Chapter 1364

"Yes, of course you have the right to remain silent! But since you don't want to answer, I have to guess irresponsibly according to my own ideas..."

"For example, is the surname 'Taung' so similar to 'gaunt'?"

When Maka said his guess in a plain tone, old taweng's eyes flickered slightly. But even if the "coincidence" had passed, he still stubbornly kept silent, as if he had no intention of admitting it.

"Don't you think?" Maka looked at his deceptive appearance and shook his head gently. "Then... Let me guess more!"

After a little meal, he suddenly continued:

"Muffin Gunter, the last male descendant of Gunter family more than 60 years ago, and also the last generation of male blood inheritor of Salazar Slytherin - relevant records show that this is the handwritten content written by muffin himself, and it is also his public announcement to the magic society at that time."

Because Salazar Slytherin had only one daughter, and this daughter married the Gunter family, Salazar's blood was only indirectly inherited by Gunter family.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the dilution of matrilineal inheritance and in order not to make Salazar's blood thinner, that led to the almost morbid tradition of "close relatives" of the Gunter family. Almost every generation of family owners will choose to have offspring with their blood relatives, so that the "pure" descendants of the Gunter family often have quite strange physical or psychological defects.

As Marca mentioned, mofen Gunter is a famous neurotic and violent maniac. He has had several "glorious" deeds of attacking Ministry of magic officials and law enforcement officers.

"But as far as I know," continued Marca, "at that time, in addition to mofen Gunter, he also had a sister and a sister - the sister married a Muggle and gave birth to Tom Riddle, Voldemort who later stirred the wind and rain in the English magic world."

"But in addition, what about mofen's sister?"

At this point, he spread his hands.

"Although Murphy himself never mentioned it, according to a 'unique' tradition of the Gunter family, he should have married his sister? And I have reason to think that their husband and wife should have a child."

As soon as the voice fell, Maka looked at the indifferent side face of old taweng and said with profound meaning:

"Oh, calculate the age. Their child should be about the same age as your father?"

Listening to Maka's inference and the last obvious temptation, old taweng couldn't help it anymore. He threw the last sandwich in his hand into his mouth, turned his head, stared at Marca and said impatiently:

"About the same age as my father? So what?"

"Well, not much! As I said just now, I'm just guessing!" Marca shrugged. "Or did I happen to be right?"

As soon as he said this, old taweng immediately opened his mouth again, but at the end, he suddenly calmed down again. Seeing that he turned away again and closed his lips again, Maka couldn't help saying:

"If you don't speak, I have the right to think that you have affirmed my statement! However, I don't quite understand one thing -"

He waved his hand and said:

"Look! You said earlier that you hid your name from the magic world in order to avoid Voldemort. Now it seems that this should be a fact. Only when you mention it to others, others often only think of the last wizard war provoked by Voldemort, and you won't correct this misunderstanding of others."

A really good lie is always mixed with a part of the truth - at the beginning, Maka was cheated by this guy half true and half false, and she didn't even know it was wrong.

"However," Maka then turned, "you should know that Tom Riddle is long gone. So why do you insist on changing your name?"

"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the surname 'Gunter', and even it can bring more benefits to you and Ernst, can't it?"

"Please note, Mr. McLean - all this is just your conjecture, and I haven't admitted it yet!" old Taron shook his hand. "What Gunter family, what Salazar Slytherin... Has nothing to do with me. I've been Taron since I was young, okay?"

"Is that so?" Maka nodded. "Well, I believe you, you should be telling the truth. After all, after Voldemort personally killed three of his father's family, he blamed his uncle muffin Gunter - he modified muffin's memory, let muffin admit his crime, and then spent the rest of his life in Azkaban."

"Voldemort thought he was foolproof, but unexpectedly, he missed Murphy's wife who had never been made public... Yes, he didn't even know he had an aunt and a big nephew!"

According to these contents, we can imagine:

After muffin was sentenced to Azkaban, his sister... That is, his wife, should not have known about it. She may just think that her violent husband really killed people - after all, muffin has never had any good feelings for the Riedel family.

After that, Voldemort, then Tom Riddle, graduated from Hogwarts and traveled around the world. During this period, the mother and son still lived as low-key as before, and learned the truth of Tom Riddle's framed husband in some coincidence.

Just then, Tom Riddle returned as Voldemort, and soon set off a bloody storm in the British magic world.

In that case, Gunter's mother and son chose to avoid.

Because they immediately realized that Voldemort probably killed his Muggle father's family because he didn't want people to know his mixed blood.

So if Voldemort knew that Murphy had a mother and son left in the world, the greatest possibility was to come to the door in person and seal their mouths with death!

So far, Maka is actually understandable. Even afterwards, old taweng still insisted on living in anonymity, because he probably had long been decoupled from the magic world in the Muggle world, and he may not even know that Voldemort once died of his own rebound Killing Curse.

Just... Now?

Old Taron had sent Ernst to Hogwarts, and he already knew that Voldemort and greenward both died in Hogwarts' vestibule.

Up to now, he has not changed back to the surname "Gunter". What is he doing?

"Mr. Taron," thought Marca, suddenly as if aware of something, and raised her eyebrows, "do you... Do you know about Voldemort's Horcrux?"

There seems to be only one thing that will make old taweng still unwilling to change his surname, that is, he actually knows that Voldemort is not really dead.

Sure enough, when Maka suddenly mentioned this, his face full of impatience finally added a touch of seriousness.

As soon as Marca saw it, she knew it.

"It seems that you are really worried about this," he nodded slightly. "Also, as long as Voldemort doesn't really die one day, you can never settle down. Because no one knows which day he will suddenly rise again and make waves again."

"... in fact," Marca didn't care much, "it's true that Voldemort is not dead. But you can rest assured that even if he is barely 'alive', he can't appear in front of you again - because I can tell you clearly that his Horcrux, even his own ghost, is already in my hand."

"All in your hands?"

This time, old taweng was really shocked.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, of course it's serious," Marca said. "So I don't think you need to hold on to the surname 'taweng' anymore... Oh, if you really like this surname, I don't seem to care."

"Tut," the old tavern was stunned for a moment, and finally recovered, "OK, OK, I know - but the question is, why did you ask me to ask this? What's your purpose, McLean?"
