All the villagers' faces were beaming with excited smiles as they gathered around, as if they were the ones who had just ridden the Dragon into the sky.
Because Chief Stoick had taken all the warriors on Berk Island to find the Dragon Nest, most of the people left on Berk Island were the old, weak, women, and children.
But these old, weak, women, and children were just as strong, just as capable of carrying shields onto the battlefield, which meant they also revered the strong.
From time to time, a 'Oh My God!' would come from various directions.
"Oh my heavens! Hiccup has actually become a Dragon Knight!"
"That's great! Hiccup has become a Dragon Knight, so we won't have to worry about Dragons attacking the village anymore!"
"With Hiccup, Berk Island will surely become even stronger!"
Seeing the villagers gradually closing in, Terrible Terror became a little restless, so Hiccup patted its Dragon horn and said, "Don't be afraid!"
The villagers walked forward with curious expressions, stroking Terrible Terror's scales and its Dragon horns.
From each of their eyes, one could see the desire to ascend to the heavens; after all, the Viking tradition was to conquer the raging seas and move forests, but they lacked the conquest of the sky.
Adventure was the nature of Vikings, and although most people had some fear of heights, this did not affect their fervent desire to conquer the sky.
"Roar~~~"
Terrible Terror, after all, was still unwilling to be watched by so many people, its pupils constantly rotating with the grain, but there were too many people around, so it felt a little dizzy.
After letting out a roar, it quickly hid behind Hiccup.
Then Hiccup said to the villagers, "Everyone! The Dragon has just been tamed and still needs time to get used to things!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers reluctantly left, but what they saw today would definitely keep them excited for a month.
After all, for a novice to transform into a powerful Dragon Knight, in their eyes, it was simply a blessing from Odin.
After all the villagers had left, Gobber led a group of companions and gathered around.
Astrid stared blankly at Hiccup, muttering to herself, "He did it, he actually did it!"
Suddenly, Astrid's confidence suffered a severe blow; she had always thought she was the strongest warrior on Berk Island, but now the outcome had changed.
However, although Astrid was struck, she did not become disheartened; instead, she looked at Hiccup with a different kind of gaze.
She even murmured to herself, "Shouldn't girls always be protected by strong Knights!?
The Twin sister had a lovesick expression, timidly approaching Hiccup, seemingly looking for an opportunity to pounce into Hiccup's arms and forcefully kiss him with her fishy-smelling mouth.
Hiccup had already perceived the Twin sister's movements, and knowing the plot well, Hiccup knew that the Twin sister was a passionate and unrestrained character, the kind that was overly unrestrained.
"Hiccup! I love you so much I can't extricate myself!" she shrieked, leaping to pounce into Hiccup's arms.
Fortunately, he was prepared, and with a swift dodge, he swapped positions with the chubby Fishlegs.
And the Twins (Brother) stood in place, straightening his back, closing his eyes as if in judgment, and said, "A great Dragon Knight should protect more people!"
"Now, as your brother, I agree to Knight Hiccup marrying my sister, of course..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Astrid delivered a flying kick and said from above, "The wind was too strong just now, what did you say!?
Hiccup had a headache seeing this scene, so he turned, mounted Terrible Terror, and flew directly towards the Blacksmith Shop.
Under the envious gazes of his companions, he soared into the sky and landed at the entrance of the Blacksmith Shop in less than a minute.
Indeed, with a Dragon, travel became much more convenient, with no speed limits, no traffic jams, and an extremely strong driving feel!
He opened the door of the Blacksmith Shop and quickly made a row of buckle molds of various sizes.
Then he snapped his fingers at Terrible Terror and said, "Breathe fire at this!"
"Roar~~"
Terrible Terror gathered its strength and then sprayed out a high-temperature flame, instantly melting the iron block into molten iron!
Hiccup waved his hand, and the flame immediately stopped; after all, it wasn't directly smelting raw iron, but making stainless steel, so the materials and processes required were not only numerous but also complex.
He casually threw a sea fish to Terrible Terror, then began to adjust the mold, add carbon stone, then calculate the temperature and time, and then add other ores.
"Click!"
Hiccup snapped his fingers, and Terrible Terror immediately understood, spraying out another flame.
As it was nearing completion, Gobber walked into the Blacksmith Shop with an uneven gait, and seeing Hiccup forging weapons, he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Are you going to give Stoick a surprise before he gets back!?
Hiccup blew on the hammer in his hand, and smiled faintly, saying, "No! It's for the future of the entire Berk Island!"
Soon, the final process: shaping, cooling, and then polishing!
Looking at the shining buckle in Hiccup's hand, Gobber said dumbfounded, "Oh my God! You made this!? I don't remember teaching you any of this!"
"And I don't know how to do these either! If this were to make such shiny prosthetics!"
Gobber looked enviously at the stainless steel buckle in Hiccup's hand, reaching out to touch the smooth surface of the stainless steel, and then looking at his own dark, rusty prosthetic leg.
He immediately felt a sense of fondness.
There was no other way; the productivity of the Middle Ages was still backward. Although they knew to add carbon when forging weapons, the weapons ultimately produced were either too soft and easily bent, or too hard and easily broken, and all of them were dark and dull.
Hiccup casually took the buckle back and said to Gobber, "I still need these! I'll teach you the forging method when I get back!"
This statement was absolutely sincere, after all, Gobber was the only decent blacksmith on Berk Island.
He couldn't possibly have to personally forge weapons and armor in the future.
Gobber asked, both excited and apprehensive, "Hiccup, tell me, when exactly did you undergo such a huge change, and where did you learn all of this!?
Looking at Gobber's hesitant expression, Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "I learned it all in my dreams!"
Afterward, Hiccup packed everything, carried a large basket of salted fish on his back, waved to Gobber, and said, "I'll teach you tonight when I get back!"
"Hiccup, where are you going!?" Gobber asked with some concern.
Terrible Terror also blocked Hiccup's path, wanting to go along, and Hiccup was immediately helpless; if he took Terrible Terror to find Night Fury, those two would surely start fighting directly!
