==Outcome==
==Outcome==
Ezio could meet with Leonardo in different locations around Rome and re-obtain the Codex weapons through purchasing them. Once Ezio had destroyed all of the war machines, Leonardo would also create a [[Parachutes|parachute]] for him, which Ezio could then purchase and resupply from any [[Tailors|tailor]].
Ezio reunited with Leonardo but learned the Borgia were forcing him to build war machines for Cesare's army. Despite this, Leonardo assured Ezio that he could remake the gear lost during the [[siege of Monteriggioni]] and arranged a secret communication method so they would know when and where to meet and exchange funds for equipment.
