You accept Sebastian's offer.

You decide that you should take the opportunity to receive something of value in exchange for performing a certain service for Sebastian.

You say to Sebastian: “I agree to accompany you. I don’t really understand the concept of “money,” but I will help you, Sebastian.”

Sebastian smiles contentedly and pats you on the shoulder in a friendly manner.

He says: “You made the right choice. You clearly need to get used to this big city and I will help you get used to the rules of civilized life. Remember my next thoughts, Eddie! Money is the most important thing in this life! Money will help you get the valuable things you want. Money will help you ensure your safety. Money will help you communicate with people! Now come, follow me!"

Sebastian stood up from the table and approached the bartender. He handed the bartender a couple of small metal disks (the diameter of each disk was about 5 centimeters).

You heard the words that Sebastian said to the bartender: “This is for the drink that wild guy drank. I wish you success in your business, Jim! Goodbye!”

The bartender muttered something grumpily in response and continued to wipe the glasses.

Sebastian walked towards the exit of the bar.

He said goodbye to your second interlocutor, who remained sitting at the table: “See you, Conrad! Try not to drink all the **** in the bar! Ha! Ha!”

Sebastian then left the bar building. You followed Sebastian out. You turned around and looked at the sign of this bar, which said "Hospitable Jim's Bar."

You thought: “The owner of this establishment was not very hospitable. It seemed to me that he would try to beat me up after I did not understand his question about money. I was lucky that I met at least someone in this city who was more friendly.”

You looked at Sebastian. He scratched his head and thought about something.

Sebastian then took out from the pocket of his black trousers one small metal disk with a diameter of about 5 centimeters. You realized that this item was similar to the discs that Sebastian gave to the bartender Jim.

Sebastian said: "Look at this copper coin, Eddie! It's a copper coin with a face value of 1 cref. That's what you should think of when you hear the word "money"! Of course, there are more valuable coins: for example, a silver coin with a face value of 100 crefs or a gold coin denomination of 10,000 crefs. But it is unlikely that you will ever see such big money. The main thing to remember is that in our large and civilized city you can buy anything for this currency."

You took a closer look at the coin Sebastian showed you. You saw that this coin was engraved with the number one and the inscription “cref”, and on the reverse side of the coin was engraved the same symbol that you saw on the blue flags that were on a huge building in the center of Alma.

Sebastian then put the coin in his pocket.

He said, "We need to go west. We need one of the outskirts of the city. Follow me and keep up, Eddie."

Having said these words, Sebastian began to quickly walk down the street, moving away from the city center. You could see that he knew the surroundings and skillfully maneuvered between the streams of passersby.
