Although capturing this Siren was a bit troublesome, to extract the liquid from her body for magic potions, I had to keep her alive.
Even if she died, I could still get it, but the liquid extracted from a dead Siren was not only less effective but also could only be extracted once.
Therefore, to continuously obtain the liquid needed for the potions, Hiccup could only keep her.
He quickly checked his injuries; fortunately, it was just a strong impact that left him numb all over, and he only needed a short recovery.
He flipped onto Night Fury's back and then said, "Let's go! Back to Berk Island!"
"Roar~!"
Night Fury roared at Old Dragon Snout, then flew directly into the sky.
Old Dragon Snout glided, grabbed the body of a Dragon from the ground, and followed behind Night Fury.
Stoick stood on the cliff of Berk Island, waiting for Hiccup's return, as the Timberjack Dragons had already returned with the sheep.
This worried him greatly, because these sheep did not belong to their village, so he subconsciously thought that Hiccup was leading the Dragon pack to rob another village.
Although Vikings were all pirates, there were good and bad ones, and the Vikings on Berk Island had always lived by fishing, raising yaks, and sheep.
They were considered Vikings who yearned for and pursued peace.
Therefore, Stoick would absolutely not allow Hiccup to lead the Dragon pack to rob other villages. Moreover, he left alone.
This made the old father even more worried.
"Roar~!"
When Night Fury saw the shadow of Berk Island on the sea, he immediately let out an excited roar.
Stoick also spotted Night Fury, and he finally let out a long sigh of relief, his heart, which had been hanging, finally settled.
No matter what, no matter how big a mistake his son made, as long as he could return safely, that was the most important thing; everything else could be discussed later.
And he couldn't help but think, "I've cleaned up so many messes for him; I'm afraid as long as I can still move and fight, I'll have to keep cleaning up messes for him."
"Bang~!"
Night Fury seemed to be showing off his muscles, landing directly and forcefully, without any shock absorption, causing cracks in the stones beneath his Dragon claws.
He also looked proudly at Stoick, seemingly waiting for his praise.
However, Stoick's face remained dark as he looked at Hiccup on Night Fury's back, not speaking for a long time.
When Hiccup saw this, his heart sank, because he was all too familiar with that expression.
Every time his cheap dad was particularly angry, he would have this expression, and it would be accompanied by endless nagging.
He couldn't understand what he had done to make his cheap dad show such an expression. Shouldn't he be his pride now?
So, realizing something was wrong, Hiccup didn't get off Night Fury's back. Instead, he asked somewhat confusedly, "What's wrong? Who made you angry again?"
Stoick had already assumed that Hiccup had led the Dragon pack to rob another village, and now he saw the Golden-haired Siren brought back by Night Fury.
It seemed to confirm his suspicion; he believed that Hiccup had not only robbed another village but also abducted a woman from that village.
Stoick said angrily, "What good deeds have you done? Why did you lead the Dragon pack to rob another village? And even steal their women!?"
"Don't you know how much disaster you will bring to Berk Island by doing this!? What kind of enemies will we face!?"
Hiccup was utterly confused and was ready to ride Night Fury and escape at any moment, absolutely not wanting to listen to his nagging.
Night Fury casually threw the Siren out, and the ropes on her loosened due to Night Fury.
At this point, Stoick saw the Siren's full appearance. Through the gaps in the ropes, he saw the fish scales on her body, and only then did he realize he had misunderstood Hiccup.
"Roar~!"
Just then, a Dragon roar echoed from the sea again.
It was Old Dragon Snout flying over with the Dragon's corpse. Because the Dragon's corpse was too heavy, the Old Dragon flew slowly.
Looking at the Golden-haired Siren in front of him, and then at the corpse brought back by the Old Dragon, Stoick was somewhat bewildered. He looked at Hiccup and asked, "What did you go and do!? And what's with this Dragon's corpse?"
Hiccup shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
Stoick thought for a moment and then asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"
Hiccup suddenly felt like a child who had just entered society, being questioned by his father about everything, fearing that he might cause trouble.
In his helplessness, Hiccup could only recount what had happened in the past few days.
Then he pointed to the Golden-haired Siren on the ground and said, "There's an invisible liquid between the scales of this Siren that can be made into magic potions! So I brought her back!"
"Magic potions!?" Stoick was even more bewildered. He even looked at Hiccup with some unfamiliarity.
Looking at the familiar yet strange young man in front of him, Stoick was somewhat confused. He didn't understand why his son knew so much.
Why, in such a short time, had he transformed from a troublemaker into a respected warrior on Berk Island, not only able to tame Dragons but now also able to concoct magic potions?
On all of Berk Island, let alone someone who could concoct magic potions, even most of the books on Berk Island were illustrations, with only a small amount of text explaining them.
Because there were too many words, Vikings simply wouldn't read them, nor would they learn them.
Therefore, regarding Hiccup's ability to concoct magic potions, Stoick couldn't help but think, "Is it Odin's blessing? Is it guidance from Odin? Is that why Hiccup was given these magical abilities?"
To confirm his suspicion, Stoick still couldn't help but ask, "Hiccup, why do you know these things? People on Berk Island have never known these!"
Hiccup knew that the entire North worshipped Odin, so he saved himself the trouble of finding an excuse to explain. After glancing around and seeing no one else.
He got off Night Fury's back, came to Stoick's side, motioned for him to squat down a bit, and then whispered in his ear, "Odin doesn't let me tell others!"
"Oh my god~!" Stoick couldn't help but exclaim.
Hiccup's lips curved slightly upward. A simple sentence saved a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But this couldn't stop Stoick's curiosity. He put his hands on Hiccup's shoulders and asked, "What else did Odin bestow!?"
