The Book of Abraham was originally named The Book of Abraham in the Bible.
The origin of this book is quite legendary and mythical.
It is said to have been a gift from an angel, containing the secret to eternal life.
Nicolas Flamel used The Book of Abraham to refine the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone could not only transmute base metals into gold and create a panacea, but also produce an elixir of immortality.
Nicolas Flamel lived for over six hundred years because of it, eventually choosing to destroy the Philosopher's Stone and give up immortality, which is why he did not continue to live.
Now that he had obtained the method for making the Philosopher's Stone, Luke was extremely excited.
Immortality!
Although he was still young, he already felt a sense of urgency about his lifespan.
There are many long-lived races in Middle-earth, such as Elves who have eternal life, and beings like Gandalf, who, despite their aged appearance, have not changed for thousands of years.
Even the Dwarves have lifespans of several hundred years; for example, Thorin Oakenshield, though he looks young, is already 195 years old.
There is also a unique race among humans, the Dúnedain, whose average lifespan is over two hundred years, three times that of ordinary humans.
Even the hobbits have longer lifespans than ordinary people, not to mention Bilbo, who possesses the one ring.
Although the one ring corrupts the mind, it can slow down aging.
Gollum, for example, lived for over five hundred years.
And when Bilbo celebrated his 111th birthday, his appearance hadn't changed for decades, which aroused Gandalf's suspicion, leading him to confirm that the one ring was in his possession and initiating the quest of the Fellowship of the Ring.
The current time is the Third Age 2941, and the War of the Ring will take place in 3018, a gap of 77 years.
Luke, adding his previous life's age to his current age since transmigrating, is still under thirty, but if he were to live until the start of the War of the Ring, he would already be a centenarian.
Although he is now a Wizard, his lifespan should allow him to live until the end of the War of the Ring.
But he was unwilling to live as a frail old man by then.
The appearance of the Philosopher's Stone, however, gave him hope for immortality.
Although in his memory, the immortality granted by the Philosopher's Stone made by Nicolas Flamel had a drawback: it only made one immortal, not eternally youthful.
But this was still a method of immortality, and it was the only path to immortality he could access at the moment.
Although he was pleasantly surprised to obtain the method for making the Philosopher's Stone, now was not the time to focus on it.
Luke put away the book and prepared with the others to confront the dragon Smaug.
Luke's Conjunctivitis Curse couldn't trap Smaug for long; once Smaug regained his sight, he furiously smashed through the stone wall and continued to pursue Luke and the others.
However, this time Smaug was clearly more cautious, with a translucent nictitating membrane covering his eyes, so when Luke used the Conjunctivitis Curse again, it had no effect on the dragon.
Luke rode his flying broom, constantly dodging Smaug's attacks and leading him into the acid pool prepared by the Dwarves.
However, the acid, on which the Dwarves had placed their hopes, had no effect; the acid, which could easily corrode metal ores, could not penetrate the dragon's hard scales, instead giving him a bath.
As for the explosives prepared by the Dwarves, they were even less powerful than Luke's Exploding Bolt, not even enough to tickle the dragon.
Seeing this, Luke continued to lead Smaug into the forge.
As Gandalf struck the furnace with his staff, releasing the molten lava within.
The lava surged towards Smaug like a tidal wave, burying him within it.
"Did it work?" Balin the Dwarf asked hopefully, looking at the bottomless lava below.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Mr. Balin, the dragon itself can breathe scorching flames, this lava probably won't kill him." Luke stopped his broom in mid-air, looking down and shaking his head.
"But this is also an opportunity to trap Smaug!"
As Luke spoke, he pointed his wand at the lava below: "Glacius!"
The tip of his wand spewed out extreme cold, causing the scorching lava below to rapidly cool and solidify.
The surrounding air quickly dropped in temperature, and the breath of everyone turned into frosty mist.
The lava was originally molten gold; now, after rapidly solidifying on the ground, it became a solid wall cast from gold,
Trapping the dragon Smaug inside.
"He can't get out now, can he?"
Balin shivered from the cold, looking at the golden ground covered with a layer of frost, and asked again, somewhat uncertainly.
Luke stopped casting, his brows furrowed as he stared down.
He didn't sense any movement from the dragon, but he didn't believe the dragon would just stop struggling.
"Gandalf, what do you think?"
Gandalf also frowned and observed carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "We still can't relax our guard; we don't know what other tricks the dragon has."
But at this moment, Thorin could no longer sit still.
"Since the dragon is trapped, let's go find the arkenstone!"
"Only by obtaining the arkenstone will the seven Dwarf clans heed my call, only then can I reclaim all that I have lost, and only then can I avenge myself!"
Saying this, he was about to step across the golden ground to search for the long-desired arkenstone in the treasury.
"Don't move, Thorin!" Gandalf suddenly exclaimed, his face changing as if he had sensed something, loudly stopping Thorin's advance.
But Thorin paid no heed, only wanting to go to the treasury.
The next moment, the previously solidified golden ground quickly began to radiate high heat, becoming increasingly red.
The next second, the ground swelled and bulged like a volcanic eruption, spewing golden lava and scorching flames.
The scorching golden lava splashed everywhere, and the first to be hit was Thorin, who was closest, almost getting drenched by the lava.
"Luke, save him!" Gandalf cried out urgently.
Luke waved his hand, and Thorin instantly flew backward, dodging the lava, and crashed heavily against the stone wall, falling unconscious.
Smaug's head burst out of the lava, spewing scorching dragon fire to melt the surrounding gold.
He climbed out of the golden lava, like a golden dragon, flapping his huge wings, and charged towards the main gate.
'Revenge, I will show you what revenge is! I will ignite the entire land with dragon fire, bringing death and destruction to all!
And all of this is your doing!'
Gandalf's face changed drastically when he saw this scene.
"Luke, stop him quickly! Don't let him leave!"
Luke quickly pursued him on his flying broom, and as the dragon broke through the mountain's stone wall, he used all his strength to cast a spell.
"Crucio!"
The spell instantly struck the dragon's back.
The dragon's movements instantly stiffened, an agonizing pain that penetrated its soul swept through its entire body, as if its bones were being drilled through, its internal organs torn out, and its soul pierced, the extreme physical and mental torment making the dragon let out a very shrill roar.
The sound was so loud that even Lake-town and Mirkwood, thousands of miles away, could hear the dragon's painful roar.
The residents of Lake-town fearfully walked out of their homes, looking towards the Lonely Mountain.
The Elven King in Mirkwood looked even more solemn, his sharp eyes seemingly able to pierce through the forest and see the situation on the Lonely Mountain.
