Back at the hotel, after a passion with Yelena, he lazily lay on the bed and decided his next destination.

Johnson was holding his mobile phone, scrolling through the circle of friends when he was idle, and suddenly saw a news and said with a smile: "I will go to Denmark tomorrow!"

Yelena was stunned for a moment, and her delicate little face suddenly surprised: "Really?"

Johnson shook his mobile phone and said, "I heard that the coastline there has been invaded by a large number of oysters, and even the official has announced that I hope that foodies from all over the world will hurry up and save them!"

Yelena took the phone curiously, and couldn't help but smile after reading it: "Actually, I have long wanted to go to Denmark, especially this month, it is absolutely lively!"

When Johnson saw that the little girl was still selling Guanzi, he directly pressed it down and punished him again.

When I came to Copenhagen at noon the next day, I just put my luggage in the hotel, and I was pulled directly by Yelena to a small town called Nyborg not far away, which was crowded with people, and it turned out to be the annual Nyborg Knights' Day?

I have known for a long time that she is a fan of American dramas, and the last time she visited A Song of Ice and Fire, now it is a live version of Game of Thrones?

Looking at the magnificent scenes, the elaborate costumes, the glittering steel armor, the powerful knightly battles, and the folk music with a very European medieval style, all of them are displayed in front of your eyes, making you feel like you are in a European town hundreds of years ago......

The once quiet town is packed with tourists and has a festive atmosphere, and this folk festival that was part of medieval European life hundreds of years ago is still repeated every year. Everyone carries on that history and way of life through costumes, performances, interactions, etc.

The open area of the town's castle has long been filled with many tents, which are set up spontaneously by local residents, and there are some related holiday souvenir displays, and some handicrafts can also be sold. On the grass are a variety of knights' equipment accessories, including helmets and gloves.

The reason why it was chosen here was that it used to be the concentration of the highest state power in Denmark, where the royal family, nobles, and high-ranking officials and viscounts lived for a long time. From 1536 to 1560 AD, Nyburg became the first official capital. The glorious history has endowed Nibao with a profound ancient city temperament, like a master of Taoism, and its legend is still circulating in the rivers and lakes.

Johnson looked at the dazzling array of equipment, helmets, breastplates, iron plates on protective shoulders and elbows, swords, spears, tents, all of which were restored 100% to 100%, especially all kinds of armor, which weighed dozens of pounds.

Finally understand why knights can be the saviors of fairy tales?

In 761, a lord of Alemania used his ancestral estate and a slave in exchange for a horse and a sword, which shows the high cost of knights' equipment.

A heavily armed knight would require at least 12 fiefs, which would be about 300-450 acres. During the time of Charlemagne, it took at least 300-600 acres of arable land and more than 100 subordinate farmers to maintain the expenses of a knight on weekdays and wartime.

War horses, in particular, are staggeringly priced, about the equivalent of a sharecropper's income for 10 years. In order to maintain the speed of the march and change at any time, a regular knight often had to be equipped with three horses, which were used for riding in peacetime, carrying equipment, and charging in battle.

The armor was tailor-made, and ancient metal was not cheap, with a set of full-body armor costing about 23 bulls in the 8th century, £6 shillings and 4p in the 15th century, and a good yew longbow costing 40pence.

Even here, a handmade plate armor can cost tens of thousands of euros at a minimum!

Not to mention the knight, even a dog crawling next to it is a rare breed, what is it called Scottish Deer Hound?

It is said that in the past, only the royal family could breed, and it was slender and one meter tall when standing, and because it had a muzzle, it looked very docile. All the staff are dressed in traditional costumes from centuries ago, and they look like a movie plot.

Johnson couldn't help but put on a Crusader chain mail, good fellow, as if he was carrying a big stone on his back, and it was a little difficult to walk.

At ten o'clock, the grass was lively, the knight battle performance began, and the surrounding rope enclosed an area, and the staff briefly introduced the rules of the game, Danish, I don't understand, and the general meaning is a one-to-one battle, three games and two wins and so on.

Two knights dressed in armor entered the middle area, and after the ceremony, they began to fight, sword and shield in their hands. At first, Johnson thought it was a simple performance, and there are many such showcases in China.

I didn't expect it to come up, more than a dozen pounds of heavy swords and tigers, like enemies meeting, and the scene suddenly only heard the stimulating sound of the steel sword smashing on the iron armor.

The audience was happy and applauded loudly, and the two of them worked for more than 20 minutes before finishing their work, tired and sweating, which was very enjoyable.

End the battle and start the parade. A team of knights marched in the direction of the town, and it is estimated that the next game is a knight riding battle, and the one in the middle should be a magistrate, everyone is dressed well, especially the black war horse, fat and strong.

When I came to the central square of the town, a sandy area was specially opened, more than 100 meters square, and the audience was already standing around. To become a qualified knight, you must begin training at the age of seven, join the ranks of the nobles' courtiers, and stay away from your mother to avoid distractions.

Serve lords and noblewomen, learn urbane ways of socializing, including singing, dancing, and playing the lute, and learn basic martial arts and horsemanship. At the age of fourteen, he became a knight's servant, serving at home and abroad.

Mainly take care of the owner's weapons and horses, and regularly participate in drill battles, which are no different from real wars, often causing a large number of casualties. Keep practising with a spear and stabbing at the target. At the age of twenty-one, the novice behaved well and satisfied the master before he was granted the status of a knight.

Armor made up to 200 pieces of steel was worn on battle, and the armor of men and horses together weighed 60 kilograms. The heavy knights marching at full speed were an unstoppable force, like fortresses and siege artillery.

The Byzantine emperor Alexus praised that a Frank man with a spear was able to poke a hole in the walls of Babylon.

The knight who ran was the tank of that era, enough to destroy everything!

I saw that the two sides of the battle began to charge, and the spears kept colliding, making a crisp crashing sound, without too many fancy, all by strength and speed.

Even if one side loses, out of fear of God and out of consideration for their fellowship, they do not harm each other, and they are more interested in capturing than killing the fugitive.

Of course, a living knight was more valuable than a dead one, and relatives or feudal lords usually paid a handsome ransom for the captive. Kill a knight and get up to his horse, armor, and weapons. However, capturing a knight will give you a large amount of gold.

Therefore, in ancient wars, the casualties of knights were relatively small, on the contrary, ordinary people suffered heavy losses. The commanders tried to avoid head-on encounters and instead carried out cavalry assaults on the territory of the opponent. Raid villages, burn houses, destroy crops, kill livestock.

At the end of all the performances, bagpipes sounded all around, everyone was singing and dancing on the grass, and suddenly an old man with a long beard, who looked like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings, suddenly appeared?
