Chapter 318 The Changes in Lou Gao's Mindset

"Greetings, my lord."

When he saw Roy's respectful attitude from the high-rise building, he was stunned for a moment. He couldn't understand why a titled Douluo would be so respectful to a kid like Miguel.

Miguel gestured for Roy to get up, ignoring Lou Gao's rude behavior, since ignorance is no excuse. But Daglas couldn't stand it and said directly to Roy, "Get up, Roy. After your brother finishes explaining things, you can tell Lou Gao the rules."

"Rules? Could they be the rules of the Ice Palace?" Lou Gao was full of questions, but on the surface he remained expressionless.

Miguel used divine magic to lock the door to the room, then led them to the divine realm. Lou Gao only felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him changed. Lou Gao still suspects that they used a soul tool for long-distance teleportation.

Based on Lou Gao's understanding of the Ice Palace, it was an ancient sect that had previously remained in seclusion. Besides the forging knowledge he'd seen yesterday, they should also have books on soul tools. Furthermore, yesterday, Miguel had shown Lou Gao some basic forging knowledge, leading Lou Gao to speculate that the Ice Palace's soul tool technology must be quite advanced; creating a teleportation array was understandable.

However, as Lou Gao ventured deeper into the area, he discovered that the energy of heaven and earth here was abundant. Through Roy's explanation, Lou Gao learned that the farmers working in the fields were all Title Douluo. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking how generous the Ice Palace was to have Title Douluo working. He wondered what they were thinking; wouldn't it be better to have ordinary people do the work? Using Title Douluo seemed like a waste of their talents.

"Where are you planning to take me?" Lou Gao couldn't help but ask.

“Central Temple, your faith in the God of Light is too undevout. You need to go to the Central Temple to hear the priest’s teachings.”

Lou Gao knew his faith wasn't devout enough, but he appeared very devout on the surface. He thought Miguel probably wouldn't notice, so he was very uneasy, wondering where he had gone wrong.

The contract clearly states that unless his faith reaches the level of a fanatic, he will not be given any more knowledge about forging in the Ice Palace. That is why he acted with extreme piety, originally hoping to get away with it, but now he finds it impossible.

They soon arrived at the central temple. As Miguel had instructed them yesterday, Father Luke arrived at the central temple early today. When Miguel and the others arrived, Father Luke was devoutly making his daily prayer to the Lord of Light.

“Father Luke, this is my new recruit, but his faith in God is too weak. I hope you can train him properly. If he reaches the level of a half-step saint, then give him this forging hammer.”

"promise."

After finishing his speech, Father Luke glanced at the false believer and then took Lou Gao away from the central temple for a "love education." Miguel didn't say anything about Father Luke's teaching methods. After all, this old man was too restless and dared to play tricks and deceive the gods. Miguel didn't kill him directly because he was one of the few divine craftsmen in the Douluo Continent.

After Father Luke's loving lecture, Lou Gao became a little more obedient. Putting everything else aside, at least his faith had reached the level of a deep believer, rather than the false believer he was at the beginning.

He'll get itchy if we don't teach him a lesson. He's clearly faithless, yet he pretends to be a true believer. Miguel now understood why Tang San had planned to refine him in the original story. Tang San didn't have the same methods of controlling others as he did. Once Lou Gao absorbed all the forging knowledge Tang San had taught him, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause?

“Lou Gao, I respect you as a divine craftsman, and I know you enjoy forging. You pretended to be a believer to gain knowledge of forging, so I'll forgive you for deceiving me this time. But don't deceive the gods again, or that beating you just received was the lightest punishment,” Miguel threatened.

"I understand," Lou Gao said weakly.
