Just as Hiccup had eaten his fill, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the tunnel.
"Ding ding! Ding ding!"
It sounded like some kind of metal clashing back and forth on ice, exceptionally crisp, and if he listened closely, it seemed like something metallic was rolling on the ice, making different sounds each time it touched the surface.
"Oh my god~~"
Suddenly, a short, stout figure appeared in Hiccup's sight. Just as he was about to fall into the sea, he quickly hooked his prosthetic left hand into a nearby ice block.
All the old Dragons looked at the newly appeared figure with vigilance and quickly surrounded him.
"Hey! Hiccup! Thank Odin, I finally found you," Gobber said to himself!
Then, he didn't dare to move, looking at the drooling old Dragons around him. He then glanced at Hiccup and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hey! Hiccup! Can you give me a hand?"
Hiccup snapped his fingers, and all the old Dragons moved away from Gobber.
He hadn't expected Gobber to catch up after he had gone through so many detours and captured the White-robed Siren.
Before Hiccup could even ask, Gobber immediately began to explain, "If I hadn't carried Stoick's boots with me, there's no way I would have found you!"
It was clear that Gobber had relied on the Dragon's sense of smell to find this place.
But Hiccup was very curious: why did Gobber have Stoick's boots? Because his boots were simply indescribable. If they were put in a pile of salted fish, they wouldn't even be distinguishable.
Seeing Hiccup's disgusted look, Gobber quickly explained, "I don't have a hobby of collecting worn-out boots! Your father wanted me to make his boots into battle boots just like yours!"
"But he didn't think about how many years he'd worn those boots. The smell alone is enough to suffocate an adult Dragon! I originally wanted to catch up and give them back to him! And then I ended up here!"
"Oh my! Where is this? What's this giant Dragon called? It's really too big! It's much bigger than Yaya!"
Gobber, like a chatterbox, circled Skadi, talking incessantly. Skadi, somewhat annoyed, directly exhaled a cold breath at Gobber.
Although it didn't freeze him solid, Gobber's beard and hair were covered in frost, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably, rendering him speechless.
He quickly looked at Hiccup for help because he was really too cold.
Hiccup patted Night Fury's head, signaling it to make a fire.
At this moment, Stoick and Volka appeared in Hiccup's line of sight and asked in great surprise, "Oh! Odin be praised! Gobber, how did you, this tag-along, find your way here!"
As he spoke, Stoick also shielded Volka behind him, because when they were young, Gobber would always flirt with Volka in front of him! Now that they had finally reunited after so long, how could he give him a chance…
Stoick quickly walked forward, looking at Gobber with curiosity. After all, a chatterbox suddenly falling silent was definitely abnormal, and seeing Volka after so many years of separation, it was impossible for him to be as quiet as he was now.
Volka immediately realized that Gobber had been frozen by Skadi, so she smiled and said, "I think Gobber must have been frozen by Skadi!"
Although Gobber was trembling and couldn't speak, his eyes darted around, and his frozen fingers weakly pointed at Volka. Clearly, he had a belly full of words he wanted to say, but he was just anxious and couldn't speak.
Volka said with amusement, "You must have talked too much and angered our Dragon King!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Volka patted Cloudjumper, telling him to fetch some fresh water and then boil it over the fire!
Soon, the hot water was ready. Just as Volka was about to hand over the water, Stoick stopped her and asked, "What kind of Dragon is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
Volka thought Stoick was jealous, so she patiently explained, "This is our Dragon King! It's an Ice-Spitting Dragon! It has been protecting me and the Dragon pack for the past 20 years!"
After hearing this, Stoick walked towards Skadi with gratitude, then clenched his right fist and thumped his chest, bowing respectfully to Skadi.
Skadi gently exhaled a breath at Stoick, only leaving a little frost on his eyebrows and beard, which fell off with a casual flick.
Volka said very happily, "The Dragon King has a good impression of you!"
Stoick now understood that Gobber must have talked too much, which angered the Dragon King… He immediately couldn't help but mock Gobber, saying, "Hahaha! Even the Dragon couldn't stand it!"
Although Gobber couldn't speak, he glared fiercely at Stoick! He seemed very unconvinced.
Volka originally wanted to personally give the hot water to Gobber, but after glancing at Stoick, she ultimately let Hiccup give the hot water to Gobber.
However, Hiccup didn't give him the hot water himself; instead, he had Night Fury deliver the hot water to Gobber!
Night Fury looked adorably blank, not understanding what was happening, so it lay on the ground, too lazy to move, which made Gobber both embarrassed and annoyed.
Hiccup had no time to bother with him. Instead, he looked at Stoick and asked, "Father! The Dragon Scale soft armor I gave you! Have you been wearing it all the time?"
Because Hiccup was afraid that Stoick might have done something inappropriate just now, after all, they hadn't seen each other in twenty years… Now, all the characters from the original story had appeared.
That meant Draeger should be arriving soon! To be absolutely safe, Stoick had to wear the Dragon Scale soft armor!
Moreover, this Dragon Scale soft armor was made from Death Song's scales. Even if one stood still and was attacked several times by Night Fury with full force, it would only result in minor injuries, and death was absolutely impossible.
Stoick said boastfully, "It's good to have a son! He even knows how to be considerate of his father!"
As he spoke, Stoick deliberately showed off the soft armor on his body, waving it back and forth in front of Gobber, saying, "This soft armor is not only extremely defensive, but it's also warm and comfortable to wear!"
Then Stoick turned around and said in a scolding tone, "Why did you only make one piece of such a good thing as the Dragon Scale soft armor? Your mother doesn't have one yet!"
As he spoke, Stoick was about to take off the Dragon Scale soft armor on his body to give to Volka.
Hiccup quickly stopped Stoick's actions, then used Night Fury as a cover, and took out a smaller Dragon Scale soft armor from his system space…
