Chapter 907: The Guide
"Observatory? Telescope? Ha ha...... Brother, what era are you talking about? The Royal Observatory of Greenwich has long since moved to Fort Herstmensu! ”
Maca is now more and more convinced of her original idea.
In such a case, Scrimgeour should have contacted the Muggle Prime Minister directly in his capacity as Minister of Magic - this is the most effective way to do so at the moment.
Seriously, he feels a little blind right now.
As soon as Maca entered the so-called "Old Royal Observatory", she found that there were only a large number of exhibits there, not so much an observatory as a museum related to astronomical education.
When he came out, he thought left and right, and planned to ask someone about it.
After casually disturbing a few Muggle men and women nearby, he realized that the Greenwich Observatory had been moved elsewhere decades ago, and what remained here was just a monumental site!
Hearing that her trip was in vain, Maca also felt a little helpless.
After all, he knew very little about Muggle astronomy, and he didn't know much about the rise and fall of Muggle observatories. Looking at it this way, he suddenly felt that it was really no coincidence that he could enter the wizarding world and become a wizard - even those children who grew up in wizarding families were afraid that it was at his level.
While wondering if he should consult with a Muggle "bigwig" next, he unconsciously paced along the road. But when he began to think about going to the prime minister's office to sit down, he didn't pay attention to the fact that he was already in a snow-covered garden.
"Oh, it's him?"
Maca looked at the familiar figure not far away, and suddenly realized that it was not the uncle who had just gotten rid of him?
And when he looked over the bench next to him, an old man in a volunteer uniform came into his eyes.
“…… Then this should be what he called 'drunkard dad', right? ”
Just as Maca was hesitating whether to avoid it, lest she waste any more time, the old man suddenly raised his head.
The cloudy eyes with a hint of irritation met his gaze straight up.
"I'll eat somewhere else."
Old Victor paused for a moment, but he seemed to react quickly. But I don't know what he was thinking, so after casually saying a word to his son, he picked up the bag with the lunch box again and went straight to the rest bench on the other side.
"Dad...... Oh, yes, sir, you're here? ”
The middle-aged uncle just wanted to ask his father why he had cleaned up the benches, but he had to change places and start from scratch. But as soon as he turned his head, he just collided with Maca's sight first.
"Well, I'll ...... Uh, take a walk. ”
"That sounds good," the middle-aged uncle nodded, "how's that?" Was it 'intellectual' in the old observatory? To be honest, I've loved astronomy since I was a kid...... It's a pity that I'm too stupid, and my father's genes probably haven't been passed on to me at all! ”
As he spoke, he beckoned Maca to sit on the bench, and at the end of it, he said casually:
"You see, that's my dad...... Oh, don't get me wrong, he certainly wasn't leaving for you. I have to say that my dad is usually withdrawn and doesn't like to be too close to other people...... Well, that's probably what happened. ”
"Not necessarily," Maka shrugged, "if I had to say, your father would have considered me one of your friends. In order not to make me have a bad impression of you because of him, he will deliberately avoid it. ”
Hearing Maca say this, the other party immediately shook his head.
"No, no, how can it be—" he waved his hand repeatedly, "you must be thinking too much, my dad has always been the kind of person who does his own thing, how can he take care of my face!" ”
"Believe it or not." Maca spread her hands, and then asked as if inadvertently, "What ......did you just say?" Have you loved astronomy since you were a child? ”
When the other party heard this, he nodded at Maca.
"Like, I've always thought that the mysterious universe should be everyone's romance!" He said happily, "If possible, I would like to see the universe one day...... Of course, this wish will probably not come true, so I plan to wait until I die to engrave a sentence on the tombstone-"
"Epitaph?" Maca pretended to be interested and asked, "What's that?" ”
Seeing that Maca was so cooperative, the uncle couldn't help but become more happy, and soon he smiled half-truthfully:
"Just write, 'Please send my coffin to the sky, and if you're worried about turning into space junk, let me fly towards the sun!'" …… What do you think of this? ”
"Isn't that the same as cremation?" Maca smiled as well, and then said, "That's right...... I remember you just said that your father's genes were not inherited to you? Could it be that he knew a thing or two about astronomy? ”
It took a little detour, but he still got to the question he wanted to ask.
Speaking of which, while he could do a lot of things directly with magic, he would rather use a more normal and ordinary way to get what he needed for now.
Because, now there is still a Helbo who doesn't know where to hide! If you want to get things done well, you still don't easily do things that get that guy's attention.
And for Maca's seemingly curious inquiry, old Victor's talkative son was even more interested.
"Of course!" He said, "I know, when you see my dad, it's hard to guess that he used to be such an amazing man." To be honest, I admired my dad when I was a kid because I felt like he knew everything! ”
"Well, you just asked him if he knows a lot about astronomy, right? I have to tell you that he was hired as a professor of astronomy at Cambridge University at a very young age, specializing in astrophysics......"
At the time when the middle-aged uncle was talking excitedly, Maca looked at him and was not too young, but he was still able to show such a young mentality without realizing it. If he used to worship his father, then he doesn't worship it now?
Maca didn't bother him, and only nodded in agreement when the other party had finally had enough of it.
"Oh, you do have an amazing father!"
"Ah, sorry, I didn't stop it for a while, I talked a little too much......"
The guy seemed to realize that he seemed to be a little rude, and quickly apologized to Maca, but Maca didn't care much about it.
"No, you've made me understand that you can't just look at people...... "then, if you can, can you introduce me to your father?" I've heard you say so much, and I can't wait to get to know him. ”
After hearing a clue from the other party's words, he has been waiting for this moment. It's just that the other party seems to feel a little embarrassed.
"This ......," said the uncle hesitantly, "Actually, as I said earlier, my father has only a stinky temper now except for drinking and cleaning the park." It's not that I don't want to introduce you, it's just ......"
However, Maca still just smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I know—I not only heard it clearly, but I didn't forget it. Don't worry, take me there! Otherwise...... If you don't mind, I'll try it myself? ”
"Oh! That's not even better, you're going to be by his mouth......" The uncle hesitated for a moment again, and finally had to nod his head, "Okay, I'll try it with you...... This is what you have to go! ”
He seemed to think that Maca would definitely encounter some unpleasant scenes in the past, so he repeatedly told Maca. But you can still hear it from his words, this is undoubtedly a kind uncle.
Because he even made an appointment with Maca, if his father opened his mouth to scold, then Maca would hurry away and let his son bear the storm from the old man's house.
It seems that usually at home, he is afraid that he will not be scolded.
When Maca followed the other party to the bench where old Victor was, she found him munching on an egg sandwich with one of his few teeth, his mouth writhing.
But as soon as he saw the two of them coming, old Victor stopped. His gaze lingered on Maca for only a moment, and then fell on his son.
"What's wrong? What are you doing here? ”
"Hey, Dad! You're polite...... This gentleman I met in the park, and after hearing me tell you about your accomplishments, he wanted to come and get to know you......"
"What you did back then?" Old Victor pursed his lips and said, "What has been accomplished?" How did Lao Tzu himself not know? ”
As he spoke, he finally looked over to Maca again, but only casually glanced.
"Well, the young man is quite energetic......," the old man looked up and down, and then muttered, "do what you have to do!" If you have this kung fu to get to know a rotten drunkard like Lao Tzu, you might as well go home and read a few more books! ”
As he spoke, some of the crumbs of bread and eggs in his mouth also fell out, looking somewhat disgusting.
But no matter how disgusting the scene is, it's not unprecedented, so what's the point...... Besides, people didn't spray themselves on themselves, did they?
"Sir, I remember someone saying before, 'No matter how many books you read, you might as well walk more'. Not to mention, I don't even know which way to go now......" Maca thought for a moment, "I don't know anything right now, so I urgently need a 'guide'!" ”
Old Victor listened, looked at Maca again, and was about to say something more. But at this moment, he seemed to have noticed something wrong, and subconsciously looked around......
