The city of Tarun.

It was once one of the largest cities in the South, but as corruption prevailed, the law gradually became a tool of the powerful. Gradually, the city began to show a sense of twilight, and slowly began to decline, and more and more merchants avoided this place where everything needed to be bribed. However, the decline of Tarun also means the rise of other forces, namely the forces of the gray area, and the churches of many evil gods.

And now in an underground prison.

A group of cloaked men were kneeling under the altar in prayer, and in the center of the altar was a scantily clad and beautiful maiden, holding a long whip in her hand, which suddenly slammed into her body after a burst of prayer. This time, almost with all his strength, a bloody whip mark appeared on the back of this beautiful girl. At this moment, the others under the altar also took out their whips, and also whipped them on themselves, and then knelt on the ground and prayed. The followers and priests of Lauvetta had many techniques for the long whip, just as many of Sauron's followers were adept at using scimitars, which were changed by the preferences of the gods.

It didn't end anytime soon.

After a period of near-masochistic scourging, the devotees began the next step in the prayer ritual.

This special ritual is called the Candle Flame.

The devotees first chanted hymns and danced and prayed around the burning candles, and then, under the guidance of the priest, some beautiful maidens began to appear, and they kept burning their bodies with the flame of the candles, while the other believers dripped the candles on their bodies, and the whole process continued for a while. Until the ritual is completed, the high priest extinguishes the candle with holy wine.

The ritual came to a climax at this moment.

When all the worshippers were covered with whip marks and candles, a divine light appeared on the altar, and then the figure of a hazy maiden appeared.

Then everyone began to pray passionately, and the pastor sang the hymn aloud.

The whole ceremony lasted about two hours.

When all was over, the maiden on the altar waved her hand slightly, and a sense of serenity and pleasure emerged.

At this time, the priest also began to perform the magic of healing the wounds of the flesh. Minor injuries are usually treated, and occasionally believers will make themselves seriously injured in order to please the goddess.

Pain Maiden - Levita is an aggressive, domineering, and fearless goddess who guards all the torturers, sadists, and bullies on the continent.

Distressed girls are passionate about causing pain (both physical and psychological).

Lauveta's churches are usually large in large cities in decline and decay (as the corrupt bureaucracy in the cities usually turns a blind eye to their corrupt and depraved behavior), and the authorities in the churches are all female humans or half-elves. Churches often recruit new members from the city's wealthy and powerful classes. Her priest was always relentless in inflicting all kinds of torture, or pretending to be in love with a young nobleman and then abandoning him; They also try to sabotage all romances and friendships, first pretending to be intimate in front of these victims, and then sneering at them.

For believers in the Pain Maiden, superb acting skills and beautiful appearance are very useful tools.

The camp of the Girl of Pain is [Order and Evil].

Generally speaking, the evil gods of this camp act very much like the devil. And most of them are very planned.

This can be seen in the teachings of the Agony Maiden.

Judging from the rituals of the church, the Girl of Pain is not much different from other evil gods, but if you read her teachings, then you will find that this goddess is really not simple.

The doctrine of the Church of Pain is relatively long.

If you simply pick some out, you can summarize the following ones.

"The world is full of pain and suffering, so the only thing we can do is to face the inevitable pain and pay tribute to those who caused us more pain." -- Doctrine 1

"Kindness is the best companion for hurt and suffering, for only kindness can deepen the pain of torment. To remember. The never-ending cruelty and torture only make the abused person rise up and resist, so occasionally (on a whim) stop the torture and give them unexpected comfort and medical treatment. It makes it unclear of the will of the goddess, so that the ignorant people will crave the mercy of the suffering girl even more. —Doctrine 2.

"The whip, the fire, and the cold are the three tools that the goddess has given to her devotees to be useful." - Doctrine 6.

"Whenever we inflict torture and punishment, we should preach the teachings of Lauita. Suffering is a comprehensive trial, and it strengthens mental resilience. and to give true joy to those who have gone through their suffering. Only those who know the canons of the goddess can inflict real punishment and abuse. - Doctrine 9.

"Wherever there is a whip, there will be the goddess Lavita. Fear Laveta and desire her grace. —The Last Paragraph of the Doctrine.

The teachings of the Agony Maiden are interesting.

Especially in that part, the pain is a full-fledged trial, and it strengthens the resilience of the spirit. And to give true joy to those who have gone through the torment.

This is simply the highest level of shaking M!

Mordo City. Council Chamber.

When Sauron decided to deal with the Girl of Pain, all the information about her was secretly sent to him by the agents of Mordor City. There are not many other churches in Sauron's church, but there are a lot of wanderers, and the efficiency of gathering information is almost several streets behind other churches. The message from the Goddess of Joy is important, but Sauron is dealing with the Girl of Pain, but her church still needs Sauron's church to deal with, so she must first know the inside of the abusive church.

Everything else is more so-so.

After reading a lot of information, Sauron became interested in Lauvita's teachings.

Surprised!

Sauron actually saw a little bit of positive energy in Lauvita's teachings, even if it was just a nice thing to say.

But.

If this is used for transformation, it will have a lot of use.

Think of pain as grinding!

If you can grasp this point and transform, then there will be no problem with Vivien's priesthood fusion! Pure abuse of the priesthood is still too low-end! Sauron's original purpose in dealing with Levita was to put it on the [painful] priesthood, and as for the other tortures, tortures, whippings, etc., they were all things that could not be put on the table.

Pain, pain, suffering.

These are the really useful priesthoods, and it can be applied to the gods of the evil camp, and it can also be transformed into the gods of the good camp.

And Vivian and Lilian's priesthood is a trade-off between this!

That's right.

Sauron thought of two directions of the priesthood, Lillian was clearly in the evil camp, and Vivien was definitely in the good camp.

With Pain as the starting priesthood, both of them can be concerned.
