"Yes, of course you have the right to be silent! It's just that since you don't want to answer, then I have to guess irresponsibly according to my own ideas......"

"For example, is the surname 'Taung' a little similar to 'Gaunt'?"

When Maca said her guess in a flat tone, Old Taon's eyes flickered slightly. But even if this "coincidence" had gone too far, he still stubbornly kept silent, as if he had no intention of admitting it.

"Don't you think?" Maca looked at his tricky appearance and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, "So...... Let me guess a little more! ”

After a moment's pause, he suddenly continued:

"Morfin Gaunt, the last male descendant of the Gaunt family more than sixty years ago, and the last male lineage of Salazar Slytherin—the records suggest that this was written by Morfin himself, and it was also his public declaration of the magical society of the time."

Since Salazar Slytherin had only one daughter, and this daughter was married to the Gaunt family, Salazar's bloodline was passed down indirectly from the Gaunt line.

Perhaps it was the dilution of the maternal lineage, in order not to further thin Salazar's bloodline, that led to the almost pathological tradition of "inbreeding" of the Gaunt family. Almost every generation of heads of the family will choose to have offspring with blood relatives in the family, so that the "pure" descendants of the Gaunt family often have rather strange physical or psychological defects.

For example, the Muffin Gaunt mentioned by Maca is a notoriously neurotic and violent maniac, who has attacked several Ministry of Magic officials and law enforcement officers for "glorious" deeds.

"But as far as I know," continued Maca, "the Gaunt family had an older sister and a younger sister besides Morfin Gaunt—the elder of whom married a Muggle and gave birth to Tom Riddle, who would later wreak havoc in British wizarding circles. ”

"But what about Morfin's sister?"

Speaking of which, he spread his hands.

"Although Morfin himself has not mentioned it to the public once, according to some 'unique' tradition of the Gaunt family, he must have married his sister, right? And I have reason to think that the couple should have a child. ”

As soon as the words fell, Maca looked at the indifferent side face of the old Taon, and said meaningfully:

"Oh, do the math, that kid of theirs must be about the same age as your father, right?"

Listening to Maca's inference, and the obvious temptation at the end, Old Taon finally couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the last sandwich in his hand into his mouth, then turned his head, glared at Maca impatiently, and said:

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

"Well, it's not that good! As I said earlier, I'm just guessing! Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "Or did I happen to guess correctly?" ”

As soon as he said this, Old Taon immediately opened his mouth a few more times, but in the end, he suddenly calmed down again. Seeing that he had turned his head again, Maca closed her lips again, and couldn't help but say:

"If you don't speak, then I'll be sure you have affirmed my statement! It's just that there's one thing I don't really understand—"

He waved his hand and gestured:

"Look! You've said earlier that you stayed incognito away from the wizarding world to avoid Voldemort, and now it seems that this should be true. It's just that when you talk to others, they tend to think of the last wizarding war that Voldemort provoked, and you won't correct this misunderstanding. ”

A really good lie is always mixed with a part of the truth - at the beginning, Maca was deceived by this guy's half-truth, and she didn't even know that she had thought about it.

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

"In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with the surname 'Gaunt', and it can even bring more benefits to you and to Enns, can it?"

"Mind you, Mr. McLean—it's all just your speculation, I haven't admitted it yet!" Old Taon shook his hand and said, "What the Gaunt family, what Salazar Slytherin...... It has nothing to do with me. Ever since I was a child, I've always had the surname 'Taon', understand? ”

"Is that so?" Maca nodded, "Well, I believe you, and you should be telling the truth. After all, after Voldemort killed his father's family of three, he put the blame on his uncle Morfin Gaunt - he modified Morfin's memories to make Morfin confess his guilt and spend the rest of his life in Azkaban. ”

Voldemort thought he was doing everything he could, but he didn't expect that he had left out Morfin's wife, who had never been made public...... Yes, he didn't even know he had an aunt and a nephew! ”

Based on these, you can actually imagine:

After Mofin was sentenced to Azkaban, his sister ...... That is, his wife, who should not know it. She probably just thought that her violent husband had really killed someone—after all, Morfin had never had any affection for the Riddles.

After that, Voldemort, who was then Tom Riddle, graduated from Hogwarts and traveled the world. During this time, the mother and son continued to live in a low-key manner as before, and learned the truth about Tom Riddle's framing of her husband in some coincidence.

It was at this time that Tom Riddle returned as Lord Voldemort, and soon set off a bloody storm in the British wizarding world.

In that case, the Gunter mother and son chose to dodge.

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

So if Voldemort knew that Morfin still had a mother and son left in the world, the most likely thing was to come to the door in person and seal their mouths with death!

At this point, maca is actually understandable. Even after the incident, the old Taon still insisted on living incognito, because in the Muggle world, he had probably long since disconnected from the wizarding world, and he might not even know that Voldemort had once died from his own rebounding killing curse.

It's just that...... What now?

Old Taon had already sent Ens to Hogwarts, and he already knew that both Voldemort and Greenwald had died in the Hogwarts vestibule.

To this day, he has not changed back to the surname "Gaunt", what is he doing?

"Mr. Taon," Maca said as if she had realized something, "...... Do you know about Voldemort's Horcruxes, too? ”

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

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

When Maca saw it, she immediately felt her heart.

"It seems that you are really concerned about that," he said slightly, "and also, as long as Voldemort does not actually die for a day, you will never be able to settle down." Because no one knows when he will suddenly come back to life and make waves again. ”

“…… And in fact," Maca said unconcernedly, "it is true that Voldemort is not dead." But rest assured, even if he is barely 'alive', it will be impossible for him to appear in front of you again - for I can tell you very clearly that his Horcruxes, and even his own remnants, are already in my hands. ”

"It's all in your hands?"

This time, the old Taon was really stunned.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, of course," Maka said, "so I don't think you need to hold on to the surname Taon...... Oh, if you really like this surname, then I don't seem to care. ”

"Tsk," said Old Taon, who was stunned for a moment, finally came back to his senses, "Okay, okay, I know—but the question is, why are you asking me about this?" McLean, what is your purpose? ”
