Road Trip is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.

Description

Lorenzo de' Medici awards Ezio Auditore the Medici cape, a cape only given to those trusted by the House of Medici. He awards it to Ezio as thanks for saving life, similarly to when Giovanni Auditore saved Lorenzo from drowning in the Arno river when he was a child.

Dialogue

• Ezio: The Pazzi are dead. Every one of them.
• Lorenzo: I must admit, I've never before believed I could desire the death of others so badly.
• Ezio: Nor I...
• Lorenzo: Ezio, thank you for the role you've played in keeping this dream of mine alive a little longer.
• Ezio: L'onore è mio (It is my honor).
• Lorenzo: What will you do now figliolo (my boy)?
• Ezio: There are still others I must hunt, Signore. They're already digging their claws into the heart of Venezia.
• Lorenzo: No! La bella Venezia... (Beautiful Venice...) Then that is where your journey must take you, Ezio. Before you leave us... I have something for you. A gift.

Lorenzo signals and a man appears with the Medici Cape.

• Lorenzo: This cape identifies you as a friend of the Medici. As long as you wear it, the city guards will be more tolerant of your actions. But be warned, it will not grant you immunity from the law.

Ezio nods and then takes the cape.

• Lorenzo: Che la fortuna favorisca la tua lama (May fortune favor your blade).

Ezio leaves the Palazzo Medici, and soon arrives at Leonardo da Vinci's workshop.

• Ezio: Leonardo!? Leonardo!
• Civilian: Mi dispiace, Messere (I am sorry, sir), but he is gone. Maestro Leonardo was commissioned by a Venetian noble to paint some portraits. He paid for the Maestro to move his entire workshop to Venezia. It's quite an oppertunity!
• Ezio: Grazie mile (Thanks a lot), friend.

Outcome

Ezio is awarded the Medici cape, allowing him to remain Incognito in Florence or Tuscany as long as he wears it.
