

Of course, no one has ever succeeded. So, after getting 20 haystacks to charge Cashel Abbey, after defrauding money for a few years, now there is no fool wandering knight to be deceived again...

And after returning to reality, those wandering knights, the highest dream, is almost to get an official knight title, and then get a manor...

Often, the place of a fief knight can be smashed. Now, there are 50 opportunities in front of you all at once... Suddenly, the wandering knights from all over Germany are rushing towards Aurich...

But then Adler announced that there is absolutely no need for any wandering knight who has been a robber and has done evil things, as long as he is a decent person... Moreover, even if he gets away with it, if he finds out later, he will be deprived of his knighthood and take back his fief... …

As a result, many wandering knights stopped going to Aurich. Because they did bad things...

...

Then, considering the safety factor, Marin announced that the Earl of Wicklow Knight had selected the scene and transferred from Aurich to Port Emden. Because, after the assessment, Adler will take the knights who have passed the assessment to County Wicklow, Ireland.

Moreover, the title of knight is not awarded if you are selected. You must fight against the natives of Ireland and gain military exploits before you can be awarded the title of knight and 600 acres of fief.

As for why 600 acres and not the popular 1000 acres in Shinra? Marin's explanation is that the island of Ireland is a territory under the rule of the British king, and it must be done according to the rules of England...

Although it is a bit unhappy about the area of ​​the fief, for the vast majority of wandering knights, it is already a great luck to obtain the title of knight and fief, how dare you be picky? Moreover, the fief of the English Knights is indeed 600 acres, and Marin is not talking nonsense.

Therefore, the wandering knights from all over Germany continued to rush to Emden, the venue for selection, to participate in this knight event to gain wealth...
