Asterix: Asterix and The Soothsayer is a delightful tale where a soothsayer arrives in the Gaulish village, causing a stir among the villagers with his prophecies. While many are captivated by his predictions, Asterix remains sceptical and tries to uncover the truth behind the soothsayer's intentions.
