284 Marlowe & Space Master

Emma could only massage her temple and shake her head. "It's up to you whether you will answer my questions or not. I won't ask again."

Finally, Marlowe relented and answered Emma's question while wrapping Lyra's wound with a bandage and then patting the animal gently to coax her to sleep.

"They're all my pets," replied Marlowe. "I brought them here from Taeshi."

"Oh ... it is so far," Emma exclaimed. She knew Taeshi was at the other end of the Akkadian empire. Their school was close to Terren, on the opposite side. So from here to Taeshi, it could take over a week by train.

"Oh ... I came here with the help of a Space Master," said Marlowe lightly. As if the distance was nothing to him.

Space Master?? Emma had heard about this mage several times, but she had never met anyone who was a Space Master. She had only met the Time Master.

"Did you really meet a Space Master?" asked Emma in surprise.
