The Fourth Part of the World was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description[]
Ezio Auditore arrived at a port, where he found Duccio de Luca flirting with Sofia Sartor. After scaring off the unwanted suitor, Ezio assisted Sofia by locating her package on a boat filled with guards, through the use of his Eagle Sense. Afterwards, he took the package, which turned out to be a map, to Sofia's book shop.
Dialogue[]
Duccio met up with Sofia, as Ezio watched and then intervened.
- Duccio: Mia cara! (My darling!) The strings of fate have drawn us together. Two italiani (Italians), lost and alone in the Orient. Do you not feel the magnetismo (magnetism)?
- Sofia: I feel many things, messere. (sir.) Nausea above all.
- Ezio: Is this man bothering you, Sofia?
- Duccio: Excuse me, messere (sir), but the lady and I are–
Duccio turned around and recognized Ezio.
Duccio fleeing from Ezio
- Duccio: Ah! Il diavolo in persona! (The Devil himself!) Stay back!
- Ezio: Duccio. A pleasure.
- Duccio: Run buona donna (dear lady!) Run for your life!
- Sofia: Who was that?
- Ezio: Un cane. (A dog.) He was engaged to my sister many years ago.
- Sofia: And what happened?
- Ezio: His cazzo (dick) was engaged to six others. Chiedo venia. (Excuse me.) So what brings you to these docks?
- Sofia: I took a break from my work to retrieve a package, but here they claim the captain's papers are not in order. So, I wait. Che seccatura. (Such a bother.) I could be here all day.
- Ezio: Let me see what I can do. I know a few ways to bend the rules.
- Sofia: Do you now?
- Ezio: Sì. (Yes.) I will meet you back at your shop.
Ezio climbed aboard the ship unnoticed, and found the package.
Ezio identifying the package
- Ezio: Sofia Sartor. Perfetto. (Perfect.)
Ezio returned to Sofia's shop.
- Sofia: Salute, Ezio. Any luck?
- Ezio: Madamigella (Miss) Sofia Sartor, libraia, (book monger,) Costantinopoli.
- Sofia: Oh no! Look at the damage. Did they use this to fight off pirates? Well, so far, so good.
Sofia opened up her package and unraveled a map from it, before admiring it.
- Sofia: Ah! Beautiful, no? This is a print of map by Martin Waldseemuller. See here? The new lands described by messer (mister) Amerigo Vespucci.
- Ezio: Poor Cristoforo Colombo. History has a strange way of unfolding.
- Sofia: What do you make of this body of water here?
- Ezio: A new ocean, perhaps? Most of the scholars I know claim the size of the globe has been underestimated.
- Sofia: Incredibile. (Incredible.) The more we learn about the world, the less we seem to know.
Sofia walked over to the table and retrieved the information Ezio desired.
Sofia handing Ezio the information about the first Polo book
- Sofia: Well, you honored your promise, here is mine fulfilled. If we are correct, this should show you the location of the first book. I must admit, my head is swimming with the prospect of seeing these books. This is knowledge the world lost, and must have again. Perhaps I could print a few copies to distribute myself. A small run of fifty or so, that should be enough...
Ezio chuckled.
- Sofia: Perché ridi? (Why are you laughing?)
- Ezio: Forgive me. It is a joy to see someone with a passion so personal and noble. It is... inspiring.
- Sofia: Goodness. Where's this coming from?
- Ezio: Grazie (Thank you), Sofia. I will return.
Outcome[]
Ezio was able to recover Sofia's parcel from the boat, and also gained further information about the location of one of the Masyaf Keys.
Trivia[]
- Ezio's sympathy for Cristoforo Colombo referred to the time when he assisted the explorer in beginning his voyage to the "New World" in Assassin's Creed II: Discovery.
