The central area of Berk Island was a large open space, which would later become Dragon Plaza, but for now, it was empty and very well-ventilated.
Setting up public restrooms here would also be relatively close to the villagers' houses, and if a villager was truly too lazy, they could simply build one right outside their own door. After all, for these villagers, it was not a difficult task at all.
Immediately, after Hiccup distributed the maps in his hand to the villagers, he said, "Build these in these locations!"
The villagers immediately went to collect lumber with great enthusiasm, then rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Both men and women were incredibly motivated, and the Dragons even helped out.
Any particularly heavy logs were directly lifted and dragged away by the Dragons.
As for digging cesspits, the Dragons easily broke open the ground with their Dragon claws. Otherwise, the permafrost on Berk Island would have been a challenge for the villagers.
Because the houses on Berk Island were frequently damaged by Dragon attacks, building public restrooms for the villagers was a familiar task. Three to five villagers worked together, with a Dragon assisting.
A total of twenty public restrooms were completed in about an hour. Although they still needed some beautification, they could already be put into use.
Afterward, Hiccup directly summoned all the villagers to Valhalla.
Valhalla was the largest space on all of Berk Island because, in winter, everyone had to gather in Valhalla to survive the cold.
Even the sheep had to enter Valhalla to keep warm together! Otherwise, no one could survive the winter in the Arctic Circle.
When everyone had arrived, Hiccup almost fainted.
Honestly, Vikings were already tall, hairy, and strong-smelling. Combined with their perpetual lack of bathing, the odor was simply indescribable!
(If anyone is truly curious about this smell, you can go to a bar. When the upbeat music starts, everyone is in the center of the dance floor, dancing wildly! Remember, be sure to go to a bar with many foreign students; they usually gather at one particular bar!)
Hiccup endured the smell, then stood on the highest point of Valhalla and shouted, "Quiet!"
With just two words, Hiccup had to step down to catch his breath, then stood up again and said, "Now, Berk Island has over thirty public restrooms! There's also toilet paper inside!"
"From now on, everyone must relieve themselves in the public restrooms. If anyone is found to be urinating or defecating anywhere else, they will be punished!"
After speaking, Hiccup gave Stoick a look and quickly fled, not giving them any time to object.
The rest was left to his adoptive father.
Perhaps they were all birds of a feather, so they didn't notice the smell.
After Hiccup walked out of Valhalla, he greedily took deep breaths, and his complexion improved significantly.
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Next time, meetings must be held in the plaza, or even in the Dragon Jail; it's better than here!"
Astrid suddenly appeared behind Hiccup and said, "Why don't you go back and check!? This matter doesn't seem to be going smoothly!"
"No going back, no going back, not even if you kill me!" Hiccup said helplessly.
At this moment, Stoick looked at the villagers below with some helplessness; he didn't know how to explain it either.
After all, he didn't create this thing, nor did he know its purpose. However, over the years, he had always cleaned up his son's messes, and this time was no different.
Stoick stood up and said to the villagers below, "Although I don't know why this is! But I am willing to believe Hiccup!"
This single phrase, "believe Hiccup," was more effective than any explanation.
Because the name Hiccup was no longer that of a troublemaker in the villagers' hearts, but rather a guardian, the greatest Dragon Knight, the youngest leader of Berk Island, and so on...
Everyone had an honorable title for Hiccup in their hearts, but without exception, they all greatly admired him.
It was a pity that while admiration was one thing, everyone still had their own plans and routines.
To lead a group of barbarians into a civilized era would still require many hardships. Hiccup did not intend to achieve it in one step; he could only take it one step at a time.
Watching the villagers leave in a hurry, Hiccup sat on Night Fury's back, slowly contemplating.
Then, he patted Night Fury's neck and said, "To the Blacksmith Shop!"
"Roar~~!"
Seeing Hiccup arrive at the Blacksmith Shop riding Night Fury, Gobber, while hammering away, said, "It seems your proposal only received Stoick's support!"
"Trying to change the minds of those stubborn villagers is harder than killing them!"
Hiccup shrugged and didn't say much. After all, he was only the chief's son, not the chief himself.
Unless he became king in the future, when he wanted to do something, he could simply issue a decree, and his subjects would immediately carry it out.
Immediately, Hiccup handed the blueprint for the Death Song Ballista to Gobber and said, "This needs to be made as soon as possible!"
He had originally wanted to give Gobber the blueprints for the Speed Warship and the Demon Cage as well, but judging by his current craftsmanship, only the Death Song Ballista seemed relatively simple for him.
The other two would require his personal supervision.
Gobber's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw the blueprint. He asked, "Oh my god! Hiccup, did you design this!?"
Hiccup openly admitted, "Of course! You should be able to make it!"
Gobber excitedly held the Death Song Ballista blueprint and said, "This thing is simply the Grim Reaper's scythe; even a Dragon could be easily killed!"
When Night Fury heard Gobber talk about killing Dragons, he immediately pricked up his ears and bared his sharp teeth.
Gobber quickly apologized, "Oh! I was just using a habitual metaphor!"
"How could a Dragon so friendly to us Vikings ever be killed!?"
Night Fury stared at Gobber, seemingly understanding, then slowly walked out of the Blacksmith Shop.
Hiccup smiled and said, "As soon as possible! I hope you can make the Death Song Ballista by the time the sun rises tomorrow!"
Gobber chuckled, "Hehe! Don't worry! I'm the best blacksmith on Berk Island! Don't forget, you're still my apprentice!"
After explaining all of this, Hiccup returned directly to his small wooden house. He didn't expect to see his adoptive father, Stoick, curled up in his small wooden house as soon as he returned.
Although he couldn't stretch out in the small wooden house, it seemed there was something important, so he had been waiting there...
