harry potter book of crimes

When many things are constantly accumulating and you are almost too busy to do anything, you still have to take time to listen to a story that does not seem to be of any help to you. This has to be said to be a very "luxury" behavior.

Thanks to Luna's help, Maka actually knew everything she needed to know about the secret of the mercury statue in the center of Spiral Town Square.

As for the old stories about "Mrs. Miranda Gaunt", to be honest, they don't seem to mean much to Maka.

No matter what the original intention was when establishing this town, and no matter how the current situation of allowing all kinds of refugees to move in was inconsistent with the original intention, it seems to have nothing to do with Maka.

But somehow, Maka still subconsciously hoped that Gunter would continue speaking. No matter how tight his time was, he still wanted to hear the other person's words to the end.

And just saying that, it's a whole hour.

"Mr. Gunter..."

When the other party finally finished talking about the memories that clearly belonged to the other party, Maka spoke again, looking at the stubble-covered face of the man who was no longer young and said:

"Honestly, I don't know why I want to stand here and listen to you talk about this past... But I think it may be the same for you. You know that, no matter whether you have told your wife about your great wish or not,

I, I will do my best to protect this town. After all, there are many people I cherish living here, and my desire to protect them can be seen by many people, including you."

Not only Gunter, but also Herbo was somewhat aware of his ties and ties, and even used them several times to set him up.

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but smile, and then continued:

"So I have to say that it is a coincidence that we are able to have this conversation here. This matter has been in your heart for too long, so you want to talk; and I don't know why, but I want to listen... Oh, if it is

I guessed wrong, so let me apologize to you first."

Gunter listened to him say these words, and with his irritable and self-centered character, he was naturally a little unhappy.

But now, the two of them were talking about his wife Miranda, and this alone was enough to extinguish the unnecessary anger in his heart.

His Mira will always stay in the softest place in his heart,

After taking a deep breath and exhaling the turbid air gently, Gunter calmed down again. Then, he frowned and shook his head, then turned his gaze to look at Maka and said:

"You did 'guess wrong'...or, at least, you only guessed half of it right. You heard just now that I promised Enns his mother a lot of things, and I did them all...but

There is another thing, but it is far beyond my ability to achieve."

"What's up?"

Maka suddenly realized that maybe she was just as the other person said, and she had not guessed his thoughts accurately. And the next words were probably what the other person really wanted to say to her.

As for the past incident about his wife just now, it was just a foreshadowing that was great and touching, but also smelly and lengthy.

"McLean, you may have felt from a long time ago that I have always been the most 'selfish' person."

Gunter curled his lips and said with emotion, but also as if he didn't care:

"As for Mira, to be honest, I still love her deeply. However, love is love, but it does not mean that I will violate my own ideas and agree with everything about her because of love."

"To be honest, whether it's pure blood, mixed blood, Muggle... even those vampires, werewolves, house elves, everything is fine in my opinion! What if they can live in harmony together?

?So what if we are hostile to each other? What does this have to do with me?"

"Therefore, I just hope that I can fulfill all the promises I made to Mira, and then I will naturally owe her nothing, including that boy Enns."

It can be said that Maka knows the temperament of the Gunter family very well. After all, he has been entangled with that unusually typical heir of the Gunter family for such a long time.

However, the Gunter in front of him, he thought, would be quite different from the "Gaunt" he knew, because no matter what, the environment he lived in the day after tomorrow would have a huge impact on a person's character.

But who knows, a paranoid person will remain paranoid no matter what.

"Mr. Gunter, what do you mean?"

It must be said that Gunter has lived in hatred of Voldemort since he was a child, which was directly caused by his mother. Therefore, he maintains a disdain for the "pure blood theory", the theory that Voldemort insists on.

The inner opposition.

And this is also an important factor that Maka believes has had a great impact on his life.

However, Mr. Gunter, who does not agree with the theory of pure blood supremacy, must in turn agree with the argument of "the great integration of various groups"?

Generally speaking, he and Voldemort are still the same, they both only focus on their own existence.

Even counting Hai Erbo, there is not much difference, but that guy's wisdom, consciousness and ability are obviously much higher than them.

"What I mean is," Gunter pursed his lips slightly, and then said very calmly, "help me fulfill the last promise I made to her, and then I will share the key to the Gunter family's treasure house with you.

It’s a deal.”

"Um?"

Maka didn't respond immediately, he just snorted with some meaning, without much expression on his face.

After a slight pause, he lowered his eyelids and changed the topic:

"I seem to have heard you mention Xiao Ens just now?"

"Yes," Gunter nodded immediately, "I know what you want to say is right, I intend to hand him over to you. But as for half of the treasure house that will belong to you, it is up to you whether you want to share it with him or not.

Let’s do it! McClain, I’ve been observing you for a long time, so I also believe that... that kid will at least be more comfortable living with you than with me!"

"Tsk."

Maka couldn't help but clicked her tongue in annoyance as she listened.

Everything this guy said was actually just an excuse. Even the last sentence was essentially because he hoped to have a good reason to get rid of the child.

But... this man would remain silent in the Muggle world for more than ten years because of his promise, but in the end he would so decisively give away his child as a trouble.

"How complex and twisted is this guy's character... to make him behave like this inexplicably?"

Maka couldn't help but think so in her heart.

"The story about a great female wizard just now seems like a great irony."
