Maka actually didn't know much about the old events of the Gaunt family. Although he did remember some major and minor events in the magical world because of his two lives, he didn't know all the messy things.

And the reason why he knew the secrets of Voldemort's "evil deeds" and was even able to talk to the old tower just now was mainly due to Dumbledore.

In the past, in order to deal with Voldemort, Dumbledore had carefully verified many past events about him. Even one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, was when he was investigating the old case of the murder of three members of the Riddle family.

Inferred.

When Maka was formulating a plan for Voldemort's Horcrux, she incidentally learned a lot about the Gaunt family from Dumbledore.

But Maka really didn’t expect that today, those old news would actually come in handy again!

"...McLean, since you insist on forcing me to admit it, then I will admit it! Yes, that Morfin Gaunt is my grandfather. After my grandma took my father to hide in a Muggle apartment in London, she

I immediately changed my surname from 'gaunt' to 'taung'."

Perhaps it was because Maka peeled back those past events layer by layer, and almost every single thing he said was correct, which made Old Taon feel more and more pressure in his heart.

So, when Maka revealed that Voldemort's Horcruxes had already fallen into his hands, he finally had no reason to continue holding on.

"So McClain, why are you talking to me about this?"

For Old Taron and his son Enns, it is undoubtedly good news that Voldemort can no longer be resurrected, which means that both father and son can resume their original surnames.

Although both of them have used the surname "Ta Weng" since childhood, if they can recognize their ancestors again, who would like to live with a fake surname all their lives?

But to Maka, does it matter what their surname is? Even if it is related to Slytherin's bloodline, the Gaunt family has long been lonely. Even if Tavon and his son change their ancestral surname, they will not have any inheritable property waiting for them.

Hold them.

However, all the people or things about the four founders of Hogwarts are what Maca wants to know. Especially things like "the heir of Slytherin", others may think it is just a myth.

, but Maka knew it was true.

"You asked me 'for what'?" When Maka heard Old Taon's question, she couldn't help but shrugged, "Of course it was to deal with that Haierbo... Maybe you don't know, the person who sealed him last time

, that’s Salazar Slytherin! Yes, that’s your ancestor.”

"oh?"

When Old Ta Weng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, then curled his lips and said:

"Then after you know my real name is Gaunt, will it help you to kill him? Is it possible that you also plan to let me imitate my ancestor Salazar Slytherin?"

"It's not necessarily a possibility."

Maka's words seemed to be a joke to let a squib fight against the ancient wizard Haierbo? Apart from death, there would obviously be no other outcome.

But in fact, Maka is really not joking!

If it is according to what Stuart said before, then the person most suitable to use the Tablet of Bewitchment should be the heir of Slytherin. And thinking about it this way, not to mention the old Taon, at least his son Enstaon has a certain

hopefully.

Of course, unless forced to do so, Maka would definitely not leave such an arduous and dangerous responsibility directly to a junior student.

"Okay, just think I'm just curious!" He shook his head at Old Taon and said, "It's just that not long ago, a descendant of another bloodline of your Gaunt family came to me. And then what I saw just now

When you passed by, you immediately had some associations...that's all!"

"Another bloodline?"

Just as Stewart thought he was the only remaining member of his lineage, Old Tavon actually always thought so. After all, as early as his grandfather Morfin Gaunt's generation, he was already known as "the last inheritor of Salazar Slytherin."

Self-proclaimed.

"Yes," Maka nodded. "One of the two principals in Ilvermorny in the United States, Barlow Stewart, has an ancestor who came from the Gaunt family. This time he came here to find his widow.

The son who was left behind..."

When Lao Tawen heard what he said, he didn't think it was anything at first, but then his expression changed.

"Hey! McClain," he immediately stared at Maka and raised his voice, "don't tell me that you are doubting Enns' life experience?"

"Oh no, of course not," Maka immediately waved her hand, "First of all, the age is wrong. Stuart thought I was his child at first!"

While saying this, Maka suddenly stood up and patted her outer robe.

"I already know everything you want to know, so I won't stay any longer... If you are interested later, I can help you and Stuart introduce each other to meet each other. After all, we are all relatives."

"No!" Lao Tawen immediately rejected Maka's proposal angrily, "If you want to leave, leave quickly!"

…

When Maka took the Weasleys back to the ranch camp, wisps of sunset had already hung on the sky, and the originally dazzling sun was gradually turning into a soft red.

The setting sun shone on the large expanses of green grass and tents, as if they were covered with a red-gold veil.

The camp was roughly the same as the temporary shelter in Diagon Alley. Many people were busy coming and going, and ingredients for dinner had begun to be prepared in the central open space.

Of course, Hermione, Ginny, Luna and others were also there, waving their wands to help the witches in charge of dinner.

When Maka and the Weasleys suddenly appeared in sight, Ginny, who reacted the fastest, immediately ran over and hugged them both.

"Dad, Mom...Oh, I finally see you again! Are you all okay? London was so dangerous at that time, were you injured or anything?"

This was what Mr. and Mrs. Weasley wanted to ask, but Ginny said it first, so that both of them didn't know what to say.

"Oh, it's okay, dear..."

Generally speaking, family reunions are always beautiful, and this time is obviously the same. Maka stood aside, smiled and nodded, and then said to Hermione who was not far away:

"Where are Ron and the other brothers? I'm going to call them over."

"No, no need, I'll just go!" Hermione said immediately, "Maka, Mr. Dean seemed to be looking for you just now. If you have time, go and see him first!"
