"That just leaves one last problem," David said, taking a deep breath.
"What?" Attilicia, showing off his abilities in front of his son for the first time, was quite pleased with himself.
"How are we going to 'take' this part? And, as you said, how do we take three percent from each cart without alerting the High Elf guards along the way?"
"Well..." Attilicia, who had been preoccupied with getting home, was suddenly dumbfounded. He had always been a good-natured fellow; he'd never contemplated such blatantly thieving problems!
In the end, it was David who proposed a theoretically feasible plan. He had thought of it based on a fantasy movie called *The Glory of Thieves*. In the movie, they used a "Teleportation Staff" to place a counterfeit painting, with a Teleportation Gate exit attached to it, into a carriage transporting treasure. What they needed to do was much simpler: use a similar operation to steal a portion of the Century Aroma seeds from each cargo cart.
