- —Leonardo and Ezio, during Ezio's visit to Leonardo's workshop
Ezio returns to Florence after two years of absence. He quickly makes his way to Leonardo da Vinci's workshop, bringing with him the Codex pages Leonardo was fascinated with. Warmly greeted by Leonardo, Ezio hands the Codex pages to him. As expected, he was able to decipher the page, but only the first. He learns that the page contained new techniques for assassinations and silencing soldiers in several ways.
Leonardo instructs Ezio to practice these new techniques on the small terrace beside his workshop, and instructs his assistant to set up some dummies for training, while he deciphers the other page. Ezio agrees to this, and practices the new techniques on the dummies, learning to strike from above and under ledges, and also in hiding places.
Ezio, successful in performing the new methods of assassination, returns to Leonardo, where he is handed a new Hidden Blade, constructed using the Codex page. Before leaving, Ezio tells Leonardo that he is looking for someone, but remarks that he cannot approach this someone publicly. He asks Leonardo if he knows a way to get close, but was quickly silenced before he could say anything any further, as if someone was watching. He mentions the name "La Volpe", and tells him that "The Fox" usually dwells in the market not far from Leonardo's workshop.
Telling Ezio to look for La Volpe there, the two bid each other farewell and good fortune, as Leonardo prepares to return to his work, while Ezio leave for the market.
The Fox and The Eagle
Ezio searches the marketplace, in hopes of finding La Volpe, but as he looked on, however, his money pouch was stolen by a thief. Giving chase to the pickpocket, Ezio manages to catch up with the thief in a secluded area near the harbor. Telling the thief that he has no intention of taking his life, Ezio asks for his money back to call it even.
As he asked the thief, however, he is greeted by another figure. Ezio asks the man who he is, to which the man replies that he bore many names, but his most famous moniker is La Volpe, the name Leonardo mentioned. Ezio asks how he knew his name, and replies that it is his job to know everything about Florence. Ezio, doubting the man's appearance, asks him if he holds information on the whereabouts of Francesco de' Pazzi.
La Volpe replies that he has heard talk from a caravan from Rome, that there is a secret meeting within the Santa Maria Novella. Ezio asks him if he knew a way inside the Novella, to which he replies that he did; an old passage through some old catacombs underneath the Novella.
