Astrid spoke as she leaned closer to Hiccup, her eyes full of triumph, as if showing off her cleverness.
Hiccup, however, gave her a look of disdain and said, "If you want to learn, let's talk about it another day! Besides, I don't have time to teach you every day!"
"But I have time to follow you every day!" Astrid said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
This statement also left Hiccup somewhat speechless. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but Hiccup firmly believed that women only slowed down his sword draw.
So, he turned to leave, no longer wanting to be entangled.
Because he always felt that if he stayed a moment longer, this woman might just kiss him again...
Sure enough, as soon as Hiccup turned around, Astrid jumped directly in front of him and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a 'yes'!"
"Since you've agreed, let's start now! I must learn as quickly as possible! Then I'll be able to command these Dragons in battle!"
Astrid was envisioning her future, as if she could already see a Valkyrie leading a group of Dragons to conquer the sky.
Hiccup smiled faintly and said, "I never agreed to teach you!"
"Hiccup! Stop right there!"
Hearing her words, Hiccup stopped in his tracks, about to turn his head to refuse her, but he couldn't get the words out.
"This woman is kissing me again!" This was Hiccup's only thought.
Meanwhile, Night Fury lay beside them, covering its eyes with its Dragon claw, but still couldn't resist peeking through a small gap to watch.
Astrid said triumphantly, "Now you have no reason to refuse me, do you!"
Hiccup had originally thought he could suppress the feelings of the original body, but now it seemed he had thought too much.
His face instantly turned red all the way to his neck, even his ears were crimson, and he stammered for a long time, unable to speak.
But Hiccup's mind was clear; he didn't have magic now, nor many means of self-preservation, so how could he talk about romance?
After taking a few deep breaths, Hiccup slowly said, "Since you want to learn! Then do as you please!"
He hadn't intended to teach her, but he also hadn't directly refused her, because in the days to come, no matter where he went, she would surely follow.
Through immersion, she would be able to learn some simple pronunciations herself.
"That's great! I knew you wouldn't refuse me!" As she spoke, she also punched Hiccup in the chest.
Looking at her excited expression, this body also showed signs of happiness.
Hiccup turned around, trying to calm the body's emotions, then flipped onto Night Fury's back and said, "Take these Dragons to the entrance of Valhalla and wait for me!"
"Okay! I'll take the Dragons to the entrance of Valhalla and wait for you now!" Before leaving, Astrid even gave Hiccup a flirtatious wink.
Meanwhile, Hiccup rode Night Fury to find his cheap father, Stoick, as the distribution of Dragons still needed him to witness.
Although these Vikings didn't always strictly obey their chief's commands, the chief was, after all, an authoritative figure.
Soon, all the villagers on Berk Island gathered at the entrance of Valhalla; they had wanted to go inside, but were all stopped outside.
Stoick rode Terrible Terror, following behind Hiccup.
The villagers looked up at the chief and his son, riding Dragons and descending from the sky, their eyes filled with undisguised envy, and each of them longed to obtain and tame a Dragon.
Looking at the envious gazes of the villagers below, Hiccup did not let Night Fury land directly, but instead spoke to the villagers from mid-air: "These Dragons have all been tamed by me! I can distribute them to the powerful Warriors on Berk Island!"
"But I have a condition! And it must be witnessed by the chief! I will put a condition on those Warriors who receive Dragons!"
The villagers below immediately shouted excitedly, "Are we going to fight each other to determine who is the strongest Warrior!?"
When they heard the word 'duel', the Viking Warriors, without exception, all shouted at the top of their lungs. Every one of them was filled with infinite passion for battle.
At the same time, many Viking Warriors in the crowd shouted, "Only the strongest Warrior deserves to have a Dragon companion!"
"This time, I will do my best to get a Dragon companion!"
"Come on! Who wants to challenge me!? I'm waiting for you right here!"
The Viking Warriors present had already begun to clamor, because this was their usual habit in daily life.
As soon as battle was mentioned, each of them would become extremely excited, because battle could make them stronger and also bring them honor.
And according to past custom, even Stoick himself would laughingly join them, roaring with them, just like wild beasts increase their momentum through roaring before a duel.
This time, just as Stoick was about to raise his hand and shout with them, Hiccup gave him a look.
After seeing this look, Stoick awkwardly smacked his lips, then withdrew his hand.
Hiccup also understood that his single voice definitely couldn't out-shout so many people, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his words would surely be drowned in the wave of sound.
So he turned his head and spoke to the two Terrible Terrors in Dragon Language: "Make them quiet!"
The two Terrible Terrors immediately understood Hiccup's command, then opened their mouths towards the crowd below and began to roar continuously.
"Roar~~~~!"
Because the two Dragons had their mouths open downwards, all the villagers below were affected, and each of them covered their ears with their hands.
Hiccup waved his hand, and the two Dragons immediately stopped roaring.
Then he waved his hand to attract the villagers' attention and said, "I haven't finished speaking! You cannot interrupt again!"
"Next time! Whoever interrupts me again! Then please leave here, I will not give a Dragon to someone who can't even listen to a complete sentence!"
When his words fell, although the Viking Warriors present had more or less some dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could endure it for the sake of the Dragons.
They comforted themselves in their hearts, saying, "Hiccup Warrior is not only the most outstanding young Warrior on Berk Island, but also the chief's son, the future successor of Berk Island!"
"Offending him would not only miss out on a Dragon, but also be equivalent to offending the future chief!"
Therefore, every villager tried to control their emotions, standing quietly below, waiting for Hiccup to finish what he had not yet said.
