Can someone explain me this, I am not the most brilliant player. Details below the post

What about it?

I am trying to learn Ruy Lopez and start knowing at least enough openings for me to not be trapped in a single playstyle. I was watching videos abt it and all suggested this as the main line: Nf6, O-O Why? Doesn't this give a free pawn? The videos I watched didn't even cover the variation of Knight taking the pawn, I suppose it something obvious? When I do the King-Tower thingie in the analyzer the move Nxe4 suddenly stops being suggested, I don't see it and it is killing me, please help lmao
