After hearing Astrid's words, Snotlout didn't feel embarrassed at all; instead, he proudly puffed out his chest and said, "If I hadn't gotten sick back then! The captain of the First Squad would definitely have been me!"
However, the Twins in the squad mocked him, saying, "Hmm, that's true! How could Snotlout Warrior have gotten sick if he hadn't offended the Divine Emissary back then?"
"If it weren't for our mistakes, you'd probably still just be a regular member! How could it have been your turn to be captain?"
"What a pathetic guy! He doesn't even understand why he became captain!"
The Twins mocked him back and forth, and Snotlout pointed at them, saying, "As the captain of the Second Squad, I order you two to shut up right now!"
"Oh, oh, oh! He's getting angry from shame."
"It seems this big guy really has no brains! Even if he becomes captain, he can only be in charge of transportation! He'll never be able to participate in battle!"
Snotlout took two steps forward, looking at the Twins and said, "Are you two openly defying my orders? Don't forget why you two became members!"
"Brother! This guy is threatening me, I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid, sister. This guy is truly stupid to the core! He even forgot about our vacation! What a pitiful Snotlout!"
The Twins laughed heartily. Snotlout turned away, ignoring the Twins, and instead aimed his words at Astrid, saying, "Snotlout Warrior's irresistible charm certainly attracts many girls."
"But Snotlout Warrior had already clearly rejected you back then! Ms. Astrid, please do not disturb Snotlout Warrior anymore!"
"Because Snotlout Warrior is about to become a qualified husband!"
As he spoke, he cast a loving gaze towards Heather, but Heather could only choose to ignore him and change the subject, asking, "Why are there so many Dragons on your island? Aren't you afraid these Dragons will harm you?"
"Our village was originally peaceful and quiet, but it was destroyed by a fire set by these Dragons! I was the only one in the entire village who escaped on a small boat! I almost drowned in the sea! I am very grateful for Snotlout Warrior's life-saving grace!"
"Now my boat is broken, and I have nowhere to go! Can you…"
Astrid replied directly and crisply, "No!"
At this moment, Snotlout was already moved to tears by Heather's story, and his eyes were red. He turned his head and glared at Astrid, saying, "I admit you are jealous of Snotlout Warrior's care for this distressed lady!"
"But now this lady has suffered such great hardship! Shouldn't we people on Berk Island help him?"
Astrid really wanted to take action now, but Hiccup strictly forbade his own people from attacking each other, betrayal being the only exception.
So she could only use her position to tell Snotlout, "The Divine Emissary has commanded! Any outsiders must have their identities and backgrounds thoroughly checked! And they can only stay on the outskirts of Berk Island!"
"Moreover! The Divine Emissary has said! Berk Island has no obligation to care for any outsider! Providing a habitable house by the sea and some simple food is already Berk Island's benevolence!"
But looking at the girl who had so deeply touched his heart, how could Snotlout miss this opportunity to take care of her? So he immediately said, "I am willing to let him stay in my home!"
Astrid's face turned cold with anger, and she spoke unceremoniously, "The Divine Emissary has said! Helping outsiders is a kindness, not helping is our duty! Berk Island never owes anyone anything!"
"If you insist on keeping this person on Berk Island! Then go explain the situation to the Divine Emissary yourself!"
After saying this, Astrid waved to the Dragon Riders behind her and said, "Take good care of this outsider!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Heather was immediately placed under house arrest. She could leave Berk Island, but she absolutely could not enter Berk Island.
Snotlout watched Heather's receding figure, his eyes filled with love, even finding Heather's back to be so pitifully charming.
So Snotlout immediately rode his Dragon, leaving the squad, and headed towards Hiccup's wooden house.
After searching for a long time, he finally found Hiccup, then quickly dismounted from the Dragon, panting heavily, and said anxiously, "Divine Emissary! I have a request!"
"I disagree!" Hiccup refused directly.
Snotlout was momentarily surprised, then he continued, "Divine Emissary, actually I have an idea!"
"Then take your time thinking about it!" Hiccup still said coldly.
Snotlout finally said with great disappointment, "Divine Emissary, why is this? Such a pitiful lady, her entire village was attacked by Dragons! She has nowhere to go! Why can't we take her in?"
Hiccup slowly stood up and looked at Snotlout, saying, "Berk Island has Berk Island's rules! Do you want to defy orders?"
Now Snotlout was completely speechless. He didn't want to defy orders, and even more, he didn't want to lose his position as captain of the Second Squad.
So he could only leave here with extreme helplessness.
Hiccup watched Snotlout's departing figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, then he murmured to himself, "It seems the captain of the Second Squad will be replaced again!"
After Snotlout left, he didn't immediately return to the squad. Instead, he replaced the people guarding Heather with his own, and then waited until night fell.
He personally appeared in the small wooden house by the sea, and he even brought what he considered to be delicious beef!
Heather was startled when she heard movement in the wooden house, but when she saw that it was Snotlout, she immediately felt much more relieved, and at the same time, she already had a plan in mind.
"Why did you come here? Are you going to drive me away?" Heather said pitifully.
Then, she deliberately squeezed out two tears and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely leave here once I fix my boat!"
"No, no, no! The people on Berk Island are actually very friendly! It's just that your identity is unclear, so no one is willing to take you in! But I am willing to take you in!"
Upon hearing this, Heather looked at Snotlout, who said even more earnestly, "It's true! I really am willing to take you in! I believe you are not a bad person! You must have encountered difficulties, which is why you ended up on Berk Island!"
Heather tried to cry even more miserably, then said, "Thank you! Thank you! But, before I left, my people told me that there was a Dragon Knight named Hiccup who would definitely save our tribe!"
"But! But it's all my fault for being useless! Now that my boat is broken, let alone finding this great Knight Hiccup…"
