Chapter 36: I'm Back
Viking ships generally have small hulls, and the sail pulp is used together, and the front and rear are symmetrical, with no bow and stern. The boat is agile and lightweight, so it can quickly retreat even in complicated situations, and it is also easy to swim against the river from the sea to the river. One of the most striking features of the Viking ship is that on both sides of the triangular bow there is a wooden dragon head bow carved from a single piece of oak wood, so this kind of ship is also called the dragon ship by the Vikings.
The reason for this is that although dragons are a rather tricky problem for most Vikings, they are also often a symbol of courage, strength and terror, so many dragon images are widely used in Viking life.
Seeing that the people on the dragon boat were all looking at them in horror, Greene did not let Pipsqueak land on the small boat, but greeted them side-by-side, "Hey, everyone, good morning!
......
The people on the boat were silent, no one paid attention to Green's idle beginning, they looked at the black dragon almost close to the sea, and the expression on their faces gradually changed from horror to surprise, then to surprise, but still no one spoke.
Greene shrugged helplessly, he didn't expect anything good to happen, but after meeting people from the same tribe, he wanted to come and say hello and give them vaccinations, but the result was obvious, others didn't seem to welcome them.
Greene touched Pippi's head, and was about to take a step ahead when a big fat man with a round nose and a stubby neck squeezed out of the crowd, and said in a trembling voice, "Green, this... Is that the dragon you hunted for the Dragon Slaying Contest?"
The Dragon Slaying Conference? Ge Lin was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, thinking that he was talking about the first assessment item of the princess's choice of son-in-law.
"Uh... Sort of!"
The fat man's name was Sam Wilson, the son of the blacksmith Old Hunter on Thor Island, and since Green's father was a locksmith, they usually had business dealings, so he was quite familiar with this fat man. It's just that this fat man has an unpleasant nickname called "Cowardly Sam", so Green has never been friends with him before.
It's just that he didn't expect that the first person who dared to greet him after coming back turned out to be this timid fat man, which had to surprise Green.
"It's... Is it a night wrath?" the fat man stretched out a stubby finger and pointed at Pippi under Green's crotch, and continued to tremble with his small black eyes.
"You know each other?" said Green in surprise this time.
"Haha, I knew this dragon really existed! Did you see it? This is the most powerful dragon! It is extremely rare, extremely fast, it is lightning in the dark night, it is the legendary ...... of death"
Looking at this fat man who suddenly fell into a frenzy and danced excitedly, Green was a little puzzled as to what the hell was going on. But looking at the black faces of the other Vikings on the dragon ship that were almost dripping ink, Green felt that it should not be a good thing.
"Enough!"
Sure enough, when the fat man took a deep breath and wanted to continue, the tall Viking young man with a warhammer interrupted him loudly.
Then the young man turned his head and stared at the green on the dragon's back and said, "We have something to deal with now, please leave first." ”
Green touched his nose, glanced at the languishing two-headed dragon on the dragon boat, and nodded.

Looking at the black shadow that had disappeared on the surface of the sea, Rael did not speak again, but sat down on the boat with an ugly face.
This time, Princess Victoria chose a husband, and he was bound to win, because everyone knew that King Harald only had such a daughter, and as long as he married Princess Victoria, it meant that he got a kingdom.
Especially for the children of the various islands and tribal leaders of the kingdom of Navia, this is a good time to join forces, or rather, it is a good opportunity to replace them. Therefore, in the first event of the son-in-law competition, he must strive for the first.
In order to be able to come out on top, he made full preparations. First of all, the first project dragon slaying competition only said that everyone killed a dragon by themselves, but it did not specify what kind of dragon it was, nor did it say how to kill it, so this will have a different effect.
What's more shocking than killing one of the most powerful dragons on the spot?
So he decided to hire some people to catch a live dragon and bring it back to the dragon slaying competition. Among them, the timid Sam is one of the people he hired, and on Thor's Island, he is the most obsessed, the most researched, and the most senior "dragon scientist", of course, these are all self-proclaimed by the fat man.
When he asks Fat Man what dragon is the most powerful in the Viking Sea, timid Sam tells him that there is a black dragon that is said to be the most powerful. It is extremely rare and has never been seen before, but there are some information about it in the ancient books and legends of the Vikings, who have always believed in the existence of this dragon.
However, Rael didn't want to hear these ethereal stories, he focused more on reality, so he chose the two-headed dragon at the suggestion of the fat man.
Two heads means double the attack power, and it should be considered the most powerful dragon in reality compared to other dragons.
But what they didn't expect was that when they were about to return home in triumph, one such guy appeared, a locksmith's child, who actually conquered the legendary black dragon and rode it back.
This is no less than a slap in the face for Rael, who has not listed those civilians as competitors in the first place.
"Rael, there's no need to worry about it, that little locksmith doesn't have to worry about it at all. A man with long hair and beard pushed away the other Vikings who were talking in front of him, and limped in front of Rael.
"Uncle Joffrey, do you have a solution?" Rael looked up, looking at the lame man in front of him with some surprise in his eyes.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk about it first!" the lame man whispered, looking at the Vikings around him, pulling Rael up from the ground.

Thor's Island looks like an irregular warhammer from the sky, and Green's home is located in the upper left corner of the island, in a small corner of the hammerhead.
It faces the sea and is relatively high, so there are not many people living there. However, the only advantage is that it is relatively close to the jungle north of Thor's Island, so it is more convenient to cut wood and hunt.
When Green landed in the open space in front of his house on Pippi, jumped off the dragon's back, and saw the little figure with a big axe staring blankly at him, Green couldn't help but feel a sour nose.
In front of the dusty girl, there was a pile of firewood that had been chopped. This is the job Green used to do, chopping wood and then changing some food.
He stepped forward slowly, took the axe from the girl's hand, then stroked her flaxen hair, and said softly:
"I'm back!"
