The lotus seed held in his mouth released a cool breath, and Carson Flores's somewhat muddled mind suddenly cleared.
The sensation was similar to eating a mint candy, the kind that makes one's mind clear up abruptly.
After a while, Carson Flores opened his eyes and looked at the bronze plate again.
The ancient inscriptions once again blossomed with white light, stinging Carson Flores's eyes, but at that moment, a coolness appeared in his eyes, greatly reducing the sensation of pain.
Carson Flores was overjoyed and hurriedly concentrated to observe the inscriptions carefully.
This time, he managed to persist for five minutes before his eyes started to sting again.
He closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen previously. The images became much clearer, no longer murky as if shrouded in a layer of fog.
It really worked!
Thinking that this was a life-saving technique, Carson Flores stayed a few more days, quietly hiding in his room studying the inscriptions.
