Dialogue
Ezio entered Leonardo's workshop, where Salaì was examining one of the recovered paintings.
Ezio:Have you found anything?
Salaì:Nothing is there, no pages, nothing.
Ezio:That cannot be. Something must be special about them. Think.
Salaì: I am done thinking. These paintings are a blank slate.
Ezio:Salaì, doesn't Leonardo conceal his research?
Salaì:He frequently writes backwards... Ezio, he also experimented with inks, including an ink that vanishes! But we can't see invisible ink... can we? Ezio, use your gift!
Ezio:You know about that too?
Ezio spoke to Salaì as he sat by the fireplace.
Ezio:I am going to solve this.
Salaì:I hope so. I cannot take much more.
Salaì:Do you think they would hurt him? Leonardo is terrified of violence.
Ezio:Unfortunately, this world is a violent place.
