The mirror began to glow a faint red, and then slowly split apart, revealing a restrained, blurred figure. The soul of the woman in red seems to be beginning to break free from the shackles of the mirror, but her form is still unclear.

"Thank you, stranger," her voice was full of gratitude. "I've been stuck here for too long. But your friend... He paid a huge price for me.

Harold was full of unease, but he knew that the most important thing at the moment was to rescue the woman in red. "We're too late," he said. "Quick, follow me, we have to get out of here. The

spirit of the woman in red began to follow Harold and slowly walked out of the hall. The entire maze seemed to begin to tremble, emitting strong energy fluctuations. Time seems to start to warp, making everything chaotic.

By the time they finally returned to the church hall, everything had become chaotic. The labyrinth disappeared, the structure of the church was damaged, and the runes and patterns on the walls began to fade.

The shape of the woman in red gradually became clear, and her eyes were full of emotion. "I'm finally free," she said softly, looking at Harold gratefully. "But your friend... He has been cursed. We must find a way to free him.

Harold's heart sank, but he said firmly: "Yes, we can't give up Lin Nan. We will find a way to free him. The

woman in red nodded, then concentrated. She began to undo the curse on Lin Nan and restore his existence little by little. Harold watched the process and hoped to see his friend again soon.

As time passed, Lin Nan's form reappeared, but his expression still looked pale and tired. When the curse was finally lifted, he took a deep breath and got back on his feet.

"Lin Nan, are you okay?" Harold asked with concern.

Lin Nan nodded slightly, his voice tinged with weakness. "I feel weak, but I'm still here. Thank you, Harold, for saving us.

Lin Nan felt that his body gradually regained strength, but his face was still full of worry. He looked at the woman in red and said gratefully: "Thank you, your redemption, so that I can regain my freedom." But I have to learn more about your story, and this ancient power. The

woman in red nodded slightly, staring at the church window in the distance. "My story began a long time ago when I was a young witch. I sought strength, but fell into a dark trap. I am trapped in this mirror, and my soul is imprisoned in this ancient church.

She continued: "The mirror is an ancient object that was used to imprison those seeking strength. Unsealing it would take a huge sacrifice that I thought would never be saved. Until you guys show up.

Harold looked in the mirror, and he understood how powerful and dangerous this ancient force was. "We can't let this mirror continue," he said. "Its power is too dangerous. We must find a way to destroy it to prevent it from being abused again.

Lin Nan nodded in agreement. "But first, we need to understand how to destroy it. Perhaps the woman in red could provide clues. The

woman in red thought for a moment, and then said: "To destroy this mirror, we need a powerful magic, a magic that can counteract its power. But this magic has long been lost and is only possible to find in ancient books and documents.

Harold decided that they had to start searching for these lost documents in order to gain the magical knowledge to destroy the mirror. They will have to face many unknown dangers, but they know that this is the only way to stop this ancient force from threatening the world again.

Lin Nan, Harold, and the Woman in Red begin their quest for magical knowledge about destroying ancient mirrors. They arrived at an old library filled with dusty books and faded literature.

Lin Nan browsed the books on the shelves, hoping to find some clues. The woman in red began to delve into ancient magic books, while Harold asked around, trying to find clues about the magician or scholar who had been once legended.

After a long period of research and investigation, they finally found an ancient magic book that recorded a magical ritual capable of destroying ancient mirrors. This ritual requires powerful magical energy and complex spells, as well as special materials, one of which is rubies.

Lin Nan looked at this record, and his heart was full of expectation. "We found the answer," he enthuses. "Now, we just need to be ready to complete this ritual and destroy that terrible mirror. The

woman in red nodded, she knew the importance of this ceremony. "But ritual spells require the power of multiple people, and we need to find other people with magical talents to join our team.

Harold began to think, and then said: "There is an ancient magician who was once said to have great magical powers. His name was Eric and he is said to have lived in seclusion in the nearby mountains. Maybe he can help us. The

three were ready to set off for the mountains in search of Eric. They know it will be a journey full of adventure and challenges, but their determination is steadfast because they understand that only by destroying that ancient mirror can the spread of dark forces be stopped.

Before they left the library, Lin Nan suddenly noticed an ancient book with "Lost Secret" written on the cover. He opens the book and finds a record of a powerful magical ritual that is said to be used to repair broken items.

"Maybe this ritual can be used to repair my book," Lin Nan said, picking up a broken magic book that he had been carrying. "This book used to be a relic of my mentor, but it's broken. If we are able to fix it, it may contain important information about destroying the mirror. Both

the Woman in Red and Harold agreed to try to restore the book. They flipped through the records in the book and discovered that the ritual required some special materials and complex spells. One of the key materials is an ancient spar that exudes mysterious energy that can be used to complete broken items.

Lin Nan knew that they had to find the spar in order to restore his book. They made this task one of their priorities, but also knew that it would not be an easy one. They must travel to an unknown place in search of the spar and face possible dangers.

"We had to take it one step at a time," Harold said. "First, we headed to the mountains to find Eric and get his help. Then, let's consider the issue of restoring books. "

They came to the nearby mountains and embarked on a journey to find Eric. The trails between the mountains are winding and rugged, and the steep peaks seem to stretch endlessly. Harold leads them, relying on his navigation skills, trying to find Eric's hideaway.

Lin Nan noticed that in this place surrounded by nature, their mood seemed to be a little more relaxed. "The fresh air here," he says, "is like going back to nature."

The woman in red smiled and nodded. "Yes, the forces of nature are always tranquil. We can probably find the answer here and find the spar you need to fix your book.

Just as they continued to move forward, a strange sound reached their ears, as if it were a mixture of the howling of the wind and the whispering. Lin Nan frowned, feeling an unusual energy flowing around.

"There seems to be some kind of magic sign here," he said, "and we need to be careful.

Just as they were alertly moving on, suddenly a group of strange creatures popped out of the woods, with feathered wings and green skin, as if they were half-human, half-birds. They let out sharp screams and pounced on the three.

"Half-human bird creatures!" Harold whispered, drawing his weapon. "Get ready to fight!" the

three fought fiercely, wrestling with these strange creatures. The woman in red unleashed her magical energy, Lin Nan used his magical skills, and Harold skillfully used his weapons, and they fought against the attacks of the half-human birds.

The battle was long and intense, but in the end, the three managed to repel the creatures, forcing them to retreat back into the woods. They had some pain on their bodies, but they persevered.

"These creatures must be guardians," Lin Nan said, "and they're guarding something important." We have to keep going, find Eric and get his help. The

woman in red nodded in agreement, her eyes full of determination. They know that this journey is full of dangers and challenges, but their determination will never waver, because they firmly believe that only through unity and courage can they find the answer, destroy that ancient mirror of terror, free Lin Nan, free the woman in red, and stop the threat of the dark forces.

They continue to advance deeper into the mountains, the trails become steeper and steeper, and the surrounding natural landscape becomes more ancient and mysterious. In front of a huge rock, they discover a hidden cave entrance, as if waiting for their arrival.

"Is this Eric's retreat?" Lin Nan asked suspiciously.

Harold nodded, and he took out a huge piece of emerald shining green. "It's Eric's keepsake," he said, "and we can use it to inform him of our arrival." The

woman in red gently touched her palm on the emerald, transmitting her magical energy into it. The jadeite emitted a burst of bright light, and then gradually darkened, as if it were a signal.

After a moment of waiting, there was a loud sound from the depths of the cave, as if it was the sound of mountain rocks moving. Then, an ancient magician came out of the cave, his back slightly hunched, his face wrinkled, but his eyes flashing with wisdom and strength.

"Are you coming for me Eric?" His voice was low and powerful.
