Roland didn't reply to her, only silently wished his former ally well.
He merely lamented that human exploration and control of the ocean would come to a temporary halt.
Technology was too backward.
The semi-ironclad ships of this era might show off among humans, but challenging the intelligent life of the ocean was still a far cry.
Perhaps the ocean should belong to oceanic life anyway.
What truly shook Roland's heart was another sentence.
"When fish step onto land, they are no longer fish; when humans embark on the path to the stars, they are no longer human."
Prior to this, he rarely had the time to ponder such philosophical questions.
Human beings are undoubtedly human, no matter how powerful they become, they are still human.
