What is the conflict of the story?
Chief Moralsarelastix asked Asterix and his village to guard his cauldron of tax money but in the middle of the night it was stolen. Asterix and Obelix think that Julius Caesar’s Roman soldiers were the ones that took it and they try to steal it back. But they found a Roman tax collector who had the same exact coins. It turns out Chief Moralsarelasix stole his own money so he could pay the taxes for his village but trick Astrix into refilling the cauldron with gold.
