Chapter 11: Smallness

"Os, you are the president, the four of us are the vice presidents, we need to design a flag, and a badge. Pen "Fun" www.biquge.info" Kudran proposed, and the three Sandmar brothers nodded straight to the side.

"We really need a sign. However, I am the president, and so are you, and we are brothers, so we don't have to divide this. Oss was still eating, and now the whole table Nuyne had ordered was his own, for the three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, had been discussing, and Oss had only spoken when he needed an answer.

Uncle Yuregar and Uncle Billsnott sat on the sidelines, watching the young people discuss the "Brotherhood of the Snow Mountains" enthusiastically, and each of them ordered a glass of Aunt Thunderwine's latest canned whiskey.

"Listen to you, President Oss's first command." The three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, saluted together in a dignified manner.

Oss took a large sip of moonberry juice and then picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and now, he finally felt full, "Are you really not going to eat anything?" ”

"Where is there still time to eat, we still have a lot of questions to discuss!" Kudran replied, and the three Sandmar brothers made a backdrop on the side, nodding their heads.

Seeing the urgency of the dwarven brothers, Oss stretched out his index finger and shook it, and he asked, "Kudran, Nuen, Gothrum, Talon Ax, let me ask you a question, how long did it take for Ironforge to be completed?" ”

The three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, looked at each other, put their heads on their heads, muttered quietly, and then gave the answer that none of them knew. Then they looked at the uncles who had been sitting by without speaking, and Oss also looked at the two elders.

Uncle Yuregal looked at Oss appreciatively and replied for them, "Thirty-five years." You're going to learn from Os. ”

Apparently the three brothers Kudran and Sandmar were confused, they didn't know what Uncle Yuregal had asked them to learn from Oss, but Oss saw their doubts and explained, "Ironforge wasn't built in a day, even with the craftsmanship and great strength of your dwarves, and the help of magic, it still took thirty-five years. ”

Oss looked at Kudran and their expressions didn't seem to pay much attention, and he continued: "Don't look at me so indifferently, I know, you probably think thirty-five years is a short time, but that's because you are dwarves, your lifespan, and those elves, thirty-five years may only be a nap time for you. But, my brothers, thirty-five years is almost half of our lives for us ordinary humans, and for many of the smaller lives in Azeroth, thirty-five years may be their lifetimes. ”

"Os!" Kudran looked agitated and hugged Oss, he twitched as if he was about to cry, "I don't know, I forgot, you're human......"

The three Sandmar brothers also gathered around, and they all apologized to Oss.

Oss was so moved that he took his brothers in his arms and stared at them, not knowing what to say for a moment.

At this time, Uncle Biersnott opened his mouth, and his voice had a sense of gold and iron, sonorous and powerful: "Little rabbit, what are you going to do when you take the lead in crying?" A final send-off for your little brother? Come, come! Tell me, how old is he? ”

Kudran was picked up by the strong, half-and-a-half-head taller Uncle Billsnot. Oss laughed out loud when he heard the elder and saw his movements, and Kudran, who was lifted up and hung in the air, fluttering his little arms and legs.

Rarely, Oss began to heckle too, and he applauded and said, "Haha, Kudran, I'm only thirteen years old." And, when you interrupted me, I forgot what I was going to say. ”

The three Sandmar brothers also seemed to be afraid of Uncle Bisnott, and stood aside and did not dare to say anything. Uncle Biersnott put Kudran down and sat back down next to Uncle Yuregal, drinking his whiskey.

"Uh...... Os, let what you just do pass, you go on. Kudran looked carefully at Uncle Billsnott and said to Oss.

"Ahem, as I said just now, the Iron Fort was not built in a day, which shows that it is not possible to do one thing well. The so-called delay in handling urgent matters is because often people are in a hurry to do something, but they will be in a hurry and easy to make mistakes in a hurry. Also, as for the things, we have to do them one by one, now, we are going to go to the Flame Forge to test the gun, and the two uncles have been waiting for us for hours. Oss explained in one breath this time, and smiled apologetically at the two elders.

The two dwarven elders obviously agreed with what Oss said, especially Billsnot, who had just met for the first time today, he looked at Oss with admiration, stood up and said, "Boy, it's very good. Then he glanced at the three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, "You have no chance to eat, come with me." ”

Oss was the first to stand up and followed the two uncles out of the tavern. Behind him, the three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, scramble, each grabbed a few butter rolls and a bottle of juice.

As soon as I walked into the Flame Casting House, a heat wave hit my face. The sudden temperature difference between indoor and outdoor ice and snow, and the invasion of heat waves, made Oss a little dizzy. However, before Oss could find something to hold onto, he felt a coolness, which shook his spirits and made him feel dizzy.

Shaking his head, even the most stupid person would notice something now, Oss thought to himself: "I slept for more than four hours at most, but I was not sleepy at all; I skied six times like crazy, and I took a shower and lost all my tiredness; Now it seems that the golden light will not be an illusion; The dizziness is also recovering too quickly, and it seems that I have time to do an experiment. Oss rubbed his temples, "Here, there must be something wrong, I hope it's not a bad thing." ”

Thinking about it, Oss put this matter on the back burner for the time being. He looked up and saw that everyone was standing silently without speaking, and Oss looked over the crowd to see Ken Forged Fire quenching a weapon, and one of his dwarven apprentices, controlling a blower with a fire burning in the furnace.

The dwarves present all watched with relish, as Uncle Ken quenched the weapon, but Oss didn't know how to forge at all, and he couldn't see anything. And the reason why he knew that it was quenching now was because he had watched an issue of "Approaching the Dragon Spring Sword of Science" when he was on Earth before.

Fortunately, he waited for a short time, and he felt that it was only a few minutes later, and Uncle Ken stopped, and it seemed that it was done.

"Bill, Gal is here so early." Uncle Ken placed the quenched weapon and walked over to say hello.

"Of course, it's a big deal." Billsnott's reply was simple and direct.

Uncle Ken shrugged, turned to his workbench, and said, "I was going to test the gun at dusk, when the light is unknown, and the test will be better." He picked up three guns and two bags of ammunition on the workbench, one long, one and one pistol.

"Bill is really anxious, and you understand how much it would help if musket shooting became easy." Uncle Yuregal explained.

Uncle Ken turned back, told his assistant to take a target, beckoned to Oss, handed him a gun, and said, "Oss boy, let's see if that's the case." ”

Oss took the gun, just as soon as he saw it, Oss admired Uncle Ken, after all, there was no physical reference, just relying on Oss's unprofessional introduction, Uncle Ken did exactly the same as Oss remembered. He raised his gun again, tried to aim in the direction of no one, and then gave Uncle Ken a thumbs up: "That's amazing! Uncle Ken, you're fantastic. ”

Uncle Ken also looked very happy, and he waved his hand: "Although it is only two small modifications, but without you, I may not have thought of this in my life." Let's go and find a place where no one is. ”

On the way, the anxious Uncle Biersnott took a gun, looked at the crosshairs, and kept asking Oss some questions about shooting. As they spoke, they soon left Karanos and found an open field outside the town.

Uncle Ken first fixed the target, and then walked in a straight line, and everyone followed him, and when he stopped, he looked at the crowd and said, "Eighty steps, about fifty meters." Who of you is coming? ”

Kudran, Gothrum, Talon Aix were not very interested in muskets before. Although Nuen was very interested, he did not have the intention of testing the gun first. And the two elders didn't say anything, and finally everyone's eyes were on Oss.

Uncle Ken handed the bullet pouch to Oss, and he patted him on the shoulder, as if to encourage him, and said, "Come on, Oss boy." ”

Oss was not pretentious, he stepped forward and took the bullet bag, opened it, and found that the bullets used by the dwarves were still marbles, he grabbed a handful, put it in the right pocket of his coat, and then stood facing the target.

Reload, end the gun, aim, fire, all in one go.

"Hit!" The dwarves present were all warriors, their eyesight was very good, they could see clearly from a distance of fifty meters, and Oss's brothers jumped up and cheered as soon as they hit the target.

Oss didn't speak, pulled out a bullet bead, reloaded it again, ended the gun, aimed, and fired.

"Hit again!" This time, the three adult dwarves also began to applaud.

Oss finished the bullet in his pocket in one breath before stopping, and each time he hit the target, the dwarves around him shouted and applauded even more. When Oss finally hit the ball, the three brothers, Kudran and Sandmar, were so excited that they chanted long live Oss and sang a hymn in his honor:

"A new member of the Kudran squad," Kudran sang.

"Don't underestimate him as a human," Tallon Ex sang.

"If there's anything better than him," Gosrum sang.

"We're not going to drink anymore." Nuaine sang.

Hearing everyone cheer for him, Os's little face turned red. He still thinks he's just doing a little thing, just telling everyone what he knows. And Oss also believed that even without him, the dwarves would sooner or later invent crosshairs and sights.

Then, under the guidance of Os, the dwarves present stepped forward one by one to try their guns. When Gothrum and Talon Ax, who touched the gun for the first time, were able to hit with one shot, the dwarves' excitement reached a **. They had to finish the two bags of ammunition they had brought with them before returning to Karanos.

On the way back, Uncle Billsnott chattered and talked to Oss, and he was familiar with Oss, and he said his idea, he said that he would form a dwarven musket team, and that he would invite Oss to be an instructor. The excited chatter was like a drunkard. And his performance at this time made Uncle Yuregal, who was walking on the side, consciously stay away.

It was on this afternoon that two hundred "bang! Bang! The sound represents the birth of the new Dwarven Musket, and although it is only a minor change, it has a vital role. When muskets became widespread and dwarven muskets appeared early, its impact was much more than that.

This is like, even if a small person is insignificant, in a certain place one day, when he is willing to do everything he can to spare his life for the sake of faith and perseverance in his heart, what he does and the energy that erupts can also shock people's hearts and shine forever.

It's small, but it can make a big difference; This is smallness, but it is truly great.
