May 1675
Northampton, The British Empire
A middle-aged man, around 30 years old, got down from his carriage and walked into a small town on foot. On his way in, he greeted several familiar faces, but as he got close to a particular building, he abruptly came to a halt. The man took a deep breath and removed his hat, showed a slight smile on his face, and entered the compound.
'I'm finally back,' the middle-aged man muttered as he smelled a faint scent of carbon even before he could enter the building, which was completely different from the stench of reagents used for leather outside. The guards who looked to be guarding the building did not even try to stop the man and simply let him go.
