Biology might be a bit too advanced.
Maybe I should start with the more basic "Theory of Microscopic Particles" and educate them on the concept of the world's composition.
However, just at that moment, Youyou, who was floating nearby, quietly reminded him that there seemed to be players in the Great Graveyard who had explained similar things to NPCs, and it seemed they even managed to make an NPC understand.
Without a doubt, the person who taught was talented, and so was the one who listened!
For Luo Yan, this was an unexpected joy. It seemed it wouldn't be long before he could arrange physics and chemistry classes too.
Helen and Sherry exchanged glances, both seeing confusion and a hint of awe in each other's eyes.
After listening to Lord Demon King for so long, they always felt that he knew everything, and all the knowledge he casually imparted was based on evidence. It couldn't possibly be made up.
Are all the demons in Demon City so learned?
Or is it just this lord who is special...
After explaining the structure of cells and the concept of organelles, Luo Yan had Sherry pass the microscope to Helen, and then he explained it all over again to her.
After seeing the "anomaly" before her, the shock remained on Helen's face, but the confusion in her eyes gradually turned into joy from slowly understanding everything.
"So that's how it is... We've always believed that plants grow because there's some special energy within the light, never realizing it was because of these little creatures."
She was aware that plants needed sunlight to grow.
However, neither she nor the priests of her tribe, nor even the plants themselves understood the deeper reasons behind this.
Luo Yan continued her train of thought.
"Your understanding isn't wrong, it's just that light and heat themselves are forms of energy... a different form of energy from magic."
"But there's something I don't understand," Helen hesitated, then began to ask, "why can some plants live in places without sunlight?"
"Because 'photosynthesis' is not the only way plants obtain energy, and not all plants can perform photosynthesis. For example, some fungi that grow on decaying vegetation can breathe like us while decomposing other plants to obtain energy. Then there are some special magic creatures, who may possess traits unknown to us, traits that possibly allow them to absorb magical elements that are free in the air... these are all possibilities."
Specific issues require specific analysis.
Luo Yan hoped to open her mind, rather than confining her thinking to a fixed framework.
If science becomes dogmatic, then what he was doing would be no different from Linte Isaac.
It would just be a shift from the Mechanism Theocracy to a Theocracy of Biology, or some other hybrid creation.
Seeing Helen and Sherry who seemed to half understand, Luo Yan continued in a gentle tone.
"I can't teach you much, and it's not just you who are exploring— I, too, am still groping my way."
He paused, and then went on.
"In a while, I'll return to Demon City, and I hope, during my absence, you'll thoroughly ponder the materials I've left you and the homework questions. Most importantly, I hope you can master this tool and use it to explore the impact of nature-based spells on life activities at the microscopic level... and how to actively intervene in this impact."
"Understood! Leave it to Sherry, Lord Demon King!" Sherry was as enthusiastic as ever, confidently beating her chest and saying, "I will definitely not let you down!"
"Me too... I feel like I already have some ideas in my mind, and they just might work!" Helen nodded seriously, her eyes burning with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
If at first she had doubts about the usefulness of this knowledge and wondered if it really could help with repairing the Dome Crystal on the fourth layer, now there was not the slightest doubt in her heart—
The significance of this knowledge had even surpassed the labyrinth, reaching a height she had never before conceived.
Luo Yan was very satisfied with their responses.
Interest is the best teacher.
With his half-baked skills, he could at most just lead them to the door. Deep exploration was still up to them.
While saying this, Luo Yan did not forget another "student" present— Oke, who was hiding in a corner, listening voraciously, and had not participated in the discussion from beginning to end.
"And you, Oke, I have higher expectations for you... Now that we can magnify a slab of engraved inscriptions by 800 times, there's a way to shrink the dot matrix of Netherworld Language by 800 times, or even integrate the Netherworld Language of an entire book onto a palm-sized metal plate."
As he said this, he patted the surprised Oke on the shoulder.
"Work hard... Also, I'm taking the microscope with me. If you have time in the next few days, I hope you can make another one using the methods I taught you. If you encounter difficulties, you can also ask my minions for help."
To prevent conflicts between his subordinates due to faith and cultural clashes, Luo Yan had prepared a separate Magic Workshop for the guests from the Gray Wind Tribe, dedicated to the research of "nature-based spells."
As for Oke, his main focus was still on studying the Netherworld Language.
After giving these instructions, Luo Yan called for the acolytes of the Alakdo tribe to move the microscope to a cave that Alakdo had recently dug, and then he left Oke's Magic Workshop.
