As Stoick spoke, his gaze was exceptionally firm, willing to be Hiccup's most solid backing. Even if everyone on the entire island opposed it, he would never retreat a single step.
Hiccup nodded and said, "Okay! I believe you!"
After the father and son exchanged glances, they both saw the unspoken words in each other's eyes.
But the bond between father and son is like this; sometimes, you really don't need to say too much. A cup of wine, a simple 'I believe you,' 'I support you' is enough!
In reality, Hiccup also knew that Stoick wanted to understand when Hiccup had learned to train Dragons, and from whom.
What was the purpose of building public restrooms, and why wouldn't he distribute the Dragons to the villagers? Stoick decided to keep all these questions to himself; he believed that one day, Hiccup would prove it to him.
Just as he had convinced himself when he tamed the Dragon in the Dragon Jail.
After Stoick laboriously squeezed out of the small wooden house, he wobbled towards his big house.
Hiccup, meanwhile, looked at the remnants on the table, sealed the remaining half bottle of wine, and then examined the helmet in front of him.
The horns on it were yak horns, and the iron helmet was probably polished daily by his cheap father, so it only had traces of weapon marks and no rust at all.
Hiccup murmured to himself, "This cheap father is a man!"
Afterward, Hiccup began to dismantle the helmet. It wasn't that Hiccup disliked the helmet's appearance; he simply felt that he could make a better helmet, one more suited to himself.
If it wasn't suitable, it would ultimately just be a decoration, and his cheap father would certainly prefer him to wear this helmet every day.
When the sky brightened the next day, Hiccup comfortably used toilet paper to solve his worries.
"It's still more comfortable with toilet paper!"
With that, Hiccup whistled, and Night Fury immediately bounced and appeared before him, instinctively leaning in to wash Hiccup's face with its saliva.
However, Hiccup dodged directly with a flash, raised his hand to scratch its chin, and said in Dragon Language, "Still trying to sneak attack me!"
Night Fury enjoyed it immensely, raising its chin and moving back and forth to cooperate with Hiccup's hand.
"Let's go!" With that, Hiccup flipped onto Night Fury's neck, and Night Fury instantly soared into the sky.
After circling in the sky, he saw that some people were still willing to listen to him and use the public restrooms. Those who weren't willing didn't relieve themselves anywhere, but rather in their own sheep pens.
From the sky, he could even see Vikings chasing sheep and plucking their wool without pulling up their pants; the back halves of many sheep were basically bald.
Moreover, wool doesn't grow back quickly, so they would eventually freeze to death due to too little wool.
Afterward, Night Fury brought Hiccup back to the Blacksmith Shop. As soon as they landed, Gobber immediately lifted his helmet and said boastfully, "Hey! Hiccup, come and see! The Death Song Ballista is ready!"
Indeed, Hiccup had already seen the Death Song Ballista placed in the center of the Blacksmith Shop. At the back was a crank, which also used the principle of leverage, allowing it to easily pull a bowstring with hundreds of pounds of force!
And it operated in rapid-fire mode; as long as there were enough arrows, continuously turning the crank would allow for uninterrupted arrow firing.
Below it was a rolling ball, which allowed the Death Song Ballista, once fixed, to still attack enemies within a 270-degree range.
Gobber laboriously carried a bundle of spears over and said, "Time was too short, so I could only use spears instead!"
Hiccup looked at the Death Song Ballista and said, "No! This isn't a matter of substitution at all!"
"As long as the arrows are made into spears, it won't affect their use, and then soldiers will also have spears for combat!"
"If it's not enough, soldiers can even pick up the arrows and use them as spears!"
"The length, thickness, and weight should all be uniform."
Gobber instantly realized, "That's right! And they can be made into detachable spears!"
"This way, it's not only convenient for combat but also convenient to carry!"
Hiccup nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the Terror Dragon sunbathing and said, "This little guy is still too few!"
Immediately, Hiccup placed the Terror Dragon on his shoulder and said, "Take me to find your kind!"
"Quack, quack~~!"
The Terror Dragon's cry was very unique, a bit like a bird's call and a bit like a Dragon's roar.
"Roar~~!"
Night Fury seemed to let out a Dragon roar as if showing off, then provocatively looked at the Terror Dragon on Hiccup's shoulder.
However, the Terror Dragon directly raised its head, ignoring Night Fury, which made Night Fury jump up and down several times in anger.
"Alright! Let's go!"
With that, Hiccup directly sat on Night Fury's neck to search for the Terror Dragon tribe. Although these Dragons are small, they also appear in groups, and because of their small size, there are still some around Berk Island.
"Roar!"
At this moment, Astrid, riding Stormfly, chased after him and said, "Good morning! Where are you going!?"
Hiccup casually said, "To find Dragons!"
"Great! Let me go on an adventure with you too!" Astrid said expectantly.
Just then, a burst of shouting came from behind.
"You stupid brother, don't always give random orders! Why should my Dragon listen to you!"
"Bullshit! This is clearly my Dragon! Why can't I command it!"
The Twins, riding the Hideous Zippleback, appeared in Hiccup's line of sight.
When the Twin sister saw Hiccup, she immediately put on what she thought was a very gentle smile and said, "Good morning, handsome, charming, dashing, and great Hiccup Warrior!"
Hiccup immediately said, "You two Twins don't cooperate well! Go train right now, don't wander around!"
"Yes! Ruffnut will absolutely obey the Hiccup Warrior's orders!" With that, Ruffnut turned and yelled at her brother, "Aren't you going to train, you blockhead brother!"
"You stupid Twin sister, if you dare to yell at me again, don't blame me for dealing with you!"
The Twins left, bickering, and Hiccup looked at their retreating figures with extreme helplessness.
Leaving aside their appearance and their strength, just looking at the Twin sister's speed of changing her expression, it was clear that this was her personality.
Perhaps during a passionate romance, she might restrain herself and become a different person, but after truly getting married, you would find that she wasn't revealing her true nature; she had always been like that.
It was just that you were misled by the appearance she put on back then.
While you can't control someone and prevent them from falling in love with you, you can control yourself to stay away from her until she falls for the next person.
Afterward, Hiccup patted Night Fury's head and said, "Let's go!"
