Inside the cabin, the fire dispelled the darkness. Stoick had been guarding the hearth, waiting for Hiccup to return. Although he appeared indifferent on the surface, he deeply cared about his son.
After Hiccup finished everything and returned, he and Night Fury practically tumbled to the cabin door, with Night Fury entering the cabin one step ahead of Hiccup.
When it saw Stoick, it quickly backed out. After all, it always maintained a sense of fear towards Stoick.
Upon seeing Night Fury, Stoick knew Hiccup was right outside the door.
Hiccup saw Night Fury hastily retreat and thought it was playing with him. He patted Night Fury's head and said, "Does a Dragon also fear the cold?"
He thought the stove in his cabin hadn't been lit, which was why Night Fury had quickly retreated, as there would be no way to roast fish without a stove.
Hiccup smiled faintly, then walked into the cabin. When he saw Stoick, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Then, looking at Stoick, he said, "Today's sea fish is especially fresh; it will definitely be delicious roasted!"
This sentence perfectly fit the Viking way of speaking. Although a bit foolish and awkward, it was the most direct and least embarrassing way for the father and son to communicate.
Stoick paused, then said, "That's right! This is the sea fish I just caught today! It's definitely fresh enough!"
Night Fury followed behind Hiccup, peeking its small head out and looking at Stoick with some apprehension, seemingly afraid to make eye contact with him.
Stoick smiled at Hiccup and said, "Come quickly! I've already prepared all these sea fish; they'll be ready to eat once they're roasted!"
"Today, you must try my cooking. Your mother also raved about my roasted fish back then! And it was with this roasted fish that I won your mother over!"
Stoick seemed lost in thought, a smile unconsciously gracing his face when he mentioned Hiccup's mother, as that was the happiest and most joyful time of his life.
Hiccup naturally sat beside Stoick and helped him prepare the uncleaned sea fish.
Night Fury, meanwhile, remained curled up in the corner, not daring to come closer, even seeming to want to leave.
Stoick glanced at Night Fury and then said, "Does Night Fury also like roasted fish?!"
Hiccup also looked at Night Fury and said, "It likes roasted fish too!"
After placing the skewered fish pieces on the hearth, Hiccup walked over and patted Night Fury's neck, saying, "What's wrong, Toothless! It's your turn to perform!"
Stoick looked at Hiccup with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.
Then, Hiccup arranged all the skewered fish pieces and motioned for Night Fury to come and do it itself. So, to Stoick's great surprise, Night Fury extended its Dragon claw and began to roast the fish in a surprisingly skilled manner.
"Oh my Gosh~! This is truly amazing! A Dragon can actually roast fish?" Stoick couldn't help but exclaim.
He turned to Hiccup and said, "Did you teach it all of this? Will it be able to speak human language in the future? Or be able to communicate simply with the villagers!"
Upon hearing this, Hiccup's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but think, "If a Dragon could speak human language, wouldn't things be much simpler?"
"Moreover, in past records, the Dragon Smaug could speak human language! It could communicate freely with humans! Could I also train a group of Dragons that can communicate with humans!"
"As long as I teach a few Dragons, they can teach the other Dragons to speak human language!"
As this idea emerged, the desire in his heart grew stronger. If he could truly teach Dragons to speak human language, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?
However, for now, Night Fury couldn't even speak Dragon Language fluently, so how could it learn human language? Unless it was newly hatched young Dragons, taught both Dragon Language and human language from a young age.
This way, the success rate would definitely increase significantly.
However, this idea could only be put on hold for now, as there were no newly hatched Dragons on Berk Island, so he could only wait for a future opportunity.
Stoick saw Hiccup staring blankly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Did I say something wrong?"
Looking at his adoptive father's cautious demeanor, Hiccup smiled and said, "Your idea should work! It's just that the conditions aren't right yet!"
"Later, when I catch a few newly hatched young Dragons, I will definitely be able to achieve this wish and make Dragons speak human language!"
Stoick did not continue the topic. Instead, he took out a small bag of unknown blackish things from his sheepskin pouch.
It looked dark, like something that had been treasured for many years and only brought out today.
Hiccup couldn't help but ask, "What is this?!"
Night Fury, meanwhile, kept twitching its nose, as if very interested in the dark things in Stoick's hand.
Stoick smiled and said, "Sprinkle these on the roasted fish! It will make the roasted fish even more delicious! I only traded for this small amount from a merchant back then!"
"For just this tiny bit, I traded a hundred sheep to get it back!"
"If your mother hadn't loved to eat it, I would never have been willing to trade sheep for it!"
Hiccup watched as Stoick carefully sprinkled the seasoning. The taste of the roasted fish indeed changed dramatically, and he also thought of the seasonings he had brought with him before his transmigration.
When he transmigrated, he not only brought advanced technological equipment but also many daily necessities, including a lot of seasonings and even their seeds.
Unfortunately, the system was currently analyzing the dragon's secret scroll, so many functions were unavailable, and the items inside naturally could not be taken out.
After all, in this magical world, magic must be defeated with magic. Only after relative stability can technology be developed.
Because in the current situation, a battle was imminent, so he had to seize the time to expand his strength and conquer more Dragons to restrain the Red Death on Volcano Island!
In the original work, he and Night Fury barely survived to kill the Red Death. In this life, he would absolutely not gamble with his life. He must think of a countermeasure.
Taming the Red Death was absolutely a pipe dream, so it could only be a one-hit kill!
