"Good afternoon Elder Ace," A friendly male elf who was patrolling said.
"Good afternoon, Cleon," Ace answered after checking the elf's name.
The news that Ace had become an elder besides 9 other elders had been spread among the townsmen. Because of that, there were just a few people who still didn't know his position in Laketown. And many more people greeted him when they met him on the road.
After picking Sofia from the town hall with Geo and Cloud, they walked towards the town plaza to join the event that would be held there.
In front of the town hall, the plaza was packed with townsmen. They came to participate in 'the grand banquet'.
It was an event that was suggested by Phil in the second elder meeting. At that time, Avril complained that the integration of the townsmen didn't make any progress. Most people were still doing activities among their own race, without trying to mix with people of different races.
