The announcement of an official visit to the small rebellious Gallic village, no matter how unpleasant it may be, is an event where protocol must be observed (even if just for appearances). Asterix will become the guardian of a... cauldron that, however, will not contain onion soup, which will understandably cause Obelix some confusion. Unfortunately, in this story, anyone who does not perform their duties correctly in the small village is exiled, and so Asterix, instead of making excuses, takes responsibility and tries to make amends for his mistake by collecting many sestertii. Thus, together with Obelix, they become merchants, gladiators, actors, and anything else they encounter on their way to fill their cauldron. However, they eventually realize that money also has... a scent, and a pleasant one at that. But in the end, greed always comes at a cost. Whether one belongs to the category a) of simple passersby b) of friendly individuals or c) of robbers.
