Chapter 1273: Mutual Suspicion
At this moment, the one who followed Taon in a different face was naturally Maca.
But if you want to say why he chose to appear in front of this seemingly insignificant squib, and even went to great lengths to pretend to be in the name of the Auror Search and Rescue Team, of course, it will not be just because he is familiar with people's eyes.
There is no doubt that Maca is very busy at the moment, and she has no leisure at all.
In fact, the reason why he suddenly decided to pop up was entirely because of ...... At that time, when he was identifying Taon's identity outside the window, the stone ball at the top of his staff actually flickered!
This is no joke - if there is movement in this thing now, it is a sign that there must be someone or something around that will have a huge impact on the future.
You know, even the previous time he helped Harry, who was holding the Gryffindor sword, only gave the stone ball a slight reaction. But now, Maca just glanced at the old Taon a few more times, and the stone ball actually had the same reaction.
This made him have strong doubts and curiosity.
For this "student parent", who is about the age of Sirius and has a strange temper like Snape, what is the reason why even letting Maca meet him have a big impact on the future?
Of course, that was only a "possibility" after all, as long as Maca kept an eye on the reaction of the rune stone ball, he would be safe this time by strictly abiding by the time limit for going back.
So, at that time, Maca took this question and turned into an Auror, and took the initiative to try to contact this Mr. Taon.
However, in the short period of time they got along just now, Maca's doubts not only did not decrease, but on the contrary, they increased a lot because of the other party's rather unexpected casual behavior.
In this way, although he was a little more convinced of his previous suspicions, he was also more curious about what the importance of this guy would be.
All the way up to ...... The tip of his staff, which had been transformed into an ordinary stick, suddenly flashed red again, symbolizing the change in facts.
β¦β¦
"If the previous reaction was due to the fact that I had stared at him for a little longer...... So this time, because of what? β
Glancing down at the tip of the stick in his hand, Maca casually hid the light from being spotted by Taon, who was walking in front with his back to him.
At the same time, he began to recall the last words of the conversation he had just spoken to the other person.
ββ¦β¦ Is it because I mentioned myself? Maca said secretly in her heart, "Or is it because of his sentence 'Don't wait for the end of the study tour, but even the school is gone'?" β
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If you just look at it from Maca's point of view, Taon's sentence is indeed worth paying attention to - this guy knows about the meteorite fall? Or was it just because of Helbo's rampant actions that he guessed in passing?
But if you look at the seemingly ethereal rules of time, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact.
After all, even if the Taon learned about the meteorite somewhere, the big rock would still fall when it was time to fall. Even if Hogwarts is smashed, it will only be an empty castle anyway, and it will not shake anything at all.
Just as Maca followed behind the other party, observing the back in front of him and thinking about what to do next, Taon, who was walking in front, suddenly said in surprise:
"This Mr. Auror...... You don't really mean an Auror, do you? β
"Huh?"
Maca didn't expect that her disguise would be seen through on the spot.
At that moment, he hurriedly thought back to his previous behavior, including the barely focused words he had said.
Obviously, in such a short period of time, there is no reason for Maca to forget what she has done and what she has said. And just a memory, he confirmed that he didn't seem to show any flaws, right?
What's more, the other party's is indeed just a squib, what kind of reliance will he have to debunk him face to face?
Maca thought so quickly that there was almost no pause, and as soon as the other man's voice fell, he asked rhetorically:
"Sir, do you think I have any need to deceive you?"
"Hmph, that's not for sure!"
At this point, Nataon still dared to turn his back to Maca and continued to walk forward with steady steps.
After a pause, he continued:
"I have to admit that your method of impersonating the Aurors is very clever! I think you've probably known me, knowing that I've had very little contact with the wizarding world in all these years...... So in order to win my trust, you also deliberately put on some rigid traits that only the Aurors of my youth would have. β
At this point, Taon suddenly stopped and turned his head slightly. Seeing this, Maca also stopped in place with him, but the expression of looking at the other party did not change much.
And it was only after turning around that Taon turned around and said:
"But unfortunately, during the time when my son went to school, my life was not as closed as it was in the past ten years. And who are the Aurors in the office today...... I can't say it clearly, but I have some understanding. β
As the other party said, because the Ministry of Magic has undergone several major changes in a row, there are indeed many younger generations in the Ministry now. Although the chaotic situation has gradually replaced everyone's vitality with pressure, it has not become as dull as it was more than ten years ago.
However, although Taon's words were quite conclusive, and his own personality has always been very strong, Maca has never eaten this set.
Just a moment of thought, he shook his head calmly.
"Sir, I'm afraid your doubts are unfoundedβI'm Auror Harun Delix of the Second Enforcement Group directly under the Auror Command, and if you do know anything about the Auror Office, you should know me."
Bluffing people is also Maca's forte, and as far as the other party said just now, it can be found that it is actually just speculation. In the absence of conclusive evidence and the fact that he has not shown any of his feet, it is obviously impossible to get Maca to admit it himself.
Seeing that Maca's face was calm, and even his tone was as hard as when he first appeared in front of him, Nataon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Then, there was a moment of silence, until Maca suddenly frowned willingly.
"Sir, I think it's best not to waste any more time."
He suddenly took the initiative to speak:
"There are still a lot of people waiting for help tonight, and I can't afford to waste too much time on you. If you're still in doubt about my identity, you might as well wait until you get to Diagon Alley to continue your suspicions - I guess you know exactly how to get around the Leaky Cauldron so that I'm not going to be taken somewhere suspicious, aren't you? β
